Chapter 130 is both good news and bad news.
Fortunately, Xia Gu did not see any trace of Xue Lan along the way, which was both bad news and good news.
Xia Gu, relying on the knowledge previously given by the system, offered advice and helped Xuan Li cope with various difficulties and obstacles.
After several days of arduous tracking, Xia Gu and Xuan Li finally discovered signs that Xue Lan was being held captive in a secluded valley.
Xia Gu saw Xue Lan's fur; only Xue Lan had such fluffy fur.
Then he saw the iron chain next to him, with a little blood on it.
Xia Gu frowned, seemingly not expecting to discover such a thing.
"So Xue Lan has really been imprisoned? What should we do?"
Xia Gu was very troubled and was particularly worried about this matter.
Moreover, all the signs have proven that Xue Lan has been kidnapped, and it is still unknown who the kidnapper is.
"Let's take a look around first. They've moved Xue Lan to a new location. I wonder where they took her."
"They should be nearby, because they were only briefly detained here. Their hideout must be nearby, and we need to find it quickly."
Xuan Li handled the problem calmly and clearly understood just how flustered Xia Gu was.
Therefore, I can only take on this responsibility so that Xia Gu can continue to be more rational.
The valley is surrounded by towering peaks, and there is only one narrow passage to enter it.
Sure enough, they saw the orcs moving around, and they quickly hid in a corner, carefully observing the situation.
"Do you even know who they are?" Xia Gu seemed to have never seen this group of orcs before.
Xia Gu didn't know if they were wandering beastmen from other places, but she couldn't understand why they kidnapped Xue Lan.
This is indeed a very strange matter, but now is not the time to think about it.
"We need to develop a thorough plan in order to infiltrate their ranks."
Enemy orcs patrolled back and forth at the entrance of the passage, armed and alert.
There were faint noises coming from inside the valley, suggesting that there were quite a few enemies.
Xia Gu looked very serious upon seeing these orcs, and wished he could kill them all.
However, if they alerted Xue Lan, it would only make Xue Lan's situation more dangerous, so Xia Gu held back.
"There must be many enemies inside; we need to enter in waves."
"Moreover, both you and I can change forms. We must observe carefully and change forms at any time so as not to attract their attention."
Xuan Li immediately looked at Xia Gu seriously and offered these suggestions.
Fortunately, Xia Gu already knew a lot about this and had used it many times before, so it wasn't a big deal for her.
“I can do it your way. I’ll change into whatever form you change it into. Wouldn’t that make it easier to observe?”
Xia Gu immediately said this, and Xuan Li nodded after hearing it, agreeing that Xia Gu's statement was correct.
Xia Gu and Xuan Li's group hid in a thicket outside the valley, carefully observing the enemy's situation.
Then Xia Gu and Xuan Li continuously changed their forms, using their human form's keen observation skills to analyze the enemy's patrol patterns.
He used his centaur-like farsightedness to survey the troop deployments inside the valley.
"It seems there are indeed many people inside, and Xue Lan must be in the deepest part of this lair."
Xuan Li was indeed very worried when faced with this situation.
If it really turns out like that, then everything will be an embarrassing phase.
Because they didn't know how many people were inside, or how to deploy their forces, they could only pretend to attract their attention and then cover their way in to observe.
But that would be too chaotic and easily discovered by others, giving them leverage to threaten us.
"Let's not go in. If we go in, we won't know what's going on inside. It seems like it won't be easy to explore the inside."
Eric also offered his opinion, stating that doing so was far too dangerous.
Moreover, it's simply not suitable for us to do this; we need to plan things out properly with them now.
But Xia Gu felt it was too long-winded and that they shouldn't give this group of enemies too much face.
"Shouldn't we just go in and fight them? Give them no time to react, and then we can achieve a real victory."
"Moreover, once Xue Lan is untied, he will definitely be able to join the war, which will increase our chances of winning. Shouldn't we do that?"
Xia Gu had no idea what they were still discussing. Now that Xue Lan was already in front of them, she couldn't just go in and confront them directly.
It seems a bit too pathetic, which is why Xia Gu is so angry now, not understanding how long they are going to drag this out.
Everyone else knows that Xia Gu is not very rational, which is why she said such a thing. This also shows how deep Xia Gu's feelings for Xue Lan are.
"Xiaxia, I know what you mean, and I understand that you want to go in and rescue Xuelan as soon as possible, but we have to protect ourselves first."
"If we really want to go straight in, we might have to change our form so that we can move around them without leaving any regrets."
Xuan Li had been considering this matter. In fact, Xia Gu said it was feasible, although it would be somewhat dangerous. However, given the current situation, it would be dangerous if they didn't continue their offensive.
Furthermore, I don't know if Xue Lan will suffer all sorts of grievances inside, so I am indeed a little worried about this aspect.
"Then let's do that quickly, and stop wasting time, okay?"
Xia Gu's words still carried great authority, and they wouldn't even bother to refute her.
Soon after, Xia Gu transformed into a full-fledged horse, ready to charge into battle at any moment.
Eric, meanwhile, silently calculated the number of enemies and the gaps in their defenses.
"I know the character of this group of wandering orcs very well. I've met too many wandering orcs before, so believe me, I can definitely help you."
Eric played his role to the fullest at this moment and did not disappoint them at all.
After all, Eric had spent far too long wandering in the wild. Xia Gu, standing to the side, immediately nodded, her eyes showing more approval as she looked at Eric.
With Eric by her side, Xia Gu really doesn't need to worry too much about these situations.
