Chapter 180 This is the Valley of Withered Souls
"This... looks like a topographic map of Nanjiang!"
The person Gan Lin found was a middle-aged man with a thin stubble. After looking at the map for a while, he had an idea.
Hearing this, Jiang Si couldn't help but admire her own intelligence. She was simply a genius. Her thoughts were immediately opened up. Maybe she could find the treasure location quickly.
"Master Gan, can you tell where this place is?" Although Jiang Si couldn't understand the map, she could still understand the markings on the treasure location.
Looking in the direction of Jiang Si's finger, Master Gan frowned slightly and narrowed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long while, he seemed to suddenly understand.
Master Gan took a step back, raised his right foot and put it on the stool. Under the gaze of everyone, he lifted up his trouser leg and pulled out the thing tied to it.
He opened the lid of the cylinder and pulled out a cowhide map from it.
The map was not very big, and the patterns on it were so densely packed that not only Jiang Si, but even Fan Tong and the others were a little confused.
Master Gan spread his cowhide map on the table and compared it with the map that Fan Tong and the others had copied.
Jiang Si and others were waiting nearby, not daring to disturb him.
After about a quarter of an hour, Master Gan finally made some movement.
"Found it, right here!"
Hearing Master Gan's exclamation, everyone gathered around and looked at the place where he was pointing.
Looking at the place Master Gan pointed to on the densely packed map, everyone gasped.
Why? Because the symbol painted there is a skull.
"This... what is this place?" Zhang Xiaoxi asked with a trembling voice. This place with a skull painted on it didn't look like a good place!
When Master Gan heard her question, he slowly straightened up and his expression gradually became solemn.
“This is the Valley of Withered Souls!”
"what?"
Hearing Master Gan's answer, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Young Master, you are absolutely right. The place marked on this map is the Valley of Withered Souls." Master Gan looked at Jiang Si and answered again with certainty.
Hearing this affirmative answer, all kinds of thoughts began to fly in everyone's minds.
"Could this be a trap set by the Nanjiang royal family, with the sole purpose of luring those who covet the treasure there to die?"
Ye Zhiming rubbed his nose, frowned, looked at everyone and said.
"Treasure?"
Before anyone could reply, Master Gan exclaimed in surprise. His gaze returned to the two maps, as if he wanted to confirm whether he had seen it wrong.
Seeing Master Gan's serious expression, Jiang Si took out a dagger from the space, and her eyes gradually became complicated.
She stared at Master Gan's back, and his entire appearance seemed to have changed overnight.
The chilly aura that emanated from Jiang Si's body made everyone shiver.
Just as she took a step forward and approached Master Gan, a figure flashed out from the side and knelt in front of her.
"Young Master, this is my father. We swear to heaven that we will never reveal a single word of what we saw today."
Gan Lin knelt on the ground and looked up at Jiang Si. His eyes were extremely firm, but also contained a hint of pleading.
The movement of the two people immediately attracted the attention of others, and everyone looked in the direction of Jiang Si.
Especially Master Gan, who was concentrating on studying the map. When he saw his son kneeling in front of Jiang Si, he immediately rushed over, knelt side by side with his son, and stretched out one hand to protect Gan Lin behind him.
"Young Master, my son can't understand my map. I can mark the route to the treasure for you. I hope you can show mercy and spare my life and let Gan Lin go."
"Father, no, I will not watch you die. If the young master wants to kill me, then we can be executed together."
Gan Lin held his father's arm that was blocking him with both hands and spoke very firmly.
Seeing the father and son pushing each other, Fan Tong and others felt sympathy.
"Wife, they won't leak the secret. Even if they do, no one will believe it. How many living people dare to go to that place?"
Fan Tong took a few steps forward, stood in front of Gan Lin and his son, and admonished them with a smile.
"I don't think the father and son are bad people, so we can spare their lives for now. What's more, this master knows the terrain better than us, so he will be a help to us." Ye Zhiming also came forward and said to Jiang Si.
"After all, he is loyal to you, so don't kill him. You are being too cruel." Zhang Xiaoxi also spoke, still not forgetting to complain.
In fact, Jiang Si had already put away the knife before they opened their mouths.
Looking at their appearances, Jiang Si snorted coldly and turned around.
Looking at how anxious they were, it was as if they were some unforgivable evildoers.
"Wife, there are many ways to control them. Killing them is not necessarily the only solution."
Fan Tong knew a lot about Jiang Si's past, and could actually understand her behavior of clearing away everything that would hinder the people in front of her.
He understood that she had lived in a place full of demons since she was a child, and the best and easiest solution for her was killing.
But he could see that Gan Lin and his son were not evil people, so he didn't want Jiang Si's hands to be stained with blood.
"You can take one of them with you, or you can have Xiaoyuan feed them two poisons and give them the antidote regularly until we get the treasure."
Fan Tong put one hand on Jiang Si's shoulders and gave her advice in her ear.
Gan Lin and his son, who were kneeling behind him, looked at the tall figure and heard what he said.
At this moment, their hearts were filled with gratitude towards this son-in-law.
Jiang Si punched Fan Tong and rolled her eyes at him. "Why, do I look stupid? Do you still need to remind me of these most basic ways to control people?"
Hearing Jiang Si's words, Fan Tong covered the shoulder that was punched by Jiang Si, smiled gently, and gave her a way out.
"Yes, I am the one who talked too much. My wife is the smartest, most beautiful, wise and generous person in the world."
Hearing what came out of Fan Tong's mouth, Jiang Si knew that he was trying to coax her, but who doesn't like to hear nice words?
She pushed Fan Tong away, looked at the father and son kneeling on the ground and said, "Okay, get up."
Hearing Jiang Si's words, both the father and son breathed a sigh of relief. Gan Lin supported Master Gan and tried to help him up.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he used force with his hands, he was slapped hard by his father.
Master Gan glared at his son with dissatisfaction, then shook off his hand, pressed his head, and kowtowed to Jiang Si.
"Thank you for not killing me, young master."
Looking at the Gan family father and son who kowtowed to her respectfully, Jiang Si dodged to the side.
"You kowtow to me at such an old age, are you deliberately shortening my life or are you thanking me?"
Listening to Jiang Si's mumbling, Gan Lin and his son raised their heads and looked at her. Just as they were about to say something, they saw Fan Tong waving at them, so they both tactfully shut up.
Fan Tong looked at Jiang Si tenderly, reached out and held her hand, gently squeezing her palm.
This girl is always harsh with her words and always shows her aggressive side to others. In fact, she doesn't know how cute she is like this.
