Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 318 - 314: The Disappearance of Zhang Shanni 2

——————

Feeling the direction of the Spirit Lord?

Isn’t that quite easy? Tao Nu thought to himself, but clearly, the spiritual power of the human before him was far too insignificant compared to the Spirit Lord.

Different species, naturally it’s hard to communicate! So, how could it hint to him?

No other way, Tao Nu extended one of its flower petals in front of Xie Jingchen, who seemed startled, then raised his hand, unsure whether to break the flower branch or to pluck the flower, when suddenly one of the petals fell right in front of him, motionless.

A completely supernatural phenomenon!

Xie Jingchen immediately reacted, spreading out his palm to catch it, only to find that the petal did not fall into his palm, but was floating above it, and the petal, as if saying hello, gave a gentle shake, pointing in a certain direction with a slight sway.

"Are you saying that the petal will guide me in the direction?" Xie Jingchen looked up at the Holy Peach Tree.

Unexpectedly, the flower branch right before his eyes nodded up and down as if nodding!

It’s so, so mystical!

But Xie Jingchen had no time to care about this supernatural occurrence in front of him, he immediately nodded: "Thank you, I will go rescue her, I’ll bring you water when I come back!"

With that, Xie Jingchen turned and strode away. The old peach tree didn’t see him saying this, but it shook with joy, causing peach blossom petals to dance elegantly all over the sky.

Xie Jingchen briefed his men, then took the lead in driving a Military Car, placing the petal on his steering wheel. The petal seemed to discern the direction, rotating 360 degrees to point in one direction, then gently shook once.

Xie Jingchen immediately drove off, accelerating at full force, rushing forward.

The Rong trucks behind saw their leader forbidding anyone to follow his car, yet he was darting ahead as if he knew exactly where his wife was.

No matter, following the lead was never wrong.

Xie Jingchen drove at breakneck speed, not caring whether the Military Cars behind could keep up with his pace; his heart was filled with anxiety. It had already been six hours since his wife went missing, and he had been driving at full speed for nearly two hours now, yet he still hadn’t arrived.

However, as he gradually saw the peach blossom petals on the roadside, he knew clearly that he was going in the right direction!

These petals are from Tao Nu!

Most importantly, where are there peach trees in this area?!

His wife had collected a heap of fallen petals from the peach blossom tree enriched by the Superpower Water upon Tao Nu’s tree into her Space—he had seen it with his own eyes!

He was certain because he had seen it happen before his very eyes. Now seeing these peach blossom petals, he knew he was on the right track!

Xie Jingchen’s anxiety was not misplaced, Zhang Shanni’s situation was indeed precarious.

She was currently being taken by Ji Rongwei, enduring an arduously long car ride of nearly four hours to the foot of a mountain, where she was shoved out of the vehicle.

Her actions were rough, nearly causing her to stumble and fall.

Knowing her own physical condition, having been tossed about by the steep mountain roads, she couldn’t withstand such rough treatment anymore. Therefore, without any resistance, she instead spoke gently:

"Ji Rongwei, don’t push me, I will try to keep up with your pace."

"Madam Xie, you better cooperate properly. Otherwise, the baby in your belly might not survive," Ji Xun looked pitifully at Zhang Shanni’s swollen belly and pretended to be caring as he said.

Although he had been in the military for more than two, nearly three years, his nature wasn’t something that could change just because he said it would. To put it bluntly, he was a desperado, with a cold heart, not inclined to change his callous attitude simply because the other person was a pregnant woman.

Seeing Zhang Shanni’s unpleasant face, he felt no sympathy whatsoever.

Zhang Shanni, with her arm gripped by him, walked briskly on the mountain path, her heart beginning to worry, and as the mountain path grew more and more secluded, her inner anxiety and urgency increased, especially when she gradually felt an intense pain in her belly.

To mitigate the harm, she gritted her teeth and remained silent, occasionally pretending to cover her mouth in fear to sneak a few sips of Spirit Core Water for herself.

In order to avoid the wild and venomous creatures in the mountains, she had to exert spiritual power to observe her surroundings, fearing a venomous snake might strike. She was not worried about harming the man beside her, but rather that she herself would be bitten.

In the southern regions, mountainous areas abound with wild snakes, especially now, as spring arrived and countless snakes awoke from hibernation...

Yet, because of her special condition of being pregnant, she had not administered the precious Antidote to herself.

Climbing up the winding mountain path was like stepping into a snake’s nest every few paces. All she wore were simple homemade cloth shoes and a long maternity dress, offering virtually no protection!

Even the extra coat she had worn because she had left early in the morning was now damp with dew from the leaves, and her dress was uncomfortable with grass seeds and thorns from the underbrush sticking to it.

But these were not what troubled Zhang Shanni the most.

What really saddened her was that her spiritual power was focused so intently that even with continuous replenishment from the Spirit Core Water, the pain in her abdomen from pregnancy was becoming increasingly severe!

Even the occasional twitching of her little feet was very distressing, causing involuntary tears at the corners of her dry eyes as she continuously called out for her man in her heart.

Fortunately, after nearly two hours, Zhang Shanni was finally brought to a cave by the other party.

However, as soon as she reached the entrance of the cave, she was shoved violently. In order to maintain her balance, she stumbled a couple of steps before stabilizing herself, and at the same time, she was pushed into the cave.

And as she braced herself against the rugged cave wall to stabilize her form, her arms were cut by the uneven surface, filling the air with the stench of blood in an instant.

"Hisss! You!" Just as Zhang Shanni wanted to curse in retaliation, she found that the person took advantage of her distraction and pressed something fiercely. Immediately, there were a series of ’boom’ sounds, and an iron screen door appeared at the entrance of the cave!

Only a small window the size of an A4 paper was barred with a few thin iron bars, sealing off the entire cave entrance completely.

"Ji Xun, what are you doing?" Zhang Shanni enveloped him in her spiritual power and ’saw’ him take out a padlock and key from his pocket, lock the iron door, and then stuff the key into his trouser pocket.

"Madam Xie, stay put in the cave. There’s water there, but no way to provide food. Now it all depends on Mr. Xie Rongwei’s skills. Alright, I’m leaving now, farewell forever, see ya!"

After bringing her to the designated spot, Ji Xun surveyed the surroundings and coldly chuckled upon seeing several peach blossom petals in the distance. Indeed, she was Xie Jingchen’s wife—leaving signals was a clever move!

He hadn’t expected Zhang Shanni to be so vigilant! He hadn’t noticed when she had made her move.

It seemed that Xie Jingchen’s arrival would be much sooner than expected.

Ji Xun didn’t dare to hesitate any longer. While he picked up the visible petals, he retreated from another part of the mountain.

As he was quickly exiting the mountain, he clearly saw a military car charging into the base of the mountain.

Getting out of the car was Xie Jingchen himself.

Even from a distance, Ji Xun, having fought with Xie Jingchen, knew very well the King Rong’s abilities and felt a tightening in his chest.

What a ruinous woman!

Ji Xun cursed silently, careful not to raise suspicion and kept quiet.

Then, as if he remembered something, he took out the petals and placed them by the cliff on the other side—he wanted to see if Xie Jingchen had the capability to descend into the abyss!

After ensuring that Xie Jingchen wouldn’t discover the concealed cave in another mountain range for a while, he quickly left the spot.

He was curious whether Xie Jingchen would jump off the cliff, but knowing Xie Jingchen’s formidable abilities, if he wanted to save his own life, he had to leave quickly.

Especially since he had already seen several military trucks following behind the car!

Tsk, any later and he’d be caught by the military!
