A low murmur sounded, "Remnant Spirit…" Jin Bao'er had never heard of such a thing, but she knew from the sound it wasn't a proper poison!
Should she save the person? The answer was yes! Even though she had her square artifact protecting her, and no one could harm her, this woman's actions had indeed been a kindness. After all, her square artifact couldn't stop her wounds from worsening due to exposure!
She sighed and reached out to help the woman up!
"There are quite a few spirit herbs in this forest. Do you know what antidote you need?"
Did she mean she would help her find the medicine?
Qu Xiaoxiao thought to herself, her expression unchanged. Sensing the cold, persistent hand on her arm, she became a little nervous and excited!
Was the immortal senior going to help her find medicine? Ahhh! She was so kind! And now that they were close, she looked so beautiful!
Her face flushed slightly, and she said shyly,
"This poison is easy to cure. Just find the Soul-Supporting Grass! I saw some over there before."
Jin Bao'er nodded slightly, directly reaching out to embrace her waist. With a thought, spiritual energy surged! A white light enveloped them, and their figures soared into the sky!
Qu Xiaoxiao looked down in astonishment! Flying without a sword? And carrying someone? That was something only achievable by cultivators above the Deity Transformation stage! She hadn't even reached the Nascent Soul stage yet, and could at most hover on her sword for half an hour...
Her heart settled, and she lowered her head, feeling a bit flustered. The immortal senior was indeed very powerful!
The disciples participating in this competition were all below the Nascent Soul stage and had not brought weapons. None of them would waste their energy on flying! As a result, when the ball of white light streaked across the sky, no one could discern what it was...
Suddenly, Qu Xiaoxiao seemed to see something, her eyes lighting up with surprise!
"Immortal senior! My team is over there!"
She pointed at a few people being chased by two demonic beasts not far away, and her smile suddenly stiffened...
Jin Bao'er remained unfazed. Because her body was different from that of a mortal, she could see farther and more clearly!
Those weren't just two demonic beasts? They were thousands of low to mid-grade demonic beasts! It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a beast tide!
The few people fled in panic, even pulling out various trump cards to fly, but because it wasn't their own strength, any item had a time limit. They quickly landed but had to continue running! Their clothes were disheveled, their hair wild, and sweat poured down their faces...
She landed steadily with Qu Xiaoxiao on a large rock! She had already given the other person her last pill, which would stop the bleeding for a while. That pill was of no use to her anyway...
Jin Bao'er had no intention of intervening, her expression cold! The only person she needed to protect temporarily was this one. What did the lives of others have to do with her? Even if Qu Xiaoxiao asked her to help, she wouldn't pay attention!
After all, she herself was injured. Protecting this one person was already a lot. If the other party became greedy, she wouldn't mind letting them fend for themselves!
Ahead, the few people were clearly reaching their limit, their faces pale, their breathing rapid! Behind them, in addition to the two pursuing demonic beasts, there was a vast expanse of black, densely packed beasts chasing desperately...
Qu Xiaoxiao's face was filled with anxiety. Her first instinct was to rush to help, but the pain in her legs made it impossible for her to move. She didn't ask Jin Bao'er for help, but instead shouted into the distance.
"Scatter immediately! Get up the trees!"
The demonic beasts had clear targets. For now, scattering their encirclement was the only option. Climbing trees and jumping to escape was also a good plan!
Fortunately, although sparse, there were continuous groves of trees around...
The few people were clearly surprised to see Qu Xiaoxiao. Upon hearing her voice, they immediately scattered and desperately climbed the trees! Their spiritual energy was depleted...
Qu Xiaoxiao looked back, her expression panicked.
"Immortal senior, let's retreat first! The direction of the demonic beasts..."
Jin Bao'er nodded, pulled her, and prepared to fly away. Just then, she heard a scream!
"Senior Sister Qu, save me!!"
Amidst the beast tide, a young girl in pink was clinging tightly to the back of a demonic beast, her face filled with panic and fear, tears and snot streaming everywhere. From time to time, she was flung into the air by the beast, only to fall heavily with a scream, blood gushing from her nose... In her panic, she grabbed the back of another demonic beast, only to be thrown off again...
It was a cycle!
Jin Bao'er raised an eyebrow slightly. This was the first time she had seen such a scene! If she were lucky, she was tossed around like a toy multiple times, sustaining torn wounds... If she were unlucky, she landed on the back of a demonic beast every time, instead of on the ground where she would have been trampled into a pulp...
After all, the most terrifying aspect of a beast tide was causing people to become exhausted from constant pursuit, leading to them being trampled and torn apart by countless beasts.
Qu Xiaoxiao's face darkened. She gave the other person a look of complex helplessness!
How could she save her? She was also injured! And their relationship wasn't that good. If it weren't for her instigating discord earlier, Qu Xiaoxiao wouldn't have left the team and been captured by Yu Pianqian, almost beaten to death and disqualified from the competition.
"Junior Sister You, don't be afraid, we'll save you immediately!"
Before Qu Xiaoxiao could speak, a male voice suddenly rang out, his tone urgent, anxious, and resolute!
The next moment, a man who had just escaped to a tree looked at Qu Xiaoxiao! His expression urged her on.
"Senior Sister Qu, hurry and save Junior Sister You! She's injured and can't hold on! Didn't you promise Master you would lead us well? You can't go back on your word!"
Jin Bao'er could hear the calculation of moral blackmail from afar! She let go of the woman beside her and glanced at the man not far away...
Hmm! Another incompetent and blind idiot!
Qu Xiaoxiao's face darkened, and she was furious! Her face was filled with sarcasm and disbelief!
"You want me to save her? You, a man with an intact body, want me, a woman whose legs are immobile, to save someone? And into a beast tide... What do you take me for? The Goddess of Childbirth, who grants every wish??"
In front of the immortal senior, she didn't want to appear too cowardly! It would make her seem useless. Qu Xiaoxiao thought to herself, and her gaze subtly drifted to that expressionless, peerlessly beautiful face, her heart unconsciously quickened, and her cheeks grew warm...
Phew~ She's so beautiful, it makes me a little happy!
The man paused, clearly not expecting Qu Xiaoxiao's reply! For a moment, he was stunned...
Seeing this, Qu Xiaoxiao felt a sense of relief! It felt good to refuse someone, it wasn't difficult after all~
Jin Bao'er smiled faintly. It was good that she wasn't a saint! Otherwise, she wouldn't know whether to leave directly or curse her before leaving.
At this moment, Junior Sister You, who was being repeatedly flung back and forth by the demonic beasts, almost fainted upon hearing their conversation! She felt as if her internal organs were shifting and dislocating from the vibrations, yet she just couldn't die...
In her daze, she even felt as if she were being toyed with by the demonic beasts! Were they treating her like a rubber ball?
