Chapter 343: An Unexpected Mistake (2/2)

...

Early in the morning, the fog had yet to disperse. However, it was much thinner than before. The night before, a group of soldiers had been drinking to keep their bodies warm and the urge to relieve themselves made them venture towards the forest.

An intoxicated soldier rubbed his eyes when he heard some mysterious sounds coming from the depths of the forest. “Strange… There isn’t any wind right now. Why are the trees swaying?”

By the time this soldier opened his eyes and turned around, he realized that he was standing in front of a massive creature.

“What the?!” The soldier exclaimed and fainted.

This massive creature was none other than the Green Flame Eagle. It tilted its head in confusion as it saw the soldier fainting. It didn’t know why people were terrified of it as its owner obviously found it very cute.

When the Green Flame Eagle was having a headache on how to deal with the fainted soldier, someone came over to investigate the screams.

“What happened? What is going... on...” Another person arrived and was greeted with the sight of the massive Green Flame Eagle. When he saw that his buddy had collapsed in front of it, his legs turned to jelly. His entire body started to tremble and he wasn’t able to speak properly.

The soldier turned tail and ran, staggering from time to time as he tripped over his own foot. As he ran, he screamed, “Hurry up and run! The spirit beast is killing people!”

The original tranquility of the military camp was destroyed in an instant.

When Bai Luochu heard the commotion, she had just ended her morning cultivation session. When she saw the soldier running over in a panic, she stopped him and asked, “What is going on? Why are you screaming and running about in the military camp? Behave yourself.”

“Aiyo, Divine Physician Bai, you don’t know what’s going on! I saw a giant spirit beast standing in the middle of the forest and my buddy was lying motionless on the ground. I have to report this to His First Highness as soon as possible!”

“Spirit beast?!” Bai Luochu muttered softly and instructed the soldier, “Go and look for the captain and gather the soldiers. Look for a place to hide. I will look for His First Highness and Young Master Lu before heading over to check the spirit beast out.”

The soldier felt a new level of respect for Bai Luochu as she could remain calm even after such a huge commotion. In fact, he felt that she was somewhat similar to his Master. He acknowledged the order and went to look for the hundred-man captain.

Pei Rumo and Lu Wenshu had always been vigilant. After hearing the commotion, they quickly wore their clothes and ran out.
