"Yu … Yao." Yu Yan swept away a field of demonic beasts, and immediately flew down. He glanced at Captain Huang, who was no longer in critical condition. "Get out."
Zhu Yao nodded, and picked up Nangong Huang who was on the ground. "Let's go!"
"Wait!" Nangong Cheng reached out his hand and grabbed something from the ground. Only then did Zhu Yao carry him, and together with Yu Yan, they flew towards the place where the lightning bolt had struck a hole.
Only after flying up did he realize how many Demonic Beasts there were in the surroundings. There were at least a thousand of them. No wonder they hadn't seen a single magical beast in the forest for a long time. They had all come here.
Yu Yan summoned a lightning dragon, and Zhu Yao did not remain idle either. She immediately summoned her own Life Origin Sword, 'Patch'. With a light swing, she immediately released her Sword Intent. A phoenix formed from red lightning bolts, together with her master's lightning dragon, instantly swept out a small path in front of her.
The scattered demonic beasts in the surroundings began to reform once more.
"Charge out!" Yu Yan grabbed onto the person in his disciple's hands, and flew towards the path he had swept open, sweeping away the remaining demonic beasts along the way. Just as Zhu Yao was about to catch up, she suddenly stopped for a moment. Lowering her head to look at the figure standing at the center of the formation, she could not help but call out. "Hurry."
The figure below was stunned for a moment. Then, the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a smile that was like a spring breeze caressing his face. It was as if he had found a new lease of life.
Zhu Yao's heart sank, and for some reason, she felt a little frustrated, as she immediately followed after him. The figure on the ground flashed and followed behind her. It was still a distance that was neither close nor far, but compared to the deathly aura from before, there seemed to be a trace of life in it.
They flew all the way back to the forest where they had gotten lost, and only stopped when they could no longer hear the sound of any magical beasts.
Yu Yan found a hidden valley for Nangong Cheng to recuperate. Though his injuries were very heavy, because Zhu Yao had sealed his meridians and protected his Dantian in time, his foundations were not harmed. On top of that, he was a Demon Immortal to begin with and had a strong physique. His recovery rate was much faster than that of an Immortal Cultivator. After resting for a few hours, the wounds on his body had already begun to heal. However, it would take some time for the arm to regenerate.
The level above his head also dropped by a level. It was originally level 3, but now it was level 2. Just like his good gay friend, Zhonggu Lu.
"Sister Dongfang, thank you so much. I … I … "
"Don't mention it. Call me Lei Feng! Oh right, where's Little Teal? "Only then did Zhu Yao recall." Did you two separate? Why are you alone? "
"Nope. It's here! "Nangong Cheng reached out and picked up a bloody thing that had been placed beside him.
Zhu Yao seriously looked at his hands. That thing in his hands was a withered yellow object that looked like grass roots. "Is this … rice straw?" And it had even been harvested.
"I'm a flower immortal!" The withered grass in his hand suddenly jumped up, and the four withered branches swayed left and right. "You actually put me in the same category as those ugly straws. How could they have my peerless beauty and elegance?"
This voice was …
"Little Teal!?" Zhu Yao was shocked. She casually cast a Dirt Removal Art on it, and only then did it reveal its dull appearance. It was like a yellow branch that had not been watered for hundreds of years. There was indeed a flower at the center, but the four petals were twisted together, as if they were going to wither at any moment. "You're a Flower Immortal? There aren't many spiritual monsters that can cultivate into High Deities. You're pretty amazing. "The cultivation level of spiritual monsters had never been high, and this was the first time she had seen one that could cultivate into a High Deity and enter the Lightning Divine Tower.
"At … At least you have some … foresight." It waved its dried leaves and twisted them. "But even if you praise me like that, I … I'm not really happy."
(¬ _ ¬)
It was clearly very happy!
"Why did you return to your original form?" Zhu Yao looked at the two of them. "Didn't you two form a party with Mei Xue? Why are you two the only ones left? Where are they? "
Zhonggu Lu had just waved his leaves, and they immediately fell back down. Nangong Cheng's face was also filled with anger. He gritted his teeth so hard that they creaked.
"Don't mention it. I was blind as well. I mistakenly trusted those shameless scums. " Nangong Cheng angrily recounted the matter of him separating from them. "Initially, we had agreed to come to the north to search for demonic beasts with Nascent Divided Pearls. However, that Mei Xue or whatever, insisted on coming to the depths of this forest. She said that she obtained a new ancient secret formation. As long as she lured all the demonic beasts into the formation, she wouldn't even need to make a move. She would be able to obtain the Nascent Divided Pearls. However, who would have thought that the formation she mentioned was actually an Extermination Formation. "
"This daddy here has never seen such a stupid person in my entire life." Zhonggu Lu interrupted. "That Extermination Formation exterminates all living beings. However, demonic beasts can't be considered living beings in the first place. They are undying and have no souls. The moment she activated the Extermination Formation, all other living beings died, leaving only demonic beasts. How is this looking for Nascent Divided Pearls? She's clearly looking for a beating! "
Uh … She really didn't know that Mary Sue's brain worked so weirdly.
"Haah … Initially, we had the chance to escape." Nangong Cheng continued. "Back then, the moment the Extermination Formation was activated, I sensed that something was amiss. I told everyone to hurry and retreat. However, that girl called Mei Xue insisted that the formation was effective, and refused to leave no matter what. As for her team members, they were all blind. When she said that, they actually believed her. They had to wait for the demonic beasts to catch up before they believed that it was an Extermination Formation. "
"Then why were you guys there?" When she first discovered them, there weren't any auras of other formations in the surroundings, and the surroundings didn't look like a formation that could exterminate living beings had been activated either. This proved that they had already escaped.
"Haah …" Nangong Cheng's expression turned even uglier. "We risked our lives to carve out a path of blood. Initially, it wasn't impossible for the eight of us to gather our strength. Who knew that Female Deity Mei was a good-looking but useless person. Putting aside the fact that she was crying the entire time, the others even had to split their attention to protect her. She was almost devoured by demonic beasts a few times, yet those five people acted as though they had taken the wrong medicine and went to protect her alone. In the end, only Brother Zhonggu and I were left there to kill the enemies. " The more he spoke, the angrier he got. He even seemed to be gritting his teeth a little. "I just casually said a few words, and she actually took a deep breath. She insisted on committing suicide, saying that she didn't want to implicate us. The hell, what kind of situation was that? She actually wanted to commit suicide. If she wanted to commit suicide, so be it. Wouldn't it be fine if she just crawled into the beast's mouth? She even went crazy and wanted to commit suicide by snatching my weapon. "
"Uh …" This was an Oscar, young man. "What happened after that?"
"After that …" His expression darkened, and he gritted his teeth. "After that, the other five Fellow Immortals also went crazy. They actually wanted to fight me to the death because of her. They said something about a duel! F * ck, what kind of situation was this? They actually wanted to duel me! If not for the fact that she was a female, I really wanted to bite her to death. "
It seemed like the internal conflict was very deep. "Then … how did you guys get out?"
Nangong Cheng took a few deep breaths, and then said slowly, "It was Brother Zhonggu. He used all the Immortal Qi in his body and used the Shattering Technique to detonate it. With great difficulty, he blasted an opening. Only then did we get out of that Extermination Array. When we reached that dense forest, my hand was also broken in the same way. After we got out, we split up. After that, my injuries were too severe, and I couldn't fly anymore. That was why I fell into that dense forest and was chased by the demonic beasts. "
No wonder Little Qing turned back into her original form.
"If not for you, Dongfang Mei, appearing in time, even if I wasn't eaten by those demonic beasts, my dantian would have been shattered and my cultivation destroyed." He said gratefully. "Thank you, Dongfang Mei."
"It was just on the way." Zhu Yao patted on his shoulder, and said with a heroic look. "You don't have to be so courteous with me, Squad Captain Nangong Huang."
"…" He's called Nangong Cheng!
"Your dantian is already fine, but your meridians still have to be healed slowly. Though, Little Qing … "She lowered her head to look at the withered grass at the side. Using her divine sense to inspect it, she realized that there really wasn't a single strand of divine energy in his body. How could a plant's injuries be healed? Could it be …
"Hey, what's with that expression of yours, as though you want to fertilize me?" Zhonggu Lu instantly stood up. His two leaves slanted forward, forming a huge cross.
"Little Qing, don't be so sensitive! I'm not thinking of fertilizing you. "
"That's not all …"
"I just want to water you."
"…"
— — — —
Student Zhonggu Lu firmly rejected all unreasonable breeding practices, and firmly rejected Zhu Yao's kind act of watering and fertilizing him. Zhu Yao expressed her sadness. She was the best at growing flowers. In the modern era, the flowers and plants she grew were all more beautiful than the previous one. Her skills were definitely at the professional level. She did not expect that she would be despised.
Left with no choice, she could only dig a hole and plant it. And in order to make it convenient for her to move around, she even specially used an earth-type mystic art to make a flower pot for her, so that she could carry it away at any time. Mn, she was a little excited to see just what kind of plant Little Qing was!
Student Little Qing fell into a deep sleep the moment she entered the flower pot. Squad Captain Nangong's injuries still required rest as well. Zhu Yao had no choice but to temporarily postpone her leveling plan. She would spend a night in this valley, and head to the divine city tomorrow to level up.
Turning around, she glanced at the two who were in a meditative state and unconscious state. Zhu Yao could not help but sigh. "I guess I'm unlucky." Mary Sue sure was scary. She did not even do anything, and she had already caused them to end up like this. She pulled her master over and reminded him once again. "Cherish your life, and stay away from Mary Sue."
"Yu … Yao." Yu Yan glanced at the two of them and frowned. "I'm afraid this matter isn't that simple."
"Ah?" Zhu Yao was startled for a moment.
"According to what I know, though the Extermination Formation is powerful, it doesn't have the ability to attract demonic beasts."
"What do you mean?"
"Have you ever thought about why those demonic beasts are still relentlessly chasing after the two of them when they have already left the formation?" He said with a calm look. "Or should I say, facing them alone?"
"…" Zhu Yao's heart sank, as she fiercely widened her eyes. "Master, you're saying …"
He nodded. "Most likely, the Nascent Divided Pearls within the Extermination Formation have been picked clean."
