Ruan Xiyan, the person involved, was completely unaware of this matter, because she had left the Ice Feather Palace after taking on numerous missions.
She frantically completed tasks based on their difficulty, starting with the simplest yellow-level tasks.
On a treacherous mountain range inhabited by monsters.
Ruan Xiyan, dressed in a light purple dress, reached out and picked a few cockleburs growing on the cliff edge in front of her.
Cocklebur is an excellent herb for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and it will be indispensable for her to refine related pills in the future.
She kept one plant to use for submitting the task, and planted the rest in the medicinal field in the space.
Because the medicinal herb fields are frequently irrigated by the Spring of Life, the herbs grown there not only grow faster than those grown outside, but are also of better quality.
After leaving the Ice Feather Palace, in order to keep a low profile, they did not wear the Ice Feather Palace disciple robes to avoid attracting unnecessary trouble.
Jun Yu wore a long, elegant purple robe that exuded a relaxed yet luxurious feel. The outstanding temperament that he inadvertently revealed between his brows made him appear refined and noble.
He stood quietly not far away, watching Ruan Xiyan pick the herbs with tender eyes.
"Ayan, this task is done, let's move on to the next one."
Ruan Xiyan and Jun Yu headed towards the next mission location.
As Ruan Xiyan walked, she glanced at Jun Yu beside her and asked, "Are you planning to keep following me like this?"
After leaving the Ice Feather Palace, she buried herself in her mission.
Jun Yu neither accepted nor did any missions. He simply stayed by her side, strolling leisurely. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was there for sightseeing.
Sometimes when they encounter monsters, she goes up to fight them, and Junyu digs up herbs for her.
This collaboration even possessed a rare sense of tacit understanding.
“Yes,” Jun Yu said matter-of-factly, “Where else can I go if I’m not with Ayan?”
A dignified inner disciple is now clinging to her, an outer disciple.
Just as Ruan Xiyan was about to say something, she sensed the dangerous aura emanating from the surroundings. She grabbed Jun Yu and pulled him behind her, while a silver needle held between her fingers shot out.
The Silver Soul Needle pierced the tree trunk opposite, piercing through a black scorpion.
The ground was suddenly covered with tiny black scorpions, so densely packed that there was no place to even put your feet.
Ruan Xiyan's eyes narrowed. The appearance of so many poisonous scorpions at the same time meant that she had probably encountered the Two-Faced Scorpion.
Only the Two-Faced Scorpion has such influence to summon so many venomous scorpions.
Just as Ruan Xiyan was thinking this, the poisonous scorpions around her moved aside, making way for a wide path.
A scorpion, hundreds or thousands of times larger than a poisonous scorpion, slowly walked out of the cleared path, its hard exoskeleton covered with green venom.
The two scorpions, which had been raised high, drooped their tails and lay prostrate on the ground as a sign of respect for the two-faced scorpion.
The two-faced scorpion's eyes sized up Ruan Xiyan and Jun Yu, its gaze greedy. "Humans, you've trespassed on my territory, so obediently become my meal and let me have a good feast!"
It hasn't eaten a human in a very long time.
Ruan Xiyan said to Jun Yu, "Find a place to hide yourself."
Whether it's these small scorpions or the two-faced man-tailed scorpion, their entire bodies are covered in venom. If you get touched by their venom, it's no laughing matter.
Although I felt that Jun Yu was not simple, he did not have any spiritual power in his body, and I did not see him use any spiritual power along the way.
However, his extremely fast dodging skills are quite good; he should be able to protect himself by dodging.
Junyu skillfully leaped onto the tree behind him, taking the highest point, and verbally warned, "Be careful."
Seeing his swift movements, Ruan Xiyan couldn't help but twitch her lips.
He then stared intently at the two-faced man, Scorpion Tail, in front of him, his eyes flashing with excitement. "I haven't even had a chance to look for you yet, but you've delivered yourself to my doorstep. Very good, just what I wanted."
"Since you're so easy to deal with, I'll go easy on you."
As soon as Ruan Xiyan finished speaking, she rushed towards the two-faced man, Tail Scorpion.
The two-faced scorpion understood Ruan Xiyan's meaning and felt that his authority had been greatly challenged.
It let out a roar, but before the roar was finished, it was punched in the chin.
"Stop yelling, it sounds awful." Ruan Xiyan directly stopped its unpleasant barking.
She watched as a crack appeared in the ice crystals surrounding her fist. She shook her arm, and a new layer of ice crystals covered it.
"This shell is pretty hard. Watch how I smash it."
Ruan Xiyan held a dagger made of black iron in one hand and clenched her other fist, which was covered with sharp frost spikes formed from ice crystals.
Two-Faced Scorpion was initially stunned by the punch, but after recovering, he was filled with rage.
It was actually beaten by a human! This is a disgrace and unforgivable!
It continuously spewed green venom towards Ruan Xiyan, while simultaneously commanding its smaller scorpions to swarm her and block her escape route.
"Biqiong, Yaoyao, stop them."
Ruan Xiyan raised her hand and released the two beasts from the space.
Yao Yao drinks the Fountain of Life every day in the Wind Spirit Space, and has transformed from a little creature into a huge white bird with smooth and glossy white feathers.
Although it is not strong in combat, as a medicinal beast, it has a natural ability to suppress poisons.
"Yes, Master," Yao Yao replied in a soft, sweet voice.
"Don't worry, Master, I guarantee that not even a single scorpion can bother you," Biqiong said confidently, gathering her power within her body.
Dozens of fireballs hovered above its head, and under the control of the Azure Sky, they were thrown into the swarm of poisonous scorpions, and a burnt smell gradually wafted out.
Not to be outdone, Yao Yao flapped her huge wings, and the strong wind sent the scorpion flying.
The wind carried with it the medicinal powder attack unique to the medicinal beast clan. The powder landed on the scorpion, instantly causing it to collapse to the ground.
With Biqiong and Yaoyao blocking the surrounding poisonous scorpions, Ruan Xiyan focused all her attention on dealing with the big two-faced scorpion.
She used her spiritual power to erect an ice wall in front of her, blocking the flying venom.
Countless ice spikes detached from the ice wall, hurtling towards Two-Faced Scorpion with unstoppable force.
The two-faced scorpion raised its sharp tail to defend itself. Although most of the dense ice spikes were shattered, a few still landed on its thick shell.
The two-faced scorpion scoffed, "Your attack is like a tickle to me. Don't resist, why not just be my food!"
Its scorpion tail lashed out at the ice wall, causing it to crack and collapse.
"Then let's try this." Ruan Xiyan didn't give it a chance to breathe, and the power of ice and snow covered the ground.
Layers of frost formed on the ground, spreading rapidly and quickly freezing all of the two-faced scorpion's legs, restricting its movement.
