Although Qi Ling really wanted to act on his own, the feeling of exhaustion in his body left him feeling helpless. If his body couldn't recover, he probably wouldn't be able to do as he wished.
Seemingly anticipating Qi Ling's predicament, Xiao Ye specially exchanged dozens of recovery potions from the Exchange Shop to help Qi Ling regain her strength.
"Um, Xiao Ye, I'm really touched that you're willing to feed me the medicine, but could you... please not shove a dozen bottles of medicine into my mouth at once?" Qi Ling said, sweating profusely as she looked at Xiao Ye's posture.
Xiao Ye, however, seemed not to hear her, continuing to feed Qi Ling the medicine while saying, "Huh? What did you say? I can't hear you! My dear Qi Ling, I'm doing this all for your own good, so you can recover as soon as possible! Just accept my good intentions and take all these medicines!"
Qi Ling knew that Xiao Ye was still complaining about why he hadn't told her about hiding his identity, so he had no choice but to swallow all the medicine. At least he believed that Xiao Ye wouldn't give him the wrong medicine.
Seeing Qi Ling's mouth full of medicine, Xiao Ye's anger turned to laughter. At this moment, Xiaoyu also came to Qi Ling's side, scrutinizing his face and saying, "Wow? Qi Ling, so you're Qi Ling? Then the Eliminate Ling Alliance we joined is supposed to eliminate you, isn't it?"
Qi Ling said helplessly, "Hmm... that seems to make sense, but what Qian Xunji and the others said isn't true."
Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Yes, I believe you. People should verify the truth with their own eyes. I've known you, Qi Ling, for so long, so of course I know what kind of person you are."
Qi Ling smiled happily upon hearing Xiaoyu's words, but then he asked curiously, "Huh? Where's Kurumi? Where is she?"
Xiao Ye then said, "Oh, you mean that woman? She seemed to think that once your identity was exposed, there was no point in continuing, so she left first."
"I haven't even asked you yet, Qi Ling, how could you be with such a dangerous person? It's amazing you're still alive, you're incredibly lucky!"
Qi Ling said in surprise, "Huh? Really? Is Kurumi that dangerous? I don't think so."
"Of course it's dangerous, Luna. You must have heard of the Witch of Time, Kurumi, in the Demon Alliance, right?" Xiao Ye asked Luna.
Luna nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. Sister Alice specifically told me before that this person is the most dangerous one, and that I shouldn't go near her unless absolutely necessary."
Qi Ling asked, puzzled, "Huh? But even though Kurumi is very strong, she shouldn't be the strongest here, right? Why are you specifically mentioning her? Isn't Chu Ling stronger than her?"
"It's different, Qi Ling," Xiao Ye said helplessly. "Do you know what kind of person is the strongest? It's someone who has no ulterior motives and therefore no weaknesses!"
" Kurumi never participated in the competition for the purpose of winning; she was just having fun! Among the Eight Great Demonic Souls, she is the most dangerous and unpredictable. Compared to Chu Ling or Qian Jiyin, she is several times more dangerous!"
After listening to Xiao Ye's words, Qi Ling pondered silently for a moment, then suddenly said, "Huh? Something seems off. The number of the Eight Great Demonic Souls doesn't seem right?"
"Let me think. Now, the people who are confirmed to be one of the Eight Devils' Souls are me, Xiao Ye, Kurumi, Xue Qinghe, Cao Yang, Chu Ling, Qian Jiyin. So, who will be the last one, Cang Yue or Zhen Hong?"
Xiao Ye shook her head and said, "None of them! Qi Ling, although I haven't seen all Eight Great Demonic Souls either, you should know that the last remaining Demonic Soul has different attributes from Cang Yue and Zhen Hong."
Qi Ling exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Really? I thought the last of the Eight Devils was Zhen Hong. Are you so sure, Xiao Ye?"
Xiao Ye said helplessly, "Of course, or rather, anyone could be one of the Eight Devils, but only Zhen Hong, she absolutely cannot! As for the reason, Qi Ling, you will naturally find out later."
Qi Ling didn't pay much attention to Xiao Ye Ye's suspense, but instead said, "So, among these people, there's one who's one of the Eight Devils' Souls? But I haven't seen anyone noteworthy."
Xiao Ye shook her head and said, "I don't know. Maybe some people didn't participate. It's all possible."
"Alright, let's think about what to do next, Qi Ling," Xiao Ye said. "Although we've earned enough points to clear the level these past few days, and we even have some left over, I still feel really unwilling to leave like this!"
Qi Ling then said, "So, what do you plan to do? You should know that now that my identity has been exposed, I've become a target of everyone's attention. Perhaps as soon as I leave the safe zone, I'll become the target of everyone's capture."
"Furthermore, since you're looking for a truly valuable reward, the only one I can think of is the last remaining SSS-rank monster. But under these circumstances, do you think we have a chance of hunting it?"
Indeed, putting aside whether Qi Ling and the others can escape the harassment of others, if they are disturbed again while hunting SSS-level monsters, the consequences would likely outweigh the gains, and there is a high possibility that it will be very bad.
Xiao Ye then proudly declared, "Since I've asked this question, it's because I'm absolutely certain! Qi Ling, perhaps you don't know this, but besides killing, our Sleepless City has another unique skill! That's treasure hunting!"
"No matter what kind of ruins or ancient tombs they are, we can successfully retrieve what we want from them! Moreover, many of our Night Clan's secret techniques were originally created for this purpose!!"
Hearing Xiao Ye's words, Qi Ling said helplessly, "Sigh, I thought it was something serious! It's just tomb raiding! Why make it sound so high and mighty!"
"Oh dear, how could you say that, Qi Ling? Please call us illegal archaeologists!" Xiao Ye said. "Besides, if it weren't for this, how could we have discovered the greatest treasure hidden here!"
"Oh? What is this that's even more precious than an SSS-level monster?" Qi Ling couldn't help but ask, "Did you discover some ruins on the island?"
"Smart!" Xiao Ye laughed. " Qian Jiyin started attacking SSS-level monsters as soon as he arrived on the island, but we started searching for the entrance to the ruins on the island as soon as we arrived!"
"Through our efforts, we have finally found the entrance to the ruins on the island, and we are certain that the benefits we will gain from conquering these ruins will be no less than those from defeating an SSS-rank monster!"
