Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2068: Surrounded

"Isn't it a bit too much trouble? The ring is already with her. If we just have the little gold coffin retrieve the ring, we can get it easily," Ye Haochuan said with a casual air.

Dou Chi chuckled, "If you possess the capability to make the little gold coffin disgorge its master's possessions, I'll acknowledge it as your skill!"

"Uh..."

Ye Haochuan was momentarily stunned. He was acutely aware of the little gold coffin's fiercely protective nature. There was an instance when Ye Haochuan attempted to compel it to release its master, but it flatly refused even his Essential Blood, turning away without a second thought.

Damn it, it seems that if I wish to rescue Liu Xianglan, I must first save Dou Chi’s sister.

Ye Haochuan felt a surge of intense frustration.

Fortunately, even though the situation had become more complex, there was at least a clear direction now, rather than aimlessly scurrying about like a headless chicken.

"It isn't difficult to save your sister, but since she has been inside the little gold coffin the entire time, you cannot provide her with medicinal stones. So, how exactly do we save her?" Ye Haochuan inquired with curiosity.

"Do you imagine it's that simple? You intend to employ your medicinal cultivation methods, don't you? I can responsibly inform you that with your current cultivation level, regardless of your medical expertise, you will be unable to save her!" Dou Chi stated with utmost seriousness.

Generally, the proficiency of a medicinal cultivator's medical skills is somewhat correlated with their own cultivation realm. If one's cultivation is too low, they lack the capacity to refine high-tier pills or utilize certain advanced medical techniques.

Given Ye Haochuan's present cultivation, his medicinal cultivation aptitude is restricted to the Early Stage of the Immortal Transformation Realm. Beyond the Immortal Realm, the physical body undergoes significant transformations with cultivation advancements, and the demand for sophisticated pills and medical arts escalates accordingly.

"I may not be able to do it, but that doesn't imply no one else can! The primary concern at this moment should still be how to treat her, shouldn't it?" Ye Haochuan responded, feeling rather helpless.

Ever since his association with Half-Mountain Residence, Ye Haochuan's perspective had undergone a considerable shift.

Indeed, Half-Mountain Residence housed a multitude of exceptionally capable individuals, and securing a skilled medicinal cultivator should not prove to be an insurmountable challenge.

"Actually, it doesn't need to be that complicated!"

Dou Chi replied, "In reality, the Crimson Cloud Gold Coffin itself possesses the inherent quality of healing injuries. However, this process incurs a substantial expenditure from the Crimson Cloud Gold Coffin itself."

"Are you suggesting that if I can provide sufficient red crystals to fuel its Spiritual Energy and Flower Energy, she will be fine?" Ye Haochuan mused thoughtfully.

He distinctly recalled that upon their initial encounter with the little gold coffin, it sustained itself by consuming other beings. However, the targets it preyed upon were ordinary individuals, yielding minimal effectiveness.

"That is indeed the case, but my sister's cultivation is exceptionally high, and her injuries are extraordinary. It's probable that without tens of billions to hundreds of billions in red crystals, it won't suffice to support its healing of my sister!"

What in the blazes, tens to hundreds of billions? Even if I sold myself ten or eight times over, it wouldn't be enough!

Ye Haochuan couldn't help but curse internally.

After conversing with Dou Chi for a period, Ye Haochuan's mood remained entirely un-improved.

Perhaps sensing Ye Haochuan's connection to their siblings' revival plan, Dou Chi no longer harbored any animosity towards him and even offered occasional counsel.

Following a silent night, Ye Haochuan was roused by Niu Kui in the early hours of the next morning.

"Brother Ye, it appears we are surrounded!"

"What?" Upon hearing Niu Kui's words, Ye Haochuan sprang to his feet instantly.

He activated his Perspective Eyes and confirmed the presence of over a hundred demon beasts gathered outside, spearheaded by none other than an Azure Flame Wolf King at the Late Stage of the Immortal Transformation Realm.

Damn, it's a good thing I was cautious and erected formations around the cave, otherwise, we would have met our demise without even knowing how!

Ye Haochuan felt a wave of relief.

His current mastery of formations allowed him to effortlessly establish rudimentary first-grade arrays.

He had deployed an Illusion Array and an Entrapment Formation at the cave's entrance. While these formations might not completely halt an Immortal Transformation Late-Stage demon beast, they could undoubtedly impede it momentarily, granting Ye Haochuan sufficient time to strategize.

"The others are not much of a concern, but that leading wolf… I don't think I stand a chance against it!" Niu Kui remarked, standing at the cave's threshold and observing the scene outside, his voice laced with apprehension.

Niu Kui's cultivation was merely at the Early Stage of the Immortal Transformation Realm. Nevertheless, he exhibited a striking nonchalance towards the demon beasts at the Mid-Stage of the Immortal Transformation Realm, which struck Ye Haochuan as rather bold.

However, Ye Haochuan was well aware that Niu Kui genuinely possessed such formidable strength. Wielding the Giant Que, demon beasts at the Mid-Stage of the Immortal Transformation Realm simply lacked the resilience to withstand his ferocious onslaughts.

Ye Haochuan's initial plan was for Niu Kui to practice the Manual of Returning to the Origin of Wondrous Flowers, but Niu Kui found the technique utterly incomprehensible. Out of necessity, Ye Haochuan procured a simpler cultivation technique for him to start with, intending to introduce higher-level methods once Niu Kui had developed some basic cultivation prowess.

Were it not for the current cultivation technique's limited power, Niu Kui's ferocious nature might have allowed him to contend with a demon beast at the Immortal Transformation Late-Stage. However, venturing out under the present circumstances would undoubtedly lead to his demise.

Ye Haochuan lacked Niu Kui's carefree disposition; he meticulously assessed not only the Azure Flame Wolf King but also the overall strength of the surrounding demon beasts.

Unbeknownst to them, this congregation of demon beasts had marshaled their forces and numbers. Setting aside the Immortal Transformation Late-Stage Azure Flame Wolf King, their ranks included three demon beasts at the Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage and over ten more at the Immortal Transformation Early-Stage.

Damn it, how could they possibly fight this?

Ye Haochuan's spirits plummeted to an all-time low.

With his current capabilities, he could manage two Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage demon beasts without much trouble, but dealing with the remainder presented an insurmountable challenge!

During the night, his Invisibility Ability would have been invaluable for surprise attacks. However, with the arrival of daybreak, any possibility of becoming unseen was now extinguished.

"Brother Ye, the demon beasts are beginning their assault! Quickly, you must devise a plan!" Niu Kui urged with sudden anxiety.

Ye Haochuan's gaze shot upward, observing several demon beasts already crossing the threshold into the Illusion Array. Once inside, these creatures stumbled about as if intoxicated.

Yet, this disorientation proved fleeting. The Azure Flame Wolf King fixed its intense gaze upon one of the Illusion Array's core foundations, biting down and obliterating it, thereby shattering the array in an instant.

The Entrapment Formation fared even worse, failing to impede the Azure Flame Wolf King and being forcefully torn apart.

"Charge! Break through!" Ye Haochuan surged forward, brandishing the Halberd of Heaven and Earth. Wherever the halberd swept, bodies accumulated like mountains, accompanied by swirling, frigid flames.

Witnessing this display, Niu Kui refused to be outdone. Wielding the Giant Que, he transformed into a formidable ancient War God, cleaving through the encroaching enemies with devastating force.

Nevertheless, their display of prowess was short-lived, as they soon became the primary targets of the higher-ranking monstrous beasts.

The Azure Flame Wolf King unleashed a piercing howl, causing all the beasts that had surrounded Niu Kui to retreat, clearing the path for the Wolf King's advance.

Concurrently, the other three Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage beasts converged upon Ye Haochuan.

While Ye Haochuan could effortlessly vanquish a single Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage beast, confronting three simultaneously, with the added threat of several Immortal Transformation Early-Stage beasts lurking menacingly, was a truly chilling prospect.

Damn it, we're in serious trouble now!

Ye Haochuan cursed inwardly.

His original intention was to attempt a joint escape with Niu Kui, aiming to force a breakthrough. However, the beasts reacted with such astonishing speed that any avenue of escape was immediately sealed off.
