The rare beast spits the turtle out of its mouth in front of Gao Ge. Then, it sits before Gao Ge and waves its not-that-long tail with its eyes narrowed as if asking for praise.

“What is this?” Gao Ge asks Xie Zhuolian.

Xie Zhuolian shakes her head.

“I don’t know. I’ve never seen it. Maybe my grandpa knows it.”

“Okay. We may ask Master Xie later.” Gao Ge nods.

After all, Master Xie is old now. He is experienced and knowledgeable.

The instrument spirit in Gao Ge’s body doesn’t say anything now. It must know nothing about the origin of the colorful turtle.

“Little guy, I’ve thought of a name for you. How about calling you Shuibao?” Gao Ge says with a smile, “Look. You disappear after entering the water. And you can bring a treasure for me. Shuibao means water treasure. Doesn’t it sound nice?”

This time, the rare beast immediately nods.

Actually, it is not that satisfied.

However, compared with Xiaoming or Bibi, Shuibao has been very nice.

Shuibao jumps on Gao Ge’s shoulder again while Gao Ge holds out his hand to pick up the colorful turtle. Xie Zhuolian has collected more or less enough herbs. They start going back.

Having taken a few steps, Shuibao crouching on Gao Ge’s shoulder suddenly makes a shrill cry.

Meanwhile, the soft and semi-transparent furs on its body also stand up as if it encountered a crisis.

Gao Ge frowns and immediately motivates his power of stars.

Bang.

Bang.

A huge rare beast suddenly runs across them.

As to Gao Ge and Xie Zhuolian aside, that big beast doesn’t even take a look.

Besides, the rare beast looks very frightening as if being chased by something.

Gao Ge doesn’t take it seriously but he finds that Shuibao on his shoulder goggles in the other direction, its eyes full of fear.

Another cry comes from the direction Shuibao looks at.

“Oh crap!” Gao Ge is astonished.

There is no other reason.

That voice sounds so familiar to Gao Ge.

It’s Shao Shuai!

Hasn’t he gone to look for the fire of herbs?

Gao Ge hands Shuibao to Xie Zhuolian and says, “Be careful. I’ll go and take a look.”

“What?”

“There is a big beast. It’s probably a rare beast at the realm of Grand Master,” Gao Ge says, “Besides, Shao Shuai seems to be targeted by it.”

Xie Zhuolian also hastens to nod.

“Be careful.”

“Yeah.” Then, Gao Ge narrows his eyes and stares at Shuibao, “Protect her. I’ll give you good stuff after I come back.”

Shuibao hastens to nod.

It’s almost about to drool.

Actually, the place where the cry comes from is not far away.

However, Shao Shuai still seems to be moving.

Gao Ge runs wildly and finds rushes of Qi surging around.

A bang comes from the distance and meanwhile, a flame rises.

“What’s this?” Gao Ge is surprised.

There are two cultivators at the realm of Grand Master around Shao Shuai.

Now, Gao Ge can feel one cultivator at the realm of Grand Master only.

What about the other one?

With confusion, Gao Ge also moves faster.

After all, this time, Gao Ge enters the sea of herbs kind of under Shao Shuai’s request.

If Shao Shuai really dies here, Gao Ge is worried that he may have a guilty conscience.

“Hang in there,” he mutters inwardly and also accelerates practicing his power of stars.

…

Shao Shuai is also running fast.

His face has been numb.

He wanted to find the fire of herbs but unexpectedly, he hasn’t found the fire of herbs but a monster at the realm of Grand Master.

More dreadfully, that monster is a bit terrifyingly competent.

One of the two cultivators at the realm of Grand Master he brought is already dead before hanging on for ten minutes.

He was burned to death.

Although it is a monster, the monster at the realm of Grand Master must be no match for the human cultivator at the realm of Grand Master.

However, that monster can spurt out the fire and once one is burned by the fire, even the cultivator at the realm of Grand Master can’t put out the fire.

“What fire is this?”

Shao Shuai hasn’t seen the fire of herbs but now, he feels that the fire spurted out by the monster is not bad.

However, regardless, it doesn’t seem that the monster’s fire can be used by him.

“Young Master, run! I can’t hang on for long!” The surviving cultivator at the realm of Grand Master turns to shout at Shao Shuai.

Shao Shuai is a bit taken aback.

Actually, these two cultivators at the realm of Grand Master are not members of the Shao Family.

They follow him here for some benefits.

Actually, these two cultivators at the realm of Grand Master wanted to enter the sea of herbs.

They want the same thing.

However, he didn’t expect that the two cultivators at the realm of Grand Master should risk their lives saving Shao Shuai.

When they were in the Star Sect, they and the two cultivators at the realm of Grand Master of the Xiaoshan Sword Sect fought a serious fight.

Now, in the sea of herbs, they would like to risk their lives fighting with that monster to save his life.

He just can’t figure it out.

Why?

He’s not Gao Ge. Neither does he have any charm!

“You want to escape?” That monster suddenly says and sneers, “Not a chance!”

Then, it spurts out a ball of fire.

A big fireball is thrown at Shao Shuai.

“Fire beast! Dang!” Shao Shuai flies into a rage and quickly avoids the fireball. As the fireball drops, the green tree instantly turns into charcoal.

“Dang… Dang!” Shao Shuai punches the ground and sweats a lot.

Is the monster in the sea of herbs so terrible?

Even the cultivator at the realm of Grand Master can’t defeat him?

“No. Shao Cangfeng and his father are not dead yet. I can’t die either.” Shao Shuai stands up and wants to escape. He takes a look at the man at the realm of Grand Master who is fighting with the monster. With a bitter smile, he suddenly picks up a stone and throws it at the beast.

“Come on! Idiot! Come after me!” Shao Shuai shouts.

He is clear that if he runs away, the cultivator at the realm of Grand Master will be dead for sure.

One of his helpers is already dead. If the other one also dies, he will have a guilty conscience.

They are paid to help Shao Shuai.

Yet, he can’t really act superior to them.

“Young Master, run!”

“Shut up! I’ll distract it and you should find a chance to attack!” Shao Shuai curses. “Join the Shao Family when we go back. You will be well rewarded. OK?”

That old man is a bit surprised. He takes a look at Shao Shuai and laughs.

“Okay.”

Shao Shuai feels so happy.

He has a loyal helper at the realm of Grand Master.

Even if he dies in the sea of herbs this time, it is still a good bargain!

Suddenly, that old man widens his eyes in astonishment.

“Young Master, watch out!”

It’s too late.

A small fireball goes at Shao Shuai at an extremely fast speed.

Shao Shuai’s expression stiffens.

What the heck!

Is this a sneak attack?
