Chapter 1135: Trip Twice

That should be impossible. It had been a few days since they arrived, but he had only smelled the fragrance of roasted meat today.

“I… smell it too.”

Zhao Xi was extremely weak now. If not for the man dragging her, she would have collapsed on the ground.

She already guessed that they were nearing the Demon Destruction Valley’s teleportation portal. The fragrance of the roasted meat meant that someone had reached the portal before them, right?

Were they waiting for them to walk right into their trap?

She looked up and glanced at the man. She was very dissatisfied with him and cursed him silently.

However, she knew it was not the time to blow up. She would have to rely on this man to support her when they encountered the people from Jun Lin Hall later.

She had wanted to remove the Gu and treat her injuries along the way.

However, for some reason, despite eating so many medicinal herbs, not only did she not remove the Gu, but her injuries also worsened.

This was not what she had hoped for, but it happened. “They should be at the portal by now,” she reminded the man.

“What?” The man was shocked.

He wanted to reach the teleoortation portal first and set up some traps so that they could strike first.

However, those people had already arrived. He was caught in a dilemma and did not know what to do.

“Then what should we do? What other methods do you have to deal with them?”

Zhao Xi opened her mouth and was about to speak when he heard the man’s voice again.

“The demonic energy belonging to Demon Heart An Jiuyue has been used up. We won’t be able to open the Demon Destruction Valley’s teleportation portal without her demonic energy, right? Can you still gather her demonic energy?” the man asked her.

“I can’t.” Zhao Xi shook her head.

She had already used it once. How could she use it again?

As the Demon Heart, An Jiuyue would not trip over the same rock twice. If she would, how could she still suppress Wulong Mountain?

Although she could no longer gather Demon Heart’s demonic energy, there were other ways to open the teleportation portal. However…

She glanced at the man from the corner of her eye.

She wondered if she should sacrifice him. She did not know if it was true that he had placed the Gu on her. If it were true, she would die if she did.

However, she would not be able to enter the portal if she did not.

“I’ll think of another way. We’ll definitely be able to open the teleportation portal.”

She took a deep breath and recalled that the medicinal herbs she had picked previously were counter to the Gu and injuries in her body. If she did the opposite, would she be able to remove the Gu from her body?

“I’m going to pick some medicinal herbs. I’ll use them when we meet Qian Jiyun and the others. Think of a way to subdue them. You don’t have to defeat Qian Jiyun and Demon Heart An Jiuyue.

“But you have to defeat Bai Ze and the others at least. Even if you can’t, you have to stall for time,” she said.

“Alright, I understand. I’ll think of a way. Go and pick the herbs.” The man did not want to see Zhao Xi, this burden, and waved her off.

Zhao Xi saw his impatient gesture and turned to walk away. A sinister smile appeared on her face..
