He kept scanning the shadowy areas among the surrounding trees, his hands gripping the weapon at his waist tightly, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any moment.

As a veteran mercenary who had been working in the Warcraft Mountains for many years, even though it was their first time cooperating,

Yet they could maintain a basic understanding, and in the exchange of glances, they could discern signals of danger and safety in each other's eyes.

Upon entering the Monster Mountain Range, the group slowed their pace, proceeding cautiously and fending off several attacks from monsters.

Leon and his companions followed the group to a relatively open space, which was the place where Wan Yao Zhai often stayed and rested.

"Everyone, we're almost at the herb-gathering area. Please take a break. We've walked for so long, and everyone must be tired."

After walking a while longer, the woman's soft, clear voice suddenly rang out in the quiet procession.

Their steps faltered slightly, and the entire group stopped in unison, turning around to look at the woman in the white and purple dress whose smile was pure and innocent, and nodding slightly.

After a quick discussion, a dozen mercenaries dispersed to keep watch around the perimeter, while the others sat in place, recovering the energy they had expended while traveling.

"Phew... This Xuanzhong Ruler is too heavy, it's going to kill me!"

Xiao Yan suddenly sat down on the ground, panting heavily.

"This is for your own good. Remember the three-year agreement."

Leon stood in front of Xiao Yan and said with a smile.

"Phew... Oh well, I'm stuck with this!"

Xiao Yan pursed his lips and, under Leon's cover, discreetly swallowed a Qi-restoring pill.

"Alright, you rest here for a bit. I'll go outside and see if there's a suitable place to cultivate!" Leon said with a smile.

Chapter 351, The Angry Little Fairy Doctor Burns the Venom. (First Update)

Leon stood up and slowly walked into the grove of trees to the side.

As they entered the woods, the light was dim, but this was an area that the mercenaries had previously scouted, so Leon didn't need to worry about being disturbed by monsters.

He ventured deeper into the dense forest, and after walking a distance, his dim vision suddenly brightened. He looked up and saw…

After passing through the dense forest, a rather steep cliff appeared before us, with lush green forests covering the bottom of the cliff, which was quite beautiful.

His gaze swept across the edge of the cliff, but his eyes suddenly paused. Leon touched his nose and then stopped in front of a plant with pale white flowers blooming on the edge of the cliff.

This plant has pale white flowers, and among the blooming flowers are crimson fruits, appearing and disappearing, with a faint medicinal fragrance emanating from it.

"right here……"

Leon slowly walked to the edge of the cliff, and when he reached the plants, a smile played on his lips as he slowly squatted down.

Not long after, a snow-white hand reached up from below the cliff and grabbed at the white plant.

However, he grabbed the hand that Leon offered.

The moment her delicate hand touched Leon's palm, she hesitated for a moment, then recoiled as if electrocuted. It was only for a split second.

A delicate, ethereal face emerged from beneath the cliff, looking with a hint of panic at Leon, who was squatting in front of her, chewing and smiling.

Leon looked calmly at the face that had suddenly appeared, a glint of something else flashing in his eyes, but Little Fairy Doctor, who had a guilty conscience, looked at Leon with great embarrassment.

"Could...could you lend me a hand?"

After a moment of eye contact, Little Fairy Doctor finally broke the awkward silence, speaking softly.

Leon blinked, smiled and nodded, then grabbed Little Fairy Doctor's outstretched, jade-like hand.

With a slight effort, the latter leaped from the bottom of the cliff, her delicate body tracing a beautiful arc in mid-air before gracefully soaring to the mountaintop.

"Thank you."

Her feet touched the ground, and Little Fairy Doctor whispered a thank you, quickly freeing herself from Leon's grasp. Then, her gaze subtly swept over the edge of the cliff, her slender fingers brushing a strand of hair from her forehead. Her eyes lingered on Leon's face as she softly said:

"You...you're the mercenary guard hired by Wan Yao Zhai for this project, right?"

"Ok!"

Leon nodded and replied with a smile.

Seeing that Leon readily agreed and seemed to have no intention of leaving, Little Fairy Doctor frowned slightly, her dark eyes darted around, and she pointed with her slender finger to the white plant on the edge of the cliff, smiling as she spoke:

"You seemed to want to pick this herb earlier, do you recognize it?"

"I don't know him, I just have an alchemist friend who collected it for him!" Leon said calmly.

"Since you found it first, then you can have it!" Little Fairy Doctor said with a smile.

"Whatever!" Leon casually picked the white magnolia fruit and put it into his storage ring.

"Alright, now that you've rested for so long, you're probably ready to go. Let's go!" Little Fairy Doctor said calmly.

He asked with a casual smile, seemingly nonchalant, "Why did you go down to the bottom of the cliff just now?"

As soon as Leon opened his mouth to ask the question, Little Fairy Doctor's jade hand clenched suddenly, a hint of panic flashing in her beautiful eyes, which she quickly concealed.

"It's nothing. Some herbs grow on cliffs, and I just went down to take a look."

"Really? You'd better tell the truth. I've already seen that cave!"

Leon stepped back slightly, his right hand pointing towards the location of the cave.

"It's just a cave, why are you pointing at it?" Little Fairy Doctor's pupils shrank, and she looked at Leon with some unease.

"There's a secret, and of course I'm pointing to it..."

Leon said with a smile.

"It's nothing, you're overthinking it!"

Little Fairy Doctor's expression changed, and suddenly a wisp of white powder appeared in her hands.

"This poison powder is useless against me, put it away."

Leon said with a sneer.

"Hmph, whether it works or not is not up to you!" Little Fairy Doctor waved her right hand, and a large cloud of white powder enveloped Leon.

呲——

A burning smell reached Little Fairy Doctor's nose, causing her expression to change drastically.

"I already said, this kind of thing is useless to me."

Leon, engulfed in flames, emerged from the white powder with a half-smile.

"What...what exactly do you want?" Little Fairy Doctor asked coldly.

"What... I was just asking what's inside the cave. Don't panic, I mean you no harm."

Leon stopped a few centimeters in front of Little Fairy Doctor, chewing on his food with a smile.

"What are you asking? I already said there's nothing there!"

A blush crept across Little Fairy Doctor's pretty face, slightly flustered by Leon's overwhelming aura.

"You still won't talk? Do I have to hit you before you'll tell me?"

Leon held Little Fairy Doctor's chin with his hand and said helplessly.

"You dare! If I shout right now, you and your friend will definitely be killed by those mercenaries inside!"

Little Fairy Doctor said fiercely.

"Hmm... Your threat won't work on me. Those guys might not even be able to kill us!"

Leon said nonchalantly.

"What do you want to do?"

Little Fairy Doctor said indifferently.

"I don't want anything, I just want to ask what's inside that cave!"

Leon wore a mocking expression.

"I don't know! I said I don't know!"

Little Fairy Doctor said angrily.

"really?"

Leon looked at Little Fairy Doctor's cute face and a wicked smile appeared on his lips.

"Ah! How dare you pinch me!" Little Fairy Doctor cried out, and only then did Leon remove his hand.

"Asshole, I'm going to kill you!"

Little Fairy Doctor took out several jade bottles filled with green liquid from her storage ring and angrily smashed them all in Leon's direction.

"hehe."

Leon looked at the furious Little Fairy Doctor and smiled calmly.

However, Leon showed no intention of dodging Little Fairy Doctor's four or five green jade bottles.

"Bang! Bang! Bang -"

Six consecutive sounds of objects shattering rang out. The six jade bottles that Little Fairy Doctor threw hit Leon, then fell to the ground and exploded with a bang.
