Chapter 22 Going to Seize the Treasure
Since being accidentally transported to the wilderness, and then undergoing a tribulation of lightning to take human form, becoming a companion to the spirit lamp, Xiao Bao had never sensed such strong spiritual energy fluctuations on this unknown continent.
This is clearly a battle between high-level experts, and the battle is quite intense.
Xiao Bao's first reaction was to stay away.
After all, they are all injured or disabled here, so there is no need for them to get involved in this mess.
Besides, he didn't even know the people fighting, so why should he meddle in their business?
Just as he was about to tell his family to make a quick getaway, Lingdeng tugged at his sleeve: "Xiaobao, let's go take a look. It feels like a treasure has been born."
The spirit lamp hadn't sensed such strong spiritual energy fluctuations in that sea area for a very, very long time.
She has never been born into a good era, so she rarely gets to see any decent treasures. This time, she finally encountered one, so it's no wonder she was tempted.
Of course, she didn't act on a whim alone.
As far as she knew, the most powerful demons in the entire Dust Continent were concentrated around the Great Abyss Sea, and there shouldn't be any truly strong individuals in this area.
Even if they did encounter a Purple Demon, with her and Xiao Bao's abilities, even if they couldn't snatch the treasure, escaping wouldn't be a problem.
Seeing his partner's pleading eyes, Xiao Bao couldn't bring himself to refuse.
These days, the spirit lamp uses its healing abilities whenever it has a spare moment, consuming too much spiritual energy for A-Chen and Nie Xiaoxiao.
Now that she wants a treasure, no matter how difficult it is, he should get it for her.
"If you want the treasure, I'll go and get it back for you, but you have to stay here obediently. I don't want you to go on any risks," Xiao Bao said in a very manly tone.
Lingdeng's eyes crinkled into crescent moons with laughter. This male beast was truly remarkable—gentle and considerate, yet fierce enough when necessary.
Now he's willing to risk his life to retrieve the treasure for her, but he's also worried about her getting hurt and doesn't want her to be in danger.
The lamp originally only intended to follow him through his heat cycle, and then go their separate ways.
In the lineage of the Thousand-Thread Jellyfish, the female's need for the male is limited to the estrus period.
To put it bluntly, males are merely a remedy for females to get through their estrus cycle.
If the woman becomes pregnant afterward, she will raise the baby alone.
Because most males are promiscuous and unfaithful, their only purpose is to reproduce.
However, if Xiao Bao can maintain his current state, she might consider seeking him out again during her next heat cycle.
When Xiao Bao returned to A Chen and the others, Long Batian was already ready to lead everyone on their journey.
The powerful spiritual energy fluctuations were naturally sensed by Achen and Long Batian.
Unlike Xiao Bao, A Chen felt that whether it was the emergence of a treasure or a battle between powerful figures, it was necessary to go and take a look.
If both sides are severely injured in the fight, then they can go and take advantage of the situation.
If a treasure appears, the powerful figures in the distance won't have time to arrive. Those who are closer can easily grab the treasure and escape the scene.
On this desolate continent, if you don't accumulate some treasures, life won't be easy in the future.
Long Batian shared the same thought as Achen: if they were to encounter danger, he could also lead the wounded to escape.
Since everyone shared the same idea, Xiao Bao no longer hesitated, picked up the spirit lamp, and jumped onto Long Batian's broad back.
Long Batian sprinted at full speed toward the source of the spiritual energy fluctuations.
Upon arriving nearby, they discovered a large body of water filled with seaweed.
These seaweeds were actually the true forms of the Fine Demon Clan, and their numbers were countless.
Clearly, this should be a gathering place for the Fine Demon Clan.
Although their purpose in traveling to the Dust Continent via the teleportation channel was to help improve the living environment of the Little Demon race there.
However, without the High Priest present, Achen would not easily expose himself to the people of the Ximo tribe.
If he gets mistaken for food by them, who will he cry to?
The water in front of us was pitch black, clearly indicating a high level of pollution.
Achen and Xiaobao once lived on the highly radioactive Green Algae Star, where most of the plants and water sources were subject to excessive radiation.
However, radiation is invisible to the naked eye, so the water there looks very clear.
But this place is different. The water is pitch black and looks murky. I really don't know how the Little Demons survive here.
Achen released his divine sense to secretly explore the central area of the water, where there was a beautiful three-story building.
It looks rather strange that a beautiful three-story building would appear in such polluted waters.
More importantly, the source of the spiritual energy fluctuations was in the center of that body of water, but when they arrived nearby, the fluctuations suddenly stopped.
Achen's intuition told him that there must be a secret hidden in that three-story building.
Then, amidst a vast expanse of yellow demons, he actually sensed a purple demon!
At his peak, along with Long Batian and Xiao Bao, he should have been confident of taking down a Purple Demon.
However, his soul is injured, making it difficult for him to face even one purple demon, let alone the countless yellow and green demons.
Ah Chen dared not make a move and was about to hide to the side and observe the situation when suddenly, he heard the purple demon speak:
"High Priest, the quarter of an hour is up. I have opened the teleportation channel for you."
Quickly hand over your half of the Soul Bead and that little slave girl, and I'll open the life gate of the killing array and send you into the teleportation channel.
Otherwise, don't blame your subordinates for being ruthless!
These words were like a thunderclap, startling Ah Chen and Xiao Bao so much that they almost jumped up.
What did they hear?!
High Priest?!
Although they didn't have time to figure out what was going on, the purple demon in front of them was clearly threatening the high priest.
And the only high priest of the Fine Demon Clan should be Zi Ling, right?
Zi Ling will probably end up with Xi Er, right?
Even if they are not together, since Zi Ling is still alive, then Xi'er, the soul master, must also be alive.
The next second, his body reacted faster than his brain, and Ah Chen pounced on the purple demon without regard for anything else.
Xiao Bao also rushed towards the same target at the same time.
The two attacked so suddenly that not only Zi Wushi, but even his companions Long Batian and Lingdeng were unable to react.
Lingdeng had no idea who the High Priest was, while Long Batian was relatively slow to react.
However, after Achen and Xiaobao launched their attacks, Long Batian was only three seconds slower. He followed up and unleashed a full-force attack on Zi Wushi!
