The Lion King Frightened Away

Another deafening roar followed.

The Three Flame Ethereal Seal transformed into a ball of fire that shot into the sky, enveloping the Amethyst Winged Lion King within it.

A dozen seconds later, the figure of the Amethyst Winged Lion King appeared in Xiao Ming's sight.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King was in a sorry state, completely unlike his imposing appearance when he first appeared.

Only half of the red spiral horn on its head remained, and the powerful Purple Flame around the horn were reduced to mere specks. Its forepaws, which were originally covered with a layer of Purple Crystal, were charred black, and the Purple Crystal had completely disappeared, obviously melted in the collision. Moreover, apart from the claws that came into contact with the Three Flame Ethereal Seal, the purple crystals on other parts of its body also appeared to have melted.

Seeing Aura somewhat weakened Amethyst Winged Lion King, a cold glint flashed in Xiao Ming's eyes. The Amethyst Winged Lion King had obviously suffered a serious injury due to its broken horn. Perhaps it was possible to keep it.

Not far away, Zi Yan smiled as she looked at the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

"Hehe, serves you right for chasing after me earlier, now you're in trouble!"

As she spoke, Zi Yan's two small fists emitted a strong, jade-like light, and under the illumination of this light, her small fists appeared somewhat transparent.

The small, jade-like fists tapped together, producing a remarkably clear, metallic sound. Instantly, a powerful jade-like light burst forth from their bodies.

Clearly, Zi Yan had no intention of stopping.

"You..." The Amethyst Winged Lion King sensed Zi Yan's movements and his expression changed instantly. He glanced at Xiao Ming, who was gathering his aura in front of him, and his mood became very solemn.

It had only been fighting for a short while, yet it had already sustained serious injuries, while its opponent was completely unharmed. If the fight continued at this rate, wouldn't it be doomed?

With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, the Amethyst Winged Lion King made up his mind in an instant.

It roared angrily, mustered its strength, and purple energy surged around it, as if it were ready to fight to the death.

Seeing that the Amethyst Winged Lion King seemed to be preparing to unleash a powerful attack, Xiao Ming and Zi Yan secretly became defensive, unleashing a series of Defensive Dou Technique.

"Bang!" A loud noise rang out in the sky, and the Amethyst Winged Lion King turned into a shadow and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

"Ah, this..." Xiao Ming was dumbfounded as he stared at the vanished Amethyst Winged Lion King.

He never expected that the Amethyst Winged Lion King, the king of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, would be so lacking in prestige, actually running away like that, and even bluffing for a while before leaving.

Is this really necessary? You have to understand, he and Zi Yan are merely Dou Wang.

With a sigh, Xiao Ming withdrew the spiritual energy he had just released back into his body.

Zi Yan flew to Xiao Ming's side and said, "Xiao Ming, that little lion is too timid. Should we chase after it? In its cave, besides the Purple Egg, I found other medicinal herbs. But because it found them too early, we only had time to take the Purple Egg and didn't take anything else."

"Since it escaped, let's just let it go." Xiao Ming shook his head and refused Zi Yan's suggestion. The Amethyst Winged Lion King was, after all, a Sixth Tier Magical Beast. Although it wasn't the top-tier among Sixth Tier beasts, and was even a bit of a middle-tier beast, it was still Sixth Tier.

If they really went to war, there was no guarantee that he and Zi Yan wouldn't be in danger.

As far as Xiao Ming knew, the Amethyst Winged Lion King possessed a powerful Sealing Technique, which it hadn't used in the previous battle. Apart from the Sealing Technique, no one knew if it had any other powerful Dou Skill.

So it's good that it can recede automatically now.

These past few days, they've found quite a few medicinal herbs in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, so there's no need to bother the Amethyst Winged Lion King anymore.

Although Zi Yan was very tempted by those medicinal herbs, Xiao Ming had already decided to let it go, so she didn't mention chasing after them again. Instead, she took out an Amethyst Stone that was more than a meter wide from her Na Ring. The Companion Amethyst Source on the platform, about the size of a head, shone with a purple light.

"Here, we agreed to split it in half. I'll keep it for you, and you can give me my half tonight."

Zi Yan has now gotten used to having Xiao Ming keep the medicinal herbs she obtains.

Although the Companion Amethyst Source is not a medicinal herb, Zi Yan knew she had a sweet tooth and was afraid she would eat it all, so she gave it to Xiao Ming to keep for safekeeping.

"Alright." Xiao Ming skillfully took the Amethyst Square Platform and placed it into his Na Ring before saying to Zi Yan, "We've been in the Magical Beast Mountain Range for almost half a month now; it's time to leave."

Zi Yan was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Okay, but remember to take me to find medicinal herbs again in the future."

"Okay, let's go back to the valley!"

By the time Xiao Ming and Zi Yan returned to the small valley, half an hour had passed.

Descending from the sky, Xiao Ming spotted a giant blue eagle standing in front of a small, makeshift Small Thatched Hut.

Upon spotting Xiao Ming, the giant eagle flapped its wings and soared into the air, circling continuously.

Knowing that this was Xiao Lan, the Magical Beast raised by Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Ming didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, after sensing an Aura inside the Small Thatched Hut, he and Zi Yan went inside together.

Upon entering the thatched hut, Xiao Ming frowned. He noticed smoke floating in the room, and this smoke contained a significant amount of toxins.

With his right palm extended, a fierce Vigor Qi erupted from Xiao Ming's palm, instantly expelling the smoke from the thatched hut.

As the smoke in the room gradually dissipated, Xiao Yi Xian was seen lying on the bed with her eyes tightly closed. Her originally rosy face was now flushed with an eerie seven-colored glow.

"What's wrong with this girl!" Zi Yan looked at the Xiao Yi Xian on the bed, somewhat puzzled.

"She should have activated her Woeful Poison Body by now," Xiao Ming said, glancing at the medicine bottle in Xiao Yi Xian's hand and the specks of Black Powder remaining on her luscious red lips.

"Will she be alright?" Zi Yan asked, blinking.

"She'll be alright, just wait a bit, she should be waking up soon."

Seeing Xiao Ming say that, Zi Yan just said "oh" without paying any attention. After all, she and Xiao Yi Xian weren't familiar with each other yet, so it was already good enough that she asked if everything was alright.

After a while, Xiao Yi Xian, who had been lying on the bed with her eyes closed, slowly opened them.

Her jade-like hand twitched slightly, and as she glanced at the dark poison out of the corner of her eye, Xiao Yi Xian's mood darkened.

"You're awake." Hearing the voice, Xiao Yi Xian's beautiful eyes widened considerably. She quickly looked towards the center of the room and saw Xiao Ming and Zi Yan. She was pleasantly surprised.

When did you get back?

"Just now," Xiao Ming replied.

"You activated the Woeful Poison Body yourself?"

"Yes, because I want to improve my strength as soon as possible so I can help you." Xiao Yi Xian clasped her hands nervously in front of her chest. "Did I do something wrong?"

Xiao Ming was surprised by Xiao Yi Xian's words. Although it was somewhat unexpected, he didn't think that Xiao Yi Xian had fallen for him, since they hadn't known each other for very long.

Xiao Ming guessed that Xiao Yi Xian said that because when he took her in, he said she had great potential for development.

Because she was accepted for her value, she wanted to demonstrate her own worth. This was perhaps a survival strategy that Xiao Yi Xian had learned from growing up as an orphan.

With a sigh, Xiao Ming replied, "You didn't do anything wrong."
