Forsaken Immortals

Chapter 82 - The Outcome Of The Battle

Bai Rouyun felt sore all over; wounds were also appearing on her body, her white outfit was being dyed red from her blood.

Wounds of varying degrees had marred her body, and Bai Rouyun was gritting her teeth together. She held the sword in her hand and attacked with a ferociousness that showed that she was putting her life on the line.

Although she was more wounded than the snake, no fear could be seen in Bai Rouyun's eyes; there was not even the slightest ripple of emotion.

The Crimson Horned Snake was frustrated. It had never encountered anyone who could injure it to such an extent, but just like Bai Rouyun, it did not give up and continued to fight with renewed fierceness.

Bai Rouyun felt her legs staggering underneath her. She was running on her final energy, but she also knew that it was now when the outcome of the battle would be decided.

She grasped the sword in her hand and stood still. So far, she had been like a fairy, fluttering around while relying on the Flowing Feather Step to avoid attacks, but this time she stopped in her tracks and looked at the Crimson Horned Snake.

Sensing her movements stopping, the snake assumed that she was running out of energy, and it rushed towards her with a gaping maw, its sharp teeth showing, and while the snake was not poisonous, its teeth were sharp like razors.

Bai Rouyun waited until the head of the snake was next to her before she executed her final attack.

Lightning Sword Strike!

This Lightning Sword Strike was a very simple attack; it relied on speed like lightning to thrust the sword into the opponent's body before they noticed it.

Even though the Crimson Horned Snake was of a higher rank than Bai Rouyun, it was unable to react in time, and the sword penetrated through the skull of the snake, through the gaping mouth.

The razor-sharp teeth managed to cut her arm in the process, but the snake had died. It was unable to move even a bit as it crashed to the ground.

Bai Rouyun pulled the teeth out of her arm and took out her medicinal pills from the Primal Chaos Dimension.

She quickly crushed some of the blood clotting medicine and sprayed the dust onto her wounds, before she dug out the beast core from the Crimson Horned Snake's body.

Then she quickly looked around and hurried away from the scene. She knew that their fight had taken a long time, and that many would have been alarmed and would be making their way over, so she had to move away as soon as possible.

When she got a bit of distance from the scene of battle, she entered the Primal Chaos Dimension. Here Xiao Bao and Xiao Jin had already prepared a barrel of water for her; the water was spiritual liquid, and not ordinary water.

When she lowered her body into the water, she felt a stinging sensation all over her body, but soon she was comfortable. Her tensed up nerves were relaxed, and her wounds were healing at a rapid pace as the water she was using was not ordinary.

After half a day, Bai Rouyun was as good as new, and she even felt much more relaxed than she had been before entering the forest.

She quickly gave the egg to Xiao Bao and told him to look after it. She also told him to pour some drops of Spiritual Liquid onto the egg from time to time; the liquid would strengthen the egg and whatever beast was hiding within it.

Xiao Bao was quite interested in the egg and nodded his head. He would protect it well.

After ensuring that she had new clean clothes on and that all her wounds were gone, Bai Rouyun exited the Primal Chaos Dimension.

The days flowed like water, and Bai Rouyun continued to hunt beasts, but she did not go further into the depths of the forest. Instead, she began moving sideways.

She could still handle a third-ranked beast, but if she came across a fourth-ranked beast, a beast equivalent to an innate realm practitioner, then she would not know how she died.

In the first couple of days, she saw no signs of other humans in the forest, but after a few more days had passed, she finally saw some human traces, and she even avoided a few groups of people.

She was not going to participate in the robbing of other participants unless they took the initiative to cause her problems first.

But first, they had to find her. She used her keen senses and strong soul to scout the surroundings. While she was unable to scout it as she used to in her past life, she still managed to avoid every group she had come across so far. Some situations were narrowly escaped as the people she fled from were very skillful, but some of the groups were arrogant and did not try to hide their presence; hence she could escape sooner.

Since many groups had arrived in the vicinity, it made it more challenging to hunt beasts. She had to be swift in dealing with them, and while she could easily eradicate rank one and two beasts, it was different for the rank three beasts.

While she could defeat them, it was a narrow defeat every time, and she was injured in each battle.

As such, she only fought a few third-ranked beasts and focused most of her fights against the lower-ranked ones.

She had not forgotten that the quantity of beast cores was what determined the victor, so she had continued to hunt every day, but she started to feel as if she had already won the best prize from having taken the beast egg away from the forest.
