Chapter 177: Starlight Flower
After the Horned Eagle escaped, Ye Xiao continued to move forward. Not long after, he arrived at a place where there were many mountains.
The surrounding mountains had many bizarre stones as well as huge trees. There were many plants that didn"t exist in the outer world.
"Starlight Flower"
Ye Xiao suddenly saw a precious medicinal herb located on a cliff not far from him. That herb was around a foot long, and there were many blue-coloured flowers that grew out of it.
Those flowers were extremely small and covered the plant. They looked like stars covering a sky. They emitted a faint scent.
The Starlight Flower was an extremely precious fifth tier medicinal herb, a rare main ingredient for some fifth grade medicinal pills.
Ye Xiao noticed that there were actually dozens of them growing out of the cliff which delighting him to the extreme. The secret realm really was filled with treasures.
Even if he didn"t need this kind of medicinal ingredient, he could still sell it or exchange it with other medicinal herbs.
Ye Xiao quickly flew up that cliff.
After arriving in front of one of the Starlight Flowers, just as he extended his hand to touch it, he suddenly felt danger and jumped back quick as lightning.
A ray of light shot right past Ye Xiao"s hand.
Ye Xiao hurriedly looked at the ray of light and saw that it was a little white rabbit. What was surprising was that this rabbit has two large teeth coming out of its mouth while its eyes were blood red.
Its body was also covered in many blue spots that looked similar to the Starlight Flower.
Hiding in the middle of hundreds of Starlight Flowers, it was almost impossible to see it.
Ye Xiao did not know what this rabbit was but he knew that it definitely was not an ordinary beast.
"Swish! Swish!"
Suddenly, the rabbit"s eyes flashed and two rays of red light shot toward Ye Xiao.
"s.h.i.t!"
Ye Xiao hastily dodged the rabbit"s attack.
"Ssss!"
Unable to touch Ye Xiao, the two beams of light collided with the ground but what shocked Ye Xiao the most was after the two beam of light collided with the ground, no explosion rang out.
What he saw was something even more shocking.
He saw that the place where the two beams of light collided started to corrode rapidly.
"Poison!"
Ye Xiao understood that those two rays of light were actually poisonous.
This world was filled with inconceivable existences. This tiny rabbit was actually incredibly venomous.
Ye Xiao"s expression changed greatly. Because of his carelessness just now, he had almost died.
That couldn"t be blamed on Ye Xiao. The Starlight Flower had already gone extinct in the outside world. The fact that he saw so many Starlight Flowers here made Ye Xiao feel excited and because of his excitement, he let his guard down.
But now, Ye Xiao once again raised his guard as he looked at the poisonous rabbit.
Within the secret realm, anything could happen. A small carelessness could lead to death.
Ye Xiao did not want to waste his time here. He carefully sensed and saw that this rabbit was only a fourth grade magical beast.
Even though it was poisonous, Ye Xiao did not fear it.
"Heavenly Lightning"
With a flick of his finger, a strand of lightning instantly shot toward the rabbit. Its speed was so fast that the rabbit could not dodge on time and was immediately pierced by the strand of lightning, directly dying because of the extremely destructive force.
It was the first time when Ye Xiao used the Heavenly Lightning after refining it. Its effect made him nod his head in satisfaction.
After killing the rabbit, Ye Xiao used a stick to lightly prod the Starlight Flower several times while also using his Divine Sense to sense any changes. After confirming there were no more rabbits present, he carefully excavated the Starlight Flowers, leaving a bit of earth on its roots.
In a very short amount of time, Ye Xiao carefully harvested more than fifty stalks of the Starlight Flower.
During this process, he also sensed some other rabbits attacking him. He also took care of them in his way of excavating the Starlight Flower.
Those rabbits had not all been just hiding within the Starlight Flowers. Some of them had been hiding in the surrounding gra.s.s or cracks in the stones. They were extremely sly and clever.
And exactly this slyness and cleverness made Ye Xiao"s guard go up even higher. He no longer dared be the slightest bit careless. However, high risk came with high reward.
He had only just entered the secret realm and was currently just in its outer areas, and had already gathered more than fifty Starlight Flowers.
Such treasures had already appeared. Once he went deeper, there would definitely be some other good opportunities waiting for him.
After the thing here was done, Ye Xiao started to move again.
Two days later, he suddenly heard a whistling of the wind. A rapid buzzing sound could be heard from his back all of a sudden.
Ye Xiao immediately turned around and was stunned after a glimpse.
In his sights was an insect as big as a skull, covered in a thick layer of white armor, staring at him with a pair of reddened eyes which was approaching Ye Xiao at a fast speed while flapping its eight pairs of silver-coloured wings while revealing its sharp fangs with a murderous aura.
"Eight Wings White-Armoured Insect?"
Ye Xiao was startled when he saw this insect. He immediately recognised this insect as he had seen it in the memories of the Formation G.o.d.
It is said that the Eight Wings White Armoured Insect"s skull can be used to lay down a great formation.
This Eight Wings White-Armoured Insect before him was quite a well-known beast.
It has a body thoroughly covered in a layer of white armour because of which, it is very difficult to harm it physically.
