CHAPTER 319: CHAPTER 319: LITTLE WHITE FALLING INTO A COMA

Even though Chu Miao saw her brother and the others lying there with blood pouring out of their mouths, she didn’t bother with them.

In the path of cultivation, one had to suffer some hardships to grow. Moreover, they had the meditated spiritual spring water. Even though it might take a little while to heal their injuries, unlike taking a healing pill directly, this was also good.

She had once read in a book where a cultivator had suffered great injuries and didn’t have healing pills. He had to rely on herbs to treat his severe internal injuries and would eat the herbs and use his spiritual energy to cultivate and promote self-healing while integrating the medicinal herbs into his injuries.

The injuries were too severe and it took him several months to heal. However, by the time he was healed completely, his body had changed.

Because of the many medicinal herbs he had used, they had seeped into his meridians and every time he circulated his spiritual energy, a healing power was also circulated in the body.

Just like that, he developed a self-healing ability that was ten times faster than normal healing through meditation.

Chu Miao thought that if her companions could develop such an ability even if it was an inferior kind, it would be very useful because no matter how injured they were, as long as they had the time, they would be able to heal themselves.

Therefore, she concentrated on observing Little White who was obviously angry about something and she assumed it had something to do with the pattern on the tree.

Ye Xuan was also surprised by the strength of the little tiger. Chu Miao had told him earlier while coming up that the little thing had the strength of a golden core cultivator when it expanded.

Now, seeing the amount of destruction such a cultivator could do made him determined to grow stronger.

He decided that after they were done with the scouting, they would first put on hold the construction of the bunker and go cultivate at the entrance of the ancient battlefield.

When the battlefield opened, they would have to go in but according to Chu Miao, the elders would probably be unable to enter.

Thus, they could remain behind to work on setting up the sect. With grandpa Chu’s cultivation, together with Chu Mo, He Yan, and Butler Cheng, adding together the elders of the Li family who had already started cultivating, could hold down the fort until they came out of the secret realm.

As the two people watched Little White, its paw suddenly flashed a white light that hit the pattern remaining on the tree trunk and suddenly a puff of black smoke escaped from it.

As if by reflex, both Chu Miao and Ye Xuan acted at the same time.

One shot out a ball of light energy and the other brought down a bolt of lightning from the sky.

Both attacks landed on the black cloud of smoke and from within, they heard a howl like a trapped ghost before everything went quiet again.

Following that, the trunk of the tree that was remaining after the tree had been chopped by Little White turned to ashes.

As if by a miracle, the surrounding plants regained their green color and became vibrant again.

After everything was done, Little White collapsed to the ground and reverted back to its original form.

Chu Miao ran over to it and picked it up.

"Are you alright, Little White?" She asked with concern while examining the tiger to see if it was injured.

Little White was so exhausted and drained that it couldn’t even speak.

It used its connection with its master to reply.

"I am fine, master. I wasn’t hurt, just exhausted. I forcibly took on a larger form before recovering my spiritual energy completely and drained myself again.

Don’t worry, just put me in the spirit beast space, that’s the best place for me to recover and put some of those shiny stones inside. I will recover faster by absorbing them." Little White replied weakly.

Not asking anymore questions, Chu Miao immediately put Little White in the spirit beast space and added a large pile of crystal cores in it.

Luckily, she had collected a lot of crystal cores before. She had enough for Little White to squander.

"Master, that pattern was a half-baked evil array used by someone to transfer the life force of other living beings to them.

They usually need a medium and this one chose that tree. They used the tree to transfer life force from other plants and animals to them.

Luckily, it had been raining heavily and no humans came here. Otherwise, they would become his benefactors.

But now that it has been destroyed and the life force stolen from the plants returned, they must have suffered a severe backlash and won’t last long.

Luckily, whoever set it up was an amateur and obviously didn’t know the real life-transfering array. So, don’t worry about it." Little White used its remaining strength to reassure its master before falling into deep sleep amongst the thousands of crystal cores.

Chu Miao was touched that even in its condition, the contract beast still worried about her thinking too much and still mastered the strength to explain.

She vowed to be better to Little White in the future and kill more zombies to collect more crystal cores for it.

"What happened to Little White?" Ye Xuan asked because he had noticed how distressed his girlfriend looked.

"It fell asleep. It forcefully enlarged itself and used too much spiritual energy, overdrafting.

I have sent it into the spiritual beast space to recover.

Little White said that the pattern on the tree was an evil array used by someone to transfer life force. Those old monsters that refused to die.

However, the array was destroyed and the backlash would kill the person behind it." Chu Miao briefly explained what Little White had said.

"That’s good to know." Ye Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief knowing that the tiger was fine.

After finding out that the tiger shared life and death with Chu Miao, he didn’t want anything to happen to it.
