Under Gute's reluctant gaze, Xiao Yi Xian and the others left that rundown place...
Gute watched their departing figures. He actually wanted to get more Companion Purple Crystal Source, but since this lord had not mentioned it, he did not dare bring it up.
Even if his brother was Gu He, he was not Gu He himself. Before such a powerful expert, avoiding a loss was already good enough. They had shown him plenty of respect.
Medicine Masters might seem glamorous, but in this world, strength ultimately reigned supreme. Without strength, one's lifespan was limited to those few years...
Xiao Yi Xian looked curiously at Little Spirit, who was clutching the beast core. "Little Spirit, what kind of beast core is that?"
Little Spirit looked at the worn beast core in her arms, a faint smile on her face. "It belonged to a senior of my clan. I believe it will be quite useful to me!"
Xiao Yi Xian nodded. Medicine Elder had said that beings of this race would not break through so easily, yet Little Spirit's breakthroughs had gone very smoothly during this time.
Could it be that some special condition was needed for later breakthroughs?
Otherwise, this race would be far too powerful. The entire world should probably be under their control.
Outside Black Rock City, a massive figure flew toward the Tagor Desert.
"Roar!"
Chi Han let out a furious roar toward the sky. Flying was something everyone longed for, and every time it flew, it could not resist roaring.
The surrounding white clouds were so close that a light touch almost seemed capable of passing through them with the softness of cotton.
The scenery below was especially beautiful as well. Countless forests looked like tiny dots, while the multicolored earth painted nature beneath them.
"Yay, yay, yay!"
Little Spirit was also extremely happy. The feeling of being high in the sky made her feel wonderfully at ease.
Liu Yan smiled faintly from the back, gazing at the red sun ahead as thick white clouds quietly drifted past.
The journey to the Tagor Desert would take just under three days. A huge white figure cut through the sky, its enormous white wings beating as countless clouds were scattered away.
Time seemed to pass amid the endless flight. As the sun set, specks of red light shone across the earth.
A massive figure suddenly descended beside a lake. Xiao Yi Xian held Little Spirit in her arms as the Purple Cloud Wings behind her spread open, allowing her to land gracefully on the ground.
Liu Yan followed soon after. It was time to eat and rest.
They could not simply go without food. Though they were already capable of fasting, life was meant to be enjoyed.
"Roar! Who gave you permission to trespass into this king's territory?!"
A thunderous voice rose from the bottom of the lake, and massive sound waves stirred up countless splashes.
A giant blue serpent emerged from the lake. Its enormous pupils stared fixedly at the people before it, before its gaze settled on Chi Han.
"That white flying snake, since you know this is this king's territory, why did you set foot here?!"
The blue serpent stared intently at Chi Han as overwhelming Dou Wang pressure instantly bore down on it.
Chi Han frowned slightly, releasing pressure belonging to a Dou Wang as well before letting out a wild roar at the Azure Serpent Python!
It naturally knew this was the Azure Serpent Python's territory, but the little ancestor had chosen this place. This was its chance to prove itself.
The Sword Box behind Xiao Yi Xian blocked the pressure of the two beasts, and Liu Yan behind her also let out a breath of relief.
A trace of fear flashed through his eyes as he looked at the Azure Serpent Python before them. An Azure Serpent Python, a Fifth-order demonic beast, an existence at the level of a tyrant.
Although he did not know how Miss had avoided the pressure of the two Dou Wangs, he knew that Miss's combat strength was only a little higher than his own.
Now, he could only place his hopes on Chi Han. During this time, Chi Han had broken through from Dou Wang one-star to Dou Wang three-star.
Breaking through three stars in less than a year was already extremely fast. It was also thanks to the pills he had refined. After all, the stronger Chi Han became, the safer he would be.
Miss was still in her growth phase, so he could only rely on it...
"Boom!"
Chi Han's massive wings spread wide as it swiftly flew into the air and took control of the skies.
The Azure Serpent Python looked at the Dou Wang three-star Chi Han, its eyes brimming with fighting spirit. It was a Dou Wang five-star, after all. Not only did it possess an absolute advantage, but as the ruler of this place, it also had quite a few advantages.
"Boom!"
The Azure Serpent Python's massive tail struck the lake, and waves like a raging storm instantly tore through the air.
Chi Han spread its wings and dodged the waves, while poison from its mouth condensed into a sphere and shot forth.
The Azure Serpent Python's pupils suddenly contracted when it saw the poison. It had not expected that white flying snake to be skilled in poison.
Massive waves rolled out one after another, tangling with the poison sphere before crashing down all around them.
Black rain fell across the area, and countless trees, flowers, and plants withered the instant they were touched.
Xiao Yi Xian opened her little mouth slightly and swallowed the rainwater falling over their heads.
"A little bitter!" Xiao Yi Xian muttered softly.
When the rain in the sky was scattered, Chi Han dove down at the Azure Serpent Python.
The two snakes instantly entwined, their immense binding force constricting each other's bodies as their sharp fangs bit into each other's flesh.
One blue and one white, the two giant snakes tore at each other. The clear lake water was instantly dyed red, while enormous waves surged up again and again.
Xiao Yi Xian covered Little Spirit's eyes. The battle before her was somewhat different from what she had imagined.
This was clearly a close-quarters brawl. The sight of two snakes biting each other was truly not suitable for children.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The two snakes churned up waves atop the lake. After an unknown amount of time had passed, silver moonlight shone upon them. Chi Han shook its body, bit off the Azure Serpent Python's beast core, and flew out.
In the end, Chi Han won this battle. Do not ask why; that was simply the difference between a venomous snake and a nonvenomous snake.
Chi Han's body was covered in wounds, and blood continued to flow from its enormous wings.
Xiao Yi Xian looked at Chi Han solemnly. "You worked hard. Eat the beast core and focus on recovering."
"Mm!"
Chi Han nodded and coiled up nearby to recover...
Xiao Yi Xian spread the Purple Cloud Wings behind her and flew toward the Azure Serpent Python. The giant blue body had now turned red, and the once beautiful lake had become blood-red as well.
The Sword Box behind Xiao Yi Xian trembled. She tightly gripped You Su in her hand, flying east and west until she found some nonpoisonous meat. She cut off several pieces and returned.
Soon, thick smoke rose above the treetops, and a sweet fragrance filled the surroundings...
The three of them ate with great enjoyment. The snake meat was fresh and springy, and the energy contained within it made all three of their faces flush.
After eating and drinking their fill, Xiao Yi Xian held Little Spirit and watched the stars shimmer in the night sky. As for Chi Han, since there was no cooked meal for it, it could only miserably eat raw meat while recovering from its injuries.
Xiao Yi Xian looked at the silver moon and countless stars, then said softly, "Moonlit Star Dance Thousand Illusions; the young man's road is far too long!"
