Battle Through the Heavens: Achievement System at the Start

The group set off again. This journey was much quieter than the previous one. Although they encountered two waves of monster attacks along the way, neither caused much of a disturbance.

As darkness fell, the group finally arrived safely at their destination: a sunken basin covered with medicinal herbs.

Various kinds of medicinal herbs grow in the basin. Upon entering, the fragrant aroma of herbs fills the air. Taking a deep breath, one immediately feels refreshed and relaxed.

"Let's set up camp here, and be careful not to damage the surrounding herbs." Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Little Fairy Doctor turned around and smiled gently at everyone.

Upon hearing a soft and pleasant voice, the surrounding mercenaries immediately responded loudly and began to move about.

Xiao Yao wandered around the basin on his own, observing that, for some reason, the energy within this depression was much denser and purer than that outside, which allowed these medicinal herbs to grow in large quantities here. Although the energy was not as pure as when he had visited this place before, it was still considered a very good place in this area.

Returning to the original spot, and seeing the tents already erected, Xiao Yao walked towards one of them, waiting for night to fall.

......

As night fell, the light in the forest gradually dimmed. The trees in the forest were tall and dense, their branches and leaves intertwining to form secluded corners.

These corners seemed to conceal countless unknown dangers, sending chills down one's spine. A gentle breeze blew, and the leaves rustled softly.

As time passed, the camp gradually quieted down, with only the slight crackling of firewood crackling violently in the flames, apart from the mercenaries on night watch.

In the silent darkness, a tent suddenly stirred slightly, and a graceful, dark shadow slipped out of the tent and silently slipped into the dark forest through a gap in the guard.

Shortly after the shadowy figure left, another shadow emerged from another tent, closely following the one in front.

In the dense forest, the occasional distant howl of wolves could be heard, sending chills down one's spine.

On the steep cliff, Xiao Yao looked down at the dark mountains and said softly, "Let's go, Little Fairy Doctor."

Nodding slightly, Little Fairy Doctor squatted down and picked up some dry firewood from the ground. She then quickly tied it together to make two torches, sprinkled some pale yellow powder on them, and then took out a tinderbox from her bosom and lit it.

"Take it." He handed the torch to Xiao Yao.

Holding the torch, Xiao Yao saw Little Fairy Doctor pull out a long rope from her bosom and hand it to him with a faint smile. Seeing this, he smiled and said, "There's no need for these. If you need flames, I can conjure them myself."

Xiao Yao opened his right palm, and an invisible flame was dancing actively in his palm, emitting an invisible light.

The Little Fairy Doctor's face showed disbelief. Her mouth was slightly open, and she was stunned for a long time. Her gaze was fixed on the invisible flame in Xiao Yao's hand. She said softly, "You... this flame in your hand, could it be a strange flame? This is the first time I've ever seen such a strange flame."

"Yes, so come on over, I'll take you down directly." Xiao Yao looked at the graceful girl in front of him with a faint smile and opened his arms.

"I...I have my own rope, I don't need your help!" Upon seeing Xiao Yao's mischievous grin, she was so frightened that she took two steps back, her pretty face flushed with embarrassment and anger.

"What's wrong? Are you afraid I'll eat you up? If I really wanted to, you couldn't do anything about it!"

Xiao Yao waved his hand helplessly, then pretended to be scared and said, "In such a dark sky, there are probably a lot of strange little things like scorpions, centipedes, and spiders lurking on the edge of the cliff. If you see them and get startled and let go, well, I don't need to tell you what you'd become if you fell from that height."

"If you dare to do anything reckless, I'll poison you to death!"

As Little Fairy Doctor's threatening words fell, a fragrant breeze wafted towards Xiao Yao.

Immediately, a soft, fragrant body crashed into Xiao Yao's arms.

The soft, delicate body that crashed into his arms felt like a blow to Xiao Yao's heart, causing his heart to tremble violently.

Taking a deep breath to suppress some of his burgeoning lust, Xiao Yao reached out and embraced her slender waist, secretly marveling that she truly was the woman with the most slender waist in the world.

"Aren't you leaving yet?"

Just as Xiao Yao was savoring the softness in his arms, Little Fairy Doctor's embarrassed and indignant voice rang in his ears.

"With such a beauty in my arms, it's no wonder I was momentarily distracted. I'll be going now."

Xiao Yao lightly touched the edge of the cliff with his toes. The two of them then plunged straight down the dark cliff.

At this moment, Xiao Yao smiled wickedly and whispered in her ear, "Little Fairy Doctor, I seem to have forgotten to tie the rope. It seems we can be a pair of lovebirds in the underworld. With you by my side, I won't be lonely down there."

"Ah... I'm going to die, you damn bastard, how could you forget something like this? Waaah, I... I don't want to die yet!" Hearing Xiao Yao's words and feeling the violent wind rushing past her ears, she quickly hugged Xiao Yao's waist tightly and screamed loudly.

Just as Xiao Yao was about to see that dark, steep mountain wall, his body trembled slightly, and the black wings on his back flapped gently, causing his rapidly falling body to slowly stop in mid-air.

Xiao Yao lowered his head, looking at the Little Fairy Doctor who was now tightly hugging him back, and couldn't help but smile teasingly. His gaze swept over a dark spot on the steep, dark rock wall, and he said softly, "Little Fairy Doctor, can you tell where that cave is? Is it that spot?"

Little Fairy Doctor felt the cool breeze on her face, and slightly opened her starry eyes. Looking at the black battle wings on Xiao Yao's back, she said with shame and indignation, "Why didn't you say you had battle wings earlier? I thought I was really going to fall. I'll remember this, and I'll get my revenge sooner or later."

After scanning her surroundings, she hesitated for a moment, then pointed a slender finger to a dark spot and whispered, "It should be there..."

Looking at where Little Fairy Doctor was pointing, Xiao Yao nodded slightly and whispered a reminder: "Hold on tight."

Hearing Xiao Yao's words, Little Fairy Doctor hesitated slightly. However, when Xiao Yao shuddered and accelerated again, shooting towards that location, she was so startled that she quickly grabbed Xiao Yao's waist, buried her face in his chest, and dared not move.

He then arrived at the dark place that Little Fairy Doctor had pointed to. Looking at the darkness, Xiao Yao conjured a wisp of flame in his right hand and flicked his finger at the dark place. The flame shot out and, illuminated by the light emitted by the flame, revealed the hidden cave.
