Xia Yixin thought for a moment and decided to go with him. Her reasons were very good: "First of all, Han has been gone for a day and a night and hasn't come back. Something must have happened to him. He's very likely injured. I'm a witch doctor and I can help. Secondly, I suspect there's something wrong with that flower. If someone who doesn't understand it goes there, they might also get poisoned. Besides, I also have a drug that can temporarily paralyze wild animals. I can help with that too."
Rui objected, but he had no say. The old witch doctor pondered for a moment and then agreed.
For safety reasons, they waited for several hours before setting off at dawn.
Before departure.
She had just stepped out of the tent when suddenly, she found herself holding something round and bumpy.
When she looked, she found it was an egg from some kind of bird, still warm, and about the size of a modern chicken egg.
Rui said with a stiff face, "Hurry up and eat, then we'll get going!"
He really didn't understand why she wanted to come along, but he remembered what the old witch doctor had said to him when they talked alone earlier: "Rui, do you remember when Han came back after chasing Xiao? He told me that he had been poisoned by the Shadowless Flower and that a witch doctor had saved him. I guessed that it might be this child. And, Han's expression at the time... He was willing to give her the chain his father gave him. Maybe she is Han's future partner!"
Although Rui is straightforward, she is extremely loyal to Han. If she is truly Han's future partner, Rui will remain loyal to her, even to the point of sacrificing her life.
Faced with the suddenly intense gaze of the tall Rui, she stiffly made up an excuse, "I'm not hungry yet," put the bird egg in her pocket, and then tossed it into her storage ring.
It's not that she was disrespecting someone's feelings, but rather that she has psychological trauma.
Because she remembered the time she helped females give birth in the Eagle Clan. Can you imagine the impact on her when a humanoid female gave birth to a bird egg the size of a human head?
Anyway, ever since then she's had a strange phobia of "eggs." But then again, I wonder if Xiao went back or what his expression was when he saw her letter... Anyway, the good news is that she hasn't heard any warnings about the male supporting character's happiness level decreasing.
Perhaps she was just imagining things?
She was somewhat self-deprecating.
Rui transformed into a gray snow wolf, carrying Xia Yixin and leading three members of his tribe, following the scent, and rushed into the depths of the dense forest.
Da Hua was left with the tribe by Xia Yixin to serve as a guard temporarily.
Along the way, the trees became increasingly lush, and the sunlight was blocked out. Xia Yixin discovered many yin-type plants and herbs along the way.
This further confirmed her previous suspicion that the only prescription for treating smallpox she had was the one she currently possessed, and there was no way it could be a milder one, unless a strong painkiller or hallucinogenic herbal medicine was added.
Based on the old witch doctor's description, she thought of the Ghost Flower, an addictive plant that numbs the senses. In modern times, it would be a banned drug, and who knows what it would mutate into on this continent.
As she was deep in thought, she suddenly felt something fly across the sky. She looked up, but all she saw was a clear blue sky.
Strange, could it be her imagination?
They passed through a vast, untouched forest, filled with tall vegetation and numerous low- to mid-level beastmen. It took them half a day to barely reach halfway into the forest.
There was something strange that happened during that time.
During a break, Xia Yixin munched on some dry roasted meat and casually remarked, "It would be nice to have some fruit to eat."
To their surprise, they hadn't gone far when they found a pile of fruit lying on the ground, as if someone had deliberately piled it there.
Rui and the others immediately sensed danger, but after searching around, they found no suspicious people or beasts. In the end, Xia Yixin couldn't resist her cravings and took a bite first. After confirming that there was no problem, they finished off this huge pile of "unexpected delights".
But Rui didn't notice that Xia Yixin was looking thoughtfully at the sky. She had a strong intuition, but she wasn't sure.
Unfortunately, she looked for a long time but couldn't find any trace of the person she was guessing, so she could only keep her guess to herself.
The group continued their journey, and not long afterward...
Suddenly, she smelled a familiar, cool fragrance wafting from the depths of the forest, and she shivered violently.
It's Lu Yan!?
"It's the clan leader! He's in that direction!" Rui's eyes lit up, and he ran wildly toward the direction from which the cold fragrance was coming.
Clan leader, is it Han? Could he really be Lu Yan?
But why didn't he have the scent of the Bai family bloodline when I first met him?
The system, which had been feigning death, suddenly said, "Host, this isn't hard to understand. This plane isn't an ordinary continent. Your internal energy can merge with the beast spirit energy, so the Bai family bloodline might also produce a special chemical reaction."
Reminded by it, Xia Yixin instantly understood. She had been thinking too simply and too rigidly. In the previous plane, two people had analyzed that the main god might be playing tricks.
She had always thought that Lu Yan's Bai family bloodline was invincible, but perhaps it really wasn't on this continent.
Now let's think about it the other way around.
Why did the system suddenly speak? And that cold fragrance is such a coincidence.
"System, are you deliberately misleading me?" she asked coldly.
"Uh..." The system was also impressed by its host's high intelligence, silently admitting that it was hard to fool her. It decided to try anything, so it replied, "I'm just reminding you. Anyway, it's your decision. You've already decided not to date the male supporting character."
It was right, but Xia Yixin felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Suddenly, a dark shadow pounced out from the shadows; it was a high-level tiger beast that was five or six times stronger than them.
