Chapter 471: 470. Do you know each other?

Sister Tang appeared to be quite the medical fanatic.

If the real owner knew what she was thinking, they’d be at a loss for words — Tang Shu wasn’t a medical fanatic; she was utterly obsessed with poisons!

On this side, Su Xiaochi scanned the surroundings, noticing that all the Tomb Raiders had lost their ability to retaliate. After giving a few instructions to her teammate beside her, she also plunged into the water.

Zheng Anhe was startled and had yet to snap out of his daze from seeing the snow lotus when he noticed that one more person had disappeared from the scene.

He simply sat down by the riverbank to keep watch, ready to deal with any unexpected situations.

Swimming along the river for two or three minutes, Su Xiaochi finally emerged where the pathway suddenly opened up before her eyes. It was only when she surfaced towards the light that she realized there was a hidden paradise on the other side.

The river led to a place similar to land, with vast soil stretching as far as the eye could see, and the air filled with the fresh scent of trees and wild herbs. Dotted here and there with wet patches, it was like a primeval wetland, densely packed with variably sized plants.

Apart from the snow lotus she had seen earlier, there were unknown bright red plants, as vibrant as rubies, and several green plants with leaves of odd and beautiful shapes.

The sight was mesmerizing.

No one would have imagined that such a place could exist within an Ancient Tomb.

Just...

"Damn, it’s so cold!"

Swearing, Su Xiaochi quickly climbed ashore, creating sloshing noises as she did, her whole body shivering from the freezing cold.

In contrast, Tang Shu seemed unfazed, squatting carefully in front of a cluster of snow lotus and picking them.

"They say in martial arts novels that Inner Strength can keep you warm, turns out it’s true!"

Unable to help herself, Su Xiaochi took a few more glances at her.

Tang Shu looked up briefly, feeling quite pleased.

"It’s not that mysterious — Inner Strength can indeed regulate some discomfort caused by external environments, but it doesn’t make one completely immune to severe cold."

"I thought as much, you still wear down jackets after all."

Su Xiaochi got onto the bank, squatting beside her to observe her technique.

"Do you need help? If there’s anything I need to be careful of, please let me know."

"Sure."

Tang Shu didn’t stand on ceremony with her, taking out several porcelain vases from her waterproof backpack and explaining in detail how to pick the herbs without damaging their potency.

Half an hour later, the two returned with their bounty.

Su Xiaochi could clearly feel the joy emanating from the person next to her, clicking her tongue in admiration.

"It seems only these herbs can coax a smile out of you."

Tang Shu raised an eyebrow, her eyes brimming with pride.

"You don’t understand the beauty of herbs."

"..."

I suspect you’re mocking me for only knowing how to fight and kill.

Su Xiaochi turned her face away, choosing to ignore her smug expression.

"We’ve been busy for so long, having picked only a small portion, what about the rest?"

"The environment here is suitable for the growth of several herbs; if transplanted elsewhere, they probably won’t survive very long. Let’s leave it this way for now."

Tang Shu’s gaze lingered on the remaining precious herbs for a moment, and the first thing that came to mind was the laboratory of Cloudscape Pharma.

Perhaps... by adjusting the lab’s environment, they could achieve the effect of transplantation?

By the time the two returned to the Main Tomb Chamber, forty minutes had passed.

At this point, Wen Nuan had already cleared the battlefield and was stationed with a group of people by the riverbank. Not a single member of the Tomb Raiding Gang was left in sight, the only exception being Zheng Anhe sitting next to her, chatting away.

Su Xiaochi was confused for a moment, "You know each other?"
