278: Chapter 278 Departure

As soon as these words were spoken, the air fell instantly silent.

"How is that possible?" Qian Mo said calmly. "It's you instead who broke the checkpoint's robot and barged in just like that, without following the Security Bureau's procedures. From that perspective, you're the one who is most suspicious."

Hearing Qian Mo's words, a faint glimmer flashed in Martial General Hu Dachui's eyes, and he immediately smiled and rubbed his bald head, looking a bit embarrassed.

"Ahem, I had an urgent matter... Right, I don't have time to chat with you guys! I need to go find someone to save a life..."

Although he was still somewhat suspicious of the two who had suddenly appeared, once he remembered his mission, Martial General Hu Dachui didn't have time to ramble on with them anymore.

Besides, first, he didn't sense any dangerous Aura from them, and second, even if they were dangerous people, so what? He wasn't a good person either, so there was no need to waste time on them...

"Wait..." Xing Yaoyan called out to Martial General Hu Dachui, who was preparing to leave. "Is someone injured among you? I'm actually a reclusive miracle doctor, you know~"

She had long since smelled the thick scent of blood on him. This blood scent still retained traces of terrifying pressure, as well as some scent that made her salivate... It must be the blood of some high-ranking Esper...

Qian Mo glanced slightly at the girl. He had been rejoicing that this Tier 6 big brother wasn't holding a grudge against them and had even indirectly cleared the obstacles blocking their path, so they could have taken the opportunity to run away... But now, with a single sentence, Xiao Yan had personally thrown that opportunity away...

"Do me a favor..." Xing Yaoyan quietly tugged on the boy's sleeve, using Voice Transmission with an impolite tone.

"Okay." Qian Mo nodded quickly, afraid of upsetting this ancestor.

After all, he had already done that with her, and in the System, Xiao Yan's favorability towards him had reached a staggering eighty. Plus, he had accidentally injured her before...

Although he didn't know what her goal was, even if it meant going through fire and water with her, he wouldn't even frown.

Besides, given her cautious personality, she must definitely have some certainty about this matter; it was enough for him to just trust her...

Noticing the fluctuations of spiritual power between the two, Martial General Hu Dachui also knew about their little actions.

But as the saying goes, in the face of absolute strength, any schemes and tricks are futile; he wasn't worried at all that the other party could pose any threat to him.

However, the words of this White-haired girl wearing a mask just now did surprise him a little; she had actually guessed that someone in his exploration team was injured.

Could she really be a reclusive miracle doctor?

"Oh, little girl, you and your boyfriend shouldn't get involved in this matter... This is the highly toxic venom of a Tier 7 Snake Demon; it must be treated by a professional Tier 7 Esper. You guys look like you're only around Tier 4, so it definitely won't work..."

Martial General Hu Dachui shook his head, responding hurriedly and impatiently.

Upon closer reflection, although the girl looked confident, the huge gap in tiers was still an insurmountable chasm... He dared not take this risk...

"Wait... I really can heal it..."

Seeing that the other party still didn't believe her, Xing Yaoyan didn't hide it anymore. She extended her hand, and a red Demonic Power appeared in her palm.

The next moment, the ground seemed to sink slightly under the pressure of this red Demonic Power's Aura, and an invisible hurricane, centered on Xing Yaoyan, swept violently outwards, kicking up fine sand and dust.

"This is... the Demonic Power of a Tushan Fox Demon..."

"You are a Yao?"

"That's right."

Xing Yaoyan smiled, looking at the burly man in front of her who had almost jumped up with a leisurely expression, as if she wasn't worried at all about whether he would attack her...

"The Demonic Power of a Tushan Fox Demon is said to be able to neutralize all poisons in the world. Even if there is a difference in tiers, it is enough to effectively suppress it, allowing the poisoned person to force the toxins out of their body..." Martial General Hu Dachui muttered, somewhat dazed.

His eyes reflected this fiery red Demonic Power, as if he had seen a flame of hope.

Now, he didn't even know if he could get someone to help if he went to the Security Bureau, and it would definitely take a long time. In that case, he didn't know if the captain could hold on...

After confirming the type of Demonic Power repeatedly, Martial General Hu Dachui looked up at Xing Yaoyan again and was slightly stunned.

Afterwards, he was seen hurriedly retracting his Aura completely, bowing slightly, and requesting respectfully:

"Um, please come with me to the Land of Destruction... Rest assured, although you are a Yao, our exploration team members have always valued loyalty and righteousness, and we will not do anything like kicking someone when they are down. As long as you help us, we will definitely reward you handsomely..."

"Hmph hmph... You've got a good eye, huh~" Xing Yaoyan said with a smile.

Hearing her words, Qian Mo on the side subconsciously looked towards her other hand and saw that an exquisite jade token had appeared in her palm at some point, jumping back and forth between her slender fingers.

"Of course... Having been in the Land of Destruction for so long, I can still recognize the jade token of the Kingdom of Myriad Demons' royal family..."

Now, Martial General Hu Dachui's voice was much quieter.

At the same time, his confidence in the other party's ability to heal the captain had increased significantly. With the Demonic Power of a Tushan Fox Demon and being of the Kingdom of Myriad Demons' royal family, she must be from that lineage of Tushan Fox Demons.

The entire Tushan Fox Demon tribe had been reclusive for years and basically never appeared in public. But just looking at the Kingdom of Myriad Demons' king, Tushan Qing, no one dared to underestimate this low-key Yao Race tribe.

Come to think of it, his luck was actually quite good. Now, not only could he help the captain neutralize the poison, but he also had the chance to befriend a Yao of the Tushan clan. Now that the Star Calamity was approaching, the relationship between humans and Yao was getting better and better. Perhaps their Starlight Exploration Team could use this Tushan Fox Demon card to advance a few spots on the leaderboard...

No one who could survive in the Land of Destruction for so long was a fool.

Xing Yaoyan also knew this well, which was why she could be so bold as to directly expose her identity as part of the Yao Race.

But she wouldn't believe for a second that this trip wouldn't be dangerous, yet she had to take the risk—because she had smelled the faint scent of star marrow in the bloody scent on Martial General Hu Dachui.

After such a huge failure before, which had also indirectly led to her exposing a "defeat CG"... she now urgently needed to get her most reassuring trump card back into her hands; the recovery of her Star Pattern was absolutely urgent.

Moreover, she had been to the Land of Destruction once before, and plus, many of the areas here had been swept over by various exploration teams, and those powerful Star Beasts were all gathered in the depths of the Land of Destruction, so as long as they were careful, there would be absolutely no problem...

"Okay, we agree. Let's go."

Saying this, Xing Yaoyan took Qian Mo's hand and walked slowly towards the checkpoint.

"He's going too? Wait... are you two really a couple? A human and a Yao..."

"What? Do you have an objection? Or should I just not go, and let you go try your luck at the Security Bureau?"

The White-haired girl walking in front turned her head, a trace of impatience flashing in her golden eyes.

"Don't! I have no objection! Let's go quickly!" Martial General Hu Dachui hurriedly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
