Chapter 58 It turns out to be the famous Sister Baoer
As the treasure-hunting group became hysterical, other members of the group also began to complain:
"That's right, we definitely can't beat him!"
"This person's methods are so mysterious! Maybe he's some powerful and extraordinary person!"
"If you do something knowing it's impossible, you're a fool!"
"Yeah, at worst we can look for other targets, that way we still have a chance of survival!"
The members of the treasure-hunting group were talking at once, and the leader of the group couldn't help but waver.
He stamped his feet angrily and said viciously:
"You guys are right! There's no need to hang yourself on a tree!
This idea is too tough, we are no match for them, let's find another target!"
After saying that, the group of treasure thieves fled in a very ferocious manner.
Logically speaking, fierce should not be used as an adjective to describe escape.
But in the current situation, it is indeed very appropriate.
When this group of treasure-stealing people left, they were indeed very ferocious, and their desperate spirit was really frightening.
Gu Chen was confused by this situation.
What is this mess?
No one knows where the treasure-stealing group came from. They didn't come to rob money but to rob people. They looked fierce and desperate, but after hitting a wall, they knew to look for weak targets.
There's something wrong with this group of treasure thieves.
The more Gu Chen thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong with them.
After they ran away, Gu Chen looked at the bonfire in front of him and spoke calmly again:
"There's obviously something wrong with this group of treasure thieves.
I wonder what your opinion is?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure flipped over and fell from the broken wall on the other side, approaching Gu Chen's camp, but not too close to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen glanced over there.
She is also a member of the treasure-stealing group and a hooded woman.
The female treasure-stealing group took two steps towards this side and then stopped moving forward.
Gu Chen took a quick look and felt slightly satisfied.
This distance... didn't enter her camp, but at the same time she could leave some space to defend herself. It was a distance that made both of them feel at ease.
Through this action of this female treasure-stealing group, we can also see that she is different from the previous treasure-stealing groups and she has no malicious intentions.
Well, at least not yet.
Looking at her quietly, Gu Chen stirred the bonfire with a branch:
"This girl from the treasure-stealing group doesn't seem to be in the same group as those guys just now. I wonder what your purpose is in coming here?"
The female treasure thieves stood there, she was serious and cautious:
“Your Excellency has a good ear.
It was surprising enough to hear that group of people sneaking up on us.
He could even hear me hiding nearby, which is something not everyone can do."
Gu Chen's tone was still calm:
“You’re too kind, girl.
When you're out and about, you always need something to rely on, right?
And girl, you haven’t answered my question yet.”
The female treasure thieves gently stroked their chests:
"Sorry, I'm just trying to show my sincerity.
Your Excellency, you were actually wrong. I am indeed in the same group as those treasure-stealing gangs. They are considered my subordinates."
Gu Chen was really a little stunned.
Good heavens, he really made a wrong judgment?
Is this female treasure-stealing group really the same as the previous ones? Is the female treasure-stealing group the boss of those treasure-stealing groups?
So what kind of play are you guys playing?
What’s the matter? Your men couldn’t deal with me and ran away, and now you, the boss, come out to apologize?
No, there must be something behind this.
With a slight sigh, Gu Chen threw the branch in his hand into the campfire, and he finally stood up.
After standing up, he came to the female treasure thieves:
"I have a feeling that I'm going to get involved in some trouble again.
But since you didn't attack me actively and seemed to have parted ways with your men, there must be a reason.
Could it be that you are here to ask me for help?"
The female treasure thieves nodded seriously, their eyes sincere:
"good.
Your Excellency is extremely capable. I am now almost at my wit's end. I happened to meet someone like you, so I wanted to come and ask for help.
As long as you are willing to lend a hand, I will offer you a lot of rewards afterwards."
"So many rewards..."
Gu Chen was thoughtful:
“I don’t mind making a little more money, and my partners probably won’t mind either.
But at least you have to tell me who you are. I don’t like working with people who hide their identities.”
With a deep sigh, the female treasure-stealing member replied wearily:
“Your Excellency is right, I should indeed be the first to identify myself.
To be honest with you, my name is Baoer, and I have a certain level of experience and status in the treasure-stealing group.
Everyone on the Liyue Road calls me Sister Baoer, you can just call me Baoer."
"Sister Bao'er?"
Gu Chen was surprised again.
Sister Baoer noticed Gu Chen's surprise and she was a little confused:
"Have you heard of my name?"
Gu Chen's expression was quite complicated:
“It can be said that… I have heard of your great name for a long time.
I heard that you and your men have been robbing tombs and trafficking in cultural relics in the Guiliyuan area."
Sister Baoer smiled bitterly:
"Your Excellency understands me."
When she looked at Gu Chen again, Sister Baoer found that Gu Chen didn't say anything, and there was not much gentleness in his eyes.
When she met those eyes, Sister Baoer felt subconsciously a little scared.
She quickly became honest and explained the whole process:
“Yes…that’s right.
Originally this morning, my brothers and I were still carrying out our daily work in the Guiliyuan area.
While we were working, a man dressed in Sumeru costume came over and started introducing a big business to us.
When something is out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong. Who in their right mind would take the initiative to find our treasure-hunting team?
So we were all a little wary.
However, the brothers hadn't had a good meal for several days, and they were inevitably curious about the big business he mentioned, so we tentatively went with this Xumi man.
This Xumi man brought us into a ruin.
As soon as we entered the ruins, he showed his vicious side and drugged us.
We don't know what medicine it is.
However, according to the Xumi man, it is a secret medicine that causes extreme pain and bleeding from all seven orifices, and he is the only one who has the antidote.
If we don't follow his instructions next, he won't give us the antidote and will watch us die from the poison.
In order to prove what he said was true, he used some unknown means to make the drug take effect on the spot!
Sure enough, when the drug took effect, all my brothers fell to the ground in agony.
It was obvious that they were suffering greatly from the effects of the drugs.
If I continue to be tortured like that, I don’t know if I’ll bleed from all seven orifices, but it will definitely be worse than death.”
Hearing this, Gu Chen interrupted:
"What about you? You didn't get poisoned?"
Having said that, Sister Baoer gritted her teeth and further told the truth:
“I’m definitely not poisoned.
Because... during a previous exploration of other ruins on Guiliyuan, I accidentally obtained a treasure.
As long as I carry this treasure with me, I will be immune to all poisons, and I will be basically invulnerable to all poisons."
Gu Chen didn't say anything, but just stretched out his hand towards Sister Baoer, motioning her to take out the treasure to prove it first.
