Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 987: Meeting Tu Hu Again

Dozens of Antlered Silver Lions, although exchangeable for a considerable amount of Cultivation Resources, weighed a thousand catties each. Moreover, considering the long journey back to Bitao Martial Academy and the numerous dangers on the way, it was not easy to bring back even one, let alone dozens.

For their upcoming cultivation experiences, they could only leave the bodies of these dozens of Antlered Silver Lions behind, which made Hou Ziping feel regretful.

"There’s actually not much to regret..." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Huang Miao’s eyes suddenly lit up, fixing upon the pair of antlers on the head of one of the Antlered Silver Lions. Her right hand wielded the Willow Leaf Saber, slashing fiercely.

"Spurt!"

A flash of silver light and a soft sound later, a pair of antlers fell neatly from the top of the Antlered Silver Lion’s head.

The antlers of an Antlered Silver Lion were known for being extremely hard and sharp, comparable to Hundred Refined Fine Steel. However, after the death of an Antlered Silver Lion, for a short period, its antlers became extremely fragile and could easily be severed with a sword.

If a little more time had passed, the antlers of the Antlered Silver Lion would have become hard and sharp again, and Huang Miao’s Willow Leaf Saber, even if broken, would not have been able to cut them off.

"The most useful part of an Antlered Silver Lion is these antlers. It’s said that grinding these antlers into powder and adding them to the forging process can make weapons tougher and sharper..."

As Huang Miao spoke, she continuously swung a pair of Willow Leaf Sabers, and with each swing, an Antlered Silver Lion’s antler was cut off.

"Don’t just stand there, everyone join in cutting the antlers! Although we can’t take the bodies of these dozens of Antlered Silver Lions, we can take their antlers! With these in hand, we can later exchange them for a lot of Cultivation Resources in the capital."

Huang Miao worked quickly and had harvested seven or eight pairs of Antlered Silver Lion antlers in the blink of an eye.

Hou Ziping, Liu Qingqing, and Liu Liehu also reacted, each drawing their own weapons and imitating Huang Miao to harvest the Antlered Silver Lions’ antlers.

Fang Bai flipped his right hand, pulling out a dagger from his Spatial Ring and made a show of cutting a few pairs of antlers to hang at his waist.

Just as they were joyfully harvesting antlers, a Cultivation Team swooped in from afar with great speed.

This team originally consisted of ten members, but now only five remained, the other five having perished along the way.

The remaining five, each wielding a weapon, clothed in tattered garments, and covered in bloodstains, hadn’t even reached them when an aggressive aura assaulted their senses.

"It’s Senior Brother Tu and his team!"

Huang Miao looked up at the five fast-approaching members of the cultivation team, seeing that the leading person was none other than Tu Hu, the top-ranked Inner Court Disciple.

If this had been before their recent mountain expedition, Huang Miao would not have been afraid of Tu Hu. However, not long ago, Tu Hu had seriously injured Zhou Tong, who ranked eighth on the Core Disciple power list, displaying strength far beyond that of an Inner Court Disciple, which made Huang Miao realize the considerable gap between them and brought about a sense of awe.

The sudden appearance of Tu Hu and his companions here made Huang Miao feel a mix of tension and worry.

The bodies of the dozens of dead Antlered Silver Lions were undeniably tempting for any team out on a mountain training expedition. Once Tu Hu and his companions saw these bodies, they couldn’t possibly remain unmoved.

Moreover, among teams that entered the mountains for cultivation training, they were allowed to compete against each other for resources. If Senior Brother Tu and his group decided to forcibly monopolize the corpses of the Antlered Silver Lions, Huang Miao felt that her group of five would not be able to contend with them.

At this moment, Senior Brother Tu, although appearing wounded with his clothes stained with patches of blood, exuded an unyielding fighting spirit and an intense desire for battle, emitting an unstoppable aura that imposed an immense pressure on Huang Miao.

Huang Miao suddenly felt a sense of despair, believing that just Senior Brother Tu alone could defeat her group of five. If they were to try and snatch the Antlered Silver Lions, her group would definitely not be able to protect them.

Although Senior Brother Tu usually gave a good impression to Huang Miao, the value of several dozen Antlered Silver Lions, each with a lifespan of three to four hundred years, was not trivial. Huang Miao did not believe Senior Brother Tu could resist such temptation.

If Huang Miao were in Senior Brother Tu’s position, she likely would not have shown mercy either, because what Senior Brother Tu was doing was not just for himself but also for his team members.

Huang Miao stopped her actions of harvesting the antlers from the Antlered Silver Lions. She clenched her Willow Leaf Twin Saber tightly, straightened up, and watched warily as Senior Brother Tu and his group approached.

Hou Ziping, Liu Qingqing, and Liu Liehu also tightly gripped their weapons and stared back at Senior Brother Tu and his group with guarded expressions.

Among the five, only Fang Bai appeared relaxed.

Fang Bai’s Divine Sense radiated outward, able to detect any movement within a distance of nearly two thousand meters. He had known about the arrival of Senior Brother Tu’s group long ago but had just not mentioned it.

Compared to the heightened tension and full alertness of Huang Miao and the others, Fang Bai was leisurely, seemingly not worried at all that Senior Brother Tu and his group would try to take what they had collected.

"Ha ha, Junior Sister Huang, we meet again!"

Senior Brother Tu, leading his four team members, approached Huang Miao and others. He first glanced at the corpses of the Antlered Silver Lions scattered around, then scanned the pairs of antlers hanging from the waists of Huang Miao’s group, and laughed heartily.

Huang Miao, seeing a fiery eagerness in Senior Brother Tu’s eyes, felt her heart skip a beat, knowing he harbored thoughts of plundering.

"Yes, Senior Brother Tu, what a coincidence indeed!"

Although Huang Miao was extremely nervous inside, she maintained a calm exterior, sizing up Senior Brother Tu and his group, and asked with surprise, "Senior Brother Tu, what happened to you all? Did you encounter a powerful Spirit Beast, or did you have a conflict with another cultivation team?"

Senior Brother Tu sighed and said, "Don’t even mention it. A few hours ago, we encountered several Red-Tailed Long-Haired Wolves, each with a beast age of three to four hundred years, and barely managed to escape after a fierce battle."

The Red-Tailed Long-Haired Wolf, naturally born with a red tail, is an extremely agile and ferocious Spirit Beast. Although its body is much smaller than an Antlered Silver Lion of the same beast age, its attack power is not inferior.

It was very fortunate for Senior Brother Tu and his group to have escaped from the encirclement of the Red-Tailed Long-Haired Wolves, and with non-severe injuries at that.

"Junior Sister Huang, so many Antlered Silver Lions ... you didn’t kill them, did you?"

Senior Brother Tu’s gaze was fixed on Huang Miao’s face, as if trying to discern some clues.

Huang Miao shook her head and said, "No, we were just attacked by these Antlered Silver Lions and hid in that Stone Forest over there. When we emerged, we found all these Antlered Silver Lions dead ... not sure which senior master took them down, unfortunately, we couldn’t meet him!"

Hearing this, the eagerness in Senior Brother Tu’s eyes intensified.

The sight of these dozens of Antlered Silver Lions’ corpses already stirred a strong desire within him to claim them as his own. Meeting the senior master who had slain these dozens of Antlered Silver Lions and receiving some guidance from him would truly make this trip worthwhile.
