The cold wind was bone-chilling. Shia was already exhausted. With her strength, she was not afraid of the Mantis Demons, but she had no way of walking out of this huge maze.
She shivered. She wanted to see them, but at the same time, she did not want them to see her in such a sorry state. She was the most powerful Poison Wizard in the whole of Caldera. She did not need anyone's pity.
Thus, she took out the bottle of refreshing medicine. This was a poison extracted from a plant called the Dragon Pot. It was a plant that looked very fresh and tender. Moreover, it had a tree trunk full of sharp thorns. Its branches and leaves hung down like a young girl with long hair, covering its trunk.
Animals that accidentally ate the Dragon Pot would become abnormally excited and aggressive. They would treat anything in front of them as an enemy and then kill themselves on the trunk of the Dragon Pot, becoming nutrients for the Dragon Pot.
After the wizard's modulation, its juice could be made into a medicine that could resist fatigue and refresh the mind.
However, when she took it out and wanted to smell it, the cold made her fingers numb. She accidentally fell to the ground. With a crisp shattering sound, the bottle broke into pieces and the blue-green liquid quickly evaporated.
Seeing this, Shia immediately covered her nose and quickly ran away. If she inhaled too much, she would be poisoned.
Running all the way exhausted her last bit of strength. She almost did not rest for the whole day. Her congenital disease made her physical strength her weakness. Without the bottle of medicine, she would not be able to keep up with the others.
In the end, she couldn't walk any further. This damned cliff had trapped her. She walked around in circles in this maze, but she couldn't find the exit.
Shia came to a dead end in despair. She sighed and sat down on a stone.
After losing the effect of the medicine, the pain in her feet gradually emerged. Her body was exhausted and she was very cold.
She curled into a ball and slowly closed her eyes.
This was her burial place. It was good. No one would find this place and see her ugly and deformed remains. Anyway, no one would be sad if she died.
Just when she was about to fall asleep, a light like a firefly appeared. She thought it was a dream.
A warm feeling. In her sleep, she felt warmth. At the same time, the world was shaking.
Soon, Shea opened her eyes. The sky was gray and there seemed to be some light, but the surroundings were still terribly dark. She smelled a reassuring scent. When she looked up, she realized that she was on someone's back.
A warm back.
She quickly realized that the person carrying her was actually Hellig, the Unicorn Ghost who wasn't even a Wei Feng. How could he …
Shea's heartbeat suddenly sped up. It was the first time she felt such a strange feeling. However, she quickly thought of the reason and felt a trace of anger.
"Put me … down. I can walk on my own."
She said in a low voice. For some reason, her words lacked confidence.
Heilig turned his head and said, "Your leg is injured. Don't force yourself."
Hearing that, Shea retracted his feet and realized that his feet were red and swollen.
As a Poison Wizard, she often went to the mountains, so her stamina was not that weak. However, Herlig and the others were too fast.
When Heilig saw her feet, he suddenly understood something. Shea's self-esteem was very strong. She would not say it to make everyone slow down. She estimated that she had reached her limit. If she continued to use the medicine, her feet might not be able to walk anymore.
Therefore, in order not to drag everyone down, and also some personal emotional problems, she chose to leave angrily.
"Why did you come to find me? Aren't you afraid that you will get lost?"
Shea asked and frowned.
What's wrong with me? He only came to find me because he's the captain …
"Don't worry, I made a mark. We will be able to go back soon."
Shea clenched her teeth and squeezed out her usual indifferent smile.
"That's reliable, captain."
"This has nothing to do with whether I'm the captain or not. You shouldn't leave like this. This kind of behavior will make us very worried."
"Hmph! Worried? You're just worried that no one will heal you when you're injured! Even if I die, you won't shed a tear. In your eyes, I'm just a dwarf clown. "
Hearing that, Heilig turned his head in shock.
"How can you say that! We're companions! I've never thought of you as a clown. "
"Companions? What a nice way to put it. In the end, we're just using each other. Look at what companions will do in a life and death situation."
Heilig stopped in his tracks. He felt that he did not understand why Shea was so paranoid.
"Wind Crane is dead. Did anyone mention it? He's one of our companions, but we don't even want to mention it. "
Shea continued.
"He might still be alive."
Although Heilig did not believe it himself, he admired Wind Crane's actions.
"Hmph, this is nonsense that you're lying to yourselves to make you feel better. You're all a bunch of selfish people."
Shea turned her head away. She had a point, so Heilig did not reply.
Soon, a light appeared above their heads, and the sky suddenly brightened.
Dawn had arrived.
According to the agreement with Faceless, if he did not return by now, Heilig would continue to lead the team until they found Reina.
However, he had not returned yet.
"If we go back, they might have already left."
"No, they will definitely wait for us."
"How do they know that we're still alive, or that we can go back this morning?"
Heilig was speechless. If he waited for a whole night and his companions did not return, he would definitely be very hesitant.
However, he still believed that they were still waiting for him.
In the end, when they returned to the camp, they found only the remains of last night's camping. When their luggage was also taken away, Heilig's heart sank.
"Ha, see, I was right. You shouldn't have come out to look for me. Compared to my life, the mission is more important."
Shea sneered on Heilig's back.
"Oh no."
Heilig frowned. He showed an uneasy expression.
"You know you're going to die, so you regret it?"
"No, the map … The map is in my hands. They don't know how to get through here."
Heilig said in horror. At this time, he took out the map from his arms.
Shea was also stunned when she saw this.
This guy, in this situation, is still thinking about the safety of others? Is this person an idiot?
At this time, in the rift valley, Faceless was leading Youken and Busie towards the Heart of Distortion.
