Chapter 2224: Chapter 2244: Void Lotus Herb_1

The water pool in the cave was not very large, but the pool water emitted a faint fragrance.

The plant growing on the edge of the water pool had leaves shaped like little umbrellas, very much resembling lotus leaves; yet amid these leaves were many others similar to orchid grass, each leaf shimmering with a crystal radiance.

This light was not strong, but in the pitch-black night, it was very eye-catching.

"Void Lotus Herb!"

Qi Bingbing’s excited voice echoed through the entire mountain cave; everyone had not expected to discover a Void Lotus Herb here!

No wonder such a formidable Magical Beast was lurking here—it must be guarding this Void Lotus Herb.

Lin Chen’s eyes widened. Was this the Void Lotus Herb that could let the Great Luo Venerable ignore bottlenecks for Promotion?

Had they found one just like that?

On second thought, if that Goat Headed Beast could withstand Qi Wuchang’s attacks, being so ferocious and guarding a priceless herb, it completely made sense.

If it were myself, even if I knew the Void Lotus Herb was here, I probably would have had a hard time obtaining it.

Qi Bingbing whispered urgently, "Quick, gather it before the Magical Beast comes back, or we’re all doomed."

If the Goat Headed Beast returned and found out that people were snatching away the precious herb it guarded, the most likely scenario was that it would swallow the herb in one bite, or it would attack everyone in fury, causing the cave to collapse, and in the end, the Void Lotus Herb would be smashed to pieces, and no one would benefit.

Two disciples, thrilled, stepped forward, ready to gather the Void Lotus Herb, but suddenly there was a sound of water in the pool beside them.

At the same time, a dark shadow suddenly shot out from the water, spraying a jet of ink-like liquid at the two disciples.

The disciple at the front was caught off guard and was sprayed directly; he screamed and his body instantly melted like butter in a hot pan!

The disciple behind him reacted quickly. At the moment his fellow was sprayed, he also used himself as a shield against the attack, and a Barrier lit up around him.

The liquid landed on the Barrier, which burst like a pricked soap bubble, tearing a large hole in it.

Fortunately, the Barrier gave him a moment to react; as it burst, he rapidly retreated, avoiding the spray of the black poison.

The black poison landed on the ground, and the rocks on the ground instantly melted away in a puff of black smoke.

Lin Chen and the rest were shocked; there was another Magical Beast hidden in this spring water!

Wasn’t it said that Magical Beasts had an exceptionally strong sense of territory? How could there be two Magical Beasts in one cave?

The creature that emerged from the pool water was a black snake about three meters in length, covered in scales. Calling it a snake wasn’t quite right; it also had very short legs with claws and looked more like a water dragon.

Everyone retreated, but Qi Bingbing yelled, "Attack together! If the Void Lotus Herb is eaten, none of us will be able to avoid blame!"

Everyone was shocked; yes, the Supreme Immortal Qi Wuchang was still outside.

If Qi Wuchang knew there was a Void Lotus Herb in the cave but it was eaten or destroyed by the Magical Beast right in front of them, his wrath would definitely descend upon everyone.

Although the suddenly appeared Magical Beast had instantly killed a Hollow Void Realm disciple with its poison, it didn’t seem to be very strong. Emboldened, everyone took out their Magical Treasures and attacked the serpentine beast.

As expected, the Magical Beast wasn’t strong in combat; it didn’t dare to face the flying swords head-on, sprung up, and once again dived into the water.

Seeing this, Lin Chen reached out for the Void Lotus Herb.

Under Lin Chen’s grasp, the hard rock became as soft as tofu. The Void Lotus Herb, along with a large area of the surrounding soil and rock, had been entirely uprooted by Lin Chen.

At the same time, the Magical Beast that had just dived into the water emerged again, spraying a jet of pitch-black liquid towards the people.

This time, the people were prepared, throwing out Defense Treasures, blocking the poison.

Seeing that Lin Chen had already dug out the Void Lotus Herb, Qi Bingbing called out, "Senior Brother Han, retreat first!"

Lin Chen was not one to be polite. He took the initiative to get the Void Lotus Herb so he would be the one everyone had to protect, right?

If not, he might have to reveal more abilities and possibly expose himself.

Lin Chen flashed out of the cave, while the others continuously threw out defensive artifacts, blocking the poison sprayed by the Serpentine Demon Beast and quickly made their retreat.

After several Defense Treasures were melted and destroyed by the poison as the price, everyone retreated from the cave entrance.

Qi Bingbing flung out a Magical Artifact into the cave.

"Boom!"

The Magical Artifact exploded, the cave collapsed instantly, huge rocks falling down, covering the entire cave and burying the Serpentine Demon Beast within.

In the Sky, the Goat Headed Beast saw the Void Lotus Herb in Lin Chen’s hand; its eyes turned even redder and turned to charge down towards him.

Qi Wuchang’s figure flashed, blocking the Goat Headed Beast: "You’re not going anywhere!"
