Chapter 279: Nine Profound Ganoderma Lucidum
The horn on the forehead of the Horned Tiger emitted a silver light. Clearly, this Horned Tiger was angry as well and it used all of its strength in this strike. Ye Xiao"s expression turned serious. Even a Peak Martial King Realm martial artist wouldn"t dare to fight against a fully powered Horned Tiger, let alone him whose cultivation was suppressed to the Seventh Stage of the Origin Core Realm.
"Senior, get out of the way. Let me do it."
While Ye Xiao was thinking about how to deal with the Horned Tiger, the teenager who was watching on the side suddenly spoke. Then Ye Xiao saw a black dagger appear in his hand. It was engraved with a mysterious pattern. The surface of the dagger was covered with extremely dense energy waves.
"High-Grade Spirit Rank Weapon?"
Ye Xiao was shocked. He stared at the black dagger with shock in his eyes. In a third-grade country, a High-Grade Spirit Rank Weapon is treated as one"s most treasured weapon. But here, this kind of weapon was given to fifteen year"s old kid.
"This guy"s background should not be ordinary at all!"
Just as Ye Xiao was astonished, the youth waved his hand and the black dagger pierced through the air with a piercing sound, directly into the Horned Tiger"s head.
With that youth"s strength at the Seventh Stage of the Origin Core Realm, it was just a dream to kill a Fourth Grade Horned Tiger but still, with a High-Grade Spirit Weapon, his strength was enough to inflict a heavy injury to the Horned Tiger.
The charging figure of the Horned Tiger suddenly froze as blood gushed out from its forehead like a fountain.
"Roar!"
The Horned Tiger roared loudly in pain. Its eyes turned red as it looked at the young man. Ignoring the wound on its forehead, the Horned Tiger"s pounced toward the young man with its mouth wide open.
"s.h.i.t, am I going to die?"
That young man did not have time to dodge. He helplessly looked at the coming Horned Tiger but at this moment, a light flashed and the Horned Tiger was sent flying.
It was Ye Xiao. At the critical moment, he attacked with his Sea Dragon Spear.
The young man first looked at Ye Xiao and then the Horned Tiger. Seeing that the Horned Tiger was not moving in the slightest, the young man asked, "Is it dead?"
Ye Xiao nodded his head and said, "It is dead!"
The young man once again looked at the dead Horned Tiger and then Ye Xiao. He could not understand how Ye Xiao killed it.
Actually, when the Horned Tiger pounced toward the young man, Ye Xiao used his soul ability called "Soul Shock" and injured the soul of the Horned Tiger.
Because of the sudden attack on the soul, the Horned Tiger could not react in time when Ye Xiao once again attacked it with his Sea Dragon Spear and then used the "Soul Destruction" to destroy the injured soul of the Horned Tiger.
If he did not injure its soul before, he would not be able to use the "Soul Destruction" to destroy its soul.
"Senior, I am sorry, we didn"t mean to drag you in." At this time, the girl walked over and said apologetically.
"Forget it, It didn"t do me any harm anyway." Ye Xiao waved his hand and then looked seriously at the girl in front of him.
Although the young girl in front of him was not as beautiful as Zhao Yufei, her facial features were dignified and delicate, and her skin was smooth and smooth.
"Senior, have you fallen for Ru Lan?" The teenager at the side said shamelessly to Ye Xiao.
"Cough! Cough!" Ye Xiao coughed awkwardly. Ru Lan also glared at the youth called Feng Yu.
The young man seemed to be very afraid of Ru Lan. He shrunk back his neck and let out a hollow laugh.
"Senior, you"re really amazing! You actually managed to kill a Horned Tiger with your cultivation at the Seventh Stage of the Origin Core Realm. What is your name?"
"My name is Ye Xiao." Ye Xiao smiled and then asked, "This is the inner part of the forest. With you two"s current cultivation, you should not be here. What are you doing here?"
"Aren"t your cultivation is the same as us?" The boy called Feng Yu muttered in low voice before smiling at Ye Xiao and replied, "We are the disciples of the Red Sun Sect. We have accepted a mission and that"s why we are here!"
"What kind of mission?" Ye Xiao once again asked.
"Our mission is to search for a Nine Profound Ganoderma Lucidum." This time, it was Ru Lan who answered Ye Xiao.
"Nine Profound Ganoderma Lucidum?" Ye Xiao frowned slightly, then said: "I know where the Nine Profound Ganoderma Lucidum are."
"Brother Ye Xiao, you are telling the truth, right?" Feng Yu rushed in front of Ye Xiao, grabbed his arm, and asked anxiously.
Ye Xiao nodded. Of course he knew. When he spread his Divine Sense to search for the Flame Serpents" Valley, at the bottom of the valley, he saw many Nine Profound Ganoderma Lucidum.
"Brother Ye Xiao, do you really know where Nine Profound Ganoderma Lucidum are?"
Ru Lan"s pretty face was also full of joy as she stared at Ye Xiao. How could she not be happy? The two of them had been searching the Nine Profound Ganoderma Lucidum in the Black Wind Forest for five whole days, and they did not even see the shadow of this medicinal herb.
She never thought that Ye Xiao, whom she met along the way, would actually know about the news of the Nine Profound Ganoderma Lucidum, so she was naturally very happy.
"Yeah, I know where the Nine Profound Ganoderma Lucidum are. It"s just that that place is a bit dangerous. With the strength of the three of us, even if we go there, I"m afraid there"s no way we can bring the Nine Profound Ganoderma Lucidum back."
Ye Xiao nodded and said with a frown. That Fifth Grade Magical Beast there was not someone he could fight with his current strength.
Ye Xiao once again said, "The place where Nine Profound Ganoderma Lucidum is, is being guarded by a Fifth Grade Magical Beast, Double-Headed Flame Python."
"Double-Headed Flame Python, Fifth Grade Magical Beast?" Feng Yu frowned slightly, then continued: "Could it be that it wants to eat those Nine Profound Ganoderma Lucidum and evolve to the Sixth Grade?"
Ye Xiao nodded and said, "Maybe, yes!"
The Double-Headed Flame Python was a fire attribute Demonic Beast. Born in the land of lava, its entire body was incomparably hot, and its mouth could spit out scorching flames. Furthermore, Nine Profound Ganoderma Lucidum were similarly extremely positive medicinal herbs, so they were extremely attractive to fire attributed Magical Beast.
"Brother Ye Xiao, please bring us to the Nine Profound Ganoderma Lucidum." Ru Lan, who was at the side, looked at Ye Xiao with determination in her eyes as she said to bring them to the place where Nine Profound Ganoderma Lucidum is.
Ye Xiao looked at this delicate girl in surprise. He thought that the two of them would give up after he said so much. He didn"t expect Ru Lan to insist on going.
"This won"t do. With the strength of the three of us, we are basically unable to deal with the Fifth Grade Magical Beast Double-Headed Flame Python. Going over would merely be seeking death." Ye Xiao shook his head. If he had the confidence to deal with the Double-Headed Flame Python, he would bring them there even without the two of them saying so. But the problem was, he does not have the confidence to deal with the Double-Headed Flame Python with his current strength.
He has to go there anyway. If he went there alone, he still has many ways to escape from the Double-Headed Flame Python but if he were to bring these two kids with him, he can not guarantee their safety.
"Brother Ye Xiao, don"t worry, I have a way to deal with that Double-Headed Flame Python." Ru Lan looked at Ye Xiao and said.
"Hmm?" Ye Xiao slightly frowned and carefully sized up Ru Lan. Under the probing of his Divine Sense, he saw that Ru Lan was indeed just a cultivator at the Seventh Stage of the Origin Core Realm. For a Seventh Stage Origin Core Realm martial artist to deal with a Fifth Grade Magical Beast Double-Headed Flame Python, it would be simply a fantasy.
"Fine, I"ll bring you guys over, but when I find that something is wrong, you two have to leave immediately." Ye Xiao looked at Ru Lan"s determined eyes and finally agreed with a sigh.
"That"s great. Thank you, Brother Ye Xiao." Ru Lan"s face was full of smiles as she thanked Ye Xiao.
"Pfft, you pervert."
Feng Yu looked at Ye Xiao and muttered.
