The dozens of large men around him immediately responded in unison when they heard the young man's cry. Their orderly voices caused everyone to repeatedly glance at them. Even the Little Fairy Doctor, who was walking forward, glanced back. She was extremely satisfied with this reaction. The young man smiled and took two quick steps forward. He walked side by side with the Little Fairy Doctor and earnestly protected her.
"Dammit, isn't he just relying on the fact that his father is the captain of the Wolf Head Mercenary Company? Could it be that he thinks that he can obtain the Fairy Doctor's heart with this?”A mercenary beside Xiao She immediately cursed softly when he saw the young man who was able to get close to the Little Fairy Doctor and chat. He narrowed his eyes and swept them over the young man. Finally, his gaze paused on a badge on his chest.
A one-eyed wolf's head was carved on the badge. His gaze skipped over the young man and looked at the thirty mercenaries who wore the same badge on their chests. It seemed that these people should be the Wolf Head Mercenary Company, one of the three major mercenary companies in Qingshan Town. Looking at the degree of protection these Wolf Head Mercenary members gave to the herb gathering team, it was obvious that they were also hired guards by the Thousand Medicine House.
Moreover, it seemed that the Ten Thousand Medicine House's trust in the Wolf Head Mercenary Company was much greater than the scattered soldiers in front of them. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent them as personal guards. They marched with heavy steps towards the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts. Outside the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, everything was relatively calm. However, not long after the group entered the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, they encountered a small scale attack by Magical Beasts.
The attackers were three Class 1 Magical Beasts. Scarlet Ice Snakes. This kind of Magical Beast was quite common in the outer regions of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Its attribute was ice, and ice contained a cold poison. If the poisoned person was not treated within half a day, the cold poison would freeze the blood in their bodies until they died. Three rank 1 Scarlet Ice Snakes were suspended on the tree branches. Taking advantage of the fact that the people below were not prepared, they easily injected the cold poison into the bodies of the three mercenaries with lightning speed. The three men, whose faces were as pale as ice sculptures, immediately felt their limbs turn soft from the cold.
Everyone immediately attacked in anger after being attacked. A moment later, the three rank one Magical Beasts were beaten to death as expected. After killing the three rank one Magical Beasts, they did not manage to find even the slightest trace of a Monster Core within their bodies. It was not rare for them to return empty-handed after paying a heavy price for killing Magical Beasts in the wild. Therefore, they did not feel too disappointed.
After the Scarlet Ice Snake was dealt with, the three mercenaries who had been poisoned by the Cold Poison were swiftly sent to the medicinal gathering team at the back. The Little Fairy Doctor personally helped them expel the Cold Poison from their bodies. After the Scarlet Ice Snake's attack, the mercenary group became even more cautious. It was clearly impossible to completely avoid the Magical Beasts in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, which was densely packed with Magical Beasts.
The group had walked less than five hundred meters when everyone was attacked by three waves of Magical Beasts. Fortunately, the mercenaries had the advantage in numbers. At the cost of a dozen mercenaries suffering light injuries, they repelled all three waves of Magical Beast attacks. Following in front of the exploration group, Xiao She also directly participated in a battle. Although he was carrying Xiao Yan jie-jie, it did not affect his fire control standard.
The strength that Xiao She had displayed still caused the surrounding mercenaries to look at him in a different light. However, with their standards, they would only think that Xiao She only knew a high level fire affinity Dou Technique. Looking at his strength, it's indeed true." The cheers of the surrounding mercenaries caused a small commotion in the team.
In this kind of circle where status was determined by strength, as long as you displayed a shocking strength, you would be able to obtain the respect of others. This was a very simple and direct rule." Everyone, we are already close to the herb-picking area. Please take a rest. After walking for so long, everyone is tired.”The lady's soft and crisp voice suddenly sounded in the quiet group after they had walked for a distance.
The advancing footsteps paused slightly and the entire group came to a halt in unison. They eyed the white-dressed lady whose smile did not contain the slightest impurity and nodded their heads in an extremely honest manner. After a swift discussion, the ten plus mercenaries spread out in all directions to be on guard. The rest of them sat on the spot and recovered the energy that they had exhausted from rushing. They placed Xiao Yan jie-jie down and a pale-green 'Energy Recovery Pill' appeared in their palms. They raised their heads and yawned as they gently patted their mouths. Once the pill entered his body, the medicinal power quickly dissipated.
Because of the help of the Qi Returning Pill, when Xiao She had recovered to his peak condition, the surrounding mercenaries were still whispering to each other, waiting for his physical strength to slowly recover. He told the mercenaries beside him to go out to relieve themselves, then once again carried Xiao Yan jiejie on his back and slowly walked towards the small forest at the side. Walking into the forest, the light was slightly dim, but this was the area that the mercenaries had previously scouted, so Xiao She did not have to worry about being suddenly attacked by Magical Beasts. His gaze swept across the surroundings. He was looking for the most suitable place to cultivate.
After walking for a distance, his dim vision suddenly brightened. He raised his head and saw that he had already passed through a small forest. What appeared in front of him was a somewhat steep cliff. At the bottom of the cliff was a lush green forest. His gaze swept across the edge of the cliff, but his eyes suddenly paused. He stopped in front of a plant with a blooming pale white flower at the edge of the cliff. This plant had a blooming pale white flower. Among the faintly blooming flowers, there was a scarlet fruit that was faintly discernible.
Xiao She carefully looked at this plant. After which, he bent down and extended his hand toward the plant, intending to pluck it. Just as Xiao She was about to touch the plant, a small jade-like hand suddenly extended from the cliff in front of him and grabbed at the plant. However, it grabbed Xiao She's hand. The jade-like hand had just touched Xiao She's hand when it became slightly dull before it withdrew as if it had been electrocuted. In an instant, a beautiful face that contained an ethereal aura appeared. It was revealed from the bottom of the cliff.
Her gentle and beautiful face carried a little panic as she looked at the young man in front of her. There was a young lady on the back of the young man. Looking at the beautiful face that had suddenly popped out from the bottom of the cliff, Xiao She realized that this lady seemed to be the Little Fairy Doctor from the herb gathering team. On the cliff, two pairs of eyes stared at each other in a daze until Xiao Yan jie-jie pulled Xiao She's ear.
"Yes... Can you give me a hand?" The Little Fairy Doctor was the first to break the awkwardness. Her voice was a little gentle as she spoke. Xiao She nodded and grabbed the little jade like hand that the Little Fairy Doctor had extended. She exerted a little strength and the latter leaped up from the bottom of the cliff. Her lovely body drew a beautiful arc in midair and she gently leaped onto the mountain peak. Her feet touched the ground as the Little Fairy Doctor softly thanked her and quickly broke free from Xiao She's hand. Her gaze immediately swept over the edge of the cliff without leaving a trace. Her delicate finger brushed past the black hair on her forehead.
His gaze shifted to Xiao She's face and he said softly,""You... You are the mercenary guard hired by the Thousand Medicine House, right?”
"Yes." Recalling the softness in her hand earlier, although this woman's appearance was not extremely beautiful, her gentle and beautiful temperament caused one's heart to be moved. However, in front of Xiao Yan jie-jie, Xiao She did not dare to flirt with women. Seeing Xiao Yan casually agree without any intention of leaving, the Little Fairy Doctor's black eyebrows knit slightly. Her black eyes rotated as her delicate finger pointed at the white plant by the cliff. She said with a smile,"You seemed to want to pluck this herb earlier. Do you know it?”
"This should be a White Orchid Fruit, a mid-grade medicinal herb that usually only grows at the edge of a cliff. There is a large amount of it, but because this kind of medicinal herb is the favorite food of bird-type magical beasts, it is usually eaten by magical beasts as soon as it grows. Therefore, it can be considered a rare item among mid-grade medicinal herbs. If this ripe White Orchid Fruit is sold in a medicinal shop, it should be worth more than four thousand gold coins.”
Surprise flashed across the Little Fairy Doctor's pretty eyes when she heard Xiao She's reply. She said in a somewhat surprised voice,"You've also learned how to identify medicinal herbs?"
"Yes."
"Although those who see it have a share, you were the one who saw this White Orchid Fruit first, so I won't snatch it.”The Fairy Doctor smiled at Xiao She. She squatted down and carefully took out the scarlet red fruit from the flower. After which, she handed it to Xiao She. Xiao She nodded when he saw the Fairy Doctor's actions. This thing was dispensable. Since she did not want it, there was no harm in accepting it.
"Alright, the team is probably going to rest soon. Let's go back.”The Little Fairy Doctor was secretly delighted in her heart when she saw Xiao She accept the White Orchid Fruit. She hurriedly spoke. Seeing the Little Fairy Doctor's somewhat anxious manner, Xiao She was cautious in his heart. He kept the White Orchid Fruit into his bosom and casually asked with a smile as if nothing had happened,"You, why did you run down the cliff just now?”
The Little Fairy Doctor suddenly clenched her hand when she asked this question. A panic flashed across her pretty eyes before she quickly hid it,"It's nothing. Some medicinal herbs grow on the cliff. I merely went down to take a look."”
"There seems to be something under the cliff…。。。。”Yao Lao's voice sounded within his heart. He took a step forward and the steep cliff wall appeared in his eyes. The cliff wall was steep and was covered with rock fragments, strange trees that were randomly scattered, and some bone like things. His gaze slowly swept over the cliff wall and suddenly paused on a mountain wall that was covered by a horizontal tree.
Although the arrangement was extremely ingenious, Yao Lao's reminder still allowed him to discover that something was not right about this place. With the help of the slanted sunlight, one could see the dark black hole on the cliff through the gaps between the trees.。。。。。Immediately, his expression changed slightly. His body hurriedly pulled back. While Xiao She was pulling back, a handful of white dust was suddenly sprayed over and swiftly wrapped around the retreating Xiao She and Xiao Yan behind him.
The white dust wrapped around Xiao She and Xiao Yan for a long while before it was slowly blown away by the breeze.
