Their confidence all stemmed from this formidable girl; without her accompanying them, they felt inexplicably weak.
"Go ahead quickly, I’ll stay here and look for Wu Nuan longer."
It was only a guess that the sudden emergence of the Gu Master was related to Wu Nuan; Bai Junjun was not certain, and since the mountaintop was of great interest, she felt it was necessary to investigate the area.
Thus, splitting up the group was the best decision.
The maids also knew the situation was special and not the time for fastidiousness, finally gritting their teeth and nodding:
"Then we’ll have to trouble you, young lady."
So they suppressed the anxiety in their hearts and escorted the two towards the Divine Temple.
As the maids left, only Bai Junjun remained in this mysterious cave.
She raised her hand to turn the Drooping Tube Flower back into a wristband before she started searching for traces of Wu Nuan.
However, within a ten-mile radius, there was no presence of carbon dioxide from living humans. Instead, there was a vaguely fishy and sweet scent in the cave, especially strong around the bed.
As if she had thought of something, Bai Junjun quickly walked over to the cave’s bed and spotted a faint dark brown bloodstain on the disheveled bedding.
Bai Junjun narrowed her eyes in thought.
If it was due to an injury, the quantity was far too small. But if not from an injury, where did the bloodstain come from, especially located in the middle of the bed?
Thinking of the so-called Python Poison Wu Nuan had suffered from... Could it be... the Fox found this place, and discovering the poison-affected Wu Nuan, the two of them...
Facing this possibility, Bai Junjun was stunned.
No... could it really be?
How could this be so dramatic...
At this moment, Bai Junjun suddenly felt the space twist slightly, followed by the long-absent Mosquito-eating Plant reappearing.
Yet the usually vigorous Mosquito-eating Plant now looked terribly wilted, with half of its body missing, leaving only a flower sepal that looked like it was hanging by a thread, a truly pitiful sight.
Bai Junjun was taken aback by the Mossquito-eating Plant’s disheveled appearance, as without the Fox, she couldn’t enter the Space and could only take out the plant.
The Mosquito-eating Plant was in a frail yet frenzied state; even at the brink of its strength and forcefully summoned, it still valiantly let out a roar, raising its leaves in a defensive stance, with the trembling sepal biting towards Bai Junjun.
It was only after biting Bai Junjun’s palm that it belatedly realized this familiar scent wasn’t an enemy but... its owner.
The Mosquito-eating Plant looked up, the sepal gently loosened, followed by a series of twisted contortions, before it completely collapsed.
Seeing the Mosquito-eating Plant , Bai Junjun understood everything.
The Mosquito-eating Plant was outwardly strong but inwardly weak, pretending to be fierce to scare away strangers; in reality, it was already at its limit and only fainted when it recognized her, its silly master.
But what exactly had the Mosquito-eating Plant encountered to end up in such a state?
Back in Fubo City, even after being ripped by the Flood Dragon, it had never been in such a critical condition.
How could Bai Junjun care about the bloodstain on the bed? She focused her entire attention on treating the Mosquito-eating Plant.
As Bai Junjun’s Special Ability infused into it, the Mosquito-eating Plant quickly regained consciousness, and its missing sepals and leaves started to regrow.
Although it looked to have recovered, it had just suffered a heavy blow. Bai Junjun brought out Small Cedarwood along with the basket from Space, then buried the Mosquito-eating Plant in Small Cedarwood’s planter to limit its movements.
Speaking of which, Small Cedarwood had been staying in Space all this time, free from Mosquito-eating Plant’s bothers, watching bees buzzing around daily and Lychee Flowers falling from the sky.
