With a fright, Duck quickly covered its rear and obediently nodded. The three of them led Platypus into the forest. After walking for about an hour, Lan Ran Qingtian turned to look around and said, "Isn't this the place where I encountered that Bakemono the other day?"
"Yes, this is the location between Exorcism Village and Ghost Night Village; we just passed through here yesterday!" Li Yunyang turned to glare at Duck and shouted, "Where is Duckbill Mountain? Are you trying to trick us, little chick?"
Platypus quickly shook its head and pointed with its beak towards a distant mountain peak that was faintly visible in the opposite direction, indicating that it was in that direction.
Xiang Xueer sat on horseback and looked up at the tall camphor tree. She then signaled Blue Dye with her eyes. He instantly leaped off his horse and jumped to the top of the tree.
Looking out, there indeed was a mist-covered mountain peak in front of them. At the foot of the mountain, black smoke billowed, confirming that what Platypus said was true; there were indeed monsters in that mountain. He estimated the distance and quickly jumped down from the treetop.
"That should be Duckbill Mountain, but it's quite far away!" Qingtian roughly calculated, "If we move quickly, we should be able to reach there before sunset!"
"At night!" Xiang Xueer smiled proudly after hearing this. "Nighttime is great; it makes it easier for us to move stealthily, plus it gives us an advantage when rescuing hostages."
She gave a thumbs up and raised an eyebrow at Li Yunyang. "Even if we get lost, it's fine; your nose is more sensitive than a dog's and much more effective than a compass!"
Compass? Li Yunyang blinked. The more he interacted with Xiang Xueer recently, the less he understood her strange phrases; he couldn't figure her out at all.
Sure enough, as they hurried to the foot of the mountain, the sun had already begun to set. Xiang Xueer swiftly removed the rope from Platypus's flat mouth and said, "Now you lead the way. If you dare play any tricks along the way, I'll slice you open!"
Xiang Xueer shook the dagger in her hand, scaring Platypus so much that it scrambled up the mountain, rolling and crawling in fear. She turned to look at a small muddy pit on the ground, reached out to smear some mud on her face, and raised her AK47, feeling as if she had returned to her mercenary days.
"The rescue operation for hostages at Duckbill Mountain begins!" She moved like a gust of wind, closely following Platypus. Li Yunyang glanced down at the muddy pit and then looked at Qingtian, utterly confused as he followed behind.
The road up the mountain was rugged, winding through towering peaks. Along the way, they could still hear the nightingale's cooing. Xiang Xueer looked up at the mountain peaks and grabbed Platypus, saying, "Hey, you Stinky Duck, when are we going to reach the summit? You’re not just messing with me, are you?"
"Our Duckbill Mountain is already very high. If you can't climb anymore, just say so!" Platypus turned around with a look of grievance and pointed to a faint light in the distance. "Isn't that already it?"
"Is that it?" Xiang Xueer squinted towards the light and indeed saw what appeared to be a gate of a mountain stronghold, with several Little Goblins in white cloaks patrolling around, wielding giant scythes.
Li Yunyang and Qingtian, who followed closely behind, also spotted the gate of the stronghold. The three of them formed a circle and began discussing their strategic deployment.
"We must bypass this stronghold's gate to avoid a direct confrontation with these monsters!" Xiang Xueer said while drawing on the ground with a stick. "Although we can go around the stronghold's gate, we don't know where the most suitable entry point is, so..."
As she spoke, she turned to look at Platypus, only to find that he was preparing to flee. Xiang Xueer grabbed him by the neck. "You dead Duck, did I not tell you what would happen if you dared to run away?"
"Waaah!" Platypus burst into tears again. "I can't tell you! If the Great Yokai find out I've betrayed them, they'll strip my fur off and eat me!"
"Are you not afraid that I will strip your fur off right now?" Xiang Xueer leaned in closer with a cold smile as she untied all the ropes on him. "When we charge in later, that Bakemono will also know you tipped us off and became a traitor. Dear, you want to run? Go ahead!"
Platypus's face darkened; it was already black fur but looked even darker now. He howled in despair, "You flat-chested devil woman, I hate you!"
Xiang Xueer's eyes twitched again. Li Yunyang and Qingtian were startled; it was over—this idiot had said the forbidden words. Seeing her fierce expression, Platypus quickly pointed to a small path on the left. "From here, there's a small back door we can use to enter. The Exorcist is locked in that cave in the southeast corner!"
Xiang Xueer's expression gradually softened as she reached out to pat his duck head. "Good, it's better to be sensible if you want to live longer."
Seeing that she didn't explode in anger, Li Yunyang and Qingtian finally breathed a sigh of relief. The three of them conferred briefly before heading towards the direction of the small back door.
After bypassing the gate of the cottage, there were indeed a lot fewer guards at the back. Xiang Xueer walked at the front and finally reached the back door that Platypus mentioned. He looked inside through the crack in the door. He stood beside the door inside. With a Little Goblin on guard. "Enemy found, one target!" Xiang Xueer turned her head and stretched out a finger towards the two people behind her. She looked around, then pointed at the two people, meaning to let them stay where they were, and then she slowly Pushing the door open a crack, and looking inside, Little Goblin was dozing there with his eyes closed. "Hey!" Li Yunyang saw her going in alone and wanted to step forward to stop her. However, Qingtian stopped her and signaled him not to be anxious. With so many people, the target could easily be revealed! Xiang Xueer's movements were like a cat holding its prey, rolling forward along the crack of the door. The Little Goblin was standing there dreaming of Duke Zhou. She quickly stepped forward and pulled out the dagger from her ankle, "Whoosh" With a sound, a hand covered its mouth, and the sharp dagger quickly slashed across the ghost's neck. Bright red blood flowed down the white cloak, killing it instantly. "Yeah!" Xiang Xueer looked at the dazzling blood stains and suddenly felt her head started to hurt again. The boiling blood rushed towards her head. She quickly threw it to the ghost's corpse and shook her head vigorously. Then it calmed down. At the door, a hand stretched out, making an OK gesture, and then waved. Outside the door, Li Yunyang and Qingtian saw her gesture, which meant that they could come in at the right time. The two of them looked at each other, then pulled Platypus cautiously through the door. Li Yunyang turned to look at Little Goblin who had fallen on the ground, and suddenly said in surprise: "Oh my God, you are so fast! "Tch, this is nothing!" Xiang Xueer rubbed his nose proudly: "My results are the best in our team, and I never fail. Of course, the time when I was plotted against by that bastard He Qingming doesn't count. !" "What is a team? Isn't your family Ouyang Clan?" Lan Ran Qingtian looked at the body strangely, and he struck decisively without any hesitation, and the knife edge was as neat as a well-trained Exorcist. "Hoho, we'll talk about this later, let's get down to business!" Xiang Xueer looked around for a moment, then turned and glared at Platypus: "When is the next change of guard at this post?" "The back door is Changing of the guard at midnight!" Platypus answered very crisply this time. He was full of thoughts and pointed at the cave entrance in the southeast corner: "Hurry up, the Exorcists are locked in that one. !”
