Chapter 2241 - 2241: Danger 3

She understood perfectly well why the Head of the Undead Race had taken that action. He was safeguarding her, driven by his concern that she might end up in a precarious situation. Given their current circ.u.mstances, encircled by threats, it was all too easy to run into trouble.

Nevertheless

Her objective remained obtaining the One Origin Gra.s.s.

This mans proposition aligned precisely with her intentions she could be the one to make the selection first.

If she chanced upon the One Origin Gra.s.s, she could secure it directly.

Furthermore, their current situation was favorable, and the sheer number of people meant they could a.s.semble a formidable team. This was far superior to the three of them facing the risks alone.

After weighing her options carefully, Gu Chaoyan promptly agreed.

Upon hearing her response, the Head of the Undead Race grew anxious. He stamped his feet and discreetly signaled Gu Chaoyan, urging her to exercise caution. This deal wasnt as promising as it seemed.

Gu Chaoyan nodded, indicating her understanding.

Ill lead the way, and you and Di Hongyun neednt expose yourselves to danger. Your safety is paramount, Gu Chaoyan stated.

Ill accompany you, Di Hongyun promptly declined her offer.

Ill join as well, The Head of the Undead Race reluctantly agreed. Though he was not overly enthusiastic about the idea, he recognized the peril and knew his experience could be of some a.s.sistance.

Gu Chaoyan offered a brief smile and didnt reject their willingness.

Instead, she turned around and pressed forward.

The door swung open, revealing an empty room. Its barrenness exceeded even that of their current quarters.

Nothing? It cant be dangerous, can it? the Head of the Undead Race commented, a touch of relief in his tone.

Gu Chaoyan shook her head subtly it was far from being that straightforward.

Suddenly, Gu Chaoyan caught a distinct scent and immediately shouted, Cover your mouths and noses, dont breathe!

There was something amiss within.

Something amiss, and it wasnt just one thing.

The room was saturated with toxic gas!

As the door swung open, the poisonous air began seeping into the room.

Though the toxicity was relatively low, the consequences could still be dire.

Lets move! Gu Chaoyan commanded.

She hastily navigated through the room permeated with poisonous fumes.

Gu Chaoyan found relief as she entered the adjoining room and sealed the door behind her. She took a few deep breaths.

In that moment, several individuals began exhibiting peculiar behavior, collapsing outright.

Observing the scene, the Head of the Undead Race stepped forward and declared, Hes dead!

They must have inhaled the poison, Gu Chaoyan surmised.

Despite her warning, three individuals had still succ.u.mbed to the poison.

With that said, Gu Chaoyan didnt dwell on the matter for long, though she couldnt help but feel a sense of regret. It was apparent that their behavior had been influenced by the unseen threat.

At this point, Gu Chaoyan turned her attention to the room itself. It contained basic furnis.h.i.+ngs tables, chairs, and tea sets that had seen prior use. There were still remnants of tea in the cups, as if someone had been residing here.

Indeed..

Who could possibly inhabit such a location?

Gu Chaoyan simply couldnt fathom it.

And then..

A man emerged from behind a decorative screen. Congratulations, you have successfully completed my evaluation.

Evaluation?

The entire situation left those present bewildered.

What came next after the a.s.sessment? What was the purpose of it all?

Who are you?
