Ye Xiaoxiao looked at Shangguan Lingyun in disbelief.
"My husband, have you never seen this kind of insect?"
Shangguan Lingyun nodded. "Although the capital city has a moat, it doesn't have such dangerous insects."
Ye Xiaoxiao thought so too, so she gave a brief introduction.
"This insect is called a leech, also known as a vampire. It can attach itself to humans and animals, and can also burrow into human skin."
"Once you find a leech attached to your skin, just use the method I just used to stimulate it out."
"If the previous method doesn't work, you can drip alcohol or salt water onto the skin where it's located, which may also force it out."
"If all the above methods don't work, the only way to remove it is to cut open the entire skin."
"Although leeches suck blood, they are a very good medicinal ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine."
After Ye Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Shangguan Lingyun frowned and fell into deep thought. After a moment, Shangguan Lingyun spoke.
"If I remember correctly, there is such an ingredient in Lian Xin's antidote."
Ye Xiaoxiao also reacted at this time, and hurriedly asked the system in her mind.
"System, was there no leech in this world before?"
The system replied: "Leech do exist, but they are rare here."
"And what your husband said is correct. Among the antidote to Lianxin, leeches are the heartless ones."
Ye Xiaoxiao frowned and thought carefully for a long time. She did remember that Wuxin's explanation was roughly the same as that of leeches.
However, she didn't believe that a small, ordinary leech could be the antidote to Lian Xin.
Sure enough, just as she was thinking, the system's voice sounded again.
"It is indeed as the host thought. Wuxin is not an ordinary leech, but a leech king that has lived for more than 20 years."
"Leech lifespans can typically be up to 15 years. Leeches over 20 years old are extremely rare. So far, no one has ever seen one."
Ye Xiaoxiao frowned deeply, then relaxed her brows. For some reason, she always felt that the leech appeared here for a certain purpose.
Shangguan Lingyun saw that she remained silent and patted her back gently.
"Xiaoxiao, what are you thinking about?"
Ye Xiaoxiao came back to her senses and told Shangguan Lingyun exactly what the system had just said. Shangguan Lingyun smiled faintly upon hearing this.
"It seems that we may gain something else from this trip, but for now, we need to go back and make long-term plans."
Ye Xiaoxiao did not refuse and followed Shangguan Lingyun to the place where she had just separated from Ye Sheng.
Shangguan Lingyun imitated a bird's call towards the mountain, and soon, Ye Sheng and Wang Xiao came down the mountain together.
"So, what did you find?"
Wang Xiao said, "Perhaps it's because the Rat King often disappears with his rats, so the Qi family army on the mountain hasn't noticed anything unusual yet."
Shangguan Lingyun nodded, but Ye Sheng looked around the two of them anxiously.
"Where are Tianxuan and the princess?"
Ye Xiaoxiao briefly told Ye Sheng what had just happened. Ye Sheng was a little worried, so Ye Xiaoxiao asked everyone to go and meet up with Dugu Xin first.
Shangguan Lingyun held Ye Xiaoxiao and performed light skills, Ye Sheng and Wang Xiao followed closely behind. It didn't take long for everyone to reunite.
Princess Xinya was awake at this time, but her face was a little pale, not sure if it was because of fear or blood loss.
Ye Sheng hurried to her side, asked a few questions with concern, and was relieved after confirming that she was fine.
At this time, Dugu Xin had already captured the Rat King and all the other rats.
Dugu Xin glanced at the universal storage box in front of him, which had not changed in size, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"What is this box made of? It's packed with so many mice, but it hasn't changed at all."
Upon hearing this, Han Yu directly picked up the universal storage box and then added.
“Even the weight doesn’t seem to have changed.”
Ye Xiaoxiao smiled faintly, "This is a treasure I found by chance. I didn't expect it to be so powerful."
"But for now, this box is a good weapon for us."
Dugu Xin nodded in agreement and then said.
"I also packed the extra earth dragon meat in there. I think it might be useful in the future."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoxiao smiled faintly and nodded.
"Well done. Even if it's useless, we can still give it to the Rat King as food in the future."
"Let's not talk about this for now. We have other discoveries. Let's go back and discuss it slowly before we talk about it."
No one objected, so they went down the mountain together with the universal storage box.
After everyone returned to their previous residence, Ye Xiaoxiao instructed Ye Sheng to use salt water to disinfect Princess Xinya.
Then Han Yu and Tian Xuan arranged meals for everyone.
Everyone sat down and talked about their recent gains while eating.
After Ye Sheng treated Princess Xinya's wound, he pulled her to sit down and then looked at Dugu Xin.
"There's nothing unusual on the mountain for now, but I don't think it will last long before they discover it."
"This is now your territory, Dayu. It's not easy for Daxia's soldiers to come here. So, next you should find a way to quickly eliminate the threat of the Qi family army."
Dugu Xin did not refuse. "Although I didn't bring too many people this time, I have brought in a lot of herbs in the past few days. It is not impossible to outsmart them."
After Dugu Xin finished speaking, he looked at Shangguan Lingyun and Ye Xiaoxiao.
"We've already got the brain without a brain and the liver without a liver. What are your plans next?"
I originally thought that the two would rush back immediately, but unexpectedly Ye Xiaoxiao spoke.
"The insect that just clings to Princess Xinya's arm is most likely a Wuxin larva."
