Chapter 2260
2260 Pitiful cannon fodder
“The inner realm isn’t that dangerous after all. Old man Xie is just trying to scare me. That old bastard just doesn’t want me to come and find something good.” “Hmph!” Ling Chuxi coldly snorted as she kept her sword.
Shi chenhua and Zi Yin opened their mouths but did not know what to say.
Wasn’t it dangerous? If Ling Chuxi was here, with just the two of them, they really would not be able to deal with these spirit beasts. Even if they could save their lives, they would most likely be covered in dust and leave the illusionary realm in dejection.
It was only now that they realized how blissful it was to follow Ling Chuxi firmly. The entire journey was even more relaxing and pleasant than going on a field trip. Other than the false alarm at the beginning, they did not even find the opportunity to make a move. Often, the moment the spirit beast appeared, it had just bared its fangs, brandished its claws, and roared half a time before it was split in half by Ling Chuxi’s sword.
Then, a sparkling and translucent spirit beast inner core flew out. The two of them looked at the scenery as if they were taking a stroll in a courtyard. They also saw Ling Linxi’s display of power. She took the spirit beast inner core leisurely and didn’t cultivate much, but her strength improved quite a bit. Zi Yin’s Soul clearing cold crystal directly advanced to the third layer, and Shi chenhua also easily advanced to the fourth layer.
‘Sigh. If I had known that it was so easy to level up, I would not have taken so many medicinal pills in the past. I would have followed Ling Chuxi earlier and just eaten more inner cores of spiritual beasts. Then I would not have to worry about my body being poisoned by medicinal pills.’ Shi chenhua secretly sighed with emotion.
At the same time, Jie Feiying, Feng lengsong and the others were not so relaxed.
Along the way, they had also encountered many fierce spirit beasts. Although they had the advantage in numbers, no one had a combat power as strong as Ling Chuxi ‘s. The first few times they encountered the fierce beasts, Feng lengsong could still rely on his individual strength to kill them easily. However, the weakness of spell cultivators was quickly exposed. After a few attacks, Feng lengsong’s strength was not enough and he could no longer be as arrogant.
The others had no choice but to join forces to resist the enemy. Although it was called joining forces, in reality, they had pushed Zhao Dahai and the other two to the forefront whenever there was danger. This was not surprising. The disciples of the bamboo stream valley and the flower stream valley had the advantage in numbers. The head of the valley, elder Jie, had also secretly joined forces to repel the Han Qingchi’s line. In addition, even a blind person could see Jie Feiying’s feelings for Feng lengsong. The flower stream valley and the bamboo stream valley were naturally tightly bound together. The heavy responsibility of cannon fodder could only be handed to the three outsiders.
The pitiful Zhao Dahai and the other two were not much stronger than Shi chenhua. They could not cause any fatal damage to these ferocious spirit beasts at all. Their only use was to act as meat shields to attract the fire. Not long after they set off, the three of them were all injured and in a worse state than the other.
“Martial nephew Feng, let’s take a rest first. We can’t take it anymore, we need to treat our injuries first.” Zhao Dahai sat down on the ground and said while panting.
“What rest? we’re here to search for the sect residence’s treasure, not to rest.” One of the bamboo stream valley disciples said as he looked at Zhao Dahai and the others impatiently.
“But I really can’t do it anymore. If I don’t heal my injuries, I’ll die.” Zhao Dahai pointed at the wound on his shoulder. A claw mark had penetrated deep into his body, so deep that his bones could be seen. It was so painful that he gritted his teeth.
“Forget it, let’s take a break.” Feng lengsong said after thinking for a while.
If the three of them really died, he would have to use his own people as meat shields to attract the fire. He did not want to sacrifice his own people. However, no one would sympathize with these three people. They only had themselves to blame.
“Many thanks, martial nephew Feng. Many thanks, martial nephew Feng.” Zhao Dahai said gratefully.
