With Gu leading the way, in less than half a day's time, Han Yunxi and the rest were already standing halfway up the main peak of Lotus Flower Peak.
The climate affected the distribution of vegetation. At higher latitudes, the distribution of vegetation would have an obvious difference but this was the first time Han Yunxi had seen such a peculiar distribution of vegetation.
Lotus Flower Peak's main peak didn't have any vegetation at all. It was a barren land which was about three steps wide and circled around the mountain.
The vegetation below this barren land was normal and rather dense but above it was a strange forest. The trees were all in the shape of umbrellas, like banyan trees with countless roots hanging down. The ground was filled with vines which grew wildly, covering most of the mountain in a layer of green carpet. There were even colourful flowers blooming on top.
From the middle of the mountain to the peak, it looked like a mysterious forest.
Han Yunxi was dumbstruck. Although she wasn't sure what the maximum capacity of the detoxification system was, but she was sure that the entire mountain was filled with poison. Even ten detoxification systems wouldn't be enough. Similarly, she didn't know how big Little Thing's appetite was but she was sure that this time, it would be enough for Little Thing to eat until it was full!
Luckily she had thought of this place, otherwise it would be a huge loss!
Without her around, Long Fei Ye probably wouldn't come. After all, that fellow didn't know anything about poison and the bodyguards had already left.
Han Yunxi knocked on the medical pouch, wanting to call Little Thing out. Now that they were here, it could eat as much as it wanted!
Unexpectedly, she felt a tickling sensation at her feet. She lowered her head and saw that Little Thing had unknowingly slipped to her feet and was excitedly greeting her.
If it wasn't for Gu, Little Thing would probably cry out in excitement. It didn't expect its new master to be so smart and actually knew to bring it to this place.
One must know that it had eaten here every day until it grew up!
Han Yunxi secretly waved her hand and Little Thing seemed to understand as it immediately walked past the barren land. But it didn't walk far and not long after, it turned back to look at Han Yunxi.
Han Yunxi was afraid that it didn't understand, so she continued to wave her hand to indicate that it could play as it pleased. However, the little thing kept looking back.
Gu Beiyue saw this and whispered, "Is it saying goodbye to you? Will it come back for you after it leaves? "
Han Yunxi had never thought about this. "I think so."
In fact, other than curing Long Tianmo's poison, she didn't deliberately want to obtain the poisonous beast. She never thought of using poison to do anything outrageous. She didn't need such a powerful poisonous beast.
The little thing liked her and stayed by her side. In her opinion, it was fate. If the little thing wanted to leave, then she would leave it to fate.
After all, this poisonous herb storage was more suitable for it than her medical kit.
Lil Thing looked at its master and Gu Beiyue talking from afar. It was so anxious that it wanted to cry out, but it was afraid that Gu would hear it.
Aiya, it looked like it would take some time for it to get used to its new master before she understood what it wanted to tell her.
It wanted to take her to the peak of the poisonous herb storage. There were many rare medicinal ingredients there, as well as several corrosive poisonous herbs that were only grown by the Poison Sect. They had been unknown for decades.
Lil Thing stopped again, but Han Yunxi and Gu Beiyue were too engrossed in their conversation to notice it!
Stupid master!
Stupid white-robed gentleman!
Lil Thing rolled around in the thick vines before disappearing like a wisp of smoke. It'd better go to the peak to fill its stomach first before looking for them.
When faced with countless poisonous herbs, it might be hungry, but it would definitely endure until it found the most delicious one!
Han Yunxi and Gu Beiyue were startled by Lil Thing's rustling as it scurried away. They both turned to look at Gu.
Unexpectedly, an expert like Gu hadn't noticed the commotion just now. He was staring at the peak from afar with a grave expression, deep in thought.
"Sir Gu seems to be very familiar with this place," Gu Beiyue spoke up.
Gu turned back with an unpleasant expression. "Not familiar!"
Han Yunxi deliberately chuckled. This guy clearly knew how to avoid the guards and even led them through a few man-made traps. Who would believe him if he said he wasn't familiar with this place?
There was a ninety-nine percent chance that this guy was from the medical academy. As for who exactly he was, why didn't he show his face?
Fine, she wasn't that interested in finding out. Right now, she was itching to step into the poisonous herb storage and fill up her detoxification system.
"Let's go in!"
As Han Yunxi spoke, she took large strides across the barren land. Gu Beiyue immediately followed with Gu Qishao bringing up the rear. With a grin, he asked, "Poison lass, how are you planning to experience this?"
"I'm just looking around!"
Han Yunxi activated her detoxification system to scan for all kinds of poisons as she walked up. She really was just looking around. Of course, she immediately kept the good ones in her bag.
Not to mention Gu, even Gu Beiyue didn't believe that Han Yunxi was just here to explore. However, Han Yunxi walked all the way up the mountain and really only looked around. She didn't even stop to pick the poisonous herbs.
What exactly was this woman here for?
Just as Gu Beiyue and Gu were foolishly following her, Han Yunxi had already silently collected a lot of poisonous herbs.
The detoxification system detected that the poisonous herbs at the peak were the strongest. She thought that the distribution of the poisonous herbs must be from weak to strong. In other words, the good stuff should be at the peak.
Good stuff didn't necessarily mean that it was useful. Han Yunxi needed a lot of poisonous herbs to replenish her stock. She thought that she would be able to collect enough along the way.
As they walked, Gu Beiyue was quiet. However, Gu couldn't stand it anymore. "Poison girl, are you here to climb the mountain?"
He had thought that Han Yunxi would go crazy picking the herbs here. He didn't expect that this girl didn't touch anything.
Han Yunxi tilted her head and smiled. "Yeah."
This girl!
Gu smiled helplessly. "Alright, I'll climb with you! But don't blame me for not reminding you. Once the sky turns dark, there will be a hundred bugs roaming at night. It's very dangerous. We have to leave. "
Han Yunxi then became serious. "Really?"
A hundred bugs roaming at night referred to poisonous insects that came out in groups to look for food. For example, a large group of poisonous ants, poisonous lizards and the like.
This phenomenon would occur in any place with a lot of poisonous herbs. With so many poisonous herbs in the poisonous herb vault, one could only imagine how scary it would be at night.
Han Yunxi only remembered this when Gu said this.
She hesitated for a moment, but still said seriously, "I'm looking for some poisonous herbs with strong corrosiveness."
Since she was already here, she might as well look for poisonous herbs related to Perplexing Butterfly Illusion.
Although she didn't understand Perplexing Butterfly Illusion, based on its terrifying corrosiveness, there must be some highly corrosive poisonous herbs in the recipe.
Naturally, Long Feiye had his own reasons for coming here.
Alright, she had been using the detoxification system to look for highly corrosive poisonous herbs on the way here.
She told herself that she wasn't being soft-hearted. It was just that she had promised him. Since she had to keep her word, she had to help him to the end.
Replenishing the detoxification system's inventory and feeding the little one were the main things. The Perplexing Butterfly Illusion was just a side benefit.
"Do you need it?" Gu asked curiously.
When he and Gu Beiyue stood together, the difference between the two was obvious. Gu Beiyue didn't ask about anything, but he asked about everything.
Han Yunxi was about to answer when a vine suddenly darted out from behind her. Gu's first reaction was to push her away, and he cried out in alarm, "Be careful, Man-eating Vines!"
Unfortunately, it was too late. Han Yunxi was fine, but Gu himself was entangled. A large, pus-filled mouth grew out from the end of the thick vine, and it pounced on Gu.
"No!" Han Yunxi immediately shot out her needles, but who knew that a vine would suddenly appear in front of her, blocking her.
Fortunately, Gu Beiyue hugged the vine with both hands. However, hugging could only buy him time. Gu's entire body was bound, and he couldn't use any of his abilities.
Gu Beiyue could only hold on tightly. Han Yunxi, on the other hand, was in even more danger. Vines darted out one after another, and it looked like they were about to surround her.
God knows if these Man-eating Vines had mutated. She had used many poisons, but they couldn't wither.
Seeing this, Gu Beiyue frowned and was about to make a move. Who knew that at this moment, a black figure suddenly flew over, broke into the vines' encirclement, and hugged Han Yunxi.
"Long Fei Ye …"
Gu's mouth was about to be sealed by the vines, but he still managed to say this name.
Yes, it was Long Fei Ye.
He hugged Han Yunxi tightly, and with a sweep of his sword, he immediately cut off the vines' encirclement. However, he didn't save Gu. Instead, he glanced Coldly at Gu Beiyue, carried Han Yunxi, and turned to leave.
Han Yunxi was stunned at first, but she quickly recovered and exclaimed, "Quick, save Gu! Quick! "
Long Fei Ye's face was as cold as ice. He didn't answer her, and walked down the mountain with Han Yunxi.
Han Yunxi struggled with all her might. She was anxious. "Gu was trapped because of me. Save him!"
If Gu didn't push her away, she would be in danger now.
However, Long Fei Ye didn't even answer her. He looked straight ahead, and his whole person was so serious that it was terrifying.
"Let go of me!"
The panicked Han Yunxi suddenly realized that she didn't need Long Fei Ye. She could save people by herself. She had a lot of corrosive potions on her. Why didn't she think of that just now!
"Han Yunxi, a married woman going up the mountain with two men. What do you mean by this?" Long Fei Ye questioned.
Han Yunxi was stunned, and then anger rose in her heart. What right did he have to question her about this kind of thing? Didn't they say that they would go their separate ways?
"Let's save people first, okay?" She suppressed her anger and asked seriously. God knows how long Gu Beiyue could hold on.
Long Fei Ye was also angry. He didn't say anything and didn't look at her anymore.
Han Yunxi was still struggling violently. In the end, they fought. Long Fei Ye landed on a tree trunk, holding her with one hand and dealing with her poison needles with the other. The two of them fought more and more fiercely. However, people with discerning eyes could see that Long Fei Ye had been giving in to Han Yunxi. Otherwise, how could she fight with him for so long?
At this time, a cold female voice came from the side. "Ye 'er, this is Han Yunxi?"
