Chapter 51: Hidden Secrets—Spiritual Herb Hunt
The battlefield had grown eerily silent. The towering trees, bathed in the fading light of the sun, stood as solemn witnesses to the battle’s aftermath. The thick scent of blood lingered in the crisp night air, mixing with the natural fragrance of spirit herbs.
Xiao Chen stood over the lifeless body of the crimson-scaled python, its massive form sprawled across the forest floor. His expression remained calm as he crouched down, making a precise incision along the beast’s skull. Moments later, he retrieved a pulsing, deep-red beast core.
He examined it briefly before placing it into his spatial ring.
Soft footsteps approached.
Xiao Rongyu and Mistshadow walked toward him. The silver-furred wolf strode cautiously, her keen eyes scanning the surroundings for any lingering danger. Xiao Rongyu, on the other hand, had her amber gaze fixed solely on Xiao Chen.
