Chapter 2245 - 644: Vermilion Bird
On the second day in Country Bai, An Yiqing, accompanied by the Thirteen Blood Generals, and Gu Yelin’s men split into two groups, heading towards one of the most famous and largest active volcanoes in the aristocratic family, Lemin Mountain.
Lemin Mountain is the highest peak in Country Bai and one of the most important national symbols. It is the largest active volcano in Country Bai, currently in a dormant state.
Regarding the location of Nuan Yin, An Yiqing had analyzed it, and the most likely place was within Lemin Mountain. Nuan Yin favored heat, and every time it relocated, it would go to a place with extremely high temperatures. The internal temperature of Lemin Mountain reaches about a thousand degrees, making it the hottest place in Country Bai.
At the foot of Lemin Mountain, the snow was glistening white. Many travelers who had come to catch a glimpse of Lemin Mountain’s scenery, backpacks on their backs, looked up excitedly at the snow-capped peaks. The peak of Lemin Mountain is snow-covered year-round, which is a fascinating sight for foreign travelers.
Along a quiet path, a group of people, carrying black backpacks, chatted and laughed as they climbed towards the top of Lemin Mountain. They wore identically styled gray baseball caps and jackets with a certain travel group’s logo printed on them. In front of them, a young girl holding a small flag, which had a certain travel company’s logo on it.
This was an ordinary tour group, hundreds or thousands of such groups visit Lemin Mountain every year.
"Everyone, the next period is free time, lasting for three hours. At one in the afternoon, we’ll gather promptly in the parking lot. Please don’t climb too high, make sure to go with a partner. If anything comes up, notify me immediately, understood?" The young tour guide repeatedly instructed them with a pleasant voice.
The tourists in the group nodded enthusiastically, clearly eager to explore the scenery of Lemin Mountain.
The young tour guide said no more and declared the group disbanded. In the blink of an eye, a dozen or so tourists had vanished.
Shaking her head helplessly, the young tour guide placed the small flag into her backpack and leisurely began her climb to the summit.
No one noticed that the tour guide and those dispersed tourists had disappeared without a trace.
Halfway up Lemin Mountain, in a secluded small forest, the sound of footsteps could be heard. Soon, a young girl in a white jacket walked in; she was the young female tour guide.
She looked up through the mottled branches, gazing into the distance, a trace of coldness and wistfulness in her eyes. This place, she remembered well.
A year ago, the Tutian Family had captured her entire family, and it was here that she, leading the Blood Guard Army, stormed into the Tutian Family headquarters, carving a bloody path. Meanwhile, she and Xiao Yu had both fallen from a cliff!
Unexpectedly, a year had passed, and she had returned!
Indeed, this sweet-looking young tour guide was An Yiqing in disguise.
Footsteps approached from afar, and An Yiqing swiftly hid up a tree branch.
Four middle-aged men, dressed in the same style jacket, backpacks on their backs, emerged from an unknown place. They looked around, then one of them placed a hand to his mouth and let out a clear bird call.
A gentle breeze passed, and the men turned their heads, their eyes lighting up with joy when they saw An Yiqing jumping down from the tree.
"Miss!"
"Hmm, wipe the makeup off your faces so we can recognize each other."
The four men immediately took out a small bottle from their backpacks, poured the liquid onto a towel, and gently wiped their faces, revealing their handsome features.
These men were An Zhifeng, An Zhiyun, An Zhiyu, and An Zhiying.
"Where’s everyone else?" An Yiqing asked.
Just as An Zhiyu was about to speak, footsteps could be heard all around. An Yiqing and the others immediately fell silent, jumping up into the trees to hide.
Three groups of people emerged from all directions, dressed in the same style jackets. An Yiqing and the others sighed in relief and jumped down from the trees once more.
"Miss!"
"Sister An!"
An Yiqing greeted Long Zixuan, Xiao Hei, and the other Thirteen Blood Generals, signaling them to change outfits.
"Everyone, come over, let’s plan our operation." She called everyone over, spreading out a map of Lemin Mountain, "Ah Feng, you, Xiao Feng, Tianci, and Tianbao split into four groups to conduct the geotemperature survey with your teams and return promptly by eight tonight. Also, Xiao Feng, your area is close to the Tutian Family base, so be cautious of patrolling ninjas. This is the patrol schedule for the Tutian Family base sent by Tutian Xiaotailang, keep it with you, and be sure to avoid them."
