Chapter 2388 - 2393: Snatching Food from a Tiger’s Mouth?

Chapter 2388: Chapter 2393: Snatching Food from a Tiger’s Mouth?

"Ssss!"

Powerful demon energy flows down the throat into the stomach.

Subsequently converging into a vortex.

When she was about to be overwhelmed.

The vortex reverses, and in a blink, disperses into traces, spreading throughout the meridians.

After circulating for a cycle, this force gathers anew, then rushes into the dantian.

Moments later, Lan Lianxue opens her eyes, incredulously looking at the bottle placed beside her.

"My cultivation level really did loosen up!!!"

"The leader wasn’t lying to me!"

In her excitement, Lan Lianxue doesn’t forget the fundamental truth.

What Xia Liu said turned out to be true!

Damn it!

She previously suspected him!

Thinking of this, Lan Lianxue feels guilty.

She does not rush to swallow.

Because there’s a lot of liquid in the bottle.

The power within is terrifying!

Now her heart state is unsuitable for cultivation.

After tidying up.

Lan Lianxue walks to the backyard.

Just like before, Xia Liu is in the Medicine Garden with a small shovel, weeding.

For the first time, Lan Lianxue discovers that a man being focused can be so charming.

Perhaps it’s related to Xia Liu gifting the medicine, sparking gratitude in her heart.

But that doesn’t matter.

What’s important is, Xia Liu didn’t lie and even granted her great fortune!

There’s still one thing as before.

No energy fluctuations around Xia Liu.

He really seems like an ordinary person.

"Leader."

"Hmm, Lianxue is back."

Xia Liu greets with a grin.

"Yes, I might have been a bit rash this morning, almost misunderstood the leader."

Lan Lianxue says, embarrassed.

"Haha, no problem, young people should have a bit of vigor."

"Mmm, thank you, leader, for understanding."

"Come on, let’s weed first, when there’s an opportunity I’ll take you to the Nether Land or Nether River to hunt demon beasts."

"Yes!"

Lan Lianxue diligently picks up the tools, starting to busy herself in the Medicine Garden.

Midway, she asked Xia Liu about the bottle.

The result was not satisfying.

Xia Liu still said the same as before, buying it from a blind old man.

This made Lan Lianxue quite delighted.

Xia Liu was incredibly lucky to encounter such a thing.

Of course, ultimately she benefits from it.

In the future, she would certainly take good care of the Medicine Garden, attend to Xia Liu, and manage the Osmanthus Group.

In the following half month, Lan Lianxue consumed that bottle of demon fluid.

Her cultivation level upgraded by one stage!

Reaching the Mid-Stage of Demon Infant!

This made her extremely happy.

She then subtly suggested that Xia Liu take her to the Secret Realm to hunt beasts.

Xia Liu asked her to continue gathering intel about possible high-rank demon beasts appearances.

Eventually, she did find out.

After returning and waiting for two days.

Then heading to Demon Hunter City.

This time, the entire city was stirred.

Because deep within the Nether Land, a nest of high-strength demon beasts was slaughtered overnight!

Five formidable entities, as strong as the fifth rank of Demon Lord.

This made the demon cultivators in Demon Hunter City uneasy.

Because no one knew who was the powerful figure that slaughtered these demon beasts.

Mystery abounds!

Numerous legends emerged within Demon Hunter City.

"Leader, you don’t know, some even said that those demon beasts were not killed by demon cultivators but by their kin, higher-rank demon beasts."

"Hmm, this speculation is very reasonable, there is strife among demon beasts."

"If that’s true, then perhaps we shouldn’t easily enter the Secret Realm."

Lan Lianxue proactively retreats.

"Why?"

"Leader, think about it, since there’s such terrifying demon beast in the Secret Realm, meeting the Human Race, it certainly wouldn’t be merciful."

...

Xia Liu smiles slightly: "Don’t be afraid, the recent events all happened in the Nether Land, indicating the Nether Land is dangerous, perhaps the Nether River can serve as your trial ground."

"Ah! Is the leader planning to take me out to hunt demon beasts?"

Lan Lianxue weakly asks.

"Hmm, your cultivation seems improved, you can go out and gain some experience."

"Yes! I also want to test my limits."

"Prepare tonight, get your mindset ready, we depart tomorrow."

"Yes! Leader!"

The following morning.

Xia Liu and Lan Lianxue set out.

They rent a demon crystal ship at the dock of Demon Hunter City and head towards the central region of the Ming River Sea Area.

The weather is mild and bright, on the ship, it’s very leisurely.

Yet when the ship enters the central region of the Ming River Sea Area.

The surrounding atmosphere becomes quite eerie.

Thick fog often floats on the sea surface.

The water is no longer azure, instead, it turns deep.

An unsettling feeling in the heart, as if powerful demon beasts might leap from the water at any moment.

Luckily that feeling didn’t last long, the ship soon docked and stopped.

Sea Demon Island.

An extremely spacious and mysterious island.

Interestingly, no demon beasts with Demon Lord strength appear here.

Hence, it became a beast hunting place for many adventurous mercenary corps.

Due to intense hunting, there are few demon beasts left on the island.

On the island, cases of mercenary groups fighting over demon beasts happen too often.

"Leader, should we keep going?"

After landing, the eerie surroundings make Lan Lianxue slightly tense.

Her body trembles slightly.

"Don’t be scared, with me here, no demon beast can harm you."

Watching Xia Liu’s irresistible smile.

Lan Lianxue’s heart unknowingly calms down.

After responding, she explores alongside Xia Liu.

Two days later, before a low hill, a demon beast at the Early-Stage of Demon Infant was targeted by Xia Liu and Lan Lianxue.

"Leader! Great! We’ve found the demon beast!"

"Hmm, its power is slightly lower than your cultivation level, so let this be your practice."

"Hehe, thank you, leader!"

Its strength is only equivalent to the Early-Stage of Demon Infant.

Lan Lianxue is brimming with confidence.

Since she doesn’t have much combat experience.

Lan Lianxue unleashes her attacks without holding back.

In just a few minutes, she has suppressed the beast to the point of incapacitation.

But just as she intends to deliver a fatal blow.

An axe descends from the sky.

Blocking the dying demon beast.

And stopping Lan Lianxue.

"What is this?"

In confusion, a robust figure descends from the sky.

The pressure of Demon Infant Late Stage unfolds continuously.

For a moment, Lan Lianxue is immobilized.

But quickly recovers.

"Such a bold female demon! Do you know, this vine beast has been targeted by my Celestial Mercenary Corps for a long time!"

"What nonsense are you talking! When we found this demon beast, there was no one within hundreds of miles around!"

Lan Lianxue is very displeased.

She hits Xia Liu’s prey, why should others seize it!

This is blatant robbery!

"Oh? No one within hundreds of miles?"

Gao Wei smirks devilishly: "Now there is, isn’t there?"

As he opens his hands, several cultivators in the Demon Infant stage descend from the air.

Surrounding Xia Liu and Lan Lianxue.

This!

This clearly is seizing one’s spoils!!

"Lianxue, don’t reason with them."

Seeing Lan Lianxue with her neck red in anger, Xia Liu reminds her.

Their intentions are clear; they want to seize the demon beast, reasoning is futile.

"Leader! Are we just watching them take away the demon beast?"

"Haha! Little girl, or do you wish to come with us?"
