Young Master Vance Has An Enchanting Wife!-Chapter 138: Poisonous Insect War

Just at this moment, the car suddenly stopped, and the policeman got out of the car and said to Vincent Vance, "Mr. Vance, we’ve arrived at the mountain you mentioned!"

Upon hearing this, Vincent opened the car door and got out, looking up at the sky. Tonight’s moonlight was especially bright, illuminating the mountain that would usually be shrouded in darkness as if it were daylight.

This mountain is the one where May Morgan was rescued, though Vincent didn’t think much about it then and took May away without considering searching the mountain later.

Melanie Morgan explained that halfway up the mountain, there is a house, where the old woman brought them to perform rituals on May. Later, the old woman disappeared there, so she believes the old woman will definitely return.

The car happened to stop in front of the house of the people who had helped save May. Vincent thought for a moment, then led his people to knock on the door of that house.

When the door was opened, the mistress of the house still remembered Vincent, because his nobility left a deep impression.

"Aren’t you the husband of the girl from last time? Why are you here so late?" The family invited the group inside and politely asked Vincent.

Vincent first thanked them and then explained, "Here’s the thing, my wife hasn’t been feeling well since she was kidnapped last time. The hospital can’t find anything wrong. I wanted to come and ask if someone poisoned her?"

The mistress of the house, known for her straightforwardness and honesty, was immediately startled upon hearing this: "Oh dear," she exclaimed, and then asked, "Was your wife poisoned by that old woman on the mountain? When I saw your wife coming down the mountain, I felt something was off."

The husband beside the woman cautiously nudged her and warned, "Don’t talk nonsense. Maybe this lady just caught a chill, so she’s feeling unwell?"

Indeed, the man was cautious, as the idea of poisonous insects, like ghosts and monsters, is hard for people to accept. The man spoke like that to be safe.

Vincent looked up at the man, and urgently said, "It’s not a chill. I’ve consulted many doctors, and they can’t find a problem. Perhaps your wife is correct. Maybe she was poisoned!"

Upon hearing this, the woman covered her mouth in surprise and asked Vincent, "You... do you believe I said she was poisoned?"

Vincent came precisely for this matter, so naturally, he didn’t evade the issue. Thus, he confidently nodded at her and said, "I believe you, which is why I wish to investigate who harmed my wife’s health."

"Oh dear, isn’t that obvious? It’s surely that old woman on the mountain. I’m telling you, she’s extremely eerie. We people living at the foot of the mountain never dare provoke her. Going up the mountain, we always avoid her peak because angering her might bring her vengeance upon us."

When mentioning the old woman, the woman also expressed a look of fear, seemingly eager to avoid her.

Vincent thought for a while, then pulled out a wallet and took out a few thousand dollars to hand to the man: "Brother, can I ask you to lead us up the mountain? Consider this money your trouble fee."

Mountain people don’t reap much harvest throughout the year, so Vincent handing several thousand bucks wasn’t considered little. But the man turned pale and dared not accept: "You better not go up the mountain, it’s useless. The woman is very capable, and she only poisons, not cures. Even if you find her, it’s pointless, might be more harmful."

Vincent frowned upon hearing this, and asked, "Then what should I do? I can’t just watch my wife dying day by day?"

The couple exchanged glances, then the wife somewhat compassionately told Vincent, "If you truly love your wife, you might try searching Mount Caelus, maybe you can save her!"

Mount Caelus? It seemed he had heard that name somewhere?

Vincent’s eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Where exactly is Mount Caelus?"

"This..." The woman hesitated and didn’t open her mouth.

Seeing this, Vincent placed the wad of money lightly on the table and promised, "Please tell me the exact location. After I find a way to save my wife, I will surely give more thanks."

"That’s unnecessary, that’s unnecessary, it’s not that we don’t want to tell you, but the location of Mount Caelus has always been very mysterious, we aren’t quite sure either."

The woman waved her hand while looking helplessly at her husband, cautiously asking him, "Didn’t you enter Mount Caelus once? Why not tell them?"

"I accidentally encountered Mount Caelus, but dared not enter. You know, that place is not where ordinary people can venture. Once..."

The man shook his head, feeling somewhat frightened, and said, "They say those who enter Mount Caelus barely make it out alive, I’m not taking that risk."

Vincent saw their serious expressions when speaking, not seeming like they were feigning mystery, and felt a sense of dismay. It seems this world is indeed full of wonders.

What should be done? To climb the mountain or not?

Just as he was worrying, the hunting dog in the yard suddenly started barking fiercely, sounding particularly distressing, as if it had seen something terrifying.

Vincent and the others exchanged looks, then all looked outside.

Because the moonlight outside was particularly bright, everyone could see what was happening in the courtyard through the glass.

The moonlight poured outside, illuminating the courtyard brightly, but the yard remained unchanged, clean and devoid of anything.

The homeowner glanced outside, felt some unease, and dared not step outside, instead shouted to the dog inside, "Goldie, what’s the matter? Stop barking!"

Usually, the family’s dog was very obedient, with one shout from the owner it would immediately stop moving, but now, the dog seemed to be deaf, not only not stopping its barking, but letting out a woeful cry, as if someone were painfully tormenting it.

The hunting dog’s heart-wrenching cries immediately raised tension in everyone indoors, with a more fearless policeman decisively loading his gun, intending to open the door and take a look.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to push open the door, Vinvent grabbed him by the arm.

"Don’t go out, look at the dog!"

In the moonlight, the dog first struggled painfully on the ground for a while, then its belly suddenly swelled up like an inflating balloon, until it expanded to the limit and suddenly went "bang," its abdomen burst open, followed by a swarm of dark objects crawling out of its opened belly.
