Gradually, the corpses on the ground grew more numerous, and the stench of blood began to permeate the air.
In less than half an hour, Ye Wushuang and Li Wenbo had slain more than twenty of the fifty to sixty dead leaf pythons. The remaining pythons, witnessing this carnage, were terrified and began to flee in panic. Soon, the dense forest was left with nothing but a field of carcasses. The dead lay still, and the fleeing disappeared into the distance.
Ye Wushuang, sword in hand, looked at Li Wenbo as he approached. “I killed fourteen!” Li Wenbo exclaimed.
“I got twenty-one!” Ye Wushuang laughed.
Upon hearing this, Li Wenbo’s expression froze, his smile vanishing. “No way, no way, that’s impossible,” he insisted.
“The bodies are all here; we can count them!” Ye Wushuang suggested.
“Count them, then!” Li Wenbo retorted, convinced that as a warrior of the second level of the Tian Gang realm, he must be stronger than Ye Wushuang. After all, Ye Wushuang was fighting above his own rank and should logically be at a disadvantage.
But now…
It turned out that Ye Wushuang had killed more than him.
At that moment, Chu Qingcheng walked over and said, “He really is going to count… I saw it just now. You did kill twenty-one, and he killed fourteen.”
Even as Chu Qingcheng spoke these words, she found it hard to believe. It was simply too incredible. One was at the ninth level of the Yuanfu realm, and the other at the second level of the Tian Gang realm. Yet, they had faced dozens of dead leaf pythons and slain over thirty, all without a scratch on themselves.
Looking at Ye Wushuang, Chu Qingcheng said, “You’ve become even more formidable than before.”
However, Ye Wushuang just smiled and said, “These dead leaf pythons are only at the first to third levels of the Tian Gang realm. They are low-grade, third-level spirit beasts with not-so-strong combat abilities. If it had been other fierce third-level spirit beasts, we might have had to run away!”
Chu Qingcheng just smiled. She knew this was Ye Wushuang being modest.
Soon, Li Wenbo walked over with a dejected look on his face and grumbled, “Damn it, you really did kill seven more than me. You’re a monster.”
“I hope there really is a Dragon’s Tongue Orchid. Once you reach the Tian Gang realm, who would dare to provoke us here?”
Ye Wushuang then said, “Dead leaf pythons carry a withering aura, which has a very negative impact on the Dragon’s Tongue Orchid. So, these pythons gathering here must be waiting for the Dragon’s Tongue Orchid to truly mature.”
“Within a radius of five kilometers of this place, there must be the scent of Dragon’s Tongue Orchid.”
Li Wenbo quickly said, “Let’s split up and search.”
“Okay.”
Ye Wushuang took Chu Qingcheng with him, while Li Wenbo went alone. The three of them began to search separately.
Soon, Ye Wushuang noticed something suspicious and immediately called Li Wenbo back. In front of the three of them was a range of low mountains, with valleys of various sizes formed between them. There were also signs of dead leaf pythons’ activity in this area.
“It must be here!” Ye Wushuang said.
“Are you sure?” Li Wenbo asked, his excitement barely contained. Dragon’s Tongue Orchid was extremely rare. Out of ten thousand plants, only one might survive, as most were eaten by spirit beasts before they could fully grow. An immature Dragon’s Tongue Orchid held no value, and those cultivated by humans had significantly reduced efficacy.
Directly refined, Dragon’s Tongue Orchid had miraculous effects, and it was incredibly valuable as a medicinal ingredient.
The three of them cautiously entered the valley. Suddenly, a faint, pleasant aroma wafted through the air.
“So fragrant…” Chu Qingcheng exclaimed in surprise.
“Hold your breath!” Ye Wushuang immediately said, “This is the scent of Cloud-Holding Grass. It weakens the spiritual energy and Tian Gang energy within the body. If you inhale too much, you’ll fall into a coma.”
Li Wenbo quickly took out a jade bottle and some silk, dripped some spiritual liquid from the bottle onto the silk, and handed it to Ye Wushuang and Chu Qingcheng, saying with a smile, “This is Spirit-Heart Liquid. It can block out the smell.”
The three of them covered their faces with the silk and continued to move through the valleys one by one. Sure enough, in one of the valleys, the ground was covered with lush, red grass. The leaves of these plants were spread out like fingers, full of vitality.
Cloud-Holding Grass!
Chu Qingcheng looked at them in astonishment. She had never heard of these spirit plants before. In fact, she had read extensively during her cultivation at Qingyun Academy and knew most of the spirit plants within the Qingyun Empire. But here, in the Qingzhou Youlong Mountains, she felt her knowledge was severely lacking.
But then…
How did Ye Wushuang know about it?
