Chapter 812: Mission Completed
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Mr. Mc… Mr. McDonald, Yulian ordered this. It has nothing to do with us. Please let us go…” Timothy turned around and looked at Connor as he spoke to Connor with a trembling voice.
“I don’t know if this has anything to do with the three of you, but I know you have attacked me just now. Therefore, you three can’t leave yet…” Connor replied to Timothy.
“Mr. McDonald, how do you plan to deal with us?” Timothy hesitated before asking Connor softly.
Timothy knew that Connor did not want to kill them. After all, if Connor wanted to kill them, he would have done so long ago. There was no need for him to waste his breath on them.
“You three should be very familiar with the situation in the Precipice Cave, right?” Connor asked indifferently.
“Yes, yes!” Timothy nodded without thinking.
“How about this? You three bring us into the Precipice Cave. After I find the medicinal herbs, I will let the three of you leave…” Connor said softly.
After Timothy heard Connor’s offer, he heaved a sigh of relief and said excitedly, “Sure, Mr. McDonald, I’ll take you there now!”
Although Yulian was already unconscious, Connor knew there might still be hidden weapons or the like inside the Precipice Cave.
Ruby and the others had left long ago, and there was no one to scout ahead for Connor. Connor was worried that there would be danger inside.
The Jackman brothers had lived in the Precipice Cave before, so they were very familiar with the situation inside the cave. Letting these three people lead the way for Connor was the best choice.
Timothy found a few flashlights from the bodyguards’ corpses a moment later and brought Connor and the others into the Precipice Cave.
Reality proved that Connor had made the right decision to let the three Jackman brothers lead the way. There were indeed many traps in this cave. If Timothy did not know the exact location of the traps, even a god would probably die there.
Connor, Diana, and Carlos followed Timothy for about an hour before finally stopping in front of a stone door.
“Mr. McDonald, what you’re looking for should be here…”
Timothy turned and glanced at Connor as he spoke softly to Connor.
“How do you know?” Connor asked indifferently.
“The Jackman Family has always guarded the herbs in the Precipice Cave for generations. Previously, it had always been my master, Yulian, guarding it. If my master dies, it will be my turn to guard it. After so many years, I don’t know how many people have come for the herbs in this cave. However, in the end, they have also lost their lives because of the herbs in this cave…” Timothy explained slowly.
“I injured your master, and now I will take away the treasure the Jackman Family protects. Don’t you feel angry toward me?” Connor was stunned for a moment before asking Timothy in confusion.
Timothy smiled helplessly when he heard Connor’s question. Then, he said, “Mr. McDonald, if you take away the thing in there, it will be a relief for me. For so many years we have been guarding this cave for generations, which has caused us to have no way to leave this place. If this thing is gone, then we can leave…”
“Have you never thought of stealing the things inside and selling them?” Connor continued to ask.
“Haha…” When Timothy heard Connor’s question, he smiled faintly. He then said expressionlessly, “Mr. McDonald, although I, Timothy Jackman, am not considered a gentleman, I have once sworn before my ancestors that even if I die of poverty and hunger, I will not betray my sect!”
“I didn’t expect you to have such will!” Connor replied with a smile.
“I know we are not your match, Mr. McDonald. Since you defeated my master just now, you can take the things in there. After all, my master is already injured so badly. Even if you don’t take them, others will come and snatch them anyway…” Timothy sighed softly, then walked to a stone, turning it with force.
‘Rumble…’ The stone door slowly rose.
Timothy led Connor, Diana, and Carlos into the cave.
After entering the cave, Connor found that there were no rare treasures in the cave. On the contrary, the inside was no different from the outside, except for three herbs growing in the innermost part of the cave.
Moreover, there was a large hole where the three herbs were located. Sunlight could shine into the cave through the hole.
Connor hurriedly took out the note that Jorge had given him. The medicinal herb drawn on the note was one of the three. As for the other two medicinal herbs, Connor had never seen them before.
“Mr. McDonald, these three herbs are the Red Sun Ginseng, the Soul-calling Grass, and the Vermilion Sparrow Flower!” Timothy whispered to Connor.
“Red Sun Ginseng, Soul-calling Grass, and Vermilion Sparrow Flower!” After Diana heard the names of these three herbs, she was stunned and in disbelief.
Connor turned to look at Diana and asked softly, “You know these three herbs?”
“I’ve seen it in books before, but it’s said that these three medicinal herbs are all passed down from generation to generation. They don’t exist on Earth at all. I didn’t expect these three medicinal herbs to exist here…” Diana said in disbelief.
“These medicinal herbs are just something that ordinary people can’t find. If you can find Elixir Mountain, medicinal herbs like these can be found everywhere!” Timothy replied calmly.
“Elixir Mountain exists?” Diana was stunned for a moment before she frowned and asked Timothy.
“Elixir Mountain naturally exists. These three medicinal ingredients were taken from Elixir Mountain…” Timothy nodded lightly.
“Mr. McDonald, it would be great if we could find Elixir Mountain…” Diana said excitedly to Connor.
Connor wasn’t in the mood to care about Elixir Mountain. After all, he only wanted to find the herb that Jorge mentioned.
Connor knew that the herb Jorge was looking for was the Soul-calling Grass. The Red Sun Ginseng and the Vermilion Sparrow Flower were useless to Connor.
However, Diana said that the two herbs were very expensive and rare, so after thinking about it, Connor didn’t hesitate to let her take them all.
After obtaining the medicinal herbs, Connor’s mission could have been completed.
He asked Timothy and the others to take them out of the Precipice Cave and then prepare to return to the Medicine Kings’ Valley.
