Holy Beasts were superior Grade-9 Dire Beasts. They were a species between Dire Beasts and Divine Beasts. They were much stronger than Dire Beasts, but they were far from comparable to the legendary Divine Beasts.
Just like Dire Beasts, Holy Beasts were also divided into nine grades. There was a huge difference in strength between each grade. Grade-9 Dire Beasts would become Grade-1 Holy Beasts when they advanced.
The difference in strength between Grade-9 Dire Beasts and Grade-1 Holy Beasts was like heaven and earth. It was a qualitative change. A Grade-1 Holy Beast could easily defeat dozens of Grade-9 Dire Beasts.
This difference in strength was much more obvious than the difference in strength between a human Heavenly Dragon Realm expert and a Divine Dragon Realm expert. In other words, a human Divine Dragon Realm expert might not be a match for a Grade-1 Holy Beast, unless it was a particularly monstrous Divine Dragon Realm expert.
"No?" Hearing the Fengsha Sword's reply, Xiao Chen frowned. He felt that something was amiss.
Something was amiss!
Suddenly, a strange thought appeared in Xiao Chen's mind. His expression turned strange as he said, "Could it be that the Cockscomb Serpent Emperor is playing an empty fort stratagem with us? If that bastard really has such intelligence, then he's too cunning and too difficult to deal with. "
"Empty fort stratagem? What's that? "The Lion King did not really understand.
"Second Brother, you can't be that stupid, right?" The Fiend Incineration Sword started to attack the Lion King again, like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
"The empty fort stratagem that Big Brother is talking about is that the Cockscomb Serpent Emperor has summoned all the high-level Dire Beasts guarding the spiritual herbs and hid them in a secret place that we do not know yet. It created a space without any high-level Dire Beasts to make us suspicious and uneasy. It wants to scare us away and prevent us from stepping into the core of the central region."
"Xiao Sha, who are you calling stupid?" Sure enough, the Lion King was not convinced after being mocked by the Fengsha Sword. He retorted, "I am testing your intelligence on purpose. Do you believe that I will beat you up?"
"Ah? Second Brother, I was wrong. Can you be magnanimous and forgive me this time? " The Fengsha Sword was rather clever. Seeing the Lion King's malicious gaze, it immediately lowered its voice and apologized. After all, it was not shameful to show weakness to its second brother. Wrong, it was not shameful to lose its sword, right?
"You're smart. I'll forget about it this time, but next time … hmph!" The Lion King was not really angry. Seeing that Fengsha Sword had apologized, he gave Fengsha Sword a way out of this embarrassing situation.
"Yes, yes! Second Brother is mighty! "
The Fengsha Sword flattered the Lion King beautifully, not afraid of slapping the Lion King to death.
"Eh …"
Seeing that his two brothers were still in the mood to bicker at this time, Xiao Chen was a little speechless, so he said, "Da Huang, Xiao Sha, don't get carried away. Pay attention to your vigilance and defense. You have to learn from Little Jin on this point, understand?"
"Yes, Big Brother! Hahaha! "
The Lion King and the Fengsha Sword promised at the same time through telepathy. Then, they laughed in an unserious manner. These two were really funny. Sometimes, they were so mischievous that even Xiao Chen could not do anything about them.
"Stop laughing! Keep going! " Xiao Chen showed his authority as a big brother and gave a serious order to the Burning Demon Sword and the Lion King. He paused for a moment and added with a serious expression,
After a pause, he added seriously, "If you find some good spiritual herbs later, pick them for me. It's a waste to leave them here. It's better to let us take them back and give them to Brother Xue and Sister Ouyang to refine into various kinds of Divine Elixirs. Everyone can use them together. Don't you think it makes sense?"
"Big Brother is mighty!"
The Lion King and the Fengsha Sword were excited. The Lion King's excitement was understandable. The Fengsha Sword was not a living creature. Elixirs were of no use to him. Why was he so excited? Could it be that he also liked the high-end hobby of 'taking advantage'?
"Don't be too happy. It's still the same thing. Safety first, spiritual herbs second." Xiao Chen warned sternly. "Don't let the Cockscomb Serpent Emperor take advantage of us for some spiritual herbs. We have to plunder the spiritual herbs and at the same time, guard against the sneak attacks of the Cockscomb Serpent Emperor and other high level dire beasts. We have to turn their territory into an empty city."
"Understood, Big Brother."
The Lion King and the Fengsha Sword did not joke around this time. They were prepared to go all out.
Xiao Chen and the rest believed that the Paradise on Earth was an empty city stratagem set up by the Cockscomb Serpent Emperor. Whether it was an empty city stratagem or not, no one could say for sure. They had to capture the Cockscomb Serpent Emperor and interrogate it.
Two hours later, Xiao Chen and the rest had smoothly traveled 200 miles into the Paradise on Earth. They had harvested hundreds of spiritual herbs, including two low-grade Dragon Heart Grass.
"Dragon Heart Grass …" Holding the two familiar dragon-shaped Dragon Heart Grass in his hands, Xiao Chen sighed in his heart.
A year ago, for the sake of a single Dragon Heart Grass, Xiao Chen was willing to become enemies with the Sha family. He had fought a bloody battle with the entire Killing God Tribe, and in the end, he had even sacrificed the life of the Lion King. He had paid an incomparably heavy price. Now, in the Paradise on Earth in the center of the vast wilderness, he had casually harvested two of them.
The world was unpredictable!
As time passed and his strength grew, Xiao Chen could now easily obtain things that were originally difficult to obtain in the past. In the past, he had battled with small characters like Yue Fu Sheng. Now, Xiao Chen's opponents were peerless experts of the continent.
Looking back, Xiao Chen realized that the things he had been pursuing and the things he had done in the past were so short-sighted, even a little childish. However, his heart was not wrong, and that was to pursue what he wanted and protect the people he wanted to protect.
Everyone was born childish and immature. As time passed and they experienced more things, they would naturally grow and mature. This was the case for mortals, and it was the same for warriors.
In the short span of less than two years, Xiao Chen had experienced countless matters and battles that ordinary cultivators could not experience in their entire lives. He had matured at a speed that was tens of times that of ordinary cultivators, and the world he had come into contact with was incomparably wide and high level.
Sorting out his complicated emotions, Xiao Chen placed the two stalks of Dragon Heart Grass in his hands into his Storage Ring. He had already used up all the antidote pills that could detoxify the Pi Xiu poison. Although Xue Wuhen still had three, in order to prepare for emergencies, he had to hoard several stalks of Dragon Heart Grass.
Xiao Chen still had hope in his heart to save his grandfather, Xiao Batian. If the Pi Xiu poison in Xiao Batian had not been detoxified, then the Dragon Heart Grass he had would be of use.
Three years. Xiao Batian had once told Xiao Chen that he could suppress the Pi Xiu poison for three years. It had been less than two years since the first day he was poisoned, which meant that there was still a chance.
However, when Xiao Haoran's scouts saw that Xiao Batian had been captured by the Blood Hangman, there seemed to be signs of poisoning. This bad news was like a poisonous thorn that deeply pierced into Xiao Chen's heart, making Xiao Chen's heart ache incomparably.
If Xiao Batian's Pi Xiu poison had really broken out, and the Black Magic Pavilion did not help Xiao Batian detoxify and heal him, then perhaps Xiao Batian was now in dire straits.
