"Who are you? Sneaking around like this is not heroic at all, show yourself now!" Guardian Hua said disdainfully after hearing the words.

"Hmph... foolish human clan, you’re not worthy to meet me!" The other party said arrogantly.

"Idiot!" Guardian Hua responded speechlessly.

"How did you manage to crack all the array formations here?" The other party ignored Guardian Hua’s words and directly asked, clearly directing the question at Mo Jiuli.

"Because I know array formations!" Mo Jiuli replied cooperatively after hearing the question, answering while also searching for the other party’s location.

Di Minghan was also like Mo Jiuli, trying to locate the other party through their voice, but hadn’t found them yet.

"Are you an alchemist?" The other party hesitated and asked again.

"That’s right." Mo Jiuli answered once more.

"What elixir did you use to crack my poison mist?" The other party asked again.

"I’m afraid I can’t tell you that!" Mo Jiuli thought for a moment and replied.

"Why?" The other party asked in surprise.

"Because I’m not used to talking to air. If you don’t dare to come out, then there’s no point in talking!" Mo Jiuli said deliberately.

"Hmph... sly human clan, do you think that even if you see me, you can defeat me?" The other party retorted disdainfully.

"Do I even need to defeat you? Aren’t you the one who’s too scared to come out? Aren’t you the one who brought us here because you need something from me?" Mo Jiuli asked, feigning surprise.

"You... how did you know?" The other party asked in shock after hearing the words, and immediately shut up, but their aura fluctuations were detected by Mo Jiuli and Di Minghan.

The two of them exchanged a glance and directly headed in one direction, with Guardian Hua and the others hastily following. Sure enough, on the innermost left side of the pitch-dark cave, Mo Jiuli and the others saw a pitch-black plant that was nearly withered - it could be described as an ancient tree...

"Master, this is the Mother of Darkness!" Little book exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the ancient tree.

"Hmm? You say it’s the Mother of Darkness? But isn’t the Mother of Darkness supposed to be a plant-type poisonous object? How could it be like this? It’s clearly poisoned!" Mo Jiuli said with confusion after hearing the words.

"I don’t know why either, but this indeed is the Mother of Darkness. Master, if you don’t believe me, look closely at its tree heart!" Little book said with certainty.

Upon hearing this, Mo Jiuli closely observed the only unwithered central portion and indeed discovered it was the Mother of Darkness. Curious and frowning, Mo Jiuli asked, "The Mother of Darkness is originally a poison, why would you be poisoned?"

"You... you actually recognize me?" The other party asked in even greater surprise, looking at Mo Jiuli.

"Yes, I recognize you!" Mo Jiuli replied calmly.

"Then can you cure my poison?" The other party asked hopefully. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"That depends on whether you’re worth saving!" Mo Jiuli thought for a moment and replied.

"What do you want?" The Mother of Darkness hesitated upon hearing those words and asked.

"I want you!" Mo Jiuli said directly.

"You..." The Mother of Darkness didn’t expect Mo Jiuli to be so direct, but it knew that anyone would make such a request. Mo Jiuli’s demand was not excessive, just too straightforward!

Di Minghan slightly frowned. Although he knew that the Mother of Darkness before him might be a rare medicinal material, considering that the other party spoke with a man’s voice, he couldn’t help but feel a tinge of jealousy in his heart at Mo Jiuli’s straightforwardness in claiming the opponent,
