"Let me go!"
Yan Di advised earnestly, "Do you still want to disobey Ze's orders? You know what kind of temper Ze has. If you continue to make trouble like this, you will end up in trouble."
"You're all on his side! I don't understand. Didn't he beat me in that competition? Given time, I can surpass him!"
"He just has some more skills in curing diseases. How can I not compare to him?"
"Yes, yes, you are right. Let's go." Yan Di gently pushed her who didn't move.
How could she not see through his perfunctory attitude? She snorted coldly and turned away angrily.
Round City House——
"What? Have you made up your mind?" Yuanze glanced at her and waited patiently for her answer.
Shen Qi smiled faintly and looked back at him, "It's indeed a good deal, but the way you said it makes me think you have something...to ask of me."
He lowered his head, the corners of his mouth curled up, "You guessed right, this king does need your help, but I don't know if you have the ability to do it."
Yuanze raised his slender hand with his palm facing upwards, and released a ball of spiritual energy towards the darkest corner deep inside.
Click——
Accompanied by the harsh sound of stone mill, she saw what looked like a heavy stone door slowly opening, revealing a dark path.
A hint of surprise flashed through Shen Qi's dark eyes. He had never expected that there would be a hidden cave here. It was originally dark and gloomy, and no one wanted to get close to it.
Yuanze stood up and walked towards the path, "Follow me."
Shen Qi followed closely behind him and walked with him to the narrow secret passage.
With a "click", a small fireball hung on his fingertips, illuminating the dark place.
The further in he went, the wider the path opened, and he felt a little cold. Shen Qi raised his hands and touched his arms. The deeper he went, the colder it became.
Only when I got close to his flame did I feel a little less cold.
He glanced sideways at the person beside him, and suddenly the flame enlarged again, becoming a flame the size of his palm, and she no longer felt cold.
Shen Qi glanced at the wall inadvertently and found that there were ice chips mixed in the cracks of the stone!
I was confused, but when I reached the deepest part I got the explanation. It turned out to be an ice cave!
No wonder I felt so cold just now, as if it was winter all of a sudden.
However, there was an extra stone bed made of ice in the center of the spacious ice cave, which seemed a bit abrupt. On it... there was a person lying, and judging from his figure, he looked like a teenager.
Shen Qi followed him to the stone bed. The young man had a handsome face, with thick eyebrows tightly furrowed and lips that were a little black, as if he was enduring some pain and did not seem to be feeling well.
"He's my brother."
His words surprised her for a moment. Why was his brother placed in this secret room...
Looking at the young men on the ice bed for a few times, they didn't look very similar.
"Can you cure the poison in him?"
"Poison?" No wonder his lips looked different, it turned out he was poisoned.
"Well, he doesn't have any disease, but poison."
"Ding—Mission: Find the Hanxuan Grass and refine it into a pill to treat the orc in the hospital bed. The herbs can be obtained from the Frost Extreme Valley. Reward: Immunity to the same toxin as the young man."
Had his brother been poisoned by some magical beast? No, magical beasts aren't poisonous. So where did the poison in his body come from? Did he eat poisonous food? That shouldn't be the case either.
She thought for a moment, and a low and magnetic voice came into her ears.
"I have consulted several witch doctors, but none of them could cure it. Can you cure it?"
"Can."
He looked directly at her with deep eyes, assessing her expression.
"Okay, I believe you, but you'd better not have any ulterior motives." The witch doctor who said he could save his brother actually tried to kill him with poison, and was finally killed by him in an extremely cruel way.
What could she possibly have any ill intentions? She was just diligently completing her mission. "This poison is a bit difficult to treat. I may have to leave Demonic Beast City for a few days."
"Have you thought of the herbs? Where are they?"
"Hanji Valley."
Hearing this, he frowned slightly and his eyes became deep.
"What's wrong?"
"Hanji Valley is a bit dangerous. The weather is cold. If I follow you, it will be less dangerous."
Shen Qi nodded. If it was dangerous there, his fighting ability would indeed allow her to save some energy.
"I have something else to do today, so I'll go to the Frost Valley tomorrow."
Shen Qi responded, and the two of them left the ice chamber.
On her way back, an evil beast stopped her. It looked familiar. She looked at him and saw that his eyes fell on the dagger at her waist, with a greedy look that could not be ignored.
She thought of the evil beast she encountered when Ruolan took her back to the cave when she first came here.
There was a chill in her eyes, and she didn't even look at him. "What's wrong?"
She Yan looked away, looked at her cold face, and smiled.
"I'm She Yan. I've heard that you defeated Ruolan in Demonic Beast City and saved many female demonic beasts. You gained a lot of prestige, but... you don't like it here and want to leave."
"Then what?"
This evil beast seemed to be always inquiring about her, and it even knew that she wanted to escape from here.
Shen Qi's eyes turned cold.
She Yan's smile widened. "How about we discuss a cooperation?"
"What kind of cooperation? And who are you?"
"I was originally the king of this Demonic Beast City. It's only because that orc has taken my place that my status has become so low!"
