824 Kill Each Other (1/2)

Bu Fang and Nethery looked straight.

The air surrounding them had such thick energy that it was almost materialized into drops of liquid.

Bu Fang raised his hand and touched the hovering dew in the air. Immediately, they dispersed, turning back into thick spirit energy and scattering.

Taking in a gentle breath, the faint smell of medicinal herbs flooded their stomachs.

This place was like an herb garden, but it wasn't actually like an herb garden. Because, compared to the neat and standardized herb garden, this place was utterly disordered.

This place was indeed where the Yellow Spring Grass grew. Blades of grass were everywhere in this riverbank. Their leaves slowly swayed, shook, and even waved.

”Move forward. We need to find a one leaf Yellow Spring Grass near the source of the river,” said Bu Fang. Then, he strode forward.

Nethery was a little bewildered as she didn't think that the Yellow Spring Grass here didn't meet Bu Fang's requirement.

Looking at Bu Fang, who was pacing ahead of her, Nethery felt helpless as she followed him.

The two of them marched along the riverbank, heading to the deeper area.

All of a sudden, their ears were filled with a piercing and rumbling noise. A moment later, a torrential steam slapped their faces.

The two of them were standing on a hill. On their left, the Yellow Spring River's waver surged. The blood water continually seethed, rolling upward from the foot of the hill, becoming a waterfall from the endless source of the river.

The grumbling noise was actually caused by the Yellow Spring River's water flying up from the river pond.

However, it wouldn't catch Bu Fang's and Nethery's eyes with only that. Mainly, there were so many types of spirit herbs growing downhill.

The thick scent of medicinal spirit herbs permeated, rolling and invading the air.

That area had the Yellow Spring Grass and many types of magical spirit herbs. Some even had flowers, whose pollen grains fluttered in the air. Some had newly bloomed flowers and buds, while others had dangling threads with so many fulgent spirit fruits.

The area was packed with colorful spirit herbs, which had mesmerized Bu Fang and Nethery.

However, they didn't dare to act rashly. In the center of the blood water river pond sat a spirit beast as big as a small mountain.

It seemed to be a giant lizard-dragon spirit beast with horns on the head and a gruesome appearance. It was crouching, sleeping, each breath of it stirring the blood water ponds.

That giant dragon had a blood-hued skin, and the light reflected on its shining blood scales could make people shudder.

The water pond gurgled, boiling. Some transparent resentful souls were wandering above the water surface.

”This… This place is the Yellow Spring River's source, isn't it?” asked Bu Fang.

”No… The Yellow Spring River's source is right in that blood pond, under that blood dragon's butt. That blood dragon… isn't something we can provoke. We just need to pick a one-leaf Yellow Spring Grass then we'll run away. I hope that big fellow won't wake up. I didn't expect to see the Blood Illuminating Dragon here, right at the entrance to the Yellow Spring River's source,” said Nethery with an emotionless face and cold eyes.

After a moment's pause, she added, ”The Blood Illuminating Dragon… is a genuine ancient spirit beast at the same level of existence as a pureblood Taotie…”

Bu Fang shivered inwardly. A beast with the same level as a pureblood Taotie was really imposing and awesome.

Bu Fang raked his eye across the area. As soon as he saw a one-leaf Yellow Spring Grass, he would take it and immediately run away.

However, after his eyes scanned the place, he was surprised as he realized that while this valley had many Yellow Spring Grass, the one-leaf grass was extremely rare.

Bu Fang searched for a long time. Finally, his keen eyes spotted a waving, lively one-leaf Yellow Spring Grass in the gap between the rocks under the Blood Illuminating Dragon's butt.

However, Nethery thought that Bu Fang was insane.

Once that Blood Illuminating Dragon was awakened, Bu Fang would be in fatal danger. With the Blood Illuminating Dragon's power, it could swallow him within one bite, leaving nothing behind.

However, when Bu Fang wanted to do something, he would do it immediately. And so, Bu Fang took a step forward and fell freely from the cliff.

His figure dashed toward that area.

The moment he was about to touch the ground, the tip of his foot dipped once, then his entire body sprang, making a beautiful curve before landing on the ground.

The waving spirit herbs around him released a spirit energy that made Bu Fang's heart restless. Those spirit herbs had high values in the Hidden Dragon Continent.

Anyway, Bu Fang's target was a one-leaf Yellow Spring Grass. No matter how attractive the other herbs were, he wouldn't be distracted.

He flipped his Vermillion Robe. The robe flipped once, fluttering.

Bu Fang's body moved agilely and swiftly like a lightning strike, charging toward that one-leaf Yellow Spring Grass.

Boom! Boom!

The Blood Illuminating Dragon was really massive. As he had just observed the beast at a height in front of the valley, without comparing it to any object, Bu Fang thought it wasn't really big. However, now that he was near, Bu Fang lifted his head and felt like facing an enormous, imposing mountain.

The Blood Illuminating Dragon laid on its belly. Its mouth partly opened, letting sticky saliva trickle down. As the Blood Illuminating Dragon breathed, it would cause strong gusts of wind, which Bu Fang couldn't even stand firm against.

However, Bu Fang's body swayed for a while, then darted toward the Blood Illuminating Dragon's belly. A moment later, he saw his target—a one-leaf Yellow Spring Grass.

That Yellow Spring Grass was growing in difficulty between the rocks. Without keen observation, it wouldn't be discovered.

Bu Fang walked carefully, his face expressionless.

On the hill, Nethery held her breath. She was so afraid that Bu Fang would wake up the Blood Illuminating Dragon. If that were to happen, they would become that Blood Illuminating Dragon's turd, which would fertilize the spirit herbs in this entire valley.

As soon as Bu Fang picked that one-leaf Yellow Spring Grass, the immense spirit energy slapped his face.

Bu Fang didn't hesitate. His hand flipped, and the Yellow Spring Grass was collected.

All of a sudden…

The moment he put the Yellow Spring Grass away, the giant body of the Blood Illuminating Dragon slightly moved.

That slight movement shook the entire ground.

Anyway, lucky for him, the Blood Illuminating Dragon had just rolled a little and continued to snore.

Bu Fang slowly crawled away from underneath the Blood Illuminating Dragon's belly, dashing back to Nethery.

”Let's go… We should leave,” said Bu Fang.

Looking at Owner Bu's face, which didn't seem to have changed, Nethery couldn't hide her surprise. This Owner Bu's frame of mind was really good.

Facing the Blood Illuminating Dragon, he showed no fear.
