Chapter 72 Jin Lin is Poisoned
The hawk swung its long tail forcefully.

A mutated snake-like beast, entirely black in color, was flung out of the water.

Although its body is not as large as that of a falcon or owl, its snake body is exceptionally long.

The falcon's movements were too large, and it suddenly threw Qiao Lie, who was not holding on tightly, into the air.

"Qiao Lie!"

Qiao Xixi's pupils trembled. She reached out to grab them, but she was still holding Qiao Qiao and Qiao Ang in her arms. If she moved any further, she would fall into the water.

Qiao Lie's face tightened. The moment he fell into the water, he transformed into his beast form. His snake tail struck the Six-Eyed Flying Fish Beast and then swam to the Falcon Owl.

Qiao Xixi turned pale with fright and quickly hugged him, letting him wrap his arms around her shoulders.

The falcon's long tail kept thrashing in the water, but more and more mutated snake beasts and six-eyed flying fish beasts surrounded it.

"No, host, you need to get ashore quickly. More aquatic mutant beasts are coming this way."

Qiao Xixi saw that Jin Lin and Falcon Owl had more and more wounds. Although they were not fatal, the blood flowing from the small wounds was making the mutated beasts more and more excited.

"Falcon, Jin Lin, it's too dangerous. Let's get back to shore first."

The falcon looked at the densely packed six-eyed flying fish on the opposite bank and had no choice but to turn around.

"Jin Lin, hurry."

Jin Lin roared and lightning flashed in his hand, killing a group of six-eyed flying fish beasts. But as soon as one group died, another wave immediately took its place, giving him no chance to catch his breath.

The only option is to retreat.

The falcon's long tail slammed into the mutated snake-beast's head, instantly flattening its head. Its corpse was devoured by the six-eyed flying fish beast as soon as it floated into the water.

Qiao Xixi witnessed this scene and felt a chill run down her spine.

The falcon led them back to the shore, bent down, and put them down.

Qiao Xixi put the three cubs on the ground and turned to check the wounds on the falcon owl.

"Falcon, are you alright?"

When the falcon transformed back into human form, Qiao Xixi could clearly see that his body was covered with countless small wounds.

Seeing the worry in her eyes, Falcon said nonchalantly, "It's just a minor injury."

For a powerful male orc, such a minor injury is nothing.

But Qiao Xixi remembered that the little demon said that the six-eyed flying fish beast was poisonous.

"You weren't poisoned either?"

The falcon shook its head.

"I am a snake-beastman, and many poisons have no effect on me."

Even so, Qiao Xixi still took out the spiritual spring water to wash his wounds.

Jin Lin also returned to the shore.

Compared to the hawk, his situation looks worse.

Josh noticed that his lips had changed color.

"Jin Lin, are you poisoned?"

Jin Lin transformed back into human form and knelt on the ground.

Qiao Xixi rushed forward to help him up.

Falcon also went over and helped him to sit down on the shore.

Jin Lin felt his vision go black. He could hear Qiao Xixi's voice and wanted to tell her not to worry, but he couldn't say anything.

Falcon reached out and placed his hand on Jin Lin's chest, sending energy into his heart meridian.

He knew that Qiao Xixi cared a lot about Jin Lin, and if he died, she would definitely be sad for a long time.

He didn't want to see her sad.

"Little demon, do you have any antidote in the shop?"

"Some hosts can redeem it with just ten points."

"I want a replacement, give it to me quickly."

"Alright, host, I'll redeem it for you right away."

Qiao Xixi quickly fed the antidote pill to Jin Lin.

"Jin Lin, quick, open your mouth."

Jin Lin struggled to open his mouth and swallow the pill.

The antidote worked quickly, and Jin Lin's complexion returned to normal within minutes.

Seeing this, Falcon withdrew his hand and looked at Qiao Xixi in surprise.

His little female is so unusual.

At the same time, his eyes grew increasingly deep. An unusually beautiful female was destined to attract more males vying for her. He was determined to protect his little female.

"Xixi."

Qiao Xixi looked up at him.

"what happened?"

"Your secret must never be known to any other orc."

Qiao Xixi was taken aback but immediately understood what he meant.

"Yes, I know. I only revealed myself to you."

The falcon nodded.

Jin Lin opened his eyes, his gaze now clear.

"Jin Lin, you're awake."

"I'm sorry, Xixi, I made you worry."

Qiao Xixi shook her head, "Thank goodness you're alright."

Qiao Xixi then took out the spiritual spring water to clean his wounds.

Falcon stood up, looked around, and said, "I'll go and see if there's any other way to cross the river."

Qiao Xixi looked up when she heard the sound.

"Then be careful."

As Junxiao watched her tending to Jin Lin's wounds and showing concern for him, his usually cold and aloof expression softened slightly.

"Ah."

"Xixi, I'm fine, don't worry."

Qiao Xixi was relieved to see that he was indeed alright.

She turned to look at the river, which had returned to its previous calm, as if the scene of them being surrounded had never happened.

"How come there are so many mutated snake beasts and six-eyed flying fish beasts in this river?"

Jin Lin was also puzzled.

“When I crossed this river before, there were no such things, and I don’t know when they came here.”

He glanced at the sky; it was getting dark.

"We can only spend the night here for now, and we'll figure out how to cross the river tomorrow."

Qiao Xixi nodded and followed Jin Lin to find a vacant spot with a good view nearby.

The three children stayed obediently by Qiao Xixi's side and didn't run around.

Jin Lin gathered some firewood from the nearby area and brought it back.

They were going to spend the night in the open, with no shelter. Josie and the kids had set up several piles of firewood around their lodgings. They would light the firewood when they went to sleep to protect themselves from wild animals.

There were no more fruits or raw meat left in the space, so Qiao Xixi could only take out the dried meat and put it into the fruit to make meat soup.

When Falcon returned, it was already completely dark, and he was carrying a black-furred, long-toothed beast on his back.

Qiao Xixi's eyes lit up when she saw him catch his prey.

These were the only two prey they had caught in the past few days.

The falcon put down its prey and began processing it.

Jin Lin went over to help.

"Have you found a way to cross the river?"

The falcon shook its head.

“I walked downstream for a while, and when I tentatively crossed the river, those things followed me again.”

Jin Lin frowned.

"It's really strange that all these mutated beasts are coming this way."

Falcon hummed in agreement; it was indeed strange.

Mutant beasts dislike light and mostly live in dark places. The only reason they can migrate here in such a large area is that their previous habitats are no longer viable.

Qiao Xixi stirred the meat soup, but her mind was communicating with the little demon.

"Little demon, is there any way to cross the river?"

"Does the host still remember the long-tongued vine you planted in your field?"

"I remember, he seems to have grown quite a bit."

"The host can exchange for a ripening agent to make it mature quickly, and then you can use it to cross the river."

Using long-tongued vine?
how to use?
