CH 78.1

Dijia had carried Bai Lixin to the border between the Beast race and the Night Elves.

The Night Elves’ territory was primarily a dense forest, whereas the Beast race’s living environment was more complex and diverse.

Bai Lixin and Dijia arrived at a large grassland after leaving the Night Elves, and beyond that was a simple stone and brick wall. A village inhabited by the beast race lay beyond the wall.

“That is the edge of the Beast Race’s territory,” Dijia said, pointing to the wall. “Do you want to come over and look? Beyond is just a small beast tribe village.”

Bai Lixin nodded as he chatted with Xia Chi.

In the chat room, Bai Lixin continued to ask.

[Where are you now?]

Xia Chi: [I don’t know. We got the secret treasure from the Undead and got a teleportation array leading to the Beast race’s territory.]

[We arrived at the location, but there was no one there, so we assumed it was deserted. Some Beast race members unexpectedly appeared out of nowhere.]

[ They seemed crazy as they went on a rampage. Everyone fled, and we became separated in the process. Fortunately, Sister Cancan and Brother Liang Xi remained with me.]

[ We went into a cave to avoid the beasts, but there were some poisonous snakes inside. Li Cancan pushed me away to protect me, and she was bitten as a result.]

[ Liang Xi used a knife to kill the snake but snake blood splashed into his eyes, and they both fainted from fever.]

[Brother, they were burning so badly that I had to go out and find herbs for them.]

During the chat, Dijia had carried Bai Lixin to the stone enclosure.

The buildings ahead were mostly made of wood and straw. The area was overgrown with weeds and wooden blocks, giving it a desolate appearance.

This village had not been inhabited for a long time.

Dijia put Bai Lixin down and the two proceeded to look around. They’d occasionally run into skeletons from the Beast Clan.

There were many houses with collapsed pillars and scratches on the walls from sharp claw marks.

Bai Lixin approached the wall with a claw mark. When he touched it, he discovered that the dent was five centimeters deep and each scratch was very wide.

Judging from the sharp claw mark, the culprit must be at least ten meters tall.

Dijia: “This place appears to have been abandoned for about two years.Should we continue?”

“Wait a second.” While speaking with Dijia, Bai Lixin opened a private chat and asked, “Master, can you teleport to a specific location?”

Dijia: “Yes, I can but you have to tell me where.”

Bai Lixin suddenly thought of something and grabbed a notebook from the system backpack.

This was the notebook Liang Xi had used to take notes in, and he’d given it to Bai Lixin when he entered the copy.

“I’m not sure of their exact location but I have this. It should have his scent on it.”

Dijia stared at the notebook, stunned.

“….” Wasn’t he being treated as a dog?

Dijia turned around to see Bai Lixin’s expectant gaze.

“Give it to me,” Dijia sighed, extending his hand resignedly, “I can only try.”

I’ve only heard of disciples acting as cows and horses for their masters; I’m pretty sure I’m the only one on the entire continent who does this for a disciple.

Dijia sniffed the book and then searched his mind for anything with the same scent in the wind.

To the east, no.

West, also no.

South ……although very subtle, but he smelled it.

He sniffed the south side a few times, and the scent gradually became clearer until he found the source.

Dijia: “Got it, come here.”

————————

Li Cancan was drowsy when she felt an unexpected whirlwind blowing on her face.

She struggled to open her eyes, but all she could see were two black shadows in front of her.

Who was it?

Was it Xia Chi?

No, Xia Chi was only one person. These are two people.

Was that Wen Ziqing?

What were they doing here? Did they come to kill them?

Li Cancan let out a bitter smile. It seems that she could only stop here.

Li Cancan tilted her head and saw Liang Xi lying unconscious beside her.

No, Liang Xi had already passed out; Xia Chi was nowhere to be found; she was their only hope.

She couldn’t hide behind them forever; she was also a member of the team, and she needed to protect them.

At that moment, an invisible force suddenly burst out from Li Cancan’s body.

Not knowing where the energy came from, Li Cancan focused her attention and pulled a self-destructive card from her backpack.

This was the best card she could find for use at the last minute.

This card would cause a small explosion centered on her body.

Just as Li Cancan was about to rush into the black shadows, a cool and refreshing voice rang out from above her head.

“Relax, put the card down. You’ve done a good job.”

Li Cancan trembled all over and struggled to open her eyes to look at the person above her.

Her vision was still blurry, but that voice ……

Bai Lixin? Was it really Bai Lixin?

Li Cancan felt a force flow from her feet to her head, cooling her hot body.

Her strength was obviously recovering, but Li Cancan felt as if she had lost all of her strength.

She slumped to the ground, and the card suddenly seemed to weigh a thousand tons.

Her vision became clearer, and the blurred shadows began to take shape in her eyes.

As soon as she looked up, she met those vast star-like eyes.

In that instant, all the fear dissipated.

Bai Lixin! It was really Bai Lixin!

Bai Lixin smiled reassuringly as he saw Li Cancan come to her senses. “You did well, close your eyes and rest, leave the rest to me.”

Li Cancan tilted her head and saw a warm green light enveloping Liang Xi’s body.

Liang Xi’s mouth, which was trying to breathe heavily, and the faintly wrinkled brow were also visible to her.

Great, Liang Xi was also okay.

At that moment, the fear of death completely disappeared from her heart.

The corner of her swollen eyes fell on the card at her feet as she tilted her head back. Li Cancan shivered as she saw the black bomb painted on the front of the card.

[Ding! Congratulations to the player. The toxins have been cleaned up, healing proficiency has increased to lv9.]

With that prompt, Bai Lixin deactivated the Mermaid’s Heart.
