Chapter 59 Returning to the Valley
It instantly exhausted all his mental energy, and Gu Qing immediately withdrew the mental image.
The fiery cloud rushed towards the swarm of strange bees that flew in from behind, and the hissing sound mixed with the smell of burning brought Chen Xingheng a little respite.
But it was only a brief respite. The scattered bees regrouped, and Chen Xingheng put his arm around her. "Qingqing, don't worry. Your man is much better than you. This little injury will only take a few more days to heal."
His other hand kept waving, but the venom and pollution brought in by the alien bees had already slowed him down.
Just as the alien bees, which had gathered from all directions, were about to launch their attack, a wave of heat suddenly emanated from their side.
The alien bees that had gathered on one side and above them were swept away by the flames mixed with heat.
A gust of wind blew from the other side, carrying the strange bees away. Seeing this, the white tiger slowed down and finally stopped.
It vanished the instant it stopped, and Chen Xingheng and Gu Qing fell onto the grass, while the swarm of alien bees had been blasted away by these people's skills.
However, because there were several fifth-tier and more than twenty fourth-tier creatures inside, which would occasionally emit some corrosive liquid, these people were unable to deal with it immediately.
After all, this sap will turn into toxic smoke when it comes into contact with fire.
Gu Qing helped Chen Xingheng lie down, took out an antidote pill and an energy pill, and put them into his mouth. At this moment, Zhu Jian walked by. "Leave your sister-in-law to me."
Gu Qing nodded and made way for him. Bamboo Slip first laid a large mat on the ground, then moved Chen Xingheng onto it and stripped off his clothes.
Connect to the device, cut open the area where the bee stung to let it bleed, then apply medicine. No bandaging is needed, and it will heal in a short time.
At this moment, the instrument transmitted a report: "Chen Xingheng, A-level combatant, is injured and exhausted. The pollution value has increased by 4 points. It has not yet exceeded the controllable range. Please try to control it to avoid causing unnecessary trouble."
Bamboo Slip breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness, I'll still need to use a purification pill to control it when I get back."
Gu Qing quickly nodded, "Yes, I've got it."
Meanwhile, the battle over there was nearing its end. Several alien bees had been killed, and Qi Bai came running over excitedly. "Third brother, how are you? Is sister-in-law injured? I got two crystal cores, and sister-in-law is giving them to you as a gift."
Even level 5 alien bees are very small, so their crystal cores are also very small. However, compared to that, they contain much less pollution. Gu Qing picked one up and examined it.
"The contamination level of this crystal core doesn't even reach level two!" he said, releasing a small cloud.
The little cloud was also close to upgrading; it had completed its evolution in the short time it had been wrapped around the crystal core.
Gu Qing then placed the crystal core into Qi Bai's hand, saying, "You gave me two, so I'm returning one to you."
Qi Bai's eyes widened and sparkled, "Sister-in-law, this, this, this is too good for you."
Just as he finished speaking, a large hand covered his face and pushed him away. Gu Qing turned around and saw Chen Xingheng standing up.
"How are you? Is anything bothering you?" she said, supporting his arm.
But as soon as her arm touched him, Chen Xingheng pulled her into his arms. "Don't worry, it's nothing. It's mainly because my superpower and mental energy are depleted. I've already taken medicine for this minor injury, and it will be completely healed in two days."
Actually, none of what he said is important. The real problem is the increase in mental energy pollution, a sudden rise of 4 percentage points. At his level, he'd need to be a mid-level purifier to complete a single purification.
But for now, this is the only option. Whether to take the purification pill or find someone to purify the body is something to be decided after we get back, so no one brought it up.
Bo Chuan walked over with steady steps. "How's your injury?"
"Boss is alright now, but his superpowers and mental strength are depleted and he's starting to feel the strain." Chen Xingheng smiled with relief, after all, it had really been too dangerous just now.
"Let me introduce the situation in the valley." Bo Chuan's cold voice immediately made the group of people put away their joking expressions.
The group took out chairs from the space and sat down. Then Chen Xingheng set up full-screen projection. "This is a panoramic view that my wife took before."
We didn't take any more photos later because of the urgency of the situation. You can see this is a patch of flowers near the valley. My wife and I tested them and confirmed that they are all pure plants.
We immediately sensed something was wrong and searched carefully, but all the blue crystal energy stones were covered by insulating stones. After searching for two hours, I still couldn't find anything.
Or perhaps... Qingqing was just sitting there bored.
Gu Qing couldn't stand Chen Xingheng's constant references to his wife, so she pinched him. Although it didn't hurt much, he knew what she meant and quickly changed his tune.
But in his heart he was thinking that they were all competitors, and if he didn't declare his sovereignty now, when would he?
"Qingqing was bored there, so she used her short sword to pry at the surface of the stone, which exposed the blue crystal inside."
Upon hearing his words, everyone's attention turned to Gu Qing. Some marveled at his luck, but Bo Chuan had a different thought.
What a pointless search! She definitely won't use her abilities, and even if she did, Gu Qing's destructive power would be limited. So, the fact that she could peel off a layer of the isolation stone means that weapon is extraordinary.
But seeing that no one seemed to notice the problem, he didn't bring it up for the time being.
"The purity of the blue crystal is very high. When the isolation stone was pried open, it was about the size of a dish opening, and the alien bees rioted."
You know, the two of us fought against the alien plants there before, picking flowers. I even dug three feet into the ground but couldn't disturb those alien bees.
Bo Chuan rested his hand on his leg, his knuckles tapping incessantly. "So we need to act quickly, because not only do we need these energy stones, but other exotic plants and beasts do as well."
“Yes, now that we’ve been exposed, and we’ve eliminated so many of the alien bees, if we don’t collect them quickly, they might be taken over by other alien beasts,” Chen Xingheng added, analyzing the situation.
Bo Chuan glanced at these people first, then said, "Zhu Jian, make some contact and get two teams of people to come over with their equipment."
"Xingheng, you stay here with Master Gu to rest. We'll go check out that valley first."
Chen Xingheng did not answer immediately, but instead turned around and glanced at Gu Qing.
Gu Qing smiled approvingly, and Chen Xingheng, his eyes sparkling, grabbed her hand and kissed it, ignoring the various stares from the single men present.
Turning to look at Bo Chuan, he said, "Boss, we'll go with you. Although my pollution level has increased quite a bit, it's been under good control before, so there's no problem for now."
As for the depleted supernatural abilities and mental energy, they are slowly recovering with the replenishment of energy pills, and will definitely not hold the team back.
Bo Chuan stood up and patted him on the shoulder. "I didn't mean that. Since you insist, let's go quickly."
The group stood up, waved their hands to store their belongings in their spatial storage, and boarded the flying car to head back to the valley.
