She understood perfectly well why the Head of the Undead Race had taken that action. He was safeguarding her, driven by his concern that she might end up in a precarious situation. Given their current circumstances, encircled by threats, it was all too easy to run into trouble.

Nevertheless…

Her objective remained obtaining the One Origin Grass.

This man’s proposition aligned precisely with her intentions – she could be the one to make the selection first.

If she chanced upon the One Origin Grass, she could secure it directly.

Furthermore, their current situation was favorable, and the sheer number of people meant they could assemble a formidable team. This was far superior to the three of them facing the risks alone.

After weighing her options carefully, Gu Chaoyan promptly agreed.

Upon hearing her response, the Head of the Undead Race grew anxious. He stamped his feet and discreetly signaled Gu Chaoyan, urging her to exercise caution. This deal wasn’t as promising as it seemed.

Gu Chaoyan nodded, indicating her understanding.

“I’ll lead the way, and you and Di Hongyun needn’t expose yourselves to danger. Your safety is paramount,” Gu Chaoyan stated.

“I’ll accompany you,” Di Hongyun promptly declined her offer.

“I’ll join as well,” The Head of the Undead Race reluctantly agreed. Though he was not overly enthusiastic about the idea, he recognized the peril and knew his experience could be of some assistance.

Gu Chaoyan offered a brief smile and didn’t reject their willingness.

Instead, she turned around and pressed forward.

The door swung open, revealing an empty room. Its barrenness exceeded even that of their current quarters.

“Nothing? It can’t be dangerous, can it?” the Head of the Undead Race commented, a touch of relief in his tone.

Gu Chaoyan shook her head subtly – it was far from being that straightforward.

Suddenly, Gu Chaoyan caught a distinct scent and immediately shouted, “Cover your mouths and noses, don’t breathe!”

There was something amiss within.

Something amiss, and it wasn’t just one thing.

The room was saturated with toxic gas!

As the door swung open, the poisonous air began seeping into the room.

Though the toxicity was relatively low, the consequences could still be dire.

“Let’s move!” Gu Chaoyan commanded.

She hastily navigated through the room permeated with poisonous fumes.

Gu Chaoyan found relief as she entered the adjoining room and sealed the door behind her. She took a few deep breaths.

In that moment, several individuals began exhibiting peculiar behavior, collapsing outright.

Observing the scene, the Head of the Undead Race stepped forward and declared, “He’s dead!”

“They must have inhaled the poison,” Gu Chaoyan surmised.

Despite her warning, three individuals had still succumbed to the poison.

With that said, Gu Chaoyan didn’t dwell on the matter for long, though she couldn’t help but feel a sense of regret. It was apparent that their behavior had been influenced by the unseen threat.

At this point, Gu Chaoyan turned her attention to the room itself. It contained basic furnishings – tables, chairs, and tea sets that had seen prior use. There were still remnants of tea in the cups, as if someone had been residing here.

Indeed..

Who could possibly inhabit such a location?

Gu Chaoyan simply couldn’t fathom it.

And then..

A man emerged from behind a decorative screen. “Congratulations, you have successfully completed my evaluation.”

Evaluation?

The entire situation left those present bewildered.

What came next after the assessment? What was the purpose of it all?

“Who are you?”
