Chapter 918: Chapter 918: Seems to Have Encountered Trouble

The Red Fire Chicken that Fang Bai hunted could be traded for thousands of Essence Stones and dozens of Elixirs, a considerable sum of Cultivation Resources. By sharing just a bit with Liu Liehu and Liu Qingqing, they would have enough to last them a long time.

Thus, Liu Liehu and Liu Qingqing were overjoyed.

Liu Poshan and Liu Qi were also quietly pleased.

They knew this was Fang Bai’s way of looking out for Liu Liehu and Liu Qingqing. With his support, it was foreseeable that both Liu Qingqing and Liu Liehu would make greater progress on the path of Martial Dao in the future.

The Martial Artists of Liuhu Village composed themselves and continued forward.

With this gain, everyone was filled with hope for the journey ahead.

Along the way, Fang Bai’s Divine Sense Diffusion spread out, probing the movements within a thousand meters. Whether it was a Spirit Beast or Spiritual Medicine, he was able to detect them first.

After traveling deep into the mountains for a thousand miles, Spirit Beasts gradually became more common. While Liu Poshan and others were excited, they also felt uneasy, fearing that a high-level ferocious Spirit Beast might suddenly emerge and launch a surprise attack on their team of Martial Artists.

They were lucky; along the way, they encountered only low-level Spirit Beasts. Liu Poshan and the others joined forces to hunt several Spirit Beasts that were one hundred to two hundred years old and picked more than a dozen herbs of the same rank, exceeding the goals they had set before entering the mountains. Everyone was thrilled.

Fang Bai, too, was busy. Any Spirit Beast that escaped from Liu Poshan and the others was immediately targeted by his bow and arrows, and he never missed.

As for the Spiritual Medicines missed along the way by Liu Poshan and others, since most were only one to two hundred years old and not greatly beneficial to his own cultivation, Fang Bai had little interest and let Liu Liehu and Liu Qingqing pick them.

Even though he was just "picking up what was missed," the Spirit Beasts Fang Bai hunted and the Spiritual Medicines he found far surpassed the gains of Liu Poshan and the others.

Seeing Liu Liehu carrying several Spirit Beasts and Liu Qingqing carrying bundles of Spiritual Medicine, Liu Poshan and the others clicked their tongues in admiration and were happy for them.

Just Fang Bai’s gains alone were enough to be traded for tens of thousands of Essence Stones and hundreds of Elixirs when they returned, equivalent to the accumulation of several years’ worth of Cultivation Resources for Liuhu Village.

Moreover, Fang Bai had said earlier that Liu Liehu and Liu Qingqing would share in the Cultivation Resources he exchanged in the future. Even if they only received a tenth of it, that would still be a substantial wealth.

Liu Qingqing and Liu Liehu were immensely happy. The more Fang Bai gained, the more Cultivation Resources they would have in the future. With such a trend, they wouldn’t need to worry about Cultivation Resources anymore.

When they had penetrated nearly two thousand miles into the mountainous area, they faintly heard the roars of tigers, gibbons, lions, and wolves echoing around them.

Fang Bai showed no unusual expression, but Liu Poshan and the others turned pale and trembled with fear.

Beasts like tigers, gibbons, lions, and wolves counted as medium to large Spirit Beasts, and being carnivorous, they were highly aggressive. Encountering one, even a low-level one, would result in a fierce battle.

What Liu Poshan and the others feared most was encountering a mid-level Spirit Beast. That would be big trouble.

The attack power of a mid-level Spirit Beast was comparable to that of a Heaven Level Martial Artist. Even if Fang Bai encountered them, he could only protect himself, and the other Martial Artists would be lucky to escape unscathed.

"Brother Fang, it’s too dangerous to go any further,"

Liu Poshan turned around, walked up to Fang Bai, and said, "The gains from this trip into the mountains have already surpassed the total of the past few years. Everyone is already very satisfied. Why don’t we... head back?"

Dozens of martial artists from Liuhu Village also looked at Fang Bai. Except for Liu Liehu and Liu Qingqing, who had just entered the vast mountains for the first time, everyone else knew that dangerous territory lay ahead, and a sense of retreat sprouted in their hearts.

Originally, according to Fang Bai’s intention, he wanted to go deeper and see what kind of formidable spirit beasts were in the deepest parts of the vast mountains, and whether there were any spiritual medicines that would capture his heart.

Moreover, Fang Bai knew the "Beast Taming Scripture," and as long as he did not encounter a spirit beast much stronger than him, he could subdue it without worrying about safety.

However, seeing the expressions of Liu Poshan and the others, who were clearly too scared to take another step forward, it was evident that they were not in favor of advancing any further.

Fang Bai had no intention of revealing his true strength to Liu Poshan and the others, and the "Beast Taming Scripture" was too miraculous a secret technique. Even if he told them, they would probably find it hard to believe at first.

After a brief contemplation, Fang Bai decided to return to Liuhu Village with Liu Poshan and the others for now and planned to venture back into the depths of the vast mountains alone when he found the time.

"Alright, let’s go back!"

Fang Bai nodded with a smile.

In the team of martial artists from Liuhu Village, Fang Bai had become a pivotal figure, and even Liu Poshan looked up to him, complying with his commands. Seeing him nod in agreement to return, everyone cheered, and thus the rear group became the leading group as they retraced their steps along the same route they had come.

Not long after they started walking, Fang Bai suddenly furrowed his brow, stopped in his tracks, and looked toward the dense forest on the eastern side.

"What’s the matter, Brother Fang?"

Walking behind Fang Bai, Liu Qingqing saw him stop and curiously tilted her head.

Fang Bai sighed and said, "It seems we have run into a bit of trouble..."

Just as he said this, he suddenly shouted, "Folks, if a spirit beast attacks, everyone stand next to that big tree and form a defensive formation!"

As soon as Fang Bai’s words fell, the faces of Liu Poshan, Liu Wu, Liu Qi, and others whitened and they immediately led dozens of martial artists to a giant tree a few dozen meters away, forming a defensive stance.

Once the defensive formation was set up, Liu Poshan and the others nervously looked around but saw no spirit beast, which somewhat eased their tension yet also made them secretly wonder. They thought to themselves, considering Fang Bai’s character, he wouldn’t lie, so where could the spirit beast be?

"Brother Fang, there... I don’t see any spirit beast! Could you have... made a mistake?"

Liu Poshan knew that Fang Bai’s sensing abilities were surely much stronger than those of the martial artists present. Though he spoke so, he was careful not to let his guard down and kept scanning the surroundings.

Fang Bai raised his hand and pointed toward the eastern dense forest, saying, "It’s coming soon! If I’m not mistaken, it should be a Unihorn Tiger... yes, of the middle tier!"

"A Unihorn Tiger? Middle tier?"

On hearing this, Liu Poshan couldn’t help but shiver intensely, his face turning ashen as despair filled his heart.

A Unihorn Tiger was said to be one of the most ferocious spirit beasts in the vast mountains, known for its brutality and powerful attack strength. Even a juvenile Unihorn Tiger with a beast age of only two to three hundred years was enough to give a Heaven Level early-stage martial artist a headache, let alone a middle-tier Unihorn Tiger?

Even with Fang Bai, whose strength was comparable to that of a Heaven Level Martial Artist, and their dozens of Earth Level and Profound Level martial artists, they would likely still be no match for a middle-tier Unihorn Tiger in a full-force counterattack!
