Monna cried out at the sight. "Watch out!"As she spoke, she dashed forward to hoist Loona back up.'Haha!'Darryl could hardly contain his glee as he stared at Loona. "You're still putting up an act?"Loona huffed irritably, paying Darryl no mind.Darryl took his time, leaning against a nearby tree before speaking slowly. "I wouldn't hold it in if I were you, kid. Ask nicely, and I'll put on some medicine for you.Loona bit her lip, still fiercely stubborn. "There's no need for that."'Oh?'Darryl smiled at the response. "You've got nerve. Fine, forget I said anything since you don't need it."As he spoke, he stared at Loona with the ghost of a smile on his face while waiting for a response.Darryl could tell that Loona had lost all feeling in her foot. On top of that, the gas from the poison had spread up to her leg.Loona was far from weak, and the poisonous gas would not be life-threatening. The thing was that she had missed the ideal window to apply the medicine, and sh
Loona was positively livid by Darryl's outright provocation.Monna could not stand it any longer and glared at Darryl. "Alright, already! Stop teasing her, Darryl."Darryl stopped speaking further, scratching his head. "Alright, heh. Fine, fine. You can stop calling me that, seeing as the Empress asked. Come on, your darling brother will heal you nice and well."Following that, Darryl squatted in front of Loona before saying calmly, "Lift your skirt."As the words rang through the air, Darryl reached out for the fabric.The poison in the gas had spread through the entire leg, so the medicine would also have to go on the entire leg.Loona's face flushed scarlet. She backed up hurriedly, crying out in shock, "You… You pervert, what are you doing?!"The women of the Raksasa tribe were less conservative than those of the Nine Continents, but Loona saw her purity with much importance.To Loona, having Darryl heal her was already unbearable, yet there he was, trying to lift her skirt
'What beautiful women. There were two of them. One regal and elegant, and the other robust and energetic.'Whew!Amidst their shock, one of the men stepped forward to ask, "Who are you guys?"As he spoke, another man piped up before Darryl could speak. "Oh… I remember now! Aren't… Aren't you Darren, a friend of my previous leader?"As he spoke, the man's tone of speech was devoid of any of the wariness that had been there before.A thought came to Darryl as he asked, "You… Are you from the Bloodpierce Army?"When Darryl was trapped in the Valley of Death for three years while pursuing Donahue Dixon, he ran into the Bloodpierce Army on his way out. He remembered it as clear as day. Their leader was a woman named Lillian Willis.Following that, Darryl solved a few problems for Lillian, and he successfully led her and her team out of the Valley of Death.Darryl still remembered that Lillian was beautiful, and she was skilled too. She was just a little short on experience in the wa
Well…Howard stopped short, unable to return to his senses for a while.What was going on? Darryl said she was his wife, but the stunning lady had such a drastic reaction…Could they be hiding something else?Darryl scrambled to explain himself. "Don't get her wrong. My second wife and I have been having a bit of a tiff. Haha!"As he spoke, Darryl looked meaningfully at Loona.Gosh, what a simple girl. Could she not tell that he was trying to help her hide her identity?Oh!Howard nodded in understanding before flashing a smile. "Well, it must be fate that we ran into each other. Since you're here to explore too, why don't we team up? That way, we can all look out for each other, eh?"Despite the Bloodpierce Army having grown in skills and strength in the past few years, having 'Darren' on their team would surely make their work much easier. After all, it was all thanks to him that they were able to get out of the Valley of Death safely.Uhh…Darryl scratched his head in the
Darryl let out a sigh, speaking earnestly. "Have you not heard of that saying—the most dangerous places are the safest?"Loona stopped short before pouting. "You're making things up again…"As she spoke, she stood her ground and moved to the path on the right. However, she had only gone a few steps ahead when Monna stopped her.Monna chided gently, "Loona, I think you should listen to Darryl."Darryl had, after all, stayed here for three years and knew the place like the back of his hand. It was definitely the right choice to listen to him.Loona dropped her stubbornness at the Empress' words, retreating to follow Darryl along the path on the left through the forest.Loona stayed silent the entire way, sulking at Darryl. He found it hilarious.Whew!A little over ten minutes later, they reached what seemed like a quiet-looking alley. The three of them stopped short, marveling at the sight.The valley before them was filled with greenery and flowers of all shades of the rainbow
Darryl had a sharp eye and could tell immediately that the fog contained a potent poison that could become life-threatening as time passed.When Darryl studied medicine with the Divine Farmer, he had once heard him mention that any place with a powerful enough atmosphere to breed rare herbs and supplements always came with something that could cost someone's life close by.The valley was no different. It bred large amounts of Blood Fungi, but the seemingly ordinary-looking weeds beside it contained poison. The scent of the Blood Fungi could contain the power of the weeds, which maintained peace in the space.However, since Loona picked so much of the Blood Fungi earlier, it had disrupted the ecosystem of the area, and the weeds released their poisonous gas with no Blood Fungi around to control them.Whew!Loona did not stop at Darryl's words. Instead, she took a deep breath before saying impatiently, "Why should I listen to you? Anyone would want as many Blood Fungi as they could
Loona had been poisoned too deeply, and she could not wake up in a short amount of time.What…Monna trembled at the sight as she cried out in terror, "What happened to her, Darryl?"Darryl smiled stiffly. "The poison got to her. She's hallucinating."Monna let out a sigh of relief internally at the response. Thank goodness she had listened to Darryl and blocked off her Chimi acupoint, or she would have been greatly embarrassed, just like Loona.Darryl strode over with Loona in tow. "Loona, wake up! I'm not your father."He was about to take his arm out of Loona's grasp as he spoke, but Loona refused to let go, wrapping her arms around Darryl's waist and holding on for dear life.Monna grew with worry at the sight of Loona's worsening condition. "What are we going to do, Darryl?""Don't worry!"Darryl replied Monna comfortingly. He glanced around him, and his gaze landed on the Blood Fungi that Loona had just plucked."Give her a bite of the Blood Fungi."The smell of the Bl
Hoho!Bowen smirked coldly at Tyson's words, his eyes glinting with hatred. "Oh, I'll die before I hand over the ownership of the bow to money-hungry bastards like you."His tone was firm, not leaving any room for retaliation.Tyson's expression shifted at Bowen's words, his eyes glinting murderously. "Being stubborn, are we? I'll see just how long that can last."As he spoke, Tyson waved a hand.One of the riders strode forward, gripping a leather whip tightly as he walked toward Bowen.The next second, the whip was cracked. A crisp sound rang through the air as Bowen trembled, his flesh tearing open as blood gushed out to stain his clothing.Bowen gritted his teeth, not letting out a sound. He wanted to struggle, but his arms and legs were bound, and he could not move at all.Tyson smirked mockingly at Bowen. "That doesn't feel very good, does it? Out with it, and you won't have to bear this pain any longer. Why hold on?"Whew!Bowen took a breath, gritting his teeth even h
