Chapter 2877 — In Trouble Now
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
It was plain that Zhang Naipao was also prepared to go all out. He had only just advanced to Heaven-rank and did not quite dare use the Drain Spirit Art directly on a Heaven-rank spirit beast, but with matters coming to a head so suddenly, he had no choice but to take the risk—otherwise, as the Sky Thunder Pig said, they would all die here.
"Reveal our strength?" Wei Zhao gave a bitter smile. "Our strength is nothing in the eyes of those spirit beasts. Even Tianchan here probably couldn't frighten them off, could she? That Dongfang Busheng from before—he was a real expert at the peak of late Heaven-rank, wasn't he?"
"Tianchan?" Zhang Naipao was momentarily stunned, then turned to her in surprise. "You're... an expert at the peak of late Heaven-rank?"
"Mm." Tianchan nodded.
"..." Zhang Naipao was briefly speechless, then cupped his hands in salute. "My apologies. I overlooked it before. I didn't realize there was another expert here. That's wonderful—when we face the spirit beasts, you'll be an important ally!"
"With you and Wei Zhao here, how would I dare call myself an expert?" Tianchan realized that before Wei Zhao and Zhang Naipao, she truly had no great advantage. Both of them knew that so-called Infernal XX Fist; even if she was an expert at the peak of late Heaven-rank, one hit from the Infernal XX Fist and she would become a madwoman. Though Tianchan did not believe her resolute mind could not break the Infernal XX Fist, even if she did break it, she would still be at a disadvantage.
"Before me you can call yourself one. I'm afraid of kicks; Zhang Naipao isn't—he's a eunuch," Wei Zhao said.
Tianchan's face flushed at once, and she shot Wei Zhao a glare. But with Zhang Naipao present, she could not well threaten him, so she only gave a cold sniff.
Zhang Naipao, for his part, was puzzled. "What does that have to do with being a eunuch? Are you discriminating against eunuchs?"
"Nothing, just a joke." Fearing Tianchan might explode, Wei Zhao shrugged and was just about to change the subject when he suddenly saw the Sky Thunder Pig trembling all over—and the jade pendant at his chest sent out a warning signal as well!
Danger was coming!
Zhang Naipao seemed to sense something too; he lifted his head and looked into the distance.
It was the sound of spirit-beast footsteps—and in packs, in formation. Zhang Naipao's scalp prickled. This... was no one or two spirit beasts. This was a whole herd of them!
"Sky Thunder Pig, what's going on?" Wei Zhao's expression had turned grim as well.
"At least twenty spirit beasts of Earth-rank and above are heading this way!" the Sky Thunder Pig wrote on the ground.
"At least twenty?" Wei Zhao felt dizzy, and he looked at Zhang Naipao with a bitter smile. "Zhang Naipao, your plan looks like it won't work. With this many spirit beasts, even if you can drain one and I can defend against one, the rest won't give us the chance..."
"Then what do you suggest?" Zhang Naipao was out of ideas too. He had never imagined the Five Baleful Dragon could be so foul. "Did you people offend this Five Baleful Dragon somehow? Why is it so vicious?"
Offend it... they certainly had! But Wei Zhao could not explain the details to Zhang Naipao, so he could only say vaguely, "Isn't coming here for the trial offense enough?"
Tianchan had not expected to run into such danger either, and she too was somewhat at a loss.
Yet just when Tianchan did not know what to do, she suddenly felt something touch her waist. She turned her head and saw that Wei Zhao's hand had actually reached over to grope her—and she was instantly furious!
"What are you doing?" Tianchan said angrily. What kind of moment was this, and he was still thinking of taking advantage? This Wei Zhao... didn't seem like the sort with such base tastes, did he?
