Chapter 515: Finding the Culprit, It Turns Out to Be a Spirit‑Eating Beast

Jiang Chen did not choose to use the Teleportation Array.

At present, Yue Dapeng's condition is quite similar to the poisoning of Zuo Ling'er earlier, and even more severe.

In this situation, he could not possibly endure the tearing force of the Teleportation Array.

Jiang Chen could only choose to fly with him, and the speed could not be too fast.

He wrapped Yue Dapeng with his own power to keep the cold wind in the air from disturbing him, and flew toward Shenlong University.

Before leaving the bounds of Baiyun City, a person rose into the air and blocked Jiang Chen's path.

"Imperial decree, Anti-Fly over the City sky."

The newcomer wore a suit of armor, clearly a soldier of the Legion.

From the rank insignia on the armor, the person is a Four-Star Lieutenant.

Jiang Chen at this moment did not want to waste words with him, and directly took out his own rank Badge and wore it on his shoulder.

The golden Divine General Badge shimmered with dazzling light against the night.

The three stars on it were even more radiant.

The Lieutenant, seeing this, immediately stood at attention and saluted, "Baiyun City Garrison, Four-Star Lieutenant Zhao Ming, reporting to the Divine General."

Jiang Chen nodded, "I have urgent matters, withdraw quickly."

Zhao Ming would not dare to block a Divine General; the disparity in their statuses was vast, and they did not hesitate to clear the way.

Jiang Chen continued to fly with Yue Dapeng toward Shenlong University.

Zhao Ming, seeing Jiang Chen depart, just breathed a sigh of relief, but then saw him suddenly stop.

Because he was carrying Yue Dapeng, Jiang Chen's speed could not be too fast, staying around 120 km per hour.

The straight-line distance from Baiyun City to Shenlong City is about 2,200 km; he would need to fly nearly 18 hours to arrive.

Along the way, he would pass several cities,

and might encounter other obstructions.

Moreover, if Yue Dapeng had to sit like this for nearly 18 hours, it would likely be very uncomfortable for him.

Jiang Chen turned to Zhao Ming and said, "I recall the Garrison should have equipped flying warships, right?"

Zhao Ming replied, "Yes, but they are not within Baiyun City; they are at the provincial Legion's base."

Jiang Chen nodded, "You depart immediately, take my order, and bring a flying warship over."

The Human Race also possesses flying warships; although their performance lags behind that of the Dragon Race, they are already sufficiently excellent as transport.

In the military, a Divine General's order carries the highest authority; Zhao Ming did not hesitate at all and immediately took the command.

He was not a dull person; merely from Jiang Chen's order, he had already guessed part of the situation.

He used the military's Teleportation Array to swiftly arrive at the provincial Legion's base; soon, a flying warship rose into the air and sped toward Baiyun City.

Yue Dapeng said gratefully, "Jiang Chen, you are becoming more and more impressive."

Jiang Chen smiled, "No matter how impressive, you are still my classmate. Once your injuries heal, I will take you into Shenlong University. In the future, you will certainly become a powerful professional."

Encouraged by Jiang Chen, Yue Dapeng's eyes flashed with a hint of expectation, "Shenlong University—can an ordinary person like me get in?"

Jiang Chen said firmly, "If I say you can, you can."

He believed that as long as he asked, Shenlong University would certainly grant him the favor.

There are indeed historical precedents; even if a price must be paid, Jiang Chen has resolved to send Yue Dapeng into Shenlong

University.

Soon after, a warship appeared in the night sky.

Jiang Chen boarded the warship with Yue Dapeng; as a Four-Star Divine General, he naturally became the ship's commander.

The warship activated its shield, keeping the gale outside.

The warship flew at top speed toward Shenlong University.

At the warship's speed, it would not take long to reach Shenlong University.

During the journey, Jiang Chen had already contacted Chu Yao; he hoped to meet the Medicine God.

In terms of treating injuries, among the All-Human Race only Medicine God Shu is capable.

Moreover, the Medicine God has a connection with the Divine-level Healer; having him intervene is more effective than Jiang Chen speaking himself.

Even if a price must be paid, Jiang Chen must save Yue Dapeng.

About an hour later, a flying ship stopped at the edge of Shenlong City.

Zhao Ming said, "Sir, we cannot proceed further; local warships are prohibited from entering the capital during peacetime."

Jiang Chen understood the rule, "Thank you for your effort."

Zhao Ming quickly shook his head, "It's no trouble; serving Divine General Jiang is my honor."

Jiang Chen nodded, "Thanks!"

After speaking, he took Yue Dapeng off the warship and flew toward Shenlong University.

Just upon entering Shenlong City's area, city garrison troops greeted them.

The sky over Shenlong City is Anti-Fly, of course, this does not include a Divine General like Jiang Chen.

A Divine General is the Shenlong Empire's highest military commander, equal in status to a Divine-level Strongman, and enjoys many privileges.

Free soaring over the city sky is one such privilege.

Jiang Chen proceeded without obstruction and landed directly in front of Shenlong University's gate.

Chu Yao was already waiting there and immediately went with Jiang Chen to the Medicine God's residence.

Medicine God

The Medicine God had also received Chu Yao's message and was waiting early in the residence.

Not only Medicine God Shu, Li Xueru also came upon hearing the news.

Jiang Chen specifically informed him, detailing Yue Dapeng's condition, which aroused Li Xueru's great interest.

"I've met the teacher, I've met Chu Medicine God," Jiang Chen pushed the wheelchair over.

Yue Dapeng's complexion bore an abnormal pallor, and his heart raced with excitement.

He had encountered a true great figure, the sole Medicine God of the Human Race today, the legendary Ru God.

This was something he had never dared to imagine even in his dreams.

Yue Dapeng even felt a sense of having no regrets in this life.

Jiang Chen recounted Yue Dapeng's ordeal in meticulous detail, matching exactly what Yue Dapeng himself had said.

Chu Medicine God and Li Xueru, after hearing it, began to examine Yue Dapeng carefully.

Yue Dapeng's severed arm had long healed, leaving only a scar that looked somewhat frightening.

According to Yue Dapeng, it had been like this the moment he was injured.

After a round of examination, Li Xueru said softly, "From the surface, there seems to be no abnormality."

As he spoke, a beam of light gathered at his fingertip and gently fell onto Yue Dapeng.

Yue Dapeng's vitality instantly surged.

However, just as before, after reaching its peak it quickly plummeted to the bottom.

Chu Medicine God also produced a bottle of medicine for Yue Dapeng to take.

Yue Dapeng's vitality surged again, then fell rapidly once more.

"How peculiar," Li Xueru muttered, unable to grasp it.

Chu Medicine God said, "It seems there is a bottomless pit inside him, constantly Devouring his vitality. No matter how much vitality he has, it can be sucked dry in an instant."

Li Xueru nodded, "If we judge by its Devour speed,

it could instantly turn Yue Dapeng into a dry corpse, yet why does it allow him to stay alive until now?"

"Could it be that it wishes for a slow, steady flow?"

At this point, Li Xueru suddenly lifted his head and locked eyes with Chu Medicine God.

Their thoughts aligned perfectly.

Chu Medicine God said, "Since that's the case, we shall lure it out."

Li Xueru smiled faintly, "Very well, let it manifest and see what kind of deity it truly is."

Li Xueru waved his palm lightly, and a tall Tower rose from nowhere, hovering in midair.

The Shenlong Tower emitted a gentle glow, enveloping Yue Dapeng within.

Jiang Chen clearly sensed that Yue Dapeng's soul showed signs of leaving the body.

The Shenlong Tower was attempting to extract Yue Dapeng's soul.

However, because Yue Dapeng was still alive, the soul was not easy to pull out.

At that moment, Chu Medicine God took out a bottle of medicine and handed it to Yue Dapeng, "Child, drink this medicine, have a good sleep, and everything will be fine when you wake up."

After drinking the medicine, Yue Dapeng's body trembled slightly, his eyes slowly closed, and he fell into a deep slumber.

Moreover, his breathing ceased.

To outsiders, Yue Dapeng appeared to be dead.

Had Jiang Chen not sensed that Yue Dapeng's soul still existed, he would probably have mistaken him for having passed away.

Chu Medicine God explained, "This medicine can put Yue Dapeng into a pseudo-death state."

Jiang Chen immediately grasped Chu Medicine God's intention, nodded and said, "Junior understands."

Just as Yue Dapeng had been in the pseudo-death state for less than ten seconds, a strange force suddenly emerged.

It pounced on Yue Dapeng's soul the moment it appeared, attempting to Devour the soul as it would Devour vitality.

Li Xueru

Xueru had been waiting for a long time, he let out a light laugh, the Shenlong Tower buzzed, and instantly extracted Yue Dapeng's soul.

Yue Dapeng's soul appeared as a transparent, petite form, only the size of a fist.

Bathed in the Shenlong Tower's light, Yue Dapeng's soul left his body and flew into the tower.

Immediately after, another transparent object flew out.

The object resembled a small cat, also only palm-sized.

It was entirely ethereal, its face grimacing.

"Hold!"

At Li Xueru's command, the Shenlong Tower emitted another beam, fixing the "little cat" in midair.

The little cat kept emitting Scream, struggling wildly.

However, under the Shenlong Tower's light, its struggle was futile.

Jiang Chen didn't know what it was, but he knew deeply that this little creature had caused Yue Dapeng's current state.

The mastermind finally revealed its true face.

Chu Medicine God said softly, "What is this? I have never seen it before."

He was about to step forward to examine it closely, when he heard Li Xueru shout, "Old Chu, caution first; do not approach lightly!"

Chu Medicine God's heart trembled, "Xueru God, do you recognize this thing?"

Li Xueru's face was terrifyingly grim at that moment, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a Food Spirit Beast. I didn't expect it to appear in this world again."

Hearing the words Food Spirit Beast, Chu Medicine God's expression instantly grew solemn.
