Chapter 74 - Purple Soul Flower
Chapter 74 - Purple Soul Flower
There weren't many powerful fierce beasts in this forest, but the forest's range was far beyond Qin Feng's expectations. At the very least, it was more than dozens of times larger than the Black Forest he visited on the earth before.
Qin Feng had been speeding for a very long time, but he still had not left the forest. Qin Feng used the Spirit Devour Escape and vanished from where he stood in a flash.
.....
Somewhere in the forest, a few strange-looking fierce beasts surrounded the group of people. The leading fierce beast had the body of an elephant. The head of this beast was like a tiger, and it had three blood-red eyes.
The four hooves of the beast were strong and powerful, and its claws were flickering with a cold light.
The people who were surrounded stared at the claws of the beasts with fear in their hearts. A companion of these people had been torn to pieces by the beast's claws.
The person who was torn apart by the beast was an Advanced Battle Spirit Lord but still, he died under the beast's claws. It could be seen how powerful this beast was.
"This... This is bad... I didn't think that the beast we killed earlier was only a child, but now, an adult one has appeared. What should we do?" A young man's face was pale and filled with despair.
An adult Three-eyed Tiger Elephant has the combat strength of a Battle Spirit King Realm martial warrior.
An ordinary Battle Spirit King might not even be a match for an adult Three-eyed Tiger Elephant in a one-on-one fight.
More than ten people were surrounded. Most of them wore the same uniform of guards, protecting a man and a woman in the middle.
The one who spoke earlier was the young man.
As for the other woman, who was about twenty years old, gritted her teeth and said: "Ding Jia Le, this matter has nothing to do with you. Take your people and leave first. The target of this group of fierce beasts is the Purple Soul Flower in my hands. As long as I'm still here, I'll be able to divert their attention for you."
The young man's expression changed: "What nonsense are you saying!? That's an adult Three-eyed Tiger Elephant, one of the top rank 3 fierce beasts. With so many of us together, we can't stop it. If you're the only one left then you won't be able to escape."
Gritting his teeth, the young man called Ding Jia Le said, "Mao Mao, throw away the Purple Soul Flower. As long as you throw it away, there won't need to attract its attention for anyone anymore. We'll come back when we have the chance in the future to search for another Purple Soul Flower."
A Level Three Fierce Beast was considered a beast that ruled the entire Forest. There weren't many Level Four Fierce Beasts in the entire Cloud Forest.
This time, they had underestimated their strength and thought that they wouldn't encounter a Level Three Fierce Beast, which was why they were in such a predicament right now.
The young woman shook her head firmly: "No, father's soul is injured. Those big families in Cloud City are eyeing my Mao family covetously. Only the Purple Soul Flower can restore my father's soul and it can also help my father restore the strength of the Middle Innate Realm. Otherwise, those big families will definitely invade my Mao family soon. Without my father, my Mao family simply doesn't have the strength to resist."
Ding Jia Le fell silent. He knew that the other party was right, but with the Purple Soul Flower in hand, the fierce beast would definitely not let this matter rest.
Only by losing the Purple Soul Flower would they have a glimmer of hope of escaping alive.
Yes, just a glimmer of hope. No one can be sure that the beast in front of them would not do anything to them after throwing the Purple Soul Flower.
Beasts were born to kill. This was something all cultivators in the Cultivation World knew. Generally speaking, once a fierce beast found its target, it would be a situation where it would fight to the death unless there was a special situation.
The Purple Soul Flower in the lady's hand right now was such a special situation. If she were to throw it away, there might be a chance for them to escape from here and survive.
The Purple Soul Flower did not have much effect on Martial Warriors. At most, it was used to recover the soul when the soul is injured.
For Alchemists, perhaps it was more valuable. It could be used to refine some Pills that could strengthen a Martial Warrior's soul.
However, it was different when it came to fierce beasts.
When a fierce beast consumed a blooming Purple Soul Flower, there was a certain probability that it would mutate.
For example, when a three-eyed tiger elephant beast matured, its limit is just Level Three, but if it ate a Purple Soul Flower, there is a high chance that it would mutate and break through to Level Four.
A Level Four Fierce Beast can fight head-on against a Martial Warrior of the Battle Spirit Emperor Realm.
The beast didn't have much intelligence, but it had the instinct of a beast.
The beast's Instinct tells it that the Purple Soul Flower was extremely beneficial to it, which was why the Purple Soul Flower was being protected by a young Three-eyed Tiger Elephant. Ding Jia Le and the others had to kill the young Three-eyed Tiger Elephant to obtain the Purple Soul Flower.
However, Ding Jia Le and the others did not expect that the beast they killed also had an adult mother.
At this moment, this adult mother had already chased after them and had already killed more than three people.
If he hadn't killed the young Three-eyed Tiger Elephant, Ding Jia Le was very confident that he would have been able to leave after throwing away the Purple Soul Flower.
And now, between the Purple Soul Flower and revenge, Ding Jia Le wasn't sure what kind of choice the beast in front of him would make.
On the other hand, Qin Feng was surprised when he heard the three words 'Middle Innate Realm' from the mouth of the young lady. He suddenly remembered that the Mysterious Lady had told him that in the Cultivation World, cultivation realms have different names.
In the Cultivation World, Battle Spirit Warrior Realm was known as Qi Training, Battle Spirit Lord Realm is known as Foundation Establishment, Battle Spirit King Realm is known as Innate Realm, and Battle Spirit Emperor Realm is known as Golden Core Realm.
The mysterious lady had also told him that there were also other cultivation stages above the Golden Core Realm but she didn't tell him about those realms. She only told him that he will know about them in the future.
.....
Beside the young woman, a white-robed old man anxiously said, "Miss, The Purple Soul Flower isn't some especially precious heaven and earth wondrous item. Worst comes to worst, we'll go to a bigger city to search for it afterward. Currently, there is only Miss in the family who cared about Family Head. If you die here then no one will really care about Family Head anymore. Just like what Young Master Ding said. As long as we can get out of here safely, we can search for the Purple Soul Flower in the future."
When the young woman heard this, she was slightly moved.
After a long while, the lady gritted her teeth and finally put down the Purple Soul Flower.
Including Ding Jia Le and the old man, everyone let out a sigh of relief.
Immediately, the group of people carefully retreated, preparing to leave.
However, at this moment, the Three-eyed Tiger Elephant roared angrily. Its blood-red eyes coldly stared at the group of people. Its eyes were filled with violent killing intent, and it didn't even look at the Purple Soul Flower on the ground.
Obviously, between the Purple Soul Flower and revenge, the Three-eyed Tiger Elephant chose revenge.
With a furious roar, a few Level 2 fierce beasts next to the Three-eyed Tiger Elephant threw themselves at Ding Jia Le, the young lady, and the others.
"Miss, retreat!" The old man shouted loudly. He and more than a dozen Early Foundation Establishment guards stepped forward, their spirit energy shooting out.
Roar!
The Three-eyed Tiger Elephant roared once more. This roar actually contained a sound wave attack. The souls of the old man and the others trembled as they spat out blood. Their bodies were on the verge of collapse.
But even so, the old man and the many guards firmly blocked the young woman and Ding Jia Le.
It was only because their souls had been attacked by the sound waves that the state of the old man and the others had been greatly reduced.
