Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The dragon was mystified and almost fainted in shock! It unleashed its claws and flew toward the mussels at its fastest speed. “Return my Purple Cloud Mushrooms!”
In response, the mussel shut its sh.e.l.l and rolled towards Gu Xijiu. “Save me, master!”
Gu Xijiu teleported towards the mussel and utilized her long and st.u.r.dy whip to block the momentum of the dragon. She started to fight with it again. Since the Purple Cloud Mushroom had been collected, Gu Xijiu was more energetic now! The fight with the dragon naturally grew more intense. Lu Wu and the mussel stayed out of the action. But Lu Wu did ask the mussel, “Are there at least a hundred mushrooms inside your sh.e.l.l?”
The mussel responded proudly, “It was master who sent me a directed audio message to ask me to collect the mushrooms. However, she asked me only to pick a few. In the end, I collected every single one! Look, they are all inside my sh.e.l.l!”
Lu Wu was speechless. It breathed a sigh of relief. “Master can now refine as many medicines as she wants.”
The dragon had excellent hearing. Even though it was midway battling with Gu Xijiu, it could hear the conversation between the two beasts. Its heart was filled with rage at this point. There were many a time when it wanted to forget about Gu Xijiu and shred the mussel into pieces instead.
Luckily for the mussel, Gu Xijiu always had a plan. “Two of you should go to the place where we entered and wait for me. I will arrive later.”
The mussel was worried. “Master, are you able to deal with this beast on your own?”
“Of course!” Gu Xijiu made it seem so easy.
Lu Wu was quite intelligent and knew Gu Xijiu’s real intention was not to flaunt. “Mussel, we will distract master if we stay here. Let’s go.” It looked at Gu Xijiu again. “Master is too strong for this opponent.”
The mussel was relieved. “Alright, master! We will wait for you there.”
The two beasts left and headed all the way to the entrance. The further they went, the more furious the dragon became!
Gu Xijiu’s current skills were definitely worse than during her prime. However, she had a lot more experiences to bring to her benefit. Moreover, since the mussel and Lu Wu had left, she had no concern anymore so she could fight without pressure.
Furthermore, the dragon was in a state of anger. Although it was more violent than before, there were more weaknesses to exploit. Every time it got distracted by the mussel, Gu Xijiu knew that she could strike it down.
…
An hour later, the mussel and Lu Wu arrived at their point of entry. Before they could stand firmly, there was a blue shadow that flashed from afar. It was Gu Xijiu!
The mussel and Lu Wu were relieved and rushed forward to her. “Master, have you gotten rid of the stupid dragon? Or do we need to rush out before it chases after us?”
It did not manage to finish its sentence, because Gu Xijiu took out a red alchemy tool!
Lu Wu’s eyes widened. “Master, have you killed the dragon?!”
Gu Xijiu nodded. “Of course!”
The mussel seemed to doubt her statement. Since when had its master become so powerful? It gave Gu Xijiu a thumbs up. “Master, you are too strong!”
“Master you must be exhausted. You should rest first before you open the Enchanted Barrier. It is still early… it has not been six days yet.”
Di Fuyi had taught Gu Xijiu the way to open the Enchanted Barrier. It was indeed quite exhausting. They had come in for almost five days, and this trip was undoubtedly full of rewards… so what was the rush?
Gu Xijiu shook her head. She did not rest and directly performed the technique to open the entrance of the Enchanted Barrier… “Di Fuyi, I am coming back with the herb! You must wait for me; don’t leave me in despair…”
