In the huge underground cave, a light blue deep sea jellyfish-like transcendent monster floated in mid-air. Its body took up a third of the entire cave.
Its long antennae were waving around in the void, looking rather carefree.
Its body emitted a faint blue light in all directions, illuminating the entire cave.
Lin Huang was hiding in a wall in the cave in his ghostly form, thinking about his next move.
"The only clue I have is the blood stains. I'm not sure if they were left behind by Leng Yuexin and the rest, but I don't have any more clues." Lin Huang decided to investigate further based on this clue.
After retreating a few layers away from the wall, Lin Huang revealed himself in a tunnel. He activated Blood Hunt again to search for the remaining blood scent in the air.
In fact, Lin Huang was worried that he would not find anything before he started his search. This was because hunters would usually treat their wounds as soon as they were injured to avoid being tracked by monsters. This was because many monsters were sensitive to the scent of blood. If Leng Yuexin and the rest were to treat their wounds, the scent would be very weak.
However, Lin Huang was lucky. Soon, he found the remaining blood scent in the air. The direction of the scent was far away from the transcendent monster. Lin Huang was relieved, and he immediately headed in the direction where he had come from.
Along the way, he found a small amount of blood stains. It was obvious that the injured were panicking when they ran away and did not have time to cover their tracks.
Lin Huang followed the blood scent and walked along the winding tunnel for more than an hour. He found a dead body by the side of the tunnel.
The body was leaning against the wall of the tunnel and it was charred black. Lin Huang recognized that it was the young man in the hat who was with Leng Yuexin and the rest.
His body looked like it had been burned by a high temperature. However, Lin Huang did not smell any burning as he activated Blood Hunt. All he could smell was a pungent smell that was similar to that of poison.
Lin Huang saw a wound on his waist. It looked like it was caused by a sharp weapon.
After observing for a while, he left and continued to follow the blood scent since there were no more clues.
"The wound was most likely caused by the tentacles of the transcendent monster. The poison that can turn a person into charred black must have come from the transcendent monster. If Leng Yuexin and the rest were injured, they might have been poisoned as well! " Looking at the dead body of the young man in the hat, Lin Huang knew that if Leng Yuexin was poisoned, she would not be able to live for long. He had to find her as soon as possible. If he waited for her to die, he would have failed his mission.
Soon, half an hour had passed and Lin Huang finally found Leng Yuexin who was lying on the ground by the river.
He panicked when he saw Leng Yuexin, but he was relieved when he did not hear any notification from Xiao Hei. It meant that Leng Yuexin was still alive.
When he got to the river, Leng Leng saw that Leng Yuexin's face and her face, he saw that Leng Yuexin. However, she fainted completely. If Lin Huang did not come, she would probably die soon if she continued to sleep like that.
"I can't believe she walked to the underground river. As long as she walks in the opposite direction of the river, she'll be able to reach the entrance. It's not a problem for her to swim out." However, Lin Huang did not see Li Yanxing and the rest. They must have been eaten by the monster or escaped.
"Xiao Hei, can the Healing Card help her?" Lin Huang looked at the cards in his body and guessed that only the Healing Card would be useful.
"The Healing Card can cure all kinds of illnesses, including poisoning."
"Alright, use a Healing Card on her." Although it was painful for Lin Huang to use a card, he would lose two Monster Cards if he did not use it.
"Are you sure you want to use the Healing Card on someone other than you?"
"Yes!" Lin Huang nodded as he endured the pain.
"Please select the user."
"Leng Yuexin." Lin Huang pointed at Leng Yuexin.
"One Healing Card has been used, healing begins …"
As Xiao Hei's notification popped up, a white glow shot out from Lin Huang's fingertip and entered Leng Yuexin's body.
A layer of faint white glow appeared on Leng Yuexin's body.
Lin Huang stood aside and mumbled to himself, "Beauty Leng, it wasn't easy for me to find this place. I even used a Healing Card that could save my life for you. I don't want you to repay me. As long as you bring me back to Carefree City and help me complete this mission, I'll be grateful. "
Seeing that the black color on Leng Yuexin's face was fading away, Lin Huang did not want to stay any longer. He retreated to the wall nearby and waited for Leng Yuexin to wake up.
Soon, the poison in Leng Yuexin's body was completely removed and she woke up from her slumber.
"Huh?"
Leng Yuexin opened her eyes and sat up in confusion. She looked at her arms and realized that the black poison was gone. She then looked at her reflection in the river and realized that her face had returned to normal.
"What happened? Wasn't I poisoned? "Leng Yuexin frowned, she seemed to be thinking about why the poison in her body was removed.
Lin Huang who was hiding aside panicked, "What's there to think about? Your body is fine now, we should leave this place as soon as possible!"
Fortunately, Leng Yuexin did not dwell on it for too long. Soon, she stood up, patted the dirt off her body and left in the opposite direction of the underground river.
Lin Huang traversed through the rock walls, concealing his aura as he followed not far behind her.
Just when they were about to reach the entrance, Leng Yuexin suddenly stopped.
Lin Huang who was behind her saw a person lying on the ground not far away. He looked like Li Yanxing from his clothes.
"Brother Li!" Leng Yuexin shouted at him and rushed to him.
Lin Huang frowned as he did not like Li Yanxing as he left the monster carcass behind to frame him. Obviously, Li Yanxing was not a good person.
However, the fact that Li Yanxing was able to reach here meant that he was not poisoned as compared to Leng Yuexin.
As expected, Li Yanxing was still conscious. Seeing Leng Yuexin running towards him, he shouted at her immediately, "Help me …"
Although his voice was weak, he was still conscious.
"He's really not dead, he's really a scourge!" Lin Huang thought to himself.
"Brother Li, I'll carry you out!" Leng Yuexin helped Li Yanxing up.
"I don't have much time … I need the antidote …" Li Yanxing thought that Leng Yuexin had the antidote so he asked for it.
"I don't have the antidote, I don't know how to get rid of the poison in my body." Leng Yuexin did not know how to explain.
"Then … Help me change my blood … I can't even reach the ground with my current condition …" Li Yanxing begged.
"Change your blood …" Leng Yuexin hesitated but she could not bear to see Li Yanxing die here so she agreed.
Lin Huang, on the other hand, frowned as he watched from behind. "This Li guy is really shameless. He even asked for a blood exchange."
Blood change meant that he would release the poisonous blood from his body and he would need someone else to replace part of his lost blood to dilute the concentration of the poison in his body. Normally, people would not do blood change for someone else if it was not for their family or friends. Especially Li Yanxing and Leng Yuexin who were a man and a woman, it was outrageous for him to ask for it.
Li Yanxing knew Leng Yuexin's weakness and that was why he asked for it.
"Help me …" Li Yanxing said to Leng Yuexin.
"Yes." Leng Yuexin nodded and a dagger appeared in her palm. She sliced the arteries on both of Li Yanxing's wrists with two strokes.
Black poisonous blood flowed out quickly, bringing with it an unpleasant rancid smell.
Leng Yuexin cut one of her wrist again and red blood flowed out.
She quickly made a hand seal and soon, the red blood flowed like a thick thread onto the wound on Li Yanxing's wrist. Leng Yuexin's red blood flowed into his wrist and the black blood stopped flowing out.
"Why would Li Yanxing make such a request? It's just a temporary solution. The poison in his body will only be diluted but not completely removed. Even if he gets out of this underground cave, he can only live for a few more hours. He won't be able to make it back to Carefree City in time. Unless … "Lin Huang knew the use of the blood change skill. "Unless he removes all the poisonous blood in his body. However, if that's the case, he would need to use someone else's blood to do the blood change …"
Lin Huang frowned as he thought about this.
Time passed by in the cave and Leng Yuexin's face turned pale. She had almost replaced a third of Li Yanxing's blood. "Brother Li, I'm going to stop."
"Yes, that's enough." Li Yanxing nodded.
Just when Leng Yuexin was about to make a hand seal to stop the blood change, Li Yanxing's eyes flashed. A dagger appeared in his right hand that was bleeding black blood and pierced through Leng Yuexin's chest at lightning speed.
Lin Huang who was far away did not even have time to react.
Leng Yuexin was caught off guard and looked at Li Yanxing in shock, "Brother Li, you …"
"Silly girl, if I don't finish the blood change, how can the poison in my body be removed? If it's just diluting a third of the poison in my body, I won't be able to make it back to Carefree City. That's why I have to trouble you … "Li Yanxing smiled faintly.
