NOVEL WEB Chapter 150: Getting the Cold Jade Monster Core
However, even though only a small portion of the poison rain had fallen on the trio, it sizzled and burned several large, corroded holes in their skin, deep enough to expose raw flesh.
"Run!"
Chen Yi shouted loudly, beckoning the trio to run in his direction,
Once they were out of danger, Chen Yi put away the formation plate that was hanging in the air,
Then, he summoned the flying boat, pulled the trio aboard, and took off without looking back.
This time, the group was still shaken, regretting their earlier disregard for Chen Yi's advice to run away immediately.
Having flown dozens of miles away and seeing no sign of the black rat demon chasing, the group finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Their narrow escape from the jaws of death this time was truly thrilling,
Song Chengcheng then asked curiously:
"Daoist Chen, how did you know there would be a second tier peak demon beast in that demon beast cave? Also, what was that water curtain just now?"
Chen Yi, piloting the flying boat, was constantly monitoring all directions, avoiding any areas in deep red or beyond,
When they were completely safe, Chen Yi landed the flying boat on a large rock,
Only then did he answer Song Chengcheng:
"Chen Yi has mastered the supplementary art of divination. As we approached the demon cave, I felt a sense of alarm that made my heart race. My spiritual platform was pounding, and my instinct told me to get as far away as possible.
The water curtain was the result of a formation plate I stumbled upon, which established a defensive array method. It's particularly effective against attacks of water nature."
Hearing this, the group marveled at Chen Yi's good fortune. They thanked him for his life-saving actions and admired the ample preparations he had made for this mission.
Next, Chen Yi examined their injuries and provided both external and internal healing medicine accordingly,
For Song Chengcheng, who Chen Yi deemed to have severe injuries, he kindly used his mana to help her remove the poison corroding her shoulder. He insisted on using the Turtle Breath Magical Power to restore her skin to its original smooth and fair condition before deeming her treatment complete,
The other two men, looking envious, also asked for Chen Yi's help,
But Chen Yi declined, citing reasons such as excessive consumption of mana, their injuries not being too serious, and men could afford some scars.
Zhao Chengyu and Wang Tengfei looked disgruntled.
Chen Yi was bluffing them, his healing medicine was indeed very effective for treating the poison rain,
The only issue was that the poison came from a second-tier high-grade rat demon, which had some level suppression on Chen Yi's second-tier low-grade healing medicine, so it would take a little longer to heal.
Regardless, after this encounter, the group began to see Chen Yi in a new light,
It seems that there was a reason for Chen Yi's steady growth over the years in a safe place.
Afterwards, while the group still did not rely on Chen Yi in combat, they began to value his tactical advice, particularly his choices of routes and judgments in battling the demon beast,
They would now consult Chen Yi before making any decisions,
If he said fight, they would fight. If he said not to fight, they would retreat,
In the subsequent half month, everything went smoothly. Their small party had killed three early-second-tier demon beasts and one mid-second-tier demon beast,
Although they were a bit tired, they didn't suffer any serious injuries,
Minor poison and external injuries were easily healed by Chen Yi after the battles,
While the group was weary from mana usage, their cooperation had become more seamless and their mana more solid after several battles,
Chen Yi had also prepared three special types of pills for the group, which maintained mana activity, relieved mental fatigue, and temporarily enhanced mana lethality,
These were all top grade first tier pills, but they were less popular ones. They proved to be quite effective when consumed by cultivators in the early Foundation Establishment stage,
For the first time, the trio felt the advantages of having a physician in their team,
If it had been before, they would have been badly injured, fatigued, and ready to call it quits by now,
But now, they were full of energy, their mana was abundant, and there was an emerging trend of dynamic conflict. The three were in their fighting element, feeling that they might just break through in the heat of the battle!
They did not have to worry about anything. They had someone to treat their injuries, someone to provide medicine, and someone to direct their route and choose their enemies,
The three didn't even have to think - they would just fight whoever Chen Yi pointed out.
All was easy, joyful, and stress-free.
However, the team had already reached 800 miles deep into the demon territory at the edge of a lake on the Demon Island,
With a serious look on his face, Wang Tengfei said, "From the intelligence I gathered, a mid-second-tier Cold Jade Turtle Snake was spotted here."
Song Chengcheng and Zhao Chengyu immediately turned to Chen Yi, waiting for his command.
Chen Yi stared intently at the lake, a bright red light flickering in his vision under the water.
After observing it for many years, Chen Yi had roughly understood that the deeper the color of the spiritual light in his field of vision, the greater the danger,
The bright red light this time was almost indicative of a mid Foundation Establishment stage demon beast. Chen Yi could barely defeat it on his own, but that didn't necessarily mean he could kill it.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Yi nodded: "We can take it on, but be cautious."
Chen Yi then signaled the others to hide behind a large tree nearby. He took a three-foot-long shuttle fish out of his Storage Bag,
"A mid-first-tier Silver Shuttle Fish, the Turtle Snake's favorite food. I've prepared it in advance."
Under the curious gazes of the others, Chen Yi explained.
He gave the fish to the little sand marten to throw into the lake. Attached to the fish was a transparent thread that Chen Yi tied to the root of a large tree. Then, he retreated to a safe distance.
This time, Chen Yi did not poison the fish as he was concerned it might affect the quality of the Demon Core.
