Chapter 211 Hehe, I'll send you to see the Beast God
"Ha, then we'll talk when you have your eight-star mark." Lai Shiba picked at his ear, his handsome face full of mockery.

"Enough!" Fuying brushed aside the vines hanging from the rock wall, looked at the dark doorway, suddenly turned around, looked at the two people arguing, frowned, and said impatiently, "Quiet down, it's really too noisy."

Lai Shiba glanced at Yu Li, and a smile suddenly bloomed on his face like a spring stream in March.

He leaned closer and asked softly, "Female, I heard you say earlier that you were looking for some kind of herb? I've been to all the streams and brooks in this area. Why don't you tell me what kind of herb you're looking for? Perhaps I can help you?"

As he spoke, his eyes darted around, and a gentle smile spread across his handsome face.

Since he couldn't take it by force, he decided to show weakness. When he was weak, he had survived by using the same skill.

Fu Ying squinted and sized up Lai Shiba.

His eyes were lowered, and when he looked at her, they showed an unusual focus, as if there was no one else in his eyes but her. If he hadn't transformed into the beast form of a toad, this appearance would indeed have a certain ability to bewitch people.

"How is it?" Lai Shiba noticed Fu Ying's gaze, curled his lips, and took another half step closer without making a sound.

Yu Li stared coldly at Lai Shiba. If looks could kill, the latter would have been dead a thousand times over.

Fu Ying withdrew her gaze and said crisply, "The medicine I'm looking for often grows in dark and damp places. One type has only leaves and no flowers, while the other has only flowers and no leaves. These two herbs usually grow together and complement each other."

The last two herbs to be found are quite special, called "Twin Flowers and Leaves." One contains a potent poison, while the other contains life force. When the two are combined, they will generate tremendous energy, which can help the duck regenerate its wing bones.

Yu Li subtly shifted his body, imperceptibly placing himself between Lai Shiba and Fu Ying, and pondered, "Is there really such a herb?"

Fu Ying raised half of her delicate eyebrows, but before she could utter a sound, Lai Shiba had already peeked half of his face out from behind Yu Li's shoulder.

A dark, unreadable light flickered in his eyes, but his voice remained calm: "What a coincidence. I've seen the herb you mentioned before. But may I ask, female, what exactly is the use of this herb?"

Yu Li suddenly turned around, her golden hair swaying in mid-air in a sharp arc.

He stared at the cautious-looking Lai Shiba, his voice turning somber: "Do you really know about this herb?"

Lai Shiba didn't even bother to glance at Yu Li, focusing instead on Fu Ying.

Yu Liliu's golden pupils suddenly contracted, his eyes sharp, a cold sneer carrying a hint of ruthlessness: "Nonsense, you couldn't possibly know that saying such things is just to deceive the females!"

“Deception?” Lai Shiba finally gave him a condescending look and sneered, “You’re just jealous of me. You think I can help the females while you’re useless. You’re a piece of trash. No wonder the females look down on you and won’t form a bond with you.”

Yu Li's handsome face was filled with gloom, and he exuded a murderous aura. His hands, hanging at his sides, were clenched into fists, making a cracking sound.

Fu Ying glanced at Lai Shiba, her brows furrowing slightly, and said in a cold tone, "You used force first, so it's only natural that Yu Li is wary of you. Whether I form a pact with him or not has nothing to do with you. If you know where the herbs are, just say so, and I will be grateful. If you don't know and are just bragging to me here, well, then I'll send you to see the Beast God."

As she finished speaking, Fu Ying smiled, but her eyes held no trace of amusement, even a hint of malice. She wasn't known for her good temper; her tolerance towards those beastly men was for a reason, but she had little patience for others. If this toad couldn't say anything useful and wasted her time here, she'd kill him.

They had already shown compassion for the dwindling number of high-ranking orcs on the orc continent, but he insisted on coming closer.

Lai Shiba's smile froze. He was about to make a few jokes when he met Fu Ying's cold eyes. His body tensed and his heart suddenly turned cold. He knew that what the female said was true. She really had the intention to kill.

Lai Shiba's cheek twitched, and he wished he could punch himself. He was really blinded by lust. He had already gotten away, but he was still thinking about this female and had stupidly come back to her again!
This wandering orc had spent years living on the edge, always seeking advantage and avoiding harm, never provoking anything he perceived as dangerous. This time, however, he too sensed the danger. But watching her protect a half-dead male, it felt as if a fire was burning in his chest, scorching him and making it impossible for him to calm down.

Seeing that the female was about to enter the cave in the rock wall, he impulsively rushed out.

At this moment, upon hearing the female's threatening words, Lai Shiba realized how foolish he had done.

Yu Li turned her head to look at Fu Ying, her gaze sweeping over her cold and frosty eyebrows and eyes. Her thin lips were slightly pursed, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

Fu Ying lowered her eyes slightly, staring at the stiff-bodied Lai Shiba: "Nothing else to say? Then..."

She lightly traced a line in the air with her fingertip, and a chilling aura rose up. In an instant, a sharp icy arrow slowly materialized, its tail trembling slightly. The surrounding damp air seemed to freeze under this arrow, and tiny ice crystals fell in a soft rustling sound.

Although Lai Shiba was a poison-attribute beastman, he was still amphibious and had a keen sense of moisture in the air. The biting cold made him almost sleepy, so he hurriedly said, "Stop! Stop it now! Female, ancestor! I really know the kind of medicine you're talking about!"

Fu Ying's red lips curled slightly, and her slender fingertips flicked lightly on the icy arrow.

Lai Shiba's Adam's apple bobbed violently; he felt even more regretful.

He secretly composed himself, sighed, and looked up at the natural doorway in front of Fuying with a complicated expression.

After a moment, he lowered his voice and said, "The herb you mentioned is inside. But I advise you, if you're only looking for the herb, it's best not to go in. It's very dangerous inside. I've been in twice..."

As he spoke, Lai Shiba's body suddenly tensed up, as if he had recalled something terrifying.

His tone was solemn and quite serious: "The poisonous fog inside is very fierce. I don't know how it was formed. Every time I tried to go deeper, I was forced back by the poisonous gas. If I weren't poisonous, my bones would have turned to dust inside."

The wind swirling from the rock face and grotto gently stirred Fuying's long hair.

Lai Shiba secretly glanced at her, only to find that her eyelashes didn't even tremble, and he couldn't help but sigh.

As Yu Li listened, her face gradually turned pale, and her knuckles unconsciously clenched.

He turned his head to look at Fuying, his Adam's apple bobbing a few times, as if he wanted to say something but ultimately remained silent.

If we go in, we might not come back, but if we don't go in, what will we do?
He closed his eyes and thought of the males in the Black Crocodile Swamp. He knew very well that if Fu Ying died here, not only would Wu, the orc with the broken star pattern, be certain to die, but who among the remaining ones could guarantee that they would survive?
