Yunwen and I hugged each other, Bailu and Yuexi could only watch from the side. They seemed a little embarrassed. To take them into consideration, I gently pushed Yunwen away, touched her hot and nervous face, and then stepped back a little. After all, we all didn’t have enough time now. Finding the devil flower, preparing the antidote, and trying it repeatedly would take a lot of time. There were only two days left. How could we afford to waste it?

"Everyone listen to me, we don't have much time left, so don't say anything extra. Just follow my instructions now. Yuexi, the three of us need to find an antidote, but Longcheng is facing a food crisis right now, and we are too busy to handle it. If you can help, can you rush to Longcheng and bring back that cup of nectar of life, and help fertilize the fields to solve our food crisis? If you can, I will be very grateful." I said.

Su Yuexi nodded and said, "Okay, this is a piece of cake. I will come back to find you after I finish it."

I shook my head and said, "No need. Lingshang is clumsy, can't cook, and can't do any odd jobs. When you go back, please help me and take over my shift. That's all. I also ask you to stay there for a while until we go back. If the three of us still don't go back to Longcheng in two days, if you are willing, you can help take care of Longcheng. If you are not willing, please dismiss the hyenas and let them find ways to survive on their own, and let Lingshang return to the mountains. Is that okay?"

Hearing this, Su Yuexi couldn't help but hesitate for a moment. To put it mildly, this is called an entrustment. To put it more seriously, it might be a will, an entrustment of an orphan! So she had to think about such a big thing, but it didn't take long before she sighed and said, "Since it's the city lord's entrustment, I'll try my best to do it. The city lord cares about his people much more than himself. I admire him very much."

"What's there to admire about you? If it weren't for me, the girl might have rescued Yunwen and got the antidote by now, and we wouldn't have to go through so much trouble. So you helped me so much this time. If you have any requests in the future, as long as I, Zhou Bo, can agree to it, I will definitely help you. I never joke." I said.

"Okay." Su Yuexi said with a smile.

But at this time Bai Lu walked over, whispered in my ear, and said mysteriously: "Zhou Bo, you gave her so much life nectar, what if she took it all for herself? Besides, this woman seems to have some skills, and she can fly around. Maybe she is a monster. Have you forgotten that only Mei Sanniang can fly? What if such a good thing falls into the hands of a monster and is used for bad things?" Bai Lu said.

"Do bad things?" I sneered, and then said: "No matter whether it is a human or a demon, you are the only one who is most capable of doing bad things. How dare you say that?"

When Bai Lu heard this, her face turned green and red, and she muttered, "I was doing this for your own good, but you took my kindness for granted."

I took the cup out of my backpack and Yuexi took it. When our hands touched, we both felt an electric shock. She coughed, took the cup, and said she would definitely finish it for me. I expressed my gratitude and sent her away. I heard Bailu went to talk to Yunwen again.

"Sister Yunwen, it seems that your favor will be taken away." Bai Lu said.

I was wondering how Yunwen would answer, but I heard Yunwen laugh and say, "At least I am still favored by you, and that's enough."

Song Bailu thought she was asking for trouble, but then she gave up. She wanted to escape from that murderous tribe, so she needed to have a good relationship with us. So she couldn't get angry when Yunwen criticized her, and could only put on a forced smile to avoid angering everyone. She was afraid that I would leave her here alone. If she went back to that tribe this time, she would definitely not be able to become the high priestess, and would be skinned and torn apart by the chief.

Seeing that she was obedient, Yunwen and I began to question Song Bailu about the situation. After all, she was an outsider who entered the territory of such a cannibal tribe. Instead of being swallowed up, she was treated as a VIP and was about to become the high priest of the tribe. The short chief even planned to take her as his wife. This was too strange. She was the same as us, so why was she treated differently?

Furthermore, if the chief was a person who loved beauty, why did he treat Yunwen in such a rude way when he saw her? After all, Yunwen was tall and had long legs, and her appearance was not necessarily inferior to Bai Lu. The difference was not much, but there was such a huge gap. It was too weird.

The only reason, I think, is related to Bailu itself, so we need to understand the cause and effect clearly.

I only knew that Bailu had to go to that tribe to seek the nectar of life because of possession, and I knew nothing else. So we took the opportunity of a break to ask about it. Bailu didn't intend to answer at first, but when I threatened not to take her back, she still told me obediently. It turned out that she stole a jade pendant from the dragon's clothes when the dragon turned into a human form that night. With that, the cannibals didn't hurt her life, and they thought she was the dragon's messenger, and when they treated her like an ordinary person, they let her go.

After saying that, she took out the jade pendant. Yunwen and I took a look at it. It was a purple-black stone jade pendant, quite beautiful, with a black fish engraved on it. I don’t know why the evil dragon would wear a black fish jade pendant. Bailu said that the black fish jade pendant could speak. It was it that taught her to go to this place and saved her life at the critical moment.

I was a little unconvinced, so I held it to my ear and listened for a while, but there was no sound. Yunwen also tried it and shook her head at me. As for why only Bailu could hear it, we don't know.

You don't know until you ask. Once you ask, you get a key clue. It seems that the cannibals are quite afraid of this jade pendant. Although I don't know why, it is useful after all.

"Okay, leave the jade pendant with me first. It's getting dark now. Bailu, you said you know where the garden is, so take us there now and we won't waste any more time," I said.

Bai Lu also saw that this jade pendant was her way out. Now that I have the jade pendant in my hand, she can only be loyal to me and Yunwen, and cannot use it for two purposes at the same time. In this way, I have cut off her way out, which is also a protection for Yunwen and me.

To find the location of the devil flower, you have to cross the river first, then quietly avoid the swamp area, try to walk around the cannibal village, find it quickly before it gets completely dark, and pick the flower so that Bai Lu can develop it as soon as possible. This is the plan, but there is still a problem, that is, the place where the devil flower is located is also where the devil flies gather and feed. What if they are attacked by a group of them?

Furthermore, I was also very surprised. The demon flies were so poisonous that they would lay their eggs in the human body and feed their larvae with the flesh and blood of others. Why did the Wutu people keep them for breeding? What was the reason? Could it be that they liked others to lay eggs in their bodies? This was too morbid.

However, we didn't have much time to discuss the matter in detail. We rested for about five or six minutes to recover our strength and some of our frightened state, then we set off again. As there were so many people, Sanfu couldn't carry so many people at one time, otherwise it would not only affect its flight but would also be dangerous for the passengers and prone to accidents.

So they split up in two times, one time to carry the two girls, and one time to come back to carry me. We reached the other side, and then Bai Lu acted as a tour guide in front, leading the way, and the two of us followed on horseback behind.

We arrived at the other side of the river again and passed through the strange forest. Those ghost vine trees looked even more enchanting and terrifying in the evening. When the wind blew, they rustled, as if thousands of demons were baring their fangs and claws, which was creepy to look at.

This time we did not go to the road through the bushes, but chose to go along the river to bypass the dangerous area first. However, this deadly river was not only extremely smelly, but also kept bubbling. I always felt like something was about to come out, and it felt like we were neither close to the river nor away from it. The saying "there are tigers in front and wolves behind" probably had this feeling.

I have become a meat sandwich.

When we were halfway through the journey, Bai Lu suddenly stopped us. I also heard footsteps and heavy breathing nearby. We quickly found a tall bush and hid inside. It seemed that the Wutu people had come out to search for us.

But they seemed to be some distance away from us, and the sound was always at that end, which meant they were relatively far away from the river. Did they think we were definitely not by the river? How stupid!

But I soon regretted my thought, because at this moment I felt a chill at the deadly river behind me...
