Chapter 312

Then they could be safe for a while.

"If that's the case, then there really are spirit herbs here!" Lu Hua nodded.

Yet he still revealed a fearful expression.

"However, I've heard that Golden-rank phantom beasts roam around here!"

"With our Silver Tier 7 strength, if we run into a Golden-rank phantom beast!" "I'm afraid even fighting together we wouldn't be its match!" Lu Hua said worriedly.

"Idiot, fortune favors the bold!"

"If we don't take risks, how are we supposed to get those spirit herbs!" Wang Lang cursed, somewhat frustrated that his companion was failing to live up to expectations.

Then he laughed again.

"Besides, don't forget about my Aura-Shielding Lizard!"

"With it, even a Golden-rank phantom beast might not necessarily detect us!"

Wang Lang laughed as he looked at a giant lizard beside him.

Its body flickered in and out of sight.

Its aura was faint and indistinct.

Clearly, it was a phantom beast skilled at concealment.

"That's true too. With big brother's phantom beast, we should be very safe!"

"As long as we don't actively provoke those Golden-rank phantom beasts, we'll be fine!"

Seeing the Aura-Shielding Lizard, Wang Lang finally laughed with relief.

The two laughed and walked toward the depths of the forest.

"B-big brother!"

"Q-quick, look!"

"It's Purple Flame Flowers!"

Suddenly, Lu Hua's voice came through, tinged with a hint of trembling and excitement.

About a hundred meters away from him, a patch of purple flame-like flowers was growing over there.

There were a dozen or more of them.

"Th-this is a Tier 2 spirit herb, Purple Flame Flowers!"

Seeing those dozen-plus spirit herbs,

Wang Lang was overjoyed at once.

"We're rich, we're rich this time!"

"One Tier 2 spirit herb can sell for seventy or eighty thousand. Added together, these spirit herbs can sell for at least a million!"

"This time, we're really rich!"

Wang Lang grew excited.

Just as he was about to move forward,

Lu Hua blocked his body!

"W-wait, big brother, look at that!"

Just a short distance from the Purple Flame Flowers,

a giant golden lion,

three or four meters tall and seven or eight meters long, was prowling around over there.

Looking at its appearance,

it was clearly guarding that patch of Purple Flame Flowers. "It's a Golden Lion!"

Wang Lang and Lu Hua covered their own mouths.

To stop themselves from shouting out.

The Golden Lion.

Its entire body resembled gold.

A fully grown Golden Lion could certainly reach the Golden low-tier rank. "Damn, it seems to have spotted us!"

Wang Lang and Lu Hua realized in horror that the Golden Lion seemed to have already looked toward them. "Run!"

"No, we can't run at such a short distance!" "It will definitely catch up to us!" "Aura-Shielding Lizard!" The next moment! That giant lizard unleashed a burst of light.

In an instant, it enveloped Wang Lang and Lu Hua's bodies.

As for the other phantom beasts, they were all recalled. "Don't panic, let's not make a sound, don't move!" "Then it won't be able to detect us!"

"We just need to wait until it leaves, then go take those Purple Flame Flowers!" Wang Lang whispered to Lu Hua.

Then!

The two held their breath and concentrated.

Roar!

However, just at that moment!

The Golden Lion let out a roar.

The next moment!

A burst of lightning-wreathed light enveloped their entire concealed area. "Not good, I forgot about the Golden Lion's area-of-effect attack!" Wang Lang cried out inwardly in dismay.

The next moment!

He discovered that he, Lu Hua, and their phantom beasts, after being struck by the Golden Lion's attack,

their bodies were paralyzed, and they couldn't even issue commands. "Roar!"

And the Golden Lion, wearing a savage grin, walked toward them. "We're done for!"

"Can't believe that for a little money, he actually went and got himself killed!" At this very moment!

Wang Lang and Lu Hua (Wang's) were utterly filled with regret.

They closed their eyes in despair.

Roar!

But the next second!

The attack did not come.

They heard the golden lion seemingly let out a sound of fear.

Thump thump thump!

The sound of light footsteps came drifting over.

They opened their eyes.

To their shock, a man clad in black armor was slowly walking over.

On his shoulders stood two strange little phantom beasts.

And as the black-armored man advanced, the golden lion—

—actually retreated step by step.

It was actually afraid.

Ao!

Then!

It let out a sharp cry.

And actually fled as if it were flying.

Not even caring about those dozen-plus Purple Blaze Flowers.

Fear had overcome its appetite. "Big shot!"

Wang Lang and Lu Hua were both greatly shocked.

To be able to make a gold-rank phantom beast flee with mere presence—

—was clearly a big shot.

"Could it be that he's also here for those Purple Blaze Flowers!" The two quickly realized.

Otherwise, why would this big shot show up here?

Just as they were thinking this!

They saw that big shot actually just walk right past the Purple Blaze Flowers.

What's more!

One of them was even crushed under his foot. "B-big shot!"
