They felt as if their bones had been crushed. It was dark too, so it was hard for them to move around easily.
As a member of the five great aristocratic families, that was the first time that Qi Xia and the rest of them were pushed to such an extent. What aggravated them more was the fact that the people who pushed them thus far were only ordinary students who would not have been qualified to attack them on normal occasions.
“Those… bastards, at least it looks like they don’t dare to follow us down here.” Tang Nazhi laid on the ground and gritted his teeth as he endured the pain in his body. He then propped himself up.
Yang Xi and Qi Xia did not even bother with their own injuries and immediately retrieved the medicine for Yan Yu from his space ring.
Just when they were prepared to feed the unconscious Yan Yu with the medicine, a ball of light gradually approached from somewhere nearby.
“It’s light from a light crystal. Damn it! Don’t tell me there are other teams here!” Tang Nazhi inwardly cursed. They had gambled everything with their jump earlier on, and none of them had any strength for another battle. If they were to encounter another team, they would not even have the strength to run.
Qi Xia immediately fed Yan Yu with the medicine for his illness and could only resign themselves to whatever fate that followed.
Their hearts dropped as the light approached nearer to them.
Was their defeat imminent?
Just when the four of them despaired, a familiar teasing voice rang in their ears.
“Hey, what a coincidence. How did the four of you get here?”
Before the person could finish their sentence, a delicate figure walked out from the woods.
Shen Yanxiao held a light crystal and looked at her team members who sat on the ground. Her teasing gaze swept across their battered bodies.
“Shen Jue!!” Tang Nazhi looked at Shen Jue in shock. He could not believe his eyes.
Qi Xia relaxed and smiled at the teammate who had disappeared for a long while.
“You little thief, you were quick to escape back there.”
Shen Yanxiao smiled as she looked at the four of them who were covered in dirt. Then, she noticed Yan Yu’s pale complexion.
“What’s wrong with him?”
“Nothing, he’s just overly tired,” Yang Xi said.
Shen Yanxiao knew that Yang Xi deliberately concealed some information from her, but she did not push him. Instead, she was very interested in their miserable appearances.
“Hmm… what’s wrong with you young masters? Why are you so…” She decided to be kind and to not jeer at their scruffy looks.
Qi Xia revealed a bitter smile. “It’s a long story. Instead, where have you been all these while? From your appearance, it looks like you have not met with any other teams.” Shen Yanxiao’s clothing was still clean and neat as if it was no different than the time they first entered the Obscure Forest. On the other hand, each one of them looked worse than she did.
Shen Yanxiao shrugged her shoulders. “I wandered around randomly and managed to make three antidotes while I was doing that. I was on my way to deliver them to you, but I did not expect to see all of you here.”
“What?!” Tang Nazhi stood up quickly. He looked at Shen Yanxiao in surprise and said, “You managed to produce the antidote?”
As someone who aspired to become an advanced herbalist, he looked at the formula but concluded that it was not something that a first-year student could produce. The difficulty of that formula exceeded the level that a first-year student could understand.
However, Shen Yanxiao said that she had successfully produced the antidotes!
How could that be possible?
