According to the divine oracle that Gu Shibing saw, if he could obtain the guidance of a certain item in the dangers he was about to encounter, he would be able to turn the danger into safety.

And that thing is a bat.

Although it was very strange, Gu Shibing did not question the message he received from the gods.

The current situation is that, apart from Hongxiao and Muguang, who are unwilling to believe him and have an exceptionally arrogant temperament, everyone else has a bat.

Perhaps this is some kind of fate, so Gu Shibing did not intend to explain it further.

After they left the cave and walked for a while, a strange mist enveloped them.

Gu Shibing felt his senses were diminished, and he quickly lost track of Ye Nianzhen, let alone the others.

He walked silently out of the fog with a cold face, not hearing any other sounds, not even wails or cries.

He stood outside the fog for a moment, assuming the others would come out as well, but to his surprise, no one did.

Forget about Hong Xiaomu Guang, none of the other beastmen came out either. It didn't really matter to him, but Ye Nianzhen!

The person who possessed the aura of a saintess, the person he cared about deeply no matter what, did not appear!

Damn it, something must have gone wrong somewhere. He resolutely returned to the mist to search for Ye Nianzhen's figure.

He was holding the bat by the leash, but after taking a few steps, something snagged the leash.

Because he couldn't see clearly, he couldn't say what it was; it could be a tree branch or a stone.

But the situation was urgent, and he didn't have time to slowly find the source of the tangled thread and then untangle it.

So he gave it a hard tug, and the string snapped, and the bat flew away.

He is now in danger. The fog is all-pervasive, and his skin and facial features are stinging. It is easy to foresee that if this situation continues, the aggressive fog will enter his body, damage his internal organs, and eventually lead to his death.

No matter how strong the beastmen's bodies are, it's useless; the insides of living beings are fragile and soft.

So he didn't have much time left. He had to find Ye Nianzhen within the limited time and then get out together with the bat in her hand!

If Ye Nianzhen encounters any danger and is unable to leave temporarily, she will definitely need help!

Guided by an inexplicable connection with Ye Nianzhen, he found a direction and quickened his pace to walk towards it.

When he arrived there, he could vaguely see human figures on the ground. His heart tightened, and he rushed over immediately.

But what he saw made him feel terrible. Ye Nianzhen was actually holding Hong Xiao, who seemed to be unconscious, and he didn't know if she was crying or doing something.

"……What are you doing?"

He asked coldly.

Ye Nianzhen was startled, but also felt relieved. She quickly turned to Gu Shibing and said, "Quick, he's unconscious. I was just worried about not being able to move him. It's great that you're here!"

Her words seemed to welcome him, and he also noticed that there was no sadness on her face, which made him feel much better.

But why should he ride this leopard?

Although he didn't have any particular opinions about other people, he didn't really care about their lives or deaths either.

"You don't seem to have a very good relationship with this leopard, do you? Why did you save him?"

Gu Shibing asked.

Ye Nianzhen was taken aback. Why? Actually, she was also puzzled. Hong Xiao had always been at odds with her; they were very much at odds. Although this time he seemed to have lost his memory and was convinced that she was the Holy Maiden, and had been trying to curry favor with her, but…

To be honest, because of what happened in previous reincarnations, they had always been mortal enemies, and she really didn't want to pay any attention to him.

But surely it's not right to leave people here to die?

If they were enemies, she would kill him with her own hands, which is exactly what she did last time.

But since we've already killed him once, do we have to kill him a few more times to vent our anger?

Yeh Nien-chen believes this is a meaningless act and she would not do it.

"There's no particular reason, is there? Maybe it's instinct? Humans are just like that, we have a lot of empathy."

Ye Nianzhen made up some random things to appease Gu Shibing, then waved her hand and said, "If you really don't want to move, there's nothing I can do. It seems this is his fate?"

She stood up and nudged Hongxiao's shoulder with her toe: "Hey, you're still not awake and you're just left here? You'll die."

Gu Shibing found it extremely strange. Her behavior was seriously inconsistent. Did she want to save her or not?

In order to understand her true intentions, Gu Shibing actually bent down and carried the person on his back.

They're heavy. Those stupid leopard orcs are much heavier than our slender and graceful snake orc race!

Seeing that Gu Shibing was willing to help Hong Xiao, Ye Nianzhen was a little surprised, but her opinion of Gu Shibing changed somewhat. She shrugged: "Isn't this great? Mutual help is the best way to survive in this apocalypse."

Mutual help and support?

To live a better life?

Gu Shibing had also pondered the true meaning of the Holy Maiden to the Beastmen.

But now he seems to understand a little: if the beast race wants to survive better in this apocalypse, it needs someone like Ye Nianzhen who can unite them.

Therefore, his current choice to help these beastmen is an act of respect for the oracle.

He pursed his lips, carrying Hongxiao's heavy body, and followed the bat in Ye Nianzhen's hand, step by step, leaving the mist.

After he went outside, he found that everyone else had also gone outside.

Luo Shui was calling out to go back and find Ye Nianzhen, while Ming Yuan remained relatively calm. He said that if she didn't come out in a few more minutes, he would go back to avoid missing her.

Then they saw Ye Nianzhen come out safe and sound. Luo Shui rushed over happily, and Ming Yuan also looked relieved.

Qin Qiu carried Mu Guang on his back; he too had fallen unconscious.

Gu Shibing threw the red saltpeter on the ground, and the impact and pain from the fall brought the man back to his senses.

Upon seeing this, Qin Qiu raised an eyebrow and followed the same method, which woke Mu Guang up as well.

This team is a manifestation of Ye Nianzhen's ability to unite people.

Gu Shibing understood the significance of his arrival here, and the significance of Ye Nianzhen as a saintess to the beast race.

He also realized that this so-called fog was actually a trial.

Moreover, it wasn't a test for Ye Nianzhen or anyone else, but specifically a test for him.

He passed perfectly thanks to Ye Nianzhen's help.

As expected, Ye Nianzhen is the saintess he has been searching for, and no matter what others say, that will not change.

Even if the gods told him that Ye Nianzhen was not, he still firmly believed in his heart that she was the only true saintess.
