"Hehe, since that's the case, Elder Crimson Flame, may I ask about the control over this spatial passage..."
"For the next three years, the ownership of this spatial passage belongs to the Liu family. All you need to do is submit the required offerings to Burning Flame Valley every now and then. Congratulations, Patriarch Liu."
When Elder Chi Huo heard Xiao Yan's question, a smile appeared on his face, and his attitude towards Liu Qing and the others became more amiable.
On the other side, Cheng Yao and his group were completely panicked, but Xiao Fan and the others paid them no further attention...
"Elder Crimson Flame, when shall we proceed to Burning Flame Valley?"
Having resolved the Cheng family's troubles, Xiao Yan, still preoccupied with the Three Transformations of Heavenly Flame in Burning Flame Valley, couldn't help but curiously ask Elder Chi Huo about it.
"This matter was ordered by the Valley Master; I'm afraid we must set off immediately..."
Elder Chi Huo smiled at Xiao Yan, then exchanged a glance with Xiao Fan before speaking.
Upon hearing Elder Chi Huo's words, Xiao Yan and Xiao Fan exchanged a glance. Xiao Fan narrowed his eyes, then looked at Liu Qing and Lin Yan and said, "I originally wanted to stay here for a while, but now it seems we can only get together after we return from Burning Flame Valley."
Upon hearing this, Liu Qing nodded and smiled, "I must thank you for helping the Liu family resolve the crisis. After you return from Burning Flame Valley, we'll drink until we drop!"
Chapter 132 Three Women
Seeing Liu Qing's radiant face, Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan also smiled, a smile they hadn't shown in a long time. They nodded gently, everything understood without words...
Watching Xiao Fan and his group leave with Elder Chi Huo, Liu Qing's face showed a hint of emotion.
"Nostalgic, isn't it? It feels like those days in the inner courtyard were just yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, the two of them have already left us behind."
Noticing the emotion on Liu Qing's face, Lin Yan rushed over, put an arm around Liu Qing's neck, and whispered in his ear.
"........."
Upon hearing Lin Yan's words, Liu Qing's expression remained unchanged, but his words caused Lin Yan's face to darken suddenly.
"Hmm, but what does this have to do with you, a defeated opponent?"
"You little brat..."
Hearing Liu Qing's words, Lin Yan tightened his grip on Liu Qing's shoulder, and a faint energy circulated between the two of them.
"Today I'll show you why flowers are so red..."
On the other side, watching Xiao Fan and the others leave with Elder Chi Huo, Cheng Yao and his group were filled with regret. Who knew that they had already obtained the management rights of this spatial passage, but then these two uninvited guests appeared.
Most importantly, why has the fact that the Liu family knows a seventh-grade alchemist never been released?
Putting everything else aside, if Cheng Yao had known that the Liu family had made connections with a seventh-grade alchemist, he wouldn't have dared to attack the Liu family even if he had two more lives. Unfortunately, it's too late now...
..............
In a lush, verdant land, tall, verdant trees stretched their branches freely, and wisps of rich energy emanated from the branches, forming a light mist around them.
Amidst the mist, several slender figures could be vaguely seen sitting together.
The surrounding scenery was breathtaking, the misty atmosphere shrouded the figure in the center, creating an atmosphere that felt like being in a fairyland...
"Shh!"
Just then, a surge of energy roared out from within the mist, attacking the several hazy figures in the center.
"Humph!"
Faced with the sudden attack, a cold snort rang out, followed by a burst of purple energy that instantly collided with the black shadow.
"Ow~"
A painful growl from a demonic beast rang out, and the attacking shadow was revealed in the counterattack; it was clearly a blue wolf-shaped demonic beast that appeared to be quite intelligent.
However, at this moment, the wolf's body was covered with wounds of all sizes, which were festering and oozing puddles of viscous liquid. Some of the wounds were clearly new and were even dripping blood, making it look extremely gruesome.
Swish!
The blue wolf is extremely fast. With just a slight roll on the ground, it can unleash a speed that even ordinary Dou Wang experts might not be able to detect.
"here we go again!"
Just then, a clear, cold voice rang out. As if to confirm her words, a dense chorus of footsteps echoed from the surrounding mist, followed by the emergence of numerous dark figures from the forest. These were dozens of various magical beasts, ranging in strength from the fifth to the sixth rank. Deeper within the mist, the auras of two seventh-rank magical beasts seemed to emanate, though the auras emanating from these two beasts appeared somewhat disordered and weak…
Dozens of demonic beasts slowly appeared, surrounding the group in the center. A suffocating atmosphere began to spread through the misty forest, and a battle seemed imminent.
"Shh!"
Just as the many magical beasts were about to make their move, a cloud of poisonous mist emerged from the center, enveloping the space around the figure and isolating the magical beasts.
Seeing the mist that had caused them so many losses, the magical beasts, whose bodies bore various wounds, quietly retreated a few steps. Half a month ago, their ranks were several times larger than they were now. But because of this purple poisonous mist, the original group of hundreds of magical beasts, all of whom were below the fifth rank, had been annihilated and decayed.
"Woooooooo~"
Just as the many magical beasts hesitated upon seeing the poisonous fog, a sound that resembled a flute echoed from the depths of the foggy forest. The tone was extremely strange, but as the flute-like melody began, the eyes of the many magical beasts, who had already shown signs of retreat upon seeing the poisonous fog, gradually filled with wisps of scarlet energy.
"Damn it, the voice controlling these magical beasts is ringing out again..."
Within the poisonous fog, a clear, cold voice rang out. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Nalan Yanran, who had separated from Xiao Fan and the others in the Gama Empire.
Behind her were several figures, namely Little Fairy Doctor and Yun Yun.
At this moment, the once elegant Yun Yun now wore a look of weariness and pain, desperately trying to recover her energy and fight for a chance of survival for everyone...
Beside Yun Yun, Little Fairy Doctor was also in very poor condition. Her pale hair flew wildly in the air, her face was deathly pale, and her aura fluctuated wildly, sometimes strong and sometimes weak...
"Ouch~~"
A small, green snake, about the size of an arm, coiled around Little Fairy Doctor's shoulder, nuzzling her cheek affectionately, its forked tongue flicking out as it licked her skin.
"Xiao Qing, you're still so energetic..."
Nalan Yanran looked at Xiao Qing on Xiao Yixian's shoulder and a smile appeared on her face. However, when she thought of the monsters surrounding her outside, her smile became somewhat bitter.
"Sigh, I never imagined that this so-called secret ruin would turn out to be a trap..."
Nalan Yanran and Little Fairy Doctor exchanged a glance, neither of them knowing how much longer they could hold on.
After parting ways with Xiao Fan, Xiao Yi Xian and Yun Yun traveled around the Northwest Continent as planned. With their strength, the two Dou Zong were in no danger at all.
Subsequently, in order to see a wider world, the two decided to go to Zhongzhou, the most prosperous region of Dou Qi Continent. After Nalan Yanran's Dao Heart became clear, her strength improved dramatically. Her talent was already strong, and under the guidance of Xiao Yixian and Yun Yun, she broke through the peak of Dou Wang and reached the terrifying strength of a four-star Dou Huang in just one year.
While Nalan Yanran's strength was rapidly increasing, the one who improved the most among the three was actually the strongest, Little Fairy Doctor.
With Xiao Fan completely resolving the drawbacks of the Calamity Poison Body and helping Little Fairy Doctor awaken the Heavenly Spirit Poison Body, all the problems that had previously troubled Little Fairy Doctor disappeared. She could easily control the toxins in her body without causing any damage.
Meanwhile, all these poisons transformed into nourishment for her strength. Along the way, Nalan Yanran cultivated, and Little Fairy Doctor consumed medicine; Yun Yun cultivated, and Little Fairy Doctor consumed medicine; Nalan Yanran broke through, and Little Fairy Doctor consumed medicine...
Of course, Little Fairy Doctor only ingested poison.
Whatever is poisonous, Little Fairy Doctor eats it. The key is that after eating poison, Little Fairy Doctor's strength can be significantly improved. Therefore, Little Fairy Doctor, who was originally just entering the Dou Zong realm, has now reached the level of a seven-star Dou Zong in the late stage. Such a speed of advancement is simply cheating.
Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran, who followed Little Fairy Doctor on her journey of training, were both discouraged by her.
Later, by chance, the three learned of a ruin here and decided to come and see it. However, as soon as they entered, they fell into a strange formation that allowed them to enter but not leave. The key point is that the formation also sealed most of the strength of Little Fairy Doctor, who was the strongest among the three.
After that, everyone discovered that there were hundreds of terrifying magical beasts within the ruins, with strength ranging from the second rank to the highest. The three highest-ranking beasts were the seventh rank, and one of them even exuded an aura that was close to the peak of the seventh rank.
If Little Fairy Doctor hadn't used her Heavenly Spirit Poison Body to delay the other magical beasts with poisonous mist, and then risked serious injury to kill one of them, the three of them would probably have become food for those magical beasts long ago.
Although they briefly repelled the demonic beasts, the three remained trapped in the misty forest. Unable to break free from the encircling formation, they had no way to leave. As the standoff continued, the original hundreds of demonic beasts were gradually wiped out by the three, leaving only the last and most elite group, which were now watching them intently.
In the last battle, Yun Yun also suffered serious injuries and her aura weakened considerably, so she seized the time to continuously recover her cultivation.
However, upon sensing the horde of magical beasts outside beginning to stir as the sound of the flute began, both Little Fairy Doctor and Nalan Yanran showed a hint of helplessness on their faces.
Fortunately, the two seventh-tier magical beasts didn't personally participate in the previous attacks because they were wary of Little Fairy Doctor; otherwise, how could the three of them have lasted this long?
Unfortunately, after such a long period of depletion, the healing pills in their storage rings were almost gone, and even the poisonous fog that was currently shrouding them was just a show to scare the enemy.
"Unfortunately, it seems we can't hold on any longer today..."
Little Fairy Doctor's face was pale. She tilted her head and stroked Little Green on her shoulder. Looking at this new life form that had evolved from poison, a trace of regret appeared on her face.
Unfortunately, he was not able to see him one last time in the final moments of his life.
Unconsciously, Little Fairy Doctor suddenly recalled that small valley from years ago, the two of them sitting on the steps in front of the wooden house, gazing at the starry sky, making their promise...
Chapter 133 Qing'er Makes a Meritorious Deed
As the sound of the flute from the misty forest outside intensified, the already restless demonic beasts became even more ferocious, their already scarlet eyes looking even more terrifying.
Heavy breathing filled the misty forest, and a raging killing intent suddenly began to boil over.
"Roar~.........."
As a fifth-tier magical beast, its body covered in wounds, lost its mind and lunged at the location of Little Fairy Doctor and her companions with bloodshot eyes, it was the first to act.
The fifth-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf, comparable to a Dou Wang expert, immediately lost its ability to move upon contact with the poisonous mist placed outside by Little Fairy Doctor. It collapsed into the poisonous mist, and the pervasive toxins instantly enveloped its body. At a speed visible to the naked eye, the Azure Wolf's body gradually rotted away, eventually turning into a puddle of pus and disappearing completely within the poisonous mist.
As the blue wolf howled and roared, the other magical beasts could no longer contain their inner turmoil and let out a series of howls before charging towards the location of Little Fairy Doctor and her companions.
As the blue wolf came into contact with the deadly poisonous mist, it only lasted a few breaths before turning into pus. However, these magical beasts showed no fear or apprehension. They continued to roar and spread the poison towards the center.
The already thin poisonous fog was proving insufficient against such a large number of magical beasts...
"Damn it, who on earth is controlling these magical beasts...?"
Sensing the fearless horde of monsters outside, Nalan Yanran's face revealed a look of resentment.
Upon arriving here, they fell into this formation and couldn't find a way out. No matter what they did, they would always end up back inside the formation. Most importantly, whenever that eerie flute music sounded, these magical beasts, who were originally wary of Little Fairy Doctor and her companions because of their strength, would seem to lose their minds and charge at them fearlessly. Otherwise, with their strength, they wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state.
Especially Little Fairy Doctor, with her terrifying Heavenly Spirit Poison Body, was basically not worried about these groups of magical beasts. However, in this specific space, even though Little Fairy Doctor had previously controlled the poison mist to kill all the low-level magical beasts, the remaining magical beasts were all at the fifth rank or above. Facing so many magical beasts, even Little Fairy Doctor's abilities were greatly hampered.
After all, her current Heavenly Spirit Poison Body has not yet fully utilized its advantages, and the toxins in her body have not yet reached their peak. Moreover, when facing so many magical beasts, if the toxins are dispersed, their threat to the magical beasts will be greatly reduced.
