Western Continent Foggy Valley
Ziyang's eyes moved as he was sleeping with his back against the stone wall. He always felt like something was stepping on his chest. When he opened his eyes, he found Squirrel Xiaoqi standing on his hind legs and staring at him.
After seeing Zi Yang wake up, its dim pupils suddenly became much brighter. Although it couldn't speak, it knew that Zi Yang had said he would help her.
Therefore, when Zi Yang opened his eyes, he was quite happy.
Zi Yang looked at it and smiled. Just as he was about to cast his eyes on the woman beside the fire, he heard the clatter of bottles and cans.
He couldn't help but asked: "Hey, what are you doing?"
The woman didn't look back, she was still doing her own thing, and said calmly: "It seems you can move around freely now, take him away."
Squirrel Xiaoqi looked at Ziyang helplessly, with a smile on his lips and said, "Let's go? I said I would help you, and I will never break my promise."
"Of course, if you have any disease, then I can't do anything about it, but as long as you are injured by a sharp weapon, I can help you."
The woman ignored him, looked sideways and said coldly: "Didn't you hear what I said? What are you waiting for? Take him away quickly!"
Squirrel Xiaoqi raised his eyes to look at Ziyang, reluctantly jumped off him, and prepared to take him out of the cave.
Zi Yang stood up and said with a smile: "Hey, I don't like to owe people favors. Just let me help you once. In this way, we will be even. Do you think that's okay?"
The woman placed the fist-sized bottle in her hand on the ground. After hesitating for a moment, she turned her back to him and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but since you can't help me, you'd better leave here as soon as possible."
After saying that, she picked up the bottle on the ground again, as if she was going to prepare something.
Zi Yang said a little persistently: "No, you didn't say anything. How do you know I can't help you?"
Seeing that the woman was silent, he frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then sat on the ground again with his back against the stone wall, and asked in a low voice: "You must have been poisoned, right?"
The woman paused, and without hiding anything from him, she answered truthfully: "You are right, I am indeed poisoned."
"Okay, should you give up now? Let Xiaoqi take you away quickly."
Squirrel Xiaoqi pointed at the woman with his front paw, and then made a gesture of dispensing medicine. Following the smell of the mixed medicine, he fell to the ground.
Zi Yang naturally understood what it meant, and also understood why the woman wanted him to take the suffocating water she had prepared, because she didn't want him to be like her.
He sighed softly and said, "You must have been preparing poisons for many years, right? Inhaling the smell of poisons for a long time, the toxins accumulate in the body, and over time, you will be poisoned, that's why you cough so badly."
The woman said in a calm tone: "If you want to get something, you have to pay a corresponding price. Also, I know my own body very well. This kind of poison is not fatal to me. I have Ways to suppress it.”
Zi Yang shook his head and smiled, and said: "It cannot be completely eradicated. Even if you can survive for a few years, what will you do after those few years?"
He recalled the woman's cough just now and knew that she probably wouldn't live long. A few years would be too many for her.
In his opinion, it would be good for a woman to survive for one or two years. In addition, she is still preparing poison, so it is unknown whether she can survive for one or two years.
The woman was a little unconvinced and said: "How do you know that I can't prepare the solution?"

medicine? "
Ziyang felt that she was deceiving herself. If she had the ability to prepare an antidote, she would not be like this now, and no one would make fun of their own lives.
When she learned that she was poisoned, she must have tried hundreds of ways to detoxify, but as you can imagine, they all ended in failure.
Obviously, the poison she was poisoned was not simple. At least, she couldn't prepare an antidote in a short time.
However, what surprised Ziyang was that from what the woman said just now, she not only knew how to use poison, but also had some medical skills.
He smiled flatly and said, "If you could prepare an antidote, I'm afraid the poison in your body would have been cured long ago, right?"
Seeing that the woman lowered her head and said nothing, he continued: "By the way, who are the people chasing you?"
"They are from the Royal Sky Chamber of Commerce." The woman said carefully: "However, they are not chasing me. To be precise, they want to detain me in order to make me work for them."
The squirrel Xiaoqi jumped on Ziyang's chest and looked at him with particularly kind eyes. He smiled and raised his hand to touch its soft hair, then cast his eyes on the woman and said, "Listen to what you said, you just came from Did he escape from their hands?"
The woman nodded and said: "That's right, Xiaoqi and I entered Foggy Valley three days ago in order to avoid those people from the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce. You should be very clear that most people would not dare to enter a place like Foggy Valley at will. .”
Zi Yang thought about it carefully and said slightly puzzled: "There is one thing I don't quite understand. The Huangkong Chamber of Commerce you mentioned should be a very powerful force in the Western Continent. Why are you unwilling to work for them?"
"Besides, you are currently quite poisoned. If you join the Royal Sky Chamber of Commerce, they will definitely help you find an antidote."
"Join the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce?" The woman smiled coldly and said righteously: "I will not hurt others for the sake of my life. This is why I want to escape from the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce."
"Although they have countless Origin Stones and property in their hands, which is more than enough to save my life, I have my own principles as a human being and do not kill innocent people."
Zi Yang's face hardened, and he asked with a smile: "Oh? You mean, the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce wants you to poison other people?"
The woman nodded and elaborated: "You are new here, so you may not have seen or heard of some things, so it is normal that you don't know about the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce."
"I can tell you clearly that they are a group of people who are crazy about profit. They can even be described as robbing the Origin Stone openly."
Zi Yang opened his mouth slightly and said with confusion on his face: "Robbing it openly? No way... There are many forces in the Western Continent, but no one dares to steal the Origin Stone openly."
Seeing that Ziyang didn't believe it, the woman said, "You will see it in the future. Their behavior is even more despicable than an open robbery."
"The poison in Wugu can make you fall into a deep sleep, and the poison I prepared can control people's thoughts. It is precisely because of this that you want to win over me."
"However, there are many drug users in the Western Continent, and I don't know if they will find anyone else."
Zi Yang paused and said, "These... are all people from the Western Continent, and they actually refuse to let go of their own compatriots?"
"Compatriots?" The woman sneered and said, "You are wrong. In their eyes, they only have the Origin Stone. As for compatriots, they don't care at all."
"What's even more ridiculous is that some people who were kept in the dark actually believed them. They are really stupid to the extreme."
Zi Yang said indifferently: "People can be deceived for a while, but
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
They will not be deceived forever, one day they will understand. The Royal Sky Chamber of Commerce should be a prestigious and top force in the Western Continent, right? "
The woman said: "The Royal Sky Chamber of Commerce was originally an ordinary chamber of commerce in the Western Continent. But as the chamber of commerce grew bigger and bigger, they earned more and more Origin Stones. Gradually, they used the Origin Stones in their hands to hire thugs to escort goods. , and also to protect important figures in the Chamber of Commerce."
"The Royal Sky Chamber of Commerce is now at its peak. Their goal is far more than just earning Origin Stones, but they want to dominate the Western Continent."
"It's just that they don't dare to jump out due to the pressure from other forces."
"But the Royal Sky Chamber of Commerce has recruited a large number of powerful people in recent years, which is why they use any means to earn Origin Stones."
"Oh, okay, I understand." Ziyang nodded, turned his eyes to Squirrel Xiaoqi, and said, "Let's go, take me out of this hellish place."
It squeaked a few times and shook its head. Although Ziyang couldn't understand what it was saying, judging from its behavior, he also understood what it meant.
The woman said without looking back: "Xiao Qi is obedient, take him away."
Zi Yang smiled and said, "Is your squirrel so intelligent? It looks like it's afraid that I won't come back."
He held the two front paws of the squirrel Xiaoqi and said patiently: "Xiaoqi, I just went out to inquire about the situation. If there are no people chasing you outside, I will come back right away."
After Squirrel Xiaoqi heard what he said, he immediately jumped off him and walked in front of him to lead the way.
Zi Yang stood up and was about to follow when he suddenly said to the woman: "By the way, I can't resist the poisonous mist outside. Can you give me the antidote?"
When the woman heard this, she immediately laughed out loud: "Actually, Xiaoqi already gave you the antidote last time."
Zi Yang couldn't help but confirm again: "Ah? Those pine cones it picked from the pine trees are the antidote?"
The woman said directly: "That's right! The trees in the Foggy Valley have been shrouded in poisonous fog for so long, and they have a certain degree of immunity. Therefore, the fruits on the trees can basically help you resist the poisonous fog."
"It's just that you were too careful not to eat it last time, so you wouldn't understand that the antidote is by your side."
Zi Yang smiled a little awkwardly and said, "Unlike you, I have researched on things like poison, so it's normal that I don't dare to eat them."
"Besides, the reason why no one dares to enter this place is because they don't know that the antidote is the fruit on the tree."
The woman changed the topic and said seriously: "When you go out, take Xiaoqi with you. I will be dispensing medicine these days, and it is not convenient for him to be here."
Upon hearing this, Squirrel Xiaoqi immediately passed by Zi Yang and ran to the woman's side in the blink of an eye, holding tightly to the hem of her clothes with his two front paws.
She rubbed Squirrel Xiaoqi's head and explained gently: "You have nothing to do here, so just go out with him. Besides, you are a little tired of staying here for the past few days, right?"
Squirrel Xiaoqi immediately shook his head, as if unwilling to follow Zi Yang.
The woman said in a slightly serious tone: "Be obedient, he is not a bad person, he will bring you back."
Seeing that it refused to leave, Ziyang had no choice but to say: "Let's go, Xiaoqi. The sooner we go out, the sooner we can come back. If you stay here for a moment longer, she will have to go out a moment later."
As soon as he said this, Squirrel Xiaoqi obviously hesitated for a moment, and then he reluctantly let go of the woman's clothes, quickly jumped on Zi Yang's shoulders, and walked out of the cave with him.
