Chapter 655

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua standing high up on the horse carriage, one of the human-faced monkeys immediately stopped and let out a few stern screams. The human-faced monkey that was about to charge forward also stopped immediately and retreated submissively. At this moment, the giant ape behind also seemed to have seen Zhang Xiaohua and it growled in a low voice and stopped moving forward.

Zhang Xiaohua's group was even more unbearable. Lu Chaoxian and the rest's faces were pale and their hands and feet were trembling. They almost wanted to jump off the horse carriage and run away but their hands and feet were numb, how could they even move half a step?

Thus, the nine people and the group of beasts faced each other in an awkward silence. Only the dense raindrops continued to fall with a 'pitter-patter' sound.

Seeing the Human-Faced Monkey and Giant Ape hesitating, wanting to step forward but not daring to act rashly, the corners of Zhang Xiaohua's mouth curled up into a smile. His figure leaped up and jumped down. Just as he was about to jump in front of the carriage, he heard a "puchi" sound. The muddy water on the ground splashed up, splashing towards the Giant Ape.

Following that, a 'shua' sound was heard and the human-faced monkey standing in front was splashed with muddy water. Even the legs of the giant ape beside it were splashed with a lot of muddy water. That human-faced monkey was shocked and immediately jumped back. The giant ape beside it also jumped back. Their movements were not serious but the human-faced monkey and giant ape who were already nervous were shocked. They screamed and turned around to run. The two that jumped back were also shocked and didn't even turn their heads back. They screamed and followed behind, fleeing in a panic!

In a moment, 'kacha' and 'pitter-patter' sounds could be heard continuously. They were actually in a panic and bumped into the shrubs and small trees in a mess …

"Ah?" Lu Chaoxian and the rest were stunned on the spot. This … they really didn't expect that this was actually the end!

Everyone secretly thought in their hearts, "Could this be the legendary 'when two rivals meet on a narrow path, the courageous will emerge victorious'?"

At this moment, the raindrops above their heads suddenly stopped. It was as if a few years old baby's face had changed in such a short time.

Zhang Xiaohua could still see the back of the giant ape. He somersaulted in the air and directly jumped onto a big tree at the side. "Hahaha" he laughed loudly. He had only done it on a whim and wanted to show his strength to the human-faced monkey. Who would have thought that … he would actually be so "mighty" in the giant ape's heart!

Even he himself couldn't think of it.

After the dark clouds passed, the afternoon sun shone into the dense foliage of the rainforest. The mottled sunlight scattered on the muddy ground, causing some mist to form. Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohua's face revealed a trace of joy. Just three feet away, under a big tree, beside the green vines, a spirit herb with nine sprouts was blooming!

Wasn't this the 'Origin Returning Grass'?

According to the 'Hundred Herbs Compendium', 'Origin' was the beginning of all living things. 'Nine' was the prosperity of all living things. 'Origin Returning' meant to return to the beginning.

'Origin Returning Grass' grew in damp areas. Every time a new bud grew, it would bloom once. The time it took to bloom was not fixed, but the process was very short. When nine new buds had grown, the entire 'Origin Returning Grass' would wither and turn into a seed. It would either stay in the same place or go to another place to germinate.

'Origin Returning Grass' was also famous because of this characteristic.

During the first eight blossoms of the "Origin Returning Grass", its medicinal properties were better each time, but it could not be called a real Spiritual Grass. Only when it bloomed for the ninth time could it be picked and used as a medicine.

Therefore, this was the reason why 'Origin Returning Grass' was so precious.

When Zhang Xiaohua saw the 'Origin Returning Grass', she was overjoyed. Lingering Fragrance Peak's inner disciple, Zhang Pinger, had wandered around the Youlan Grand Canyon for a long time, but had not encountered the 'Origin Returning Grass'. She did not expect that she would encounter it not long after arriving in the rainforest.

Immediately, Zhang Xiaohua took out a jade box from her bosom and used her Qing Gong to fly over. In mid-air, she waved her left hand and struck out a spell. The 'Origin Returning Grass' was also strange. The orange colored Xiaohua slowly bloomed and was about to fully bloom. However, when the spell struck the 'Origin Returning Grass', the flower immediately froze and did not move.

Zhang Xiaohua's figure landed on the ground and was about to put the 'Origin Returning Grass' into the jade box when she suddenly heard a 'Suo Suo' sound. A gust of cold wind blew and a strange red snake bit towards Zhang Xiaohua's finger like the wind!

"Red Stork Snake?"

Zhang Xiaohua was startled and immediately understood, "No wonder Zhang Pinger was bitten by the 'Red Stork Snake'. It turns out that the guardian beast of the 'Origin Returning Grass' was the 'Origin Returning Grass'. Zhang Pinger must have found traces of the 'Origin Returning Grass' and was accidentally bitten by the 'Red Stork Snake'."

Zhang Xiaohua's thoughts flashed in the blink of an eye. The Red Stork Snake had already bitten her finger. Although Zhang Xiaohua had the antidote, there was no need for her to test the poison with her own body. Therefore, she gently pushed the jade box in her right hand towards the poisonous fangs of the Red Stork Snake. "Crack!" A sound was heard and the poisonous fangs of the snake were bitten off.

Although Zhang Xiaohua's jade box was made of dark green jade, it had been refined by Zhang Xiaohua. The surface was also covered with restrictions, so it was as hard as metal. When the Red Stork Snake saw that the 'Origin Returning Grass' was snatched away, it bit down with hatred and used all its strength. Although its poisonous fangs were tough, they could only be broken at this moment.

Without waiting for the poisonous snake to retaliate, Zhang Xiaohua extended her left hand and pinched the snake by three inches. With a flick of her hand, she flung the Red Stork Snake away.

With Zhang Xiaohua's strength and determination, the Red Stork Snake was like an arrow that left the bow. In the blink of an eye, it was nowhere to be seen!

After that, Zhang Xiaohua placed the 'Origin Returning Grass' back into the jade box. Just as she was about to cast another spell, her heart skipped a beat. She retracted her hand and placed the jade box into her bosom. She stood up and returned to the carriage.

Lu Chaoxian and the rest had been waiting anxiously for a long time. In this orchid rainforest, they were like lambs that were placed in a pack of wolves. They could be devoured by unknown beasts at any time. When Zhang Xiaohua left, their hearts were filled with apprehension. When they saw Zhang Xiaohua's figure returning, they all stood up from the carriage.

Zhang Xiaohua didn't reply. She landed on the roof of the carriage and waved her hand. "Let's go quickly."

"Alright." Lu Chaoxian and the rest nodded in agreement. They urged their horses to rush out of the rainforest.

Outside the rainforest was the pool. Moreover, it was already late. However, this was a critical period and the pool was no longer a safe place. Zhang Xiaohua and the rest didn't dare to stay for too long. They only passed by from afar without stopping at all.

Lu Chaoxian discussed with Zhang Xiaohua while driving the carriage. According to him, they shouldn't rest for the night. It was better to rush through the night. However, how could Zhang Xiaohua agree?

However, thinking that there was still a campsite ahead, they should be able to reach it before midnight. Therefore, she took a step back and agreed to rest at the campsite with a stone wall.

Lu Chaoxian's heart was now as if it had grown wings. As long as he could take a step forward, he would take it. Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua insisted, he immediately agreed. Under the starry night, the few carriages sped forward as if they were flying.

In the other direction, Chen Chen and the rest also used their Qing Gong and rushed toward the entrance of the valley. Behind them, there were also a few fierce beasts that followed.

In the northeast direction of the Youlan Grand Canyon, the yellow shadow was also flying in the night sky. However, at this time, its speed had slowed down a lot. Its two claws were not placed on its abdomen but were gently rubbing it. When it was late at night, it could only look at the dark night sky and sigh like a human. It landed on a place to recover its strength and swallow the moonlight.

The moon set and the sun rose. It was a new day.

However, today was destined to be an extraordinary day. The morning sun revealed a little side and hid behind the thick dark clouds. This day was a rare cloudy day in the Youlan Prairie!

Zhang Xiaohua and the rest came out of the campsite and did not follow the original route. Instead, they went straight near the mountain range on the southwest side. This was originally the territory of a pack of jackals and wolves, but now they must have been attracted by the signal of the inner disciples.

Just as Zhang Xiaohua expected, the jackals and wolves were not at home. The other fierce beasts also went to join in the fun. This Youlan Prairie was very quiet. Until late in the morning, they did not encounter any danger. Lu Chaoxian and the rest gradually relaxed. At this speed, they should be able to reach the exit of the Youlan Grand Canyon by tonight. If they were a little faster, they should be able to get out of the jungle.

Just when Lu Chaoxian and the rest were admiring Zhang Xiaohua's divine strategy and wonderful foresight, suddenly, they heard a burst of wolf howls coming from the nearby mountain range!

Lu Chaoxian and the rest were shocked. Even the horse pulling the carriage was trembling. Zhang Xiaohua frowned and jumped on the roof of the carriage. Her hand shaded her eyes as she looked up the mountain. She saw that in the middle of the mountain forest, there was a woman dressed in white who was using her Qing Gong to dash forward. Behind her were dozens of fierce beasts that were about the same size as the blood wolves, but their appearance was somewhat different. They were closely chasing after her while howling. Moreover, the steps of the woman in front were already heavy. Occasionally, she would turn around and attack with her sword. However, she was only able to injure a few fierce beasts. She was not able to kill all of them. Instead, this provoked the fierce nature of the fierce beasts and they chased even more closely.

Zhang Xiaohua landed and told what she saw. Lu Chaoxian exclaimed, "Jackals and wolves!

This is the pack of jackals and wolves. Why didn't they find trouble with the inner disciples?

Oh no, this is bad! "

Zhang Xiaohua didn't have the time to listen to his nagging and complaints. She said in a low voice, "Senior Martial Brother Lu, keep your head down. Senior Martial Brother will continue on the previous route. I will go and save that woman …"

"Junior Brother Ren, you don't know that woman. You … you should come with us. It's just that she's attracting the attention of the wolves. It's just as well …"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Senior Martial Brother Lu, you don't have to say too much. I practice martial arts, but I don't want anything. What use do I have for martial arts when I see a weak girl in danger?"

Without waiting for Lu Chaoxian's reply, he leaped down from the carriage and headed straight for the pack of wolves in the distance.

Behind him, Lu Chaoxian said innocently, "Junior Brother Ren, look at what you're saying. I just want to go with you. Won't … won't I feel safe by your side?"
