Those ancient medicines, probably no one recognizes them now. It seems returning to the primeval forest is necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hualiang forbade her from going to such perilous places, so she dared not let him know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fifteenth day of the first lunar month had already passed, perfect timing to go shoot the movie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On her first day back with the crew, she secretly asked Xu Jiayang for a leave at noon and slipped away toward the primeval forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the primeval forest was a bit far, driving fast, she should be able to return by evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would have an hour to climb the mountain and gather herbs, which should suffice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, she wasn’t sure if Medicine Mountain had the necessary herbs. However, since it was undeveloped, with many wild medicinal herbs, it should have some.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering the primeval forest, there was no one around. Xia Weibao was about to use Qinggong to fly to Medicine Mountain to save time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as she was about to move, she heard a rustling sound behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She swiftly turned her head, seeing only the dwarf bushes swaying behind her, without a person in sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place in the primeval forest held many dangers, so she remained cautious and carefully picked up a tree branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked over and gently brushed aside the leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small green snake suddenly lunged out, its glaring venomous fangs terrifyingly frightening, and its red forked tongue emitted a rotten aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With quick reflexes, Xia Weibao grabbed the snake by its neck, took a bottle from her small backpack, extracted the snake venom, and then released the snake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When used correctly, snake venom can also cure illnesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing these tasks, she gently sniffed the surrounding air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This perpetually sunless, damp area was filled with the scent of decaying leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t a pleasant smell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the rotting smell, a faint scent of blood lingered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao’s eyes flickered. There was someone nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, it was an injured person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who could it be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first time she came to the primeval forest, she encountered an injured Fang Lilin; she wondered who it would be this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the person shouldn’t be seriously injured, or else they wouldn’t have fled so quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tilted her head, sensing the environment around her. No one was there; they already left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that it was getting dark, she couldn’t stay too long.
