260: Xing Mulan: Maybe I am better

Escape.

The snake Yao Beast's only thought at this moment was that one word.

It wanted to escape as far as possible; the aura emanating from this female biped was simply too terrifying for the snake.

So, the snake Yao Beast unhesitatingly turned and began to flee.

Lan Kun was stunned.

What's going on? We were fighting so well, and you suddenly ran away?!

Are you looking down on me?!

Before Lan Kun could react, he saw Xin Mulan fly past him; the snake Yao Beast, seeing Xin Mulan catching up, seemed to bristle all over and accelerated its escape even more frantically.

It seemed to be using every ounce of its strength, as if it were being chased by a ghost, fleeing madly.

It barely attacked Xin Mulan, and even when it did, its attack strength was less than half of what it was before.

Xin Mulan just kept laughing and chasing from behind.

Everyone present witnessed this scene.

It ran, she chased.

It was impossible for it to escape.

Xin Mulan initially found the chase quite fun, but when she got bored, she directly struck the snake Yao Beast with a single blow, taking advantage of its momentary pause, Xin Mulan directly grabbed the snake Yao Beast's tail and swung it around wildly.

Yang Zheng: ……

Qin Zhe: ……

Lan Kun: ……

The few of them couldn't help but start recalling if they had ever 'bullied' Xin Mulan before.

After recalling, they breathed a slight sigh of relief, thankfully, thankfully.

This little girl is too scary…

Xin Mulan happily swung the snake Yao Beast by its tail, even throwing it out, striking it with a Phoenix True Fire, then immediately pulling it back by the tail to continue swinging and hitting, repeating this process until the snake Yao Beast was completely unresponsive.

Xin Mulan tirelessly and happily swung it for a while, only throwing it to the ground when she realized the snake Yao Beast was no longer responding.

Xin Mulan pouted, this snake Yao Beast was really boring.

It fought so vigorously with Lan Kun and Qin Zhe, but after fighting with her for a while, it played dead.

Xin Mulan looked at the snake Yao Beast playing dead on the ground, and a plan came to her mind.

Xin Mulan happily unleashed a Phoenix True Fire on the snake Yao Beast, thinking, 'Now you can't play dead and not fight me, right!'

Unexpectedly, a minute later, everyone present smelled the scent of burnt meat.

Xin Mulan: ???

Qin Zhe, Lan Kun, and Yang Zheng: ……

Xin Mulan asked curiously, "Oh, was this snake Yao Beast dead just now? Why do I smell the fragrance of meat?!"

Qin Zhe clutched his abdomen, which had been swept by the snake Yao Beast's tail earlier. Good heavens, I just have to say, good heavens.

You didn't know the snake Yao Beast was dead, and you even burned it with Phoenix True Fire…

Qin Zhe looked speechlessly at Xin Mulan's bewildered expression and said, "Didn't you know the snake Yao Beast was dead, and that's why you set it on fire to eat Yao Beast meat?"

Xin Mulan, with wide, innocent eyes, said, "No, I thought it was playing dead, so I just wanted to scare it by burning it a little."

Lan Kun patted Qin Zhe's shoulder, "It's a good thing the snake Yao Beast died, otherwise, hehe… I won't say it, but those who understand, understand…"

Qin Zhe and Yang Zheng both nodded.

Xin Mulan looked at the few of them in confusion, why did they seem so strange?

Never mind, the Yao Beast meat is already cooked, so let's just start eating!

Xin Mulan: "Come, come, we're tired from fighting, let's start eating. Anyway, this Yao Beast meat is already cooked…"

The three looked at each other, then also joined in eating.

They chatted idly while eating the Yao Beast meat.

Qin Zhe: "Xin Mulan, why did the snake Yao Beast have no power to fight back against you?"

Xin Mulan: "Hmm… Probably because I'm more powerful…"

Qin Zhe: ……

Lan Kun looked at Xin Mulan, pondered for a moment, and said, "There's a very high probability it's because of Xin Mulan's Phoenix Bloodline. You must know the power of the Phoenix Bloodline. The Phoenix is a Divine Beast on par with the Divine Dragon and the Qilin.

Aside from those two other Divine Beasts, it should be rare for any Yao Beast to be able to contend with it. This is probably a natural Bloodline suppression!"

Yang Zheng nodded in agreement, "Indeed, and from what I understand, the Phoenix Bloodline is extremely domineering. Even Cultivators of the same cultivation level might not be able to defeat Xin Mulan!"

Qin Zhe: "Holy cow! That's amazing… I'm jealous…"

Xin Mulan: The snake Yao Beast meat is delicious. As expected of a Yao Beast at the Refining Essence and Transforming Qi - Late Stage, the meat is indeed firm and chewy…

………

Wang Cao returned home from school, remembered his diary, and took it out to look at it.

Lingzhi Forbidden Area?

Spiritual Plant Spirit Medicine?

Yao Beast?

Cultivators at Refining Qi can enter?

Wang Cao excitedly stood up with the diary and began to say, "Holy cow, this Lingzhi Forbidden Area is practically tailor-made for me!"

"Haha! I shall go meet this Lingzhi Forbidden Area!"

With that, Wang Cao took out his Spirit Treasure and went outside to fly with his sword, stepping on the bamboo strip and soaring into the sky, flying towards the Lingzhi Forbidden Area.

Wang Cao looked at the words "Lingzhi Forbidden Area" and felt incredibly excited.

So he arrived in the Small World of the Lingzhi Forbidden Area, looking at the vast expanses of Spiritual Plants, feeling the rich Spiritual Qi of this Small World pouring into his limbs, Wang Cao happily burst into laughter.

Wang Cao randomly flew in one direction with his sword, then, when he saw a Spiritual Plant, he would descend, carefully pick it, and then continue searching.

Wang Cao wondered if he could find Spirit Treasure here.

During his search, Wang Cao killed some Yao Beasts, all of which were around the Elementary Refining Qi stage.

During this time, he also picked many Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines, but he hadn't seen any Spirit Treasure yet.

He also didn't know if there was any Spirit Treasure here?

Because the Small World was vast, Wang Cao had not yet encountered the members of the Special Affairs Handling Bureau team who had already entered earlier.

He was diligently searching alone for the Spirit Treasure he had been longing for.

While picking a Spiritual Plant, Wang Cao unexpectedly discovered a Spirit Treasure on the cliff.

Haha~

Indeed, even the heavens are helping me.

However, the Spirit Treasure was growing on the outer edge of the cliff, and below the cliff was a bottomless abyss.

If he wasn't careful, he would fall, and then not even his bones would be found.

Wang Cao came to the top of the cliff, his foot moved lightly, bringing down waves of sand and stone into the abyss.

Wang Cao threw another large rock down, and saw the large rock rapidly descend, taking about thirty seconds before a sound could be heard.

After confirming, falling down here would definitely mean death.

However, what did that matter?

Wang Cao directly flew with his sword to the outer edge of the cliff and then quickly picked the Spirit Treasure.

After picking the Spirit Treasure, he discovered that there was actually another Spiritual Plant.

"Haha! I didn't expect that after picking the Spirit Treasure, right next to it was a Spirit Medicine. I vaguely remember that this Spirit Medicine is used for Breakthrough in cultivation…"

So, Wang Cao prepared to get a little closer to pick it. After all, Spiritual Plants must be handled with extreme care, otherwise, it might affect the medicinal properties of the Medicinal Pill.

Before Wang Cao could pick the Spiritual Plant, a sudden Yao Beast charged over. Wang Cao dodged the attack sideways, but the Yao Beast was too fast, and Wang Cao was directly knocked off his sword by a single blow from the Yao Beast…
