Chapter 413: Physician? Strategist?
Chapter 413: Physician? Strategist?
Operating within the territory of the Night Fiend Clan, one can't help but feel like the wind is relentless despite the calmness of the trees.
Ever since Yu Changsheng slaughtered a group of Night Fiends, an endless pursuit ensued.
The Night Fiend Clan has an astonishing number of members!
Moreover, this clan is particularly sensitive to wind elements, making it easy for the Night Fiends to locate Lu Ran and his team.
Fortunately, Lu Ran possesses the Teleportation Technique: Mirror Blossom Moon!
He can transport his teammates over long distances, preventing them from being surrounded.
Thanks to the Sea Realm Powerhouse, Yu Changsheng, Lu Ran and Deng Yuxiang managed to escape without being completely overwhelmed.
In the midst of this relentless slaughter, the Night Fiend Evil Sculpture in Lu Ran's garden rapidly advanced.
In just ten days, the Night Fiend Evil Sculpture trembled for the second time!
It was on the verge of breaking through to the River Realm Tier 5!
"Let's go!" Lu Ran encircled Deng Yuxiang, who was trembling, with one hand while swiftly casting a spell with the other.
In front of his palm, a ground mirror rapidly took shape.
"Yes!" Yu Changsheng released a terrifying swarm of fish while retreating and fighting simultaneously, quickly entering the ground mirror after a few steps.
Lu Ran hurriedly dispersed the ground mirror.
Instantly, the surroundings became serene and pitch-black.
This was a cave hidden deep within the mountain, also serving as a base for the Flame Sect.
"Pff~"
Yu Changsheng casually released a small fish, instantly illuminating the dark cave with golden silk rain gently falling.
Dragon Carp Divine Technique: Rain Prayer Carp!
This technique combines sensing and purification, and due to its external manifestation, it also provides a certain degree of illumination.
"Master, please..." Deng Yuxiang spoke with a trembling voice.
"What's wrong?" Yu Changsheng's expression was filled with concern as he released two more small fish.
"Pff~"
The light golden Dragon Carp was exquisitely beautiful, exuding an air of luxury.
Its long fins resembled thin silk, gracefully dancing in the air as if in a dream.
Two small fish swam around Lu Ran and Deng Yuxiang, emitting a noble glow and diligently healing the pair.
Dragon Carp Divine Technique: Eternal Carp!
Subsequently, the two small Dragon Carps dove into Lu Ran's embrace, shattering into energy and merging with their bodies.
"Oh my..." Lu Ran's eyes widened, and even his gaze became somewhat dazed.
An extremely vigorous life force surged into his body.
Lu Ran felt as if his entire being was filled with vibrant energy, as if he were about to explode.
Is this the true value of a Sea Realm physician?
In battle, they can crush their opponents with ease.
When saving lives, they can inspire and invigorate others!
Deng Yuxiang trembled and said, "Cancel, Rain, Carp."
Apparently, Yu Changsheng had misunderstood. Deng Yuxiang wasn't injured; she just didn't want him to sense her disheveled state.
She didn't want Lu Ran to see her like this, let alone anyone else.
"Okay." Yu Changsheng immediately dispersed the Rain Prayer Carp.
The cave plunged into darkness once more.
"Uh..." Lu Ran supported Deng Yuxiang, leaning against the stone wall to sit down. Then, he spoke.
In the darkness, Yu Changsheng couldn't see Lu Ran's expression, but his silence seemed to convey a lot.
Yu Changsheng advised, "Sect Leader, please don't be hasty. Cultivating the Nightmare Guardian to ascend to deity status is not something that can be achieved overnight. We will be staying in the Holy Spirit Mountain Realm for a very long time."
"Mr. From Dragon is right," Lu Ran said, one hand supporting his forehead as he rubbed his temples.
Yu Changsheng let out a sigh of relief. Over the past few days, he had come to understand that Lu Ran, though seemingly courteous and polite, was actually a very stubborn person. He never wavered from his word, and his ideas were hard to change. Moreover, Deng Yuxiang's loyalty to Lu Ran was absolute. She centered her life around him, and she would unconditionally obey everything he said when it came to mission-related matters. Yu Changsheng even felt that if Lu Ran asked Deng Yuxiang to go to her death, she would do it. This, in turn, only reinforced Lu Ran's autocratic tendencies.
It was worth noting that when they first encountered the Sea Realm Night Charm Squad, Yu Changsheng had advised Lu Ran to retreat. The appearance of such a high-level demon was undoubtedly a sign of extreme danger! However, Lu Ran had a clear goal and did not choose to retreat immediately. Of course, he had the capital to act so recklessly. The current state of Deng Yuxiang, who was once again in an "abnormal state," was the best proof of this.
Yu Changsheng had seen her in this state once before, a few days ago, when Lu Ran's Night Charm Evil Sculpture advanced from River Realm Tier 3 to Tier 4. After that night, Yu Changsheng had clearly noticed a change in Deng Yuxiang! Her ability to "identify positions by sound" had improved significantly! She was like a human radar, becoming increasingly precise in judging the number, position, and distance of enemies.
This time, as Deng Yuxiang grew further, no one knew how much her abilities would increase. Yu Changsheng was clearly unaware that Deng Yuxiang was in the process of merging. After binding with the Night Charm Evil Sculpture, she merged with it every day. Each time the Evil Sculpture advanced, it was a time of great harvest for Deng Yuxiang. The compatibility between the two would be greatly enhanced at these special moments.
"Once she returns to normal, we will leave," Lu Ran whispered.
He had originally intended to advance the Night Charm Evil Sculpture to the Sea Realm, allowing the Great Nightmare to undergo another astonishing transformation before moving on to the next mission. However, the outside world was indeed too dangerous, so the mission would be put on hold for now.
Yu Changsheng asked, "What are your plans next, Sect Leader?"
Though Yu Changsheng was a Sea Realm cultivator, after joining the Flame Sect, he had placed himself in the position of a guardian, showing great respect to the leader of the Flame Sect. Lu Ran, in turn, held Yu Changsheng in high regard, and their relationship had grown increasingly close over time.
"Let's rest for a few days first," Lu Ran mused. "Do you, Mr. From Dragon, mind if I have a conflict with the human race?"
Yu Changsheng remained calm, "Sect Leader, do you intend to kill human believers?"
"To take revenge."
"Revenge?" Yu Changsheng thought for a moment, "Do you want to trouble the Sword Peak?"
"No," Lu Ran rubbed his temples, "When I first arrived in this realm, the people of Heaven Follower Mountain taught me a lesson. Those bandits who killed and plundered are a menace if left alive."
Yu Changsheng frowned slightly, "Although Heaven Follower Mountain is not a major sect, it has two Sea Realm powerhouses. Given your growth rate, why be in such a hurry to take revenge?"
Lu Ran said solemnly, "I am not so arrogant as to think I can directly kill Luo Tian Tu and Lady Kong. I just want to create some trouble for Heaven Follower Mountain before we head east to find the sea, weakening their strength."
Yu Changsheng had a different opinion, "In my view, Sect Leader should strike with a fatal blow, not just weaken the enemy."
Lu Ran looked at the handsome man, "Hmm?"
Yu Changsheng continued, "The Holy Spirit Mountain Realm is different from other regions. If we fail to eliminate the enemy in one strike, the chieftain of Heaven Follower Mountain will become more wary. He will likely recruit more soldiers, gather more slaves, form alliances, and might even join other forces. When we come back to strike, the enemy will be even harder to deal with."
Lu Ran nodded thoughtfully. The issue was that he had been killing Jade Talisman Disciples and harvesting their souls to prepare for the future killing of Luo Tian Tu. The Jade Symbol Divine Art - Jade Symbol Grand Array might absorb the output damage of Jade Talisman Disciples! And the Holy Spirit Qi that fell from the sky, Lu Ran needed to use to cultivate the Lietyen God Sculpture.
Yu Changsheng earnestly advised, "Sect Leader has extraordinary talent and your combat strength improves at an astonishing rate. Don't put yourself in danger over a momentary conflict. The Nightmare Guardian has already reached River Realm Tier 4, and the Sea Realm is within reach. Once her strength makes a qualitative leap, she will be better equipped to deal with Sea Realm enemies and help the Flame Sect destroy that den of thieves."
Lu Ran remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "Alright."
Yu Changsheng nodded inwardly but was also a bit puzzled. Why was the Sect Leader so easily persuaded? Had he misunderstood him? Or was it that the Sect Leader was genuinely concerned about Deng Yuxiang, so he was swayed?
Lu Ran decided, "Then we will rest for a few days, and then head east to find the sea, to seek the Ink Carp Clan."
"Good," Yu Changsheng lowered his eyes.
He understood that a significant part of Lu Ran's decision to head east was for his sake.
"Thank you, Mr. From Dragon, for your advice," Lu Ran leaned against the stone wall and whispered.
Is this a bonus?
Not only did he bring in a physician, but he also got a strategist.
Yu Changsheng spoke gently and respectfully, "Sect Leader, you are too kind. This is my duty."
