Chapter 68: Accidentally Entering the Monster Market
The system's voice rang in Liu Yu's ears: "Host, a new mission has arrived! You need to find a magical herb that can make people young again within three days."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yu nearly fainted: "What? A miraculous herb that can restore youth? Where can I find that?"
Xu Xian also looked troubled: "This immortal herb is probably a rare thing in the world."
Xiaoqing, however, said nonchalantly, "What's there to be afraid of? Let's ask around and maybe we'll find some clues."
Thus, they embarked on a journey to find the magical herb.
On this day, they arrived at a bustling market. This market was no ordinary market; it sold strange and unusual things, and the people coming and going were not all human.
Liu Yu looked around curiously: "This place looks quite interesting."
As they walked, they came to a stall run by a monster with fangs, who sold all sorts of colorful potions.
Liu Yu picked up a bottle of green liquid and asked, "What's this?"
The monster stall owner grinned: "This is a potion that can make people invisible. Would you like to try it, sir?"
Liu Yu was skeptical: "Really?"
He opened the bottle cap to pour out a little to test, but the medicine sprayed out all over his face.
"Ouch!" Liu Yu exclaimed.
But then he realized that no one around him could see him anymore, and he excitedly shouted, "He really became invisible!"
Xu Xian and Xiao Qing called out anxiously from the side, "Liu Yu, where are you?"
Liu Yu heard their shouts and tried to go over, but accidentally bumped into a passerby.
The passerby felt a force bump into him but couldn't see anyone. He screamed in fright, "A ghost!"
The market was thrown into chaos.
Liu Yu finally found Xu Xian and Xiao Qing, but the invisibility potion's effects hadn't worn off yet.
Xiaoqing said angrily, "Brother-in-law, you're just making things worse!"
Just then, a mysterious man dressed in a black robe walked over and said, "I can help you break your invisibility, but you have to do me a favor."
Liu Yu quickly replied, "Okay, as long as it can be resolved."
The mysterious man took out a crystal ball, muttered incantations, and a flash of light appeared, revealing Liu Yu.
The mysterious man said, "I need your help to find my lost magic gem."
Liu Yu and the others had no choice but to agree.
They began searching for magic gems at the market, but after asking many people, they still had no clues.
Exhausted, Liu Yu sat down on the ground: "Where exactly is this gemstone?"
Just then, a talking bird flew over: "I know where the gem is, but you have to give me food."
Xu Xian quickly took out a piece of pastry and handed it to the little bird.
The little bird ate the pastry and said, "The gem is in the temple at the end of the market."
They arrived at the temple and found it to be eerie and gloomy.
Liu Yu was a little scared: "This place feels weird."
Xiaoqing said, "What are you afraid of? Let's go in and take a look."
As we entered the temple, a huge monster suddenly jumped out.
The monster roared, "This is my territory! How dare you trespass!"
Liu Yu was so frightened that she hid behind Xu Xian: "Xu Xian, you have to think of something!"
Xu Xian stammered, "Your Majesty, we didn't mean to."
The monster wouldn't listen to their explanations and swung its fists at them.
Xiaoqing immediately engaged in battle, fighting the monster to a standstill.
Liu Yu anxiously called out from the side, "Xiao Qing, keep going!"
Just as Xiaoqing was gaining the upper hand, the monster suddenly spewed out a plume of black smoke and took the opportunity to escape.
They searched the temple for a long time before finally finding the magic gem.
After handing the gem over to the mysterious man, he told them, "I've heard that on a sacred mountain to the west, there might be the magical herb you're looking for."
After thanking the mysterious man, Liu Yu and his companions set off again toward the sacred mountain.
Along the way, Liu Yu kept complaining, "The road to finding the immortal herb is too difficult."
Xu Xian comforted him, "Don't complain, maybe you'll find it soon."
Upon reaching the foot of the sacred mountain, they saw a sign that read: "There are ferocious beasts on the mountain; those who are timid should not enter."
When Liu Yu saw the sign, she had second thoughts: "Maybe we should just go back?"
Xiaoqing glared at him: "Brother-in-law, are you really that cowardly?"
Liu Yu gritted her teeth: "Fine, I'll go! Who's afraid of who!"
As soon as they reached the top of the mountain, they heard a tiger's roar.
Liu Yu's legs went weak with fear: "There really is a tiger!"
Suddenly, a ferocious tiger leaped out of the woods...
