Chapter 488

Looking at the burnt-out campfire, Zhang Yun looked sleepy.

"Is it dawn?" she asked in a low voice.

"It's been dawn for a long time, hurry up and pack, we're setting off!" Zhang Qing said.

Zhao Xiong also nodded and said, "That's right, let's hurry, find the spiritual herb, and leave here as soon as possible!"

"Mm? Boss, why are you in such a hurry?" Qian Lu asked in surprise.

Zhao Xiong glanced at him and sighed, "I feel that something is wrong here."

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yun immediately became nervous.

She was the youngest and also the most timid.

Hearing this, she immediately became nervous.

"Last night, it was too quiet! Since we entered the mountain these days, every time we rested, there were demonic beasts lurking nearby; although most didn't dare to make a move, they would still torment us a bit!"

Zhao Xiong recalled the scene from a few days ago, his brows locked.

"But, for the entire night yesterday, not even half a demonic beast appeared!"

Zhang Yun blinked and asked in confusion, "No demonic beasts, isn't that a good thing?"

Zhao Xiong snorted and said, "What do you know? When something unusual happens, there must be a monster! What kind of place is this? This is a paradise for demonic beasts; not seeing a demonic beast for a whole night is definitely not normal!"

Qian Lu said in a low voice, "Boss, you have the most experience, what do you think is the situation?"

Zhao Xiong took a deep breath and said, "I suspect that there is a powerful monster in this mountain range now! One that makes all demonic beasts avoid it!"

Zhang Qing said in shock, "Legend has it that there are a few demonic beasts at the Return to Ruins Realm in this mountain range, right? Is the monster you're talking about even stronger than them?"

Zhao Xiong nodded and said, "I'm afraid so! I think that monster is at least at the Tribulation Crossing Realm... or even the Nirvana Realm, who knows!"

Hearing this, everyone felt a chill.

"Boss, why don't we retreat?" Qian Lu said nervously.

The others also echoed.

However, Zhao Xiong shook his head and said, "Don't be in a hurry for now, let's look a bit more! We'll search until noon today, and if we still don't find anything, we'll retreat!"

"Okay!" everyone said in unison.

Luo Tian, listening to the other party's words from the side, felt a bit curious and looked around, but didn't feel the aura of any powerful demonic beasts.

"The monster they're talking about... could it be me?" he muttered to himself.

After this, the group clearly quickened their pace.

However, after walking back and forth in the mountain forest, they only found some low-grade spiritual herbs.

Seeing the sun getting higher and higher, everyone's mood began to become anxious.

"Damn it, are we going to give up?" Zhao Xiong gritted his teeth, his face full of unwillingness.

If they couldn't find it in these few days, they would have to wait for next year's assessment.

But just then, Luo Tian suddenly said, "There should be a spiritual herb in that direction."

"Mm? Brother Tian, how do you know?" Zhao asked in surprise.

Luo Tian said indifferently, "The spiritual energy fluctuations there are unusual."

To prevent being discovered, Luo Tian deliberately suppressed his soul power.

After breaking through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, he had already succeeded in completely containing his soul power within his body.

Of course, if he released his soul power, the range would be even wider.

This time, he really just felt that the spiritual energy fluctuations in that direction were a bit strong.

"Okay, let's go take a look!" Zhao Xiong said.

Although he didn't believe there was really a spiritual herb there.

But, he would treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

The group walked forward for another distance, and the concentration of spiritual energy around them began to gradually become rich.

"Everyone, it seems it's true..." At this moment, everyone had noticed that Luo Tian's judgment seemed to be correct.

This concentration of spiritual energy was very abnormal.

This was definitely a sign that a high-grade spiritual herb would appear.

Sure enough, after walking for another distance, by a spiritual spring, the few saw a golden spiritual herb right in the spring water.

Around the spiritual herb, spiritual light flickered.

With every surge of spiritual light, spiritual energy gushed out.

Zhao Xiong looked at the spiritual herb, swallowed hard, and said, "This... is actually a Grade Five spiritual herb?"

Coming into the mountain this time, he would have thanked heaven and earth if he could get a Grade Four spiritual herb.

He didn't expect to see a Grade Five spiritual herb!

This was truly too unexpected!

"Grade Five spiritual herb? Doesn't that mean it can be exchanged for five spots? If we have five assessment spots?" Qian Lu said, his gaze looking at Luo Tian beside him.

Luo Tian spread his hands and said, "I have no use for this thing, you guys can divide it yourselves."

Indeed, a Grade Five spiritual herb was a treasure outside.

But in Bianbei City...

They were all over the vegetable garden.

Luo Tian really didn't care.

"Many thanks, Brother Tian!"

The group was instantly overjoyed.

If Luo Tian gave it up, that meant all five of them would have the opportunity to participate in the Wind-Riding Sect's assessment.

But just then...

"Mm?" Luo Tian raised an eyebrow and turned to look.

The next instant, he saw a burst of energy strike from the direction he was looking, landing in front of Zhao Xiong.

"Who is it?" Zhao Xiong was startled and immediately took half a step back.

At this moment, he saw a few figures walking over slowly.

"Haha, it really took no effort to find it after breaking through iron shoes! I didn't expect that we would find a Grade Five spiritual herb just after entering here! What good luck!"

Following this sentence, four people walked in front of Luo Tian and the others.

"Jing Chen? It's you..." Zhao saw the other party, his expression changing slightly.

And Zhang Qing and Zhang Yun went to grab their weapons the next instant.

"What's going on?" Luo Tian looked at the two and asked in surprise.

"Brother Tian, this Jing Chen is from a hostile faction; this guy, relying on his powerful strength, often bullies us! Brother Zhao Xiong's younger brother had his feet crippled by this guy and is still disabled!" Zhang Qing said in a low voice.

Luo Tian then understood that they had run into an enemy.

At this moment, Zhao Xiong looked at Jing Chen, anger rising in his eyes.

And Jing Chen had a smile on his face.

"What? You trash, do you also want to end up disabled like your brother? I can fulfill your wish!" Jing Chen said, tapping his toes and floating slowly into the sky.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Xiong and the others were all stunned.

"What? You've reached the Sky Soaring Realm?" Zhao Xiong said in shock.

Originally, Jing Chen's strength was at the 9th stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

With that, he had already firmly suppressed Zhao Xiong and the others.

Now, this guy had actually reached the Sky Soaring Realm.

The gap between them was too large.

"Haha, not bad! I just broke through not long ago! Come to think of it, I still have to thank your trash brother; if it weren't for the pill I snatched from him after defeating him back then, my breakthrough might have taken another period of time!" Jing Chen said proudly.

"You bastard!"

Zhao Xiong was repeatedly provoked by him, killing intent rising in his eyes, and he finally couldn't hold back.

Boom!

The next instant, he rushed over directly, swung the stick in his hand, and smashed it toward Jing Chen.
