Chapter 10

After finishing her meal, Su Mo found some medicine for Yue Ying and told him to apply it to the bruise on his face.

Then she planned to go up the mountain with the two Dragon Cubs; that time she had gone in the evening, visibility was poor, so this time Su Mo intended to carefully search for edible food and also see if there were any other herbs.

Yue Ying had originally planned to go with him, but Su Mo made an excuse and refused him.

After all, the fox has been acting abnormal these past couple of days; it's better to guard against him, for if he loses control of his beastly nature on the mountain, she, a weak little woman who can't even truss a chicken, would be no match.

Losing her chastity is trivial; the key is that her current body simply cannot withstand those overly excited matters…

Su Mo had him grind cornmeal at home, make it fine, and then eat pancakes in the evening.

She was carried up the mountain on the back of a Dragon Cub; the Dragon Cubs' flying skills are still immature, but short-distance flight is fine.

Lying on the Dragon Cub's back, overlooking the entire forest, it was especially shocking. Layers of green undulated like a green sea.

"\"How beautiful. \" Su Mo couldn't help exclaiming.

After circling around, she had the Dragon Cub set her down.

After all, they are both young low-age dragons, with limited stamina.

The three began searching for food; Su Mo taught the Dragon Cubs to identify wild vegetables and distinguish poisonous mushrooms.

The Dragon Cubs listened attentively and learned quickly; before long they had filled an animal-skin bag with stuff.

Soon Su Mo also harvested a full packet of herbs.

She also found some potatoes, which made her very delighted.

At noon they ate a few wild fruits to stave off hunger, then continued searching for food.

As they passed a water source, Su Mo washed her face, and a Dragon Cub lay down and drank a few sips of water.

Su Mo frowned and reminded, "Even if the outside water source is clean, drink less; it's best to boil it first."

The Dragon Cub tilted his head, not understanding, and said, "We've always drunk it this way."

"\"That's why you sometimes get stomachaches and diarrhea; there are many microorganisms and bacteria in the water. \"

"\"Oh~\""

The Dragon Cub nodded, half-understanding.

"\"By the way, what's your name? \" I had forgotten to ask their names these past few days."

The Dragon Cub narrowed his pure eyes and smiled, saying, "I'm Dong Dong, he's Nan Nan, he's my younger brother."

Just then Nan Nan returned from his patrol, his eyes bright as he told Su Mo, "Medical Sister, there's a wild boar ahead!"

"\"Where?! \""

Su Mo's eyes widened suddenly: "Take me there quickly!"

The two Dragon Cubs led Su Mo over, and indeed they saw several wild boars foraging ahead.

Su Mo asked Dong Dong, "Do you have any weapons on you that could knock down a wild boar?"

Dong Dong rummaged through his animal-skin pouch and then produced a small bow and arrow, handing it over.

Su Mo took it and sighed, "How could this possibly knock down a wild boar?"

Even if it hit, it wouldn't cause any substantial harm to the wild boar.

A sudden idea struck her; she silently summoned Xiao Jiu: "Do you have any secret weapons? I want to bring back a wild boar."

Xiao Jiu: "Everything in the System Mall requires the host to exchange points; you currently owe 381 points, so sorry, Xiao Jiu can't help."

Su Mo frowned: "Can't you just advance the points beforehand?"

Xiao Jiu: "Too many violations; Xiao Jiu will be erased by the System Administration Bureau, and the host will disappear as well."

Su Mo couldn't help rolling her eyes: "Your System Administration Bureau is really damnable! Are you just going to let me watch the meat at my lips fly away?"

Xiao Jiu pondered for a moment: "Host, you just gathered some Mandora flowers, didn't you? You forgot—we have a laboratory!"

Su Mo blinked, "Mandora flower?"

"Yes, yes, yes, you can take it to the System Mall to be processed into powder or liquid."

Su Mo took out those few Mandora flowers and then sent them to the System Laboratory.

The panel showed several options: make into powder, make into liquid, or half each of the above options.

Su Mo selected the third option, and the laboratory quickly began operating.

She couldn't help exclaiming, "Wow, it's fully automatic! Awesome!"

Xiao Jiu: "When the host returns, you can study the toxins on your body. Once your body's toxins are all cleared, you can restore your original appearance and become an absolutely beautiful little fairy."

Su Mo knew that the toxins inside the Original Protagonist's body had altered her appearance.

The reason she isn't in a hurry to find an antidote is simply that she currently has no clue.

Anyway, she won't die anytime soon; she'll take things step by step.

Soon the Mandora flower liquid and powder were prepared, and Su Mo ended up with two small bottles in her hand.

The two Dragon Cubs looked at what she held in her hand with curiosity: "Medical Sister, what is this?"

Su Mo gave a sly smile: "It's a divine medicine that can fell a wild boar!"

She applied the Mandora flower liquid to the arrow, handed it to Dong Dong, and said, "Shoot!"

Dong Dong drew the bow, aimed, and with a "whoosh" the arrow flew out! It struck a wild boar's belly.

Su Mo and Nan Nan widened their eyes in excitement.

However, the next second, the wild boar suddenly let out a frenzied cry and fled in all directions.

Frightened, the surrounding wild boars also scattered wildly, heading straight toward Su Mo and her group.

Su Mo, while leading the two Dragon Cubs in flight, silently asked Xiao Jiu, "What's going on!"

Xiao Jiu: "Uh, host, didn't you read the instructions before use? Overuse will cause the wild boar to become temporarily excited……"

"\"What should we do now?! \"

"\"Don't panic; at most five minutes it will collapse. It's destined to become your dinner~\"

Su Mo speechless: "You'd better be glad—I didn't end up as their meal first……"

"Uhh~ You're blessed, you'll be fine~ Well, hold them off for a bit! Xiao Jiu, hide now~"

"You dog system!"

Su Mo shouted at the two dragon cubs: "You two, fly up quickly~"

Nan Nan panted: "Sister, we're consuming stamina too fast, we can't take off."

Su Mo felt numb, it's really heaven wanting her dead……

Dong Dong gasped: "I, I can't run much longer, I'll stay behind to draw them away……"

Su Mo urged: "Don't! Look for a chance to climb a tree!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Nan Nan scrambled up first, reaching out her hand to Su Mo.

"Su Mo sister, hurry up and come up!"

Su Mo turned and pulled Dong Dong from behind over, letting him climb up first.

By the time she got ready to climb up, the wild boars had gotten closer.

"Hurry up and come up, Su Mo sister!"

Just as Su Mo was about to climb up, the wild boar behind her darted over and bit her pant leg.

With a mighty jerk, it flung her onto the nearby grass.

Su Mo ignored the pain, instinctively stepped back, then pulled out the bottle from her pocket.

Almost as the wild boar lunged at her, she held her breath and casually flung the mandala powder from her fingertip.

At the same moment, an arrow flew from behind her, piercing the wild boar's eye, and the boar collapsed with a cry.

The wild boars behind, having inhaled a little mandala powder, also collapsed one after another.

Su Mo let out a long breath, glad the dosage was just right this time!

She climbed up from the grass, turned around, and saw an acquaintance.

Mo Xiao? How could he be here?

Looking at him, he seemed injured? Blood kept flowing from his left shoulder!

Before Su Mo could react, Mo Xiao strode over and said in a low voice: "Get out of here!"

Su Mo startled, before she could call to the dragon cubs in the tree, she saw not far off a group of strangely dressed male beastmen, each wielding sharp blades, surrounding them.

She instinctively widened her eyes【No way, just escaped the tiger's den, and now this?】

Su Mo gave the dragon cubs in the tree a look, signaling them not to act rashly.

As those people gradually approached, Mo Xiao secretly pinched Su Mo's wrist.

She understood his meaning, letting her find a chance to escape.

Su Mo certainly didn't want to throw away her life, but she simply couldn't get away……

"Snake Young Master, today you can die here with your fiancée—what a splendid fortune! On the road to the Yellow Springs, you'll have company, so you won't be alone!"

Su Mo startled, these people actually know her relationship with Mo Xiao?!

It's obvious they're targeting Mo Xiao, so they've long figured out his connections.

Su Mo felt despair……

【I should have made that damned snake break off the engagement, but he wouldn't! Even in death he drags grandma down~ sob sob, Mo Xiao isn't a big villain, is he? He can't just die so easily, right? He ought to live to the grand finale, right?!】

Mo Xiao startled, what villain? What grand finale?!
