What secret is hidden?

Fu Ying lightly used his fingertips to push aside the vines wrapped around the cave entrance and chuckled, "That's quite a coincidence."

She clenched her five fingers lightly, and the frost arrow in the air shattered, turning into mist and dissipating into the air.

This move made Lai Shiba's scalp tingle. A female who could control natural elements at will was truly terrifying!

"Yu Li, you wait outside, I'll go in and take a look." Fu Ying raised his leg and was about to walk inside.

"No!" Yu Li's expression changed and he grabbed her slender wrist with great force.

Fear welled up in his eyes, and his voice changed tone: "No! You can't risk your life!"

Lai Shiba also frowned and looked at Fu Ying with disapproval. He shook his head and said, "I know you are the messenger of the Beast God and can control the nature. You are indeed powerful, but the poisonous gas inside is so strong that even the Beast God himself might not be able to withstand it. You are a female, and pregnant with a cub. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the cub."

Fu Ying flipped his wrist and easily broke free from Yu Li's grip.

She lightly touched the back of his tense hand with her fingertips, as if to comfort him, but her tone was unquestionable.

"Wu's problem must be resolved as soon as possible. The star pattern is broken, and he can't wait. The Flower and Leaf Twins are right in front of us. This kind of spiritual medicine has unusual habits and is even more difficult to grow. If we miss it, we don't know when we will come across it again."

Yu Li's hand was suspended in the air, his knuckles turning white.

Although they had only known each other for a short time, he knew Fu Ying's personality very well. No one could change what she decided.

"You know my abilities. Wait here obediently. When I come out, we'll go back together."

After he finished speaking, Fu Ying glanced at Lai Shiba again.

Her eyes were calm, but they made the handsome toad beastman straighten his back.

"As for you, this is your territory, but if you attack Yu Li while I'm away, even if he loses a hair, I'll dig three feet into the ground to dig you out and send you to see the Beast God. Do you understand?"

Lai Shiba's mouth twitched, and his cheeks twitched twice. After a long pause, he finally squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Neither of us is your male, but your attitude towards the two of us is really as different as heaven and earth."

Yu Li's gilded pupils shone slightly in the dark, like broken gold. He stared straight at Fu Ying, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised a little, and even the tips of his ears showed a hint of excitement.

"Just stay quiet." Fu Ying said without turning his head, and suddenly threw something to him.

The next moment, she turned and walked into the cave.

Fu Ying's figure was quickly swallowed up by the darkness in the cave. Yu Li lowered his eyes and looked at the medicine bottle in his hand. A wisp of clear medicinal fragrance entered his nostrils. His slender fingers suddenly clenched, and his heart suddenly beat heavily in his chest.

"Hehe, it seems that she does have some feelings for you." Lai Shiba's sour voice came.

Yu Li frowned and looked up at Lai Shiba, who was leaning against the rock wall, looking him up and down, very unconvinced.

He turned his head and sat down cross-legged directly at the entrance of the cave, with his bony palms resting on his knees. Despite his seemingly relaxed posture, every inch of his muscles was tense as if a bowstring was fully drawn.

Lai Shiba's eyes almost popped out of his head as he asked in surprise, "You actually plan to wait here? Just wait for nothing? You're crazy. That's a female! A pregnant female! Can you be sure of that? What if she's in there..."

"Shut up!" Yu Li's golden eyes were filled with hostility, and his voice was colder than the air in the cave.

Yu Li sneered: "It's not hard to guess what you're thinking. Without me, do you have a chance? Since she told me to wait here, I'll listen to her. You don't need to say anything else."

Lai Shiba narrowed his eyes, snorted and laughed, and while Yu Li was not paying attention, his figure flashed into the cave like a ghost.

Yu Li's pupils shrank, and his golden pupils suddenly locked. He raised his legs to chase, but when he reached the entrance of the cave, Fu Ying's words "Stay here" echoed in his ears. He pursed his lips and his movements became stiff.

That toad orc clearly has bad intentions. What if he's just trying to trick us and attack us from behind?

In his memory, the glaring scene suddenly tore apart his sanity. At the tribal trading meeting, Fu Ying was stabbed in the heart by the male who was supposed to protect her. At that time, he was only worried about Wu, fearing that Fu Ying's death would implicate his brother.

But now, these images echoed clearly in his mind, making his heart ache.

She can live once, twice, but can she avoid crisis every time?

"Damn it!" Yu Li squeezed out these two words from between his teeth, and his figure rushed into the cave like an arrow.

*

On the other side, Fu Ying, who entered the cave alone, didn't know that Lai Shiba and Yu Li had already followed him in.

She pinched her fingers together and a faint halo appeared around her. This layer of restriction could isolate the surging poisonous fog.

Just as Lai Shiba said, the cave was filled with dark poisonous gas, and it was almost pitch dark. It was like falling into a black hole, and one would be smashed to pieces if one was not careful. Only the faint fragrance in the air guided the way forward.

Fu Ying's eyes flickered slightly. This fragrance was very complex, as if it was not just the scent of a flower.

But soon, Fu Ying no longer had the heart to explore the fragrance of the flowers. As she went deeper into the cave, the surroundings suddenly became clear and empty. Rustling sounds were heard all around, as if millions of poisonous insects were scratching the rugged stone walls.

She gathered a faint light at her fingertips, illuminating the area within three meters around her, but it was still hazy due to the fog.

"Blood vine?" Fu Ying was a little surprised when he saw the blood-red vines wriggling on the ground. This thing lives in the deep mountains and old forests filled with miasma. It feeds on blood and can be used as medicine. It is a very precious elixir in the continent of cultivation.

The climate in the cave is humid and poisonous gas is rampant, which is obviously not suitable for the survival of blood vines.

Fu Ying frowned, somewhat confused, but adhering to the idea of ​​plucking feathers from a passing goose, he cut the blood vines and put them all into the space. Since they had already come in, it would be a waste if they were only for the twin flowers and leaves.

She continued walking, but soon stopped again.

Not far away, in the soil, there grew a strange red flower. Its stamens trembled, and a faint fragrance filled the air. On the scarlet petals, winding golden snake patterns were slowly moving, as if they were alive.

"Golden Snake Flower?" Fu Ying looked even more surprised.

This magical medicine that should have grown in the magma of the earth's veins is now rooted in this cold and poisonous fog where no one lives?

Golden Snake Flower is also a rare elixir, even more precious than Blood Vine.

Fu Ying stepped forward and looked at it carefully for a moment. He condensed spiritual energy on his fingertips and gently parted the petals. In the pistil, golden-red nectar slowly condensed, emitting a hot breath like magma, which was incompatible with the coldness of the surroundings.

She was slightly surprised. It was really the golden snake flower!

Fu Ying was a little surprised. Blood vine and golden snake flower, these magical herbs that should have grown in different extreme environments, were strangely gathered here. It would be a joke to say that there was nothing strange about this place!

She picked the golden snake flower nimbly, put it in a jade box, and stored it in the space.

But it was this action that made Fu Ying half-close her eyes, and she looked up into the depths of darkness.

The poisonous fog there seemed to be even thicker than before.

Along the way, they searched for more than a dozen various spiritual medicines, many of which were extremely precious. However, they still couldn't find any trace of the Flower and Leaf Twins. After an unknown amount of time, Fu Ying narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, and her expression became stern.

She discovered that this strange poisonous gas was quietly corroding her restrictions!
