rescue
The middle-aged man paused, looked at the younger generations in front of him, and said firmly: "This is the only chance for our Lin family's branch to hold our heads high in front of the main family!
As long as we can obtain the elixir and save the young master, the master will definitely remember our great achievement. In the future, your cultivation resources and your future will be secure!"
The other uninjured male disciple clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "Third Uncle is right! Let's fight! Fortune and wealth are sought through danger, and the path to immortality is inherently against the will of heaven! As long as we can obtain the Seven-Star Begonia, we will no longer be an insignificant side branch!"
These words rekindled the fighting spirit in the eyes of several people who were originally a little shaken.
The middle-aged man nodded, took out a few spirit stones from his storage bag, and quickly set up a simple warning formation around him. He said in a deep voice: "Rest here for an hour. Everyone, take this time to recover your spiritual power. In an hour, we will enter the valley!"
From the tree, Zhong Ling took in all of this. An eighth-rank demon beast was equivalent to a cultivator at the Spiritualization stage. For these people to attempt to break in with their Golden Core stage cultivation was like trying to hit a rock with an egg.
However, the Seven-Star Begonia...is indeed effective against cold poison.
Zhong Ling followed the group of monks from the Lin family at a leisurely pace. The monks from the Lin family obviously did not notice the "tail" behind them.
All their attention at this moment was focused on the valley ahead.
"Brother, are we really going in?" A female disciple hesitated. "That's the territory of the eighth-rank demon beast, the Red-eyed Demon Ape! Our current state..."
"There's no way out. The Seven-Star Begonia is our only hope. Even if it means death, we have to give it a try! As long as one person can escape, it will be enough."
They stepped into the valley cautiously, each step feeling like walking on the edge of a knife.
"roar--!"
A roar came from the depths of the valley, stirring up sand and rocks all over the sky.
Everyone in the Lin family suddenly felt their blood boiling. The two people with weaker cultivation vomited blood and their faces turned pale.
Immediately afterwards, a huge monster three meters tall appeared in their sight.
It was a giant ape covered with long crimson hair and had bloodshot eyes. It was an eighth-rank demon beast, the Red-Eyed Demon Ape.
The red-eyed demon ape was obviously disturbed by these uninvited guests. It pounded its chest, and every pounding shook the earth.
"Form a formation!" The middle-aged man Lin Bo shouted, forcibly suppressing the injuries in his body, and the long sword in his hand flashed with spiritual light.
However, facing an eighth-level monster in its prime, this formation was as fragile as paper.
The red-eyed demon ape didn't give them any chance to breathe and charged towards them with its huge body.
"boom!"
With just one strike, the defensive formation shattered, and two people were sent flying, unconscious.
Lin Bo's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared angrily, swinging his sword forward, colliding with the sharp claws of the demon ape.
The high-quality long sword in Lin Bo's hand was actually cracked by the blow, and his knuckles were broken. He was thrown away and fell heavily on the mountain wall.
Despair hangs over everyone's heart.
At this critical moment.
A slight sound of breaking through the air was heard, and then a flash of sword light cut through the air and accurately cut into the wrist of the demon ape.
“Puff—”
The sharp knife pierces the flesh.
The giant palm of the red-eyed demon ape suddenly stopped less than three inches away from Lin Bo's head.
A wound deep enough to see the bone appeared on its wrist, and blood gushed out.
"roar!!!"
The severe pain drove the eighth-rank monster crazy instantly. It let out a roar, and with its other fist, carrying violent demonic power, it rushed towards the direction of the sword light regardless of anything.
However, the moment it roared, the second sword light had already arrived.
Before the giant ape's heavy fist arrived, it pierced through its left eye, leaving a line of blood from the back of its head.
The roar stopped abruptly.
The huge body of the red-eyed demon ape froze in place.
"boom--"
The next second, this eighth-level monster seemed to have all its bones pulled out, and fell to the ground with a loud bang, stirring up a cloud of dust.
No more sound.
The entire valley was deathly silent.
The conscious members of the Lin family, including Uncle Lin who had just had a near-death experience, were all dumbfounded. How could an eighth-level monster die like this?
They turned in disbelief towards the direction where the sword light came from.
A woman in white slowly walked out from the shadow of the mountain not far away.
She has a slender figure, a cold face, and a small demon beast on her shoulder.
Zhong Ling walked straight to the depths of the valley, dug up the entire Seven-Star Begonia plant with its roots, carefully removed the soil from the roots, and placed it in a jade box.
It was not until Zhong Ling had done all this that Lin Bo finally woke up from his dream.
He struggled to get up from the ground, ignoring the serious injuries on his body, staggered to Zhong Ling and bowed deeply.
"Thank you...thank you for saving my life, senior!" His voice trembled slightly.
The people behind him also reacted, dragging their injured bodies and struggling to kneel on the ground.
Two swords, just two swords, instantly killed an eighth-level monster in its prime.
Zhong Ling's cold eyes swept over them, finally landing on Lin Bo, and she said lightly: "Get up."
There was no emotion in her voice.
Lin Bo and others did not dare to disobey and stood up respectfully, but did not even dare to raise their heads.
Zhong Ling weighed the jade box in her hand and said, "You want this?"
When Uncle Lin heard this, his heart tightened, fearing that the senior would not be willing to give up.
He explained, "To be honest, Senior, my young master has been poisoned. The cold has invaded his soul and spirit, and he is in imminent danger. Only this Seven-Star Begonia can save his life. We... have no other choice..."
Zhong Ling threw the jade box over.
Uncle Lin took it subconsciously and was stunned.
"Here you go." Zhong Ling's tone remained calm. "I killed the monster, so it's my trophy. Since you need it, I'll give it to you."
Uncle Lin held the jade box, his hands were shaking, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
He originally thought that if the senior didn't give it to them, they wouldn't want it either. The senior had already done them a great favor by saving them from the eighth-level monster.
But they never expected that the other party would give them the treasure so easily.
"Senior... this is too precious! We..."
"It's okay." Zhong Ling interrupted him, "I was just passing by and did it casually, and..."
She paused, "Are you going back to the East Region Center?"
Uncle Lin was startled, then nodded quickly: "Yes, my Lin family's main branch is in Tianshu City, the largest city in the Eastern Region."
"Perfect." Zhong Ling's lips curled up slightly. "I want to go there too, but I'm unfamiliar with the place. How about this: you give me a ride and I'll take this Seven-Star Begonia as my reward. How about that?"
Give your senior a ride?
This wasn't a reward; it was a truly great opportunity! With such a formidable figure by their side, they wouldn't have to worry about returning to Tianshu City, or even traversing the entire Myriad Beasts Mountain Range!
"Yes! Of course I do!" Uncle Lin was so excited that he was incoherent. "It is our honor to be able to guide you, senior!"
Zhong Ling waved her hand: "Let's take care of your injuries first, there's no rush."
After she finished speaking, she found a clean stone to sit on and closed her eyes to rest.
Lin Bo and others didn't dare to say anything more. They suppressed their excitement and began to treat the injuries.
The young master is saved, and they can go home alive!
