Long gone
Lai Shiba moved his bony fingers with difficulty and turned over with all his might.
He was lying on his back, and Yu Li saw that his face was corroded to the point of white bones, and he was breathing out more than breathing in.
Under normal circumstances, he would have ridiculed the sinister orc without hesitation, but now, looking at his dying body and thinking that Fu Ying was still in the terrible poison den, his throat seemed to be blocked by a red-hot iron.
Yu Li unconsciously clenched his fists and thought to himself, nothing will happen...it will definitely be fine.
"...Hey, can you, can you not...just watch? Save, save a life..." Lai Shiba was twitching like in a convulsion, his voice a little weak. When he turned his head to look at Yu Li, he still wanted to cry but had no tears, his whole body was numb from the pain.
Yu Li snorted coldly and turned to return to the cave, but suddenly heard Lai Shiba say, "I... I saw a female inside. Apply... apply medicine to me, and I will tell you about her current condition. Is that okay?"
He was breathing heavily, his breath rumbling like a broken bellows, and it was just a short sentence, but it seemed as if he had used all his strength.
Hearing this, Yu Li turned around without hesitation and returned to Lai Shiba's side.
He was holding a jade bottle, which contained the medicine Fu Ying had left for him. Her unique fragrance still lingered on the bottle.
A trace of reluctance flashed across Yu Li's gilded eyes, but he still sprinkled the powder on Lai Shiba's hideous wound.
He looked at the wounds on his body corroded by the poisonous mist and sneered: "You deserve it."
It's ridiculous that a toad orc with poisonous attributes was corroded into bones by the poisonous fog.
Lai Shiba glared and wanted to retort, but now he was like a beast that had lost its claws and could only swallow his anger.
The medicine the golden eagle gave him was left by the female when she entered the poison den. He could recognize it. It was very effective on wounds. As soon as it was sprinkled on him, the piercing pain was relieved a lot.
Just as he recovered from his shock, he heard the golden eagle barking at him, "How is she?"
Lai Shiba thought of Fu Ying strolling leisurely in the poisonous fog. His eyelids twitched and he looked at Yu Li with a complicated expression: "Who is this female? Ordinary witches don't have her abilities. Could it be that you are from outside the Triangle Sea?"
Yu Li's face suddenly turned cold, and he interrupted him harshly: "Stop talking nonsense! What happened to her?"
Although I just heard Fu Ying's voice and knew that she was fine, I didn't see it with my own eyes after all. Seeing Lai Shiba in such a miserable state, I was still worried.
Lai Shiba lay flat on his back, motionless. "What could possibly happen to her? She's so strong, she's just like at home in the poisonous fog."
Yu Li's tense shoulders relaxed slightly, and he asked, "Have you found the herbs? Why hasn't she come out yet?"
When mentioning this, Lai Shiba's cheek twitched violently and he grimaced in pain.
He gasped, glanced at Yu Li, and said sarcastically, "Of course. Is there anything that can stump this female? She should be able to do anything she wants to do, right? What use are we males to her?"
He had originally planned well. He would wait for the female to be injured by the poisonous fog, and then he would descend from the sky with herbs and act out the scene of a hero saving a beauty. But who could have imagined that the female was not afraid of the poisonous fog at all!
She even didn't know what means she used to make the poisonous fog in the poison cave even thicker and stickier!
Even a beastman with poisonous attributes like him couldn't resist it, but she could actually toss around in it with ease!
This time, he was really unlucky. Not only did he get himself involved, but he also completely offended the female!
Hearing Lai Shiba's strange tone, Yu Li frowned, stood up and kicked him hard.
"Ouch—" Lai Shiba arched his body like a cooked shrimp, trembling with pain.
Yu Li ignored him and turned back to the front of the cave.
His gilded eyes were fixed on the dark cave entrance, with an indelible worry surging in his eyes.
*
After Fu Ying reminded Yu Li, he turned and stared into the depths of the deep cave.
Her eyelashes drooped slightly, a cold light flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she walked in without hesitation.
This place is extremely dangerous. We must find the source of the poisonous fog and ensure that the fog does not infiltrate the Orc Continent.
She is indeed not a good person, and she disdains to be a savior to save the continent, but the mission has not been completed yet. Now, whether for those stubborn fools or for Tuanzi and Changsheng, she can't just stand by and watch.
Fu Ying's slender figure gradually disappeared into the thick fog, with decisive steps.
The deeper you go, the thicker the poisonous fog becomes, and every step feels like wading through a sticky swamp.
Fu Ying swung the long whip in his hand through the air, and the sharp icy air split the poisonous fog, but it would gather again in an instant.
She flicked her fingertips, and clusters of fluorescent light shot out from her fingertips and hovered in every corner.
The bright light shines through the thick fog, casting hazy shadows on the stone walls.
Suddenly, Fu Ying stopped and saw lines of varying depths on the rock wall in front of him, with something engraved on it.
She walked slowly forward, and the fluorescent light dancing on her fingertips illuminated the densely packed ancient totems on the rock wall.
"Mural?" Fu Ying was slightly surprised. The fluorescent light on his fingertips swayed in the poisonous mist, and the marks on the stone wall were faintly visible.
She frowned and stared. The mottled lines on the stone wall were distorted and unclear, making them difficult to recognize.
Fu Ying walked along the stone wall for a distance and suddenly kicked something hard.
When he lowered his eyes, a corroded stone staircase appeared before his eyes.
Fu Ying half-closed his eyes, and with his long whip, he split the extremely thick black fog in front of the stone steps, and then threw out several fluorescent spots.
The halo spread like water waves. When Fu Ying took everything in, he was a little shocked. Altar?
Mottled stone pillars surround a circular stone platform, its surface engraved with bizarre patterns identical to those on the stone wall.
Fu Ying's pupils shrank slightly and his fingertips tightened unconsciously.
She originally thought that this poison cave was formed naturally, and that there might be some source of poisonous gas deep inside. She didn't expect that there would be an altar here. So, was the poisonous fog here man-made?
Fu Ying thought for a moment, then slowly walked up the stone steps and onto the altar.
When they reached the center of the altar, Fu Ying's eyes flashed slightly. She knelt on one knee and hooked something on the altar with her fingertips.
The mottled iron chain, as thick as the wrist, was engraved with dense and strange runes. Just one glance at it and I felt a chill running up my spine from my fingertips, which was very ominous.
Iron chains? Are there such things made of fine iron in the Orc Continent?
Fu Ying pursed his lips, thinking of what he had just seen, his heart sank slightly, and he suddenly exerted force with his fingertips.
“Zheng——”
The iron chains scraped against the altar, making an ear-piercing sound.
However, her strength was obviously in vain. When the chain was pulled back, there was only a broken irregular cross-section.
The things that were originally bound and imprisoned on the altar have long since disappeared.
Fu Ying slowly stood up, and when he let go, the iron chain fell on the altar, making a teeth-grinding metallic sound.
For the first time, a solemn look appeared between her beautiful eyebrows.
