Chapter 214 has long since disappeared.

Lai Shiba struggled to move his bony fingers and rolled over.

He was lying on his back, and only then did Yu Li see that his face had been corroded to the bone, and he was barely breathing.

Under normal circumstances, he would have ridiculed the treacherous orc without hesitation, but now, looking at his dying body and thinking that Fu Ying was still in the terrible poison cave, it felt as if a red-hot iron was stuck in his throat.

Yu Li unconsciously clenched her fists, thinking to herself, "Nothing will happen... nothing will happen."

"...Hey, can you, can you not...just watch like this? Save, save my life..." Lai Shiba convulsed, his voice weak. When he turned to look at Yu Li, he was on the verge of tears, his whole body numb with pain.

Yu Li snorted coldly and turned to return to the cave, but suddenly heard Lai Shiba say, "I...I saw a female inside. You apply...apply the medicine to her, and I'll tell you about her current condition. Is that alright?"

He was panting heavily, his breath coming in a wheezing, broken bellows-like sound. He uttered a short sentence, but it seemed as if he had used all his strength.

Upon hearing this, Yu Li turned back to Lai Shiba's side almost without hesitation.

He held a jade bottle, which contained the medicine Fu Ying had left for him; the bottle still retained her unique fragrance.

A hint of reluctance flashed in Yu Li's golden eyes, but she still sprinkled the powder on Lai Shiba's hideous wounds.

He looked at the wounds on his body corroded by the poisonous fog and sneered, "He brought this on himself."

It's laughable that a toad-like beastman with poisonous attributes was corroded to the bone by the poisonous mist.

Lai Shiba glared, wanting to retort, but now he was like a beast without its claws, and could only swallow his anger.

The medicine the golden eagle used on him was left by the female when she entered the poisonous cave. He recognized it; it was extremely effective on wounds. As soon as it was applied, the excruciating pain was greatly relieved.

He had barely recovered his senses when he heard the golden eagle's barrage of questions: "How is she?"

Lai Shiba thought of Fu Ying strolling leisurely through the poisonous fog, and his eyelids twitched. He looked at Yu Li with a complicated expression: "What is the background of this female? Ordinary witches don't have her abilities. Could it be that you came from outside the Triangle Sea?"

Yu Li's expression turned cold, and she interrupted him sharply: "Stop talking nonsense! What exactly happened to her?"

Although she had just heard Fuying's voice and knew that she was alright, she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, and seeing Lai Shiba in such a miserable state, she couldn't help but feel worried.

Lai Shiba lay flat on his back, motionless: "What could possibly happen to her? She's so powerful, she's like she's at home even in the poisonous fog."

Yu Li's tense shoulders relaxed slightly, and she asked, "Have you found the herbs? Why hasn't she come out yet?"

Mentioning this, Lai Shiba's cheek twitched violently, and he grimaced in pain.

He gasped, glanced at Yu Li sideways, and said sarcastically, "Of course, what can possibly stump this female? She can do anything she sets her mind to, right? What use are we males to her?"

He had planned it all out perfectly: once the female was injured by the poisonous fog, he would descend from the sky with herbs and stage a heroic rescue. But who could have imagined that the female would be completely unafraid of the poisonous fog!

She even used some unknown means to make the poisonous fog in the poison cave even thicker and stickier!
Even a poison-attribute beastman like him couldn't withstand it, but she's doing just fine, managing to wreak havoc inside with ease!
This time, he really messed up. Not only did he get himself into trouble, but he also completely offended the female!
Hearing Lai Shiba's strange tone, Yu Li frowned, stood up, and kicked him hard.

"Ouch—" Lai Shiba arched his body like a boiled shrimp, trembling all over in pain.

Yu Li ignored him and turned back to the cave entrance.

His gilded eyes were fixed on the dark cave entrance, a deep worry churning within them.

*
After reminding Yu Li, Fu Ying turned to gaze into the deep, dark cave.

Her eyelashes lowered slightly, a cold glint flashing in her beautiful eyes, and she walked in without hesitation. This place was extremely dangerous; she had to find the source of the poisonous fog to ensure it wouldn't seep into the orcish continent.

She was certainly not a good person, nor did she deign to be a savior of the continent, but the mission was not yet complete. Now, whether for those stubborn fools or for Tuanzi and Changsheng, she could not stand idly by.

Fuying's slender figure gradually disappeared into the thick fog, her steps resolute.

The deeper they went, the thicker the poisonous fog became, and every step felt like wading through a viscous swamp.

Fu Ying's long whip cut through the air, its sharp, icy energy cleaving through the poisonous mist, only to recombine again in an instant.

She flicked her fingertips, and clusters of fluorescent light shot out from them, hovering in various corners.

Light pierced through the thick fog, casting hazy shadows on the stone wall.

Suddenly, Fuying stopped in her tracks and saw the varying depths of the patterns on the rock face ahead, with something engraved on them.

She stepped forward slowly, the fluorescent light dancing on her fingertips illuminating the dense ancient totems on the rock wall.

"A mural?" Fu Ying was slightly surprised. The fluorescent light at her fingertips flickered in the poisonous fog, and the carvings on the stone wall were faintly visible.

She frowned and stared intently at the mottled lines on the stone wall, which were distorted and unclear, making them difficult to discern.

Fuying walked along the stone wall for a while longer when he suddenly kicked something hard.

As I lowered my gaze, a corroded stone staircase came into view.

Fu Ying squinted, his long whip cleaving through the extremely thick black mist in front of the stone steps, and then flicking out several points of fluorescent light.

The halo spread like ripples on water, and when Fuying took it all in, she was somewhat shocked. An altar?

The mottled stone pillars surround a circular stone platform, its surface covered with strange patterns that are exactly the same as those on the stone wall.

Fu Ying's pupils contracted slightly, and his fingertips tightened involuntarily.

She originally thought that this poisonous cave was naturally formed, and that its depths might be the source of some kind of toxic gas. She never expected that there would be an altar here. So, the poisonous fog here was caused by humans?
After pondering for a moment, Fuying slowly stepped onto the stone steps and ascended the altar.

Reaching the center of the altar, Fuying's eyes flickered slightly. She knelt on one knee and hooked something on the altar with her fingertips.

The mottled iron chain, as thick as a wrist, was engraved with countless strange runes. A single glance at it sent a chill down one's spine, a truly ominous sight.

Iron chains? Would there be anything forged from fine iron on the orcish continent?
Fu Ying pursed her lips tightly, her mind sinking slightly as she thought of what she had just seen, and her fingertips suddenly exerted force.

"Zheng——"

The chains scraped against the altar with a harsh sound.

However, her efforts were clearly in vain; when she pulled the chain back, all she saw was a broken, irregular cross-section.

The things that were originally binding and imprisoning on the altar have long since disappeared.

As Fuying slowly straightened up, the iron chain slammed onto the altar with a sickening metallic clang.

For the first time, a look of solemnity appeared in her stunningly beautiful eyes.
