Chapter 104: Retreating without results
Xiao Bai was as quick as lightning, as he charged into the slightly cold Stalactite Cave, leaving behind a beautiful white shadow.
“Ice Spirit Herb, Ice Spirit Herb, where is it?”
The Stalactite Cave was very big and very tall, almost having no light pour in, but it wasn’t that dark. There was a faint green glow on the walls and ceiling that lit up this place like it was daytime, also covering it in a mysterious glow.
Three parts water, three parts land, and four parts ice. There was the sound of water dripping that rang through this silent space, there wasn’t the expected cold sensation.
Feng Xiao completely ignored his 30% Ice Resistance.
Without being in the mood to appreciate this, Feng Xiao had Xiao Bai charge into the Stalactite Cave while also opening his heavenly eyes, looking at the various plants all around him.
After six seconds passed, there was a roar of rage that came from outside the cave. Feng Xiao was secretly shocked, praying that the Swift Thunder Swallowing Beast wouldn’t notice that someone had already intruded into its territory. At the same time, his heavenly eyes fell onto three strange herbs that seemed like they were made of crystal.
Ice Spirit Herb: Immortal Grade Herb
Made from the purest ice elemental energy, takes thirty years to grow. It can nourish one’s essence after being taken and better their appearance. Intelligence +20, Water Resistance +5%.
Feng Xiao was overjoyed, he had finally found it.
Feng Xiao quickly jumped off Xiao Bai’s back and fell on the ice beside the Ice Spirit Herb. Before his feet were even stable, he used his “Herb Gathering Skill”.
“Ding, your ‘Herb Gathering Skill’ has failed. Herb Gathering Skill has gained experience.”
“Ding, your ‘Herb Gathering Skill’ has failed. Herb Gathering Skill has gained experience.”
Feng Xiao’s head was covered in sweat. At this time, the Swift Thunder Swallowing Beast’s angry roar came again and it was clearly much closer this time.
Feng Xiao knew this was bad as the actions of his hands didn’t stop.
“Ding, your ‘Herb Gathering Skill’ has failed. Herb Gathering Skill has gained experience.”
“Ding, your ‘Herb Gathering Skill’ has failed. Herb Gathering Skill has gained experience.”
…...
The Ice Spirit Herb was the reason why the Swift Thunder Swallowing Beast guarded the Stalactite Cave all year round. Because it had to take one piece of Ice Spirit Herb to suppress the wild thunder power inside it to avoid exploding, the Ice Spirit Herb could be considered its root of life and the thing it risked its life to protect.
At this time, it was surprised to find that the enemy that had disappeared was inside its nest, currently trying to take its Ice Spirit Herb.
How could that be allowed!
The Swift Thunder Swallowing Beast wildly charged forward. Its horn lit up with thunder and the thunder swept out, but it suddenly realized that thunder had no use on this person, so it immediately charged forward with a roar.
Feng Xiao sighed that it was a pity, as he called back Xiao Bai and used the Space Gate to leave.
“Ai, it really is forced trying to pick an Immortal Herb with just an intermediate level Gathering Skill.”
Feng Xiao thought that with his incredibly high luck, he would have a high success rate even if it was an Immortal Herb, but he never thought that he had miscalculated.
Herb Gathering Skill: Intermediate Level
100% chance of gathering low level herbs, 50% chance of gathering intermediate level herbs, 10% chance of gathering high level herbs, 0.1% chance of gathering Spiritual Herbs, and 0.01% of gathering Immortal Herbs.
An one in a ten thousandth chance! Feng Xiao couldn’t help feeling a headache come over him.
Even if his luck was heaven definy, the chance wouldn’t be more than one in a hundredth. Would the Swift Thunder Swallowing Beast give him that much time?
He would go all out!
Feng Xiao called out Xiao Bai and charged at the Stalactite Cave again. He had been sent to an area of grass that was a hundred meters away from the Stalactite Cave.
“The two beasts hiding inside, immediately scram out here for me!”
As he approached the Stalactite Cave, Feng Xiao immediately began roaring out. The large and small Immortal Beasts were called out and they were excited like they had seen the enemy that killed their father as they immediately charged forward.
Feng Xiao turned to run this time, but the results drove him wild. Once he was fifty meters away from the Stalactite Cave, the two Swift Thunder Swallowing Beasts stopped chasing him and let him escape.
“Damn, Xiao Bai, stun them for me!”
“Ding, your mount ‘Purple Eyed Cloud Wing Tiger’ doesn’t have enough mana and can’t use the Beast King Roar.”
Feng Xiao: …...
Feng Xiao found that Xiao Bai had only recovered 30 MP while in the pet space and it didn’t have an automatic MP recovery skill like Xiao Xiao.
Feng Xiao quickly drank a level 20 High Level MP Potion that had been forgotten forever. The pets and mounts in «Rebirth» could recover MP when their masters drank MP potions.
Xiao Bai’s MP restored to its full value of 100 and it immediately charged at the two Swift Thunder Swallowing Beasts not far away. It released a Beast King Roar and stunned them there.
“Alright, Infinite Space Gate!”
Feng Xiao riding Xiao Bai disappeared on the spot and had a sly smile as he appeared by the Ice Spirit Herb.
Being able to teleport wherever he had been before, although it wasn’t a complete Low Level Spatial Forbidden Spell, the effects matched the words “Forbidden Spell”.
He jumped off Xiao Bai and called it back before Feng Xiao used his Herb Gathering Skill.
“Ding, your ‘Herb Gathering Skill’ has failed. Herb Gathering Skill has gained experience.”
“Ding, your ‘Herb Gathering Skill’ has failed. Herb Gathering Skill has gained experience.”
…...
After ten seconds, Feng Xiao was caught by the Swift Thunder Swallowing Beast again and was sitting on the ground with a depressed look.
After resting up, Feng Xiao charged at the Stalactite Cave again, but this time he almost broke out in tears since it was only the small Swift Thunder Swallowing Beast that came out to greet him.
The old Swift Thunder Swallowing Beast was smart and was guarding the Ice Spirit Herb. It only came out when the little Swift Thunder Swallowing Beast let out a distress call.
Sitting a hundred meters away from the Stalactite Cave where monsters didn’t spawn, Feng Xiao began rattling his brain.
Not fearing the strong, just fearing the strong with brains The Swift Thunder Swallowing Beast that had lived for several thousand years was like this.
After not being able to think of anything after a while, Feng Xiao let out a sigh and opened the «Rebirth» forums.
The forums can be opened at any time in the game, one just needed to call it with a thought for it to appear in front of them and they could use their fingers to browse it.
As expected, most of the posts today were about the tiger mount that had suddenly appeared and the auction for the Guild Formation Token soon. Countless players were shocked and in disbelief that a tiger could become a mount and more were jealous and hopeful, expecting the day when they could catch a wild beast to ride.
But were mounts other than horses really that easy to find?
The post that was at the top of the forum, not sinking even after several days was the video of him killing a hundred people from the Demon Wolf Gang by himself. The post clearly described the might and power of the Asura, as well as the gentleness he had for Yang Xi Ruo among the slaughter.
It had to be said, the one who took the video really was a master. Feng Xiao wouldn’t mind becoming friends with them, filming all kinds of things all day.
