Chapter 1433 It’s A Deal
“I don’t think you should go in.”
Chen Dao continued: “Your strength is not good enough and you will encounter danger if you go in. Besides, we were just saying that we have picked more than enough spirit herbs these last few days and were thinking of finding a place to settle down and refine elixirs.”
“Senior Brother Chen, you all go ahead and refine elixirs. I will just go in for a quick look. Don’t worry about me, I will be fine, really.” Feng Jiu was about to say something else when suddenly, she heard a loud bang.
“Bang! Boom boom boom!”
“What is that noise?”
Everyone was taken aback, they quickly stood up and looked around. The noise had come from midair and for a while, they couldn’t make out where it was coming from.
When she felt the ground vibrate, Feng Jiu was taken aback for a moment, then said: “It could be a giant bear.”
“How do you know?” Luo Heng looked at her and asked.
“The sound of it landing on the ground is heavy and loud, plus there is a rhythm. Only a giant bear can make a sound like that. The ground is still vibrating slightly, so this bear must be huge and most probably above the Saint Beast level.
“Bang! Boom boom boom!”
“It’s coming from over there!” She pointed to the depths of the forest directly in front of her: “It’s getting closer. It’s a giant bear from the depths of the forest!” She drew in a breath and lifted herself up to a branch on a tree then started to look deep into the distance from high above.
Faintly visible, she saw a giant brown bear running over and it was frightful watching it gain speed.
“This is a peak level Saint Beast giant bear! Senior Brother Chen, quickly, take them away from here.” Feng Jiu shouted and pointed to the other side.
Upon hearing this, Chen Dao frowned and asked: “What about you? Are you not leaving? It’s not the time to fool around now, get down from there and leave with us.”
Feng Jiu looked down at Chen Dao who was standing under the tree and smiled: “Senior Brother Chen, thank you very much, but I have to stay behind. I will stay behind to lure the giant bear to the other side and stall for time. Only then will you all have enough time to escape.”
When he heard this, Chen Dao said: “It’s just a giant bear. I have medicine in my s.p.a.ce to deal with it. All I need is a pill to reduce the bear in size.”
Feng Jiu shook her head: “It’s useless dealing with such an enormous bear. Besides, this peak level Saint Beast giant bear is one stage away from becoming a Sacred Beast. Those medicines will have no effect on it at this stage. Just hurry up and leave.”
“Let’s go! If he wants to stay behind then let him stay behind. Let’s run for our lives now!” An alchemist said and went in the direction Feng Jiu pointed to.
“That’s right, let’s go! We don’t have a strong combative strength like you guys. If you’re not leaving, we will leave.” The rest of them ran away quickly. Only Luo Heng and the two female alchemists remained.
“Senior Brother Chen, let’s go!”
Luo Heng said. After glancing at Feng Jiu, he turned and left. As for the two female alchemists, although they were quite surprised that Feng Jiu was standing in the tree and refused to leave, they didn’t say anything and left with everyone else.
“Be careful.”
Chen Dao looked at Feng Jiu and urged once again: “If you encounter danger once you get in there, avoid it if you can. The people from the south will be sent out once the time comes. If you can’t make it out once you are in the depths of the forest, all you have to do is find a place to hide and stay alive.”
Upon hearing those words, Feng Jiu’s eyes moved slightly and her eyes narrowed with a smile: “Yes, I understand Senior Brother Chen. Hurry up and leave! We will meet back in the Sect and I will catch another Spirit Bamboo Rat and bring some wine to enjoy with you.”
“It’s a deal.” He smiled, then turned and left.
