I was forced to leave the world of immortal cultivation after being transformed into a loser.

"Quack...quack..." The ice toad gathered strength in its hind legs and prepared to pounce on Gu Liyue.

Nie Hengzhou drew his sword with a serious expression, concentrated his spiritual power on the sword, and shouted, "Gu Liyue, retreat!"

Gu Liyue took a step back and stood behind Nie Hengzhou. She didn't notice that Nie Hengzhou had changed the way he addressed her.

She felt extremely sick when she saw the ice toad. Thinking that her own strange fire could fight it, it should not be a problem for Nie Hengzhou to defeat it.

As Nie Hengzhou swung his sword, the sword energy carried spiritual power and slashed towards the ice toad. It kicked its hind legs, avoided the sword energy, and pounced towards this side.

Seeing the ice toad pressing down on them like a mountain, Nie Hengzhou swung his sword with all his strength, but the force had already been exerted but the follow-up force had not yet been recovered.

Gu Liyue took a step forward, stretched out her palm, raised the temperature of the strange fire to the highest, and struck out with all her strength.

In the apocalypse, this is how she dealt with those zombies that came close to her. Her strange fire can adjust the temperature and can also break the poisonous miasma.

The ice toad's large eyes were filled with fear when it saw the strange fire. It turned and released a stream of spiritual energy toward the cave wall, then spun around and landed on the side, avoiding Gu Liyue's strange fire attack.

Gu Liyue looked at its actions and immediately understood that it was afraid of her own strange fire.

"Quack...quack..." It cried in dissatisfaction and anxiety, but it didn't dare to attack, nor did it want to let them go. It had dug up so many spiritual herbs, it was impossible for it to let them go like that.

Nie Hengzhou also noticed something. He gave Gu Liyue a look, and the two of them walked forward and watched it shrink back.

Gu Liyue suppressed her nausea and looked at it and said, "Get out of the way, let us go."

The Ice Toad was blocking the corner, staring at them with wide eyes. It didn't sense the presence of the strange fire just now, and watched Gu Liyue and the others walk towards it step by step.

It suddenly stuck out its tongue and rolled towards Nie Hengzhou's door. Nie Hengzhou immediately raised the sword in his right hand to block it. Seeing that it was attacking by surprise without any martial ethics, Gu Liyue immediately slapped it with a palm.

When the ice toad saw the strange fire appear, its tongue only touched Nie Hengzhou's arm and it didn't have time to wrap around it, so it could only retract, but it was still hit by the strange fire.

Although the ice toad's tongue only touched his arm, Nie Hengzhou felt a burning pain in his hand and he couldn't help but gasp.

The ice toad's tongue was hit by the strange fire, and it rolled on the ground in pain. The entire cave was shaken and rubble kept falling from the ceiling.

Seeing the Ice Toad roll to the side, making room for the turn, Nie Hengzhou endured the pain and said, "Let's go."

Gu Liyue supported Nie Hengzhou and walked towards the corner, just when they were about to turn outside.

The ice toad angrily spit out venom at Gu Liyue. Gu Liyue was only focused on watching the road and helping Nie Hengzhou get out quickly, and did not notice the ice toad's actions.

Nie Hengzhou felt a stream of air coming towards him quickly. He pushed Gu Liyue to the ground, threw out his spirit sword, and then fell down.

The spirit sword swiftly pierced one of the ice toad's eyes.

It wailed and rolled on the ground again.

Everything happened in a flash. Gu Liyue only felt a stream of liquid brushing past her body. The world spun around her, and she was pinned to the ground by Nie Hengzhou.

Then she heard the wailing sound of the ice toad. She immediately pushed Nie Hengzhou away, stood up, and slapped the ice toad with one palm. The strange fire in the palm of her palm floated onto the ice toad, and the whole ice toad caught fire.

She then helped Nie Hengzhou up and walked out of the cave.

Nie Hengzhou pulled a bottle of detoxification pills from his Qiankun bag and swallowed one. He then stuffed the rest into Gu Liyue's hands. He bit his tongue, trying to sober himself up.

Gu Liyue had already brought Nie Hengzhou to the cave entrance. Nie Hengzhou cast a spell, and the spirit sword stopped at his feet. Nie Hengzhou said, "Go up."

Gu Liyue helped him stand on the sword, and the sword immediately flew up, passed through the waterfall, and stopped at the edge of the deep pool.

When Gu Liyue helped him down, he was already unconscious.

At this time, it was already completely dark. Gu Liyue had never spent a night in the forest of the Xiuxian world, and she didn't know what to do.

She looked at the unconscious Nie Hengzhou and checked his injuries first, finding that his lower back was burned by the venom of the ice toad.

She put Nie Hengzhou on the grass by the pond, took off his clothes, tore off a piece of cloth, wet it in the deep pond, and used it to wipe the area burned by the venom.

She thought about it, took out the spiritual spring water from the space, fed him some, and used the rest to clean his wound. She felt relieved when she saw that the redness and swelling on the wound had subsided a little.

She thought that wild beasts were afraid of fire, so monsters should be afraid of it too, so she picked up some dry firewood nearby and started a fire. Then she remembered that Nie Hengzhou's hand was also caught by the ice toad's tongue. Sure enough, she saw that his right forearm was red and swollen. She took some spiritual spring water and washed his hand.

She had just finished washing and wanted to leave, but Nie Hengzhou grabbed her hand and pulled her. She threw herself on Nie Hengzhou, who held her hand tightly.

Gu Liyue had lived two lives and had never been in love. She just felt that the man's aura surrounded her, making her blush.

Then I heard him mumbling, "Don't... leave... me, don't... abandon... me, mother."

“…” The subtle atmosphere disappeared as soon as the word “mother” was heard.

Gu Liyue looked at him with his eyes closed, realizing he was dreaming. She then looked at his face carefully, and saw no signs of fever.

Could it be that the ice toad's saliva is poisonous? I don't know what to do now.

"Mr. Nie, wake up, Mr. Nie." She patted his face with her hand, only to see that he looked in pain, but showed no sign of waking up.

She tried to break free, but Nie Hengzhou felt her struggle and held her tighter.

Gu Liyue had no choice but to call Xiaoxuan out.

"Hey, why did you jump on someone, and a shirtless man at that."

"Xiao Xuan, what do you mean naked? Can't you see he's covered with clothes?" Gu Liyue blushed when Xiao Xuan said that and quickly changed the subject, "Stop making fun of him and see if he's poisoned."

"Is he sprayed by the venom of that ice toad? It doesn't look like he was poisoned too seriously."

"Oh, that liquid just now should be the venom of the ice toad. He blocked the venom for me." Gu Liyue said thoughtfully, "He took a pill."

"Then it should be fine. The ice toad's poison is quite special. Besides causing physical damage, it can also cause hallucinations. Maybe he's in a state of hallucination. As long as he wakes up, he'll be fine."

"What if I can't wake up?"

The baby voice said something that didn't match her tone at all: "Then I will die. I may die in extreme pain, or I may die smiling in a sweet dream."
