The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 821 Going deep into the tiger’s den
As the sun rose in the east, Li Ping'an, who had been sitting cross-legged all night, stood up.

"No, this toxin won't dissipate. A whole night has passed, and there's been no change. It seems that the only way to completely detoxify is to go deep into Yin-Yang Valley and find the spiritual spring at the location of the Yin-Yang Eye or some other antidote."

Qiao Wei smiled and said, "Isn't there a divine object being born inside? Let's go in and take a look."

Li Ping'an nodded, turned to look at Lin Chen, and before he could speak, Lin Chen said, "I want to go in too."

Li Ping'an said gently, "It's very dangerous inside, not only because of the poison, but also because of all kinds of monsters. Since you're not poisoned yet, you don't necessarily have to go in."

Lin Chen said softly, "Ten years ago, Kunlun teamed up to explore Yin Yang Valley. My father was among them and disappeared in Yin Yang Valley. Although I know he should be dead, I still want to go in and investigate myself, at least to fulfill a wish."

After a pause, Lin Chen smiled brightly: "Cultivators fight against the heavens and against other people. There are dangers everywhere. Are they just going to hide in their caves to cultivate forever? They have to face them eventually, don't they?"

After listening, Li Ping'an's eyes showed a slight hint of sympathy, and he stopped trying to stop them: "Alright, then let's go in together. Anyway, if we can't win, we can just run away. Even if we can't cure this poison, we won't die; it will only damage our strength."

"it is good!"

Li Ping'an instructed, "First, drink a cup of the Bird of Paradise's blood and see if it can resist the invasion of the toxins."

"Ok."

The three of them stopped after traveling some distance into the Yin-Yang Valley.

"The toxins are quite concentrated in this area. How are you feeling?"

Lin Chen felt it for a moment: "I can feel it, but it's not serious. My skin has also started to turn light blue, but it's milder than yours. It seems that the blood of the Bird of Paradise is indeed useful. It can detoxify and resist toxins."

"It's good that we can hold out. Let's continue deeper."

The three people flew at low altitude, heading towards the depths of Yin-Yang Valley.

After flying for a long time, a series of majestic mountains appeared ahead.

The three flew up to a mountain peak and found that the mountains stretched out in a circle, like the outstretched palm and the upturned fingers. Surrounded by the mountains, a basin was formed, and in the very center of the basin was a small pool of water.

What's truly terrifying is that countless monstrous beasts are lined up eerily by the pool, drinking water one after another.

Qiao Wei asked in a low voice, "The Yin-Yang Eyes and the Spirit Spring?" Li Ping'an looked around and whispered, "It should be. This area surrounded by a continuous mountain range is the Yin-Yang Eyes, and the pool in the middle is the Spirit Spring. Those demonic beasts have the ability to resist the strange poison of Yin-Yang Valley by drinking the Spirit Spring!"

Lin Chen asked softly, "So many demonic beasts are drinking from the spiritual spring, but why is it that only the blood of the Bird of Paradise can detoxify, while the blood of other demonic beasts doesn't have the same effect?"

Li Ping'an stared intently at the long line of demonic beasts below. These beasts were very disciplined and not restless at all. Moreover, despite so many beasts being together, there was no fighting or killing.

These monsters lined up to drink water at the pool, and after they had drunk their fill, they would quickly leave.

"Many of the monsters here are not of high level. Perhaps they are poisoned and feeling unwell, so they come here to drink the spring water to detoxify. They don't usually come here and don't consume much spring water. The Bird of Paradise is highly intelligent and naturally likes to eat nectar and drink spiritual spring water. Perhaps they drink it often and drink a lot, so their blood has the ability to detoxify."

The three of them lay there watching for a while, then Lin Chen asked in a low voice, "What do we do now?"

Li Ping'an thought for a moment: "See that golden lion by the pool? It must be a powerful demon, guarding this pool. It's because of its presence that these demonic beasts are so orderly..."

Lin Chen's target was not far from the pool, where a lion the size of an elephant was lazily lying down. Its skin was golden all over, and every hair on its neck was also golden. Its whole body seemed to be made of gold, which was extremely beautiful, but at the same time gave people an extremely dangerous feeling.

Li Ping'an said softly, "I will try to fetch water directly. If that doesn't work, I will lure away the golden lion. Then, Xiao Qiao, you can go and fetch as much water as possible. I will come back to find you later. Junior Brother, just lie here. I will cast a concealment spell on you. As long as you are not directly seen by the monsters, in their perception, you are just a lifeless stone."

"it is good!"

Li Ping'an formed a hand seal and slapped it onto Lin Chen. Lin Chen felt his aura suddenly weaken, and his body entered a very mysterious state.

Li Ping'an's figure flashed, instantly appearing in mid-air, and then flashed again, directly approaching the spiritual spring in the center of the basin.

At the same time, the golden lion, which had been lying lazily, suddenly turned its head, and golden lightning seemed to flash in its golden pupils.

Just as Li Ping'an lunged towards the spiritual spring, a golden lightning bolt appeared out of thin air and struck Li Ping'an. The golden lion suddenly sprang into the air and grabbed at Li Ping'an with its claw.

As the claw struck, it seemed as if cracks appeared in the very space.

Li Ping'an's strength was affected by the strange poison, so he dared not take it head-on. Moreover, there were so many demonic beasts around. If he got entangled in the fight, he might not be able to escape.

Li Pingan twisted his body to avoid the grab and turned to run.
