Chapter 179: Panic

"Careful!"

Snow Luo Sha reminded him somewhat nervously, shouting: "Lord Wenguan Hou, if it runs, let it run. Don't go chasing it; be careful of traps."

Before she had even finished speaking, Lv Fang had already disappeared.

Outside the cave.

The green-skinned exotic beast, having regained its senses, fled with all its might toward the direction of the colorful snow mountain. That place was filled with unknown dangers, and it was also the place it had come from.

However, in its view, that place was not just dangerous; it also had a sense of safety and belonging like home.

So the moment it felt something was wrong, the only thought in its heart was to go back.

If time could be turned back, it would definitely not have entered the cave.

The green-skinned exotic beast fled with all its might to the top of the mountain, looked at the endless colorful snow mountain, and without any hesitation, jumped down directly from the mountain peak.

When Lv Fang chased over, it had just jumped down.

This time, he did not jump down to continue the pursuit; it was too dangerous. Who knew what kind of existence was below? Just like Snow Luo Sha said, if there were traps, he wouldn't be surprised at all.

If this weren't a snow mountain, if there weren't Extreme Yin Qi.

Lv Fang might have jumped down without looking back, but this was not just a snow mountain; the Extreme Yin Qi below was also significantly denser. So for this jump, he didn't know what would happen, and thus he stopped.

One minute later.

Snow Luo Sha finally caught up, panting. Seeing Lv Fang standing on the edge of the mountain peak, she couldn't help but chuckle and say: "Fortunately, you are fine. Did that green-skinned exotic beast run down?"

Lv Fang nodded slightly, stretched out his finger to point at the claw marks on the mountain wall of the snow mountain, and analyzed:

"It should have come up from here before. Just now it jumped down directly; it will probably get injured. I don't know what the specific situation is, so I didn't jump down to chase."

Snow Luo Sha stood side-by-side with Lv Fang, carefully looking down at the claw marks on the mountain wall, and nodded: "Lord Wenguan Hou, it is truly fortunate that you didn't jump down."

"The bottom of this snow mountain is very dangerous, and with the strength of the Sixth Rank, Third Stage, I'm afraid you would be trapped below and unable to climb back up."

"Anyway, we are fine, so let it run."

"It seems that in the future, we must have people specially stationed here to prevent exotic beasts below from climbing up directly from here to launch sneak attacks."

"If it weren't for the Lord Wenguan Hou being here today, I'm afraid Pan and I would have been in grave danger."

Lv Fang sighed and asked doubtfully: "You also know that this place below is an unexplored area and exists with danger. Why not have people stationed here?"

Snow Luo Sha shook her head and smiled bitterly: "At the beginning, there were indeed people stationed here. However, after we cleared away all the dangers near the cave, there had never been an incident of being sneak-attacked by exotic beasts."

"There wasn't even a shadow of an exotic beast."

"Everything was safe, so the Luo Sha stationed here were withdrawn. I didn't expect that an exotic beast would appear today."

Just as Lv Fang and Snow Luo Sha were conversing, several figures quickly fled toward this side. After getting close, they discovered it was the reinforcements Pan had brought.

"Your Highness Snow, you aren't injured, are you? It is our fault for arriving late. I heard that an exotic beast sneak-attacked you just now. Where is it now?"

The white-bearded Luo Sha elder in the lead asked.

Snow Luo Sha organized her language and very carefully explained the ins and outs of what had just happened. At the end, she reminded: "Since an exotic beast climbed up from the mountain peak today to sneak-attack us."

"In the future, when people come into the snow mountain to cultivate, should we also have a portion of people stationed here to prevent the previous incident from happening again?"

The white-bearded Luo Sha elder nodded and said: "I will report this matter to the Luo Sha King. This matter is also somewhat abnormal. I want to ask the Lord Wenguan Hou, why did the exotic beast want an item on you?"

"That's right!" Pan suddenly realized upon hearing this.

Just now, he had always felt something was not quite right. Now that he thought about it, it seemed it was the existence of the Lord Wenguan Hou that had attracted the green-skinned exotic beast.

Snow Luo Sha also couldn't help but look at Lv Fang; she was also somewhat doubtful.

Just now, she was preoccupied with saying other things and hadn't asked what exactly was going on. She was still very curious about the reason.

Lv Fang spread his hands and smiled bitterly, saying: "I also cannot explain it to you, because I am also somewhat confused myself. I was meeting that green-skinned exotic beast for the first time; I don't know what exactly it wanted from me."

The white-bearded Luo Sha elder frowned. He didn't like Lv Fang's answer. Just as he was about to pursue the questioning, Snow Luo Sha preempted him:

"Perhaps it is a language problem of that exotic beast. Its meaning should have been threatening words like wanting the Lord Wenguan Hou's life."

Lv Fang smiled helplessly and said: "It really does sound a bit like that meaning, because I truly don't know what I have on me that an exotic beast would want."

The white-bearded Luo Sha elder's pair of somewhat turbid eyes suddenly became bright. He stared at Lv Fang, as if wanting to see through his heart.

Lv Fang raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't like this feeling of being scrutinized and said stiffly: "How about it? You think this is not right? Then I want to hear what you think that green-skinned exotic beast wanted from me?"

The white-bearded Luo Sha elder shook his head and said: "Lord Wenguan Hou has misunderstood. I have no malice; it's just that a powerful exotic beast appeared here and took the initiative to launch a sneak attack. This situation is the first time, so I am being a bit more rigorous."

Snow Luo Sha saw the situation was not right and smoothed things over: "Lord Wenguan Hou, let's go. Since there are already people here to keep watch, let's not waste time. Let's go into the cave to continue cultivating."

"Fine."

Lv Fang replied, but he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he supplemented the white-bearded Luo Sha with the specific situation of the green-skinned exotic beast.

After doing all this, he then followed Snow Luo Sha toward the inside of the cave.

He appeared to be responding very calmly, and no one could pick out any flaws in it. However, Lv Fang was actually somewhat panicked in his heart, only he didn't show it.

The reason he was panicked was because of the existence of the Demon Heart.

After thinking about it carefully, he believed that the sudden attack by the green-skinned exotic beast had a very high possibility of being related to the Demon Heart on him.

The green-skinned exotic beast wanted an item on him; it was likely the Demon Heart.

Could the Demon Heart truly call upon an existence like the green-skinned exotic beast? And could it make it fall into a berserk state without anyone knowing?

All of this made Lv Fang somewhat panicked.

Because he had previously thought that not using the Demon Heart would be fine. Now it seemed it was much more powerful than he had imagined.

After getting this answer, he really didn't want to believe it and tried to use various assumptions to refute his own viewpoint, but he discovered it wouldn't work.

There was only this one possibility; there were no others. ===== CHAPTER 180 =====
