Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1494: Chapter 1493: Second Grade Medicinal Ingredient — Fire Blue Flower!

The earlier Second Grade Spirit Beast clearly wasn’t targeting Su Han, nor anyone else, it was merely passing by this area and Su Han happened to encounter it.

Chen Zhonghai and others were quite fortunate, as the Second Grade Spirit Beast changed its direction after passing Su Han, heading to the left — if it had surfaced directly, they would have had bad luck.

”You’d better all come along.”

Su Han glanced back, his smirk growing bigger, and his speed increased even more.

Chen Zhonghai and the others couldn’t unleash their fastest speed, being in the water wasn’t like being on land; their strength was suppressed.

Moreover, they certainly didn’t want Su Han to know they were tailing him, thus they could only sense Su Han’s presence and trail him from a distance.

What’s laughable is, they didn’t realize that Su Han had already noticed them long ago...

...

Just like that, ten thousand zhang, twenty thousand zhang, twenty-five thousand zhang, thirty thousand zhang...

The deeper the dive, the more suppressed the strength became, Su Han’s pace was only about one-fifth of his original speed.

The same was true for Chen Zhonghai and the others.

”We should have reached four thousand zhang in depth by now.”

Su Han muttered to himself, occasionally catching sight of huge figures swimming from afar.

Instances similar to earlier, when Spirit Beasts approached, didn’t occur infrequently and happened several times, but Su Han managed to evade them all.

With the presence of the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son, not to mention Second Grades, even if the Seventh Grade Spirit Beast showed up, there’s nothing they could do to Su Han.

”Chen Zhonghai and the others must have something to repel the Spirit Beasts!”

Su Han pondered, muttering to himself, ”I can’t believe they haven’t encountered a Spirit Beast after all this time, but there’s been no sign of battle, and their presence is still following me closely.”

Being lucky once is possible, maybe even twice, but three or four times, if it continues like this, Su Han won’t believe it.

Diving to a depth of four thousand zhang, Spirit Beasts are increasing in number, it’s impossible for Chen Zhonghai and his group to never meet a Spirit Beast, how could it be so coincidental?

...

While Su Han was muttering to himself, Chen Zhonghai and his group had equally somber expressions.

”Damn it, it’s already four thousand zhang deep, won’t he stop?”

Chen Zhonghai snorted coldly, ”If not for the Demon Repellent Incense, we would have been chased away by now.”

In his hand was an incense stick, seemingly ordinary, burning and emitting white mist.

Yet whenever a Demon Beast approaches, this mist disperses swiftly, guided by Chen Zhonghai’s Divine Sense to the distance.

The Spirit Beast would be drawn away by this mist, as if attracted by it.

Even the Second Grade Spirit Beast, after struggling initially, eventually follows the mist like other Spirit Beasts.

”Right!”

The fat man added, ”But logically, we have the Demon Repellent Incense to send these Spirit Beasts elsewhere, but that guy doesn’t have it, how has he survived until now? I clearly sensed a Second Grade Spirit Beast approaching him earlier, yet it passed by, as if it didn’t even notice him!”

”That guy probably has something similar to the Demon Repellent Incense!” The sharp-featured man said darkly.

”The Demon Repellent Incense is something we obtained from the Secret Realm on Taiyuan Star; he can’t possibly have it, or does he have some means to conceal his presence?” Chen Zhonghai frowned.

”Captain, our Demon Repellent Incense may be ample, but we can’t keep wasting it like this, pointlessly here.”

The fat man pondered and said, ”Why don’t we... temporarily withdraw? Then when he comes out, we can deal with him.”

”Better think before you speak!”

Chen Zhonghai glared at the fat man, ”You think people of the Mercenary Group of the Heavenly Sea are easy pickings?”

”Isn’t Senior Brother Song still around here? At that time, we can ask them for help.” The fat man said.

”If we let them help, what will we get? The Mosquito Repellent Incense is wasted, too.”

The sharp-featured man was displeased, ”The captain says you’re thoughtless; I think you’re brainless. With Senior Brother Song’s temperament, if they find out about this, even if they kill the guy, we won’t get our hands on the Nine-Heart Lotus Seed, or anything he has!”

”Like that...” The fat man scratched his head and stayed quiet; he really hadn’t considered that.

”Continue following him — going ashore now is truly wasting time and the Demon Repellent Incense!” Chen Zhonghai said.

...

”Come on, let’s go ahead. There are plenty of medicinal ingredients here...”

At three thousand zhang below, Su Han sensed Chen Zhonghai and others continuing their pursuit, and was rather pleased.

His figure flickered, arriving at a water plant emanating a blue glow, and gently plucking a flower from it.

”Luo Yun Grass, a First Grade Medicinal Ingredient, not bad indeed.”

Su Han appeared slightly satisfied and continued diving.

Along the way, he had already acquired over a dozen First Grade Medicinal Ingredients, harvesting abundant bounty.

After all, this was underwater at a depth of four thousand zhang; few people venture here.

Spirit Transformation Realm, Spiritual Body Realm individuals don’t have that power.

As for above the Void Heaven Realm...

Would such strong individuals value these First Grade Medicinal Ingredients? Obviously not.

Thus, leading to a situation where few appear here, and medicinal ingredients are plentiful, often encountered.

Only those like Su Han with the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son, or Chen Zhonghai with the Demon Repellent Incense, had the courage to come.

Yet comparatively, the most fearless is Su Han.

Because the Demon Repellent Incense has little effect on the Third-Grade Spirit Beast.

Perhaps it might struggle for a while, but ultimately, it won’t follow Chen Zhonghai’s commands.

...

Time kept passing.

Upon diving to fifty thousand zhang, Su Han finally discovered the first Second Grade Medicinal Ingredient since entering Green Spirit Lake — the Fire Blue Flower!

The Fire Blue Flower, colored red and blue, encased in a glow, making the flower extraordinarily beautiful, shining brightly underwater.

Among Second Grade Medicinal Ingredients, the Fire Blue Flower isn’t considered high-level; it’s low-level, yet worth far more than any high-level First Grade Medicinal Ingredient, equivalent to the value of a Nine-Heart Lotus Seed, around ten thousand Spirit Crystals!

Su Han’s eyes brightened; one Fire Blue Flower here is akin to over ten thousand Spirit Crystals lying around — how can he not be tempted?

But he didn’t act rashly because for a First Grade Medicinal Ingredient, it’s rare to be guarded by Spirit Beasts, but for Second Grade Medicinal Ingredients, there’s at least a fifty percent chance!
