Infinite Realms: From Resident Evil and Beyond

…

The Witch King did not stop Shen Ye and others from leaving, and even ordered his men to make way for Shen Ye and others to leave from the valley entrance.

After he could no longer see the backs of Shen Ye and others, the Witch King withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Li Maozhen.

"I trust you so much, yet you plotted against me." King Qi Li Maozhen was also looking at the Witch King, but his eyes showed no sadness or joy, not a single ripple.

The Wu King regained his previous stiff expression, bowed slightly to Li Maozhen, and said, "Please forgive me, Your Highness King Qi. If I hadn't done this, I would have died just now."

"However, in order to make amends, I am willing to fully support His Royal Highness Prince Qi in his quest for hegemony over the Central Plains after I build the Altar of the God of War."

"Really?" Li Maozhen's eyes finally showed some movement, but the meaning was unclear and no one could tell.

After a while, he put his hands behind his back, turned to the direction where Shen Ye and his group left, and said lightly: "I hope you can do what you say."

"I, the Witch King, always keep my word. However, Your Highness, King Qi, please remember what you promised me."

"That's...natural."

…

"Brother Shen, where are we going now?"

On the way, Lu Linxuan pushed Shi Yao aside, took Shen Ye's arm and asked.

Shen Ye said: "Go find someone who can cure the twin miasma on Li Maozhen."

"What about my dad?" Chi Meng asked dejectedly from the other side of Shen Ye: "Shouldn't we go find my dad first?"

"I do want to, but since the Witch King already knew we were coming, he must have hidden your father in a place where none of us can find him." Shen Ye sighed, "Now the Witch King has cast the twin miasma on my brother-in-law, and I can't do anything to him. Even if we want to catch him and force him to tell us your father's whereabouts, it will be difficult. So we can only find someone who can remove the witchcraft on Li Maozhen first, and then we can deal with the Witch King and rescue your father."

"But, that poisonous turtle said that no one except him can break the witchcraft on Li Maozhen." Chi Meng said with a bitter face.

"That's hard to say." Shen Ye certainly knew who could solve it.

However, just when he was thinking about whether to reveal the secret of the Twelve Caves in an obscure way, Hou Qing suddenly said: "I know a place, the people there should be able to solve it."

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

"Disciple, do you know?" Chi Meng asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Hou Qing nodded: "In fact, I have been to Miaojiang before. I know that inside the Miaojiang Poison Cave, there is a place called Twelve Caves. There are many experts there who are proficient in various witchcraft and sorcery. Maybe someone there can solve it."

"Twelve Caves?"

Hearing this, Chi Meng showed a curious expression. Although she was the Holy Maiden of Miaojiang, she did not know that there was such a place in Miaojiang, otherwise she would not have left the Ten Thousand Poison Valley and went to the Central Plains to seek help.

"Then do you know how to get there?" Chi Meng continued to ask.

Hou Qing nodded: "I know, but we have to go through a place called Dead Creek Forest."

Chi Meng was stunned and murmured, "That... forbidden place..."

…

The Dead Creek Forest is a forbidden area in the Ten Thousand Poison Valley. It is extremely dangerous. Usually, one can enter alive but not leave. It is regarded by the people in the Ten Thousand Poison Valley as a place that should never be set foot in. Even a powerful insect master dare not enter alone and can only watch from afar.

But it was precisely because of this that the Twelve Caves were completely hidden. Therefore, most people in the Ten Thousand Poison Valley did not know that there was a place called the Twelve Caves in Miaojiang.

Although Shen Ye and his group had just fought a fierce battle, they had no time to rest and set off immediately.

However, the Dead Creek Forest is a bit far from the Wandu Cave Miao Village. When Shen Ye and his group arrived at the edge of the Dead Creek Forest, dusk had already fallen.

"Do we have to go through the Dead Creek Forest to reach the Twelve Caves?"

Lu Linxuan was not a timid person, but when she saw several poisonous snakes entwined on a big tree not far ahead, she couldn't help but feel her scalp tingling.

Most women are naturally afraid of this.

Except Chi Meng.

She stepped forward and patted Lu Linxuan on the shoulder: "Hey, Sister Lu, don't be afraid, I'm here, don't worry about any poisonous snakes or insects."

After saying that, she walked straight over, raised the jade flute in her hand and played it softly.

The poisonous snakes and insects on the trees immediately scattered.

But even with Chi Meng leading the way in front to drive away the insects, Lu Linxuan and the others still surrounded Shen Ye. It seemed that only in this way could they muster up the courage to go inside.

At this time, night had fallen. As the woods here were too dense, even the moonlight could not penetrate many places. Everyone could only light torches and move forward in the dark.

But the light from the torches was obviously not enough in the dim woods, so the group did not move very fast. Moreover, they had not eaten dinner before entering the Dead Creek Forest. Chi Meng and Ying Gou ate a lot but got hungry quickly, so they soon could not walk anymore.

Looking at the two women who were holding their stomachs and looking listless, Shen Ye had to stop and let everyone rest on the spot.

Soon, the bonfire was lit.

Xuanjing Tian also took out some bread from the bag she was carrying and distributed it to everyone.

After Shen Ye got the pancake, he used a branch to fork it and put it on the fire to roast it. This kind of pancake was very solid and thick, but the disadvantage was that it was as hard as a rock after it got cold. He didn't want to make his stomach suffer, so he planned to roast it until it was softer before eating.

The others did the same as him, roasting the bread over the fire with branches, but Chi Meng and Ying Gou, who had good appetites and good teeth, started eating directly and quickly finished their portions. Then they looked at Xuanjing Tian eagerly, hoping that she would take out some more.

"No more." Xuanjing Tian is not Doraemon. She only brought one day's rations with her. She patted the bag placed aside, which was empty.

"Eat mine."

Seeing Chi Meng and Ying Gou looking disappointed, Shen Ye smiled and tore the freshly-baked pancake in his hand in half and gave half a piece to each of them.

"What about you?" Neither Chi Meng nor Ying Gou answered.

"I have more here." Shen Ye shook his head slightly and stuffed the cake into their hands. Then he rummaged in his arms and took out an oil-paper bag filled with braised beef.

He bought this in the village outside the Ten Thousand Poison Valley. He had originally intended to have it as a midnight snack with wine, but then he forgot about it. Now it's a good time to take it out and share it with everyone.

Actually, there were some food in his system space, but they were basically all canned food and self-heating food, which were really inconvenient to take out. Moreover, compared to the braised beef wrapped in oil paper, taking out a bunch of iron lumps and self-heating food in plastic from his arms was obviously too scary for Lu Linxuan and the others.

Of course, the main reason is that they haven't run out of food to the point where they can't survive. If they really have nothing to eat for several days, he wouldn't continue to hide it.
