When we returned to the herb-picking team, we happened to meet people from the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

"Where have you been, Little Doctor? I couldn't find you and thought something happened to you." Mu Li came up to her with a smile on his face.

Little Medical Fairy didn't have a good look on his face: "Nothing, just going out for a walk."

"This is the Monster Mountain Range, full of dangers. If you want to go out for a walk, I can accompany you." Mu Li said in a persistent manner.

"No, I have other guards, it's safe."

It was Little Medical Fairy's words that made Mu Li notice Xu Qi standing beside him.

There was a barely perceptible sinister flash in his eyes, and he asked, "Oh? I remember this little brother is also from the guard team, right? I don't know what to call him."

Xu Qi glanced at him indifferently.

Xiao Yixiang couldn't see the sinister look that flashed by, but he did.

People like this probably already started to hate Xu Qi.

So Xu Qi walked past Mu Li calmly, leaving only one sentence.

"None of your business."

……

Chapter 18, Mu Li's Resentment

Mu Li: “???”

Xu Qi’s words made him a little stunned.

This person actually... dares to talk to him like this?

What a courage!

But because of the presence of Little Medical Fairy, he did not lose his temper. Instead, he smiled slightly. However, he remembered Xu Qi's appearance firmly in his heart, and his eyes were sinister and deep.

……

The subsequent journey was not very far. After an hour of travel, the herb-collecting team finally arrived safely at their destination - a rather hidden basin.

In the basin, various kinds of medicinal herbs grow everywhere, filled with refreshing medicinal fragrance. One breath of it will make people feel relaxed and refreshed.

"Everyone can camp here freely, but be careful not to damage the herbs here." The gentle voice of the Little Medical Fairy sounded.

The numerous mercenaries around immediately began to respond loudly and worked enthusiastically.

Just one sentence can make so many people cheer for her. It has to be said that Xiao Yixiang has a strong appeal in these people's hearts.

Xu Qi also followed the others and set up tents around the basin. At the same time, he had to be alert to the surrounding situation to prevent being attacked by monsters.

While Xu Qi was setting up the tent, Mu Li came over and said in a voice that only two people could speak: "Your name is Xu Qi, right?"

Xu Qi looked up at him with a calm expression: "What can I do for you, Captain Mu Li?"

His reaction made Mu Li's mouth twitch slightly, and an inexplicable anger rose in his heart.

Apart from Little Medical Fairy, this was the first time that Mu Li was ignored like this.

Even Xiao Yixian would be polite due to his status as the young leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

But this ignorant guy in front of him dared to ignore him like this.

"You are not from Qingshan Town, right? But I still advise you, no matter how arrogant you are outside, when you come to our Qingshan Town, you must abide by our rules here." Mu Li warned coldly.

"I don't quite understand what rules you are talking about?" Xu Qi pretended to be confused even though he knew the truth.

Mu Li did not hide his feelings and said gloomily, "Stay away from Little Medical Fairy. She will be my woman sooner or later. Don't try to hit on her, or I will keep you from leaving this mountain range!"

Xu Qi glanced at him with contempt and disdain in his eyes: "I am paid by Wanyaozhai to protect the herb-picking team. Xiao Yixian is also a member of the herb-picking team, and I have the responsibility to protect her. As for you, Captain Muli, you are not qualified to give me orders."

Strictly speaking, Xu Qi and Mu Li are both mercenaries hired by the herb-picking team, and there is no superior-subordinate relationship between the two.

Not only Xu Qi, but all other mercenaries who are not from the Wolf Head Mercenary Group are the same, they all take orders directly from Wan Yaozhai.

But due to the power of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, which is one of the three major mercenary groups in Qingshan Town, no one dares to go against them.

In addition, many people could see that Mu Li had ill intentions towards Xiao Yixiang, but they only dared to say it behind her back. On the surface, these scattered mercenaries would never dare to go against the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

"Good work ethic... so keep going."

Mu Li smiled grimly, turned and left.

Xu Qi was too lazy to pay attention to people like him.

Of course, if he insisted on asking for trouble, Xu Qi wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson on behalf of his father.

……

The herb-collecting team needs to stay in the basin for a few days so that they can concentrate on collecting herbs.

Collecting herbs is the job of the Wanyaozhai herb collecting team. Ordinary mercenaries cannot do this kind of work.

After all, most of the mercenaries are rough men who are clumsy and have no knowledge of herbs. Asking them to help pick herbs will only make things worse.

But there are exceptions.

"Is this the 'Luna Flower'?"

Xu Qi came to the side of the little medical fairy and watched her carefully digging a moon-white flower with a small shovel.

"You know him?" Little Medical Fairy was a little surprised.

Xu Qi nodded: "I guess so. I also know a little about herbs."

When he gained [Aspirations to Make Alchemy] and became a first-class alchemist, the system also thoughtfully gave him a complete set of knowledge and theories about basic medicinal herbs.

So Xu Qi still knows about some common medicinal herbs.

"The function of the Luna Flower is to calm the mind and help sleep. It can be used to treat insomnia, mental confusion, mental tension and other symptoms. Am I right?"

This time, Xiao Yixian was even more surprised. She looked up at him with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Do you really understand?"

She originally thought that Xu Qi was just pretending to know everything and wanted to show off in front of her.

I didn't expect that he actually told me the function of the Moon Goddess Flower.

Generally speaking, most mercenaries often come into contact with herbs such as white flower grass and hemostatic leaves that are used to stop bleeding and trauma, so it is not surprising that they know the effects of these herbs.

However, few people usually come into contact with the Luna Flower, let alone know its effects.

And Xu Qi actually knew the effect of the Luna Flower? ? !

"This should be the Soul-Restoring Grass, which can be used to heal damaged soul power."

"These should be Hedyotis diffusa, Millettia reticulata, Scutellaria barbata, and Heterophyllum sutchuenensis..."

Xu Qi named several herbs around Little Medical Fairy one by one.

With every word she said, Little Doctor Fairy’s surprise grew a little more.

Until the end, she was completely convinced that he really knew about herbs, and there was a glimmer of excitement in her eyes: "Since you also know about herbs, do you want to come over here and help?"

For Xiao Yixiang, it is a very exciting thing to meet a partner who also knows about medicinal herbs.

In addition, Xu Qi had saved her before, which made her feel quite fond of him.

Xu Qi smiled and said, "It's good to be able to help."

So he also got the privilege to dig herbs with Xiao Yixian beside her.

This left everyone else dumbfounded.

How could a young boy like him dig herbs with the Little Medical Fairy? ?

Moreover, the two of them were talking and laughing from time to time, and they looked very happy.

This made them feel envious and jealous.

What a rare opportunity it is to be able to talk and laugh with the Little Medical Fairy up close!

"Tsk tsk tsk, someone seems to be displeased." Several people were mocking.

The person they were talking about was, of course, Mu Li.

The latter had also noticed Xu Qi and Xiao Yixiang, who were talking and laughing there, looking very happy.

Mu Li's face was distorted with anger and he gritted his teeth.

Especially the little doctor fairy’s smile that comes from the heart, like the sunshine in spring, warm and beautiful.

But this smile made Mu Li even more ruthless.

Because Xiao Yixian had never smiled so happily at him before!

And now, she was smiling so happily at a young boy who appeared out of nowhere!

"Xu Qi...I'll remember you!"

"Since you want to die so much, then this young captain will grant your wish!"

If looks could kill, Xu Qi would have been cut into pieces by now.

……

Chapter 19, Night Exploration of the Cave

Night falls.

The herb-collecting team also fell into silence.

There were only the faint chirping of insects and the low roars of monsters in the distance.

But in the darkness, two figures walked out of the tent, carefully not disturbing anyone, and left the camp one after another.

"You even changed your clothes. Are you so well prepared? I didn't expect that although you don't have much strength, you have an adventurous heart."

Xu Qi looked at the little medical fairy who had changed into black clothes and couldn't help but joked.

Xiao Yixian blushed, puffed out her chest, and said, "This is called being fully prepared, do you understand?"

In contrast, Xu Qi did not change any clothes, and he only emphasized simplicity.

"Okay, okay, I know you're fully prepared, let's go."

Xu Qi walked in front, holding a torch, and walked back along the route marked during the day.

I have to say that Xiao Yixiang is really brave. Even though she has no skills, she still dares to go out in the middle of the night.

During the day, she even dared to go down the cliff alone. She was really brave.

……

The two soon arrived at the cliff where they had seen it during the day.

"It should be right here."

Xiao Yixian took out a prepared rope, tied one end firmly to the tree trunk, and then lowered the rest of the rope down the cliff.

"This rope of yours should be strong enough, right?" Xu Qi suddenly mentioned.

Xiao Yixian immediately understood what he meant and replied firmly, "It will be fine!"

She had learned her lesson during the day and had secretly tested this rope. It was definitely capable of bearing the weight of two people!

"That's fine. I'll go down first, and you follow me slowly."

Xu Qi was very gentlemanly. He held a torch in one hand and a rope in the other and slowly walked down the cliff.

"You are quite graceful."

After muttering something, Xiao Yixian also began to grab the rope and slowly go down.

The two men, one above and one below, kept a distance of twenty centimeters and went down to the cave about ten meters below.

In the pitch-black abyss, only the torch in Xu Qi's hand provided a faint light.

Everything went smoothly for the two of them at the beginning, but when they were halfway down, a rustling sound suddenly came from the darkness.

Like the sound of scales rubbing against rocks in the eyes.

"Xu Qi..."
