Xiao Ming didn’t move after hearing what the little bear said to her.
Instead, she just looked at the little bear with a look of complete shock as if she couldn’t believe what just happened.
The little bear didn’t seem to mind when it saw her like this.
In fact, it almost seemed like it enjoyed being looked at in this manner by Xiao Ming.
It was as if it enjoyed being looked at like it was a strange creature.
After a long silence, Xiao Ming asked, “Are you sure that you want to give me this?”
The little bear narrowed its eyes to look at Xiao Ming before saying with a snort, “This great one has already said that he would give these herbs to you, human child. Are you trying to make this great one break his words?”
Xiao Ming was shocked to hear this before quickly shaking her head and saying, “No, it’s just that these herbs are quite precious. Are you sure that you don’t want some for yourself?”
The little bear looked down at the Raksha Lightning Grass before saying, “Is this thing precious? It grows all over the place where I live, so it isn’t considered anything to me. Besides, I said that I would give it to you, so just take it.”
Xiao Ming was taken aback by the change in tone from the little bear.
Before, it had spoken in a voice as if it couldn’t be defied at all. It had spoken as if it took itself as the ruler of the world.
But then it swapped to a tone as if it didn’t seem to care about any of this.
Xiao Ming just wasn’t able to keep up with this sudden change and couldn’t help finding this little bear strange.
However, the little bear didn’t care about how Xiao Ming saw it and just went over to the side. It found a bush that it found comfy and then laid down on the bush before saying, “When you’re done, tell me. I want a few more snacks before I leave.”
Xiao Ming and the others from the Love Sect and Demon Palm Sect couldn’t help revealing looks like they didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when they saw the little bear like this.
In the end, they decided to go along with what the little bear wanted.
It was a bunch of Raksha Lightning Grass that was placed in front of them, so they couldn’t help being tempted by them.
If they were to harvest these, then they were certain to take first place in the first round of this tournament.
With these, they wouldn’t even need to do anything on the third day and could just prepare for the next round.
This would surely give them an advantage over everyone else.
So they started gathering the Raksha Lightning Grass.
Or they would have if they didn’t encounter a problem.
The lightning that was coming from the Raksha Lightning Grass was just too strong for most of them to approach. So even if they wanted to harvest the Raksha Lightning Grass, they weren’t able to even touch it in the end.
The only ones that were able to touch it were Huang Xie, Xiao Ming, and Mo Sha.
The three of them were able to use their spiritual energy to form a shield against the lightning of the Raksha Lightning Grass so that they could grab it in the end.
But it was only Huang Xie who was able to harvest it in the end.
The other two found that it was just too draining on them to try and harvest it with this spiritual energy shield up. The lightning from the Raksha Lightning Grass was just too strong for them to guard against for a long time.
If they tried, they would run out of spiritual energy very quickly. Stay tuned for updates on m-v l|-NovelFire
It would be too quick for them to even pull out one blade of Raksha Lightning Grass.
The only reason that it wasn’t as tiring for Huang Xie was because he had a special physique. It was his physique that was blocking it for him and not his spiritual energy shield, so it only used a little bit of his spiritual energy.
He was able to protect himself without using much of his spiritual energy, which meant that he could harvest the Raksha Lightning Grass without a problem.
So in the end, the job of harvesting was left all up to Huang Xie.
Everyone else started securing the perimeter just in case, but it was really because they had nothing that they could do. They had no choice but to stand around, so they wanted to pretend that they were at least being helpful.
While this was happening, the little bear looked up from where it was lying down and it slowly knitted its brows.
After a while, the little bear suddenly asked Xiao Ming, “Human child, why are you being so inefficient?”
Xiao Ming had a very confused look on her face when she heard this, but she still said, “We can’t touch it, so there’s nothing that we can do about this.”
The little bear shook its head and gave a sigh before saying, “Then why not just deal with the source of this?”
Xiao Ming was even more confused when she heard this.
Seeing this, the little bear said, “Dig down and get the source of the lightning. Did you really think that the herbs themselves would be able to release this kind of lightning? They’re just storing the lightning that’s coming from the thing under them.”
“Huh?” Xiao Ming revealed a shocked look when she heard this.
It wasn’t just Xiao Ming who was shocked, everyone else who had been standing around on guard was shocked as well when they heard this.
Not a single one of them thought that there would be such a thing underneath, but if it was the little tiger that was saying this…then there was the chance that it would be true.
So after a moment of hesitating and looking at each other with uncertain looks, they decided to listen to what the little bear said.
Though it was still Huang Xie who did the digging.
When they tried to dig into the ground, they found that there was lightning that suddenly came out of the ground where they tried digging. It was as if there was lightning energy that had been stored in the ground that was released the moment that they dug down.
They would have just ignored it or even blocked it with their spiritual energy, but they found that it was just too strong.
It was even stronger than the lightning that came from the Raksha Lightning Grass.
So if it wasn’t for Huang Xie who had reacted quickly and blocked the lightning for the one that had dug into the ground, then they might have been seriously injured.
As such, it was only Huang Xie who was able to dig into the ground.
This time, the little bear didn’t complain since it could see that there was nothing else that could be done.
Huang Xie dug for a while and during this time, there were other spirit beasts that showed up looking for the Raksha Lightning Grass. After all, the Raksha Lightning Grass was still releasing its spiritual energy all around it.
Xiao Ming and the others would have stopped them, but…
These were spirit beasts that had shown up looking for the Raksha Lightning Grass, so not a single one of them was weak.
The weakest was in the Qi Condensation Realm and there were even Golden Core Realm Spirit Beasts that showed up.
So there was no choice but to rely on the little bear for this matter.
The little bear solved all of the spirit beasts with a single slap, though it seemed like it didn’t want to do this. The only reason it had done it was because Xiao Ming had said, “If you’re going to help us, you should help to the end.”
Since they hadn’t gotten the Raksha Lightning Grass, it meant that it hadn’t repaid its favour yet.
So the only thing that the little bear could do was defend them while Huang Xie dug down.
But with each spirit beast that it beat up or killed, it was getting more and more impatient. So after a while, it kept heckling Huang Xie by saying, “Go faster! What are those muscles for if you dig so slow! Just dig straight down and you’ll find it!”
Huang Xie once again revealed a look like he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this, but he did dig as fast as he could. The problem was that there were bolts of lightning that came out as he dug and he had to protect himself against them.
Not to mention, the bolts of lightning were getting stronger the deeper that he dug into the ground.
It was clear that he was getting closer and closer to the source of the bolts of lightning, so that was why they were getting stronger.
Eventually, Huang Xie was able to reach the source of the bolts of lightning.
But it wasn’t as if that didn’t come with another problem.
The problem was that once the source of this lightning energy was revealed, it released all of the lightning energy that had been suppressed by the dirt.
That meant that all of this turned into lightning bolts that rained down on Huang Xie.
He was hit with all these lightning bolts and sent flying away.
As he flew, there was the smell of smoke that filled the air.
