The frozen corpse nodded, then said in many voices at the same time, "Yes! That's right! Of course! Alright! Give him the stuff!"

  Hearing what the Little Ones said, Yun Ge asked nervously, "So, please tell me how to find the bloody sweetaurum."

  "No need to look! No need to look! The bloody sweetaurum is right here in the Icy Abyssal Realm! There! They are growing on the hill behind you," the frozen corpse said, pointing to the small hill behind Yun Ge.

  Upon hearing this, Yun Ge quickly turned his head to check and found that on the hill, which was originally covered only with white snow, more than ten bright red flowers had grown at some point.

  "Remember, you must dig up the bloody sweetaurum along with the soil beneath it and take it with you. Otherwise, once the bloody sweetaurum leaves the Icy Abyssal Realm, it will wither instantly.”

  “Besides the roots and stems of the bloody sweetaurum that can cure diseases, the entire petal, including the nectar, can be used to make candy. So, don't forget to tell Candy Bear to cherish every drop of nectar!" the Little Ones said.

  "Okay, I got it! Thanks!" Yun Ge turned around and sincerely expressed his gratitude to the frozen corpse.

  But as soon as Yun Ge turned his head, he found that the frozen corpse had already curled up and sat on the snow in a kneeling position again. The Little Ones, who had been controlling the corpse, had also returned to the snow and formed countless tiny black holes the size of a needle tip. Moreover, these dark holes were fading at a visible speed and disappeared completely within a few seconds.

  "Hehehe! Hurry up and take those bloody sweetaurums away from here! Remember! We will be watching you! Hahaha!"

  With the last words of the Little Ones dissipating in the cold wind, Yun Ge immediately felt the magical power surrounding him disappear. Seeing this, Yun Ge did not dare to delay any longer because he was not only worried that the bloody sweetaurums on the hill would disappear soon after the Little Ones left, but also concerned that he would no longer be able to stay in the Icy Abyssal Realm unharmed after the Little Ones left.

  Therefore, hearing the final warning from the Little Ones, Yun Ge hurriedly climbed up the hill and uprooted the more than ten bloody sweetaurums along with the frozen soil above their roots, then put them all into his picking bag and took them out of the Icy Abyssal Realm.

  As soon as Yun Ge walked out of the Icy Abyssal Realm, he saw the wooden house not far from him. Then, he saw the Candy Lord and two guards, who were drinking hot tea and basking in the sun.

  "Damn it! I was risking my life in the Icy Abyssal Realm, and you guys were here leisurely basking in the sun? You were supposed to wait for me here, but in the end, you just found an excuse to come out on vacation, right?!" Yun Ge cursed angrily.

  The three people who heard the curse were obviously stunned for a moment, and then they all looked at Yun Ge, who was walking towards the wooden house, with an incredulous look.

  "Hey! It's me! What? Have you forgotten who I am so soon?" Yun Ge asked loudly with a puzzled look.

  "No, no! How could we forget who you are? But, Brother Yun Ge, why did you come out so soon after going in?" the Candy Lord immediately explained upon hearing this.

  "Come out soon? How is that possible? I felt like I had been in there for at least——" Yun Ge said, because he thought his experience in the desert was just an illusion created by the Little Ones and should not be counted into the total time he spent in the Icy Abyssal Realm.

  However, it was precisely because of this reason that Yun Ge became curious about how long he had actually been in the Icy Abyssal Realm. So he changed the subject and asked, "Did I really not stay in there for long?"

  The Candy Lord and the two guards nodded at the same time, and then the Candy Lord pointed to the sun in the sky and answered, "No, that's right. When you entered the Icy Abyssal Realm just now, it was exactly noon, and now it's just past noon."

  After the Candy Lord finished speaking, he signaled the two guards to hurry into the house and wake up the other team members who were about to rest.

  Then, he walked towards Yun Ge with an expression of disappointment that could not be concealed, and asked helplessly, "Brother Yun Ge, did you encounter any danger in there?"

  "Alas! It doesn't matter! At least you were able to come out unharmed, which is already much better than others!"

  "Brother, why don't you go into the house to rest first, and then tell everyone about your experience in there, to see if we can help you avoid those troubles, and then you can find another opportunity to go in and look for the bloody sweetaurum again!"

  Seeing that the Candy Lord was genuinely concerned about his safety, Yun Ge was also quite touched. However, to avoid getting into more trouble, Yun Ge still did not plan to tell the Candy Lord and the others about meeting the Forest Spirits.

  Therefore, while being surprised that he had only been in the Icy Abyssal Realm for such a short time, Yun Ge simplified the process of finding the bloody sweetaurum by cutting off the beginning and the end. Then, he took out the bag full of bloody sweetaurum in front of everyone's surprised eyes.

  Seeing that Yun Ge not only found the bloody sweetaurum but also collected more than ten at once, everyone was overjoyed and rushed forward to hug him to express their gratitude. Then, everyone couldn't help but cheer and dance. Seeing everyone so happy, Yun Ge sat down on a chair to rest with a sense of relief. Before long, he fell asleep soundly amidst the joyful celebration of everyone.

  When Yun Ge woke up again, he was lying on the only wooden bed in the simple wooden house. Because the stove in the house was still burning, even though the outdoor temperature was very low,

  If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

  Yun Ge did not feel any cold after waking up. Yun Ge jumped off the wooden bed, walked to the stove, picked up the kettle, and poured himself a cup of hot water. But before he could drink the hot water, the Candy Lord pushed open the door of the wooden house and walked in.

  "Hey? Little brother, you woke up so soon? How did you sleep last night? Do you want to sleep a little longer?" The Candy Lord asked with great concern upon seeing Yun Ge up.

  Yun Ge shook his head and replied with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, Candy Lord! I was too tired yesterday, so I accidentally slept for so long. Did I delay everyone's actions?"

  "Hahaha! No! Of course not! Oh my! Little brother, you must have been exhausted yesterday! Otherwise, how could you still sleep so soundly with us celebrating so loudly beside you?"

  "Come on! Let's go out! We were very lucky today! We actually hunted a mature wild deer here! They are almost done roasting the venison. You should come out and eat something quickly, and then we will set off to return to the village!" The Candy Lord said enthusiastically, putting his coat on Yun Ge's shoulders, and then led him out of the wooden house.

  After Yun Ge and his party finished eating, they packed up their bags and set off on the return journey, and soon they returned to the village smoothly. As soon as the Candy Lord returned to the village, he impatiently entered his room and began to study the bloody sweetaurum that Yun Ge had picked. Yun Ge also devoted a lot of energy to helping the Candy Lord research the formula for curing the aftereffects.

  It has to be said that the Candy Lord has superb skills and profound knowledge in the research of herbal formulas. Therefore, he quickly developed the formula for the first batch of therapeutic potions. Then, the Candy Lord began to test the effectiveness of this therapeutic potion on himself.

  At the same time, Lily and Lauren also voluntarily joined the ranks of testing the therapeutic potion. The Candy Lord, after testing on three volunteers including himself, quickly determined the potion formulas suitable for himself and others, and began to produce this therapeutic potion in large quantities.

  As everyone took the therapeutic potion made from the roots and stems of the bloody sweetaurum day after day, everyone's health gradually improved. The women who became sacrifices felt that their spirits were getting better and better, and their strength was also increasing. The Candy Lord's energy and spirit were also renewed day by day, and his damaged state became more and more stable.

  In this way, the Candy Lord no longer had to spend enough energy every day to support his unstable state, but could put all the freed-up energy into cultivation, trying to regain the power he lost due to the drop in state.

  Of course, it is not something that can be achieved overnight to re-cultivate to the original state, so the Candy Lord still did not forget to continue researching the formula for making new types of candy while cultivating.

  At this time, Yun Ge became more important. To be safe, after the Candy Lord ate the candy made with the newly adjusted formula each time, he would personally go to the Venomvine Tunnel to test the effect of the candy.

  During this period, in order to ensure that he would not have an accident during the test, the Candy Lord would invite Yun Ge to go with him. This is because Yun Ge has a natural resistance to the toxins in the Venomvine Tunnel, so if the Candy Lord has any problems during the test, Yun Ge can take him away from the dangerous situation in the first time.

  As the Candy Lord's state stabilized again and showed a slight improvement after cultivation, the effect of his witchcraft processing the pollen of the bloody sweetaurum naturally became better.

  Therefore, the Candy Lord soon achieved barrier-free and free access in the Venomvine Tunnel without relying on witchcraft protection, just by taking the new type of candy. So next, the Candy Lord focused the test on the upper Lost Woods.

  After the Candy Lord took the candy made according to the newly adjusted formula, he climbed up the huge slope at the end of the totem tunnel to the upper Lost Woods again with Yun Ge.

  Since it happened to be night at this time, in order to avoid provoking a large number of wild beasts that come out to hunt at night and bring trouble to themselves, the two decided to just walk around the giant tree after climbing out of the deep pit hidden under the towering tree, in order to test the effect of the new type of candy.

  However, even so, the two still encountered several wild beasts that happened to pass by when they walked behind the giant tree. When the wild beasts saw Yun Ge and the Candy Lord, they immediately roared and showed their sharp fangs.

  Seeing this, Yun Ge and the Candy Lord hurriedly leaned against the giant tree to make a defensive posture and immediately prepared to jump back into the dark pit on the other side of the tree at any time.

  What Yun Ge and the Candy Lord did not expect was that after these wild beasts, which had taken a hunting posture, approached the two, they suddenly stopped moving as if they had smelled some strange smell, and began to cautiously sniff the smell of the two people.

  Then, like discovering some danger, the wild beasts let out aggressive growls again. But this time, their growls were not to deter the two, but full of vigilance. At the same time, the dark gray fur on the bodies of the wild beasts all stood up as if they had encountered static electricity. Then, they began to slowly retreat back to the bushes behind.

  These wild beasts were afraid! This was still the first reaction of Yun Ge and the Candy Lord at this time.

  But what were they afraid of? Could it be that a more powerful wild beast had appeared behind them? Thinking of this, the two hurriedly looked at the bushes on both sides behind them. But they did not find any other wild beasts.

  "Something's wrong. These wild beasts seem to be wary of us," the Candy Lord, who was the first to realize that something was not right, said. Then, without waiting for Yun Ge to react, the Candy Lord took a deep breath and boldly took two slow steps forward.

  "Candy Lord! What are you doing? Come back quickly!" Yun Ge whispered to stop him. But the Candy Lord completely ignored Yun Ge and continued to take two more steps forward.

  At this time, the wild beasts that saw the Candy Lord approaching them also had a reaction again. They sniffed the Candy Lord's nose again, and then shook their whole body's fur violently, letting out a series of more terrifying growls than before.

  But this time, Yun Ge was no longer scared by them. Because, as the reaction of the wild beasts became stronger, Yun Ge finally realized that what they were wary of was not someone else, but himself and the Candy Lord.

  It seemed that the smell emanating from the two people made these wild beasts feel the danger, which caused them to change from an offensive posture to a defensive posture. The standing fur and violent shaking of the wild beasts were all due to the fear brought by the Candy Lord's slow approach.

  "Yun Ge! Although I am a demon who has cultivated into an immortal, and I also know some witchcraft, the witchcraft I have mastered does not have practical combat capabilities. ”

  “Moreover, after I transformed into a human form, coupled with the damage to my state, my own strength is not enough to deal with these wild beasts. Therefore, we had better leave before these wild beasts become more aggressive!" The Candy Lord hurried back to Yun Ge's side and said, seeing that his behavior had caused the wild beasts to retreat continuously.

  "Phew—! I agree with your suggestion! We had better leave quickly!" Yun Ge echoed.

  So, while closely watching the wild beasts in the distance, Yun Ge and the Candy Lord slowly retreated behind the giant tree, sticking closely to the tree behind them. Seeing this, the wild beasts also continued to growl and slowly retreated back to the bushes behind, leaving only a pair of blood-red eyes staring at Yun Ge and the Candy Lord in the dark forest.

  In the end, Yun Ge and the Candy Lord still returned to the deep pit hidden under the giant tree without any danger. The wild beasts did not take the opportunity to attack the two again, but disappeared into the dark forest after seeing the two leave.
