He smelled the medicine scent and thought it was pretty fragrant. However, he didn’t know what the medicine was for, so he asked, “Master, will I attract ferocious beasts with a smear of this medicine? What kind of medicine is it? Is it really so powerful?”
Feng Jiu’s hand paused. There was a mysterious smile on her face as she answered him slowly. “On your body, the medicine can last for two to three days. Its smell will not disappear and will only fade after two or three days.”
She stopped speaking, sprinkled the rest of the medicine on her sleeve, and then said, “As for its effect, it can make ferocious beasts very excited after taking a whiff of its scent. Those beasts will become berserk and chase after the smell, which is why I tell you, remember to run faster.”
Gu Xiang was dumbstruck and his whole body stiffened. The solidly built man looked at Feng Jiu in amazement and disbelief. “Excited? Master, the meaning of this word isn’t the same as what I understand, right?”
“No, it has exactly the same meaning.”
Feng Jiu answered with her face beaming. The scent of this liquid medicine would excite male ferocious beasts. Moreover, it can be smelled even hundreds of metres away. There were more males and fewer females among ferocious beasts. Now, stimulated by her liquid medicine, the frantic scene that ensued next was easy to imagine.
Hearing this, Gu Xiang shivered. His eyes widened as he watched his Master carelessly spray the liquid medicine on him. “Master, Master, you are too ruthless. Are you not going to leave us a way out? What if we are overtaken by the beasts?”
At this moment, he had an inexplicable impulse to cry. Why was his Master doing this crazy thing? He couldn’t imagine what would happen if he was chased after a large pack of ferocious beasts…
“That’s why! Didn’t I give you a pair of cloud chasing boots? But you also have to run as hard as you can. If you’re slow, hehe, I’m embarrassed to imagine that scene.”
She smiled like a cunning fox, but people couldn’t get angry. After all, she even sprinkled the liquid medicine on herself. What else could he do?
“Alright, let’s go! Remember, run and lead them towards Black Mountain City. But, more importantly, later remember to use your spirit energy to help me open the boundary barrier. Otherwise, we will both be trapped in here.” She chuckled and took him deep into the forest.
After the time it took a column of incense to burn, there was a faint tremor in the forest as if there was a commotion. For a time, the roar of ferocious beasts came from all over the Beast Forest and the ferocious beasts lurking in the forest smelled the scent in the air. Their eyes turned red as each one went into an excited frenzy.
“Roar!”
“Growl!”
“Roar!”
The roar of ferocious beasts sounded everywhere in the Beast Forest. The movement of the beasts running was like streams flowing down from the mountains and gradually converging together to form a large stream into the sea. The momentum increased from weak to strong, and the sound gathered from less to more, as if all the beasts were toppling the mountains and overturning the seas. The earth shook and the mountains trembled…
When Gu Xiang heard these terrifying movements, his face turned pale and lost colour, his lips trembled, and his legs almost felt like they turned to jelly…
