Chapter 70 - Danger (2/2)

*Huff*Huff*

Maddy fell to his knees. Sweat was pouring down his face like water.

Kuo quickly walked up to him and took out a formation and placed it where the creature had appeared. A shimmering 'shield' appeared and blocked the tunnel.

”What....the fuck...was that...” Maddy asked while breathing heavily.

”An imprint. Just.....an imprint....” Kuo replied hesitatingly. Maddy, Hash and Jin Wang's expression's changed for the worse.

”An imprint? Impossible, it was so strong. Even you wouldn't be able to take on my 'Dragons breath' head-on like that, let alone an imprint!” Maddy shook his head, not accepting it.

”Whatever the fuck that thing is, it's much stronger than me or you. And also, that wasn't a normal imprint. The creature, wherever it is, was controlling it. Otherwise it wouldn't be THAT strong,” Kuo explained and turned back around.

”We have to leave this god damned place as soon as possible. One thing after another keeps popping up. That 'thing' is a very high-level Demonic beast, or something even stronger. But either way, we aren't a match for it,” he said while walking up to Hao Xuan and examining his injuries.

”Should we leave right now?” Hash asked with a furrowed brow.

”No, the captain is in no condition to travel. He took a 'Brute potion' and until recovers a bit, we can't move him. Also, the creature is still very far or at least has something else to do. I think it should be a day or two more until it can get here. We will leave tomorrow,” he took out a small bright green pill and crushed it into a powder, mixed it in some water and poured it down Hao Xuan's throat.

A few seconds later his complexion changed and he was looking much better already. It was a Qi recovering pill.

When Hao Xuan had used ”The Last strike of Samsara”, every single ounce of Qi from his body was used up. That technique wasn't something that could be used by someone at such a low realm. Also, it wasn't complete.

The technique was an immortal grade and only five people in the existence had ever used it, Hao Xuan being the sixth.

Obviously, this wasn't even 1% of its original power and yet it was enough to lay waste to demonic beasts far stronger than Hao Xuan and even him.

*Meow*

A small fluff ball walked out from under Hao Xuan's head. Zhurong had just woken up.

”What I don't understand is, how does that cub never get hurt? And look, it's as clean as the day it was born. How does it stay undisturbed when captain moves around like that?” muttered Mason as he bent down to pet Zhurong but was met with a disdainful look by the little ball of fur.

He casually walked up to Hao Xuan's face, licked him a few times and went up to his chest and laid down, going back to sleep.

”W-Wow. That's a talent as well huh, sleeping like that.....” muttered Mason while scratching his head awkwardly.
