Small Farmer Medical God

They knew that since Xiaobei made such a solemn promise, he wouldn't lie to them.

So, they could finally feel a little relieved now...

Seeing their expressions soften, Xiaobei knew they were reassured.

With a gentle smile, Xiaobei chuckled, "Now you can relax, right? Since you're relaxed now, don't cry anymore! Crying will ruin your pretty faces."

"Hmph! We want to cry if we choose to!"

Despite saying that, they quickly grabbed tissues and wiped their tears...

Obviously worried about not looking pretty anymore!

Watching them hurriedly dry their tears, Xiaobei laughed.

Soon, Xiaobei, smiling contentedly, picked up half a tomato and started eating delightfully...

Seeing Xiaobei's beaming face, they glared at him with frustration...

Soon, they started advising Xiaobei again, mostly about staying safe, and as usual, Xiaobei listened intently...

...

"Grandfather, is this the treasure map?"

The next morning, Xiaobei stood with Gu Dong.

This was his first time seeing this map filled with many details...

Feeling the ancient aura emanating from the map, Xiaobei couldn't help but squint...

Xiaobei knew it had indeed existed for a very long time.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have such a profound sense of antiquity.

Upon hearing Xiaobei's inquiry, Gu Dong, looking solemn, answered in a deep voice, "Yes, this is the treasure map our family has preserved for a long time. Previously, I found a box of Spirit Stones at the outermost layer of this treasure location!"

"I understand!"

Saying this, Xiaobei continued to carefully examine it.

Seeing this, Gu Dong did not interrupt...

Five minutes later, Xiaobei withdrew his gaze and spoke, "Grandfather, the treasure location doesn't seem very close to The Valley of the Wicked!"

Glancing at Xiaobei, Gu Dong softly explained, "Yes, actually it's because it's far away that none of our ancestors ever discovered its position."

As he spoke, he remembered the past...

At that time, he was searching for herbs, so he had gone farther away...

Otherwise, he wouldn't have had the chance to find it...

"Hmm!"

Hearing Gu Dong's explanation, Xiaobei nodded gently and then quickly asked, "Grandfather, when can we set off?"

With a light chuckle, Gu Dong smiled and said, "Once you're ready, we can set off anytime!"

Thinking for a moment, Xiaobei immediately said, "In that case, let's leave today. It's better to act sooner rather than later."

"Hmm!"

Nodding lightly, Gu Dong began calling everyone in.

Soon, many people from the family gathered there, including Lin Ling'er and Gu Xinxin.

Seeing them appear, Gu Dong sighed silently once more.

Initially, he had refused their request to join the expedition.

But the refusal didn't work, so Gu Dong had to concede...

Gu Dong knew that by letting Xiaobei take the lead in the treasure hunt, he was already hurting Xinxin, so he didn't want to hurt her further.

Xiaobei was unaware of Gu Dong's thoughts. After everyone gathered, he scanned them all and spoke in a low voice, "This treasure hunt might be dangerous. If anyone doesn't want to go, you can step forward now."

Hearing this, no one moved...

Seeing everyone's determination, Xiaobei's lips curled into a faint smile.

Soon, Xiaobei said, "Since everyone is determined, let's not waste time. Let's set off now!"

"Alright!"

Everyone quickly agreed.

All these young people were really excited at this moment...

Xiaobei was their idol, so they were thrilled to go treasure hunting with him, making it impossible for them to back out.

As they left The Valley of the Wicked, a man resting with closed eyes in a distant mountain nook suddenly opened them.

He was none other than Su Hai, who had been waiting there.

Earlier, after learning from Su Ye's subordinates that the people from The Valley of the Wicked might be going on a treasure hunt soon, he had been patiently waiting there.

Initially, he thought it would take longer to bear fruit.

But now, he realized he was overthinking; it didn't require more time at all...

"These people don't seem able to sit still. But that's good, starting early means finishing early."

After saying this, Gu Dong smiled cruelly, quietly following them...

He knew he needed to follow closely now, as it's the only way to take advantage of the situation.

Ahead, Xiaobei and others followed the map's route forward...

Many from The Valley of the Wicked hadn't been here before, so as they moved forward, everything felt new to them.

Gu Xinxin and Lin Ling'er felt the same...

Of course, despite the novelty, they didn't pay much attention, knowing they were here to explore, not for leisure...

...

"With so many people, they seem very confident!"

Five minutes later, Su Hai appeared at the place where Xiaobei and the others had been standing...

Squinting slightly, he expressionlessly continued his pursuit...

At this point, he wasn't troubled by their numbers, knowing his own strength, and that no number could affect him in the slightest, so he paid it no mind.

Glancing at them once more, Su Hai continued tailing them.

At this moment, walking in the front, Xiaobei suddenly stopped.

"Xiaobei, what is it?"

Seeing Xiaobei pause, everyone surprisingly asked aloud.

Because they didn't know what Xiaobei was up to.

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Xiaobei frankly said, "Something's approaching."

"What is it?"

Questioning like this, their expressions changed slightly...

"It should be some desert creatures."

Upon hearing this explanation, they quickly tried to sense it, but found nothing.

They knew Xiaobei wouldn't deceive them, so the only possibility was that the creature was still at a distance.

Seeing that they hadn't detected anything, Xiaobei squinted and said hoarsely, "They are rapidly approaching, seemingly like scorpions, in substantial numbers."

"Sand scorpions?"

Hearing Xiaobei's description, everyone's complexion changed slightly.

This desert region hosted many terrifying creatures, with sand scorpions being among the most fearsome.

What made them fearsome was their sheer numbers, and more importantly, their incredibly keen senses.

"We should run now!"

"Exactly, if the sand scorpions encircle us, it's a fight to the death!"

"Indeed, indeed!"

Thinking of the horror of sand scorpions, many young people paled, suggesting in fear...

They knew fleeing now was a bit shameful, but they had no choice as the sand scorpions were terrifying...

Once surrounded, hardly even bones might remain...

Feeling everyone's panic, Gu Dong frowned slightly and said, "Calm down, this panic isn't helping. Listen to Xiaobei."

"This… alright!"

Remembering Xiaobei's presence, they gradually calmed down...

Seeing them regain their composure, Xiaobei smiled confidently and quickly said, "Though sand scorpions are frightening, they won't bother us as long as you stand by my side!"
