Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 933: Chapter 932: Directionally Challenged (3 updates)

Ye Haochuan certainly wouldn’t waste ten days of his time idly in the territory of the Tree People Clan. After pondering for a moment, he asked Zhu Qingshuang for her opinion.

”Staying here is pretty pointless, isn’t it?” Zhu Qingshuang, who had mostly recovered, immediately retorted.

Ye Haochuan nodded, but then his lips curved into a mischievous smile, and he asked Elder Qinglei: ”Elder Qinglei, I was wondering if there are any rare and precious treasures or the like in your area that we could go and explore?”

Upon hearing this, Elder Qinglei’s expression stiffened, and he said solemnly, ”Rare treasures here? We only have some resources for our youngsters to cultivate, which can’t just be given away to anyone.”

Damn, did you have to be so blunt?

Ye Haochuan inwardly sneered, seeing right through Qinglei. This guy was incredibly generous with his own clan, but when it came to outsiders, he was as stingy as could be.

No, saying he’s stingy doesn’t quite cover it, given that allowing us to come here alive is already them showing extraordinary grace.

Realizing the situation, Ye Haochuan knew that hoping to gain any advantages from the Fragrant Leek Thunder Tree People was impossible. Well, it looked like they would have to go and search elsewhere.

After discussing with Zhu Qingshuang for a moment, they finally decided to leave first and come back after ten days to pick up Yige.

”That ... when we come next time, we won’t get struck by lightning again, right?” Ye Haochuan asked timidly before leaving.

The ”Heavenly Thunder Strike” from a few hours ago had left Ye Haochuan feeling apprehensive, and he certainly didn’t want to experience that again.

”Rest assured, I will have them remember your appearances!” Elder Qinglei explained.

”This... doesn’t sound very reliable, right? What if I change clothes or get a scratch on my face, and they don’t recognize me, won’t I still get struck by lightning?” Ye Haochuan frowned and said.

Elder Qinglei couldn’t help but furrow his eyebrows and look at Ye Haochuan with some disdain. Are all humans as fussy as you?

”Forget it, I’ll give you an item instead.”

With that said, Elder Qinglei took out a thin iron rod from nowhere and handed it to Ye Haochuan. ”As long as you come holding this rod, they will be able to recognize you.”

Motherfu— A rod? And I have to hold it over my head too? Isn’t this just a lightning rod? Doesn’t this thing have a ridiculous ability to attract lightning?

Ye Haochuan was utterly disheartened and asked, ”Isn’t this bit too crude? What if someone else copies it?”

”Copies?”

Elder Qinglei obviously had no idea what copying meant, and Ye Haochuan patiently explained it to him.

”I am a Core Formation Stage expert, you know? You think I would give you just an ordinary iron rod?” Elder Qinglei said with a hint of contempt.

Oh? Not an ordinary rod? Could it be a Spiritual Artifact?

Ye Haochuan’s heart skipped a beat with anticipation, but Elder Qinglei’s following words almost made him curse out loud.

”This iron rod bears my spiritual imprint. As long as you are nearby, even from dozens of miles away, I can clearly sense your presence. With advance arrangements, my clan members will naturally not strike you with lightning.”

Motherf— With a spiritual imprint, isn’t it still just an iron rod? Just because it has your damn spiritual imprint, does that make it a Magic Artifact?

Ye Haochuan disdainfully curled his lips and once again silently judged Elder Qinglei. People who are this stingy are truly a rare breed.

However, what made Ye Haochuan want to vomit blood was the fact that he had encountered not one, but two of such rare breeds. One was this Elder Qinglei, and the other was Long Xiaotian.

Long Xiaotian, a Core Formation Stage master, absolutely refused to give Ye Haochuan any cultivation resources, clearly demonstrating how stingy he was.

Why not introduce Elder Qinglei to that old geezer, since they’re both Core Formation Stage masters with similar tight-fisted attributes, they might just hit it off spectacularly.

After saying goodbye to Yige, Ye Haochuan and Zhu Qingshuang left the marsh with the help of the Lei Tree People Clan.

Upon reaching outside of Lei Ze, Ye Haochuan immediately returned to the site where they encountered the Thunder Plains Running Wolves, which was the battlefield where Long Piaoying and Zhu Tian had been.

Worried that the Thunder Plains Running Wolves hadn’t left, they proceeded with great caution.

The closer they got, the more frightened they became. Still ten miles away from the battlefield, they could already smell a strong scent of blood.

Continuing forward, the color of the soil had begun to change, from its original yellow to blood red.

Fortunately, they didn’t see any live Thunder Plains Running Wolves along the way, leaving behind only a field of corpses and trails of blood.

It took half an hour for both of them to finally return to that place. But the scene before their eyes filled them with dread.

A thick layer of corpses covered the area completely, and judging by the numbers, at least ten thousand Thunder Plains Running Wolves died here.

”Quick, let’s see if Immortal Aunt or Senior Brother Zhu are here!” Ye Haochuan, greatly alarmed, hurriedly began searching through the corpses of the Thunder Plains Running Wolves.

Ye Haochuan’s heart was in his throat, afraid of not finding them, yet more afraid to see their bodies among this pile of beast corpses.

After turning over a hundred or so bodies, Ye Haochuan suddenly realized how foolish he was, having the tool that is Perspective Eyes and yet manually searching each one was simply stupid.

Mocking himself mentally, Ye Haochuan quickly activated his Perspective Eyes to scan the entire battlefield.

He didn’t know whether to feel relieved or not, but there was no trace of Long Piaoying here.

”It seems they should be alright!” Ye Haochuan sighed with relief.

”But, with tens of thousands of Thunder Plains Running Wolves, even if they won, they must have been injured, right? I’m worried...” Zhu Qingshuang expressed her concern.

”Don’t worry, the two of them are more familiar with the Sub-Thunder Element Dimension Realm than we are, they’ll be fine.” Ye Haochuan consoled, though he also knew that his words were as much for himself as for her.

The two fell silent for a long while, and finally, Zhu Qingshuang, with a somewhat dim expression, said: ”What should we do now?”

She had always entered the Sub-Thunder Element Dimension Realm as part of a team, and when she was at the Phantom Sound Pavilion, there were always Foundation Establishment Late Stage experts leading the team, so she never felt that her life was at risk.

Now, only she and Ye Haochuan were left, one at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, and another at even Innate Peak. Attempting to brave the Sub-Thunder Element Dimension Realm with such a combination was like courting death.

Retreat to the Lei Tree People’s territory?

That might be an option, but if so, this trip to the Sub-Thunder Element Dimension Realm would be wasted.

”What to do? Just keep moving forward!” Ye Haochuan appeared quite relaxed, saying, ”Immortal Aunt must have gone to Five Dragons Mountain, we’ll continue to that valley, find what we need, and then go to Five Dragons Mountain to meet up with her.”

”Alright then!” Comparing retreat to the Lei Tree People’s territory and moving forward, Zhu Qingshuang still preferred to press on. Despite the risks, it also meant facing opportunities, and she might even stumble upon some treasures.

”By the way, do you have a map?” Ye Haochuan suddenly asked.

Since entering the Sub-Thunder Element Dimension Realm, they had always followed Long Piaoying and Zhu Tian, and he hadn’t really thought about needing a map.

”No,” Zhu Qingshuang shook her head.

”Then you lead the way, after all, you’ve been to the Sub-Thunder Element Dimension Realm a few times.”

”Actually... I’m kind of directionally challenged!”

”Damn...”
