Just as Toria was teaching two girls how to ride her new mount, the guy who had run away earlier came back!
"Help!"
It was the same old routine, except this time there were no magical beasts following him, only the leopard had a limp.
"Please, please save my Wind Chaser Leopard! It's been bitten by a poisonous rat!"
"Didn't you bring an antidote?" Toria asked expressionlessly, after all, this guy had looked gloating just moments before.
"I've tried it, but it didn't work! Commander, please save it!"
The young man breathed a sigh of relief when he discovered that the horned lions were still nearby, staring at him menacingly but not attacking.
"Damn it, now you're thinking of us? We don't have an antidote either, and even if we did, we wouldn't share it with you. Don't you know how potent the poison rats are?" Daisy looked at him with disgust.
"But without the help of my magical pets, I have no way to continue exploring the secret realm!"
"What does that have to do with us? You caused this mess yourself!"
"You! Commander, you must have a way! Please!" The young man looked at Toria, his voice trembling with tears.
"Did you steal their treasure before?" Ellie asked, pointing to the horned lion beside her.
"I...I didn't."
“Big Brother, come here!” Ellie called out, and one of the lions came over.
"Don't force me, I'll just go back!" The young man stood up, unwilling to give up the treasure he had obtained.
"Heh, you won't shed tears until you see the coffin." Luo Fan jumped over and snatched all of his magic bags, and sure enough, he found some good stuff.
"You bastards, give it back to me! That's mine!" the young man shouted, even pulling out a weapon.
Toria blocked the way, looking at the young man in front of her.
"You bunch of robbers, just you wait! When we get out of here, I will definitely denounce your atrocities!"
"As if you can leave." A poisoned scorpion stinger, through his shadow, lightly grazed a layer of skin on his leg, without the young man even noticing.
"We took pity on you, but you dare to threaten us. You ungrateful wretch."
The poisonous rats were highly venomous. Luo Fan saw that the leopard was already lying motionless on the ground. If its hind leg had been cut off when it was bitten, it might have been saved.
With the paralyzing effect of the scorpion venom, even if word gets out, this young man will only face certain death.
"What are you yelling about? Can't you see your pet is dead?" Daisy retorted, looking at the jerk.
"You, it's all because of you! You killed him!" With that, the angry young man took out the jade tablet and activated the magic on it.
A gentle magical power enveloped his entire body, slowly carrying his figure away, while intermittent threats continued to emanate from him.
"You all just wait, I will definitely not let you go~" During the teleportation, he felt his limbs gradually losing sensation, and a strong sense of sleepiness swept over him.
When they returned to where they started, the guard on duty only saw a stiff corpse, with only the jade pendant in his arms still emitting a pale blue light.
In just about a day, someone actually died and came back to life. The administrator sighed and relayed the news.
Within the secret realm.
"Luo Fan, he won't report us, will he?" Daisy was still a little worried, after all, they had indeed stolen his magic bag.
"Don't worry, he won't have that chance." Looking at the leopard's carcass, Luo Fan thought for a while and then gave up.
It's not worth putting your clone at unnecessary risk for a mere magic core.
Luo Fan took out the Wind Spirit Grass and looked at A-Da, A-Er, and A-San in front of him, asking for their opinions.
As a result, the three lions lay down in front, showing no intention of retracting.
"If you don't want it, I'll just keep it?"
The three idiots nodded, looking ingratiating.
"For them, the Wind Spirit Grass cannot help them advance. The allure of the Demon Milk in your hand is much stronger."
Toria explained, having already put away her weapon. She roughly understood what had happened from Luo Fan's actions.
This guy is really ruthless when it comes to dealing with enemies. No wonder he didn't want to tell Daisy about the purpose of collecting poisons before.
Luckily, I was his teammate, otherwise I wouldn't know how to defend myself.
After regrouping, the group rode on the backs of the lions and headed deeper into the dense forest.
The happy Xuanwu has temporarily lost its function and can finally return to its pet space to rest.
Without that annoying slime chattering away, the world is so peaceful and comfortable~.
Without the deterrent power of Xuanwu, they encountered several mid-level magical beasts along the way, around level 55, but only managed to kill one.
These magical beasts possessed a certain level of intelligence; they would immediately flee as soon as they sensed something was wrong, giving Luo Fan no chance to pursue them.
The giant green tortoise that was killed was due to Luo Fan's lack of martial ethics and the use of highly poisonous substances. It took over an hour to finally whittle it down.
"These mid-level magical beasts are too troublesome, let's focus on treasure hunting instead."
After several setbacks, Luo Fan changed his mind about a direct assault. After all, if he really encountered a group of mid-level magical beasts, he would have no choice but to use scrolls to overwhelm them.
Although they managed to wear down the giant tortoise, its magic core was wood-type and it couldn't absorb blood, so it was a huge loss.
Since these poisons are no longer usable, he plans to create another clone here.
The forest ahead grew increasingly lush, with towering trees reaching hundreds of meters in height in the distance. Some of these trees even seemed to have come to life, waving their branches to attack any approaching magical beasts.
Everyone saw a small bird flying by be pierced through a branch and turned into nutrients.
In the dense forest, fallen tree trunks covered with moss were everywhere, creating an eerie atmosphere, and the roars of monsters could even be heard from within.
"Lofan, are we really going in?" Daisy asked worriedly, holding Ellie tightly.
"Let's go in and take a look. If it's really dangerous, we'll come out again!"
“There are probably a lot of herbs here, and some of the branches might even be made into a staff,” Luo Fan said to Daisy as he searched the surrounding space.
Anyway, Xiaoxue would definitely listen to him and had no objections. This gloomy environment perfectly matched Ai Li's dark nature, so she didn't show any reluctance.
"Let's all sit on Xuanwu's back, it'll be safer that way. There are all sorts of magical beasts in this dense forest, so we should be careful."
Toria summoned the Black Tortoise and had everyone ride on its back. The three idiots huddled in a corner, looking very obedient.
“Daisy, let’s go in and take a look. We came here to explore, after all,” Ellie urged, while also staring at the dense forest ahead.
"Okay, as long as I'm with you, I'm not afraid." The little girl held her staff and cautiously looked at the scenery ahead.
With Xuanwu leading the way, the group headed deeper into the dense forest.
