This Mountain God’s Decree contains a Mountain God’s Rain-Summoning Technique, which can be used to clear away poisonous miasma.
This is just what’s needed to deal with the current situation.
“The wind is coming!”
Chen Yansheng manipulated the Mountain God’s Token, silently reciting the command.
Waaah!
As soon as he finished speaking, a gentle breeze blew through the mountains and forests.
The purple miasma before them was visibly dispersed by the breeze, eventually revealing the lush vegetation beneath.
“Yansheng, the poisonous miasma has been dispersed!”
Yu Bingjie was also amazed by this scene and exclaimed in surprise.
“Bingjie, this means you are my lucky star. As long as you are by my side, I can go wherever I want…”
Chen Yansheng smiled and teased Yu Bingjie.
Yu Bingjie blushed and glared at him: “You just know how to say nice things to me.”
Seeing Bingjie’s shy yet elegant appearance, Chen Yansheng swallowed hard.
This woman seems to be becoming more and more attractive.
After the poisonous miasma dissipated, the two entered the woods.
Following the guidance of the mountain god’s decree, Chen Yansheng soon arrived at a large, rotten tree.
Judging from the size of this tree, it must have lived for at least several hundred years.
At that moment, a blood-red ginseng root was faintly visible at the base of the rotting tree.
“Yan Sheng, it’s a blood ginseng! This blood ginseng is much more valuable than ordinary wild ginseng!”
Upon seeing the blood ginseng, Yu Bingjie exclaimed excitedly.
Upon seeing the blood ginseng, Chen Yansheng’s lips curled into a smile.
The guidance of the Mountain God’s decree was indeed correct.
The more vibrant the wood element in a mountain product, the rarer it is.
This old ginseng has been growing for at least a hundred years.
Its value far exceeds that of the old ginseng from before.
“Bingjie, you’re such a lucky charm for your husband! You’ve led me to a century-old blood ginseng.”
Chen Yansheng smiled lightly at Yu Bingjie.
Yu Bingjie had gotten used to Chen Yansheng’s praise, and with a wry smile, she took out a red string from her pocket:
“You’re just teasing me. Hurry up and dig out the blood ginseng.”
Chen Yansheng took the red rope, tied it to the roots of the blood ginseng, and prepared to dig it up.
“Oh ho!”
At that moment, a furious roar of a wild beast suddenly came from deep in the mountains and forests.
Immediately afterwards, the ground began to tremble slightly.
Both of them could sense that a pack of ferocious wild beasts was rushing towards them.
“Iwao, what kind of wild beast is that sound?”
A look of tension appeared on Yu Bingjie’s face, and her fair hands gripped the wood-chopping knife slightly.
“It’s the sound of a jackal!” Chen Yansheng’s expression also turned serious.
Among jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards, the jackal ranks first, which shows its ferocity.
Most importantly, jackals have always lived in packs.
Once you get entangled with them, it’s dangerous.
“Iwao, they seem to be heading this way, what should we do?”
After sensing the movement of the jackals, Yu Bingjie quickly looked at Chen Yansheng.
“It seems that this century-old blood ginseng belongs to them.”
“If we dig up their treasures, they will definitely not let us go.”
As Chen Yansheng spoke, he quickened his pace and began to dig up the century-old blood ginseng.
However, most of these century-old blood ginsengs grow underground, so they must be dug up carefully without damaging their roots.
It’s impossible to go fast if you want to.
The jackals were already in the woods, less than a few dozen meters away from them.
Every jackal had bloodshot eyes and looked extremely hungry.
Upon seeing two humans harvesting their blood ginseng, they roared in anger and charged towards them.
“Bingjie, I’ll need a little more time to harvest this blood ginseng. You go ahead!”
Seeing that the jackals were about to pounce, Chen Yansheng hurriedly said to Bingjie.
“Then what are you going to do?” Yu Bingjie asked hurriedly.
“After I finish digging up the blood ginseng, I’ll lure them away. Besides, I have a hunting rifle, so don’t worry about me,” Chen Yansheng said.
“How can you deal with so many jackals with just a hunting rifle?” Yu Bingjie looked somewhat frightened, but still gritted her teeth and said:
“I’ll stay; there’s strength in numbers!”
Without waiting for Chen Yansheng’s objection, she grabbed her wood-chopping knife and charged towards the jackals.
Seeing this, Chen Yansheng looked somewhat anxious, but he still sped up the process of digging up the blood ginseng.
In the blink of an eye, the pack of jackals had arrived in front of the two.
“Get out of the way! We saw this blood ginseng first, so get lost!”
Yu Bingjie gripped the wood-chopping knife in both hands, waving it around and shouting at the jackals.
Her voice trembled, revealing how terrified she was.
But this blood ginseng is priceless.
Selling it would not only pay off the money her family owed Wang Mazi, but also allow them to save money to treat her younger brother’s illness.
Chen Yansheng could also prove that he could make money by trading mountain products, thus persuading Sister Yuting to allow him to marry her.
Therefore, Yu Bingjie could not back down no matter what.
The jackals seemed intimidated by Yu Bingjie’s appearance wielding the wood-chopping knife; they simply surrounded the two of them without launching an attack.
However, jackals are very cunning wild beasts and are good at teamwork, taking advantage of the moment when their prey is off guard to launch a fatal attack.
Seeing that the jackals did not launch an attack, Yu Bingjie breathed a sigh of relief.
She now hopes that Chen Yansheng can quickly dig out the blood ginseng, and then the two of them can slowly leave this mountain forest.
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but tilt her head slightly to see if Chen Yansheng had finished digging.
In that instant, a jackal on Yu Bingjie’s other side seized the opportunity and pounced directly at her.
Those sharp teeth aimed straight for Yu Bingjie’s snow-white neck.
The jackal’s bite force is astonishing; a single bite from it is certain death.
“careful!”
Upon seeing this scene, Chen Yansheng, who had just finished digging up the blood ginseng, changed his expression drastically and rushed over, stretching out his left hand to block Yu Bingjie’s neck.
The jackal bit Chen Yansheng’s arm, leaving several bloody holes.
Chen Yansheng winced in pain, his expression turning furious. He gripped the hunting rifle in his other hand and fired a shot at the jackal’s head, sending the jackal flying and blowing its head off.
Upon witnessing the power of the hunting rifle, the surrounding jackals were all frightened and took a few steps back.
This series of actions happened in just a few seconds.
By the time Yu Bingjie realized what was happening, Chen Yansheng’s arm was already bleeding profusely.
“Yansheng, your hand…”
Knowing that Chen Yansheng was injured while protecting her, Yu Bingjie felt guilty and her eyes reddened.
While crying, she tore off the left sleeve of her clothes and used it to bandage Chen Yansheng.
If he hadn’t insisted on coming along, Chen Yansheng might not have been injured.
It’s all my fault!
Seeing Yu Bingjie’s tear-streaked face, Chen Yansheng wiped away her tears and comforted her with a smile:
“You only got bitten by a jackal, why are you crying?”
“That night at the mountain god temple, when you bit my shoulder, it was much harder than that!”
Yu Bingjie, who was still crying, blushed immediately upon hearing Chen Yansheng’s words.
She knew Chen Yansheng was trying to comfort her, and laughed through her tears, “Even at a time like this, you’re still taking advantage of me!”
“It hurts so much!”
