Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Since everyone has decided to participate, I'll explain to everyone the specific route we're going to take and the things to take note of when we enter the deep mountains." Chu bubai clapped his hands excitedly and turned to Lin Yi,""Give me your backpack."

"Alright," he said. Lin Yi glanced at him and nodded. He handed his backpack to Chu bubai. Chu bubai gave it to him personally this morning, but he didn't know what was inside.

Chu bubai rummaged through his bag for a while and took out six maps, distributing them to Lin Yi and the others.

didn't they already have the map? lin yi couldn't help but be surprised, but when he took it and looked at it carefully, he immediately understood the difference between the two. although it was the same map of lufeng forest, chu bubai's map was clearly much larger and more detailed than the one the teleportation formation gave him.

although the map sent by the teleportation formation had coordinates, it was not very detailed. there were very few landmarks and references on it. on the other hand, the map that chu bubai gave him had everything clearly marked, from the top of the mountain to the smallest ravines and streams. even if it was someone's first time in lufeng forest, they would be able to tell with a single glance.

lin yi couldn't help but look at chu bubai in surprise. what was this guy's background?

an ordinary map was easy to find, but this kind of detailed map was impossible for ordinary people. for those cultivators who were interested in adventuring in lufeng forest, this map itself was already an extraordinary treasure.

If word of this got out, there would be people willing to buy it even if the price was tens of thousands of spirit Jade. One had to know that in a place like Lufeng forest where danger lurked everywhere, a detailed map was a life-and-death guarantee for cultivators.

However, after comparing it with the map from the teleportation formation, Lin Yi realized that the map Chu bubai gave him didn't cover the entire Lufeng forest, but only a part of it.

To be more precise, this particularly detailed map was actually spread out around a route, and the end of this route had been marked on it, which was a small circle in the deep mountains.

"Everyone, look carefully. The small circle on the map is the possible location of the baby ginseng, which is our destination. As long as we follow the route marked on the map, we can reach there safely." Chu bubai faced the crowd and made a solemn vow.

When everyone heard this, their eyes couldn't help but light up. Each and every one of them was excited and eager to try, as if they could already see the baby ginseng waving at them, and couldn't wait to set off immediately.

"Brother Chu, pardon me for asking, but is this map reliable?" Lin Yi suddenly asked.

Guo dengtao and the others were shocked as they turned to Chu bubai. They were too excited and only remembered the hidden danger after Lin Yi mentioned it.

The map was detailed, but if it was not reliable, it would not be a life insurance. Instead, it would become a fatal trap, leading the group to report to the King of Hell.

"That's a good question. I can tell you very clearly that you don't have to worry. This map is absolutely reliable." Chu bubai smiled and said,""I won't hide it from you all. This map was passed down from generation to generation in my Chu clan. One of my ancestors and his friend used this exact route when they came to the depths of Lufeng forest. That's why we have this map."

"A family heirloom map?" Guo dengtao and Wang Feng were stunned. They didn't know much about Chu bubai, and they didn't expect this to be his family heirloom. No wonder it had never appeared in the market.

"In that case, brother Chu's ancestors should have found the baby ginseng?" Lin Yi followed up with another question. This map was passed down from the ancestor, which meant that the ancestor must have seen the baby ginseng before, and the people of house Chu must've tried it a lot after that. After all, the baby ginseng was too tempting for normal people.

"You can say that. According to my ancestor, he and his friends accidentally found the place where the baby ginseng was growing, so he deliberately left this family map for the descendants of the Chu family to use as a reference. Unfortunately, after him, no one in the Chu family was able to reach the late Jindan stage. Without this strength, this family map was useless. It was only put to use after I broke through." Chu bubai explained.

Everyone nodded one after another. Lufeng forest was full of danger. If one didn't even have the strength of a late-stage golden core cultivator, not to mention that they wouldn't dare to go to the depths of the core, even if they were lucky enough to get the baby ginseng, it wouldn't be of any use at all.

After all, a sixth-grade medicinal pill like the Golden core was only effective for Masters in the great circle of the Golden core realm who were about to form the nascent soul. If one took it directly without enough strength, not only would he not be able to break through, but his body would also explode and die. A good Holy medicine would become a deadly poison.

However, Lin Yi didn't completely believe Chu bubai's words. There seemed to be nothing wrong with the logic, but if he thought about it carefully, he could still find some suspicious points.

Did the ancestor of the Chu family get the baby ginseng? If he got it, then he was very likely to become a master of the Yuanying stage. His life was long and he wouldn't die so easily. Why didn't he come again?

Also, even if that ancestor of the Chu clan didn't get the baby ginseng, or said that he died in an accident, would the descendants of the Chu clan really be so honest? would they really just guard the treasure Mountain and not set foot in Lufeng forest if they didn't have enough strength?

According to a normal person's thinking, even if they were not strong enough, they would definitely try to find a reliable person to help them guard such a family map. It was impossible for them to not do anything, right?

Even if the pugilistic world was dangerous and outsiders were not to be trusted, there should be a way out. They shouldn't be so helpless, right?

These were all questions, but Lin Yi didn't question them directly. He didn't believe Chu bubai's bullsh * t, but he believed that the map was most likely real. He'd rather see what would happen next than to turn against him now.

"Brother Chu, you said that you accidentally stayed in Lufeng forest last time, and it was in the depths of the core. You must have been exploring the way, right?" Lin Yi suddenly asked.

"Hehe, you've guessed it right," Chu bubai was stunned for a moment. He then smiled and explained to the crowd,""I wanted to give it a try last time, but because it was my first time here, I didn't have any experience and didn't calculate the time in advance. So, before I reached the core, the miasma fog came back again. I had no choice but to find a way to escape. But it wasn't without results. At least I personally verified the reliability of this map, so everyone doesn't have to worry."

"I see. Since brother Chu has personally verified it, we can rest assured now." Guo dengtao and the others nodded. (To be continued.)
