Chapter 8
Adult Purple-Gold Mutated Beast
Li Ling trembled in fear, but felt a little embarrassed that she felt intimidated. She glared back unwillingly.
No one noticed that something smaller than a mosquito flew into Li Ling’s ear.
Nie Yin, who was walking in front, heard their words clearly.
He couldn’t help but marvel. Women were so short-sighted. They only thought about love every day and were born to rely on men to live. However, when he thought about how popular he was with girls, he couldn’t help but feel smug.
Li Ling felt that she had not helped much along the way and wanted to show off in front of Nie Yin. However, Kong Rui had stolen the limelight and embarrassed her.
She was angry and took out a golden compass from her pocket. The compass was covered in ancient patterns and emitted spiritual power. This was what her father had given her when she set off. It could help her find herbs with rich spiritual power.
Although they had already found the Soul Return Flower, it was still early. She naturally had to make good use of the divine artifact. When she found high-grade herbs for Brother Nie, he would definitely know that she was much better than that bitch who only knew how to fight!
Li Ling glared at Kong Rui and injected her spiritual power into the compass. The compass emitted a golden light and drew out a golden line.
This time, the golden line was very solid and thick. There was something precious connected to the other end, but only Li Ling could see the golden line.
She sensed Kong Rui’s gaze and immediately said, “What are you looking at? This is one of the ten great divine artifacts of the five continents. A country bumpkin like you must have never heard of it!”
Kong Rui glanced at the spirit finder plate and wondered what Li Ling was so proud of. Was this thing very rare? Everyone in the Demon Abyss had one.
“Little bitch, I’ll definitely dig your eyes out if you look at it again!” Li Ling only thought that Kong Rui was coveting the treasure in her hand, so she said fiercely and completely forgot about the fact that she had been beaten up.
Kong Rui looked away calmly. This woman was really stupid, vicious, and noisy.
Kong Rui couldn’t be bothered with Li Ling, but the Vermillion Bird in her hair was unhappy when it heard that. It transformed and stared at her.
Li Ling instantly thought of the pain of the flames burning her body and took a step back. She seemed to be very afraid.
Kong Rui stroked the Vermillion Bird’s head comfortingly and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Don’t worry, more suffering is waiting for her in the future. I still have more uses for her.”
The Vermillion Bird licked her fingers and turned around to turn into a hairpin that wrapped around her hair.
Li Ling followed the golden line’s guidance and walked forward. Unexpectedly, the light emitted by the line became brighter and brighter, and the compass trembled slightly. Seeing that she was about to leave the team, she shouted, “Brother Nie, can you wait for me? I want to relieve myself.”
Nie Yin was unhappy. Women were so troublesome. But, he still reminded her to return quickly.
The team paused and everyone rested.
Li Ling quickly ran along the golden line. On the other side of the golden line, there was a spirit medicine that looked like a white lotus. It had no leaves, and the flower was very big. The petals were sharp, and layers of petals wrapped a golden pearl. The pearl was round and bright, and it flashed with golden light.
Just as Li Ling’s hand was about to touch it, an angry howl sounded—it was an adult purple-gold mutated beast!
Its body was as huge as a small mountain. At this moment, when facing a thief like Li Ling, it hammered the ground angrily.
This was the companion flower of the purple-gold mutated beast. It was filled with spiritual power. If a young purple-gold mutated beast ate it, it could quickly grow into an adult purple-gold mutated beast, but this flower was almost plucked by Li Ling before it matured. How could the purple-gold mutated beast not be angry?
Li Ling fell to the ground in fear and could only shout for help.
Everyone rushed over when they heard the commotion. When they saw that it was an adult purple-gold mutated beast, they retreated fearfully.
The purple-gold mutated beast acutely sensed the aura of its children on everyone’s bodies. It raised its head and roared, as if calling out. The little purple-gold mutated beast under the black cloth behind the soldier whimpered.
Everyone’s expressions instantly became very ugly.
“Run!” Nie Yin shouted and ran with Li Ling. He even took the time to turn around and see if Kong Rui followed, but the purple-gold mutated beast didn’t plan to let them off at all. The adult purple-gold mutated beast’s roar was deafening.
“How dare you barge into my territory, hurt my child, and snatch my treasure!”
This spirit beast was actually able to communicate with humans. It was obviously an advanced spirit beast!
Nie Yin rolled forward and dodged the first wave of the purple-gold mutated beast’s attack. He pulled out the longsword at his waist.
“Brother Nie, be careful! It’s all my fault!” Li Ling cried anxiously, but Nie Yin couldn’t be bothered with her. If not for the fact that it would be difficult to explain to the empire if he didn’t bring her back, he would have abandoned her on the spot already.
