In the dry cave, the strong firelight reflected on the stone wall, and a man wearing a tan hooded cloak sat beside the fire.
Next to it is a white-brown squirrel. At this moment, it is holding a pine cone on the ground and biting it one by one.
Zi Yang, who was leaning against the stone wall, suddenly opened his eyes. He glanced at the cave. He was so weak that he wanted to stand up, but struggled for a few times before giving up.
When the squirrel that was eating pine nuts heard the noise, it immediately jumped on the shoulders of the man wearing a tan hooded cloak and exposed its sharp front teeth at Zi Yang, as if to warn him not to mess around.
The man wearing a brown hooded cloak said calmly: "It doesn't matter, you can eat what you have and don't worry about him."
As soon as Ziyang heard the voice of the other party, he smiled and asked, "Girl, you saved me?"
"Save you?" The woman smiled coldly and said, "You are wrong. I just have a few questions to ask you. If your answers satisfy me, I may let you go. Otherwise, you will have no choice but to die." It’s here.”
Zi Yang sighed softly and said helplessly: "I'm just a passerby who accidentally entered here. I don't know everything around me. It's useless for you to ask me."
"It's useless?" the woman said dissatisfiedly: "It seems that you have a tough mouth. Since you don't want to say it, I don't bother to ask you. You should just prepare to wait here to die."
When Ziyang saw her getting up to leave, he immediately begged for mercy: "Hey, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, just ask. I will tell you everything I know."
Currently, he was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to stand up. If the woman really left, then he would really have no choice but to wait here for death.
In any case, in order to survive, Ziyang must first stabilize the woman in front of him, because she may be the only human being here, and only she can save herself from this predicament.
After hearing what he said, the woman sat by the fire again and asked, "How did you find this place? How many people are there outside?"
Zi Yang frowned and was stunned. Apparently, the woman's words made him confused.
Seeing that he was silent for a long time, the woman asked, "What? Is this question difficult to answer?"
He did not dare to be negligent and answered truthfully: "No, no, no, I told you, I accidentally entered this place alone. When I came here, there was no one outside at all."
"No one? You really don't cry until you see the coffin! Since you are so uncooperative, I will step on one of your legs first so that you can understand that there is a price to pay for lying."
The moment he saw her getting up, Zi Yang said hurriedly: "I really didn't lie to you. I am just one person. I really didn't find anyone else on the way I came. You have to believe me."
His tone didn't sound like the woman was lying, so she sat on the ground again, turned her back to Zi Yang and asked, "Believe you? Do you know where this place is?"
Ziyang answered truthfully: "It's engraved on the stone tablet outside that this place is Foggy Valley. As for the rest, I don't know."
Seeing that the woman was silent for a long time, he said again: "I'm just hungry and want to cross this mountain forest as soon as possible, so I came here."
"You should know very well that the fog in this forest is thick, and I got lost not long after walking here."
"Also! I don't mean to hurt your squirrel, I just want to touch it."
As soon as he said this, the squirrel that was eating pine nuts next to the woman suddenly raised its head and looked at Ziyang with its agile blue eyes.
Zi Yang smiled awkwardly. The squirrel ignored him and continued eating pine nuts. He said, "This squirrel of yours seems to be able to understand our conversation."
The woman stretched out her white and tender hands and touched its head, and said dotingly: "It knows a little bit about it."
Seeing that the woman's attitude had softened, he smiled and asked, "Hey, do you have anything to eat here?"
She looked sideways at the squirrel beside her and said: "Xiao Qi, give him some of your things, and you will take him out of here later..."
Zi Yang said directly: "No need. The fog in this forest is poisonous. Since you are fine with it, you must have the antidote in your hand, right? Just give me the antidote."
She and the squirrel in front of her were the only ones in the woods. Obviously, she must have the antidote in her hand, otherwise, she and the squirrel would not be alive until now.
The woman said calmly: "There is not much fog in this place. You don't need to take the antidote. Your body will be able to move after a while."
Zi Yang's tone was full of pleading: "No. You'd better give me the antidote. I can't get out without the antidote."
The woman's face turned cold, and she warned in a cold voice: "If you dare to say more, I will kill you now!"
"Don't, don't, don't give it. If you don't give it, I won't give it." He looked at the squirrel named Xiaoqi with a smile and said, "Xiaoqi, bring me some pine nuts."
The squirrel hesitated for a moment, then looked at the woman with its small eyes. When she nodded, it put the pine nut in Ziyang's hand. He said, "No, no, I can't move my hand yet. Just let it go." In my mouth."
As he spoke, he opened his mouth, and the squirrel jumped to his shoulder with the pine nuts and put the pine nuts into his mouth.
After Ziyang had eaten a little, the woman reminded him: "Let him eat less. Eating too much will not be good for you."
As soon as she finished speaking, the squirrel came to the woman with pine nuts. Ziyang chewed the pine nuts in his mouth and frowned and asked: "Don't, I just eat a few pine nuts from it. What's wrong with it?" ?”
The woman said: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Leave as soon as you can move your hands and feet."
She didn't want to say it, and Zi Yang didn't ask any more questions. He changed the topic and said, "From what you just said, it seems that you were being hunted and you entered here under forced circumstances?"
She said calmly: "So what if it is yes or no? Does this have anything to do with you?"
Zi Yang blinked slightly and said with interest: "Why are they chasing you?"
The woman's voice sank and she said a little impatiently: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. You talk too much."
He knew in his heart that the woman and the squirrel could live here without being restricted by the fog, which meant that she was not an ordinary person.
Either her physique is different from ordinary people, or she has an antidote in her hand. No matter what the reason is, Ziyang is still full of curiosity about her abilities.
Since this Wugu can block the people who are chasing her, it is obvious that this place may be a restricted area, and the person who can walk around here must be special.
In order to make her let down her guard, Zi Yang said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. Why don't you still refuse to believe me? By the way, my name is Zi Yang, what's your name?"
The woman threatened: "Don't blame me for not warning you in advance. If you don't stop asking questions, I will cut off your tongue."
He explained patiently: "I'm really not a bad person. There should be many people chasing you, right? Do you think they only sent me here?"
"Besides, I don't know the danger here. They are from the Western Continent, so they can't and don't understand it, right?"
The woman looked a little confused and said, "What? What I heard from you is that you are not from the Western Continent?"
Zi Yang immediately said: "I won't hide it from you. I am from the Northern Continent. Also, I know that you people from the Western Continent hate the creatures in the Northern Continent, but I am from the Northern Continent."
The woman was extremely angry and said: "Don't look down on people here! Don't compare those incompetent idiots with me. People in the Northern Continent are also human beings. I will not take my anger out on you because of the Evil Sword God."
"You can call me the source of all poisons. This is the name they gave me."
Zi Yang didn't pay attention and said with a smile: "The source of all poisons? The source of viruses?"
It was originally a joke, but the woman didn't think so. She replied quite proudly: "You just understand. If you make me unhappy, you don't even know how to die."
"Cough cough cough, cough cough cough..."
After hearing her cough, the squirrel nearby dropped the pine nuts in his hand, jumped on her shoulders, patted her back with his front paws, and made a squeaking sound.
Zi Yang heard her coughing sound strange, as if she was about to cough out her lungs. He whispered, "Are you okay?"
She wiped away the blood from the corner of her mouth, looked sideways at the tearful squirrel over her shoulder, and said, "It's okay, it'll be fine in a while."
The squirrel squeaked off her shoulder, picked up the pine nuts from the ground, then jumped on her shoulder again and handed the pine nuts to her.
She smiled and took the pine nuts, and touched the squirrel's little head with her jade hands, but the squeaking sound in the squirrel's mouth did not stop.
The woman smiled and said, "Stop screaming, it's okay."
Zi Yang may not have seen it, but the squirrel could clearly see that the woman had just coughed up a lot of blood. The reason why it was so nervous was because it was worried about her body.
After all, it has followed the woman for many years and has a pretty good understanding of her physical condition.
Zi Yang asked in a low voice: "Hey, are you injured?"
After a long time, without any reply from the woman, he said again: "If you are injured, I can help you."
Before the woman could speak, the squirrel standing on her shoulder hurriedly came to Zi Yang. It pulled Zi Yang's hand with its two front paws, but failed to pull him away.
Zi Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will be able to move in a moment. If she is injured, I will let her recover as soon as possible."
The squirrel jumped on his shoulder and whispered something to his ear. Ziyang frowned and said, "What did you say? I can't understand."
Seeing Squirrel's anxious look, he comforted her with a smile: "Don't worry, I will try my best to save her."
"As soon as he has the ability to move, you take him out of here." Instead of being grateful, the woman warned the squirrel.
After saying that, she took out some bottles and jars from her Lingxuan bag and placed them in front of her, not knowing what to do.
As soon as she said this, Squirrel lowered his head in despair. Ziyang thought about it carefully and said naturally: "I don't want to help you, I just don't want to owe you a favor."
The woman ignored him. She kept her back to Zi Yang from beginning to end. Of course, he didn't care about the woman's cold attitude.
