After Qian Ying returned, Zhou Zixing had already finished clearing this side.
"Elder Qian, come over without worry. I've already cleared this place out." When Zhou Zixing saw Qian Ying retreating, he immediately stepped out from the shadows behind the rocks and called to him.
Although Qian Ying believed Zhou Zixing's words, he still carefully looked around, his flashlight unconsciously sweeping the surroundings.
He was simply used to being cautious and did not trust Zhou Zixing very much. After all, he and Zhou Zixing had only begun cooperating on this expedition. They had no previous relationship or connection. Moreover, in The Valley, even those close to one another had to remain on guard, let alone a Xiantian Master like Zhou Zixing who had no ties to him.
Of course, he believed Zhou Zixing harbored the same thoughts as he did. They were both old schemers, so neither had any right to laugh at the other.
Sure enough, upon seeing Qian Ying's movements, Zhou Zixing chuckled to himself but said nothing. They shared the same thoughts.
"Are there many poisonous creatures here? What kinds did you encounter just now?" After shining his light around and finding nothing amiss, Qian Ying switched off the flashlight and came over to Zhou Zixing, asking as he did so.
Zhou Zixing immediately led Qian Ying into concealment among the piles of rocks and replied, "There weren't many. Just some venomous snakes and scorpions. Oh, and a spider the size of a fist. It looked highly venomous. But they were all ordinary poisonous creatures. Though they moved quickly, they were fairly easy to clear out."
As he spoke, he turned on his flashlight and gestured toward a corner. "Look, they're all over there."
Following the beam, Qian Ying saw a densely packed heap of poisonous creatures.
