Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2389: Don’t Worry, I’ve Got Your Back!
Previously on Invincible Little School Doctor...
As they spoke, a middle-aged man appeared above the plaza; it was Chen Man, who had once thrown Ye Haochuan into the Seven Charnel Nether Pool.
He said briefly, then suddenly tossed out a mysterious pearl.
The pearl fell to the ground and instantly transformed into a teleportation array.
"The Four Symbols Secret Realm is extremely perilous, everyone, be careful."
After giving a brief warning, Chen Man waved his hand for the people below to step into the teleportation array.
Stepping into the teleportation array, Ye Haochuan immediately felt a dizzying spin of the world.
When he regained his senses, the surrounding environment had undergone a massive change.
It was deep within a dense forest, surrounded by towering trees that reached into the clouds.
The sky was covered by thick clouds, occasionally flashing with thunder and lightning, making the already dim environment even more terrifying.
Screech~
A fierce bird cry came from high above, shattering and splitting stone, originating from those dark clouds.
Upon closer inspection, a massive fierce bird that blocked out the sky and sun was seen traveling through the clouds like a fish swimming in water.
But no one dared to equate it with a gentle fish, for this bird was too ferocious, and just its eyes, like two blood moons, were enough to make one shudder with fear.
"It’s the Hell Demon Phoenix!"
Yin Xirou’s face went slightly pale, her voice trembling as she said, "It’s said that this is the sacred beast guarding the Four Symbols Secret Realm, extremely fierce. If it’s angered, even if the South Sect Master comes, it would mean certain death."
"It’s that strong?"
Tang Yucheng was utterly shocked.
It was said that the South Sect Master had reached the brink of breaking through to the God Lord, an unrivaled existence in the Immortal Realm.
Who would have thought he couldn’t compete with a fierce bird?
"You don’t have to worry; unless someone tries to shake the foundation of the Four Symbols Secret Realm, this Hell Demon Phoenix usually doesn’t descend." Yin Xirou comforted.
Clearly, he was well-prepared for this journey into the Four Symbols Secret Realm.
"Do you know where to find the Formless Spring and Heavenly Soul Mud?"
Ye Haochuan was not familiar with the Four Symbols Secret Realm at all, so he asked directly.
"The Heavenly Soul Mud isn’t hard to find; it’s in a Yin-Horned Swamp not far to the west. But the Formless Spring can only be found in the central area of the Four Symbols Secret Realm!"
Yin Xirou recalled and answered.
The Four Symbols Secret Realm is divided into central and peripheral zones; the peripheral zones are relatively safe for them.
Because most of the demon beasts here are of the True Immortal Realm, not many are of the Void God Realm, and they’re spread out, making them relatively easier to deal with.
But the central zone is different; it is truly fraught with danger. Often, several powerful fierce beasts gather in one place; if encountered, not one in their team would survive.
"I think, this time, we shouldn’t enter the central zone, as it’s just too dangerous!" Yin Xirou timidly suggested.
She knew her battle capability and was really unwilling to take such a risk.
"I don’t want to take risks either, but I have to go!"
Ye Haochuan smiled wryly in helplessness.
He only had this one chance to enter the Four Symbols Secret Realm. If he didn’t get the Formless Spring to rebuild Dou Chi’s body, even if he had another chance, Dou Chi wouldn’t last until five years later.
"I’ll go with you!" Tang Yucheng said with loyalty.
Ye Haochuan was moved but had no intention of letting Tang Yucheng take the risk with him.
"The Formless Spring is for later; let’s look for the Heavenly Soul Mud first!" Ye Haochuan said.
With the plan set, Yin Xirou identified the direction, and they began their trek.
Not far from their departure, three shadows quietly followed them.
This teleportation was targeted; everyone was in this dense forest, so the tracks of Ye Haochuan and his group could hardly be concealed.
"Someone is tracking us!"
Ye Haochuan was very alert, and with the help of Perspective Eyes, there was no way he wouldn’t notice someone following them.
"Maybe they’re just people who happen to be on the same path?"
Yin Xirou said indifferently.
"It’s not coincidental because I saw someone I know among them!" Ye Haochuan said with a sneer.
Yin Xirou still didn’t believe anyone in the South Sect would be harmful to their fellow disciples and persisted: "What if it’s really just a coincidence? We should just keep doing what we are here to do; maybe they’ll change their path later."
A flower that grows in a greenhouse is indeed naive!
Ye Haochuan shook his head and sighed.
However, he didn’t plan to act now; he wasn’t inclined to kill. As long as they didn’t do anything too excessive, he was too lazy to bother about them tracking him.
Roar~
A beast’s roar suddenly came from ahead, followed by a ground-splitting tremor, causing ancient trees to sway dangerously.
"There’s a fierce beast!"
Yin Xirou warned alertly, finding an ancient tree to hide behind first, cautiously peering out to investigate the situation ahead.
This scene left Ye Haochuan and Tang Yucheng looking at each other in amazement.
"Uh, from the sound of it, it should be a Dragon Horn Fire Elephant, cultivation not exceeding the True Immortal Peak, so... it’s not dangerous!"
Tang Yucheng stifled the urge to laugh, trying his best not to hurt Yin Xirou’s fragile heart.
Having grown up making a living by hunting demon beasts to support his sister, he was already well-versed with these creatures, naturally able to recognize them.
"Only True Immortal Peak?"
Yin Xirou silently breathed a sigh of relief, but her pretty face blushed with shame.
In this team, she had the highest cultivation, the only elite disciple, yet she was terrified by a mere Dragon Horn Fire Elephant. It was indeed embarrassing.
She now wished she could find a hole to hide in.
"Speaking of which, the support you found is a bit unreliable, yeah!"
Tang Yucheng’s voice echoed in Ye Haochuan’s mind.
Ye Haochuan was also speechless. This girl was clearly just an innocent Little Bai; why on earth did she insist on adventuring this time? Wouldn’t it be better for her to stay home and practice alchemy?
"Who said she’s support? She is clearly a sweet girl I’m waiting to embrace. As men, isn’t it natural for us to protect her?" Ye Haochuan jokingly replied to Tang Yucheng.
To his surprise, Tang Yucheng, instead of laughing, looked crestfallen as he said, "Brother, are you kidding me?"
"Although we’re operating in the peripheral zones, there’s still a high chance of encountering Void God Level beasties. Those beasts won’t show mercy just because she’s a sweet girl!"
"Don’t worry, I’ve got your back!" Ye Haochuan replied with a nonchalant laugh.
"Get lost!"
Tang Yucheng was frustrated too and couldn’t care less about using voice transmission. He yelled directly at Ye Haochuan.
Of course, he was just speaking and didn’t really want to part ways with Ye Haochuan.
"I’ll take care of that noisy beast, then scout ahead. Follow me!"
Leaving a word, Tang Yucheng dashed forward.
Yin Xirou seemed a little down, but a resolute glint shone in her eyes as she mumbled to herself, "I can’t always be so useless; I must grow stronger. Isn’t that the whole point of me joining this trial?"
This girl is indeed soft on the outside but tough on the inside!
Ye Haochuan heard Yin Xirou’s murmur and couldn’t help but praise her inwardly.
Just as he was about to comfort her with a few words, he suddenly froze, and then a smile tugged at his lips.
"Have you finally decided to make a move?"
