Chapter 19 Mu Li's Jealousy, A Stare-Off on the Cliff!

Upon hearing the sound, everyone's expression hardened, and they immediately drew their weapons, ready for battle.

Soon, everyone discovered the source of the screams.

Among the mercenaries at the front of the group, three were ashen-faced as ice sculptures, collapsing helplessly to the ground.

Each of them had a dark wound on their neck.

"It's a Crimson Ice Serpent!"

The mercenaries in the group looked around and quickly discovered that on the branches above the three mercenaries, a crimson ice snake was hanging upside down.

The Crimson Ice Serpent is a common magical beast found on the outskirts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Its attribute is ice, and its ice contains a chilling poison.

If a person is poisoned and does not receive timely treatment within half a day, the cold poison will freeze the blood in their body, eventually leading to death.

"Damn it!"

The three bitten men were all mercenaries from the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. Mu Li's face was extremely grim, and he angrily shouted, "Attack them all together! Tear these three beasts to pieces!"

"yes!"

Upon hearing Mu Li's order, the members of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group responded loudly and launched a variety of attacks at the three-headed crimson ice snake!

A first-tier magical beast, with strength comparable to a human at the Battle Realm.

Therefore, under the combined attack of dozens of people, the three-headed red ice serpent was beaten to death in no time.

After killing the three-headed crimson ice serpent, Mu Li failed to find its demonic core, which made his expression even more grim.

The others in the group, seeing this, subconsciously looked at Xiao Lei, their eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Not long ago, Xiao Lei warned that there were magical beasts ahead, and it came true in no time.

The Wolf Head Mercenary Group members had been mocking Xiao Lei before, but they never expected their karma to come so quickly.

The Wolf Head Mercenary Group is one of the three major mercenary groups in Qingshan Town. They have always been domineering and arrogant in Qingshan Town, and other mercenaries have suffered a lot from their bullying.

Now, seeing the Wolf Head Mercenary Group suffer a setback, everyone was somewhat gloating.

At the same time, everyone paid even more attention to Xiao Lei, who was able to detect the traces of magical beasts in advance.

At the center of the group, Little Fairy Doctor glanced in Xiao Lei's direction, but didn't show any particular reaction.

Despite this, Mu Li, who had been keeping a close eye on Little Fairy Doctor, revealed a gloomy look in his eyes and began to resent Xiao Lei.

The Wolf Head Mercenary Group was embarrassed because of Xiao Lei's reminder about the magical beasts, and also because Little Fairy Doctor paid more attention to Xiao Lei.

"Little Fairy Doctor, thank you for your help."

Mu Li suppressed his emotions and had the three poisoned mercenaries carried to Little Fairy Doctor's side. He then smiled gently at Little Fairy Doctor.

Little Fairy Doctor nodded slightly and began to treat the three of them for their cold poison, causing the group to temporarily stop.

"Brother, you were right! With your abilities, you have a lot to offer in the Monster Mountain Range! Interested in teaming up with us and making some money there?"

The mercenary who had previously cursed Mu Li approached Xiao Lei again and said admiringly.

"Thank you for your kind offer, but I don't have that plan for the time being," Xiao Lei said, shaking his head slightly.

The man felt a little regretful when he heard Xiao Lei say that.

After the attack by the Crimson Ice Serpent, the mercenary group became much more cautious.

Moreover, everyone had even greater faith in Xiao Lei.

So, the middle-aged man who had previously accepted Xiao Lei into the team approached Xiao Lei again and politely asked him to help with early warnings, promising to give him an extra reward in return.

Xiao Lei thought that it would be easier for him to win the lottery if he could get along well with the person, so he agreed.

With Xiao Lei's early warnings, the team was always able to anticipate monster attacks, making their journey very smooth. This made almost everyone in the team extremely grateful to Xiao Lei.

Xiao Lei, the youngest member, seemed to have become the leader of the team without anyone noticing, which made Mu Li of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group feel a mixture of jealousy and resentment.

"Everyone, we're almost at the herb-gathering area. Please take a break; you must be tired after walking for so long."

After traveling a while longer, Little Fairy Doctor's gentle voice suddenly rang out in the quiet procession.

Upon hearing that voice, the entire group stopped in their tracks and nodded obediently at the white-clad woman whose smile was pure and innocent.

After a brief discussion, a dozen mercenaries dispersed to keep watch around the area, while the others sat down to recover the energy they had expended while traveling.

While resting, the mercenaries couldn't resist chatting.

"Come to think of it, I've ventured into the Monster Mountain Range so many times, but I've never had it this easy!"

"Who says otherwise? Before, when we were doing quests in the Monster Mountain Range, we'd often get ambushed by monsters without warning. This time, we were well-prepared and took the initiative to surround and kill the monsters!"

"Haha, this is all thanks to Brother Xiao Lei's abilities!"

"Yes, we all owe a great debt to Brother Xiao Lei this time!"

"Damn it, how am I going to live without Brother Xiao Lei?!"

"You disgusting bastard, get out of here!"

"Ha ha!"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"..."

Seeing everyone praising Xiao Lei so highly, Mu Li, who was in the crowd, had a dark look in his eyes and prepared to go and talk to Xiao Lei.

"Huh? Where did that kid go?"

Mu Li was about to go find Xiao Lei when his brows suddenly furrowed. When he discovered that Little Fairy Doctor was also missing, his expression darkened even more!

……

Let's go back a little bit.

The mercenary team's rest area was located not far from a small grove of trees.

Xiao Lei was listening to the mercenaries bragging and joking around when he suddenly noticed Little Fairy Doctor heading towards the woods.

So Xiao Lei also made an excuse to leave the mercenary group and head towards the grove.

After passing through the grove of trees, Xiao Lei discovered that there was a steep cliff ahead.

Below the cliff, there is a lush, green forest, which is quite beautiful.

Xiao Lei glanced around but couldn't find any trace of Little Fairy Doctor.

Could it be that she has already discovered the cave and gone down to explore it?

Xiao Lei's heart stirred slightly, as if he had thought of something, and he stepped towards the edge of the cliff.

Suddenly, Xiao Lei spotted a plant with pale white flowers blooming on the edge of the cliff.

This plant has pale white flowers, and among the blooming flowers is a greenish-red fruit.

This is... a white berry?

It seems that the cave containing the flying combat techniques and the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture is nearby.

On the day Xiao Lei left the Xiao family, he obtained a copy of "The Treasure Mirror of Spiritual Materials" from Xiao Xun'er. It contained detailed information on all the spiritual herbs and rare treasures on the Dou Qi Continent.

During this time, Xiao Lei had memorized all the contents while traveling, so he recognized the spiritual medicine in front of him at a glance.

However, the white magnolia is not ripe yet.

Xiao Lei ignored the white orchid fruit and continued forward until he reached the very edge of the cliff, where the steep precipice came into view.

Between the steep cliffs, there were scattered pebbles, strangely shaped trees growing haphazardly, and some bone-like objects.

On the cliff face, a figure in a white dress was struggling to lift a piece of horizontal wood and lean it against a certain spot on the cliff, as if trying to conceal something.

The figure in the white dress was none other than Little Fairy Doctor.

Xiao Lei stared intently and could vaguely see a dark cave entrance there.

Little Fairy Doctor had just put down the crossbeam when she seemed to sense something. She suddenly looked up and met Xiao Lei's gaze. Her expression stiffened slightly.
