The villain's daily corpse collection

Everyone set out again, preparing to go to Qingyu City.

What kind of transportation to take became a big problem.

The use of the imperial magic weapon to travel in the sky was a bit oppressive for the sick Du Ximiao, so after discussion, Wang Wei agreed to the option of using horses and carriages as a means of transportation. However, in the end, he still spent money to order a larger carriage.

It might be that because of the repeated delays, the air pressure around them was relatively low, and the horses did not dare to approach them, so riding horses was no longer possible.

Finally, Du Ximiao stepped forward and found a good shop, and built a spacious carriage that could accommodate everyone according to the requirements of the drawings.

The crowd went out in a mighty procession. Before they even entered the territory of Chihou City, Du Ximiao was already complaining about the heat.

Chihou City is an unusual city. Because of its high terrain, it is exposed to high temperatures all year round and there is no rainfall, which makes the surface of the place abnormally hot and dry.

Living things live underground most of the time. Everything here circulates underground. It is a veritable underground kingdom.

People only come out from underground in certain seasons, and the climate difference has caused the customs and habits here to be very different from those in other places.

It was not long after the beginning of summer, but the area around here had already entered the summer season, and at noon it was as unbearable as a scorching heat.

"This place is indeed different. We'd better not set foot here before we are well prepared." Zhuang Boyan suggested cautiously.

Wang Wei naturally understood that this city was at the back of her plan. She would come back when her strength was restored and she was more confident. Then she would be able to take it without any effort.

The dungeon is full of all kinds of people. The more chaotic it is, the better it is for her, so she can be more direct in her methods.

"I feel a little dizzy..." Du Ximiao leaned against a narrow soft couch, supporting his head.

"Carsick?"

Zhuang Boyan didn't know any medical skills, so he went out and asked Yuan Xiang, who was driving, to come in and take care of Du Ximiao.

Recently, everyone took turns to go out and control the direction of the carriage. The daytime was the home of mortals, and the night was the home of the gods and their disciples.

——The main focus is on division of labor and cooperation, so work is not tiring.

Yuan Xiang touched Du Ximiao's forehead and found no fever. He briefly checked her pulse and found it was chaotic, which did not match her dizziness.

I went to check it out, and I was amazed by what I saw.

"poisoned."

"What?!" Yuan Xiang and Du Ximiao were both surprised.

Wang Wei grabbed Yuan Xiang's hand to check his pulse, and then went to the front of the carriage to check Zhuang Boyan's pulse.

"Sister Weiwei, what's going on?"

Huo Feng realized that something was wrong and immediately went out to stop the carriage. Everyone then went into the inner room.

"You three were captured by the Fire God, and the spirit beast he raised also carries fire. When he captured you, he may have touched your skin, and the scratches and wounds may have seeped into a fire toxin. This toxin may not be easy to penetrate for gods with stronger power, but——"

Wang Wei looked at Du Ximiao and said, "Your physical condition is not good to begin with, so your symptoms are the most obvious. When the poison starts to take effect, you will feel that your qi and blood are blocked, your pulse is disordered, and you feel dizzy and swollen... Then, you may fall into some hallucinations of personal obsessions, and feel like you are being roasted on a stove. Finally, blood will flow from all seven orifices, and you will die suddenly."

Du Ximiao: "...Is this so serious?"

Yuan Xiang and Zhuang Boyan looked at each other and both felt the urgency.

Wang Wei nodded and cast a spell on the three people: "I was also poisoned before, but I was weaker at that time and experienced the pain of the poison throughout the process, so I understand it a little bit."

A cool aura fell on the three people, and the three people who originally felt the discomfort inside seemed to be unblocked.

"However, I can only help you relieve the symptoms. If you want to completely eradicate it, you must find an antidote."

"We actually need an antidote? Is this thing easy to find?" Du Ximiao exclaimed.

"I remember there is a legend about the birth of Scarlet Queen City. It was the eye of a Fire Deity that fell when he passed away."

Huo Feng took out the map and spread it on the table. Everyone looked at it and found that the city was an oval with narrow ends, which really looked like an eye. There was a round lake in the city, like the pupil in the eye.

"Sister Weiwei, how did you solve it at that time? Do you still remember it?"

"I?"

Wang Wei was stunned by the question. She died instantly at that time and there was no detoxification at all!

"I don't remember. I'm a god. Using me as a reference is totally useless."

Wang Wei tapped Du Ximiao's brow and sighed softly, "Don't worry, you won't die. Have you forgotten that I have seen your future? You still have many important things to do."

Du Ximiao was so touched that she didn't care about the poison she was poisoned with. She hugged Wang Wei's arm and started to give a messy success speech.

Wang Wei: "...Her poison is taking effect faster than I thought. It should be the cold that accelerated the poisoning. You guys hold her down quickly. She's already hallucinating!"

Everyone worked together to push her back onto the only soft couch, and Huo Feng pressed some acupoints for sleeping before they stopped.

The longer the time goes, the more the other two will not be able to hold on for too long.

While Wang Wei was studying the map, Huo Feng was not idle either. He taught Yuan Xiang and Zhuang Boyan the calming mantra. Whenever they felt dizzy, they should recite it out loud, repeating it over and over again until they returned to normal.

"The detoxification method should be found in nature. The Red Queen City is all sand and loess hills, so this special lake is our only chance."

Wang Wei analyzed, "If there is nothing we are looking for at the bottom of the lake, I will not give up on you."

Zhuang Boyan: "Are there any other ways to detoxify?"

Wang Wei smiled and said, "Of course I have to break the restriction and return to the heaven. There is a way to detoxify the heaven, but it is troublesome to go back. The flow of time is inconsistent, so I can't go back easily. I also need to activate the time freezing array. Anyway..."

Wang Wei sat beside Du Ximiao's couch and tucked in the corner of her quilt: "I won't abandon you."

Her words were like a calming needle, and everyone stopped worrying about the poison.

Yuan Xiang said: "Don't worry, Huo Feng's Heart Purification Mantra is also very useful. We have no symptoms now, so there is no need to worry."

Zhuang Boyan nodded: "It is we who are causing trouble. You must pay attention to your safety. Don't sacrifice yourself to save us. Come back if you encounter difficulties. We will always find a way out by working together."

Wang Wei put away the map and handed it to Huo Feng. Huo Feng was already ready to go. "Don't worry, Master and I will be successful! I have set up a barrier nearby, you are safe."

He threw a bundle to Yuan Xiang: "This is a space storage bag with food and water. We don't know how many days we will be gone, so you should try not to leave the carriage. The situation in Chihou City is complicated. Although the surface is sparsely populated, it is not absolutely safe."

Everyone said goodbye to each other, and the master and disciple left the slightly cool carriage. The surface temperature was getting higher and higher, and Wang Wei and Huo Feng flew towards the direction of the lake on their swords.

"This place is a bit weird. We are clearly in the air, but the sword under our feet is so hot that it burns our feet..." Huo Feng flew the sword, moving his feet from time to time.

"After all, under the sun, there is no escape no matter what."

Wang Wei also noticed something strange. She raised her hand and placed it on Huo Feng's shoulder. A cool feeling rose from the soles of her feet to her head.

Huo Feng turned around and looked at Wang Wei in surprise: "Master, what kind of magic is this? It's so powerful!"

"It's not difficult. I'm born with the ability." Although there was no expression on her face, Huo Feng still caught the hint of pride in her tone.

"Master has been gifted since childhood!" Huo Feng said in an admiring tone, "Unlike me, who had to work very hard to achieve my goals when I was young. Perhaps, the reason why I became an outer disciple is not because of social relationships, but because I don't have enough talent. I can't blame others."

"When I was a child..." She felt her throat dry and itchy, so she swallowed and continued, "I was indeed gifted when I was a child. Many people praised me at the time... Speaking of you, you are naturally talented. How can you pass the divine test without understanding? Don't underestimate yourself."

"I have seen that fire poison before. To a god, that kind of poison is like a mortal being bitten by a poisonous insect. It will cause redness, swelling, slight numbness and allergies, but it will never be fatal."

Huo Feng changed the subject directly. Wang Wei looked up in surprise. Was he trying to trick her?

"Master was once infected with the fire poison, why did he have such serious symptoms?"

"Maybe I remembered it wrong!" Wang Wei corrected himself, "Maybe it's some other poison."

"Got it." Huo Feng flew his sword to the village below, and the two of them jumped off the sword.

"Are we there yet?" Wang Wei looked around. This was a village and there was no lake.

"It's right in front. There's a barrier near the lake. If you fly over there, you might hit the restriction."

The two checked the route and found that they needed to pass through the village and climb over a small hill, and behind them was the lake. The barrier by the lake seemed to be extremely solid, and the two could see it clearly from a distance.

The master and the apprentice walked side by side, and no one mentioned the topic again. Recently, when they talked about some "dangerous" topics, they always stopped talking halfway.

Either he was interrupted by something, or Huo Feng stopped asking. Although there were many flaws, Huo Feng seemed to be used to it, and after asking a few more questions, he didn't care.

Wang Wei was a little puzzled. If he asked a few more questions and got to the bottom of it, he would get a satisfactory answer that he had prepared.

If he didn't ask, she would have an inexplicable feeling that he saw through the answer she had prepared.

It’s like if what you hear is a lie, it’s better to know nothing.

If too many rifts accumulate between two people, sooner or later it will get out of control.

She understood everything, but she couldn't take off the mask easily.

She had suffered losses before, and although Jun Zhao came back later, who could have predicted this outcome?

No one can truly control another person's behavior.

When she was young, she could deceive people by writing the word "pitiful" on her face. Now that she has sat on the throne of power, everything in the past should be completely erased.

She didn't think that Jun Zhao had truly accepted the other side of her. He just had an extra bit of kindness and helped her out. Because she was pitiful, she received sympathy.

Huo Feng is fine like this, don't delve into it any further, just stay at this superficial master-disciple relationship...

Wang Wei moved closer and asked hesitantly, "What would you think if one day I was no longer powerful?"

Huo Feng, who was walking in front to explore the way, suddenly stopped and bumped into Wang Wei's shoulder.

"What does Master mean by 'not powerful'?" He turned around, interested in the topic.

She just asked the question without thinking, maybe even asking herself at the same time.

"Loss of mana."

Huo Feng laughed softly a few times: "Master, if you don't have any magic power, does that mean you are no longer powerful?"

"Without mana, you can't use those mysterious magic arts, so naturally you won't be powerful."

"Puchi." Huo Feng suppressed his laughter.

"What are you laughing at? Do you think I'm making you so happy if I'm not awesome?"

"Master, is your definition of being powerful too narrow?" Huo Feng controlled his expression and said seriously.

"I believe that even if Master becomes a child, he will still be the most powerful child king. This is definitely not because of his boundless magical powers."

Huo Feng subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to touch her head to suit the occasion, but in the end he did not dare to do so and just placed his hand on hers.

Wang Wei thought about it and realized that it was true. When she was a child, she was as weak as a bug, but she still survived and became the demon god.

That powerful and invincible demon power could only be used smoothly after she ascended the throne of the demon god.

Before this, she had always relied on herself.

Wang Wei recalled what Liu Yin said to her in the underground palace -

"The loyalty I just mentioned is not based on your being a strong person."

"Why do you think that we are submitting to you and surrendering to your power? We are deeply involved in your schemes?"

These words shocked her and also caused her endless doubts.

"What you said makes sense." Wang Wei grabbed the jade belt on Huo Feng's waist, and the two jumped into the air and reached the lake in an instant.

Huo Feng was surprised to see that the forbidden barrier hidden around the lake did not show any fluctuations at all.

"Master, you have become stronger again!" Huo Feng exclaimed.

Wang accepted the compliment with a smile as if it was a deserved thing. It felt so good to have his strength back.

"The antidote should be at the bottom of the lake."

The two looked at each other and jumped into the lake.

The lake is clear. When you dive down, you will find a deep ravine underneath. You don’t know what is hidden under the ravine.

Huo Feng found a stone door in a corner nearby.

The master and his disciple swam over and the stone door was easily opened. After entering, there was a stone statue inside, which looked like a god but not a god, and like a demon but not a demon. No one knew what it was.

In front of the statue was an altar with two boxes on it. In front of the boxes was a glass plate with a key in it.

Wang Wei picked up the key, which was glowing with colorful light. The light reflected on the stone statue, and four lines of words were immediately revealed.

"A jade key opens a box, and inside is an antidote and a pearl. Once the box is opened, the key will be gone, and the decision is yours."

Wang Wei picked up the box containing some beads and sensed it. She frowned and said, "Someone came here earlier and put the artifact in this box."

Huo Feng took the box of the artifact and looked at Wang Wei in surprise: "Someone knows about our experiences along the way and wants to use it to threaten us?"

Wang Wei understood that as long as she wanted to save people, no matter what choice she made, she would have a life-and-death battle with the hand behind the scenes.
