Chapter 1280: Chapter 1280: Holy Land Snow Lotus (5 Updates)
On the other side, Ye Haochuan also put away the "Purple Lotus Spirit Flame" and rushed into the clouds.
After ascending into the misty mountainside, he flew up all the way, and the cliffs were no different than flat ground to him.
After flying for more than an hour, Ye Haochuan saw a cave, and inside the cave, there were some Divine Condensation Grass, which was one of the auxiliary medicines for the Snow Condensation Revival Pill. So, Ye Haochuan rushed into the cave.
"Huh? This scent? Soothing and mind-clearing, it seems I’ve encountered a good herb."
Upon entering the cave, Ye Haochuan smelled a refreshing fragrance of grass and wood.
So, he quickly picked the Divine Condensation Grass on the cave walls and then followed the scent, collecting some other herbs along the way as he walked through the cave.
However, when he arrived at the cave entrance, he hadn’t found the source of the aromatic herb, and even the scent had disappeared. Just as he was puzzled, he suddenly heard the fierce roars of demon beasts.
Damn, are these demon beasts having a conference?
Ye Haochuan withdrew into the cave, wide-eyed, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, and used his Perspective Ability to secretly spy on the army of demon beasts outside, silently complaining.
Outside his cave, there was a group of extremely cold Cold Yin Silk Butterflies, more than a dozen red-eyed Snow Ridge Berserker Bears, and an enormous, ferociously tempered Giant Spirit Ape, and even a highly venomous Cold Mark Poison Wolf.
Setting those aside, looking at the sky, there were swarms of Mysterious Yin Bees buzzing loudly, swirling endlessly.
Additionally, in mid-air, on the pine trees by the cliff, there was a group of fist-sized Albino Spiders quietly lying in the center of a large web.
Even on the ground, there was a large swarm of Ice Fire Ants churning endlessly, and these ants possessed both ice and fire properties, making them extremely bizarre.
And these were not all; they were just the tip of the iceberg that Ye Haochuan could see.
What was even more terrifying was that the cultivation of these demon beasts ranged from Foundation Establishment to Core Formation Stage, and Ye Haochuan even discovered a few Nascent Soul Stage demon beasts.
But what made one’s scalp tingle was not the complex number and variety of these demon beasts, nor their terrifying cultivation.
It was that all these demon beasts, regardless of their cultivation level, lined up neatly, submissive to a Nascent Soul Peak Cold Jade Snow Kirin.
When this Cold Jade Snow Kirin roared, the demon beast horde roared too; when it shook its body, the whole demon beast horde bowed to the ground; when its eyes glanced over, the demon beasts being looked at either roared excitedly or hung their heads in dejection.
What were they doing?
Ye Haochuan was perplexed. One must admit, sometimes learning an extra language is really important.
"Roar~"
At this moment, the Cold Jade Snow Kirin stood up, its whole body shivering, roaring fiercely, spreading an unparalleled aura, obscuring the sky and the sun.
"Roar~"
The beasts responded with a roar.
Then, the Cold Jade Snow Kirin turned around, leading the massive beast swarm away majestically.
"Damn, this Mount Obis truly is a kingdom of demon beasts! Judging by this momentum, a war is likely brewing among the demon beasts, isn’t it?"
Seeing the demon beasts leave, Ye Haochuan emerged from the cave, watching the direction they left, and stroked his chin.
In this howling cold wind, the frigid gale blew Ye Haochuan’s hair, causing his strands of blue-black hair to flutter unpredictably before his eyes.
But Ye Haochuan paid no heed to this. He just kept stroking his chin, staring blankly at the spot where the Cold Jade Snow Kirin had stood, lost in thought.
Suddenly, the wind changed direction, blowing Ye Haochuan’s hair back over his head again.
A whiff of fragrance was carried by the gale.
Should he go check it out?
An idea flashed in Ye Haochuan’s mind, and with a swift movement, he reached the spot where the Cold Jade Snow Kirin had stood, a position at the edge of the cliff.
Looking down from there, he could see a deep pit at the cliff’s bottom, hundreds of meters down. The pit was pitch black, showing only flickering phosphorescent glimmers, and it was from this pit that the fragrance was drifting.
"Roar~"
Just as Ye Haochuan was about to jump down, a loud roar came from below the cliff, as a beast’s head emerged from a cave under the cliff, howling towards the sky.
An additional Cold Jade Snow Kirin?
Startled, Ye Haochuan turned and left without hesitation, disappearing swiftly into the distance thanks to the speed of the Sword Flash Technique.
Shortly after, a Nascent Soul Late Stage Cold Jade Snow Kirin flew up from below the cliff, laying down for a nap at the spot Ye Haochuan had just stood.
Soon, dribbles of drool collected into a brook, flowing down the cliff and into the five-meter-wide pit.
"Damn, good thing I ran fast!"
Far away, Ye Haochuan activated his Perspective Ability, witnessing this scene and feeling deeply shocked. If he hadn’t acted decisively at the time, he could have been swallowed whole by this Cold Jade Snow Kirin.
Regaining his senses, Ye Haochuan realized he had arrived at the mountain peak.
Standing at the peak, he gazed around, seeing only sparse pines and cypresses standing lonely amidst the snowy landscape.
"Forget it, better go find the Holy Land Snow Lotus."
Ye Haochuan sighed, avoiding the Cold Jade Snow Kirin’s territory, and began searching around.
Ink Leaf Lotus, Cold Marrow Branch, Cold Spirit Ghost Flower, Purple Spirit Cold Ice Grass, Ice Spirit Flame Grass, White Spirit Ginseng Fruit, Pure Heart Clover...
After another hour of searching, Ye Haochuan took stock of his gains, rubbing his chin and muttering to himself: "Even if I don’t find the Holy Land Snow Lotus, finding so many rare herbs isn’t a loss."
"Sigh, but if I don’t find the Holy Land Snow Lotus, that old fellow Yang Sen won’t make it."
Sighing, Ye Haochuan strolled to the edge of a nearby gorge. This gorge was close to the Cold Jade Snow Kirin’s territory, so Ye Haochuan had left it for last.
Ye Haochuan wandered around the gorge for a while, finding a few Snow Grass, Cold Lingzhi, and so on. Then he returned to the starting point and looked down into the gorge.
He looked around, holding the Divine Concealment Sword, and leapt down.
However, he didn’t notice a trail of clear footprints he left on the snowy ground, and in the distance, three figures were following the trail, about twenty minutes away.
They were just following behind Ye Haochuan, searching for medicinal treasures, but they were unlucky; every place they went had been thoroughly ransacked by Ye Haochuan.
What was left for them were either useless grass roots or worthless leaves.
"Damn it! Which son of a bitch didn’t even leave us a single hair? Once I catch him, I swear I’ll skin him alive!"
A slightly chubby man in his twenties dressed in green was cursing loudly while tracking the footprints, accompanied by two other men in green, who were none other than the Tu Family brothers.
"Big brother, don’t worry. Let’s see which god it is, whether they’re friend or foe, their cultivation level. Once we’ve figured it out, if there’s an opportunity, we can make a small fortune. If not, then forget it."
The one speaking was the middle brother, Tu Hongyan. Unlike eldest brother Tu Hongbai who was lecherous, and youngest brother Tu Honglang who was a martial fanatic, his trait was greed.
"Yeah, big brother, don’t worry, trust second brother. He always comes up with the best schemes..."
Slap—
Before Tu Honglang could finish his sentence, Tu Hongyan smacked him on the head, saying, "Shut up, listening to you is tiring as hell. You turn a compliment into a criticism."
"Hehe, second brother, don’t be mad, I didn’t mean it..." Tu Honglang chuckled foolishly.
"Stop arguing, the footprints end here. He most likely went down. Second brother, what do you suggest?"
Unbeknownst to them, the trio had arrived at the edge of the gorge.
"Jump. Since that person dared to go down, why should we fear? Alang, as per usual, you go first."
Tu Hongyan, squinting and scanning the terrain, carefully observed before suggesting.
Tu Honglang, hearing this, immediately jumped down without hesitation. After he reached the bottom, Tu Hongyan and Tu Hongbai exchanged a glance and jumped down together.
