After leaving the cave, He Xie immediately returned to the swamp by the same route.

At this time, everyone was still fast asleep.

There was no sign of him waking up.

Even the safety officers were no exception.

It's easy to imagine how potent the flower poison released by that fox spirit must have been.

He Xie took the antidote and went to Lin Chuchu.

However, instead of feeding her immediately, he uncorked the bottle and poured a little into his own mouth.

It's sweet and delicious.

It tastes great.

He Xie sat down quietly to check if there was anything unusual about his body.

But soon enough, he raised his hand and slapped himself on the head.

With such high poison resistance, even if the antidote is poisonous, it won't harm me.

Forget it, I'll trust the effects of the bloodline enslavement and the black collar.

With the effects of these two props, the fox spirit shouldn't have been able to play any tricks at that time.

Thinking it over, He Xie reached out and pried open Lin Chuchu's cherry lips, then brought the bottle to her mouth and fed her the antidote.

"He Xie, what's wrong with me?"

Lin Chuchu woke up, looking at He Xie with a dazed expression and confusion.

He Xie ignored her and gave the remaining antidote to Zhang Kaizi, who was standing nearby.

Then, Zhang Kaizi also woke up.

This guy woke up looking wide awake and immediately yelled, "Holy crap, He Xie, what just happened to me?"

He Xie explained, "You two were both poisoned by the flower and have passed out."

After saying that, he put the remaining antidote into his system inventory, showing no intention of giving it to anyone else.

"What's wrong with An Ruoli?"

Zhang Kaizi noticed An Ruoli standing motionless to the side and couldn't help but ask with a puzzled look.

Hearing this, Lin Chuchu looked at An Ruoli and saw her blank expression. She asked with a puzzled look, "Why does she look like she's gone mad?"

"She's under an illusion spell, but she'll probably break free on her own soon, so we don't need to worry about her."

After saying that, He Xie walked up to Lin Chuchu, turned around and carried her on his back, saying, "Get on, I'll carry you."

"Um."

Lin Chuchu responded and then happily lay on He Xie's back, letting He Xie grab her thighs and lift her up a bit.

Zhang Kaizi, standing to the side, clicked his tongue and said with a smile, "When you two get married, don't forget to invite me to your wedding banquet!"

Lin Chuchu felt extremely happy upon hearing this.

He Xie kicked him and said irritably, "You're taking the college entrance exam, don't make a fuss."

At this moment, Lin Chuchu, who was on his back, asked in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "He Xie, am I your girlfriend now?"

He Xie: "Guess?"

Lin Chuchu: "Yes?"

He Xie: "Guess again?"

Lin Chuchu: "He Xie, what do I need to do to become your girlfriend?"

He Xie: "Guess again?"

Lin Chuchu: What are you doing?

He Xie: "Guess again and again?"

Lin Chuchu: "?"

[The contrast value from Lin Chuchu is +8373.]

He Xie doesn't need a girlfriend, only close female friends.

He longed for freedom.

Therefore, the only option is to neither refuse nor admit it.

Soon, the three of them left the swamp.

Zhang Kaizi, who was beside him, asked, "He Xie, where are we going next?"

He Xie: "I don't know, just find a place with a relatively open terrain and a good view."

Lin Chuchu: "Why would you want to find a place like this?"

He Xie said mysteriously, "You'll find out when the time comes, I guarantee you'll be so excited you'll scream."

He chose a spacious place with a good view so that he could use the Beast Summoning Technique to gather the ancient alien races and then wipe them out in one fell swoop.

......

wetlands.

Shortly after He Xie and the others left, Zhang Tao and the provincial leader arrived at the scene.

The two were immediately shocked by what they saw.

Previously, when I was in the office, the limited field of view of the surveillance equipment prevented me from seeing how many people had fallen to the ground.

When I arrived at the scene, I saw that a large area had collapsed.

There are at least two hundred people, I estimate.

Several safety officers also collapsed.

That's incredibly exaggerated.

Fortunately, they were all just unconscious and there was nothing seriously wrong with their health.

This put the two of them at ease.

"Mr. Wu, there's a candidate standing over there, go take a look."

Zhang Tao spotted An Ruoli, and after speaking, he and the provincial leaders walked towards her.

Seeing her blank expression and lifeless eyes, the provincial leader said, "If I'm not mistaken, this candidate is probably under the illusion of the Nine-Tailed Fox."

Zhang Tao immediately flattered him, saying, "Old Wu is indeed very knowledgeable."

The provincial leader was pleased to hear this, stroked his beard, and said, "Let's split up and go find that nine-tailed fox. Let's try not to disturb the practical assessment."

Soon, the two left in different directions to search for Su Jiu'er.

As for the safety officers and examinees by the swamp, the two chose to let them wake up on their own without interfering.

......

In a forest.

He Xie, Lin Chuchu, and Zhang Kaizi were walking forward without any direction.

Lin Chuchu: "Thank you, there are so many mosquitoes here. My hands are covered in bites, and they're so itchy."

He Xie: "Just bear with it for a bit."

Lin Chuchu: "Could you scratch this for me to stop the itch?"

He Xie: "If it bites your hand, don't scratch it. But if it bites your inner thigh, I'll scratch it for you."

Lin Chuchu blushed at what He Xie said and pinched his arm.

Unfortunately, it's too hard; I can't pinch it.

Zhang Kaizi, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore, so he walked in front of the two of them and led the way, out of sight, out of mind.

Otherwise, watching the two of them interact all the time would make him feel like he was going to be overwhelmed by their PDA.

As time goes by.

The road ahead widened, while the vegetation on both sides became increasingly scarce.

"Thank you, there's a basin ahead." Zhang Kaizi said as they walked ahead, "This should be the place you're looking for."

He Xie didn't say anything, and slowly walked forward with Lin Chuchu on his back.

Then I saw the basin that Zhang Kaizi had mentioned.

The so-called basin is actually a large, sunken pit, which looks barren, consisting of nothing but mud and sand, in stark contrast to the lush forest behind it.

Soon, the three of them went down into the basin.

In the center of the basin, He Xie saw a withered, towering tree.

It is estimated to be about 30 to 40 meters high and at least 2 meters in diameter.

There are no leaves.

There were only bare branches and a trunk that seemed to be hollow inside.

Looking at the towering tree, Zhang Kaizi said with a regretful expression, "Such a big tree has withered. Otherwise, it could have sold for at least several hundred thousand outside."

Hundreds of thousands?

He Xie raised an eyebrow, thinking it was a great deal.

But then I thought, this is the modern world of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, where everything has evolved.

Perhaps such large trees are not rare.

"This basin is completely bare, with a withered tree in the middle. It looks like it was hit by a meteorite," Lin Chuchu said.

He Xie smiled and joked, "It's also possible that this big tree fell from the sky, smashed a big crater in the originally lush ground, and then was killed by the reaction force."

After saying that, he looked at Zhang Kaizi and said, "Kaizi, hurry up and climb up the tree."

Why climb a tree?

Zhang Kaizi looked completely bewildered.

He Xie explained, "I'm going to lure all the ancient alien races from the entire Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain over here later, so you'll have to hide up there."

"ah?"

Zhang Kaizi looked completely bewildered and said, "How is this supposed to attract attention? Are you kidding me?"

"Whether it's a joke or not, you'll find out in a bit."

As soon as he finished speaking, He Xie carried Lin Chuchu on his back and leaped onto a branch that was more than 20 meters high, then put her on it to sit.

Soon after, Zhang Kaizi climbed up from below.

Lin Chuchu: "He Xie, how are you going to attract the alien races from the prehistoric world?"

Zhang Kaizi: "Could it be physical seduction?"

He Xie: "You know what baiting is for fishing, right? It's similar to this."

After saying that, He Xie jumped down from the tree, which was more than 20 meters high.

With a soft thud, it landed safely, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Lin Chuchu and Zhang Kaizi, who were in the tree, were stunned. How strong must their bodies be to jump from such a height and be unharmed?

Upon landing, He Xie immediately took out the Beast Guide from his system inventory, uncorked it, and placed it on the ground to evaporate, spreading in all directions with the airflow.

Having done all this, he quickly jumped up into the tree, waiting for the ancient alien races to walk right into his trap.
