Chapter 124: Leaving First (Special Chapter 13)
After the shell spiritual beasts entered the sand, it was as if they had completely disappeared. There was no trace of them on the sand from the outside.
But only Jiang Xianyue, who was in the midst of the danger, knew that the shell spiritual beasts under the sand were already rushing towards her.
These shell spiritual beasts had not even had enough water to drink, let alone the nectar on Jiang Xianyue.
Jiang Xianyue held her soft sword and looked around warily.
Suddenly, the sand under Jiang Xianyue’s feet suddenly bulged, and a shell spiritual beast broke out of the ground like an arrow from a bow, pouncing fiercely at her.
Jiang Xianyue reacted extremely quickly. Her toes tapped lightly, and she leaped up, dodging the blow.
At the same time, the soft sword in her hand was like a nimble snake, stabbing at the shell spiritual beast’s eyes. Just as the tip of the sword was about to touch the spiritual beast’s eyes, more shell spiritual beasts drilled out of the sand from all directions, forming a circle that trapped her in the middle.
Jiang Xianyue’s heart tightened. She knew that she could not be approached by these spiritual beasts. She circulated the Ice Heart Art, and the soft sword shimmered with a pale blue light, dancing quickly in front of her.
Dozens of ice blades quickly formed in the air and stabbed at these shell spiritual beasts.
Who knew that these shell spiritual beasts would react even faster? After dodging the attack, they burrowed back into the yellow sand.
In this harsh environment, Jiang Xianyue’s ice-elemental spiritual energy was consumed extremely quickly. If she were to be ambushed by these bugs a few more times, then when her spiritual energy was exhausted, she would only be able to wait for death.
As expected, these shell spiritual beasts seemed to have discussed it and came one after another, not giving Jiang Xianyue a chance to catch her breath.
Jiang Xianyue was overwhelmed and soon fell to the ground. Just as the shell spiritual beasts were about to taste the nectar on her body, Su Lian Yue sent all the shell spiritual beasts flying again with a wave of her hand.
Jiang Xianyue was still in shock. She stumbled and fell into Su Lian Yue’s arms. “Sister, these bugs are too fast. I can’t hit them at all.”
When Su Qingyu saw this scene, her back teeth were almost crushed. Why had she been so stupid in the past and not known to show weakness to her master?
Jiang Xianyue’s performance was clearly within Su Lian Yue’s expectations. She pulled her away and was about to demonstrate for her.
Su Lian Yue stood in the middle of the area just now. Under Jiang Xianyue’s surprised gaze, she put on a blindfold.
“You are afraid of some things because you can’t see them. But if you feel them with your heart… you will understand the mystery.”
A few shell spiritual beasts returned to the sand. This time, with Su Lian Yue, they were obviously much more cautious.
But before the shell spiritual beasts could attack, Su Lian Yue’s ears twitched slightly. She took a step forward and changed her palm into a claw, directly grabbing a shell spiritual beast from underground.
This action left Jiang Xianyue dumbfounded. It should be known that just now, Su Lian Yue had grabbed a spiritual beast that was moving so fast with her bare hands without using any spiritual energy.
This was already beyond the scope of a human.
Su Lian Yue casually threw the shell spiritual beast she had caught onto a rock on the side. The force of the throw was so great that the shell spiritual beast began to see stars.
The remaining few were so scared that they didn’t dare to move. Su Lian Yue had no choice but to grab them all out.
Jiang Xianyue looked at Su Lian Yue with admiration, her eyes full of a desire for knowledge. “Sister, how did you do that?”
Su Lian Yue smiled slightly, took off her blindfold, and patiently explained, “When these shell spiritual beasts move in the sand, they will cause slight vibrations. As long as you calm down and listen and feel, you can capture their position.”
“So… you shouldn’t be afraid of things you can’t see in the future, because fear often comes from yourself.”
With Su Lian Yue’s demonstration, these few shell spiritual beasts were in for a bad time. They were used by Jiang Xianyue for training day and night.
But fortunately, Jiang Xianyue did not treat them badly. After each training session, she would even share some food with these shell spiritual beasts.
After getting along for a period of time, these spiritual beasts knew that Jiang Xianyue was using them for training, so they were no longer afraid.
One night, while Jiang Xianyue was asleep, Su Lian Yue took the initiative to find Su Yuebai and Su Qingyu.
At this time, they were lying on a relatively thick branch of a tree in the oasis, counting the stars.
Seeing Su Lian Yue arrive, the two women quickly bowed.
“Are you very eager to go back?”
Su Lian Yue looked at Su Qingyu. Su Qingyu, whose thoughts had been seen through, did not speak.
Su Yuebai on the side expressed her own opinion. “May I ask, Master, when will we look for the second ninth-tier beast core?”
“Haven’t we been looking for it all along?” Su Lian Yue replied without thinking.
Su Qingyu was at a loss for words. This was not looking for it. This was clearly playing with that vixen.
But she did not dare to go against her master’s wishes.
Su Lian Yue saw Su Qingyu’s dissatisfaction and comforted her softly, “It has indeed been difficult for you these days. After she has trained for a while, we will immediately go to the Canglan Nation.”
At this time, Su Qingyu boldly asked, “Is Master planning to take her as a disciple?”
Su Lian Yue shook her head.
Su Qingyu asked again, “Then…”
Seeing that Su Lian Yue was not speaking, Su Yuebai immediately came to her rescue. “Junior Sister, Master must have her reasons for doing this.”
“But Master, this disciple feels that if we are not planning to go to the Canglan Nation during this time, then why don’t we two go to the Canglan Nation first to gather information?”
“At that time, when Master arrives in the Canglan Nation, you can receive our news as soon as possible.”
Su Lian Yue felt that what Su Yuebai said also made sense. This would also save a lot of time.
Su Lian Yue then agreed.
That night, Su Qingyu and Su Yuebai left.
When they left, Su Qingyu was still worried that Jiang Xianyue would sneak a bite while they were away.
Su Yuebai quickly told her to shut up and pulled her away.
