After Li Xiang squeezed out his fangs and sucked out the venom, Tian Yin's condition finally stabilized. He carried Tian Yin and walked in the damp tunnel with Xue Ni.
Their clothes were soaked and they were in a cold area. Xue Ni kept sneezing which attracted Li Xiang's attention.
Why did she come here to seek death when her body was so weak?
Recalling the determination in her eyes when she talked about the Holy Garment Church, Li Xiang did not say anything more.
"We don't know where the treasure might be hidden. If we continue to walk like this and still can't find it, I'm afraid you'll fall sick." Li Xiang suddenly stopped and said to Xue Ni who was next to him.
Xue Ni heard this and her face changed. She quickly puffed out her chest and tried to look energetic. She said with a sobbing voice, "Please, please don't abandon us. I, I won't be a burden to you."
"Who said I'm abandoning you? If I really didn't want to care about you, I would've 'eaten' you here and left!" Li Xiang did not know whether to laugh or cry. He let her rest on a rock wall and started a fire for her. "Warm yourself here and dry your clothes. We'll come back for you later."
"Okay, okay." Xue Ni nodded. She hugged the only sniper rifle but did not sit down.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to Tian Yin. If I really want to do something, you can't stop me." Li Xiang saw the hesitation in her eyes and comforted her. "See you later."
This time, Xue Ni finally sat down. After the long journey and the fierce battle just now, she was already exhausted. As soon as she sat down, exhaustion flooded her body like a tide. She resisted the urge to close her eyes and slowly took off the thin holy robe on her body. She put it over the fire to roast while hugging her sniper rifle and curled up beside the rock wall.
When he looked at Li Xiang again, there was no trace of his back.
Without the burden of Xue Ni, Li Xiang could finally run freely. In fact, he could completely abandon the two of them here, and no one would know what he was doing. But as he went deeper into the cave, the alluring fragrance became thicker and thicker.
Baimiya was right, there must be something hidden here.
Following the scent, Li Xiang finally found the mysterious hiding place at the end of the cave.
There was a clear underground spring.
The fragrance had reached his nose from the spring water. Li Xiang sniffed hard, and after confirming that there was no mistake, he put down Tian Yin.
"Alright, you'd better go wash yourself." He walked over and dipped his finger into the spring water before placing it into his mouth. It tasted sweet and gave him a refreshing feeling. All of his exhaustion seemed to have disappeared.
The light wounds from the battle with the Twin-headed Ogre King were also healing at a visible rate.
This underground spring was indeed extraordinary.
"Oh, how did you know I was pretending to be asleep?" Tian Yin used her hands to cover the two key parts of her body. The men's tights did not match her body shape. The top part was very tight, and the bottom part was so short that if she moved slightly, she would be exposed. She had no choice but to cover it when she got up so that she would not be exposed.
Li Xiang shrugged and did not answer.
He continued to drink the underground spring water. When he was treating her wounds, he realized that she was awake. If he said it out loud, not only would the two of them be embarrassed, Xue Ni would also be embarrassed.
He brought her here because he felt that there was probably an antidote to the poison here, and also to alleviate the awkwardness.
However, Tian Yin did not move as she blushed.
"Why aren't you washing yourself? I won't look at you." Li Xiang was busy testing the effects of the underground spring water. He tested it both internally and externally, cleaning wounds, and other testing methods.
Tian Yin was stunned. After a while, she squeezed out a sentence. "You, you … If you're drinking, how am I going to wash myself?"
"Oh, that's true. Then wash yourself first, and I'll try again. Hmm … No, I'll drink first. No, if I finish drinking, what will you do? " Li Xiang suddenly felt that this problem was a little tricky. He had not thought about it earlier, and it was more annoying than fighting.
Seeing his conflicted expression, Tian Yin's face turned red. She suddenly jumped into the spring water with a plop, burying her head in the water and spitting out bubbles.
Then, she popped her head out and said angrily, "Do whatever you want. I'm washing myself!"
This underground spring water was indeed the antidote to the Ogre Shaman's poison. As soon as she soaked in the pool, Tian Yin felt much better. Even her injuries were recovering. She could not help but let out a low moan. As soon as she spoke, she realized that Li Xiang was still beside her. She hurriedly covered her mouth.
She turned her head and saw that Li Xiang was squatting on the other side, focused on tasting the spring water.
Then, he stuck the Tracker in his hand into the water.
"As expected, this spring water contains a large amount of Origin Substance Particles." Li Xiang was overjoyed. Because the Tracker did not carry any attributes, it would reject all magic particles. The only thing it could absorb were the extremely rare Origin Substance Particles. However, these particles only existed in theory, and he had only absorbed some during his last trip to the stars.
In the real world, Origin Substance Particles could not exist independently. However, no matter what object it was attached to, it would immediately assimilate into other magic particles.
However, in this underground spring water, there were only Origin Substance Particles. There were no other magic particles.
"Healing properties, eliminating fatigue, promoting bodily functions, and being directly absorbed by the body … these are all unique effects of Origin Substance particles. There's no mistaking it," Li Xiang muttered to himself. Tian Yin was completely confused by what he was hearing.
"Origin Substance Particles? What's that? " She swam over and asked curiously. She did not notice that the spring water was so clear that she could see anything underwater.
Li Xiang coughed a few times before she came to her senses. She hurriedly retreated to the side and washed herself before walking out of the pool.
She straightened her single ponytail behind her head and regained her valiant appearance. Her black tights perfectly outlined the curves of her body.
On the other side, Li Xiang stuck the Tracker into the pool. At the same time, he took out the White Snake X and soaked it in as well. These two weapons could both benefit from the Origin Substance Particles.
He drank as much of the spring water as he could, then took out a standard tube from the black box and continuously filled it with spring water.
After a while, he had used up more than half of the entire underground spring water. There was still some that he could not take away or drink, so he had Tian Yin join in on the pillaging.
Tian Yin was still in a daze, but when she saw how much he cared about this spring water, she opened up and drank. Halfway through, she suddenly stood up to find Xue Ni. Li Xiang did not stop her.
Xue Ni walked over, confused. She was a little embarrassed to drink, but in the end, she could not dissuade Tian Yin. Tian Yin and Li Xiang, on the other hand, returned to the fire to dry their clothes.
This was a very big opportunity, but the benefits of the Origin Substance Particles would not be apparent for now. Li Xiang was too lazy to explain, so he would just treat it as compensation for tricking them earlier.
The two of them walked back to the fire and chatted softly as they warmed themselves.
"Hey, did you purposely leave Xue Ni behind to test her?" Tian Yin asked as she placed her hands on the fire. "Sometimes, it's hard to understand what you're thinking."
Li Xiang had indeed been thinking this, but he was still a little surprised that Tian Yin had seen through him.
He nodded slightly. "Yes, Xue Ni's personality is too weak. If she can't protect herself, then she will end up as a delicacy in the next six days of the ultimate trial. If she's pretty, her fate will probably be even worse. "
Even though Li Xiang's words were straightforward, Tian Yin agreed with him.
If Xue Ni was like this, then how could she not be?
Before, she had been able to rely on the Feng Clan and a group of teammates, but now she was all alone. Her ranking was in the 50,000,000 range, and most of the people she encountered were stronger than her. Not to mention earning enough points, even surviving would be difficult.
Killing each other was not encouraged in the hunting world, but it was not absolutely forbidden.
"Then what would you do if she didn't pass the trial?" Tian Yin patted her chest lightly in fear. She still had to call Xue Ni. If the two of them returned, and Xue Ni's performance was not to his liking …
"Then I would decisively abandon the two of you and leave on my own." There was no pity in Li Xiang's eyes. From the very beginning, he had decided to use Feng Jian and the others as bait and save them midway. Firstly, it was because of Xue Ni's plea, and secondly, it was because of Tian Yin's Eight Extremities Fist.
"You really are heartless." Tian Yin looked at his face. Why was it that even though they were the same age, this cold youth was so much stronger than her? How could his heart be so ruthless?
But in her heart, there was a slight throbbing.
"It's not that I'm heartless or not. If I were to bring two burdens along and encounter danger that I can't handle, then I would abandon you or let you die in front of my eyes. That feeling would be even worse. In this world, calamities and humans cannot coexist. We are at a disadvantage. As a human, we can't ask for the pity of others. We can only save ourselves. "Li Xiang sighed and said faintly," We have to earn our own lives. "
"We have to earn our own lives …" Tian Yin recalled his words and fell into deep thought.
On the other side, Xue Ni, who had finished drinking the spring water, jogged back. Her holy clothes were tattered and could not block the view at all. But at this moment, she had an excited look on her face. She sat down beside the two of them, and the fear and fear from before were gone.
"Let's go once you're done packing. What are your plans?" Li Xiang stood up. He had spent too much time in the ogre's lair, so he did not earn many points. Currently, his ranking was still around one million. However, the points at this level were very crowded. With just a few more points, he would be able to charge into the eight hundred thousandth rank. His points would keep rising, and when he reached the three hundred thousandth rank, there would be a gap and it would not be so crowded anymore.
The two girls looked at each other and shook their heads.
"I have to find a way out of the Eternal Ice Plains. I can't bring you along all the time." Li Xiang glanced at them. He was not some flower protector. At most, he could protect the two of them for a while. It was absolutely impossible for him to form a team.
Hearing that he was about to leave, Tian Yin suddenly stood up and asked in confusion, "Did you just say that you want to find an exit?"
"Yes, why?"
"My reward is the location of the exit."
