Towards the Path of Heaven

Chapter 162

Yan Chutian and Loring did not act rashly as the giant black beast did not move. After a short battle, they had already sensed that this gigantic beast was most likely at the Fourth Level of the Elixir Realm, which was on par with the strongest Holy Son.

Even Yan Chutian, who could be considered a Chosen Holy Son, would find it extremely difficult to deal with such a beast. But now, not only the two of them, but there was also a existence like a village nearby.

His gaze shifted, and he saw a little girl in cotton clothes shivering inside the collapsed house. He used his slender hands to cover his eyes. Clearly, he thought that death had come for him just a moment ago.

If fighting with that giant beast, even Yan Chutian did not have the slightest confidence to protect this little girl!

"Justin…"

The snake-like tongue of the giant beast flickered nonstop, and its white eyes narrowed as it stared at Yan Chutian and Loring, as if it could pounce at any moment.

But after a long stare, the giant beast did not attack rashly. Instead, he gradually submerged his huge head into the black water and swam along the black water, hiding in the black forest.

Seeing that the giant black beast had left, Yan Chutian and Loring both heaved a sigh of relief. Especially Loring. His strength was still too weak for a high-class Holy Son, so he was even lacking confidence. He even felt that if Yan Chutian was not around, he would definitely get into trouble if he were to face that gigantic black beast alone.

Fortunately, the giant beast had left, and there was no longer any oppressive aura. Immediately after, Loring naturally thought of the little girl. Her delicate body flashed and rushed into the dilapidated house.

Back then, the little girl was still curled up, and her thin body trembled incessantly. Clearly, he was still afraid, and his mind was filled with the appearance of that ferocious giant beast.

However, he immediately heard a soft voice calling out to him. When she lifted her mud-covered face, a beautiful face like a fairy entered her eyes. Why did she say she was a fairy? Because in her eyes, only a fairy-like person could have such a pretty face.

"Rigger ... Sister Fairy?"

Hearing this, Loring was surprised, but she immediately recovered and smiled sweetly at the little girl. Then he caressed the little girl's dirty head with his hands and said gently, "Sister isn't a fairy, but don't worry, as long as brother is here, that monster can't hurt you anymore!"

"Yes!"

The little girl nodded. However, as she nodded, tears flowed out from her beautiful eyes that seemed to contain a starry sky. Her sad appearance was heartbreaking.

…

After half a day, Loring finally calmed the little girl down. At the same time, he also obtained some information from the little girl.

Ever since the sudden appearance of the giant beast, the villages around the Black Water Ridge had all met with misfortune. The little girl's family all died at the hands of the giant beast, leaving only the little girl to escape with the villagers who were lucky enough to survive.

It was just that maybe she was really reluctant to leave the village, her home, or the pain of loneliness and helplessness, the little girl quietly returned to the village alone. What happened next was the scene that the two of them had just seen.

Hearing this, Yan Chutian felt depressed. At the same time, he also felt sympathetic, as this was very similar to his childhood experience in the Heaven Realm. It was just that ever since he had consciousness, he had already become someone, someone who climbed up and rolled on the ground, doing everything he could to survive below.

Hence, Yan Chutian was unwilling to hate that gigantic black beast. He felt that perhaps because of the same thing his family was destroyed, leaving only him who was still a baby to live.

Therefore, whether it was to complete the task or to eliminate the distractions of looking for a Spirit Spreader, Yan Chutian had decided to get rid of that evil spirit beast.

However, he also understood that if he wanted to get rid of spirit beasts with such cultivation, he would have to plan carefully. If he was not prepared enough, the spirit beast would escape, and might even threaten his life.

If that was the case, the situation would not be good.

Seeing that Yan Chutian seemed to be deep in thought, Loring did not even need to ask to know that she had to think about how to deal with that ferocious wild beast. Just like Yan Chutian, he also hated that spirit beast. It caused a problem on the Black Water Back. He really did not know how many lives he had killed, and how many families like the little girl in front of him had been destroyed.

Therefore, he immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Yan Chu, why don't we join forces to enter the Black Water Ridge to search, find the ferocious spirit beast, and kill it?"

Since it was a spirit beast, it was naturally extremely sensitive to the heaven and earth spirit energy. Moreover, the spirit beasts seemed to have just broken through to the fourth level, and the spiritual energy in the surroundings was lacking. This is an opportunity to face it!

With a plan in mind, Yan Chutian gently extended his hand and gestured to Loring. As he took a step forward in confusion, he whispered into his ear and told his plan one by one.

Originally, Loring still blushed due to Yan Chutian's sudden affectionate actions. However, when the other party told him his plans one by one, it made him put aside his unnecessary thoughts. After listening to his plan clearly, the smile on his delicate face became even wider.

"Okay, we'll do what you say! Tell me, what do you want this woman to do?"

"Uh ... When I fight a spirit beast, take care of the little girl."

"…"

After some commotion, half a day passed quietly. Unknowingly, in the small unknown mountain stream on the other side of the Black Water Ridge, a large amount of spiritual energy suddenly spread out.

Looking up, he saw a small jade bottle lying quietly in the messy mud. At this moment, the bottle was opened, and a pill that seemed to glow with starlight was eye-catching. Dense spiritual energy also spread from it.

If a cultivator with good eyesight was here, he would definitely recognize that this was a Star Source Pill. However, in this dark mountain stream, how could such a precious pill be lost?

Dense spiritual energy continued to spread out, and this dense spiritual energy naturally could not be hidden from certain large bodies deep within the Black Forest. To him, this dense spiritual energy was tempting and as sweet as honey, and could not be ignored. However, this huge body was ultimately not acting rashly. His huge body did not move at all, as if it did not feel dense spiritual energy.

However, there is a limit to his patience. As night fell, this huge body quietly passed through the black water, rapidly heading towards the source of spiritual energy.

"Hulala…!"

A huge and ferocious head suddenly shot out from under the black water, and two beams of light shot out from his white eyes, instantly locking the jade bottle in the mountain stream. Despite not knowing what it was, it instinctively knew that it was something very useful to him. Hence, his fierce and ugly face immediately revealed a human-like greed.

However, it seemed that due to caution, the giant beast did not act rashly. It observed from afar and quietly spread its perception, searching for other powerful auras in the surroundings.

After finding nothing, the giant beast finally could not suppress the greed in its heart and immediately pounced, heading straight for the Star Source Pill.

However, when it landed on the mountain stream, a figure that had long been hiding in the darkness suddenly appeared. After glancing at the gigantic beast, he immediately made a hand seal, activating the grand formation he had carefully set up for half a day.

"Heaven Sealing Formations, activate it!"

"Rumb…!"

Rumbling sounds rang out, and the entire earth shook. Around the mountain stream, a radiance of spiritual energy shot up into the sky, dazzling greatly, and trapping the gigantic beast.

At the same time, the jade bottle that opened in the muddy mountain stream had disappeared along with the Star Source Pill, causing the giant beast to pounce on empty air. Under such circumstances, how could the ferocious giant beast not understand that he had been deceived?!

In the next moment, the white eyes of the giant beast locked onto the figure outside the beam of light. How could it be that, who had unlocked his intelligence, did not understand that it was this person who set this trap to lure him here?

Moreover, after several glances, he could also see that this figure was a human who had ruined his plans during the day!

"Justin…"

The snake-like sharp tongue of the giant beast slowly flickered, and its long, narrow eyes felt a piercing chill. It seemed that even though it was separated by the formation, it would still attack people outside.

At the same time, the person standing outside the formation revealed his face. It was Yan Chutian. It was not difficult to understand that the Star Source Pill was a decoy that Yan Chutian had specially prepared to lure the giant beast into his Heaven Sealing Formation.
