Chapter 613: Receive a Drop of Water, Repay with a Whole Stream
I thought I would hear something from them soon. However, nightfallhade andno one hade back. I became restless.
Frankly speaking, I wasnt worried aboutSenior Shus safety. Moreover, if thattaming mastercoulddefeathim, he would have alreade back.
While waiting restlessly, I heard someone screaming. Reflexively, Iwentto check. The scenery was the same as before, and nothing had changed yet. I knew they were fighting inside the fantasy scene. I pricked up my earsand triedto listen.
Indeed, I heard metal nging, as well asSenior Shuand thetaming masterscreaming and shouting. From the noise,Senior Shusounded much more intimidating. It seemed hissurprise attackhad seeded. I exhaled in reliefand heldthe Holy Mother Scepter tighter
Around ten minutester, the fighting noise became clearer. Two vague figures slowly appeared in the clear site in front of me. I knew they were about to reappear, so I rushed and hid behind a big rock. Soon, they showed up.Senior Shuwas holding the blood-dripping Emei Piercer in his hand, while the other hand was clutching his chest. He seemed to be wounded.
Thetaming masterwas in aneven worse condition thanSenior Shu. His clothes were ragged, and hehadso many cuts on his body. He was staggering since he had lost a lot of blood.
At thismoment, I was behind him. I had estimated the distance and prepared to storm out to attack him from behind.
Before I could take action, thetaming mastersmiledand pointedatSenior Shu. Hey old man, I admit Im not your opponent. But have you ever thought about why I waiteduntil nightto fight against you?
I recognized that he had a backup n! I retreated behind the rock and observed. Then, I heard fox cries from every direction!
It was the same soundasthe white fox spirit I killed before.Wasnt he dead? I was frightenedand lookedaround.I saw sevenor eight corpses wearing whitegarmentsingfrom all directions. They besiegedSenior Shuand jumped toward him.
Senior Shuonly had the Emei Piercer in his hand. He couldnt confront all of them. I gritted my teeth and was about to jump into the fight. Suddenly, the Holy Mother Scepter vibrated.
I remembered whatSenior Shuhad told me. My eyes turned bloodshot. I started to approach thetaming master. As he was focusing onSenior Shu, he wouldnt be aware of my presence.
Whenthe distance was close enough, I immediately read theBigDipper Sirius Spell. I jumpedand thrustthe Holy Mother Scepter right at hisbackwith all of my strength.
It seemed the man had felt the murderous energy behind him as he turned around. When he saw the sparkling of the Holy Mother Scepter, his eyes were filled with fear. He took a step back and wanted to flee.
I darted the Holy Mother Scepter. Thetaming mastercouldnt dodge it, so he hurried to wield his Nepalese saber. The Holy Mother Scepter released an endless magnificent gold light. It turned into a lightning bolt that hit and broke the saber, then directly pierced through thetaming masters body.
When the Holy Mother Scepter fell, thetaming masterhad a big open wound on his bodyfrom whichblood gushed out like a stream. He couldnt believehis eyes and lookedat his wound in disbelief. In the next moment, he slumped on his knees.
I also couldnt believe that the Holy Mother Scepter was that formidable. Then, I recognized thatSenior Shucouldntholdagainst the white corpses anymore. I hurried torescue him. Unexpectedly, before Iwentthere, they all fell.
Kid, good job!Senior Shugave me a thumbs-up.
I pouted my lips. Youve got such a powerful weapon. Whydidn''t youuse it earlier?
He blew his beardand talkedangrily. Kid,youre really ignorant! The Holy Mother Scepters power needs to be activated, and that can only happen ifitrecognizes its owner. Iallowedyou to use it firstto give you a chance!
All right, allright. How do you feel now?
Senior Shuhintedthat he wanted to give me the Holy Mother Scepter. If it had happened before, I wouldhave beenthrilled and dlyeptedit. But these days in Tengchong, I had always felt that hewas actingas though he was arranging everything before his death. I just smiled and tried to drive the topic away.
Ivegot a few cuts, but Im all right.
Senior Shuwaved his hand then asked me to call Baji. When the linewentthrough, Isaidhappily,Baji, wevedealt withthe tomb robber. Your ancestors tombs are safe now!
Yeah, thank you. Unexpectedly, Baji didnt sound happy. I felt a touch of sorrow in his voice.
I wasnt happy withthe way he spoke and thoughtthat we had almost lost our lives to help them, and they acted as though they didnt care about it.
When I was about to hang up, Baji said that he wanted to give us somegifts.He told us tomeet at the trapping pit tomorrow. I didnt want to receive their gifts, but I was curious. Early the next morning, I askedSenior Shutoe with me, but he didnt want to go.
We need to find the Undead Grass, grandpa! After meeting with them, we will head to the East of Mount Horse Saddle.
Senior Shufinallyagreed to go with me. Oh well, what kind of good stuff could Baji and his kiddo peers give us? I would rather receive a big boar leg
It seemed he loved the roast boar leg here!
Cheerily, we went to the trapping pit. We were shockedto seeBaji and his people wearing white clothes. There was a ck coffin behind them.
I carefully looked at them and found that the second leader of this team, Dazhu, was missing. Baji and the others all had wounds.
Dazhu is gone? I couldnt believe it.
When I received the confirmation, I asked Baji, How did it happen?
He didnt talkandslowlygotup from the ground. He handed Senior Shua box.Senior Shuopened the box. His eyes brimmedwith tears. Undead Grass... Is this the Undead Grass?
I stood next to himandcraned my neck to see his box. Inside the small box was a gleaming blue nt. There were some dabs of dirt on it.
So this iswhatthe Undead Grass looks like!
Then, Baji told me their story with sobs. While we had been dealing with the tomb robber, their team had gone deep into the mountain to find the Undead Grass.
They were the locals, so they knew that many people hade here to find this kind of nt. Although they didnt know the function of the Undead Grass, they understood that the older it was, the betterthe effects would be.
Theyreachedthe most dangerous mountain peak and finally, they foundsome des ofUndead Grass in an old coffin. Unfortunately, they had provoked thezombieinside.
In the end, Dazhudiedand the othersreceiveda lot of wounds. But still, they were able to bring the Undead Grass home.
Senior Shuwas shocked for quite a long time. When he pulled himself together, he got on his knees right in front of the coffin. I followed himand criedsilently.
It hadlefta deep impression on me.There were many times after thatwhenSenior Shuasked me why Igoton my knees at that time, and I always gave him the same answer. Youre my grandfather and you got on your knees. How could I havenotdone thesame?
We smiled at each other because we both knew that we had kneeled to show our respect and gratitude toward the honest Achang fellows.
Receive a drop of water, repay with a whole stream.
This was the virtue that the Chinesewereproud of the most. But now, they were hiding deep in the mountainsandnobody could see them from the outside
