Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 947: Chapter 946: A Matter of Life and Death (2 Updates)

What puzzled Ye Haochuan and his two companions was that, in the following two days, they unexpectedly didn’t encounter a single demon beast. It must be noted that the Sub-Thunder Element Dimension is a world where demon beasts run rampant; not encountering any in two days was highly abnormal.

Just as they were somewhat perplexed, Zhu Tian, who was walking at the front, exclaimed in surprise: ”Haochuan, come over and take a look!”

”What’s going on? Has something happened?”

Hearing Zhu Tian’s shout, Ye Haochuan hurried over, and suddenly a huge pit appeared in his field of view.

This pit, seemingly a clear stream within the Sub-Thunder Element Dimension, contained mists so hazy it looked like a beautiful, enchanting Immortal Realm.

The moment Ye Haochuan activated his Perspective, he instantly had a clear understanding of the pit.

This pit was about a hundred meters deep, and below it lay a valley. Excitingly for him, he saw that within the valley there were extremely precious medicinal herbs.

”Senior Brother Zhu, there are treasures below, shall we go down and take a look?” Ye Haochuan said excitedly.

”Treasures?”

”That’s right, treasures. The pit is nearly a hundred meters deep, and below is a valley. Moreover, I’ve discovered several extremely precious Spirit Grasses, Poria Flowers, Green Purple Vines, and Longevity Radishes,” Ye Haochuan nodded and explained.

”What? There are even treasures like the Longevity Radish?”

Zhu Tian didn’t care about how Ye Haochuan knew this, but upon hearing about the Longevity Radish, an astounded expression appeared on his face.

Unlike other medicinal herbs, Longevity Radishes can increase one’s vitality, or in simpler terms, extend lifespan. Although the increase is modest, for those in desperate need of such an herb, its value can far exceed that of Heavenly Star Grass.

”Indeed, it’s a Longevity Radish. So what?”

Seeing Zhu Tian’s astonished expression, Ye Haochuan was quite puzzled.

Although the Longevity Radish is precious and rare, compared to other herbs like the Heavenly Star Grass, it’s not much. It mainly increases vitality without enhancing Cultivation, which to him was quite useless—nothing to fuss over.

”Hehe, you don’t understand. That’s because someone in the higher ranks of the Ancient Martial Arts Sect is in need of it, and I heard the reward is very generous,” replied Zhu Tian.

Zhu Tian spoke of a ”generous reward” while his yellowed teeth were displayed, and his eyes were filled with a cunning gleam just like a merchant’s.

”Oh? Sounds promising!”

Ye Haochuan’s eyes also lit up, then he and the taller and shorter man shared a knowing smile, as if to say, you know what I mean.

Meanwhile, Zhu Qingshuang, not too far away, was almost popping her eyes out, her skin crawling with goosebumps and she gave an involuntary shudder as she thought to herself, these two aren’t planning something sketchy, are they?

”With so many treasures inside, could it be dangerous?” Zhu Tian asked cautiously.

Ye Haochuan pondered for a moment: ”I’m not too sure about that; we just need to be careful. Fortune favors the bold after all.”

”That’s settled, then!”

”I’m going too!”

”Good, then let’s go together!”

With that said, the three of them leaped into the pit.

What they didn’t notice, however, was that the mouth of the pit was now slowly closing.

”Haha, it really is a Longevity Radish, we’ve struck gold!”

Zhu Tian had just landed when he saw a plant resembling a pineapple within his line of sight, and he was so excited that he was dancing with joy, ecstatic beyond measure!

After a thorough search, the three of them dug out all the external herbs, but they were somewhat unsatisfactory with very few precious Spirit Grass, only four or five stalks.

Even so, they were delighted since among these was a pair of Longevity Radishes!

They continued to go deeper into the valley. However, to their disappointment, although there were many herbs, the precious ones were still scarce.

”Eh, Haochuan, look, there’s actually Heavenly Star Grass here!”

Zhu Tian’s voice of shock immediately drew Zhu Qingshuang and Ye Haochuan over, and what came into view was a small purple grass, about twenty centimeters tall with 7 leaves, swaying like a joyous sprite at this moment.

”It really is Heavenly Star Grass, we’ve struck it rich, really hit the jackpot!”

Ye Haochuan was overjoyed to the extreme, so exhilarated he could almost fly. After all, Heavenly Star Grass is a key ingredient in forging Enlightenment Pills.

Consuming Enlightenment Pills at the Foundation Establishment Peak could increase the chance of success in reaching Core Formation. Long Piaoying had gone through great difficulties to head to Five Dragons Mountain, just to compete for Heavenly Star Grass to forge Enlightenment Pills.

What he had not expected was to encounter one here.

”Everyone keep looking, see if there’s any more Heavenly Star Grass!”

Ye Haochuan called out excitedly, having already found one, there might be a second or a third, just the thought was thrilling!

”Alright.”

After more than ten minutes had passed, besides finding some common medicinal herbs, nothing else was found.

With no choice, they proceeded further in.

However, at this moment, a fierce roar came from deep within the valley, followed by a huge shadow rushing out, darkening the sky and emitting a suffocating pressure.

”This is... a Crimson Wing Golden Tiger, and it’s a Foundation Establishment Peak Crimson Wing Golden Tiger!”

Zhu Tian exclaimed in horror, looking at the Crimson Wing Golden Tiger covered in golden fur, its enormous wings folded, emitting a terrifying aura from its body which is larger than the front of a train, his heart sunk to the bottom.

”Roar!”

The Crimson Wing Golden Tiger opened its huge mouth, its roar vibrating the eardrums.

Ye Haochuan and the two others instantly felt a piercing pain in their heads.

Right now, he desperately wanted to escape, but in the next instant, he found he couldn’t move his feet, as if they no longer belonged to him.

Large beads of sweat began to fall, soaking through his clothes.

Being at the Peak of Foundation Establishment was truly terrifying, so terrifying that one didn’t even harbor thoughts of resistance.

Damn, am I really going to lose my life here today?

It can’t be; what a joke, if I died, what would happen to the three thousand beauties in my harem? And my unborn child?

Thinking that each of them had wholeheartedly devoted themselves to him, and he was their everything, if he died, what would become of them...

Ye Haochuan was terrified at the thought.

No way, I can’t die, absolutely can’t die, definitely cannot!

”Um, big brother Tiger, you see, we didn’t mean to intrude on your territory, could you please let go of your anger, and just... pass us off as nothing?”

”Oh, right, and these things are yours; had we known they belonged to you, we definitely would not have touched them!”

As he spoke, Ye Haochuan took out the medicinal herbs he had collected, presenting them with both hands, while his heart bled inside!

These were all painstakingly collected by him, and now he had to give them back; anyone would feel the pain of loss.

But even so, he dared not show it on his face, instead putting on an obsequious smile.

When under someone else’s roof, one must bow; compared to one’s life, these things are nothing!

”Roar!”

Another tiger roar reverberated, and Ye Haochuan and the others felt like driftwood amidst raging waves, at any moment at risk of being torn to shreds.
