Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Little Black Scouts Ahead, The Pure Jade Vase Speaks

"Master, actually you could have let Xiao Hei go over,"

At this moment, the voice of the Array Spirit once again echoed in Lu Chen’s mind. The Array Spirit had now completely become the Artifact Spirit of the long spear.

As long as a little more time passed and the Array Spirit fully adapted to the long spear, the spear would become a true Spiritual Artifact.

The Artifact Spirit was not a natural consciousness that arose from the spear itself, but rather one that the Array Spirit had forcibly entered. Therefore, there naturally needed to be a period of adjustment between the artifact and the spirit.

However, through the spear, the Array Spirit could now communicate with Lu Chen at any time and place without being discovered by anyone else.

"Why? What if the monster beast strikes at Xiao Hei? That wouldn’t be good!"

Lu Chen furrowed his brows.

"Actually, as long as Xiao Hei doesn’t touch the Spiritual Medicine, no monster beast will attack him. Moreover, if Xiao Hei just goes over to scout the area, it will be even less likely to attract the attention of other monster beasts! Such movements will only make other monster beasts curious to check out if there’s a chance to take the opportunity to snatch the Spiritual Medicine!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen was suddenly taken aback.

The struggles between monster beasts were similar to those of humans; they were all for heaven-sent treasures and cultivation resources!

If those monster beasts went to watch the excitement or to fight over the Spiritual Medicine...

It wouldn’t conflict with Xiao Hei at all!

With Xiao Hei concealing his aura and being so small in size, even as a Black Jiao Snake, who would care?

Most importantly, Xiao Hei’s characteristics as a Black Jiao Snake had completely faded from his appearance.

"Xiao Hei, the Array Spirit told me you could go over and take a look without any danger,"

Lu Chen spoke to the opening of his sleeve.

"Really? Then I will go have a look," Xiao Hei said without hesitation, "Master, we are not afraid of ordinary Qi Refining and Foundation Building, nor ordinary monster beasts. The only fear is..."

Lu Chen was startled and said, "Are you scared it’s the Core Formation Stage?"

"Right," Xiao Hei nodded and said, "Whether it is the Xuanji Sect Master or the unnamed Core Formation Stage who helped you out of a bind, there have been two Core Formation Stages here. So, do you think it’s possible that a third or fourth could appear? Right now we are a bit far away, the Spiritual Power here is abundant, the trees are dense, and it has even affected your Pupil Skill. To tell you the truth, what’s the difference between us and a blind man now?"

Lu Chen was speechless, Xiao Hei’s words were a bit harsh, but he had to admit that if there really was a Core Formation Stage over there, they indeed would be powerless!

There were too many ancient trees here, and the space was limited; otherwise, he wouldn’t be hiding in this place.

Not to mention, his Heavenly Inquiry Spear technique would be restricted.

Trying to use his movement technique to escape wouldn’t allow him to exploit his advantage in speed either.

"Then be careful,"

Lu Chen pondered for a moment before instructing Xiao Hei.

"Don’t worry," Xiao Hei said with confidence while flicking his snake tongue, "I was born in the forests, grew up in the forests, and now my body is small. This place is actually more suited for me than ever. Since the attention of those monster beasts will be elsewhere, they will naturally ignore me! This means that right now, I won’t be in any danger!"

Yet, Lu Chen’s expression remained serious as he cautioned, "Still, be careful. Think about it, how many times have I saved you? If you get unlucky just once, you’d be done for!"

Xiao Hei shrank his neck and could only respond obediently, "Master, I understand."

Only then did Lu Chen nod and say, "There mustn’t be even a hint of carelessness! We can win once or twice, but if we lose... that’s our lives! Do you get it?"

"Yes, Master!"

Xiao Hei nodded vigorously to show he had taken the words to heart before cautiously making his way across the terrain.

He specifically chose the narrow gaps between the giant trees to pass through, because if a larger monster beast attacked, it would be difficult for it to grab him directly.

Of course, Xiao Hei could also get bigger, but once he did, it would pose a threat to other nearby monster beasts, which would lead to them attacking en masse!

This was something both Xiao Hei and Lu Chen could foresee.

In a strange place, it is wiser to keep a low profile.

After Xiao Hei had left, a voice suddenly rang out in Lu Chen’s mind—it was the Artifact Spirit of the Pure Jade Bottle!

"Lu Chen, lad, there’s no Spiritual Power left in this bottle of mine. Since it’s safe here, why don’t we store some in it?"

Lu Chen was taken aback and replied, "Why bring it up now and not earlier or later?"

"Wasn’t it because I saw you refining a Spiritual Artifact earlier? Now that we’ve got some downtime, hurry up and charge me with some Spiritual Power. Otherwise... I’m afraid you won’t be able to deal with the Core Formation Stage when the time comes!"

The words of the Pure Jade Bottle made Lu Chen’s face change dramatically!
