Resembling both a lion and an ox, its six legs are particularly striking.
It was completely different from what he had imagined!
He had initially thought it was some kind of wolf-like monster when he heard its howling.
"Holy crap! What is this thing? Is it a hybrid?"
Jiang Fan couldn't help but mutter something under his breath.
But the Half-Divine Beast heard it all clearly.
"You human brat, I'm going to devour you!"
Before he could finish speaking, the beast had already charged towards Jiang Fan.
not good!
Jiang Fan lay on the ground, completely unable to move.
He was about to die in the jaws of beasts, just like in his previous life.
He didn't care about anything else and hurriedly asked Lan Mingxi for help.
" Old Master Lan, no! Grandpa! Grandpa!! Grandpa!!! Help! I'm your precious granddaughter's husband! If you don't save me, she'll be a widow!"
"Snort!"
Lan Mingxi snorted coldly, darted to Jiang Fan's side, grabbed him, and carried him on her shoulder as before before, and ran away.
While running, he couldn't help but joke, "Not denying it now?"
Jiang Fan wanted to retort, but remembering how Lan Mingxi had ruthlessly thrown him out earlier, he decided it was best to keep his mouth shut.
Besides, now is not the time for empty talk; the Half-Divine Beast behind us is about to catch up.
" Old Master Lan! Hurry! That beast is about to catch up! Quickly, quickly!"
"Damn it, do you think I don't know I need to hurry? The problem is, didn't you see I'm injured?" Lan Mingxi said irritably.
"Halt! You all will obediently accept your fate, or I'll leave you all as nothing but skeletons!"
The Half-Divine Beast originally intended to leave them with their complete corpses, but considering that not eating meat when there is meat is not the mark of a good demon beast, it decided to leave them with only skeletons after much thought.
Actually, bones are quite delicious too; they're crunchy and fragrant when you chew them.
So the Half-Divine Beast regretted it a little; it had spoken too quickly.
Unable to find its beloved owner or Jiang Fan, the Little Turtle returned to the folded space where Peach Fruit Old Man was located.
As soon as the Little Turtle returned, Peach Fruit Old Man Elder couldn't wait to ask.
"Where is Master? Why did you come back by yourself? Did Master not want to come to see me with you?"
The Little Turtle didn't know how to explain it at first, so it could only tell the story slowly.
"Didn't we sense the Little Bird's presence a few days ago? I followed the scent, but instead of finding the kid, I sensed the owner's presence. Brother Peach, you must have sensed it too, right?"
"That's right, the master's aura is very strong, but it doesn't seem like the master's aura now," Peach Fruit Old Man said, somewhat puzzled.
"What do you mean by 'the aura of our current master'? Brother Peach, I already told you, Jiang Fan is not our master at all. Our master is someone else! The aura of the master we sensed before was our true master!" the Little Turtle said.
Upon hearing this, Peach Fruit Old Man wanted to beat the turtle up.
" Fourth! You're spouting nonsense again! He is the master. If he weren't the master, how could it be such a coincidence that the master's aura appeared immediately after that big yellow dog's?"
"This--I--"
The Little Turtle was momentarily speechless when asked, "Maybe, probably, perhaps—no! It's absolutely a coincidence!"
"I'm too lazy to argue with you about this! I'm asking you, where is the master?" Peach Fruit Old Man asked.
"I couldn't find it," the Little Turtle answered truthfully.
"What? You didn't find him? How dare you come back if you didn't find him?! Get out here right now and go find your master! First, there was the scent of that big yellow dog, then the scent of your master. Even a fool could tell that your master must be in danger!"
Peach Fruit Old Man, he grew increasingly anxious, and many tree roots broke through the soil, appearing ready to burst forth at any moment.
Seeing this, the Little Turtle quickly agreed.
"Okay, okay, I'll go find it! Brother Peach, take it easy. Your injury has finally healed, you can't cause any more trouble."
"Then hurry up and go! If you don't go, I'll slap you!"
As he spoke, Peach Fruit Old Man lashed out with a branch.
Actually, it's not usually a short-tempered tree; it just gets anxious and irritable when it comes to things related to its owner.
Faced with the approaching branch, the Little Turtle quickly retracted its head and limbs into its shell.
He still couldn't dodge in time and was whipped away by a tree branch.
Compared to the Little Turtle's experience, Jiang Fan's was much more thrilling and exciting.
The Half-Divine Beast chased the two for an unknown amount of time, showing no intention of letting them go.
Fortunately, the Half-Divine Beast had also been injured; the old man was nearing his end, and so was it.
As a result, both sides slowed down, or rather, slowed down considerably.
"Grandpa! Can you handle this?! Hurry up! It's about to bite my butt!" Jiang Fan was sweating profusely with anxiety.
Lan Mingxi was also covered in sweat, whether from exhaustion or anger at Jiang Fan, it was hard to tell.
"No, give the treasure back to it!" Jiang Fan said urgently.
"You're so naive, kid! You think giving it back will make it let us go?"
"But given the current situation, there's no other way!"
After a few seconds of silence, Lan Mingxi took out a fruit that looked like a pine cone from her spatial ring.
"This fruit can not only enhance your strength, but also quickly heal injuries. Eat half of it to recover. I will find a chance to send you away later. After you leave, remember to give the other half of the fruit to my eldest granddaughter."
Lan Mingxi had given Jiang Fan a lot of Body Restoration Pill before, but he didn't seem to be getting much better.
I don't know how this kid got injured like this. I guess only a rare and precious herb like the one he has can heal his injuries.
"Since this fruit has such an effect, why don't you eat it? If you recover from your injuries, why would you be afraid of it?" Jiang Fan couldn't help but ask.
"Nonsense! If this fruit were useful to me, wouldn't I be eating it?" Lan Mingxi looked at Jiang Fan with an expression of utter disbelief. "My strength is too high; this thing is useless to me."
So that's how it is.
"But what about you?" Jiang Fan asked again.
"My business is none of your concern! Hurry up and eat!"
Lan Mingxi is prepared to fight to the death.
Jiang Fan also noticed this, but he didn't have a better solution than to focus on recovering from his injuries first.
It must be said that rare and precious herbs are far more effective than the Body Restoration Pill.
Although it's far inferior to the peaches produced by the Peach Fruit Old Man, it's enough to heal his injuries.
"Kid, have you recovered from your injuries?" Lan Mingxi asked anxiously.
"Um."
Jiang Fan had barely finished speaking when Lan Mingxi threw him away.
He didn't even have a moment to react.
He shot straight into the distance like a meteor or cannonball.
This old man meant well, but wasn't he afraid of him getting half-crippled?
but--
Given the current situation, Lan Mingxi is doing the right thing.
Being half-crippled is better than being swallowed by a monster.
Lan Mingxi was too strong; she used a lot of force when she threw it.
This caused Jiang Fan to take a long time to recover, and he used his Psychic Power to forcefully prevent himself from continuing to fly backwards.
"I wonder how the old man is doing now?"
Jiang Fan hovered above the treetops, his Psychic Power rapidly spreading into the distance.
Soon they saw Lan Mingxi fighting with Half-Divine Beast.
Tsk tsk tsk--
