Chapter 3818: Splitting into Two Paths?

In the beginning, Gong Ze had never imagined that when their group came to the Ancient Cold River, they would actually encounter the natives of the Ancient Cold River…

For Gong Ze, this was a great opportunity.

These natives living in the Ancient Cold River likely knew about the billion-year ice ginseng.

Asking them about the billion-year ice ginseng could save a lot of trouble…

Moreover, Gong Ze was well aware that if they continued to search blindly, the chances of finding the billion-year ice ginseng were slim…

Furthermore, they couldn't hold out much longer. Once Xiao Fan could no longer maintain the Fire-Attribute Cultivation Technique, they would have to leave the Ancient Cold River; otherwise, they might all lose their lives here.

Gong Ze hadn't underestimated the Ancient Cold River before, but having come here in person, he finally felt what terror meant.

"Gong Ze, you decide this… Whatever decision you make, I will support it," Xiao Fan said in a deep voice.

"Gong Ze, you decide. Everyone is doing this to help you, so you say what should be done," Yuan Yanbin said indifferently.

"This… how about… we split into two paths, what do you think?" Gong Ze hesitated and spoke in a deep voice.

"Split into two paths?"

"What do you mean?!"

Gong Ze exhaled and said solemnly, "This matter started because of me, so I must go. Those who want to go see the natives, follow me. Those who don't want to go, stay here… Once we have information, we'll come back and regroup with you. If there's danger, there will be someone to send word and find a way to save us."

Hearing this, everyone nodded one after another.

Gong Ze's proposal was very good.

Actually, Xiao Fan had thought the same, but it wasn't convenient for him to suggest it.

However, Yuan Yanbin and the others who had just agreed to see the natives now showed looks of hesitation.

They knew that if they went to see the natives and there was danger, they would be the ones in peril…

If there was no danger, then naturally, that would be for the best!

On the other hand, those who stayed behind would be the safest.

"That… maybe I won't go," Yuan Yanbin thought for a moment and gave an awkward smile.

Seeing Yuan Yanbin speak up, Zhong Xia and the others also wavered, none of them wanting to follow Gong Ze.

Xiao Fan frowned, not expecting these people to be so fickle…

"You… acting like this, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning? Huh!" Yan Si put her hands on her hips and spoke angrily.

Hearing this, the expressions of Yuan Yanbin, Zhong Xia, Kuang Yixuan, and Cui Xiuwen turned very ugly.

If Xiao Fan had spoken, they might have dared to retort… but as for Yan Si, they'd better forget it.

"Um… everyone, don't argue. Actually, it's the same if I go by myself," Gong Ze scratched his head awkwardly.

"Look… even Gong Ze said so!" Yuan Yanbin said indifferently.

"Hehehe… just now you said you'd go, and now you say you won't? Yuan Yanbin, if you're not going, then get lost. Don't warm yourself here with me…" Xiao Fan suddenly sneered.

Yuan Yanbin: "…"

"You… Bufan, don't go too far!" Yuan Yanbin shouted angrily.

The current temperature of the Ancient Cold River was dozens of times colder than when they first entered.

Yuan Yanbin knew very well that if he couldn't use the Chixiao Demon Flame to keep warm, he wouldn't last long.

"Hehehe… too far? You were being fickle just now, isn't that going too far?" Xiao Fan said coldly.

Hearing this, Yuan Yanbin's face turned ashen.

Not only Yuan Yanbin, but Zhong Xia, Cui Xiuwen, and Kuang Yixuan beside him were the same.

Xiao Fan didn't mention Cui Xiuwen and the others by name, but his words were a veiled warning to them as well.

Hearing this, Cui Xiuwen hesitated, and they all spoke up, saying they were willing to go with Gong Ze.

Seeing this, Yuan Yanbin, now left alone, felt it was better to go with Gong Ze.

"I'll go too!" Yuan Yanbin gritted his teeth.

He loathed Xiao Fan in his heart, but in a place like the Ancient Cold River, he felt it was better not to offend him.

"Thank you, thank you… I, Gong Ze, will surely repay you handsomely in the future!" Gong Ze cupped his fists toward Yuan Yanbin and the others, then cast a grateful look at Xiao Fan.

"Brother Bufan, we'll head over first… It's best if there's no danger, but if there is… please act according to the situation then," Gong Ze exhaled and smiled.

If his Foundation remained ruined forever, Gong Ze would rather die…

"Alright," Xiao Fan nodded.

With that, Gong Ze flew toward the natives ahead along with Yuan Yanbin, Zhong Xia, Cui Xiuwen, and Kuang Yixuan.

At this moment, only Xiao Fan, Yan Si, and Wan Xuefeng remained nearby.

"Brother Bufan, do you think those natives are dangerous?" Wan Xuefeng looked at Xiao Fan.

"Dangerous…" Xiao Fan nodded heavily.

"Then if they go over there…?" Wan Xuefeng showed a look of concern.

"Hehehe… besides that, is there any other way?"
