Chapter 1033 - The Dark Grand Canyon (5)

"I've never known that strength is determined by numbers. I really don't know where you get your confidence from. You guys will contribute the most," Leng Ruoxue said as if she was looking at a joke.

"There are so many of us. Can't we compare to the four of you?" When the man heard this, fire immediately surged up and he couldn't help but roar.

"If I say that you can't compare, will you be so angry that you want to kill me?" Leng Ruoxue asked innocently and innocently. The expression on her beautiful face was even more silly and cute.

The man was very angry, very angry! However, when he saw the innocent expression on Leng Ruoxue's face, he actually couldn't vent all his anger. After holding it in for a long time, the man said angrily, "Hmph! Let's see. Don't regret it if you don't choose us!"

With that, the man turned around and walked away angrily.

"Why is this person like this! How rude." Leng Ruoxue pretended to be dissatisfied as she looked at the man's back.

"Xue'er is so cute." The freak couldn't resist the temptation and hugged the cute Leng Ruoxue…

"Ahem!" Two coughs suddenly sounded. Then, Leng Ruohan said in all seriousness, "Be careful of your image in public. Don't touch my precious sister."

"Xue'er is my woman," the freak reminded him.

"Xue'er is my sister," Leng Ruohan reminded her.

"Brother, Freak, don't be jealous. Let's enter the Dark Grand Canyon quickly!" Leng Ruoxue said helplessly.

"Yes." The two of them immediately nodded. Then the four of them walked towards the entrance of the Grand Canyon.

However, before they entered the canyon, Leng Ruoxue stopped in front of the old and young. Even though Leng Ruohan and the others didn't understand what Xue'er wanted to do, they didn't ask further. In their hearts, Xue'er was right no matter what she did!

The old man in front of Leng Ruoxue was about 70 years old. He looked like he had gone through a lot, but his eyes were extremely bright and revealed a sense of shrewdness.

As for the young man, he looked to be about 17 or 18 years old. He was young and had a pair of bright black eyes on his slightly tender face. At this moment, he was looking at them curiously.

Even though the clothes on these two people were a little shabby, they were very clean. Moreover, their attitude was neither servile nor overbearing, giving Leng Ruoxue a good first impression.

"Does the old man have a team?" Leng Ruoxue asked with a light smile.

"No, we're here to guide someone else," the old man said. His voice was loud and full of energy.

"Oh! I wonder how much you charge?" Leng Ruoxue asked curiously, but she was secretly laughing in her heart. Hehe! She really got what she wanted! She happened to want to find a guide!

"Ten intermediate-grade crystals!" The old man hesitated and said.

"Ten intermediate-grade crystals aren't expensive. My grandson and I are very familiar with this place. We can definitely bring you guys to find something good," The old man hurriedly added. In fact, he had already offered this price for a long time. However, others found it expensive, so no one had hired them. Now that someone finally asked, he didn't want to let go of this opportunity.

"Okay." Leng Ruoxue nodded in agreement.

"Ah! You… you agreed?" the old man asked in disbelief. Was he dreaming? This beautiful lady agreed to his bid without any hesitation. This was really unbelievable.

"Yes! Can you bring us into the Grand Canyon now?" Leng Ruoxue asked with a light smile. The reason why she liked this old man and young man was that they looked more honest and pleasing to the eye.

"Yes, yes, Ao'er, thank this lady quickly. The crystal you converted energy into is finally settled," the old man pulled his grandson over and said happily. His face was almost blooming with joy.

"Thank you, Miss," the young man named Ao'er said shyly.

"There's no need to thank me. As long as you can bring me to what I want, I will give you an additional reward," Leng Ruoxue said softly.

"No, no need. Ten intermediate grade crystals are enough," the old man hurriedly said. The reason he had offered this price was to earn enough money for his grandson to convert energy. Now that he had earned it, he naturally could not charge additional fees. Otherwise, he would feel guilty.

Seeing the old man decline, Leng Ruoxue didn't say anything else. Then, the four of them followed the grandfather and granddaughter into the dark canyon…

The Dark Grand Canyon was a deep valley. The temperature inside was very low, and it was foggy all year round. It was dark and humid, so the poisonous insects and poisonous grass here grew very active.

However, with the grandfather and granddaughter leading the way, Leng Ruoxue and the others easily avoided the attacks of many poisonous insects!

Looking at her grandfather and grandson's familiar and calm manner as if they were walking in their own backyard, Leng Ruoxue felt that her judgment was correct.

"Ao'er and I live nearby. We often came here to play when we were young, so we're very familiar with the environment here. Most of the poisonous insects here won't attack you as long as you don't take the initiative to provoke them. However, some poisonous insects are different, so avoid them if you can. Don't clash with them head-on," the old man explained calmly when he felt Leng Ruoxue's gaze.

"Okay." Leng Ruoxue nodded. Even though these two weren't very strong, they were very clear about life. Their words also revealed their indifferent and aloof characters.

"Miss, there's a very precious medicinal herb not far from here. However, there's a guardian beast there, so…" The old man didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was very clear.

"What herb?" Leng Ruoxue asked curiously.

"Camphor Wood," the old man said. Even though he was not an alchemist, he knew how precious Camphor Wood was. Unfortunately, his strength was limited, so he could only sigh at the sight of it. Now that Leng Ruoxue had done a great favor for him and his granddaughter, he was very willing to use this opportunity to tell Leng Ruoxue and the others the location of the incense wood. As for whether they could obtain it or if they had the guts to snatch the wood from the beast's mouth, it was not within his consideration.

"Are you sure?" Leng Ruoxue couldn't believe it. How could there be Camphor Tree here? Normally, this place wasn't suitable for the growth of Camphor Trees! Even though Camphor Trees liked places with dense spiritual energy, there was a trace of poison in the spiritual energy here, so she was suspicious of the old man's words.

"Yes." The old man nodded. He had heard the name of the Camphor Wood from the guardian beast! Later, after he was lucky enough to escape from the beast's mouth, he specially went to investigate the Camphor Tree. That was how he knew how precious this incense wood was.

"In that case, bring us to take a look!" Leng Ruoxue said with interest, and the Qing Jue in the bracelet kept reminding her to get the Camphor Wood.

"Alright, please follow me," the old man said. Then he walked to the front to lead the way.

Not long after, Leng Ruoxue and the other three followed the old man to a cliff. Through the old man's guidance, they looked up and indeed found a small tree half the height of a person halfway up the cliff. The small tree was emerald green and watery, and it was growing vigorously. Moreover, it seemed to be living very comfortably.

"This is the Camphor Tree?" Leng Qingtian asked curiously. This Camphor Tree was too small! When would it grow into a towering tree?

"Hehe! Grandpa, this is it," Leng Ruoxue said with a light smile.

"Xue'er, is this tree still underage?" Leng Qingtian asked with a face full of question marks.

"Grandpa, it's already an adult. The Camphor Tree will only grow this big," Leng Ruoxue explained with a smile.

"Uh! What's the use of such a small tree!" Leng Qingtian complained, feeling extremely disappointed with this small tree.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a childish voice sounded in his heart.

"I'm very useful, you ignorant old man," the tender child-like voice said in dissatisfaction.

"Ah! Who's talking!" Leng Qingtian suddenly shouted.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Leng Ruoxue, who felt that something was wrong, quickly asked with concern.
