My Silly, Sweet Wife

Following the route they had walked earlier, Ye Guichen stepped into the chaotic stone formation.

Everything seemed unchanged, as if the stone formation was just a pile of rocks.

However, Ye Guichen felt that the instant he entered the chaotic stone formation, a pair of eyes were already watching him.

The opponent seemed to be hunting, quietly waiting for the prey to take the bait.

”Interesting, interesting indeed!” With his exceptional perception and senses, Ye Guichen was rarely matched, and a mere array would certainly not trouble him.

Nevertheless, Ye Guichen pretended to act normally and followed Guan Renwang’s previous route cautiously.

As he approached where Lu Dahu had disappeared, Ye Guichen suddenly heard the sounds of fighting and screams ahead. Looking up, he saw hundreds of vicious wolves surrounding Guan Renwang and his men.

They bared their fangs, violently tearing at Guan Renwang’s men.

Guan Renwang wielded his great knife, covered in blood.

”Argh, beasts! How dare you bite me, you’re asking for death!” Guan Renwang’s body seemed to transform into a ball, rolling around, slashing through a section of vicious wolves.

Despite the large number of wolves, Guan Renwang eventually slaughtered them all under his knife.

Even so, Guan Renwang suffered heavy losses, with fewer than twenty men left.

”Damn, what kind of place is this!”

Guan Renwang never expected such a place in the desert.

Someone nervously asked, ”Second Master, this, this place is too strange, and those desert wolves seem to be controlled by someone. They’re not afraid of death, nor do they eat meat; it’s as if they’re here just to kill us. Should we still proceed?”

Guan Renwang could clearly see the abnormality of these desert wolves.

In the desert, Guan Renwang often dealt with desert wolves, but they never attacked groups of over a hundred.

Moreover, if unable to win, those wolves would retreat swiftly.

But today, these wolves acted unusually, fearless, determined to end their lives.

”Treasure might be alluring, but you need your life to spend it!” Guan Renwang, though a warrior, cherished life and noticed what appeared to be a cave ahead.

Lu Dahu, previously missing, stood near the cave.

As if unaffected by the fight behind him, he stood about ten meters from the cave’s entrance, gazing upwards, pondering whether to enter.

”You, go check on that guy!” Guan Renwang, unwilling to let go, pointed at one of his subordinates.

Despite his fear, the subordinate managed to muster some courage and ran quickly towards where Lu Dahu stood.

However, after running barely thirty meters.

Boom!

There was a loud explosion.

The subordinate stepped on something unknown, instantly blasted apart, leaving only debris.

”Damn!” Guan Renwang swore, ”Explosives? How the hell are there explosives here? Could someone be intentionally leading me?”

Guan Renwang finally felt the fear.

This place was abnormal; carelessness could result in death.

”Damn it, retreat quickly!” Guan Renwang, not daring to be negligent, waved his hand and turned to leave.

At this moment, explosions sounded one after another.

Guan Renwang seemed to be at the center of a minefield.

In almost a blink, over half his men died, leaving only seven or eight alive.

At this, Guan Renwang was stunned.

Though skilled in martial arts, in such situations, he was blindfolded, unable to see his opponent. How could he fight?

”Se... Second Master, what is happening?”

”Is this a trap, with no treasure at all?”

”Should we continue or go back?”

The remaining men were all paralyzed with fear.

They dared neither to advance nor retreat, fearing desert wolves might return if they lingered.

If they did, these men could end up as fodder for the wolves.

”Ah! Second Master, snakes!”

Suddenly, amid the extreme tension, someone let out a terrified scream.

Guan Renwang turned his head and saw snakes crawling out from all around, too many to count, big ones around twenty centimeters and small ones just five or six centimeters, flicking their tongues, inching closer to them.

Guan Renwang felt his scalp tingle.

These snakes were clearly venomous; a bite could cost them half their lives.

Moreover, with so many of them, were they destined to die?

”Fire, right, use fire quickly!” Someone shouted, seemingly having an epiphany.

One pulled out a lighter, but it was useless.

The snakes showed no sign of fear, continuing to approach.

A snake suddenly leaped and bit one of the men.

His lips instantly turned purple, and he collapsed straight down.

Guan Renwang’s pupils contracted, swinging his large knife at the snakes.

Yet there were so many snakes that slashing seemed impossible.

Watching as his men were bitten and killed, Guan Renwang felt utterly hopeless.

”Who’s behind this! Show yourself if you dare!” Guan Renwang shouted hoarsely, but only screams and the sounds of snakes slithering responded.

Ye Guichen witnessed all of this, deeply shaken.

This had to be a super array, embedding venomous snakes and explosives, merging beasts and arrays into one.

Even Ye Guichen had never heard of such prowess.

”Could there be a hidden master here?”

Ye Guichen took a deep breath, realizing if he didn’t act, Guan Renwang might die.

Considering Guan Renwang’s ties with Kui Long, Ye Guichen couldn’t watch him being bitten to death by snakes.

Plus, Lu Dahu’s previous actions were peculiar; how did he pass through obstacles to reach outside the cave?

”Retreat!”

Ye Guichen rushed into the snake encirclement, stomping fiercely.

At once, the snakes recoiled rapidly as if frightened by something.

Guan Renwang snapped back to his senses, seeing the snakes retreat, and looked up to find a strange silhouette before him: ”Who are you?”

”I am Ye Guichen, Kui Long might have mentioned me to you.” Ye Guichen turned his gaze towards Guan Renwang.

Guan Renwang’s face was full of shock: ”Ye Guichen? How did you just drive those snakes away?”

Ye Guichen smiled lightly: ”The snakes fear me!”

”Fear you?” Guan Renwang obviously doubted: ”Are you kidding me?”

Ye Guichen shook his head: ”Not only do the snakes fear me, but all five poisons of the Witch God Sect do too! Is this really the time to argue over details?”

Upon hearing this, Guan Renwang shuddered involuntarily, ”Do you know what this place is?”
