"oh."
Bai Hao nodded, then turned to leave.
His decisiveness caught Ouyang Yan off guard for a moment. His departure was truly unexpected and took her by surprise.
She thought Bai Hao would make a few more insistent demands.
But Bai Hao didn't think so.
For Bai Hao, saving Ouyang Yan without asking for anything in return was already a huge sacrifice. What more could he ask for? Besides, Ouyang Yan herself said there was nothing wrong and told Bai Hao not to worry, so why should he be concerned?
Of course, they had to keep exploring. With so many treasures waiting for them, they couldn't afford to slack off.
Just as Bai Hao turned to leave, the two large stone doors at both ends of the main hall suddenly slammed down with a loud "bang," blocking the exit!
At the same time, in the originally dark hall, bursts of light suddenly shone from the ceiling. The two looked up at the same time and saw scorching magma flowing out from the cracks in the ceiling, dripping onto the ground from the cracks, and then slowly merging together to gradually form a huge magma giant.
Moreover, there wasn't just one magma giant, there were four of them!
Each magma giant is over two meters tall, with a robust physique and an absolute advantage in strength.
With the appearance of the magma giant, the temperature in the entire hall immediately reached an alarming level. The wind that rushed in felt like fire, unbearably hot. Bai Hao had to activate his "Fire Domain" again to keep the intense heat out.
"What the hell is this thing? Is it a trap from the ruins themselves?" This was the first time Bai Hao had encountered something so inhuman. It was obvious at a glance that it was a creation of the ruins themselves.
However, these magma giants were only of average strength, at the early stage of breaking through the barrier. Bai Hao didn't take them seriously at all, but was more interested in their appearance.
"roar!"
A low growl roared from the magma giant's throat, and four magma giants charged directly at the two of them, leaving a magma footprint with each step, sizzling and smoking.
"Hey big guy, come on!" Bai Hao dodged with ease, even having time to tease them a little.
But Ouyang Yan, on the other side, turned pale as she looked at the magma giant charging towards her.
She was still under the effects of the poison and had no way to dodge, so she could only watch helplessly as the magma giant charged towards her.
Bai Hao noticed that Ouyang Yan was still sitting there without dodging. He cursed inwardly, "What is this stupid woman doing?" Then, he flashed in front of Ouyang Yan. Just as the two magma giants were about to swing their arms down, Bai Hao quickly grabbed Ouyang Yan and rolled several times on the ground to dodge the attack.
"You stupid woman, what are you standing there for? Do you want to die?" Bai Hao couldn't help but curse.
That woman is so stupid, doesn't she know how to dodge?
"I'm sorry." It was the first time Ouyang Yan had been called a stupid woman, and she was actually a little angry inside. However, remembering that Bai Hao had saved her twice, she didn't dare show it. Instead, she blushed slightly and said softly, "The poison in my body hasn't been cured yet, and I can't move..."
She had to tell the truth.
She didn't tell Bai Hao before because she didn't want to trouble him, but if she didn't tell him now, she would really be dead.
"Why didn't you say so before? Did you want to die? What a stupid woman." Bai Hao looked at her speechlessly.
“I…” Ouyang Yan was speechless for a moment, unable to utter a rebuttal.
"Alright, then you just stay still and I'll lead you out." The four magma giants had already surrounded them, giving them no chance to breathe.
Bai Hao picked Ouyang Yan up on his back and leaped into the air.
Ouyang Yan was shocked to see Bai Hao carry her on his back. She exclaimed in surprise, "What...what are you doing!"
Being carried by a strange man other than her father for the first time in her life, even Ouyang Yan was thrown into a state of panic, but she couldn't muster the strength to break free.
"Stop yelling in my ear, it's so noisy. I told you I'll take you out of here, don't move!" Bai Hao carried Ouyang Yan in one hand and held the Immortal Slaying Sword in the other. Despite carrying someone on his back, he moved very quickly, and the magma giant couldn't touch him at all.
Instead, Bai Hao simply stepped over the head of a magma giant, and with a swift stroke of his sword, pierced through all four magma giants, shattering them into fragments.
But they are lifeless, merely products of magma. Even though Bai Hao shattered them, the broken magma quickly solidified back up on the ground.
"This thing is still unkillable?" Bai Hao was slightly surprised, then decisively gave up on entanglement with the magma giant and instead stabbed his sword into the stone wall blocking the doorway.
With a loud crash, the heavy stone door crumbled into pieces under Bai Hao's sword energy.
Bai Hao carried Ouyang Yan and darted out the door, giving the magma giant no chance to catch up.
...
Follow the corridor to a fork in the road. One way leads to the left and the other to the right. The left side leads to a room, while the right side leads to another foggy road.
Bai Hao hesitated for a moment, then decided to go to the room next door to rest and see how things went.
Like the previous two palaces, this room was empty, with nothing inside, and the walls were made of dark blue stone bricks.
Bai Hao checked her over briefly and found nothing unusual before coming in, closing the door behind him, and putting Ouyang Yan down. He then noticed that Ouyang Yan's face was frighteningly pale, while her lips were a dark purple. Even through her clothes, Bai Hao could see that the wound on her right shoulder was completely black.
"Wow, is this poison that potent? No wonder I didn't hear her speak on the way here." Bai Hao clicked his tongue in surprise.
Ouyang Yan is clearly deeply poisoned, and the poison has likely reached her heart, causing her to fall into a coma.
"You even claim to be one of President Dan's men and that you can cure poison, but I haven't seen you cure poison at all," Bai Hao couldn't help but complain.
It's shameful for someone from the prestigious Dan Sect to be unable to even cure poison.
"You didn't tell me where the antidote is, so I don't know how to cure the poison." Despite his complaints, Bai Hao couldn't bear to watch Ouyang Yan die from the poison.
The problem is that Bai Hao doesn't know how to detoxify either. He is well-versed in medical knowledge, but has never practiced it; he is just a theorist.
Furthermore, he didn't know what kind of poison Ouyang Yan had been given, so he had no way to treat it effectively.
"Fine, let's try anything. I don't have any antidote pills, but I do have a Rejuvenation Pill. Let's see if I can bring you back." Bai Hao took out a jade bottle, which contained the Rejuvenation Pill that he had refined some time ago.
