Chapter 282: Catch That Beast!

The suspicion on the female practitioner’s face grew heavier . She then turned to look at Little Bai at the side, a little dissatisfied that he merely possessed cultivation at the tenth level of Essence . However, after seeing that his sleeves were embroidered with the mark that only elite disciples could have, she was startled for a moment . In the end, she did not express any disapproval, and said with a sigh . “Since she’s here, then let’s go . We have already wasted quite a bit of time earlier . We have to rush there by noon . ”

As she said that, she instructed everyone to fly on their swords and head northwards .

“Little tyrant, lend me a flying sword!” Zhu Yao immediately snatched a flying sword from little tyrant and used it as her own transportation tool . Then, she followed right after them .

Bai Zhiyuan sighed . He did not retaliate, instead, he took out another mystic artifact and caught up to her .

“Grandma, there’s so many mystic artifacts in Skybond Peak, why do you have to use mine?” he could not help but retort through voice transmission .

Zhu Yao made an awkward look . “You don’t understand . Grandma has very expensive tastes!” Use the artifacts in Skybond Peak? She did not wish to cuss out ‘bitch’ all day long .

“Grandma, if you slip out of Skybond Peak like this, Sect Master master will be angry . ”

“I have no choice . I have matters to attend to . ”

“No matter how huge the matter it is, you can’t slip out like this . ” He said with a disapproving look . “What if you encounter something dangerous?”

“Don’t worry, I will protect you well!”

“…” This was not what he meant! Haah, whatever . He just had to watch over grandma a little . Once an opportunity were to arrive, he would still inform the Sect Master .

Zhu Yao sized up the group of people . Ye Qingcang was very easily recognizable . The person with the poorest cultivation was him, at the first level of Essence . Like little tyrant, he was around fifteen to sixteen years old . He had very average and common looks, belonging to the category where if she were to throw into a large crowd, it would be impossible to distinguish him from the rest .

If not for the clear ‘bug’ wordings on his face, she really would not have connected him with the past bugs she encountered . There was not the slightest of indication on him that showed that he was a main protagonist .

The group flew for about half an hour before arriving at the edge of the forest .

The leading girly was surnamed Qin, and she possessed cultivation at the late stages of Foundation . The other girly was at the mid stages of Foundation, while the other two male practitioners were also at the late stages of Foundation as well .

Group Leader Qin gathered everyone together, and explained the situation surrounding that demonic beast in detail . It was a fourth rank Concealed Rock Beast, and it had the dual attributes of metal and earth . It was extremely capable in concealment, and it lived in one of the caves in the edge of the forest .

The terrain of the cave was very complicated . If one were to enter it by mistake, it would most likely be impossible for that person to find his way bag . This was also why the best plan was to lure the Concealed Rock Beast out . Naturally, she had already prepared the male protagonist as bait .

“This is Firefly Scent Lure . ” The girly Qin passed Ye Qingcang a green stone . “Take this and enter this cave . Within six hours, the path you tread will glow with white firefly lights . If you happen to lose your way inside, you can come out by following the lights . ”

Ye Qingcang took it, and nodded with a heavy expression . His eyes, however, were unexpectedly firm .

“Why don’t we use a Positioning Talisman?” Little tyrant interrupted . “If we use a Positioning Talisman, we can immediately position it at the entrance . Isn’t that better?”

When his words fell, one of the male practitioners glared at him, and said with a sarcastic tone . “Hmph! Positioning Talisman? Do you know much does one Positioning Talisman costs? Catching one fourth rank demonic beast isn’t even enough to buy two Position Talismans . ”

Little Bai’s expression paled, a hint of embarrassment flashed past his face . He was indeed unaware of this fact .

That male practitioner however grew even more tactless . “You elite disciples simply do not know of the pain of regular disciples . Do you really think the streets are filled with talismans?”

Zhu Yao frowned . These words were indeed a little too much! This person was surnamed Zhao was dissatisfied with the newly joined Zhu Yao and Little Bai ever since the very beginning . Along the way, he had not given them even the slightest smile .

“Enough!” Group Leader Qin’s expression sank as she glared at Zhao Li . “It’s already pretty late . Before dark, we must lure that Concealed Rock Beast out . ”

Only then did Zhao Li shut his mouth .

The group walked to the entrance of the cave . The cave was really huge, similar to a gigantic highway tunnel . A few low growls of demonic beasts could be faintly heard from within, accompanied by the whistling of the wind . The sounds were not exactly clear .

The girly Qin cast a glance at Ye Qingcang . He took a deep breath, before walking into that cave .

“Wait a minute!” Zhu Yao took a few steps forward . A white light flashed in her palm, and she slapped him at the back . She said with a chuckle . “Be careful . ”

Ye Qingcang had a confused look, but he still gave her a nod before walking in . In just a short few moments, his figure was no longer in sight .

“Junior-martial sister, just how confident are you with subduing this fourth rank demonic beast?” Profiteer asked .

“I don’t know either . ” Though her World Favourable Impression was really convenient to use, there was still that bugged main protagonist at the side . She was truly worried that something might happen . “We can talk about it again after seeing the demonic beast . ”

Profiteer nodded as he pointed to the entrance of the cave . “With how huge the cave is, most likely, that junior-martial brother might not be able to return that quickly…”

Before he could even finish, a loud roar could be heard from within . The entire cave entrance began to rain down shattered rocks .

The crowd was stunned . None of them had expected that Ye Qingcang would encounter that demonic beast so quickly .

“Scatter, be prepared to battle!” The girly Qin shouted out with a sunken voice . The group did not have time for idle chatter either, as they hurriedly scattered and summon their weapons .

In just but a few moments, running footsteps could be heard from the entrance . Ye Qingcang sprinted out, and though his hair was slightly dishevelled, he was not injured at all . Before the group could even feel joyous, a gigantic figure suddenly appeared behind him, and it was charging out of the entrance .

“Get down!” Zhu Yao shouted .

Ye Qingcang hurriedly rolled in response, as he exited the cave .

Immediately after, the sharp howl of a beast reverberated . The loudness of its voice resounded through the clouds . Probably due to the echoes in the cave, even the entire ground seemed to be shaking a little .

With a bang, a demonic beast which had rocks grown all over its body appeared before their eyes .

It seemed to be extremely furious . After its howl, it faced the nearest Ye Qingcang and slammed its claw towards him .

Though he had rolled quite a distance away, it was still impossible for him to dodge and the sharp claw was about to reach his body . In the scenario, Ye Qingcang was heavily injured because of this claw, and he had almost lost his life in result . However, it was different this time .

An earth wall suddenly erected in front of his body, blocking that ferocious claw . He felt a little heat on his back, as an earth-type defensive talisman flew out . He was stunned for a moment . Suddenly, he recalled that right before entering the cave, that newly joined granny had slapped him on the back .

“Granny?” He turned back to look at her, flabbergasted .

“What are you looking at? Hurry and run!” Zhu Yao glared at him . You’re a granny . Your entire family is made of grannies!

Ye Qingcang rolled and crawled out of the demonic beast’s attack range .

“Little tyrant, look after him!” Zhu Yao turned around and instructed Little Bai . With a flick of her hand, the earth wall summoned by the earth-type defensive talisman earlier instantly expanded, blocking the demonic beast’s movements .

The demonic beast’s eyes grew crimson red, evidently, it was enraged beyond compare . Zhu Yao had planned on first restricting its movements and have it calm down before chatting with it .

Who would have known that in a blink of an eye, the gigantic figure of the demonic beast that was surrounded by the earth wall, would disappear without a trace .

“It disappeared!” Zhao Li said with a startled look . He searched around, before glaring at Zhu Yao . “Old woman, you can’t possibly have scared it back into the cave, right?”

The flames in Zhu Yao’s heart instantly erupted .

Group Leader Qin’s expression changed . “Stay focused, the demonic beast is still here!”

At the moment her words fell, that demonic beast suddenly appeared right above Zhao Li, and it was pouncing straight at him . Zhao Li quickly dodged, but he was still slammed head-on by the demonic beast’s claw . Though he had long erected a defensive barrier, he still received some injuries . He was thrown a few dozens of meters away as he puked out a mouthful of blood .

“Junior-martial brother Chen!” The Qin girly cried out . She instantly summoned several dozens of spiritual swords and threw them at the demonic beast .

However, a scene that could shock everyone occurred . The body of the gigantic demonic beast began to turn transparent in a blink of an eye, disappearing from its spot in an instant . The spiritual swords struck the trees behind it one after another .

“The demonic beast can conceals itself!” Profiteer shouted out loudly . “Be aware of your surroundings . ”

Only then did the group calm themselves down and focus their senses at the movements in the surroundings . Unfortunately, because they were merely practitioners at the Essence and Foundation level, they were unable to expand their divine sense . They were basically unable to see through the demonic beast’s location .

In the next moment, that demonic beast once again appeared next to the male and female Foundation disciples . They were practitioner-pair husband and wife, and they had been both slammed onto the ground, watching as the demonic beast bite towards them . At this moment, Profiteer summoned hundreds of icicles and threw them at the demonic beast .

That demonic beast dodged to the side, jumping up from the spot it was from, its figure once again began to turn transparent . Right before it disappeared, it faced the sky and let out a suppressed growl .

Zhu Yao heard it clearly this time . The meaning behind that growl was…

“It hurts…”

Zhu Yao was startled for a moment, a thought instantly emerged in her mind .

Before she could piece everything up, that demonic beast instantly appeared right behind her .

┗|｀o′|┛ Oouu~~ As it roared, it pounced at her .

However, at the moment it was about to land on her, it blanked for a moment . Unable to stop the momentum on its feet, it bent its knees and ended up twisting itself, smashing onto the ground right in front of her .

Then, it simply laid there in a daze .

That pair of crimson red eyes grew a little clearer, as it mumbled in front of her . “It hurts~~”

Zhu Yao asked on reflex . “Where does it hurt?”

It suddenly voiced out ‘ah’ in front of her, opening its large mouth . It was even larger than her entire body . Zhu Yao simply felt a fishy stench pouring towards her, its heaviness made her feel dizzy .

Ugh… Such heavy bad breath!

Even if you’re a beastie, please take care of your hygiene, hey!

“Grandma!” Little tyrant was frightened . Just as he was about to charge out, he was stopped by Profiteer .

“Wait a minute . ” He pointed to Zhu Yao and said . “She’s presently taming that demonic beast . Don’t worry . ” He had experience with something like this . Back then when she tamed that fifth rank demonic beast, she was also standing unmoving like that .

Mn . Junior-martial sister Yu is not dodging . She’s definitely using that unique beast taming technique of hers . She definitely is .

The group exchanged glances, a hint of hesitation appeared on their faces . Little Bai’s heart was even clenched tightly .

Zhu Yao looked at that beastie closing ts mouth in front of her, and it was still crying out with a teary voice . “It hurts… It hurts so much…”

“Just where in the world does it hurt?” If you don’t say it, how would I know? Zhu Yao pinched her nose . The spiritual intellect of a fourth rank demonic beast was very limited . Though it had already calmed down, she really could not figure out from its answer for a moment .

That beastie however grew even more depressed . Tilting its head, it signalled with its paws . “It hurts… It swelled . It hurts so much…”

Swell? Zhu Yao was stunned a little . She took a closer look at its lips, and only then did she realize that there was indeed a lump on its lips . However, because its entire body was made of rocks, the swelling was not very obvious .

“Over here?” She touched the lump .

The beast jolted, as if a sore spot had been touched . Tears began to flow out, drenching Zhu Yao’s entire body, as though she was bathing in a warm bath .

“…”

“It hurts… It’s stuck . It hurts… A bad guy threw it in . Beastie hurts so much…” It grew even more depressed, as it told her in a complaining tone .

Only then did Zhu Yao begin to understand the situation . “You’re saying… Something is stuck in your mouth?” That’s why it’s swelling!

The beastie nodded .

Her face darkened . “Open your mouth!”

With another ‘ah’ sound, it opened its mouth . Pinching her nose, Zhu Yao carefully inspected its mouth which looked like a mountain cave itself . As expected, she saw a trident hook on the right of its sharp teeth . The circulation of spiritual energy could be faintly felt from it as well . It was actually a low rank mystic artifact .

“Don’t move, I will help you get it out . ” Zhu Yao leapt up and entered the demonic beast’s mouth .

This scene had completely frightened the group behind who could not hear their conversation .

“Grandma!” Little Bai simply felt a bell ringing in his mind, and everything was blank . That demonic beast actually ate grandma!

Profiteer was dumbfounded as well . Though he had once seen junior-martial sister Yu tame a demonic beast, he had never seen such a situation where she was obviously serving herself as food!

Little Bai pulled out his sword and charged towards the demonic beast .

Before he had even reached the demonic beast, he heard the demonic beast letting out a cry of pain! A pillar of blood was shot out from the corner of its mouth like a geyser . In the next moment, Zhu Yao walked out of that demonic beast’s mouth, in her hands were a trident hook mystic artifact and… a white tooth!

Little Bai’s feet stopped, his face was filled with shock . He could faintly hear grandma speaking to that demonic beast .

“I’m sorry, I used quite a bit of force, and ended up pulling too much . ” In truth, she was dizzy from its bad breath, and for a moment, she could not clearly see that she actually pulling onto a tooth as well . “Yo, little tyrant, why are you here?”

Bai Zhiyuan: “… Grandma . ” Why did he feel as if he was being played for a fool?

With the thorn… and tooth gone from the beastie’s mouth, the pain instantly dissipated . In an instant, the beast felt refreshed .

It excitedly bounced around, shaking the earth . Then, it showed Zhu Yao a grin, revealing a beautiful hole in its set of teeth . Lowering its head, it rubbed against Zhu Yao, letting out the signature cutesy sound in the beast realm . “Meow~~~”

Mn . If not because air was slipping out of its teeth, its intonation would have been more perfect .

“She has tamed that demonic beast . ” Profiteer said with an excited look .

The group then heaved a sigh of relief, before carefully approaching Zhu Yao . Even Zhao Li who was on the ground began to crawl up, and he looked at Zhu Yao with a greedy look . “Junior-martial sister Yu… Hurry, hurry and have this demonic beast enter the spiritual beast pouch . With it captured, the rewards we receive will most likely double . ”

Zhu Yao frowned, as she looked towards Profiteer . “You guys want to bring it back?”

Profiteer was a little awkward as well . “The mission simply stated to deal with this demonic beast, and prevent it from harassing the nearby practitioners again . ”

“This is a fourth rank demonic beast!” Zhao Li continued . “The disciples who bring it back to the sect will be heavily rewarded . Even if we don’t bring it back now, since it’s already tamed, anyone can form a contract with it . It will definitely sell for a good price . ”

Zhu Yao frowned . Why did she feel so irritated?
