Disciple Died Yet Again (1-199)

Chapter 52: Treasure Protecting Demonic Beast

"You're saying there's a possibility for the Heavenpulse Lotus to be here." Wang Xuzhi's expression became a little tense as he swept his gaze through the big patch of See-Through Leaf Grass. The Heavenpulse Lotus which was capable of reconstructing meridians was only recorded in legends, and no one had actually seen it. However, since the air in this place was moist, and there were even so much See-Through Leaf Grass growing here, with every stalk looking spirited and lush, there might really be a pond with an exotic treasure growing right in front of them.

However, a place with an exotic treasure, other than a bunch of spiritual herbs accompanying it, there would be demonic beasts accompanying it as well. In other words, there might be at least a sixth-ranked demonic beast here, or maybe even an entire horde of them.

"Let us return first, and discuss with senior-martial brother Chen Yi whether we should investigate the place." Wang Xuzhi gathered and place the spiritual grass inside the container, his face no long carried the initial excitement, rather, it was a little tense.

Naturally, Zhu Yao would not object, the more people there were, the easier it was to get the job done. After all, sixth-ranked beasts were equal to late-stage Azoth human practitioners. The two of them, an early-stage Azoth practitioner and a mid-stage Azoth practitioner, when encountering a sixth-ranked demonic beast, even if they did not die, they would still suffer serious injuries. And, with their Spirit Veins, their meridians did not need to be reconstructed in the first place, so the Heavenpulse Lotus did not mean much to them.

However, before they even returned to the gathering point, they bumped into someone coming from right in front of them, and she was even Lu Cha, the girl little fatty Zhao was interested in. She was walking pretty hastily, and looked as though she was about to break into a jog. When she saw the two of them, she was startled as well. As though she was trying to hide something, she looked around for a moment, before nodding her head, as a way to greet them.

"Junior-martial sister Lu, what happened to you?" Wang Xuzhi casually asked.

Her expression instantly paled, and her smile looked a little forced. "No... Nothing, we just encountered a demonic beast, that's all. Senior-martial uncle Xiao has already dealt with it, and I'm currently planning to inform senior-martial brother Chen."

Zhu Yao became even more suspicious, and turned to look at the direction she came from. "You guys can't have possibly entered that place filled with a big patch of See-Through Leaf Grass, right!?"

Lu Cha's face turned even more pale, and revealed an expression as though her thoughts had been guessed correctly, yet, from afar, suddenly, an extremely loud roar sounded. The roar rang through the clouds, the three of them could not help but feel shaky for a moment, and even the ground began to tremble with them.

"It's the sound of a demonic beast." Wang Xuzhi stared towards Lu Cha with a reprimanding look, as every one of them had clearly realized what she was planning to do. Earlier, she was moving with Xiao Yi, the two of them had definitely seen that patch of See-Through Leaf Grass from the other side, and they had even entered it. However, they did not expect to startle the demonic beast accompaniment inside. Xiao Yi could not defeat it, hence, he had her come out to look for help.

But, just from hearing that roar earlier, that demonic beast was definitely not ordinary. As expected, not even a moment later, loud running footsteps could be heard, even the bird beasts in the trees dispersed and fled, as something was chasing over towards them.

"Senior-martial uncle Xiao?" Lu Cha anxiously looked at the direction of the sounds, as though she had just realized the severity of the situation.
