Collecting Spiritual Herbs

"I'll entice the beast out of the cave and kill it outside the cave; fighting him within the cave will be extremely difficult," Yuan remarked before approaching the cave, calm and confident. 

Xi Meili then turned to Valeria and stated, "Big Sister Valeria, I encourage you to stay behind me for your safety; if the Scale Viper strikes you, you will not be able to survive." 

"Scale Viper? This is the first time I've heard this; is it truly as harmful as you claim?" General Valeria inquired, her curiosity clear.

"A Spiritual Beast is many times stronger than a Magical Beast; even an SS-rank monster is like a mouse in front of a venomous snake," Xi Meili stated to Valeria, adding, "So, you best be careful and stay behind me!" 

General Valeria gazed towards the cave and then at her hand with a peculiar expression on her face; she felt weak and incapable because this was the first time she had met such a circumstance.
