Bang!
With a dull thud, Xiao Yan's body fell heavily to the ground, causing him to grimace in pain. He
shook his dizzy head and struggled to his feet, using both hands to support himself.
The blow nearly shattered his body.
But the pain soon faded from his mind.
As Xiao Yan climbed to his feet, he suddenly noticed dozens of pairs of green eyes surrounding him.
The next second, the scent of blood wafted inward, sending shivers down his spine.
First-tier magical beasts, bloodthirsty demon wolves!
"Oh my god!"
After staring at Xiao Yan for a moment, the dozens of bloodthirsty demon wolves confirmed the human was harmless and suddenly attacked.
Xiao Yan screamed in fear, turning and running without a second's thought.
His current strength barely reached the level of a two-star fighter. If his various trump cards were taken into account, he could probably fight on equal terms with a one-star fighter.
But before him now lay dozens of first-tier magical beasts!
Each bloodthirsty devil wolf was equivalent to a human fighter.
Most terrifyingly, despite their low level, the bloodthirsty devil wolves were incredibly brutal.
Every human caught in their clutches would be gnawed away, leaving only a bloody skeleton, before ultimately being tortured to death.
Remembering what he had heard about the bloodthirsty devil wolves, Xiao Yan was nearly pissing himself.
However, despite his speed, he was instantly surrounded by dozens of bloodthirsty devil wolves.
Seeing no escape, Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, summoned his Dou Qi, and charged forward against the dozens of demon wolves.
"
Hey, where did that annoying guy go?"
Curious, Little Medical Fairy glanced in the direction Xiao Yan had disappeared, only to find he had vanished as if from thin air.
She had only seen the handsome man wave, so how could that sneaky figure disappear from such a distance?
Little Medical Fairy was baffled.
Hearing Little Medical Fairy's question, Lin Yuan smiled faintly. "He probably thought the demon beasts here hadn't eaten in a while, so he sacrificed himself to feed the wolves!"
Just now, when Lin Yuan spotted Xiao Yan, he had secretly used his power to shock Yao Lao's soul.
His original intention was simply to avoid a confrontation with Yao Lao so soon.
However, Lin Yuan happened to spot a pack of bloodthirsty demonic wolves nearby.
So, he took advantage of the situation and threw Xiao Yan over.
Although he knew that Xiao Yan, the protagonist, would definitely not perish in this small pack,
it was still a good idea to disgust him.
After hearing Lin Yuan's explanation, the Little Medical Fairy was stunned for a moment.
Then, she asked innocently, "Is that man a fool? Why would he sacrifice himself to feed the wolves?"
"Hmm, maybe..."
Lin Yuan clearly hadn't expected the Little Medical Fairy to believe him.
He rubbed the back of his head awkwardly and grinned.
"By the way, my name is Little Medical Fairy. Thank you for what I said earlier."
At this point, Little Medical Fairy had already let down her guard against Lin Yuan. She took the initiative to step forward and extend her hand.
"My name is Lin Yuan!"
Lin Yuan also extended his hand and shook Little Medical Fairy's.
Then, Lin Yuan pointed to a medicinal herb on the cliff edge and said, "You want this herb?"
Looking in the direction of Lin Yuan's finger, Little Medical Fairy nodded eagerly.
"Okay, wait a moment then."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yuan's figure disappeared in an instant.
This startled Little Medical Fairy.
Oh my god, how could this man be so powerful?
She hadn't even seen what was happening, how had Lin Yuan vanished?
Before Little Medical Fairy could react, Lin Yuan reappeared beside her like a ghost, clutching a medicinal herb.
"Here, here you go,"
Lin Yuan thrust the herb into Little Medical Fairy's hand.
"How...how did you get it?"
Little Medical Fairy covered her mouth in shock.
She felt only a flash of light before Lin Yuan handed the herb to her.
Even a Dou Shi-level expert couldn't be that fast, right?
Could it be that Lin Yuan was a Grand Dou Shi-level expert?
At that point, in Little Medical Fairy's eyes, a Grand Dou Shi was already a prestigious figure.
She had no idea that the person standing next to her was a legendary Dou Zong-level expert.
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "I'm quite capable. Picking a single herb is a piece of cake."
Just kidding! A mere cliff is nothing to Lin Yuan.
"Uh..."
Lin Yuan finished, and Little Medical Fairy's face darkened. How could this person be so utterly lacking in humility?
After a moment, Lin Yuan suddenly glanced down the cliff face and said with a half-smile, "Little Medical Fairy, you left the group in the middle of the night and came here. I'm afraid it's not just for a single herb, right?"
Just now, while fetching herbs for Little Medical Fairy, Lin Yuan had released his soul power and located the cave mentioned in the original novel as containing the Seven-Colored Poison Sutra.
"I..."
Little Medical Fairy hesitated.
A month ago, while gathering herbs in the mountains, she had stumbled upon a cave.
She had gone in to investigate once before, but only made it halfway before retreating.
The cave was hidden within, presumably the former abode of a powerful figure.
This time, Xiao Yixian had made thorough preparations, sneaking out late at night to explore that mysterious cave once more.
While Xiao Yixian wasn't naive, she wasn't foolish. Years of dealing with mercenaries on the brink of death had taught her the treacherous nature of human nature.
She was always wary of strangers.
She hesitated. What if Lin Yuan learned the cave's secret? What if he murdered her to silence her?
Seeing Xiao Yixian's hesitation, Lin Yuan smiled, but said nothing.
He could guess what was going on in Xiao Yixian's mind, but he didn't point it out.
Truth be told, having thoroughly read the original novel, Lin Yuan knew exactly what lay within the cave.
However, to him, those things were nothing more than a pile of junk, something he simply disdained. He
had come here simply to prevent Xiao Yan from gaining his chance.
"Come on, I'll go treasure hunting with you."
Without further ado, he reached out and grasped Little Medical Fairy's wrist.
Then, carrying her, he sped towards the cave.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Little Medical Fairy exclaimed. Before she could react, Lin Yuan grabbed
her and ran away. Having been touched by a man for the first time, her face flushed a few times.
