Chapter 92: The Death Soul Grass

Fortunately, Bai He was wearing armor and with the assistance of the fire element spiritual bead, he could barely resist the freezing temperature.

But what about Ye Shiyuan?

His situation was far from optimistic.

Not only did he need to search for the Death Soul Grass in this place, he also had to devote a large portion of his spiritual power to resisting the cold.

At the same time, Bai He could not give him any of his magical tools, otherwise the trial would immediately fail.

When they reached the edge of the region, Ye Shiyuan stopped walking.

If he continued forward, the cold would become unbearable.

"Master, stay here and wait for me to come back."

Bai He was stunned for a moment.

Ye Shiyuan was planning to go there alone?

He was not going to take him along?

"Shiyuan, I..."

This time, however, Ye Shiyuan’s attitude was extremely firm.

"Master, don’t worry. I will definitely bring the Death Soul Grass back. Master, believe in me, alright?"

Ye Shiyuan truly did not want Bai He to follow him into such danger.

He knew very well just how perilous the place where the Death Soul Grass grew truly was.

Moreover, Bai He’s cultivation was not particularly high.

Bai He wanted to speak and persuade Ye Shiyuan to let him go along, but when the words reached his lips, he still did not say them.

Instead, he nodded.

"Then I will wait here for you. I will keep waiting until you come out."

Ye Shiyuan froze for a moment.

Suddenly, he reached out and embraced Bai He.

He hold him gently for a brief moment.

"Alright. I will definitely come back."

As Bai He watched Ye Shiyuan’s departing figure, countless thoughts filled his mind.

"Host, are you really that worried?"

"The place where the Death Soul Grass grows is filled with dangers. How could I possibly not worry?"

"But Host, if the Death Soul Grass cannot be obtained, then the male protagonist will not have the Dragon Heart Protecting Scale. If he cannot complete the trial, he will not obtain the Dawnmaker Divine Sword..."

All of these things were connected together, which meant that this journey of Ye Shiyuan’s was absolutely necessary.

Bai He found a place to sit down and quietly waited.

He did not feel cold; he only felt anxious.

On the other side, Ye Shiyuan had already used nearly half of his strength just to resist the freezing cold of this region.

According to the map, the Death Soul Grass should be located halfway up the snowy mountain ahead.

To climb up there meant facing a massive blizzard and flying on a sword was completely impossible in such conditions.

Ye Shiyuan’s eyes finally caught sight of the Death Soul Grass growing halfway up the mountainside.

In his mind, Bai He’s face suddenly appeared.

He had already promised Bai He that he would return and he would never break that promise.

Bai He was still waiting for him there.

Bai He’s body was weak; he could not endure the cold for too long.

"Come out!" Ye Shiyuan called out.

The Heavenly Sin Divine Sword immediately appeared before him.

The Heavenly Sin Divine Sword was a blade with unmatched defensive power.

Even in the face of such a violent blizzard, it could still provide a certain degree of protection.

In an instant, the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword expanded several times in size and positioned itself in front of Ye Shiyuan.

The biting cold brought by the storm was instantly reduced.

A portion of his spiritual power returned to his body.

With the assistance of the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword, everything became much smoother.

While enduring the blizzard, he slowly made his way to the mountainside.

When he looked at the Death Soul Grass that was now within arm’s reach, Ye Shiyuan did not immediately grab it with his hand.

Instead, he first withdrew the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword, then swiftly cut the Death Soul Grass with a single motion and caught it firmly with his other hand.

In the blink of an eye, he completed these actions.

However, because of that moment, without the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword blocking the blizzard, the violent storm instantly swept Ye Shiyuan off his feet.

No one knew how much time had passed before Ye Shiyuan finally woke up.

The first thing he saw was Bai He sitting beside him.

"Master..."

He slowly sat up.

His head hurt a little and he could not clearly remember what had happened.

What else could have happened?

Bai He had found the unconscious Ye Shiyuan and carried him out.

Otherwise, he might have frozen to death inside that blizzard.

But judging from his current condition, he seemed to be fine now.

"The Death Soul Grass... where is it?"

"It’s over there."

Bai He pointed in a certain direction.

The Death Soul Grass that Ye Shiyuan had risked his life to obtain, of course Bai He had brought it back as well.

Ye Shiyuan’s hand was covered in wounds caused by the Death Soul Grass.

The injuries looked quite frightening.

If he had tried to grab the Death Soul Grass while it was still growing, then that entire arm might have been ruined.

However, once it had been cut, its toxicity was not quite as vicious anymore.

It could be held by hand, though it would still cause injuries.

"Thank you, Master. I’ve made Master worry."

Bai He let out a sigh. "Shiyuan, have you ever thought about giving up?"

Ye Shiyuan was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head. "Of course not, Master. For you, and for myself, I will never give up."

He had already made a promise.

He had promised that he would do his best to pass the trial.

"What if... I mean, what if... if you failed the trial, but in truth you didn’t have to pay any price at all? Would you still give up?"

Ye Shiyuan had never considered such a possibility before, but since Bai He had brought it up, he still thought about it.
