That's all for the ferrets.
Yu Li's eyes suddenly turned cold, and his knuckles formed a sharp arc. "The poisonous gas is rampant in here. Lai Shiba once said that there can be no living things in the poisonous fog. Why did a ferret suddenly appear? This thing came here strangely, and we can't let it go!"
There was a chill in his voice, his expression alert, and his eyes never left the ferret.
Fu Ying glanced at the ferret that leaped lightly from his left shoulder to his right and nodded in agreement: "It's indeed strange."
Her slender fingertips gently touched the ferret's moist nose. The little creature dodged a bit, as if somewhat rejecting such close contact. Fu Ying chuckled softly, "It's a pity, it seems we can't do anything about it."
Yu Li's pupils suddenly shrank, and he said in a deep voice, "What do you mean by there's nothing you can do about it? What does that mean?"
Fu Ying calmly met his gaze and said lightly, "Okay, we've been out for too long, it's time to go back."
As she spoke, her eyes seemed to glance over the snow ferret on her shoulder. The little white ball was curled up comfortably.
She can't deal with this snow ferret, let alone Yu Li?
Moreover, its intelligence is probably much higher than they imagined. After all, the poisonous fog in the cave that can kill people can't do anything to it. If it is really the source of the poison, Yu Li doesn't dare to say what the consequences will be if she angers it.
Thinking of this, a dark light flashed in Fu Ying's eyes. He calmly turned sideways to block Yu Li.
"Fuying!" Yu Li clenched his fingers into fists, and his joints made a slight crisp sound.
He suddenly took a step forward, grabbed her wrist and pressed it against his chest, his golden pupils fixed on Fu Ying. When he met her gaze, his Adam's apple rolled heavily: "I already have the Eight Star Tattoo, I can help you!"
Yu Li's voice was extremely hoarse, with a hint of stubborn pain.
He didn't like her swallowing everything like this!
No matter how powerful she is, she is just a female. In the Orc Continent, females should be held in the palm of the hand and protected by males. Any difficult and dangerous things should be left to males to deal with, instead of her having to bear it alone!
But she has never been a character that needs protection.
Fu Ying stared at Yu Li's forehead, the bright eight-star pattern on it was very dazzling.
She tilted her head, a faint smile forming at the corner of her lips. "Congratulations, you're a proud child of the Eight-Star Mark. I was originally worried that your position as leader of the Golden Eagle Tribe would be shaken after you haven't returned for so long. Now it seems like it should be as stable as a rock."
Yu Li stared at her eyes as calm as water, and suddenly a fishy and sweet smell of rust surged into his chest.
He didn't understand. This female was so close to him, why did it seem like there was a whole world between them?
Fu Ying curled his lips and said, "The herbs are ready. Let's go back."
After she finished speaking, she did not stop and turned to walk towards the Black Crocodile Swamp.
She originally planned to use the teleportation scroll on her way back, but unexpectedly there was an unknown snow ferret, so it was better to be cautious. Some special methods should be used in special times. Perhaps, there will be some unexpected results in the future?
The snow ferret lay quietly on her shoulder, like a fluffy snowball, rising and falling with Fuying's walking. Its dark eyes glanced at the cave shrouded by the formation, and then lowered its eyes quietly.
Yu Li looked at Fu Ying's back as she walked away, her eyes fell on the ferret squatting on her shoulder, her brows furrowed.
He suddenly turned and walked towards the stream. Strands of golden light shone into the deep pool, splashing water several feet high. Under the sunlight, it reflected crystal clear light, and the splashing water droplets fell like a rainstorm.
Fu Ying heard the noise, looked back, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
She almost forgot that there was an "acquaintance" hiding in the deep pool of the stream, the toad orc.
In a moment, fine bubbles gurgled on the surface of the deep pool.
“Crash—”
A slender figure emerged from the water.
Lai Shiba's wet green hair stuck to his pale cheeks, and water droplets rolled down his jaw. His handsome face looked unique. He raised his hand to stroke his face and said through gritted teeth, "Yu Li, you better be okay!"
He has been spending all day with Yu Li during this period. Although they can't be considered friends, they have become familiar with each other.
Lai Shiba was about to continue his attack when he suddenly felt another real gaze.
His heart skipped a beat. When he turned around, he met Fu Ying's narrow eyes that seemed to be smiling but not laughing. In an instant, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his muscles tensed up, even his wet hair froze: "You...you actually..."
He mechanically glanced back and forth between the doorway and the pillars, and shrieked, "You actually made it out alive?!"
At this moment, probably no one could understand the turmoil in Lai Shiba's heart.
In the past half month, all kinds of strange phenomena have occurred frequently in the poison cave. It is obvious that it is abnormal. The poisonous fog inside can kill people. Even an eight-star poison-attributed beastman like him can't withstand it, let alone a female with a cub?
In his opinion, no matter how powerful this female is, she will die in there!
But what did he see now? Her hide was spotless, even her hair shone with pearlescent light, her belly bulged even higher, there were no festering or corrosive wounds on her body, and even her breathing was steady and normal!
She actually made it out safely! Standing here unharmed?
This realization made Lai Shiba's breathing suddenly quicken. He stared at Fu Ying with eyes filled with uncontrollable enthusiasm.
A female who can move freely in the poisonous fog is too precious to a poison-attribute orc.
Just when Lai Shiba was stunned, Yu Li grabbed his arm and dragged him in front of Fu Ying without saying a word.
Lai Shiba stumbled a few steps as he was dragged. Just as he was about to curse, he saw Yu Li pointing a finger at Fu Ying's shoulder and said coldly, "You've been here for so long and have been into a drug den before. Take a look at this. Do you recognize it?"
Lai Shiba shook his wrist which was pinched so hard that it hurt, and grumbled a few words in dissatisfaction.
He followed the direction Yu Li pointed and looked at Fu Ying's shoulder. He was a little surprised: "Snow ferret?"
Lai Shiba subconsciously raised his hand to rub his chin, a flicker of confusion in his pupils. Suddenly, as if struck by lightning, his voice suddenly rose: "Wait—what do you mean? You, you're not... you mean, this little thing came out of the poison den? Poison den? Are there any living things in there?"
A cold light flashed in Yu Li's eyes. He looked at Fu Ying, took a deep breath and said, "You heard it, this thing must not be kept!"
Lai Shiba gasped, "Did he really come out of the poison den?"
As he spoke, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He couldn't help but take a step back, not daring to get close to the ferret.
To him, the fact that the female could come out alive proved that she was indeed a witch favored by the Beast God and had great abilities. However, he did not believe that a ferret that could live in a poisonous den was not poisonous.
Lai Shiba stared at the seemingly harmless ferret, as if he was looking at a vortex of poisonous gas that could erupt at any time.
Fu Ying noticed the increasingly tense atmosphere on Yu Li's body and raised her eyes slightly.
"Yu Li." Fu Ying opened her red lips slightly: "The matter of the snow ferret ends here."
