Chapter 343 - Are you all blind?
“It really is a flower!” Another delicate voice floated over, “Brother, we sure do have good luck, we only just got here and we have encountered a flower!”
Sima You Yue’s face fell as she heard the voices. The two of them were treating them as if they were invisible! She turned around, and saw about ten young people come down from a gigantic spirit beast. The oldest looked like he was a man of twenty to thirty years of age, and behind him were three girls and six boys.
“Brother, there are others here too.” The girl in the jade green dress said as she looked at Sima You Yue and the rest. The man was handsome, but his malicious gaze made him appear less attractive.
He looked at Sima You Yue and the rest and said. “This is the flower that we found, please be on your way.”
Sima You Yue raised an eyebrow. Were they planning to snatch the flower away from them? “Are you all blind?” She said angrily.
“What do you mean?” The girl in the ruby red dress huffed.
“I mean exactly what I said!” Sima You Yue said. “We clearly arrived here first, but you guys are claiming that this a flower that you guys have found. We’re standing right here in front of you and you can’t see us, if you guys aren’t blind I don’t know what you are!”
“You are the blind one!” The girl in the red dress took out her whip and pointed it at Sima You Yue and team. “Whatever you say, we found this flower, you guys should get lost before our kindness runs out!” With that, the people behind her stepped forward to stand at her side, and glared at Sima You Yue and team.
“No wonder when we first met my Master asked why I was not robbing him. So everyone here is a thief.” Sima You Yue said.
“What do you mean by stealing? We definitely saw this flower first. You guys should get lost if not, we will destroy everything, including you and the flower!” The hysterical boy proclaimed.
Sima You Yue glanced over at Beigong Tang, and Beigong Tang nodded, and with one move, flew up to the cliff and dug out the flower from its roots.
This flower, from the moment it bloomed, shared its properties with the entire mountain. Whether it was the flowers, branches or leaves, they could all be used as medicine for alchemy. Especially the flowers, it was an ingredient that could not be overlooked in the making of the pills that Mo Sha had given them.
Seeing that Beigong Tang had completely ignored it all to dig out the flower, the other troupe burned with anger, and the red-dressed girl swung her whip at Sima You Yue and screeched, “How dare you steal our flower! Grab them all!” The others heard her commands and rushed towards Sima You Yue, and Sima You Yue fearlessly charged forwards for an attack.
When Fatty Qu charged forward first and moved into the other team’s area, he gave the hysterical boy a punch in the face, and that boy was no longer able to fight.
“Well done, Fatty Qu!” Sima You Le cried out, seeing Fatty Qu’s great powers.
They never thought that Sima You Yue and the rest would take one of their own people out so quickly, and seeing that Fatty Qu was so strong, they quickly called out all their contract beasts.
“Contract beasts? We have that too!” Sima You Le called out his own beast, and her divine spirit beast gave the other team a great shock. Even their lowest ranking beast was a Rank Five Spirit Paragon. But that’s just comparing their powers, how could they battle against such spirit beasts?
The moment they saw the spirit beasts, they knew that they had reached a dead end, and although they were few in numbers, they were extremely strong and though they wanted to snatch the flower from them, they also did not want to be beat into a pulp by these people. Ten minutes later, other than the three girls who were just slightly hurt, the seven men were beaten so badly that they were barely able to get up from the ground.
Sima You Yue looked at the bunch of them, who were groaning in agony on the ground, and said, “It has always only been me taking from others, no one can take from me. The next time you want to steal from someone please make sure that your eyes are seeing clearly. We will spare you, but others might not.” She looked over at the girl in the red dress with the whip, saying, “The next time you point that whip at me, be careful. I won’t spare someone just because they’re beautiful. Let’s go.” With that, they sat on their own contract beasts and left the cliffs.
The group waited for them to leave before they got up, albeit with much difficulty, and took out pills to eat. “Brother, who are those people, how do they have so many spirit beasts?”
The oldest man had been beaten out of his mind, and said, “Each of them have a spirit beast that is almost equivalent to the power of a spirit paragon. If they’re not forces from the Primordial Lands, then it could only mean that they are one of the the big families in the Primordial Lands.”
“I saw it just now, they have three Spirit Saints, and the other three are high ranking Spirit Overlords. Even that little girl is a Spirit King. Their bone age doesn’t look very old, but they are definitely of greater powers than us.” The girl in the jade green dress said.
The bone age referred to the true age of a person. This was different from a person’s appearance that can change and reverse as a person trains. A person’s bone age was always growing.
“I thought that this could be a pleasant fate, but I never thought that we would be beaten like this.”
“If they really came from up there, or maybe from the Primordial Lands, then we have really messed with the wrong group.”
“Brother, what should we do from now?” The girl in the red dress asked.
“What else can we do?” The man glared at her, saying. “If things are really like this, then we had better avoid them! This isn’t our homeland, if they kill us here we will just die in vain! Let’s just treat our wounds.” Although he felt indignant, they could only let things be this way because they could not afford to get into the bad books of those from the Primordial Lands.
After Sima You Yue and the rest left the cliff, they continued into the mountains. Little Tu said that the deeper they go, the more he could feel the treasure that Sima You Lan had said was there. Before the sky darkened, they came to camp at another mountain, as the whole mountain had no vegetation, but only bare rocks. Sima You Yue placed a protective barrier around their camp, and they started to have their meal.
“That smells so good!” Another group had come in their direction, and a voice had spoken aloud before they had even come close to them.
Sima You Yue felt their presence from before they entered the mountain, but she had not reacted. After all, where they were now was not their own territory, and she could not sense any malicious intent from the people.
“Everyone’s in good spirits.” A girl with a spirit disguise said to them. Sima You Yue and the rest nodded at her to acknowledge her statement.
“It is late, can we share the space here?” The girl asked.
“This place does not belong to us, you can do as you please.” Wei Zi Qi replied.
They encamped close by, and a fatty ran over to them, looking at Sima You Yue and Beigong Tang’s roasted meat, salivating hungrily. He was the one who had called out upon smelling the meat.
The lady walked over, saying, “We are from the Restless Continent and my name is Guo Pei Pei, how about you?”
