Magical herbs are within reach, but dangers abound

After defeating Captain Wu's group of weaklings, Bi Yao and Li Yuan marched towards the spiritual herbs with high spirits, as if they were returning in triumph.

However, both of them knew clearly in their minds that this spiritual ape was not a vegetarian. Did it want to take the spiritual herbs?

It's not that easy!

And Captain Wu doesn't seem like someone who will give up easily. It would be exciting if he makes a surprise attack.

As expected, this road is not smooth at all, it is even more difficult than the Shu Road!

Sometimes there are vine traps that appear out of nowhere, like spider webs, which can tie you up tightly if you are not careful; sometimes there are psychedelic miasma that make people dizzy and almost fly away on the spot.

This spirit ape is worthy of being the guardian beast. He is very good at playing "escape room" and is really a master at making fun of people.

Bi Yao and Li Yuan moved forward cautiously, as if walking on a tightrope, for fear of accidentally triggering some mechanism.

Li Yuan looks careless at ordinary times, but he is quite reliable at critical moments. He explores the way and provides cover all the way, just like a responsible bodyguard.

"Yaoyao, be careful!" Li Yuan was quick-witted and quick-handed. He grabbed Bi Yao and barely avoided a sharp spike that shot out from the ground. The spike was emitting a faint green light, and it was obvious that it was poisoned.

"Oh my god, this is too insidious!" Bi Yao was still in shock and couldn't help but complain.

But as if it weren't for the rain, at this moment, Bi Yao missed a step and rolled down the hillside.

"Ah!" Bi Yao screamed and felt a sharp pain in her ankle. It seemed that she had twisted it.

Seeing this, Li Yuan's heart was in his throat. He rushed down and hugged Bi Yao.

"Yaoyao, how are you?" He asked anxiously, his eyes full of heartache.

Bi Yao gritted her teeth and shook her head, "It's okay, I just twisted it." Although she said it was okay, the beads of sweat on her forehead revealed her pain at the moment.

"Don't move yet." Li Yuan carefully helped Bi Yao sit down and gently checked her ankle, which had begun to swell.

At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew by... Li Yuan looked up, his eyes stern: "Not good..."

After the cold wind passed, the shadows of the trees swayed and made rustling sounds, just like a classic scene in a horror movie.

Li Yuan looked around vigilantly, protecting Bi Yao behind him, and a long sword with a cold glow appeared in his hand.

"Hiss..." Bi Yao took a breath, not because her feet hurt, but because she found that the trees around her seemed... moving?

"Yaoyao, do you feel that there is something wrong with these trees?" Li Yuan's voice was low and solemn.

"Nonsense, of course it's wrong! They're moving!" Bi Yao couldn't help but complain, "Isn't this spirit ape a plant magician? Why is he using this trick?"

As it turned out, Bi Yao's complaints were actually quite effective.

These trees were indeed controlled by the spirit apes. Like well-trained soldiers, they slowly surrounded Bi Yao and Li Yuan.

"Oh my god, this team is much stronger than Captain Wu's team!" Bi Yao exclaimed.

"Don't be afraid, Yaoyao, I'm here!" Li Yuan gripped the sword tightly in his hand, his eyes firm.

Although Li Yuan said not to be afraid, he was still unsure.

This spirit ape's tricks are endless, and it's really hard to cope with them.

At this moment, Bi Yao suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up: "Wait! I think I found a pattern!"

She pointed at the moving trees and analyzed, "Look, the paths these trees follow actually have traces. They seem to be following some kind of formation. As long as we find the center of the formation..."

Bi Yao is indeed a time traveler. Modern people think differently and he quickly analyzed the pattern of the spirit ape's "eye-catching trick".

Under her guidance, Li Yuan and she worked in perfect harmony and actually avoided most of the attacks from the "moving trees" and successfully found a "safe passage" leading to the spiritual grass.

Li Yuan looked at Bi Yao with admiration in his eyes: "Yaoyao, you are so smart!"

Bi Yao raised her eyebrows proudly: "Of course, don't you see who I am!"

Just as they were about to reach the location of the spiritual herbs, a figure suddenly fell from the sky and blocked their way.

"Brother Li Yuan, the spiritual herb should belong to me!" The person who came was Fairy Lin, who had admired Li Yuan for a long time.

She was wearing a pink dress and looked ethereal, but her tone was a little firm.

"Fairy Lin, we fought hard to protect this magical herb. You are..." Before Bi Yao could finish her words, she was interrupted by Fairy Lin.

"Fight? You? Stop kidding! If it weren't for Brother Li Yuan, you would have been caught by Captain Wu and his gang long ago!" Fairy Lin said with disdain.

Bi Yao was about to retort when she saw a flash of light in Fairy Lin's hand, and a sword shining with cold light appeared in her hand... "Brother Li Yuan, don't be fooled by this woman! She is not worthy of you at all!"

The sword in Fairy Lin's hand shone brightly, and the sword energy was like a rainbow, heading straight for Bi Yao and Li Yuan.

"Brother Li Yuan, don't be fooled by this woman! She is not worthy of you at all!" After saying that, without waiting for Li Yuan's reaction, he launched an attack directly.

Pink light surrounded her body, looking like some cheap 50-cent special effects. Bi Yao complained in her heart, but she did not dare to slow down her hands.

Fairy Lin's moves are fancy and look powerful, but in fact her attack power is not strong. She is a typical "showy" move.

Bi Yao and Li Yuan joined forces to resist and were able to do so with ease.

"Yaoyao, be careful!" Li Yuan blocked Fairy Lin's attack while keeping an eye on Bi Yao's safety.

"Don't worry, I can handle her mediocre skills!" Bi Yao dodged Lin Xianzi's attack and retorted.

This Fairy Lin is not very good at fighting, but she is quite good at talking, a typical "keyboard warrior".

The battle continued, and the surrounding trees were shaking from the aftermath of the spell, with leaves falling one after another. If this scene had some background music (BGM), it would have been a perfect scene from a fairy tale drama.

Li Yuan and Bi Yao cooperated with each other tacitly, you retreated and I advanced, you attacked and I defended, just like a pair of fairy lovers.

Li Yuan's eyes were always fixed on Bi Yao, fearing that she would be hurt.

Bi Yao felt the concern in his eyes, her heart warmed, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

At this moment, Bi Yao's eyes suddenly focused, and he stared at Fairy Lin's dancing sword.

"Li Yuan, look at her sword..." "Li Yuan, look at her sword. Every time she uses 'Falling Petals', the ruby ​​on the hilt will dim!" Bi Yao said quickly while dodging the attack.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan observed carefully.

Sure enough, every time Fairy Lin used the "Falling Petals" skill, which looked gorgeous but was actually weak and powerless, the ruby ​​on the hilt would briefly lose its luster.

"Interesting." Li Yuan's lips curled up into a wicked smile, "Yaoyao, you are really a treasure girl. You can even discover this!"

"Of course, don't you see who I am!" Bi Yao raised his eyebrows, full of confidence.

The two exchanged glances and reached a consensus instantly.

Just when Fairy Lin used "Falling Petals" again, at the moment when the ruby's light dimmed, Bi Yao and Li Yuan attacked at the same time!

The long sword in Li Yuan's hand turned into a silver light and went straight to Fairy Lin's wrist holding the sword.

Bi Yao took the opportunity to kick Fairy Lin in the chest.

"Ah!" Fairy Lin screamed, the sword in her hand flew out of her hand, and she was kicked by Bi Yao and fell several meters away. She covered her chest for a long time and couldn't get up. She finally squeezed out a sentence, "You... are despicable!"

"All is fair in war. Don't you know this? Fairy, you should go back and read more books." Bi Yao shrugged and retorted bluntly.

After dealing with Fairy Lin, the "keyboard warrior", the two can finally concentrate on dealing with the real problem at hand - the spiritual ape guarding the spiritual herb.

There was a tense atmosphere in the air. Bi Yao and Li Yuan carefully approached the place where the spiritual herbs grew. It was quiet all around except for the rustling of leaves in the wind... "Wait, did you hear any sound?" Bi Yao pulled Li Yuan's sleeve and whispered.
