Chapter 27 Leaving the Valley of the Savages
So Bao Shuyu stopped talking and the group continued walking forward, leaving only Chen Mi and a few others behind.
After staring blankly at Lu Yifei, who was lying on the ground groaning in pain, Chen Mi's head started to ache again. He was already beaten like this, should they still go into Savage Valley?
Several little demons jumped out of Yu Xiaoluo's bag. When they saw strangers, they would hide themselves. This was Yu Xiaoluo's instruction to them not to let others discover their existence, otherwise they would have nothing to eat.
As for the Eagles, they've fought together and are already comrades-in-arms, so there's no need to avoid them.
They started chattering and arguing.
Little Fairy said, "Humans love to fight too much. If it were me, I would bite him to death."
Xuanwu raised his head and said, "I'll throw him into the air and kill him."
Little Pearl tilted her head, thought for a moment, and said, "Uh, I'll spit out a lot of silk, count it for him, count it until he dies—"
Other demons: ...
The conversation couldn't continue.
After walking for a while, we encountered Dr. Yao, who was sitting by the roadside in a daze.
Yu Jiangbai rushed over protectively, "Old Yao, what are you still doing here? Those two—"
He was about to ask Lao Hei and the female team member when he saw them lying on the ground not far away, their bodies blackened, and he didn't know whether they were dead or alive.
"They—" Dr. Yao uttered two words, then her voice choked.
Yu Xiaoluo walked quickly to them, bent down, and examined their bodies. Yu Jiangbai then told them about being bitten by the snake and the water monster.
"The poison has penetrated their hearts and lungs; their condition is dire, and they are barely clinging to life."
Yu Xiaoluo sealed their heart meridians, then took out a small box from her cloth bag, and took out two pills from the box, which she gave to each of them.
This is an antidote pill, made from the toxins from Yu Xiaoluo and her four poisonous demon pets, along with several precious Chinese herbs. This pill can both detoxify and poison.
The more potent the poison, the better the effect; this is the so-called "fighting poison with poison."
A short while later, large beads of sweat appeared on their bodies. The sweat was black and flowed continuously like water droplets. As the black sweat was expelled, their skin color gradually returned to normal.
After a while, their breathing became steady. However, they still hadn't woken up.
Seeing this miraculous scene, Dr. Yao excitedly grasped Yu Xiaoluo's hand and shook it repeatedly. "Little girl, what medicine did you just give them? Could you give me one too? I want to study it. If you have the formula, could you give me a copy? Such a miraculous medicine shouldn't be buried in the world. It can save so many people."
"This medicine won't be of any use to you; it uses materials from our Xuyue Mountain, and also—"
There are other ingredients that Yu Xiaoluo wouldn't mention. Was she going to offer up her pets to be ground into pills? Only a few of these pills could be made at a time.
Archer Zhong Ming coughed. "Old Yao, she's Brother Yu's younger sister. Not only is the medicine she brings amazing, but she's amazing in every way. She even saved us. Little Luo, he's Dr. Yao. All three of them are members of our Eagle Team. Our team is complete now."
Yu Xiaoluo chuckled, "I don't deserve it, you are all my older brother's friends, and also my friends."
Zhong Ming corrected her, "You are our little sister, even closer than a friend."
Yu Xiaoluo scratched her slightly messy hair. "Now that you're all here, I'll give each of you a talisman. You guys are always taking too many risks, so don't let this talisman leave your bodies."
Everyone was overjoyed and accepted the amulets that Yu Xiaoluo gave them.
They love adventure so much, living on the edge of life and death every day, what they need most is safety.
After a while, Lao Hei and the female team member slowly woke up. They were still very weak and looked at them blankly. Yu Xiaoluo asked someone to feed them a lot of electrolyte water and some food to replenish the sweat they had just lost.
After drinking water, they gradually recovered and were able to walk with everyone's help.
At this moment, the system's voice finally rang out, "Completed two good deeds, accumulating 5 good deeds points, merit points +9, accumulating 21 merit points. In addition, established a connection with the target, merit points +1, accumulating 22 merit points."
Yu Xiaoluo was furious. "I saved ten lives, why are only two good deeds counted?"
"Because they were rescued in two separate incidents."
"So, saving one person is no different from saving a hundred people?"
"Yes, Master."
Yu Xiaoluo roared, "Don't call me master! I'm not the master, I'm your grandson!"
"Yes, grandson."
"???"
Yu Xiaoluo hesitated for a few seconds, then asked, "What does +9 merit points mean? Does this count as a life? It's clearly 10!"
"No, you only saved nine."
"Ten!"
"Nine."
"Ten!"
"Nine."
Yu Xiaoluo fell silent again, and after a minute, she asked, "What did you mean by making contact with the target?"
"It means to make contact with the target."
"...Okay, you can get lost now."
"Yes, Master."
"He's a grandson!"
"Yes, grandson."
Yu Xiaolu cursed inwardly, thinking, "Once I complete my mission and achieve my goal, the first thing I'll do is tear this damn system to pieces!"
They hadn't walked far when they heard running sounds and strange screams behind them. Turning around, they saw Lu Yifei and his group, with their pig-like faces, scrambling and stumbling ahead of them, yelling, "Corpses! Corpses! So many corpses—"
"Mommy, Mommy, help me—"
Everyone fell silent.

At this moment, Yu Ming and Yu Liang, who had been waiting at the foot of the mountain, were extremely anxious.
Having not seen them come out for so long, even the usually composed Yu Ming couldn't sit still any longer.
Fearing that something had happened to the younger sister and the others, they called the police, summoned a team of officers including Nanshan, and also called some of their own people, preparing to go in together to conduct a search and rescue operation.
I ran into them not long after I left.
Yu Xiaoluo exclaimed happily, "Second Brother, Third Brother, Brother Nanshan! By the way, Brother Nanshan, I was just about to call you."
She pointed to the "zongzi" wrapped around the little toad and then briefly recounted what had happened inside. "Now you can enter this mountain. Those remains need to be dealt with."
Nanshan realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately consulted the highest-ranking leader. The leader sent a large number of people to handle the aftermath. When everyone arrived, they were shocked by the number of corpses in the mountains and the horrific state of those corpses.
This incident was so shocking, involving so many lives, that it was completely beyond people's imagination. The story quickly went viral online, dominating the headlines of various public media outlets.
