Xiao Dai got out of her arms and asked with a worried look on his face, "Are you okay?"
Duan Qingxi said, "It's okay. What could possibly happen to me? I'm just... a little tired."
She was mainly afraid. After all, she could sense the breath of the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox nearby. If the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox had attacked at that time, she would really not be able to escape.
But it’s strange, why didn’t the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox take action?
As long as he took action at that time, she would definitely not be able to escape!
By then, let alone a drop of blood, he would just want her blood all over her body, and she would have no way to stop him!
Xiao Dai circled around her and, seeing that she was really fine, continued, "So what should we do now? The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox must be following us, otherwise it wouldn't have found us so easily. It didn't appear to cause us any trouble just now, so it seems it's confident it can stay with us forever."
Duan Qingxi said, "Perhaps we can be a little more optimistic. Perhaps... that Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, like you, has also lost all its magic, so it can't chase us out. It can only rely on that girl... girl to deal with us?"
Xiao Dai lay down beside her, swung his tail, and placed it at his feet. He said speechlessly, "Do you think those demons and evil spirits are easy to bully? Any ancient magical beast that has lost all its magic can scare the shit out of them? If the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox's magic hadn't recovered enough to fight a large group of evil spirits like the one we just saw, he wouldn't be so stupid as to provoke these messed up things, lest they get entangled and eaten."
Duan Qingxi swallowed her saliva. Even though she still didn't understand why Xiaodai was so sure, she knew very well in her heart that since Xiaodai said so, then the situation must be like this and there was no need to doubt it.
"Then we..."
Just as they were about to say something, someone next to them suddenly groaned, and Duan Qingxi and Xiaodai quickly turned around to look.
Ji Yichen frowned tightly, groaned in pain twice, and then breathed with difficulty.
It can be seen that he woke up and wanted to open his eyes, but he probably felt uncomfortable because he had been hurt and inhaled the smoke, so he couldn't open his eyes immediately.
Duan Qingxi hurried over, "Yi Chen, are you okay?"
Ji Yichen was quite nervous when he noticed someone approaching, but when he heard Duan Qingxi's voice, his body relaxed a little. Then, he realized that Duan Qingxi fed him a pill, and he didn't refuse and swallowed it directly.
After taking the pill, Ji Yichen felt that his body was much more comfortable, and he slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he opened his eyes and took in Duan Qingxi, who was squatting beside him, little by little.
"Ten... eleven..."
Duan Qingxi breathed a sigh of relief when he finally opened his eyes. "You're awake, that's great!"
Noticing that Ji Yichen wanted to sit up, Duan Qingxi helped him sit against the wall and said, "You were knocked unconscious by the smoke and captured by an evil spirit..."
Duan Qingxi briefly described the situation at that time. Perhaps because Ji Yichen had experienced too many things, he was not surprised at all. He just lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Then, he looked at Duan Qingxi and said, "Eleven, don't you find it strange?"
Duan Qingxi asked in confusion, "Strange?"
Ji Yichen seemed to want to say something, but he seemed to have suddenly thought of something and did not say it immediately.
Duan Qingxi had no choice but to ask, "What do you want to say?"
Ji Yichen was still a little hesitant. He looked at Duan Qingxi and said, "This is just my personal guess, but I'm not sure. Eleven, if I tell you, you don't have to take it seriously, but you can pay attention."
Seeing how serious he was, Duan Qingxi nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead."
Ji Yichen finally spoke, "I've always thought Jiusheng was strange. We've known each other for quite a while, but we all know who everyone is and where they come from. Even you and Yun Ting have pretty much explained your identities, but Jiusheng... who he is, what his identity is, and what his true strength is, we have no idea."
After a pause, he continued, "Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I always feel that something is amiss with our experiences along the way, especially what you just told me. When I think about it carefully, I feel like there's someone among us who's been specially planted as a spy. And it just so happens that Jiu Sheng isn't here at this time..."
Hearing this, Duan Qingxi also fell silent.
