Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 255: Chapter 125: Thunder God Pearl and the Red Clothed Enigma

Apart from the morning glow and the afterglow of the setting sun, everything looked calm, with no signs of human voices or the presence of Spiritual Beasts.

”It’s best to avoid this airspace.” Ye Lingyue’s spiritual power wasn’t enough for her to detect any ambush ahead. Still, she had a premonition that unknown dangers were waiting for them.

”But to head to the Kuocang Mountain Range, we must fly over that area,” Boss He said, on alert.

Although the Six Great Forces had already allied to open the Taiyi Secret Realm together, no one could guarantee that there weren’t people with ulterior motives laying in ambush along the way, ready to snatch others’ maps.

”Then we have no choice but to take the risk and explore. When we fly over that region later, we must use Primordial Power to protect our bodies.” Ye Lingyue commanded the Red Electric Eagle beneath her, speeding to the full.

Just when Ye Lingyue and the others had flown about a mile out, the sky underwent a strange change.

From within the clouds, a faint thunderous noise emerged, and bolts of Thunderflash streaked across the previously silent and still clear sky.

Countless Thunderflashes, like gnarled roots of an old tree, struck one after another towards the Red Electric Eagle’s head.

One of the bolts, as thick as a baby’s arm and purple in color, struck the Red Electric Eagle beneath Ye Lingyue.

At the same time, several Thunderflashes attacked Boss He and Third Brother He.

The Thunder Mountain Power was swift and fierce. The unguarded Red Electric Eagle was immediately struck to pieces, turning into balls of fire and falling from the sky.

Boss He was the first to react, gathering a mouthful of Primordial Power and levitating in the air.

Third Brother He quickly followed. Barely managing to stabilize their positions in mid-air, it was fortunate that Ye Lingyue had reminded them in advance to protect themselves with Primordial Power, or they too would have been injured.

”Not good, Thirteenth Young Master!” Both He brothers were experts in the Reincarnation Realm and could fly in the air for a short time. But Ye Lingyue was different. Being merely an Innate Expert, at such an altitude, she might not even have the chance to take Elixir Pills, let alone fall to her death from the sky.

As the He brothers were in shock, they suddenly saw a flash of sword light. Ye Lingyue was stepping on a brightly glowing Dagger, gliding over with Little Zhiyo in her arms and Little Wuya following by her side.

The He brothers’ eyes lit up as they looked collectively at the Star Saliva Dagger under Ye Lingyue’s feet. ”Who would have thought that Thirteenth Young Master’s ability to control objects had reached the level of flying with artifacts?”

They had heard that with high-level Alchemist Cultivation, one could control items of various sizes and traverse the sky. Seeing this today, it was indeed as acclaimed.

Ever since Ye Lingyue was ambushed by Nangong Qinglin in the Alchemist Tower, she had the intention to learn to fly by Controlling Objects. Previously, with the Dragon Saliva Needle, it was too small and difficult to control for flying.

After refining the Star Saliva, she had the foresight to experiment a few times, unexpectedly with success.

Now, controlling the Star Saliva, she could fly for about fifteen minutes, roughly equivalent to the effect of taking half a Flying Elixir.

”The two of you, this area has been embedded with Thunderstorm Power. Flying in the air is very dangerous. Let’s travel on the ground instead.”

Ye Lingyue had initially thought there were ambushers in this area. Now it seemed that someone had just buried a powerful Spiritual Artifact in the airspace, which could attract the Thunder Power between heaven and earth.

Anyone flying through this area, regardless of their cultivation level, would be struck to the point of their souls scattering.

However, as long as they left the sky and walked on the ground, they should be able to avoid it.

Since their Red Electric Eagles had already been killed by lightning, and they were not far from the Kuocang Mountain, walking on the ground would take at most an extra two or three days. After weighing their options, the He brothers agreed with Ye Lingyue’s suggestion, and the three of them decided to take the land route.

Fortunately, the three of them had brought some dry food and fresh water with them.

Ye Lingyue and the two brothers from the He Family landed on the ground and walked toward the vast mountains.

Shortly after the trio left, a fiery red cloud in the sky was rapidly moving in this direction.

It wasn’t until the cloud drew closer that it could be seen not as a cloud at all, but a red-clothed woman.

”Hey, I clearly felt some movement from the Thunder God Pearl just now; how come when I turn around, there’s not even a single hair to be found?”

She was a rather enchanting red-clothed woman with an oval face, almond-shaped eyes like a fox’s, finely drawn slim eyebrows, and skin so translucent and soft that it seemed like it would ooze water if pinched, and her long, slender figure was complemented by her jet-black hair casually draped over her shoulders.

She wore a robe even more vibrant than fire, adorned with a vermillion mole on her forehead.

With a wave of her hand and a flick of her wide sleeve, a bead the size of a Luminous Pearl emerged from the clouds and landed in her hand.

The bead contained Thunder Power, which danced ceaselessly around the Crystal Pear within.

This was an Earth Level Spiritual Treasure, the Thunder God Pearl. The woman had already killed many in this vicinity, including obtaining a fragment of the Taiyi Secret Realm Map from the hands of some members of the Sun Worship Sect.

She had been lurking in this area for so long to rob more maps.

Who knew it would be five or six days before Ye Lingyue and the others arrived, and unfortunately for her, Ye Lingyue was very vigilant and had taken precautions, allowing them to escape.

The woman pocketed the Pearl and gracefully landed on the ground.

Looking at the traces in the grass where people had walked, the woman’s flame-like red lips curled slightly.

”It seems a few fish slipped through the net; no matter, it’s been a while since I’ve played a game of cat and mouse. One, two, three, a total of three little mice.”

With a silver bell-like laugh, the woman levitated and, like a ghost, pursued in the direction where Ye Lingyue and the others had vanished.

The mountain roads were rugged, and without their Flying Beast, Ye Lingyue and the He brothers didn’t find a place to stay until nightfall.

”This area is the outer periphery of the Kuocang Mountain Range. There are only some small third and fourth-stage Spiritual Beasts. I’ll go and find some food, Third Brother and Thirteenth Young Master, you guys rest here for a while.” Boss He instructed before diving into the mountain forest.

Once the fire was lit, Boss He returned with several wild chickens and rabbits.

Ye Lingyue also pretended to go out and search, bringing back some fresh fruit and a few fish.

”Who would have thought that in such deep and ancient forests, there would be such delicious fruits and live fish.” After eating the fruits and fish, both Boss He and Third Brother He couldn’t stop marveling.

Little did they know that these fruits and fish had been exchanged by Ye Lingyue with Spirit Fruits and fish from the Hong Meng Heaven.

The smell of the roasted fish drifted far away.

Even Little Zhiyo couldn’t resist and gobbled up two fish that were bigger than itself, ending up with a round, bloated belly, unable to move on Ye Lingyue’s lap.

Suddenly, Ye Lingyue heard a strange sound.

That sound, gurgling, was it the sound of a rumbling stomach?
