Liu Yuting pulled out the short knife, the blade glowing coldly in the setting sun, and stabbed Wood-swallowing Fox's head without hesitation. The blade stirred, but only the sticky brain and blood came out, not Magic Core.

"Tsk, what bad luck."

She frowned and shook off the blood on the knife, with a hint of disappointment in her tone.

"Forget it, this beast's fur is still intact and can be sold for a good price."

Liu Mingyu reluctantly stood up, covering the wound on his shoulder, his voice was a little weak.

Liu Yuting nodded, skillfully slashed Wood-swallowing Fox's fur with a short knife, and peeled off the entire hide in one swift movement.

Blood dripped down the fingertips and seeped into the moist soil, and the strong smell of blood spread quietly in the dense forest.

At this moment, neither brother nor sister noticed that eight green eyes quietly opened in the canopy of trees above their heads.

It was a Poison Spider that was as big as a millstone. Its body was as black as ink, but its abdomen was covered with strange scarlet lines, like some ancient curse.

Eight long legs clung to the branches silently, and the sharp claws opened and closed slightly, dripping with turbid venom.

Liu Yuting rolled up the peeled animal skin and stuffed it into the bag behind her back. Just as she was about to help Liu Mingyu up, suddenly, a drop of cold liquid fell on the back of her hand.

"Huh?"

She subconsciously raised her head and met those close green compound eyes!

"Brother! Be careful!"

She suddenly grabbed Liu Mingyu and backed away!

"Hiss--!"

Poison Spider let out a harsh neigh, kicked off its eight long legs, and swooped down from the canopy of the tree!

Liu Mingyu reacted very quickly, endured the severe pain, and slapped the ground with his palm.

"Rock Eruption!"

"Boom!"

A sharp stone pillar broke out of the ground and pierced Poison Spider's abdomen!

However, the beast twisted strangely and changed direction in mid-air to avoid the stone pillar. At the same time, it flicked its tail and a pale white spider silk shot out!

"Tsk!"

The spider silk was like a whip, and it hit Liu Mingyu's chest hard, instantly corroding a black mark!

"Uh-huh!"

Liu Mingyu groaned and staggered back, his chest hurting. Obviously the spider silk was highly poisonous!

"Brother!"

Liu Yuting His eyes were about to burst, his short bow was fully drawn instantly, and three Water Attribute Battle Qi condensed arrows were shot out at the same time!

"Boohoo!"

Poison Spider dodged strangely from left to right, dodging two of them. Although the third arrow hit its forelimb, it only gave it a slight pause and did not cause fatal damage!

"Damn, this beast is too fast!"

Liu Yuting gritted his teeth, feeling extremely anxious.

Liu Mingyu has been poisoned. If it is delayed any longer, the poison will spread and the consequences will be disastrous!

Poison Spider seems to be aware of their predicament. Its eight eyes are flashing with cruel light and it is slowly approaching. Its claws are constantly dripping venom, obviously waiting for the best time to launch a fatal blow.

"Yuting, leave me alone, you go first!"

Liu Mingyu's voice was weak and his face was turning blue.

"Shut up! Let's die together!"

Liu Yuting shouted sharply, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes,

She bit the tip of her tongue fiercely and sprayed a mouthful of blood on the short bow. The Dou Zhe Dou Qi that had just broken through in her body surged crazily!

"Ice Arrow--Condensation!"

The runes on the short bow suddenly lit up, and an arrow that was completely icy blue and filled with cold air slowly took shape!

Poison Spider seemed to sense the threat, screamed, and pounced!

"Go to hell!"

Liu Yuting Release the bow string, and the ice arrow breaks through the air!

"Poof!"

The ice arrow accurately hit Poison Spider's abdomen, and the cold air spread instantly, freezing its scarlet lines into frost.

Poison Spider let out a shrill scream, and its eight long legs struggled wildly, but their movements slowed down significantly.

"Run!"

Liu Yuting grabbed Liu Mingyu's arm and dragged him towards the depths of the jungle.

Behind him came the cracking sound of Poison Spider breaking free from the frost, followed by the sound of branches breaking. The beast was chasing after him!

Liu Mingyu's face turned blue, his breathing was rapid, and his steps were staggering.

As the poison spread in the blood, his vision began to blur, and he could barely keep up with his sister's pace.

"No, it's too fast!"

Liu Mingyu gritted his teeth and growled, his voice hoarse.

Liu Yuting glanced back, and saw the figure of Poison Spider approaching quickly among the shadows of the trees, its eight green compound eyes flashing with cold murderous intent.

Her eyes darkened, and she suddenly pulled out the Wood-swallowing Fox animal skin that she had just peeled off from her luggage, and threw it hard at Poison Spider!

"Go on!"

The bloody animal skin drew an arc in the air and landed right in front of Poison Spider.

Poison Spider's offensive suddenly stalled, and his chelicerae subconsciously clamped on the animal skin, biting it greedily. Wood-swallowing Fox's flesh and blood has a natural attraction to Warcraft.

"Now!"

Liu Yuting seized the opportunity and supported Liu Mingyu to speed away.

The two stumbled through the bushes until the neighing sound behind them completely disappeared, and then they stopped in a hidden rock crevice.

Liu Mingyu could no longer hold on and fell to his knees heavily, a mouthful of black blood spurting out. The wound on his chest corroded by spider silk had turned purple, and toxins were eroding his body along the meridians.

"Brother! Hold on!"

Liu Yuting tremblingly took out a bottle of Detoxification Pill from Storage Ring, poured two pills out and stuffed them into his mouth.

After entering the elixir, Liu Mingyu's breathing became slightly calmer, but his face was still pale. He reluctantly opened his eyes and his voice was weak.

"Not enough, the poison is too strong!"

Liu Yuting clenched his fists and dug his nails into his palms. Ordinary Detoxification Pill could only suppress it temporarily, if a stronger antidote could not be found!

"Don't sleep! I'll take you back!"

She picked up Liu Mingyu on her back and ran toward the outskirts of the forest.

When he arrived at the Jia Nan Academy, he could not find his mentor, which made Liu Yuting feel increasingly uneasy.

"Get out of the way!"

She roared hoarsely, pushed past the crowd of onlookers, and headed straight to Yellow-tier class's courtyard.

The originally noisy students in the courtyard were quiet for a moment, and then a burst of noisy discussion broke out.

"Isn't that Liu Mingyu? Why does it look like this?"

"Tsk, tsk, it looks like he was poisoned. I'm afraid he may have provoked a poison-type monster above Dou Qi."

"Liu Yuting can actually drag him back? The love between brother and sister is so deep!"

Among the few people who originally wanted to make friends with Liu Mingyu, one of them quickly took out a bottle of elixir.

"I have Clear Spirit Powder here, give it to him first!"

Not to be outdone, the other person took out a light green pill from his arms.

"Use my Hundred Herb Pill, the detoxification effect is better!"

Liu Yuting was stunned for a moment.

These people are usually very stingy. When hunting in a team, they would worry about even one Blood Pill. Why are they suddenly so generous today?

She didn't have time to think too much, she opened Liu Mingyu's teeth and poured the elixir in.

However, Liu Mingyu's face was still ashen, and the wound on his chest corroded by the spider poison even began to ooze purple-black pus and blood.

"How could it be useless?"

Liu Yuting His fingertips trembled and he suddenly raised his head to look at the crowd.

"Do you have any stronger antidote?!"

The usually stingy students were now scrambling to take out the elixirs, and some even stuffed them directly into Liu Yuting's hands.

Liu Yuting was stunned for a moment, but soon realized that they were trying to please her!

But why is this?

"You guys?"

Just as she was about to speak, a round-faced girl came over and spoke in a low voice.

"Yuting, Senior Brother Jiang came to see you today!"

Senior Brother Jiang?

Liu Yuting's heart skipped a beat, and his cheeks heated up slightly unconsciously.

The genius of Jiang Donghua, Alchemy Department, came to the Jia Nan Academy and set foot in Fourth-grade Alchemist within one year, and he was also the person she had always secretly liked.

"He, what did he come to us for?"

Liu Yuting tried hard to sound calm, but his fingertips were trembling uncontrollably.
