Chapter 175 Xiao Ya's Invitation

Only after the Golden Roc escaped from danger did Chu Han slowly sheathe his blade, and his Spiritual Domain retracted as well.

On the bird's back, there was dead silence.

Xiao Ya, Uncle Fu, Li Tian, and the few remaining scattered Martial Artists all stared at Chu Han's back in a daze, their Faces filled with disbelief.

This feeling of escaping from the jaws of death made their emotions incredibly complex.

They never would have imagined that a youth who seemingly only had a 6th Rank Initial Stage cultivation could, by his own strength, control the frenzied Golden Roc, sweep through tens of thousands of Bone Bats, and forcefully pull them out of a desperate situation!

The most terrifying thing was that many of them didn't even know what kind of methods Chu Han had used!

That was truly the most frightening part.

Xiao Ya looked at Chu Han's back, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a strange light, and a meaningful smile curled at the corners of her mouth. "Interesting. Just what is the background of this youth?"

Uncle Fu took a deep breath, his gaze toward Chu Han filled with wariness.

He could sense that the strength Chu Han had just displayed was definitely not as simple as the 6th Rank Initial Stage on the surface; perhaps even he, a 7th-Rank Limit Martial Artist, might not be a match!

Chu Han didn't look back. He felt the Golden Roc's steady flight posture and the clear mental connection within his Sea of Consciousness, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Taming a 6th Order Peak Golden Roc was an unexpected pleasant surprise.

With this mount, traveling back and forth to the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains would be much more convenient in the future.

He looked up toward the distance, where clouds and mist swirled, and the faint outline of a black swamp could be seen.

The Poisonous Swamp had been reached.

After a few more minutes, the Golden Roc finally arrived at the edge of the Poisonous Swamp area.

Below was no longer a dense forest, but a boundless black swamp.

Bubbles churned in the swamp, emitting a pungent stench, and purple miasma circled above the swamp like venomous snakes, with visibility less than ten meters.

He could feel that this Poisonous Swamp contained dense coldness and toxicity.

"Go down," Chu Han said indifferently.

The Golden Roc received the command, let out a cry, and dove down.

Before long, it landed on an open space in the swamp.

Xiao Ya's group was the first to stand up, jumping off the bird's back one after another and landing steadily on the rocks at the edge of the swamp.

The other few scattered Martial Artists also jumped down and fled in different directions.

Chu Han was the last to stand up, jumping off the bird's head and landing on the ground.

The Golden Roc crouched beside him, waiting for his orders.

Chu Han looked at the Golden Roc and smiled. "We can be considered to have some fate, so let me give you a hand."

He took out a large quantity of Medicinal Pills and some Heaven And Earth Treasures from his space ring and threw them all into the Golden Roc's beak.

These were all Heaven And Earth Treasures that could repair injuries and enhance the strength and Bloodline of Beastss.

At this moment, they were being fed to the Golden Roc as if they cost nothing.

Seeing this, the wariness in Uncle Fu's eyes deepened.

In his heart, he already considered Chu Han a scion of some great Family or major power.

After eating these Heaven And Earth Treasures, the Golden Roc's aura rose rapidly, and the injuries caused by the Bone Bats were instantly repaired.

It let out a joyful cry, filled with gratitude toward Chu Han and a sense of submission from the depths of its Soul.

The Heaven And Earth Treasures Chu Han gave it were enough to let it evolve to the 7th Rank.

Although its mind was controlled by Chu Han, at this moment, it had completely submitted to this human.

"Good. Go find a safe place to increase your strength. I'll call you when I need to leave the swamp later."

Chu Han said indifferently.

Upon receiving the command, the Golden Roc immediately flapped its wings, flew into the high sky, and disappeared.

Only Chu Han, Xiao Ya, and their group remained on the field.

At this time, Xiao Ya walked over quickly with Uncle Fu and the young Martial Artist, saying with undisguised gratitude and admiration, "Sir, thanks to your intervention just now, otherwise we would have likely perished ten thousand meters in the air."

"The three of you are all at the 7th Rank. Even if you fell, you wouldn't die. There's no talk of saving or not saving," Chu Han responded indifferently.

Xiao Ya smiled and said, "Sir, the Poisonous Swamp is extremely dangerous. Not only is it filled with miasma, but there are also countless high-rank Beastss and venomous insects. Moving alone is very risky. Why don't we travel together? We can look out for each other.

The beast control technique you showed just now would definitely be a huge help to us, and we can provide you with a detailed map of the Poisonous Swamp and experience in avoiding danger. It's a win-win."

Her words were sincere, and her eyes held expectation.

The strength Chu Han had just displayed was too astonishing. If they could pull such a powerful person into their team, the success rate of their mission this time would undoubtedly increase significantly.

"No need. I'm used to acting alone and don't like traveling with others," Chu Han directly shook his head and refused in a flat tone.

As soon as these words came out, the young Martial Artist's expression instantly darkened, and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.

He felt that Chu Han was too arrogant; Xiao Ya had taken the initiative to show goodwill, yet the other party gave no Face at all.

But thinking of Chu Han's terrifying methods ten thousand meters in the air just now, he forcefully swallowed the rebuttal at the tip of his tongue and could only turn his Face away indignantly.

Xiao Ya, however, was not discouraged. She took a deep look at Chu Han, her beautiful eyes shifting as if she were thinking about something.

After a moment, a knowing smile curled at the corners of her mouth, and she asked tentatively, "I wonder what brings you to the Poisonous Swamp this time, sir? As far as I know, the environment of the Poisonous Swamp is harsh, and ordinary Martial Artists would never set foot here lightly. The most attractive things here are the Heaven And Earth Treasures nurtured in extreme environments, as well as rare poisonous substances that can be sought but not easily found. I guess you're mostly here to find some specific medicinal ingredients?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Chu Han's eyes.

The woman before him not only had decent strength but also such sharp wits that she had guessed his purpose all at once.

He didn't hide it either and nodded slightly. "Correct. I am indeed here to look for medicinal ingredients."

"Then you should definitely travel with us!" Xiao Ya's eyes lit up.

"I am from the Southern Border's Xiao Family. Our Xiao Family has been in the medicinal herb business for generations and is the largest medicinal herb supplier in the Dragon Summer Federation. Not only do we possess a massive amount of information on medicinal herbs, but we also train many professionals skilled in identifying and finding precious medicines. We have detailed records of which areas in the Poisonous Swamp grow which medicinal herbs."

Her tone was full of confidence, and after a pause, she added, "If the herbs you need are relatively rare, perhaps our Xiao Family's warehouse has them in stock, and there would be no need to risk yourself in this dangerous Poisonous Swamp. Even if we don't, with our understanding of the Poisonous Swamp, we can save you a lot of trouble."

"Oh? Your Xiao Family can provide the medicinal herbs I need?" Hearing this, a hint of interest flashed in Chu Han's eyes.

Although the blood bait flower, dragon crystal grass, and star pattern fruit he was looking for weren't considered world-shaking treasures, their growing environments were extremely unique. If the Xiao Family truly had them in stock, it would save him a lot of trouble.

Seeing Chu Han's interest, Xiao Ya was secretly delighted and nodded quickly. "As long as it's a medicinal herb that exists on the market or a Heaven And Earth Treasure with clear records, our Xiao Family has dabbled in it more or less. I wonder what medicinal herbs you need? Why not tell us?"
