Xuanxia

Chapter 345 Connected by the same fate
At night, in the cave.

The rain was still falling outside the cave, but it was getting a little lighter.

There was a flickering fire in the cave, chicken feathers and bones were scattered on the ground, and medicinal soup was boiling on the fire.

Hua Wuying was unable to find more dry firewood, so he could only pick up some wet firewood and dry it by the fire, hoping that the wood would come in handy after the current dry firewood was used up.

Beside the fire, Hua Xiaolan and Hua Wuying sat side by side against the cave wall. Hua Xiaolan applied the crushed herbs on Hua Wuying's bloody palm, causing him to twitch in pain.

"how did you make it?"

Hua Xiaolan asked softly.

Hua Wuying sighed and said, "The ground was too slippery. I slipped while trying to catch a pheasant."

As he spoke, he quietly observed Huo Yaer and found that she was just standing with her hands behind her back, staring at the deduced formation patterns on the wall with great concentration, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Huo Yaer was powerful, her senses must have been greatly reduced. She didn't even realize that she had broken her hand in front of her...

Hua Xiaolan observed the changes in his eyes and realized something, but she just smiled slightly: "You are a cultivator, but your skills are so poor?"

"Maybe I'm too tired during this period." Hua Wuying responded casually.

As he spoke, he winked at Hua Xiaolan and nodded slightly.

Hua Xiaolan immediately understood that this was the "message in a bottle" that had been sent out.

Her eyes moved slightly, but she didn't say anything and continued to bandage Hua Wuying's wound.

Just at this moment, the medicinal soup cooking on the fire began to boil, and a strong medicinal aroma rose up, filling the entire cave.

Seeing this, Hua Xiaolan said softly: "Senior, today's medicine is ready."

Huo Yaer responded but said nothing and continued to immerse himself in studying the formation.

Hua Wuying knew that it was his turn to work - in the past few days, he was responsible for filtering out the medicinal soup, cooling it, and then handing it to Huo Yaer.

But just as he was about to get up, Hua Xiaolan held his hand.

"You are injured, let me do it."

As she spoke, she got up and went to filter the medicine.

But Hua Wuying saw it clearly. When she stood up, she picked up a few relatively intact herbs with her fingertips and placed them on her palm.

"What is she going to do?"

He was startled.

The next second, Hua Xiaolan was seen sprinkling the herbs into the medicinal soup without any formality.

Huoyal just had his back to them and noticed nothing.

Then, Hua Xiaolan began to slowly filter the medicine and pour the soup. After pouring the hot soup back and forth between the two stone bowls, it quickly cooled down.

Then, the bowl of medicine was handed to Huoyal.

"Senior, please take the medicine." Hua Xiaolan said softly.

Huo Yaer took the medicine without looking away and put it to his lips.

But just as the medicinal soup touched her lips and teeth, the eyeball on her forehead suddenly moved and looked into the medicinal soup. Then the eyeball turned to look at Hua Xiaolan with an extremely cold gaze.

Hua Wuying immediately realized that something was wrong and was about to stand up, but Hua Xiaolan remained calm and looked into the eyeball indifferently.

"You, poisoned me?"

Huo Yaer looked at Hua Xiaolan and sneered, "Do you think I can't smell it?"

"The medicine you gave me to drink these days is fine, but it's a little cold... But the thing you used to apply medicine to that kid can greatly stimulate the medicinal properties remaining in my body."

"This thing won't hurt anyone else, but it can cause this... half-dead young man under my control to collapse his internal organs and freeze his heart and lungs!"

Her tone was filled with murderous intent: "You, want to kill me?!"

This sentence is certainly not a question, but an affirmation.

The next moment, she poured the medicine soup and at the same time slapped Hua Xiaolan's chest!

Hua Xiaolan quietly watched the hand reaching out. The murderous intent that came towards her instantly made her eyes bloodshot, and blood oozed out from under her skin unconsciously, but she still stood where she was, and even the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

But the next second, a hand suddenly embraced her from behind.

Hua Xiaolan looked slightly surprised.

Huo Yaer's hand slapped down heavily, but did not hit Hua Xiaolan, but slapped Hua Wuying on the back!

In a flash, he flew up and blocked the attack with his body.

With a "puff", blood mist gushed out of Hua Wuying's mouth, splashing all over Hua Xiaolan.

"You?!" Hua Xiaolan was shocked.

The huge force knocked the two of them flying. They rolled out with a thud and tumbled several times before stopping.

Hua Wuying's expression quickly became weak, and he lay on the ground vomiting blood, obviously he was seriously injured.

Hua Xiaolan turned over and got up, half lying beside him, and asked with a smile: "Why?"

"No way...why..."

Hua Wuying smiled bitterly and said, "Your body is in such a state... How can I... let you get hurt again..."

Hua Xiaolan looked at him with complicated eyes.

"You are really in love with each other." Huo Yaer snorted coldly: "Why don't you tell me first, why do you want to harm me? If we cooperate to sneak into Lingjingmen, won't it be beneficial for both of us? What benefit will it bring to you if you harm me?"

Hua Wuying covered his chest and vomited blood, unable to utter a word. Hua Xiaolan replied calmly and stubbornly: "You have already drawn the Wind and Rain Formation. I have also learned the formation. I may not need you to find the corner of the formation... Rather than being controlled by you and not knowing whether you will kill me, it is better to strike first."

Hearing this, Huo Yaer laughed instead: "Interesting, I like you as a girl, but it's a pity that you are too weak, even your method of drugging is so clumsy."

As she spoke, she suddenly snapped her fingers!
A dark energy shot out from her fingers, split into two in mid-air, and penetrated into the bodies of Hua Wuying and Hua Xiaolan at the same time!

They both snorted at the same time, but seemed unhurt. On the contrary, Hua Wuying's cough gradually became lighter, and his breathing became smoother; Hua Xiaolan's skin no longer bleeds, and her complexion became visibly rosy.

"You are still useful to me, so you can't die."

Huo Yaer said calmly: "But from now on, you will share the same fate with me - as long as my soul dissipates, you will also die!"

Hua Wuying gritted his teeth, looking unwilling.

Hua Xiaolan sighed, lowered her head and said nothing.

"Hmph... Today's medicinal soup is ready." Huo Yaer said coldly: "Go out, collect new herbs and make medicine for me."

Hua Xiaolan didn't say anything. She stood up silently and walked out of the cave.

"you."

Huo Yaer looked at Hua Wuying again and sneered, "Accompany her and get it done as soon as possible - don't play any more tricks, otherwise, I will make you wish you were dead!"

Hua Wuying also didn't say anything. He slowly got up and followed Hua Xiaolan out of the cave.

It was still raining heavily outside the cave, and the two of them were wearing raincoats and walking side by side.

“Why do you want to do this?”

As they walked, Hua Wuying asked softly, "I know that if you wanted to poison her, she wouldn't be able to find out... Why did you let her see it and attack you?"

"You think it's too simple."

Hua Xiaolan sighed, "Although there are many herbs on this island, none of them can allow me to make such a hidden toxic drug... I can only take a risk."

"Do you know what the most poisonous thing about me is?"

Hua Wuying was stunned and shook his head.

"It's my natal spirit creature, the Ice Orchid Arrow Frog." Hua Xiaolan tilted her head to look at him, and suddenly smiled brightly: "It is the most poisonous creature in the Ten Thousand Poisons Mountain. With my current sixth level of spiritual awareness, I can control it and kill enemies across several levels. The only problem is that my realm is still limited now. I can only poison people who touch me with the Arrow Frog's poison."

"If Huo Yaer had hit me just now, I could have poisoned her! Even if she didn't die, she would be in great trouble."

Hua Wuying's pupils shrank.

"Since you have already informed Lingjing Sect, we can take this opportunity to severely inflict damage on Huo Yaer. Lingjing Sect will surely come here very quickly after hearing the news." Hua Xiaolan said softly, "Originally, we could have dealt with Huo Yaer tonight."

After a moment's silence, Hua Wuying shook his head.

He stopped, looked at Hua Xiaolan, and said in a deep voice: "This is not a good plan."

Hua Xiaolan paused and looked back in surprise: "What's wrong?"

"You will be seriously injured." Hua Wuying said calmly: "Your health is not good to begin with. If you get injured like this again, I'm afraid you will never get better."

Hua Xiaolan's eyes moved slightly, but she smiled: "So what? I am doomed to die."

"Don't you want to save your sect?" Hua Wuying asked.

Hua Xiaolan gave him a deep look and said, "I believe now... Even if I die, Young Alliance Leader, you will help me find the Millennium Nine-section Bell Grass."

"I can."

Hua Wuying suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly: "But I hope that when your sect regains its glory, you can also see that this is what you deserve."

Hua Xiaolan blinked, and the meaning in her eyes was very complicated and hard to describe.

"Does it matter whether I can see it or not?" she asked in a low voice, as if she was asking Hua Wuying, or as if she was asking herself.

Hua Wuying smiled and said, "Wan Dushan should be saved, but you have paid a lot for the sect, your happiness is also important."
