Chapter 261: The Dense Forest in the Valley

To Gu Xi, the deaths of the others had little to do with him.

Moreover, these people were gathered here with the intention of hunting Little Nine. They were supposed to die. If Wang Zhan took the initiative to clean them up, it would save Gu Xi the trouble of making a move again.

Gu Xi and Liu Qingqing did not stay where they were. The most important thing now was to find Little Nine and Wang Shi who were trapped in the dense forest in the valley.

The two of them walked around the perimeter of the encirclement. Along the way, they found that more and more contestants had gathered there. Moreover, it was still early in the morning. If they waited until daytime, there would be even more people.

They had to find Little Nine and leave this place before daybreak. If they were not careful, they would be trapped like turtles in a jar.

After a round of investigation, the Heavens did not let down those who were willing. Gu Xi finally found a weak point in the encirclement.

In a matter of seconds, the lives of the two men who were guarding this place were taken care of.

There was not the slightest bit of sloppiness or noise throughout the entire process.

After briefly disposing of the bodies of the two men, Liu Qingqing led Gu Xi to successfully enter this dense forest where demon beasts ran rampant.

However, what puzzled Gu Xi was that it seemed a little too easy for the two of them to break into this place. However, since they had already entered, he did not think too much about it.

Just as they entered the dense forest, Gu Xi was slightly stunned.

Here, he could vaguely feel that familiar aura.

That was the divine beast aura of the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox that belonged solely to Little Nine!

“Let’s go this way.”

Gu Xi slightly discerned the direction and decisively moved.

Although he did not know why he had this feeling, his intuition was not wrong. Perhaps it was because of the contract between the man and the beast.

A man and a woman quietly shuttled through the dense forest that was filled with demon beasts. During the process, they tried their best to avoid all the demon beasts so that a battle would not erupt.

Gu Xi did not want to waste time.

As the two of them went deeper, the familiar aura became clearer.

Soon, a mountain wall appeared in front of the two of them, and there was no path.

Liu Qingqing was stunned, wondering if Gu Xi had led them the wrong way.

On the other hand, Gu Xi squinted his eyes and tried his best to sense Little Nine’s aura.

“Absolutely right, they must be here,” A moment later, Gu Xi said with certainty.

“Master, you’re finally here!” At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from the wall in front of them.

In the next moment, a moving figure suddenly dashed out from within and threw herself into Gu Xi’s embrace in the blink of an eye.

Gu Xi was initially a little wary when faced with this figure that had suddenly appeared. However, when he clearly saw who it was, the wariness in his heart instantly vanished into thin air.

The woman in his embrace was Little Nine.

However, in the next moment, his expression could not help but sink.

Under his perception, although Little Nine looked fine on the outside, the injuries in her body could not be underestimated.

Although it was not considered serious injuries, it definitely was not in the category of light injuries.

Presumably, this was the result of the battle with the ancient demon beast.

At the same time, this was also the reason why so many contestants dared to surround this place.

If Little Nine was at her peak, not to mention these people, even if there were twice as many people, she would not have the slightest fear!

Although she was only in the Quasi-saint stage, Little Nine was a divine beast comparable to the Saint realm!

Thud thud thud–

At the same time, the sound of footsteps could be heard from the mountain wall in front of them.

Looking Up, they saw Wang Shi limping out from within.

At this moment, Wang Shi’s face was as pale as paper, and there were several incomparably savage wounds all over his body. There was even a wound that had not stopped bleeding, and blood was continuously flowing out.

“Senior Brother, are you alright?!”

Seeing Wang Shi’s miserable appearance, Liu Qingqing could no longer hold it in, and tears burst out from her eyes.

If it was not for helping her escape, perhaps Wang Shi would not have suffered such serious injuries.

It was already a miracle that Wang Shi could survive for so long. If it was anyone else, they might have already died.

“I’m alright,” Wang Shi said with a bitter expression.

However, when he saw Gu Xi arrive, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

Although he still did not know Gu Xi’s identity or true strength, for some reason, Gu Xi’s appearance made him feel like he had a pillar of support.

“Eat these things.” Gu Xi flipped his wrist and immediately threw a jade bottle at Wang Shi.

Wang Shi opened it and saw that there were two round spheres inside.

They were the medicinal pills Gu Xi had refined in the Eastern Continent. Compared to the essence of the spirit herbs, the medicinal pills had a better healing effect.

However, it was clear that Wang Shi did not recognize the medicinal pills in front of him, but since Gu Xi had already spoken, he could only swallow the two medicinal pills.

Immediately, Wang Shi felt a warm current surge up from his abdomen.

The warm current spread rapidly to his limbs and bones. In the blink of an eye, it filled his entire body. Under the nourishment of the warm current, Wang Shi’s internal and external injuries were healing rapidly.

The savage wounds healed on their own, and the broken bones grew on their own.

In just a short moment, Wang Shi’s injuries had already recovered to their original state.

Other than the Qi and blood in his body that still needed time to slowly warm up, causing his face to still be somewhat pale, the current him looked no different from a normal person.

“This… how is this possible…”

Feeling the changes in his body, Wang Shi was so shocked that he could not close his mouth.

According to his calculations, if he was able to survive this calamity, it would take at least a few months for the various injuries on his body to recover. It would even take a longer time for him to completely recover.., but now, he had almost recovered in a short period of time!

It was hard for him not to feel shocked!

Even as a disciple of the Medicine King Valley for many years, he had never heard of any kind of spirit medicine essence that could have such a quick and effective healing effect!

“Nothing is impossible. Hurry up and recover your spiritual power. We have to leave before daybreak.”

Gu Xi did not have time to explain further and urged him.

Wang Shi nodded his head vigorously, his simple and honest face full of seriousness.

Leaving this place was the most important thing at this moment. He naturally knew in his heart. After that, he turned around and found a corner. He crossed his legs and began to recover his spiritual power.

“You eat this medicinal pill too.”

Gu Xi took out a jade bottle again and handed it to Little Nine at the side.

Little Nine smiled and swallowed the pill inside.

Compared to the pill that Gu Xi gave Wang Shi just now, this pill that Gu Xi gave Little Nine was even more effective.

Even so, the result made Gu Xi frown.
