Perhaps it was the excitement that gave him motivation, Mo Fan quickly absorbed the essence, and even successfully absorbed the herbs under Zizhou's guidance.
Just when Zizhou and Mofan were preparing to discuss going back the next day, they heard the sound of fighting outside the cave. Zizhou and Mofan looked out and saw that there was an injured woman being chased by a centipede-like poisonous insect.
"Is it a poisonous insect? Isn't it on the other side of Pingsha Lake? How did it get here?"
Zizhou thought about it and understood the reason.
"It should be because we killed the lizard this morning that the balance of this place was disrupted. One of the two monsters that originally did not interfere with each other died, and the other one will definitely rush to seize the territory as soon as possible."
Mo Fan clenched his right fist and punched his left palm, with a look of sudden enlightenment on his face. However, the most important thing now was whether or not to save that woman.
Zizhou didn't care, but Mo Fan was a bit reluctant, so he used a branch to jump down. When the poisonous insect was about to attack the woman, he hugged the woman and took her away from the spot.
"Zizhou!"
"knew!"
Zizhou immediately threw out the ice chain, which directly trapped Mo Fan and the girl. Mo Fan also jumped out of the poisonous insect's attack range with the help of Zizhou's force, but the woman actually fainted.
After leaving, Mo Fan activated the shadow system and brought himself and the girl to the cave. Zizhou was not surprised by Mo Fan's appearance, but just looked at the person he was holding.
After observing for a while, Zizhou found that this person was poisoned. He must have been accidentally poisoned when fighting with the poisonous insect just now.
Fortunately, the toxicity is within their detoxification range, so there is no need to worry about this person dying here.
"What should we do now? She hasn't woken up yet. I guess we have to wait until she wakes up before we can leave."
Perhaps it was because Zizhou and Mo Fan were talking a little too loudly that the woman woke up. When she saw Zizhou and the others, she sat back warily.
“Who are you!?”
After saying that, he checked himself to see if there was anything unusual. His shoes were taken off and his pants were rolled up to his knees. What he didn't expect was that the poison on his feet was also lifted.
Seeing her alert look, Mo Fan hurriedly explained.
"Well, we saw you being chased by a poisonous insect, so we rescued you. We didn't mean to hurt you. We even cured the poison on your legs. If Zizhou hadn't said that there are differences between men and women, I might have helped you wash your pants. After all, they were poisonous. Now we just cut off the poisonous part, and the rest is rolled up to your knees."
The woman followed Mo Fan's words and looked at her pants. Just as Mo Fan said, she looked at Zizhou, who had been silent since a while ago. The firelight reflected on Zizhou's face, which made him look a little dazed.
"If your injury is not a problem, you can leave at any time. We don't want anything. We just saved you. You don't have to worry about us having any other intentions. We will leave tomorrow."
Zizhou didn't look at her, but just looked at the meat in his hand and observed the roasting process.
"Thank you for saving me! My name is Liman."
Seeing her sincere thanks, Mo Fan warmly invited her to rest by the fire and gave her a skewer of barbecue. Zizhou did not stop him.
Perhaps feeling Zizhou's rejection of her, Liman did not sit next to Zizhou. Instead, she sat against the wall and ate meat in silence.
Zizhou doesn't like to get along with people he doesn't know, and he also doesn't like to get close to women. Especially this kind of capable woman, who obviously came here with a purpose. He didn't like to get involved. Mo Fan, on the other hand, liked to flirt and show his courtesy to both beautiful women and girls, but he was still very sensible and didn't make people feel disgusted.
"So you came here for that earth-type spirit seed as well?"
"No, I'm here to investigate something. This valley is very unusual!"
But she seemed to have thought of something and looked at Mo Fan, who was the most talkative.
"Can I trouble you with something? It's a matter of life and death!"
After hearing her say this, Zizhou turned his head to look at her, waiting for her next words.
Maybe it was because Zizhou's gaze was too obvious, or maybe it was because Zizhou could respond to things related to life, her first impression of Zizhou changed. In her opinion, maybe Zizhou was a little cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
"I came here with a team of magic hunters. If this is the territory of that poisonous insect, they will be in danger! We must stop them from going any deeper!"
Zizhou thought about it and realized that when he rescued Liman just now, he did not see anyone around her. Zizhou also noticed that the poisonous insect seemed to be injured. He didn't know whether it was caused by the previous injury or Liman's magic.
At this time, there was some movement outside, which seemed to be the same as the movement when Li Man was rescued just now. Zizhou and Mo Fan walked towards the cave entrance to see, and found that a guy using wind system was avoiding the lizard-skull monster. Seeing that he was about to be exhausted, Mo Fan shouted.
"Hey, little brother, don't be upset. There is a way here!"
Li Man also pointed out the direction anxiously.
"This way!" This way! "
The man who used the wind element jumped up with the help of the wind, grabbed Mo Fan's outstretched hand, and entered the cave.
Zizhou threw the ice magic down, which exploded directly among the lizard-skull monsters, freezing them one by one.
"Hiss!~~Zizhou, this trick of yours is really good, so convenient!"
Zizhou straightened his clothes and rolled his eyes at Mo Fan, looking a little disgusted at the shining eyes of Mo Fan.
"This can only be used in this situation. If you have teammates or friends around, this magic cannot be used."
"It's okay. If I encounter this situation next time, I can use it too. The principle is the same anyway."
"Okay, okay! I'll teach you when we get back."
Perhaps because there were outsiders present, Mo Fan did not continue to let Zizhou teach him.
At this time, Mo Fan and the other two who were originally in the cave looked at the person they had not noticed just now.
"Thank you for saving me, otherwise I would have been in such a mess!"
Mo Fan smiled cheerfully and waved his hands, quite impressed by the fact that the other party could fight off so many giant lizard-skull monsters by himself.
"You're welcome, brother. You're really good at this. You're so fast. You must be at the middle level of the wind system, right?"
"Brother, your voice sounds so familiar."
"I think so too!"
Li Man next to him kindly gave him a ball of light. Now the originally dark cave suddenly became bright, allowing Mo Fan to see the other person's appearance.
"monkey!?"
"Brother Fan?!"
The two of them hugged each other excitedly, and you would have thought they were dating in person.
Zizhou thought it was a bit awkward to stand at the entrance of the cave and reminisce about the past, so the four of them sat by the fire again and continued to eat the barbecue. Mo Fan introduced Zhang Xiaohou to Zizhou, and also introduced Zizhou to Zhang Xiaohou. They were all Mo Fan's brothers, so Zizhou admired Zhang Xiaohou's behavior of taking the risk to find Mo Fan. At the same time, during the chat, Zizhou found that Zhang Xiaohou's personality was very much to his liking, so after a while, they were chatting happily.
Li Man was more anxious to find the team of magic hunters that had entered the mountain, but Zhang Xiaohou told Li Man everything he had just seen.
It turned out that the team of magic hunters encountered poisonous insects while searching for spirit seeds. Some of them fell into the lake and melted, while others were poisoned to death. None of them survived.
There was no point in being anxious now. I didn't expect that the team of hunters would die so quickly.
