Gu Mengmeng originally thought, since she did not mate with Lea, she should not bring him into such dangerous situations. In case something happened to her in the Snake King valley, then perhaps Lea could start a new life after mourning over it for a while.
However, looking at how they were complementing one another, it seemed like if she did not bring Lea along, she couldn’t even leave the meeting room, let alone the Snake King valley.
Helplessly sighing, Gu Mengmeng eventually nodded, “Alright, we’ll go together.”
It was only then that Lea heaved a sigh of relief, biting Gu Mengmeng’s lips as a punishment, which eventually become a deep kiss.
Lea only released reluctantly when she was about to suffocate, wiping away the saliva on her lips. There was an unexplainable gentleness in his narrow, longing eyes, “You are no longer allowed to say anything that insinuates for me to stay behind, alright?”
Gu Mengmeng nodded, and no longer struggled.
Since Gu Mengmeng was truly too concerned about the children, she could not wait three days, so on the second morning, Gu Mengmeng handed Chixuan to Sandy to take care of while Lea handed the responsibility to Dylan to go to Sandy’s checking on Chixuan’s condition daily in order to try their best to stabilize the toxicity in his body. Then, the three of them left the tribe, walking towards the Snake King valley with the markings that the Eagle-owl tribe had left behind.
Elvis and Lea took turns to piggyback Gu Mengmeng on the way. Gu Mengmeng knew if she requested to walk by herself it would seem more considerate, but it would only delay the progress of the group. So, although she felt her heart aching, she remained silent, only forcing Elvis and Lea to rest for a night every three days.
On the tenth day, they arrived at the entrance of a valley, and at the huge tree beside the entrance, Ian was leaning against a branch waiting for them.
“Cole did not come back out again after he went in from here, we tried following in to yet we could not find him no matter how hard we tried, so the entrance is probably nearby.” Ian gave a short summary.
Gu Mengmeng nodded, “Alright, thank you for your help. You guys go back and take a break, we will settle the rest.”
Ian raised his eyebrows, and an unhappy expression crept up on his sickly face, “Settle the rest? Ha, I’m afraid you would be eaten by all the snake beasts all around here before you even find the direction to the entrance.”
Startled, Gu Mengmeng immediately took a closer look at the ground, and indeed found signs of snakes from the shrubs. Afraid, she subconsciously hid in Elvis’ embrace.
Ian, “Ha, without you, this fifth-level orc Elvis could still get by with looking out here. Now, even if you clump them both together, they won’t possibly be able to protect you from the number of snake beasts here, yet you still want to settle the rest… Tsk, burdensome.”
That made Gu Mengmeng especially angry, yet she was unable to retaliate, and could only glare with her eyes wide open, “Then what do you say we should do?!”
Ian shook his wings, “Bring you to act cool and fly.”
Gu Mengmeng’s eyes lightened up as she patted Ian’s shoulder, “Not bad brother, one with wings is an angel!”
Ian smirked arrogantly, then opened his chest, “Hug on tight, I won’t be responsible if you fall to your death.”
Gu Mengmeng held on to Ian’s neck with both arms, and exerted strength on both her legs to tuck them at his waist, “Yeah! As long as we’re in the sky, these snake beasts can’t do anything about me, and Elvis and Lea wouldn’t have to be distracted by me.”
