The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 226 - 225: Chu Han Joined the Team

How careless of me!

Upon hearing him mention a cage, Lin Yun silently interrupted his spellcasting.

We should leave a way out for others.

"Didn’t you say that Hidden Mist Village is a good place? Why do you call it a cage now?"

Lin Yun still harbored doubts about Chu Han, it was possible to seek help, but they had only just met. Lin Yun internally refused to seek assistance from such an unclear character.

However, to gain more information, he didn’t directly refuse but took the opportunity to draw out more details.

Chu Han, needing Lin Yun’s help, certainly didn’t dare to hide anything.

"Although Hidden Mist Village is good, ever since I can remember, I have only seen such a sky, always gray and murky, day in and day out, year in and year out. I was born to this sky, and I have grown weary of it."

Lin Yun nodded and said, "I understand you, if I had to breathe this haze every day, I’d crack up too."

This was an expression of empathy, bridging the relationship between them and indeed, Chu Han’s posture visibly relaxed a bit, feeling closer to Lin Yun thanks to his understanding.

"So, I long to leave. My grandfather was a foreigner who fell on hard times and came here. By a stroke of luck, he discovered the entrance to Hidden Mist Village and stayed. He told me that the outside world has blue skies, white clouds, and all things beautiful."

"Then why did your grandfather willingly stay in Hidden Mist Village?"

"I don’t know, he never told me. You outsiders could ask him, he might be willing to tell you. I’ll take you to see him, he would be delighted to see you."

"Let’s not hurry."

Lin Yun was somewhat worried it was a trap, even though Chu Han had so far acted normally, and his words withstood scrutiny. But someone like Lin Yun would never give his enemies the slightest chance.

Visiting Hidden Mist Village was possible, but they would wait until Bai Jiaojiao regained stronger combat power.

At that time, regardless of what conspiracies lay ahead, they could simply use force to break through.

"You came into this Great Mist to leave Hidden Mist Village, but now you’re going back. Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?"

"You misunderstand, there is no way out of here in the Great Mist. I only wanted to come out and hunt a Mist Beast. The Mist Beast will drop a Coded Scroll. Only the person with the scroll is allowed to go to Hidden Mist Village to challenge the Guardian left by the gods. Once successful, you can leave this place.

I thought I could set up some traps to kill a Mist Beast, but their strength exceeded my expectations. I almost lost my life, thankfully I met you."

Up to this point, Chu Han made everything clear. Lin Yun looked at him with admiration and said, "You’re really a brave young man. I happen to have some strength, why don’t we help you hunt the Mist Beast!"

"I could not ask for more, I’m in your debt..."

"No worries, we, the wanderers of the world, don’t fuss over formalities."

Lin Yun promptly interrupted his incantation, please no talk of repaying me, the last thing I want is for you to repay me with your body.

Offering to help Chu Han hunt the Mist Beast was not out of sheer goodness but to buy a day’s time for Bai Jiaojiao to recover, and it was also an opportunity to observe Chu Han.

Thus, Chu Han joined the team, and they all went to look for the Mist Beast to hunt. During this time, Chu Han also inquired about Lin Yun’s background.

Lin Yun casually fabricated several identities.

"My name is Yun Bai, and these are my sworn sisters, Lin Jiaojiao and Lin Qing’er..."

Lin Yun swapped his and Bai Jiaojiao’s surnames and did not reveal their true names; Bai Jiaojiao understood immediately.

Even though Xiao Qing called her not very bright, she was certainly not stupid.

Knowing that Lin Yun was not completely at ease with Chu Han, she opened her hands towards Lin Yun and said, "Brother, I’m tired, I can’t walk anymore."

She almost made Lin Yun’s heart melt, so he obediently carried her on his back, just like a father with his daughter.

Xiao Qing weakly pursed her lips, as long as the king was happy.

After a long search, the group finally brought down a large bird. Once it turned into mist, Lin Yun picked up the dropped items and observed them carefully for a while, realizing it didn’t look much like any treasure map.

According to Chu Han, this was a Coded Scroll.

Since it’s coded, that means it’s unreadable, right?

Generally speaking, such unreadable things should be kept for the future. Perhaps they’ll prove to be incredibly effective once they can be understood.

Lin Yun had seen this kind of plot many times before.

"I’ll hold on to it for you for now; let’s hunt two more Mist Beasts! My two sisters don’t have scrolls yet."

Chu Han had no objections, or perhaps he wasn’t so naive as to realize that raising objections now was futile. He simply chose to obediently follow along without dissent.

He was unaware that Lin Yun already had a scroll in hand. But if defeating Mist Beasts meant obtaining scrolls, then what if I kill all the Mist Beasts?

Moreover, he was very curious about these creatures that couldn’t be burnt by fire or destroyed by lightning, and would turn into mist and dissipate upon death.

It felt like he was playing an online game where monsters respawned automatically after being killed.

The only pity was that killing these monsters didn’t grant any experience points.

After a search, Lin Yun finally took another opportunity to eliminate a wild boar-shaped Mist Beast. This boar was rather dumb, and still, only Lin Yun took action while Xiao Qing supported from the side, and the others cheered on.

With instructions from Lin Yun, Bai Jiaojiao didn’t reveal any of her true strength. She acted like a mascot, and a well-behaved one at that.

Chu Han was aware that Lin Yun had killed a large snake, but he didn’t know that before that, Lin Yun had also killed two other Mist Beasts. Counting up, they were only short of one last scroll.

Perhaps excited by the prospect of leaving Hidden Mist Village soon, Chu Han was quite elated.

"Let’s go hunt the last Mist Beast!"

"Don’t rush, take it slow. Let’s rest up a bit, my True Qi is almost not keeping up."

The reason Lin Yun provided was very solid; after all, every time he killed a Mist Beast, it took a long struggle, relying purely on evasion and wearing down the monster’s health to death.

Throughout the battles, Lin Yun had always held back at least fifty percent of his strength, so it was only natural for him to suggest a rest at this point.

"Alright, then. I’ll stand guard for you guys."

"No need, we have enough people to keep watch, you rest easy."

Chu Han felt that Lin Yun didn’t yet trust him enough, but he didn’t insist on taking up the watch and instead leaned against a tree and began to sleep.

Whether he actually slept or just pretended to sleep, once he was no longer paying attention, Bai Jiaojiao said to Lin Yun, "Brother, give it to me, I can take more this time."

Lin Yun pinched her face with annoyance, "You better finish the last two words properly!"

Without adding "Spiritual Liquid," it just felt odd.

"No need to worry about these details, come on!"

Bai Jiaojiao lifted her head, and her large eyes also closed, with this face of soft cuteness begging for a kiss, Lin Yun truly found it hard to proceed.

But remembering the consequences of having Xiao Qing spit out Spiritual Liquid before, Lin Yun did not dare to let Xiao Qing do the task again, at least not within the Great Mist.

If that’s the case, then you can’t blame me now... *
