The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1752: Chapter 1752: Hand Over the Fire Night Dragon Herb or Face the Consequences!

The Poison Fog Valley is shrouded in a gray mist all year round. The lower you go, the denser the fog becomes, making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate. Even during daylight, it feels like the sun has completely set.

This faint red glow, though very weak, stands out because it clashes with the surrounding gray, making it appear somewhat eye-catching.

Carson Flores stepped towards the red glow, and Edward Miller quickly followed.

Meanwhile, the group of Five Poisons Hall disciples trailing behind also noticed the red glow ahead.

”Fire Night Dragon Herb!”

Someone knowledgeable instantly shouted, and then a group of Five Poisons Hall disciples rushed forward.

The Fire Night Dragon Herb is an extremely rare medicinal herb, highly valuable, difficult to find. Since they’ve encountered it today, how can they let Carson and Edward take it away?

With so many of them on their side!

”Huff!”

Before Carson could get close to the Fire Night Dragon Herb, a colossal creature suddenly charged out from the gray fog, heading straight for Carson.

Startled, Carson swiftly moved aside, dodging the creature’s attack.

The colossal creature revealed itself in the gray fog—it was a beast that looked like a spider!

Edward’s voice came from behind Carson: ”Be careful, it’s a Demon Eye Serpent Spider, don’t look at the eyes on its back!”

Carson’s pupils narrowed. This creature was a famously vicious beast!

The Demon Eye Serpent Spider looks like a spider, but it has a row of eyes on its back and drags a snake-like body.

The Demon Eye Serpent Spider’s strength varies; the strongest can rival a Heavenly Immortal, while the average can rival a Golden Immortal. Its combat power is formidable, and most importantly, the row of eyes on its back possesses a divine skill similar to an illusionary realm.

When its eyes fix on you, you fall into an illusion, trapped in your own heart demon hell, unable to control yourself. In such a state, who can withstand its attack?

Demonic beasts usually guard the heavenly materials and earthly treasures; considering the immense rarity of the Fire Night Dragon Herb, Carson wasn’t surprised by the beast’s appearance.

Edward threw down the corpse of the Darkwater Toad, and seven swords rose: ”I’ll hold it off for you. You go collect it; once we’re done, we retreat!”

This is no time for courtesy, Carson sidestepped swiftly.

”Alright!”

Carson didn’t attack the Demon Eye Serpent Spider, lest he provoked it, causing it to hunt him down.

Edward had more strength; it was clearly better for him to divert the Demon Eye Serpent Spider’s attention!

The seven swords fell like wind and thunder, and the Demon Eye Serpent Spider swung its claws, fiercely sweeping the swords aside with loud clashing sounds.

Watching this, Carson was secretly shocked.

This Demon Eye Serpent Spider’s combat power could probably rival a Heavenly Immortal. Otherwise, how could it easily counter Edward’s seven swords?

Edward didn’t linger in battle; he dragged the Demon Eye Serpent Spider away as he retreated.

The Demon Eye Serpent Spider indeed took the bait, subconsciously chasing forward, while Carson silently approached the Fire Night Dragon Herb.

With the Death Imprint layered on him, without using spiritual power, he was like a stone hidden at the side, easily ignored by the Demon Eye Serpent Spider.

Carson quickly walked towards the source of the firelight, where a large cluster of herbs resembling orchids emitting a dim firelight appeared in front of him.

It truly was the Fire Night Dragon Herb!

Carson was delighted, not expecting to find it after searching the mountains outside in vain, and stumbling upon it here while looking for the Rainbow Jade Rhinoceros.

What is this?

An impasse followed by a twist of fate?

Just as Carson was about to collect the herb, a flying sword like a thunderbolt appeared at Carson’s side, lunging towards him.

Startled, Carson retreated like lightning.

The flying sword missed its mark, quickly turned, and with tremendous power, attacked Carson again.

The flying sword carried terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations, clearly indicating the attacker was a Golden Immortal!

Carson retreated again.

But then, like a ghost, a figure suddenly emerged from the gray fog, instantly landing in front of the firelit Fire Night Dragon Herb, reaching out remotely.

The large cluster of Fire Night Dragon Herb, along with the soil beneath it, was easily picked up and flew towards the suddenly appearing Five Poisons Hall disciple, smoothly stored into his space ring.

”Haha, got it!”

Forced back twice by the flying sword, Carson turned his head, and his gaze instantly became cold.

With a flick of his hand, the Five Elements Immortal-Slaying Flag shot into the thick fog in five directions, disappearing from sight.

Since he was in the mist, no one saw his action.

The attacking flying sword flew back, hovering before an old man with triangular eyes and a sinister gaze.

Although the two sword strikes just now had the intention of attacking, they also forced Carson away from the Fire Night Dragon Herb, giving others a chance to seize it. Now that they had succeeded, he ceased his attack.

More than a dozen Five Poisons Hall disciples stood in the fog, looking at Carson with mocking and triumphant eyes.

They previously lost to Edward, bound by a wager. They had to obey, but now there was no wager, no rules. Naturally, might made right!

Carson coldly stared at the Five Poisons Hall disciple who took the Fire Night Dragon Herb, remembering his appearance. Then he coldly swept his eyes over everyone, saying coldly: ”Hand over the Fire Night Dragon Herb, and I’ll pretend this never happened, or else... suffer the consequences!”
