Chapter 452 - 451
Chapter 452 of "Invincible Little School Doctor" opens with: 452: 451 452: 451 As the only person who had been to the Sub-Fire Dimension... Find out what happens!
452: 451 452: 451 As the only person who had been to the Sub-Fire Dimension Realm, Huo Mengyaoâs words were born of experience.
Ye Haochuan and the other two didnât dispute her and followed closely behind, continuing their hurried journey towards the oasis.
Along the way, they came across more and more of their own kind killing each other.
The four of them turned a blind eye and avoided these conflicts.
However, while they could avoid the infighting, they couldnât escape the natural threats of the Fire Sea Desert.
As they reached a sand dune, suddenly, Han Dazhuang called out to everyone, âStop!â
The three of them halted, and Ye Haochuan asked in confusion, âWhatâs wrong?â
âI have a premonition that danger is approaching us,â Han Dazhuang said with a grave expression, âTrust me.â
No sooner had he spoken than all four of them felt a stirring beneath the sand.
Looking down, they saw the sand loosening as one giant fiery-red scorpion after another burrowed out from the sand.
Each of these giant scorpions was enormous, comparable in size to a human arm.
And judging by their number, there were at least a thousand of them, which made everyoneâs scalp tingle.
âBe careful, these are Highly Poisonous Fire Scorpions!â Huo Mengyao shouted loudly.
âWhat should we do?â He Dong asked urgently.
âDonât worry, these Highly Poisonous Fire Scorpions arenât very strong attackers.
The only thing to fear is the deadly poison on their stingers.
To prevent from being bitten, letâs form a triangle formation and support each other to kill these scorpions,â Huo Mengyao shouted back.
âNo, I want to capture them alive!â Ye Haochuan objected.
âAre you insane?â Huo Mengyao screamed.
âThese creatures are deadly poisonous, one bite and youâre dead on the spot!â
Ye Haochuan chuckled, âRelax, watch me!â
As soon as he finished speaking, he summoned the Strange Fire King Cauldron with an expansive gesture.
The moment this colossal object stood on the sand, its three legs sank deeply into it.
âEveryone, get in!â
With a loud shout from Ye Haochuan, he was the first to leap into the cauldron, followed by Huo Mengyao, Han Dazhuang, and He Dong who all jumped in after seeing his example.
As this happened, the Highly Poisonous Fire Scorpions chased after them but faced with the towering Strange Fire King Cauldron, they could only sigh in frustration.
Nevertheless, as more and more Highly Poisonous Fire Scorpions swarmed over, they gradually piled up higher and higher.
Seeing this, Huo Mengyao became anxious, âAre you crazy?
Why donât you start killing them?
If they climb in here, weâre finished.â
âHeh, relax.
None of these creatures can escape the palm of my hand,â Ye Haochuan said with full confidence, âIâm just waiting for them to gather together, then Iâll catch them all in one fell swoop.â
At that, Huo Mengyao was at a loss for words.
After waiting a while, they saw the Strange Fire King Cauldron surrounded by densely packed Highly Poisonous Fire Scorpions, with even more of them continuously climbing up behind.
It was time to act!
At this critical moment, Ye Haochuan unleashed his Extreme Ice Cotton Palm.
Instantly, the frigid True Qi shot out from his palm, and everywhere it passed, the Highly Poisonous Fire Scorpions became stiff as if they had met their nemesis, unable to move.
It was then that Huo Mengyao suddenly realized that he was using the weakness of the Highly Poisonous Fire Scorpionsâtheir aversion to coldâto attack.
However, what puzzled her was why he was doing this.
With that thought, she directly asked him.
âHeh, these Highly Poisonous Fire Scorpions are prime medicinal ingredients.
As a practitioner of both medicine and martial arts, with such a good opportunity, of course, I want to capture them alive to use in pill concoction,â Ye Haochuan explained with a smile.
Only then did Huo Mengyao come to an understanding.
âAlright, stop just watching, hurry up and collect these frozen Highly Poisonous Fire Scorpions, and put them into the cauldron,â Ye Haochuan instructed.
âOkay.â
Huo Mengyao promptly started to work, grabbing the frozen Highly Poisonous Fire Scorpions and tossing them into the cauldron, while Han Dazhuang and He Dong, seeing this, also began to help in unison.
Thus, more and more Highly Poisonous Fire Scorpions were stuffed into the cauldron, but the Strange Fire King Cauldron seemed like a hole that could never be filled, quite magical indeed.
Time ticked by, second by secondâŚ
Almost half an hour later, all of the Highly Poisonous Fire Scorpions had been captured by the four, who then jumped off the Strange Fire King Cauldron.
Ye Haochuan excitedly put the Strange Fire King Cauldron into his Space Storage Ring, saying, âNow thatâs a huge fortune, hehe.â
To others, these Highly Poisonous Fire Scorpions were useless, but to a medical practitioner like him, they were valuable.
Huo Mengyao shook her head, âAlright, letâs hurry on our way.
Delaying too long isnât good.â
âSure!â Ye Haochuan agreed cheerfully.
The four continued their journey and, after trudging for another five hours, suddenly before them appeared an endless stretch of green wilderness.
âWeâve reached the oasis!â
Huo Mengyao was overjoyed, but at the same time, she cautioned, âHowever, everyone should be careful.
The dangers here are no less than those of the Fire Sea Desert, with threats from all kinds of fierce beasts, not to mention our own kind.â
Ye Haochuan and the others tensed up, staying on guard.
As they walked through the dense grass, suddenly, a voice reached their ears, âJunior Sister Huo!â
Ye Haochuan and his companions followed the voice and saw not far off, a group of male and female disciples, also dressed in Ancient Martial Arts Sect insignia robes, sitting around a campfire.
Over the fire were several skinned wild animals that looked somewhat like rabbits.
These individuals, relaxed and composed, which hinted at their formidable strength.
âThey areâŚâ Ye Haochuan glanced at Huo Mengyao.
âTheyâre all from our Sun Moon Alliance.
You guys need to be careful,â Huo Mengyao warned.
âOh,â Ye Haochuan nodded, reminding himself not to speak out of turn lest his past actions of killing members of the Sun Moon Alliance come to light and cause endless trouble.
Lead by Huo Mengyao, the four approached the group of Sun Moon Alliance disciples.
Seeing the four walking over, no one called for them to sit down.
One of the cultivationally talented young men spoke indifferently, âJunior Sister Huo, you left our main group to be with these three?
Arenât you afraid theyâll hold you back?â
âHm?â Ye Haochuan was especially uncomfortable upon hearing this.
Before entering the Sub-Fire Dimension Realm, he had changed into a grey Insignia Robe.
Like the identity card, the color of the robe also indicates oneâs level, with grey symbolizing Mid-Stage Postnatal boundary.
Actually, with Ye Haochuanâs current Postnatal Peak strength, he should have been wearing the robe of that level, but he was different from others who couldnât wait to show off their cultivation level by immediately wearing a new robe upon advancement.
He liked to keep a low profile, to play the fool in order to catch the wise, so he did not do so.
The young man didnât know his real strength, so his contempt was expected.
âSenior Brother Cheng, they are all my friends.
What is wrong with being together with them?â Huo Mengyao said.
Senior Brother Cheng frowned, âJunior Sister Huo, the Fire Elemental Realm is not a safe place.
Not to mention the danger of our own kind hurting each other, the occurrence of fellow sect members hurting each other also happens from time to time.
If they harbor ill will towards you and compromise your life, what then?â
What the hell is this Cheng guy implying?
What does he take us for?
Ye Haochuan was very displeased.
