Xiao Duye was in despair. "We were impulsive. If we had known earlier, we should have brought some dry food with us and called in a few experts from the military camp to expand the search team. Otherwise, with just a few of us, we might not be able to find even a small herb even after searching for ten days or half a month."

Of course Su Xiaoxiao wouldn't be stupid enough to go looking for herbs directly. What she was looking for was a hot spring.

She was too lazy to waste words with Xiao Duye.

"The Five Tigers."

Hearing her calling the little macaw again, Xiao Duye laughed sarcastically: "You don't expect a bird to find medicine for you, do you? It's so cold, it will freeze to death after flying out for a while."

One of his concubines raised a parrot. In winter, the parrot was very afraid of the cold and fragile, and would be frozen to death if it was not kept warm.

Su Xiaoxiao had indeed seen other parrots afraid of the cold, but perhaps the bird food from the pharmacy had improved Wuhu's physique. Wuhu was more resistant to cold than other parrots, so they would be fine as long as they didn't encounter a snowstorm.

Wuhu reluctantly stretched out his head from Jingyi's arms, drooping, refusing to be a working bird from now on! Su Xiaoxiao took out a bird food.

The Five Tigers instantly flapped their wings and jumped onto Su Xiaoxiao's wrist. They could continue to be passive and slack tomorrow.

Birds are very sensitive to water sources; this is their survival instinct.

Su Xiaoxiao fed the five tigers so that they had enough strength to search for the whereabouts of the hot spring.

When the five tigers flapped their wings and flew out, Wei Ting and Fusu had already waded down the mountain through the thick snow.

The hot spring pool is located in a valley surrounded by mountains. It is a small pool shrouded in mist and the water surface is as blue as crystal. It is breathtakingly beautiful at first glance.

Fusu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I have been searching for five days. I think my efforts have paid off. But then again, is that Hua Tuo reliable? Is there no Snowy Gastrodia near the hot springs?"

"There should be, but I don't know if it is this hot spring."

"What? Master, are you saying there might be other hot springs in this snowy mountain? No way! It took us five days to find this one, and then we'll have to find the next one..."

Fusu didn't dare to think further.

Wei Ting took out the drawing left by Sai Huatuo from his arms. Snowy Gastrodia elata is not the real Gastrodia elata, but is named because of its appearance that resembles Gastrodia elata. It grows in the snowy Tianshan Mountains, but grows beside warm springs. Such a unique living environment gives it powerful medicinal effects, and it is an excellent medicinal material for treating colds.

Wei Ting found it without much effort. It was a solitary plant right next to the hot spring, its green leaves and brown roots rustling in the cold wind.

Finally found him, my second brother is saved.

Wei Ting was delighted and walked towards the Snowy Gastrodia.

However, just as he bent down and was about to touch the herbs, several figures suddenly appeared from behind him.

A flash of knife came towards his arm, Wei Ting retracted his hand, blocked his wrist with his backhand, and snatched the knife from his hand with his other hand in a lightning speed.

He slashed with his sword.

The opponent stepped back on tiptoe and lined up with the other seven masters at a distance of ten steps.

"Wow, I didn't expect there are people who share the same interests as me."

Accompanied by a joking voice, a middle-aged man and a pretty girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old walked out from behind the masters.

Fusu drew his sword.

Wei Ting looked at him suspiciously: "Are you a Gu Master?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "You are quite capable to recognize me as a Gu Master, boy. Forget it, go away. I won't kill you."

Wei Ting looked at the other party warily: "Conditions?"

The middle-aged man said, "Don't touch that Snow Region Gastrodia elata."

Wei Ting said calmly: "I'm sorry, I'll take the Snowland Gastrodia elata."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Come here next year, it will still be there."

Wei Ting said coldly: "I want it now."

The girl said coquettishly: "Why waste so much time talking to him? Just kill him!"

The middle-aged man said earnestly: "Miss, we are here to look for medicine, don't kill people without any hesitation."

The girl said with some disdain: "Who would know if I killed him? If you don't kill him, I will!"

After the girl said this, she pulled out the whip from her waist and attacked Wei Ting.

Fusu took a step forward to meet her attack.

The rest of the people split into two groups and fought with Wei Ting and Fusu respectively.

The middle-aged man looked at Wei Ting, and before he could finish his words, Wei Ting pierced a master's chest with a sword.

He drew out his sword and kicked the opponent's body towards the other three people. The moment the three were knocked down, he flew into the air, his sword energy was like a rainbow, and he took the lives of several people in the blink of an eye.

The middle-aged man's face darkened.

He had not expected that such a young boy could be so skilled. Where was he from? A Northern Yan? Or a Great Zhou? After killing these four, Wei Ting rushed towards the rest.

"Miss, come back!"

The middle-aged man hurriedly scolded.

The girl's whip was cut off by Wei Ting's sword. She stepped back several steps and glared at Wei Ting angrily: "Damn it!"

She wanted to rush forward again, but was stopped by the middle-aged man.

Wei Ting and Fusu quickly dealt with the remaining four. Fusu used his body as a shield to guard against the sneak attacks of the girl and the Gu Master. Wei Ting swung his sword and cut off the Snowy Gastrodia elata at the root.

Fusu's eyes lit up: "Got it! That's great, Master!"

There is nothing to be afraid of with just a Gu Master and a little girl. It is impossible for them to snatch the medicinal materials from them.

Wei Ting grabbed the Snowy Gastrodia in his hand and was about to take Fusu away, but something incredible happened the next second.

His heart skipped a beat and he felt a strong sense of weakness. He knelt on one knee and used his sword to support his body that was on the verge of falling.

"Young Master!" Fusu's face changed. He wanted to step forward but he felt a black screen in front of his eyes and fell weakly in the snow.

The girl laughed: "So you didn't know that Snow Region Gastrodia is poisonous. You're fighting so fiercely for it, and I thought you had taken the antidote in advance. But it's true, there's no such antidote anywhere else, only us..."

"Miss." The middle-aged man stopped her in time to prevent her from revealing information that she shouldn't.

The girl smiled and said no more.

She put her hands behind her back and walked towards Wei Ting with a smug look on her face.

Wei Ting could hardly hold on any longer, and even breathing became difficult.

The girl used the handle of the broken whip to push away the messy hair on Wei Ting's cheek. Wei Ting was busy on his way and looked disheveled. Even a beard had grown out, but this did not affect his handsome appearance at all.

The girl's eyes widened. She raised her slender white fingertips and lifted Wei Ting's delicate chin: "You are so beautiful. I will take you back and make you my husband!"

The middle-aged man said, "Don't mess around."

"I want him!" The girl said without letting anyone refuse, and smiled at Wei Ting. "How about you just come back with me and I'll get the antidote to save you? Otherwise, the poison of the Snow Region Gastrodia will kill you here."

A trace of disgust flashed in Wei Ting's eyes, but all the strength in his body was drained, which was even more terrifying than being drugged by a strong knockout drug.

The girl raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Uncle Han, carry him over!"

Just as she finished her words, a devastating sound of breaking through the air was heard not far away, and a golden arrow appeared out of nowhere and shot towards the girl.

"Miss!"

The middle-aged man pushed the girl away in horror. His right shoulder was shot through and a sharp pain came over him. His whole face was twisted.

The girl angrily asked, "Who is it?"

She looked around but saw no one coming, so she looked up and saw a woman dressed in animal skins standing on the cliff facing the wind with a golden bow in her arms, her eyes full of murderous intent.

With mountains covered in snow behind her, she looked like a goddess born from heaven and earth.

She moved her hand and shot out a mechanical claw that grabbed the reef of the cliff.

She grabbed the rope inside the mechanism and flew down like an eagle flapping its wings or a god from the sky.

She knelt on one knee on the snow, took a few steps forward with her light kung fu, and knocked the girl down with one move! Then she stepped on the girl's chest, stomping the girl back to the ground! The girl cried in pain.

Su Xiaoxiao showed no mercy. She looked at her coldly: "How dare you snatch my husband away from me!"

Brother Ting: To round it off, the little fat peacock expressed his love to me in public o(*￣︶￣*)o 　　Is Xiao Xiao handsome today?

I'm going to bed, see you tomorrow
