Xie Zhou looked down and realized that he was indeed surrounded by miasma. Helpless, he could only reach out and gently rub his hair.
"I was too focused on fighting someone just now, and I didn't realize that I was surrounded by miasma." Then, feeling Luo Fentian's gaze on her becoming increasingly heavy, she could only whine, "Senior brother, I was wrong, okay? I just didn't notice for a moment. Besides, you're here, aren't you? With you here, I'm always safe."
Even a straight man like Luo Fentian couldn't resist such persistent pleading, so he could only curl his lips into a slight smile and use his mental stillness to dispel the miasma surrounding his body.
"That's true, but you must always be careful. There are definitely many gases in Medicine Ghost Valley that we don't understand. Don't move around recklessly. If anything unexpected happens, be sure to summon the spirit insects or me immediately."
Luo Fentian sighed helplessly, shook his head, and looked at the carefree girl beside him. He couldn't help but feel a little helpless. This girl was as carefree as ever.
If it doesn't concern me, I don't care at all. As long as it doesn't harm my body, I don't care what happened.
That's why Luo Fentian always comes to Xie Zhou first when something happens, because he's worried that if he doesn't see Xie Zhou for a while, he might end up crippled again.
She was seriously injured while traveling through time a few days ago, and before she could even rest, she came straight to Medicine Ghost Valley. It's really worrying.
"Senior brother, you're still as long-winded as ever. I feel like there's something really wrong with the two of you, and you insist that I come to you. Your tone of voice and your actions are exactly the same. I strongly suspect that the two of you have been secretly contacting each other behind my back."
Xie Zhou put his hands on his hips and pouted his lips in dissatisfaction, which made the person in front of him feel a slight flutter.
It seems that at some point, the person in front of me started to trust me more and more, and I relied on him for everything, from food and drink to accommodation and transportation.
"Alright, stop joking around. Have you thought about what to do next?" Luo Fentian raised his lips and lightly bit his index finger, feeling the stinging sensation.
It felt like stepping into an unknown region the moment I entered. Although it wasn't my first time in Medicine Ghost Valley, I still felt a little unfamiliar with it.
This place is as complicated as a maze, and it took a lot of effort for me to follow the clues and find my way here to see Xie Zhou.
We absolutely cannot let this guy out of our sight again and disappear from here.
"By the way, who was tracking you just now?"
"The people from the Forgotten Spirit Hall are looking for something that's already on me. They'll probably be sending people to hunt me down soon, so I'll need your help next, Senior Brother."
Luo Fentian sighed softly, extended his index finger, and lightly stroked the bridge of the person's nose in front of him. "From the moment you came to the sect, is there anything you haven't relied on me for? Or is there anything you haven't asked me for help with?"
This repeated occurrence had already made everyone in the sect familiar with Xie Zhou, and they were even more aware that Xie Zhou was not only exceptionally skilled in martial arts but also had a very sharp mind. However, when it came to doing things, he was always willing but unable to do them.
So we often ask everyone to help us with this and that. Gradually, everyone got used to helping out whenever they could, and it wasn't a big deal.
Suddenly, as if they had heard something, the two of them shut their mouths at the same time.
Xie Zhou couldn't help but frown and listen carefully. He slowly moved closer to the source of the sound and suddenly saw that the people from the Forgotten Spirit Palace were bound by vines and tied to the side.
His eyes were filled with fear, and he cried out intermittently, "Save me, save me! If you save me, I will tell you everything."
Xie Zhou felt somewhat confused, but he continued to move forward until he could see clearly what was in the lake.
But in an instant, I felt even more confused. Why would vines grow in water?
Could there be something unknown in this lake?
Although they kept moving closer, they ultimately did not make any move to save that person.
After all, the people in the Forgotten Spirit Palace have deceived him countless times. Who can guarantee that this isn't a ruse?
"Xie Zhou, I know your name is Xie Zhou. If you are willing to save me, I can tell you everything I know without reservation."
The man went berserk as if he had found a lifeline, but fortunately, he was unable to move because he was completely bound by vines and hung over the lake.
Helpless, Xie Zhou took a few steps back, making sure he was at least safe, and continued talking to the man, "Why should I save you? How can I guarantee that if I bring you down, you won't take me back?"
“I know you are very eager to find the location of the monster. I can tell you that it is right under this lake. If you don’t believe me, you can use your spiritual sense to investigate and you will know whether what I said is true or not.”
The person hanging there clenched their fists tightly, unsure of what to do, fearing that they would lose this lifeline at any moment.
Where is Warcraft located?
Upon hearing this, Xie Zhou immediately looked around to make sure no one else was there. He then squatted down and used his spiritual sense to probe the ground. Finally, he sensed a large amount of demonic energy rushing towards him.
He quickly withdrew his hand and took a few steps back, almost getting invaded by the demonic energy.
Then he straightened up and looked at the person in front of him, his thoughts unknown.
It seems this person wasn't lying to him; at this point, he must have grasped at the last straw.
Just as he was hesitating between saving her and not saving her, the monster in the lake seemed to sense his presence, and directly stretched out its vines to grab him, instantly devouring him and hoisting him up as well.
Xie Zhou finally understood what it meant for curiosity to kill the cat. He should have known better than to let his curiosity get the better of him and come over to talk to this person. Otherwise, he would be able to stay safely where he is now.
If we don't find a chance to escape now, there's a real possibility that all our spiritual power will be diluted by that monster below.
She opened her eyes and looked to the side, where she could clearly see that the person's aura was becoming weaker and weaker, most likely caused by being absorbed by the demonic beast below.
Xie Zhou stretched out his fingers with all his might, indicating that he still had spiritual power left. With a wave of his hand, he obtained his natal sword and immediately severed the vines. Just as he was about to fall into the lake, he used the sword to reach a safe place.
Then, he simply rescued the Forgotten Spirit Palace subordinate who was also tied up above. The man was slapped to the ground, panting heavily, as if he had been suddenly rescued. But after only a moment, his eyes changed.
Suddenly, he turned on Xie Zhou with treachery, wanting to fight him.
