Chapter 84 The Ink Serpent Reigns Supreme
Bai Qianlu let out a whale-like cry, and his power erupted instantly.

Just as they were about to leap out of the vortex, the force was extremely strange, carrying a tremendous swallowing power.

Not only that, but mutated plants kept swarming around them, along with mutated beasts.

Bai Qianluo vomited blood, and even Chu Moyuan was injured, with blood dripping from his body.

Even so, Bai Qianluo and Chu Moyuan protected Qiao Suluo very well, ensuring she didn't suffer any injury.

Just as they were being swept into the whirlpool of undercurrents, Qiao Suluo suddenly lost consciousness.

When Qiao Suluo woke up again, she was in a valley. The rain had stopped, and sunlight filtered through the dappled leaves of the trees, with birds singing and flowers blooming.

Qiao Suluo could feel how fresh the air was just by taking a breath.

Qiao Suluo asked curiously, "Where is this?"

The system then spoke up: "This should be the other side of the undercurrent vortex, but this place is full of spiritual energy. The place where the host lived before was too lacking in spiritual energy."

Qiao Suluo said, "No wonder it feels so fresh and comfortable to breathe here."

"But what about Bai Qianluo and Chu Moyuan?"

After Qiao Suluo regained consciousness, she hurriedly went to find Bai Qianluo and Chu Moyuan.

While she was unconscious, she remembered Bai Qianluo and Chu Moyuan desperately protecting her.

So she looked at herself and found that she wasn't injured at all.

The system investigated for a while and said, "They are not in immediate danger and are in the vicinity. Host, please search for them first."

"And Que Hongjin, how is he now?"

Qiao Suluo had asked the system before, and the system said that Que Hongjin was not in any danger, but now that she realized how strange the Ancient Mystery Forest was, she couldn't help but worry.

The system said, "Don't worry, host, Que Hongjin is fine. Just stay alive."

Hearing this, Qiao Suluo breathed a sigh of relief. "Then do you know where Que Hongjin is now?"

The system said, "My current system power cannot detect his specific situation."

Qiao Suluo found out and immediately got up to look for Bai Qianluo and Chu Moyuan nearby.

"Bai Qianluo, Chu Moyuan, where are you?"

After walking for a while, Qiao Suluo suddenly smelled blood. She followed the scent and found a huge, injured black snake in the grass not far away.

Qiao Suluo knew at a glance that it was Chu Moyuan.

She still remembered that when she was swallowed by the vortex and attacked by the mutated plants, it was he who protected her with his snake tail.

So even though she's still afraid of snakes, the thought that this is Chu Moyuan's true form and won't harm her makes her less afraid.

She rushed forward, only to suddenly discover that her healing energy was depleted.

"System, my healing ability is practically useless; it's gone once it's used up."

The system explained, "Host, you should have learned about the law of conservation of energy. There is no perpetual motion machine in the world. It's unrealistic to expect healing abilities to be inexhaustible without replenishing anything."

"Moreover, Bai Qianluo's injuries were too severe before, and the host has already used up all of his healing abilities, so they are now exhausted."

Qiao Suluo understood that what the system said made sense. She could only first go to the space shop to exchange points for medicinal herbs, then absorb the power of the herbs, and after coming out, she hurriedly used her healing ability to heal Chu Moyuan's injuries.

However, after exchanging points for medicinal herbs, she had no points left in the shop.

But we can't worry about that right now, otherwise we won't have enough medicinal herbs and our healing abilities are too weak to cure Chu Moyuan's injuries.

Knowing that the host was worried about points, the system said, "Host, now that I have been upgraded as a system, you can also improve your healing abilities by completing tasks, instead of relying on medicinal herbs."

“The more missions I complete, the more my system can upgrade, which will give the host more privileges.” Qiao Suluo’s expression changed. “Then I will do missions from now on.”

During the treatment of Chu Moyuan, Qiao Suluo discovered that Chu Moyuan's wound was emitting black energy.

"This...this is being invaded by the aura of darkness?"

The system explained, "This must be from being injured by a mutated beast or mutated plant; the wound has become contaminated."

"Therefore, the host needs to use his purification ability to cleanse him of these dark auras. Otherwise, once the dark auras have completely polluted and spread, he will not only turn into a mad beast, but in severe cases, he will also turn into a mutated beast."

Qiao Suluo's face turned pale. If it weren't for Chu Moyuan and Bai Qianluo, she would have been the one attacked by the beastman.

"I'll treat his injuries first."

While unconscious, Chu Moyuan felt himself being treated gently, surrounded by a warm, sun-like aura that made him want to get closer.

He was an unaccepted snake-beastman from childhood, simply because the color of his snake body was different from that of the other snake-beastmen in his family.

No one had ever been so kind to him.

Seeing that Chu Moyuan's injuries had healed, Qiao Suluo wanted to complete the points upgrade for her purification ability, so she gently shook Chu Moyuan's snake body, "Chu Moyuan, wake up..."

As Qiao Suluo continued to shake, Chu Moyuan opened his eyes. The moment he saw Qiao Suluo, he instinctively transformed into human form, as if afraid that his snake body would frighten her.

"Chu Moyuan, you're awake! That's wonderful. I've healed your wounds, but there are still some injuries on your body that haven't fully healed."

"However, I will definitely heal you. You have seen my ability to heal Bai Qianluo, so I will not lie to you."

"Would you like to come home with me?"

Qiao Suluo looked at Chu Moyuan with a serious expression.

Chu Moyuan's cold, deep eyes were fixed on her, seeing the anxious and worried look in her eyes.

Is she worried about herself?

He instinctively wanted to make a sarcastic remark, but seemed to remember something and held back.

Seeing the silent Chu Moyuan, Qiao Suluo was anxious; she needed to purify her supernatural abilities at this moment.

"You can agree first, and if you're unhappy and want to leave later, I can't stop you, can I?"

As she spoke, Qiao Suluo took out a money bag from her spatial storage, opened it, and showed it to Chu Moyuan. "Look, this is the silver I earned, more than sixty taels. I originally wanted to go and redeem you, but since you weren't at the arena, I had no choice but to come to the Ancient Mysterious Forest to find you. I'm not lying to you."

A complex and profound look flashed across Chu Moyuan's eyes; no one had ever cared about him so much before.

He slowly began to speak: "I am a cold-blooded serpent beastman. Because my physical characteristics are not like those of the Chu family, I am also disliked within the family."

Why would she be willing to take him back?

The snake bodies of the Chu family members all have color, unlike his black snake body.

Qiao Suluo said directly, "That's not your fault. It's because they have a shallow understanding, which shows that your bloodline is stronger than theirs. They are just jealous of you."

"I heard that long ago, in the beast world, the black snake was the most revered among snakes." This was what the system told her. She didn't know if it was true or not, but saying this should make Chu Moyuan happy.

"And once I've healed you, I'll help you slap those who bullied and humiliated you in the face, get revenge for you, and make sure they can't stand you but can't get rid of you."

Chu Moyuan suddenly chuckled softly, his voice clear and deep, "You really know how to comfort people."

"But aren't you afraid of snakes? You actually want to take me back."

Qiao Suluo answered truthfully, "I am afraid of snakes, but as long as I know it's you, I'm not afraid."

Upon hearing these words, Chu Moyuan felt as if his heart had been struck by something. He swallowed hard, suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and said in a low voice, "Okay, I promise you."
