I had never encountered such a situation before, nor did I understand the toxicity of that flower. I could only silently pray that my method would work.
Fortunately, heaven seemed to have heard my prayers. Shangguan Yao stopped rambling, and her complexion gradually improved.
I tidied her clothes and carried her towards the cave.
When I returned to the cave carrying Shangguan Yao, everyone looked at me strangely.
Luo Yaqin stepped forward, her tone laced with jealousy, and said, "Not bad, Lu Zi Ye. I didn't expect you to conquer Shangguan Yao in just half a day. You're quite quick."
Damn it, don't frame me!
I denied it, but Luo Yaqin snorted and told me to look at Shangguan Yao's appearance. I lowered my head and saw that Shangguan Yao's face was still flushed, and she was mumbling something, looking quite shy.
Damn, it really does look like that.
No, my reputation in this life cannot be ruined like this.
I quickly explained to them that Shangguan Yao had been poisoned.
When I mentioned the sea of flowers, the women all looked wistful. Xia Liuli cupped her face, already lost in her imagination, "How beautiful! Taking pictures in a place like that would get so many likes."
Su Yunran patted her little head and chuckled, "You're still thinking about photos? You might die in there if you went."
Xia Liuli clutched her head and retreated to the side, looking a bit wronged.
Seeing that it was still early and Shangguan Yao wouldn't wake up for a while, I told the women to look after her.
I picked up my knife and bow and arrows, preparing to search the surroundings again for anything useful.
Guan Hai'er heard me and started to get up to go with me, but I pushed her back down.
"You rest for today. I'll just look around nearby and get a general idea."
I walked out of the cave entrance and headed in a different direction, deeper into the jungle.
I have to say, the plants on this island look like discarded imperfections from nature's creation.
I saw various strange flowers, herbs, and bizarre fruits that I couldn't name along the way.
Out of caution, I didn't pick any. After all, I didn't have the courage of Shen Nong to taste every herb, especially when faced with a purplish, possibly poisonous fruit.
Occasionally, I could hear animal roars from deep within the forest.
When I was young, I often watched nature documentaries, but I had never heard any animal make a sound like that.
Its cry was like wind whistling through sharpened bamboo, extremely piercing.
It sounded very dangerous.
I firmly believed in the saying that in an unknown jungle, if you don't court death, you won't die, so I quickly changed direction and continued exploring.
Strangely, there was a constant buzzing of insects around me, a low hum, but when I tried to find them, I found nothing in the grass.
As I walked, I suddenly heard the sound of flowing water ahead!
Water!
We had very little water left from the original cave, and now was the perfect time to replenish our supply!
I had been worrying about finding water, and haha, as expected, when one door closes, another opens.
My mind, which had been growing tired, instantly perked up.
Finally, after continuously cutting through the grass, I reached the source of the water.
Pushing aside the foliage, my eyes lit up. There was indeed a pool of water here!
The pool was seamlessly nestled between imposing cliffs, with a constant flow of water pouring in from above, bringing a touch of life.
There were even a few rabbits drinking at the edge of the pool.
I was overjoyed. Not only had the water problem been solved, but I even had dinner for today!
I quietly sheathed my knife, afraid of disturbing them, and approached the rabbits step by step.
These rabbits were still innocently drinking at the pool, completely unaware of the danger approaching them.
In a blink of an eye, I was behind them. Just as I was about to catch them, my peripheral vision caught sight of something unusual.
What the hell is that?
I froze, not even bothering to react when the rabbits noticed my presence and fled in panic. I just stared blankly at that spot.
Right next to the pool, shiny armor reflected a cold light, making it impossible to look away. There was a boat here!
And not just a simple wooden boat, but a modern vessel that could only be manufactured by industry!
I strode towards it.
Emerald green vines and moss had enveloped the hull, revealing only a corner of it to my sight.
I walked up to it, pushed aside the vines, and gently touched the cool hull.
Upon closer inspection, I finally noticed something peculiar.
