EBE Chapter 103 Nearly Encountering Danger
Chapter 103 Nearly Encountering Danger
Just thinking about it makes Shen Ruci want to laugh.
It was still that helpless smile.
Bai Yujin was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
Oh, I see. You make money off people like that.
She felt uneasy.
Hey……
I'll try to find Chief Yu when I have time.
She gave him some medicinal formulas.
Let the soldiers make more. She also has the regular version of the prescription, but the effect is a bit slow. Never mind, we can just prepare an extra prescription with better efficacy.
It's estimated that we'll be able to bring back more valuable medicinal herbs soon, at which point we should be able to make them. It's good to make more so that we can take a pill to recover our health whenever we're on a mission.
"Okay, let's go."
As they were talking, Bai Yujin simply took out four more bottles and handed them to Qin Ke and Bai Fengrui, but they didn't take them.
He glared at them irritably: "Here you go, take it. You don't need to buy any. There aren't many pills left. Just take them."
Qin Ke and Bai Fengrui exchanged a glance.
They both saw surprise and hesitation in each other's eyes.
They knew that Bai Yujin's elixirs were extraordinary.
Each one is priceless, but the key is that they can't buy them even if they want to, mainly because they don't have wireless phones. If they did, they would have bought them long ago.
But now, Bai Yujin is giving it away for free.
How could they not be shocked?
Qin Ke hesitated for a moment, looking at Bai Yujin with a very complicated expression, and then said, "It's too precious, I dare not take it."
Bai Fengrui chimed in, "Yes, I wouldn't dare take it either. By the way, I wanted to ask, are you a cultivator? It's okay if you don't want to answer, I'm just curious."
Bai Yujin was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "I'm not some kind of cultivator. Cultivators only exist in novels. I prefer refining pills, mainly for strengthening my body. And since I'm a martial artist, I..."
Bai Fengrui was somewhat surprised as he listened to her explanation.
No wonder she always carries a soft sword.
He was both a martial artist and an alchemist.
"A martial artist, huh? No wonder. I'm sorry, my question was rather abrupt." Bai Fengrui looked at her somewhat embarrassedly and scratched his head awkwardly.
Bai Yujin waved her hand casually and said, "It's alright, take it quickly. We need to leave as soon as possible, or we won't be able to stay any longer."
Qin Ke and Bai Fengrui exchanged a glance.
He finally nodded and accepted the elixir bottle.
If they refuse again, it will seem pretentious.
Moreover, these pills can indeed save lives on a deserted island.
"Then we would be disrespectful."
Qin Ke felt a surge of warmth welling up in her heart.
"Thank you for your generosity, Yujin." Bai Fengrui felt nothing but gratitude and emotion. If it were anyone else, they would probably have asked for an exorbitant price.
They were just lucky to have met Bai Yujin.
Bai Fengrui spoke up to remind us, "Let's go. It's cold and time is passing quickly. Let's see if we can find the Golden Fir Spiritual Treasure first."
"Well, let's go."
The two quickly packed their things, and the four of them headed deeper into the forest. They didn't encounter much danger along the way, which was considered lucky.
If we really encountered them, I probably wouldn't be able to beat them in a fight.
We headed north, observing our surroundings from time to time.
I was afraid of missing any place.
There are still some dangers deep in the forest.
Especially unfamiliar islands.
Nobody knows if a giant snake will appear in the next second.
The group continued walking forward.
It's about seven o'clock now.
It was already bright outside.
A gust of cold wind swept in, making people shiver.
Qin Ke quickly wrapped his cotton-padded coat around himself; it was the coat he had brought.
It wasn't very thick, so it couldn't keep out the cold winter.
This is so cold! It's unbearable!
Going out to find medicinal herbs in the dead of winter is truly a living hell.
Hey……
However, the list includes the names of four people.
I can't come, but if I don't come, I feel bad.
After all, it was to find medicinal herbs for the leaders.
I just hope we can find this thing as soon as possible.
Once we find it, we can return to camp as soon as possible.
But fate just wouldn't allow it.
They searched for half a month without finding it.
However, we encountered some annoying fellow along the way.
……
...
Bai Yujin frowned slightly.
Looking around, in broad daylight, there was no sunlight at all, only a layer of white fog. He couldn't help but sigh and say, "Sigh, it's probably due to the weather that fog has started to form."
Bai Yujin was slightly worried.
"This fog has come at a really bad time."
Qin Ke tightened her clothes.
His voice trembled slightly, whether from cold or nervousness, it was hard to tell.
Bai Fengrui's eyes searched through the fog.
His brow was furrowed, clearly indicating his unease with the weather. "We need to speed things up. In this kind of weather, if we encounter any danger, it will be even more difficult to handle."
As soon as they finished speaking, they could vaguely hear a rustling sound coming from the bushes to their left. The four of them stopped in their tracks, and Qin Ke looked in astonishment toward the source of the sound.
Looking up, I didn't see anything.
But the sound kept getting louder.
Then, a huge, dark figure sprang out of the bushes, moving with lightning speed, and pounced straight at them.
"Watch out!" Bai Yujin reacted instantly.
Without hesitation, he swung the soft sword in his hand.
A streak of silver light pierced the mist.
It accurately stabbed at the dark figure.
The dark figure let out a scream in mid-air.
Then it fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and stopped moving. Bai Yujin looked closely and saw that it was a huge wildcat. Its sharp claws gleamed coldly in the mist, clearly a predator in this forest.
Speaking of wild cats, where did Xuan Shuang go?
This guy can run incredibly fast, and so can Xuan Yin.
Since the islands merged, the two little guys seemed to have made a pact and disappeared without a trace, as if they were going out on an adventure.
Bai Yujin also contacted Xuan Yin, asking it to bring Xuan Shuang back, but she still hasn't seen the little cub. She's really getting angry.
"That was close." Qin Ke patted her chest with lingering fear. If Bai Yujin hadn't reacted quickly, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Bai Fengrui also breathed a sigh of relief.
He crouched down and examined the stray cat.
It has been confirmed that it is dead.
"This stray cat probably prefers carnivores. There shouldn't be any small animals nearby, like mice or similar creatures; they're likely all hiding, making them difficult to catch."
It just so happened that we were passing through this area, which is why it attacked us. Everyone should be vigilant; wild animals can become even more ferocious in this kind of weather.
Shen Ruci's face was somewhat pale.
I steadied myself and exhaled.
But the aura was almost impossible to dissipate in the fog.
It felt as if it were being weighed down by an invisible weight.
The screams of the wild cat during the attack still echoed in my ears.
The feeling of being on the brink of life and death made his heart race.
Cold sweat trickled down my palms.
The fog around us seemed to be getting thicker.
The shadows of the trees gradually became distorted and deformed in the smog.
It's like a monster that could move at any moment.
Shen Ruci felt a chill rise up his spine.
He forced himself to concentrate.
But the feeling of being spied on grew stronger and stronger.
"Yes, we must be careful. By the way, do you guys feel like there's something watching us in this fog?" Qin Ke's voice was low as his gaze wandered through the fog, trying to find the person watching him.
