Chapter 19 - Access to Medicinal HerbsDeep within the primal forest!
As the fragrance from the elixir grew stronger, the surrounding beasts became more and more irritable.
However, the four ninth level beasts did not dare to act rashly. That was why they had calmed down.
However, as the three tender leaves on top of the tree continued to expand and gradually turned yellow, the surrounding hundreds of Cla.s.s 10 beasts couldn"t hold it in any longer.
Under the stimulation of the rich aroma of the spirit medicine, under the temptation of being able to obtain spirit medicine, they ignored the deterrence of the difference in ranks and voluntarily attacked the four level nine beasts.
Although there was a huge gap between the levels, allowing four ninth level beasts to easily kill a tenth level beast, there were still too many of them.
Within thirty seconds, four ninth level beasts were injured.
Of course, the price of getting injured was the deaths of dozens of Cla.s.s 10 beasts.
Seeing the number of beasts constantly decreasing, Yu Haoran, who was hiding beneath the corpses of the beasts, did not relax at all. Instead, his expression became more and more anxious.
In just thirty seconds, a fifth of the original green leaves had started to wilt and turn yellow.
According to the rate of withering, it would take two minutes at most for the three leaves to completely wither and fall.
The fall of the tender leaf meant that the elixir at the root would enter deep into the ground and completely disappear.
That"s not right!
Looking at the three withering green leaves, a thought suddenly flashed across Yu Haoran"s mind.
In his previous life, the reason why Qin Hua was able to become the champion of the sect"s selection and get chosen by one of the seven great powers of the Profound Sky Continent was because he used this spirit medicine that could raise his cultivation and potential.
In other words, before the three tender leaves completely withered, Qin Hua would definitely take action.
Thinking to this point, the anxious heart gradually calmed down as Yu Haoran continued to observe the scene in front of him.
Another thirty seconds pa.s.sed. Not only were the injuries on the bodies of the four level nine beasts more severe, but they were also running out of demonic energy and physical strength. It was impossible for them to kill the level ten beasts as easily as they had done in the beginning.
However, out of hundreds of Cla.s.s 10 beasts, less than half were left.
The third thirty seconds pa.s.sed. One of the four ninth level beasts, the spotted blue tiger, had its neck bitten off by a tenth level beast, ending its life.
With regards to the death of the beast of the ninth step, Yu Haoran was not too concerned about it.
This was because he discovered that the two people who had been hiding motionlessly at the top of the tree, along with the death of the blue tiger, had already begun to quietly take out their weapons, ready to strike at any time.
Just as the fourth round of Level 9 beasts was about to end, another Level 10 beast was besieged and killed by two Level 10 beasts.
At the same time, Qin Hua and Qin De who were already prepared suddenly jumped down from the top of the big tree, their target being the remaining two Level 9 beasts.
Although the level nine beasts were very strong, equivalent to the warriors of the human race, they were not only heavily injured, but they also consumed a lot of demonic energy, causing their vigilance to be greatly lowered after being attacked by hundreds of level ten beasts.
It was only until Qin Hua"s and Qin De"s weapons pierced into their bodies that the two Level 9 beasts managed to react.
However, it was already too late. The sharp swords with great poison not only pierced into their vital parts, but also severed their life force with the venom from their throats.
"Qin De, I will go block these beasts. Hurry and take the elixirs!" After killing the Level 9 Strange Beast, Qin Hua, who was a Level 8 Martial Disciple, ordered Qin Duo, who was also a Peak Level 7 Martial Disciple.
"Big Brother, don"t worry!" "Yes." Qin De answered without thinking. He turned around and went straight to the blood-red sapling.
Seeing that the spirit medicine he was fighting for was going to fall into the hands of the two humans, the tens of Level 10 beasts that were initially fighting each other, started to attack Qin Hua and Qin De with all their might, just like how they attacked the two Level 9 beasts earlier.
However, Qin Hua who had mastered profound martial skills was different from the four Level 9 beasts. He only needed to withstand the attacks of the beasts and buy Qin Wu"s time to gather the spirit medicines. He did not need to fight the beasts with his life on the line.
Thus, not only did he resist the attacks from the strange beasts, he was also not in much danger.
He took out a tool that was specifically used to collect spiritual medicines and carefully dug up the sapling. The root underneath the sapling was about the same color as the ginseng, but it was completely blood-red. Qin Du"s face revealed an uncontrollable joy.
He carefully separated the roots and the sapling, then put them into a box and a cloth bag respectively. Qin De turned his head and shouted towards Qin Hua: "Big Brother, since you have obtained the spirit medicine, quickly retreat!"
"Be careful!" Hearing that the spirit medicine had succeeded, Qin Hua was overjoyed. Using a group attack sword technique to repel a few Level 10 beasts, Qin Hua quickly retreated, and prepared to get close to Qin De.
However, just as he turned around and was about to approach Qin Duo, he discovered a young man covered in blood, whose face was covered with the fur of strange beasts.
To be able to appear in the depths of the primordial forest and disguise his appearance at this time, Qin Hua didn"t need to think too much about it. He knew that the target of this attack was definitely the spirit medicine in Qin"s hands, and so he loudly warned him.
However, his reminder was already too late.
Just as Qin Du was about to turn around and defend himself, a strange beast tooth filled with poison pierced into his neck. He didn"t even bother to look at who had ambushed him before his vision went black and he fell to the ground dead.
He reached for the box containing the herbs and ignored the bag containing the herbs and sapling. The human warrior, whose face was covered with the hair of a mutated beast, quickly ran towards the outside of the jungle.
"d.a.m.n it!"
Looking at the man trying to run away, Qin Hua almost went crazy from anger.
Although he wanted to give chase immediately, a few beasts surrounded him and blocked his path.
Without any other choice, he could only kill the strange beasts that were blocking the way and then chase after the thief that had stolen the spiritual medicine.
Of course, he had to kill the strange beasts first. Other than them blocking his path, he was also not worried about them escaping his grasp.
Because when his opponent had ambushed Qin Duo, his cultivation was only at the early stage of Martial Disciple. With his cultivation, it was impossible for him to leave the forest in a short period of time, and he suspected that the person who tried to s.n.a.t.c.h the treasure just now was Cheng Zhangyu"s person.
Because they had met not long ago, Cheng Zhangyu would definitely suspect that he had appeared deep in the Primordial Forest. Furthermore, beside Cheng Zhangyu, there seemed to be a person with a cultivation of only early stage Martial Disciple.
After escaping from the beasts" encirclement, a warrior with a face covered in beast hair turned around and looked at Qin Hua who was surrounded by the beasts.
Following which, all the elemental energy flowed into his legs and sped up his escape.
However, the direction he was fleeing towards was not the outside of the forest, but the turn he took to continue escaping deeper into the forest. This made Qin Hua even more certain of his guess.
After fleeing for a thousand meters, the warrior suddenly stopped. His face was covered with strange beast hair. He observed his surroundings and finally arrived in front of a hidden bush.
Soon after, he disappeared without a trace.
Then, a white jade tower the size of a grain appeared in the air and fell into the gra.s.s.
