Chapter 2086: Mutated Beast 5
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
No one would have believed her if she had brought back just one mutated beast to the Bounty Pavilion. Thankfully, she had managed to capture two of them, making the trip worthwhile and saving her from being doubted.
Now, the question arose: what should be done with these creatures? Should she take both of them along?
Contemplating the options, Gu Chaoyan couldn’t help but be aware of the incredulity she might face if anyone witnessed what she was about to do next. With determination, she carefully stowed the bleeding stone pillars into her spatial storage, hidden from plain sight.
As she completed the task, a sense of relief washed over her. The mission had been executed more swiftly than she had antic.i.p.ated, despite it being an incredibly high-level a.s.signment.
However….
At the same time, Gu Chaoyan acknowledged the role that luck had played in her success, along with the invaluable a.s.sistance from Little Dragon.
The stroke of luck came from her ability to discern the weakness of the stone pillars ahead of time. This realization infuriated the other mutated beast, causing it to lose some of its composure and act recklessly.
Little Dragon’s guidance, on the other hand, proved to be a crucial factor. It had advised her to target the creature’s eyes, a vulnerable spot devoid of protective flesh, where her white jade sword could deliver a stinging blow. Striking the eyes caused the beast to open its mouth in pain, exposing its vulnerable throat —where its life truly lay. Gu Chaoyan hesitated.
She was in a good mood.
The first mission was completed so fast.
It seemed that she was going to join the Beastmaster Sect soon.
Since the mission was completed, she decided to return to Supreme Sect directly.
As for the others, she did not care. The mutated beast was already dead, and they were not in much danger.
But…
Amidst the conflicting thoughts, Gu Chaoyan contemplated whether she should inform the others that the mutated beasts had already been dealt with, to prevent them from lingering needlessly.
As she wrestled with her decision, her attention was abruptly drawn to the sounds of battle that echoed in the distance, followed by hushed voices engaged in conversation.
Some were familiar, and some were not.
Those who were familiar with it were from Lv Zhengyang’s team, not Gu
Chaoyan.
Something happened?
That was what Gu Chaoyan believed subconsciously.
Although they spoke harshly to her, but they were all disciples of the Supreme
Sect, and she could not just leave them alone.
Gu Chaoyan did not hesitate any more. Instead, she headed towards the direction of the sound.
The moment she just arrived…
Her eyes widened in shock as she witnessed the dire situation unfolding before her. Reacting swiftly, she gripped her white jade sword tightly and rushed to intervene. Seeing Fu Xinde injured, she wasted no time in prying open the sword on his body, providing some relief to his condition. However, when it came to the person responsible, she made sure to act with restraint, inflicting a non-lethal wound to his shoulder, causing blood to flow.
In defense of Di Hongyun, she raised her sword to strike at the other man. But he was prepared and skillfully dodged her attack, displaying a clear advantage in power compared to Gu Chaoyan. Undeterred, he retaliated fiercely with a surge of spiritual energy aimed at her. The encounter seemed to have escalated into a dangerous confrontation, and Gu Chaoyan braced herself for the upcoming clash.
In a flash, Gu Chaoyan came up with a plan and swiftly threw the explosives at the man. Instinctively, he s.h.i.+elded himself, and the explosives detonated, enveloping him in a cloud of dust. Although the explosion didn’t harm him physically, the dust left him feeling uncomfortably itchy.
A mischievous grin appeared on Gu Chaoyan’s face as she reveled in her successful strategy. Those explosives had been specially prepared before her departure, containing various poisons left behind by Lingyun. However, she refrained from using the most severe ones, opting instead for those that caused irritation and discomfort.
With the two adversaries dealt with, Gu Chaoyan turned her attention to Fu Xinde, going over to a.s.sist him to his feet..
