The figures in front of him were as thin as skeletons, with black patches all over the exposed skin, emitting a strong stench.
Almost everyone was unrecognizable from their original appearance.
Yet Yuan Jiewen recognized one of the figures at a second glance; it was Liu Bo, who had teamed up with him earlier.
There was no other option. In addition to finding Liu Bo being the primary reason for this adventure into the Secret Realm, Liu Bo was also the only companion who mysteriously disappeared since entering the Secret Realm, leaving a lasting impression.
"Liu Bo? Where?" Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang perked up, covering her nose and asking.
Yuan Jiewen pointed to one of the figures drinking water, saying, "That’s him."
So they were actually humans... Qiao Sang followed his direction and exclaimed inwardly, "Whoa, crap."
The body seemed to consist solely of bones, and the skin appeared decayed, covered in black patches, looking more terrifying than zombies on TV, completely unrecognizable from the photograph.
So this is what the Channel Arrow Frog meant by solving the sewage problem...
This is too miserable...
Even though it’s miserable, surviving is good enough... Qiao Sang covered her nose tightly and cautiously took a breath, preparing to step forward.
At this moment, Lin Shila next to her drew her back.
"What’s wrong?" Qiao Sang stopped and turned to ask.
"Water conversion, a high-level Water-type skill, can absorb the pollution in the sewage through living organisms and then expel it clean." Mikaela feigned a fearful expression and said, "They are now in the state of water conversion; there must be a Pet Beast performing the water conversion nearby."
She paused and added, "Do not go just like that, it’s dangerous."
Indeed, if there weren’t wild Pet Beasts nearby forcing them, these people wouldn’t be drinking such disgusting sewage... Qiao Sang nodded, "I understand."
After speaking, she turned to Little Treasure Hunter: "Bring them over."
Since it’s dangerous for her to go, let them come over.
Them? Yuan Jiewen was taken aback.
Weren’t we supposed to just find Liu Bo?
"Xun Xun~"
Little Treasure Hunter covered its nose, its eyes turning blue.
The next moment, the few people who were lying and drinking sewage appeared before them.
The few unrecognizable figures were initially stunned, then raised their heads with vacant eyes, letting out a dull "Ah ah..." sound.
Only one of them had their eyes regain clarity, tears welling up, they exclaimed with intense excitement, "Ah!" and tried to stand up.
However, the next moment, their bony lower limbs trembled, and they fell to the ground.
Yuan Jiewen’s heart trembled, unable to bear watching anymore.
Those who come to the Secret Realm are all Beast Tamers of not low levels, respectable people outside, now turned into such a state...
"Boss, are you planning to take them all away?" Yuan Jiewen turned his head, his expression complex.
Qiao Sang made a sound of affirmation: "Since so many people are still alive, naturally we need to take them all."
"But, if we take so many people, it might be even more difficult for us to get out." Yuan Jiewen said.
"Ah! Ah!"
Upon hearing this, the person who just fell instantly became agitated, struggling to get up, looking at Qiao Sang with eyes full of fear and pleading, seemingly afraid of being left behind.
Qiao Sang said calmly, "As long as they are healed, they won’t be a burden."
Heal them... Yuan Jiewen suddenly thought of something and fell silent.
Mikaela looked at Qiao Sang, eyes flashing with admiration.
"Lubao, Healing Light." Qiao Sang instructed.
Lubao opened the zipper without saying a word.
The moment it peeked out its head, an overwhelming stench like poison permeated the air.
Lubao’s face changed dramatically and quickly retreated into the bag, closing the zipper to block the stench.
Qiao Sang: "..."
"Hold on, it’ll be quick." Qiao Sang said helplessly.
"Bing’ai..."
Lubao in the backpack displayed a struggling expression.
After about two or three seconds, it took a deep breath, displaying determination, and extended its paw to the zipper. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
"Gurgle gurgle..."
At this moment, the foul river water began to boil and suddenly exploded with a loud bang, blasting everywhere.
Dozens of heavy streams of water surged up frantically, like water pythons, viciously sweeping towards the group.
"Ya!"
"Xun Xun!"
"Gangzhan!"
Yaobao’s figure flickered, and hundreds of identical Flame Kirus appeared simultaneously, opening their mouths to spray hundreds of rotating scorching flames.
Little Treasure Hunter deftly flung massive Shadow Balls, each about a meter in diameter, forward.
Gangbao’s figure grew, turning its whole body into a brightly glowing iron black color, standing in front of its Beast Tamer.
