Ziyan hurriedly approached and took out two Poison-Resolving Pills from her bosom, which she had previously obtained from her Divine Physician Master, and fed them to Yuwen Yu.
She then walked over to Wu Xiang and similarly fed him two pills.
She thought that since they were trapped in this cave for the time being, it would be better to double the dosage of the pills that originally only required one.
Hopefully, they would recover soon!
At the same time, the Demon Prince was supporting his childhood friend Yuwen Yu, using his energy to expel the poison; on the other side, Wu Xiang was also helping the unknown guard, beginning to use his energy to drive out the poison.
During this time, Ziyan could only stand in the middle of the four, quietly waiting and silently guarding them.
In such a dark place where no light could be seen, who knew what might emerge next from this underground passage? If it were their own people, that would be fine, but what if a giant python or some poisonous creature showed up? It would be easy for them to take advantage of the situation against those four.
Thinking about how anything could happen, Ziyan immediately focused all her energy and prepared herself for battle.
From then on, Ziyan remained in a state of high alert: listening carefully and watching vigilantly for any movement around her.
Fortunately, this tense period did not last long. After about half an hour, Yuwen Yu and the guard whose name Ziyan did not yet know slowly began to wake up.
No one had died, which was what everyone had hoped for.
Ziyan's tightly wound heart finally relaxed, and she looked at Yuwen Yu, who was slowly opening his eyes, with wide eyes and an excited smile.
Yuwen Yu met Ziyan's sweet smile at first glance and thought he must be seeing things. Ever since he had acted inappropriately towards her in the carriage last time, she had not looked at him directly again.
She always treated him as if he did not exist, but at this moment, she was clearly smiling at him. Moreover, her smile was incredibly beautiful and innocent.
Yuwen Yu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment until he heard Ziyan's curious voice asking, "Hey, do you remember what happened before?"
Yuwen Yu nodded silently to let her know that his mind and thoughts were perfectly normal.
Immediately, Ziyan's smile grew wider as she replied, "That's good, as long as your mind is fine. You almost scared me to death just now."
Huh? This girl actually cares about him? Yuwen Yu's heart, which had felt dead in front of her, began to thump again.
However, noticing the unusual look in his eyes, Ziyan quickly turned her head away from him.
She then walked over to Wu Xiang and the guard, gently asking, "How are you feeling now?"
The guard nodded repeatedly, "Thank you for your concern, Subordinate feels much better now."
"Mm, that's good," Ziyan smiled and nodded before asking again, "What is your name?"
The guard immediately answered, "Reporting to the master, Subordinate is called Qian Fu."
"Mm, that's a really nice name, it means wealth and blessings."
Hearing this name with such a good meaning, Ziyan couldn't help but praise it.
After a little while, seeing that both Qian Fu and Yuwen Yu seemed to have stabilized, Ziyan asked the question that puzzled her the most: "How did you get through that door and how did you come out from it?"
"I fell into the Deep Pool and entered a huge whirlpool. At the bottom of the whirlpool was an incredibly strong suction force, and then I was swept into an underground river. The current of the river was also extremely rapid. No matter how I struggled, it was useless, so I went along with the swift current until I was finally pushed into a dark cave where I encountered Qi Zhanggui."
Qian Fu was the first to recount his experience after falling from the Fire Ship and meeting Yuwen Yu.
"Mm, then it seems that Qi Zhanggui's experience during this time should be similar to Qian Fu's?"
Ziyan turned to look at Yuwen Yu a couple of times, but there was a hint of detachment in her expression.
Yuwen Yu noticed that hint of detachment and nodded slightly, feeling a bit down as he said, "Hmm."
"And then you all traveled together?"
Ziyan took one last glance at Yuwen Yu before shifting her gaze to Qian Fu.
"Yes, Master. After that, I traveled with Qi Zhanggui."
Qian Fu nodded repeatedly.
"What happened next? How did you get poisoned?"
Ziyan continued to press for details, unwilling to miss any aspect of the story.
"Later, I followed Qi Zhanggui. We walked along that cave until we came across two caverns. We were afraid that splitting up might lead to something bad happening; after all, there is strength in numbers. So we chose to go together into one of the caverns."
"We went deeper and deeper until we encountered two stone doors. When we chose the left door and pushed it open together, a huge python with purple and green patterns emerged from inside. Then we fought with it. It sprayed us with a liquid that fell like raindrops, and not long after that, I couldn't hold on anymore and fainted."
After finishing his account, Qian Fu couldn't help but swallow hard. Seeing his clearly dry mouth, Wu Xiang took off a water bottle made of skin from his waist and handed it directly to Qian Fu after removing the cork.
Qian Fu thanked him and immediately raised the bottle to take a couple of big gulps.
Seeing that she couldn't get any more information from him, Ziyan turned her gaze back to Yuwen Yu.
Everything was unspoken! Yuwen Yu certainly understood that Ziyan wanted to know how they ended up here afterward.
He replied, "Later on, I could only help him escape. To quickly avoid that huge beast, I assisted him into the stone cave on the right, and then when the cave opened, I saw you all."
Upon hearing how Yuwen Yu had come to this side, Ziyan couldn't help but gasp: fortunately, the stone door had closed quickly; otherwise, if that Giant Beast had entered here, what would the consequences have been?
This meant that right behind the stone door through which they had just exited, there was a Giant Beast guarding it. Just thinking about it was terrifying!
Thus, the moment Yuwen Yu stopped speaking, everyone's gaze instinctively turned towards that stone door.
At the same time, Ziyan inexplicably shivered.
However, in an instant, Ziyan's mind replayed what Qian Fu had said: they had encountered two doors at that time, and one of them had released a highly venomous giant python. So why was it guarding the left door instead of the right one?
What did this imply? Ziyan's heart suddenly raced faster, and it was an inexplicable acceleration. Could it be...
Ziyan quickly raised his eyes and met the gaze of his own Demon Prince.
Ziyan clearly noticed a flash of excitement in Ling Yuxuan's eyes. Then... they must have thought of the same thing: the place where the giant python was waiting was most likely the location of the second batch of treasures.
However, according to Qian Fu, the giant python had a pattern of purple and green colors. In both his past life and this life, Ziyan had never seen a Python with purple markings.
Suddenly at that moment, Ziyan recalled reading in the book "Jianghu Pharmacopoeia" from Divine Physician Master that if a certain creature consumed a plant called Seven-Colored Soul-Capturing Grass, its blood would gradually turn purple, leading to purple markings appearing on its body. This plant was said to be highly toxic, but creatures consuming it would not die; instead, they would transfer its toxins onto themselves.
With this in mind, the only possibility was that the legendary giant python had consumed that grass. Since snakes do not eat grass, the only plausible scenario would be that someone deliberately fed this grass to the snake—perhaps through its juice.
The purpose of this would be to have the snake guard these second batch of treasures.
Thinking this way, Ziyan looked up again to meet his Demon Prince's gaze.
She shook her head at him, fully aware of what he was thinking. However, the thought of the venomous Python made Ziyan feel a bit disheartened.
By shaking her head at him, she was naturally hinting that he should not act rashly. This was no joke; although she still had some antidote on her, it was possible that their survival was merely due to Qian Fu and Yuwen Yu's luck—the giant python had simply sprayed too little venom at them at that moment.
What if it suddenly became aggressive and sprayed enough venom to cause death within a very short, fixed period? According to the Pharmacopoeia, that particular herb could transform into a more potent toxin after being digested by certain organisms.
Therefore, they had to be even more cautious moving forward; they could not afford to let their guard down!
However, Ling Yuxuan merely smiled faintly at Ziyan and took out his most precious Jade Flute from his bosom.
He then sat down on the spot and began to play the Jade Flute quietly.
In an instant, a melodious sound filled the cave. The flute's notes echoed continuously within the Cave. Ziyan found the sound somewhat deafening, with an extraordinary penetrating power...
After observing for a short while, Ziyan realized why the flute sounded so powerful. Seeing the beads of sweat forming on her Demonic Charming Man's forehead made it clear that he was using his internal energy to play this special piece of music.
Unable to guess what he intended to do next, Ziyan and the others dared not disturb him. Thus, they quietly watched and listened as he played the flute.
Of course, they harbored some hope in their hearts for an unexpected discovery, wishing for a breakthrough that would allow them to escape their dire situation quickly. This was what most of them wished for deep down.
At that moment, they had no idea that they were about to encounter events and extraordinary gains beyond their wildest imagination.
Of course, there was also a terrifying scene awaiting them ahead—something they were completely unaware of at this time!
