Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2063: This Beast Is Way Too Vigilant!

Ye Haochuan was taken aback by the middle-aged man's forthright nature. Considering Yan Meng's spoiled disposition, it seemed completely unlike his father.

He wondered if the man maintained a different persona in private, or perhaps Yan Meng wouldn't have been allowed to act so outrageously before.

Niu Kui resolved to accompany Ye Haochuan to Mushan County without a second thought.

Though Ye Haochuan wished to avoid involving him, Niu Kui was unyielding in his insistence. Ultimately, Ye Haochuan relented and agreed to let him come along.

Niu Kui possessed a simple, stubborn mind; once a decision was made, nothing could sway him. Ye Haochuan could only feel a quiet sense of being moved by this unwavering resolve.

The group soon reached the Tuo River, the boundary between Anxi County and Mushan County. It was here Ye Haochuan truly grasped the river's perilous nature.

Fearsome Demon Beasts patrolled the waters, their gazes fixed on any potential crossing with lethal intent.

While these beasts were confined to the water and posed little threat to those on the banks, any soul daring to enter the river would undoubtedly be torn apart instantly.

After traversing a considerable distance along the riverbank, Ye Haochuan's party identified a section where the Demon Beasts were less concentrated. Ahead, on the opposing bank, several rocky hills offered potential refuge from any beastly onslaught.

Without delay, the chosen spot was confirmed, and the companions boarded the middle-aged Cultivator's Flying Vessel.

The vessel, though outwardly spherical and appearing small enough for one person to encircle with their arms, possessed a surprisingly spacious interior. Even with Ye Haochuan and Niu Kui inside, ample room remained.

"I shall await you here for a fortnight. Once you reach the other side, I will sense your presence and retrieve you. Should you fail to return within this time, I must assume the worst!" the middle-aged man declared.

Ye Haochuan was profoundly touched. This stranger was willing to wait for him for half a month, a generous commitment indeed.

After expressing his gratitude, Ye Haochuan discreetly presented Yan Meng with a common pill, masquerading it as an antidote. He also bestowed upon him a Three Revolutions Resurrection Pill.

This precious Resurrection Pill was a gift from Liu Bai, the Manor Master of Half-Mountain Residence, and Ye Haochuan possessed only six. Offering one to Yan Meng was a gesture of repayment for his assistance.

While Yan Meng might not have recognized the pill's true value, the middle-aged man's reaction was one of sheer astonishment upon seeing the Spirit-Grade Three Revolutions Resurrection Pill. A newfound solemnity entered his gaze as he looked upon Ye Haochuan.

Anyone capable of casually gifting a second-grade Spiritual Energy Pill was clearly no ordinary individual.

Shortly after, the Flying Vessel ascended, hurtling towards the far bank of the river.

The Demon Beasts in the water stirred upon seeing this, launching a barrage of attacks as they sought to bring down the vessel. Some even breached the surface, attempting to collide with it.

What is wrong with these creatures?

Witnessing such ferocity for the first time, Ye Haochuan couldn't help but inwardly curse.

The middle-aged man's cultivation at the Immortal Transformation Peak was formidable. Under his expert guidance, the Flying Vessel maneuvered with uncanny agility, like a slick fish through the air, evading every assault from the riverborne beasts and landing safely on the opposite bank.

Roar~ Roar~

Seeing their attempts to stop the Flying Vessel thwarted, the Demon Beasts in the river unleashed furious roars towards the heavens.

"This is bad, they're calling for backup!" Ye Haochuan's heart pounded. He quickly urged Niu Kui off the Flying Vessel, guiding them around the rocky hills and into the dense forest nearby.

Had Ye Haochuan hesitated even for a moment longer, they would have been completely encircled by the encroaching horde of beasts.

From the opposite riverbank, the middle-aged man watched with bated breath for Ye Haochuan's safety. Observing the beasts' coordinated frenzy, he sensed that Ye Haochuan and Niu Kui's journey was destined to be fraught with extreme peril.

"Meng'er, where did you encounter this friend of yours?" the middle-aged Cultivator inquired suddenly.

"Uh... I met him in a city within Mushan City. Is something wrong?" Yan Meng replied timidly.

The middle-aged Cultivator, unperturbed by Yan Meng’s peculiar expression, remarked with profound meaning, "If he manages to return alive this time, ensure you forge a strong connection with him. Considering his background, his temperament, and his formidable strength, he is undeniably not simple."

Yan Meng, unaware of the significant value of a Three Revolutions Resurrection Pill, felt a touch of confusion but still nodded his assent.

Damn it all, these Demon Beasts have actually gained sentience!

Ye Haochuan cursed internally as he plunged into the dense thicket.

Logically speaking, even Demon Beasts at the Immortal Transformation Stage should not possess significantly high intelligence. Yet, the Demon Beasts he encountered on this occasion were exhibiting behaviors that utterly baffled him.

"Oh right, take these Pills. If you encounter any dire situations, these can be of assistance!" Ye Haochuan produced several bottles of Pills and instructed Niu Kui to place them within his storage ring.

Among these Pills were some formulated to restore Spiritual Energy and mend injuries. Furthermore, there was a Resurrection Pill and an Escape Pill included.

Both of these were capable of preserving his life during critical moments. Niu Kui was one of his trusted allies; Ye Haochuan felt no hesitation in being generous.

Having attended to these matters, Ye Haochuan did not dare to delay any longer. He could already discern a number of Demon Beasts making their way towards their current location.

Ye Haochuan himself was not particularly concerned—he possessed the ability to suppress his presence, making him difficult for Demon Beasts to detect. However, Niu Kui lacked this capability, and with a physique as robust as a mountain, it was challenging not to attract attention.

As anticipated, before they had traveled far, a Seven-Star Leopard detected their presence.

The Seven-Star Leopard's Perception was exceptionally acute; even the faintest rustle of grass or whisper of wind would not escape its notice.

"We must conclude this swiftly; we cannot allow it to persist, lest it draws a horde of Demon Beasts closer!" Ye Haochuan resolved. The very moment the Seven-Star Leopard materialized, he surged forward, charging directly at it.

This particular Seven-Star Leopard was a Demon Beast in the Early Stage of Immortal Transformation, renowned for its incredible agility and terrifying speed.

Upon witnessing Ye Haochuan's sudden charge, the Seven-Star Leopard—whether sensing a Pseudo-Immortal aura or some other anomaly—instantly propelled itself off the ground with its forelegs. Its rapidly moving form came to an abrupt halt.

Then, its body contorted into an unusual angle, and it sprang directly backward, accelerating away at maximum velocity. As it fled, it unleashed continuous howls, clearly signaling for reinforcements.

Blast it, this creature is far too wary!

A jolt ran through Ye Haochuan’s heart, and he urgently called out to Niu Kui, "Move!"

With those words, the two of them transformed into fleeing predators themselves, racing away at their utmost speed.

However, that Seven-Star Leopard showed no sign of gratitude for having escaped the encounter. Instead, it maintained a determined pursuit, trailing Ye Haochuan and Niu Kui from a distance.

Bloody hell, this pest is proving to be incredibly vexing!

Ye Haochuan seethed inwardly. If he allowed this creature to persistently shadow them, it would inevitably lead an entire pack of Demon Beasts directly to their location.

Ye Haochuan's speed was far from negligible—especially after acquiring the Wind-Riding Technique of a Pseudo-Immortal Late Stage expert, his quickness could be described as traversing a thousand meters in the blink of an eye.

Yet, Niu Kui was evidently not operating at that caliber. He had consistently relied on the sheer brute force of his physique for his sprints. While he was indeed swift compared to ordinary individuals, when contrasted with a Seven-Star Leopard, a creature specializing in speed, a considerable disparity remained.

To ensure their safe escape, Ye Haochuan recognized that eliminating the Seven-Star Leopard would be their primary objective.
