Chapter 380
Chapter 380: Blind
Bai Luochu entered the room and closed the door without saying anything . Seeing that there was no further movement coming from Bai Luochu’s room, Pei Rumo left .
After Bai Luochu completed her cultivation session the next morning, she prepared her equipment and waited for Pei Rumo’s call .
By the time the two of them had arrived at the ruins, the sun was hanging high in the sky .
“Let’s complete our investigation as soon as possible . ” Pei Rumo suggested and took a step forward .
However, Bai Luochu blocked Pei Rumo before he could walk any further, “I’m afraid that there will be a ton of traps in the ruins . It will be better for me to lead the way . ”
“How can I let a lady stand in front of me? You should just follow behind me . ” Pei Rumo disagreed with Bai Luochu and walked ahead .
“Now is not the time to fight with one another . Furthermore, there’s no difference between a male and a female in the military . Since I’m better at this, I shall take the lead . ”
Without a choice, Pei Rumo obediently followed behind Bai Luochu .
When they entered the ruins, Bai Luochu cut off a small piece of the pillar supporting the structure and weighed it in her hand . She passed it to Pei Rumo, “Look at the material used to build the pillar . Most of the structures in the Cloud Water Nation are made from wood . However, this is made from stone .
Pei Rumo received the piece of rock in Bai Luochu’s hand and discovered that she was right . The pillar was made from stone . “This doesn’t seem to be a peaceful place . ”
“Exactly . That’s not all, take a look at this . ” Bai Luochu pointed to a brick wall on the other side .
Pei Rumo felt slightly embarrassed . They were behaving like thieves instead of investigators . No, that wasn’t right . After such a long time and the numerous people buried in the ruins, they should be called grave-robbers instead .
Bai Luochu twirled the brick she had sliced off and raised it in front of Pei Rumo, “Take a look at this brick, it’s actually made of rare earth forged in a kiln!”
Pei Rumo didn’t know why Bai Luochu was so knowledgeable and since he knew nothing at all, he nodded and agreed with whatever she said .

The two of them proceeded deeper into the ruins and they eventually ran into a spacious and empty room . Feeling that something wasn’t right, Bai Luochu stopped Pei Rumo from proceeding further .
“What’s wrong?”
“This is the only road that leads to the outside world . With so much space, there are probably many traps here . Wait for me to disable them before doing anything else . ” But before she was able to start, she was stopped by Pei Rumo .
“Wait, let’s go together instead . ” Pei Rumo then grabbed Bai Luochu’s hand and refused to let go . Seeing that he was not going to let go no matter what, Bai Luochu had no choice but to disarm the traps together with Pei Rumo .
After Bai Luochu had examined the area, she discovered that there weren't any traps around . She muttered to herself, “That’s strange, there are definitely traps here . ”
“You’re overthinking . Let’s go . ” Before Bai Luochu had a chance to reply, Pei Rumo had already walked forward . As soon as he stepped into the corridor, Bai Luochu heard a ‘kacha’, and arrows started flying . Bai Luochu yelled, “Pei Rumo! Be careful!”
After hearing the warning, Pei Rumo immediately drew his sword and turned around . He barely managed to repel all the arrows flying at him .
As Bai Luochu was standing far away from the exit, she wasn’t affected by the rain of arrows .

“This trap is so ingenious!” Pei Rumo can’t help but to sigh .
Bai Luochu didn’t expect there to be traps assaulting those who were about to leave . However, when she thought about it, it made sense . Those intruders would usually let down their guards before leaving and if she failed to remain alert, Pei Rumo would have died .
The further they walked, the more traps they faced . Bai Luochu systematically disarmed them all .
When they finally arrived at the end of the passageway, Bai Luochu felt a strange eerie feeling . Ordering Pei Rumo to stand to the side, she started disarming the traps .
“I’m done . ” After Bai Luochu was done, she pushed the door open . The second she touched the door, a purple vapor shot out from the cracks . As it was too quick, Bai Luochu wasn’t able to react in time and the purple vapor entered her eyes .
“Ahhhhh!” Bai Luochu cried out painfully and she stumbled backwards .
Before Pei Rumo could react, Bai Luochu was already covering her face and crouching on the ground .

“Luo Chu! Are you okay?!” Pei Rumo rushed forward to support her . He tried to access the situation in case they were hit by any more traps .
Bai Luochu felt her eyes throbbing in pain . After a long while, the pain subsided and she lowered her hands .
“Pei Rumo, did the ruins collapse?”
“Luo Chu, how many fingers am I holding up?” Pei Rumo was in a state of denial as he raised his hand towards her face .
Seeing that Pei Rumo could ask her that question, it was evident that the darkness before her wasn’t because of the collapsed ruins . Don’t tell me… “Pei Rumo, did I go blind?!”
Pei Rumo squeezed his eyes shut . His voice trembled as he replied, “Luo Chu, calm down . There is a physician going by the name of Ghost Doctor in the Desolate Region and I will definitely ask him to save you . Even if I have to beg him, I will make sure your eyes are healed . Let me bring you back to the inn first . ”
Pei Rumo carried Bai Luochu on his shoulders and charged out of the ruins . He placed her on the back of his horse before getting on . After making sure that she wasn’t going to fall off, he charged towards the inn at full speed .
As he thundered across the Desolate Region, he left a trail of dust in his wake .
