Rise of the Great Emperor Chapter 245

Chapter 245: Deep in the Mountain

"F***!"

"Get away!"

"AAh! MOVE!"

"Ugh."

The rocks were falling at rapid rate that the three men were trying their best to escape. The first man was a bit slower and then got pushed back by the rocks towards the beast horde behind it.

The other two waited for a bit more and looking at the rocks before them, they were not in the mood to linger around. Cultivators were powerful, but nature was also very powerful and scary.

Going against nature at their current stage was the same as digging a hole for them to bury themselves.

"Let's report. We can just say that they're buried here."

"Ok."

The other man nodded and looked at the formation before looking away, not wanting to stay there any longer.

In the cave, Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief then slumped on the ground. He had already wasted all of his Qi when he did the last move, so his meridian felt like it was burning because of the empty stream. Thankfully, Nourishing Lake Technique was still operating and helped him to recover his Qi.

Beside him, Princess Lan Yi Hua was not in any better condition. She was panting and sat down on the ground, not caring about her appearance in the slightest bit. In such a dark place with only her and Lin Xiao, who would bother to look at her.

She was tired.

"We should be able to rest for now. However, it'll be saver if we go inside a bit more in case the ceiling falls down."

Princess Lan Yi Hua furrowed her brows. "I can't move."

Lin Xiao smiled helplessly and struggled to stand up before lifting Princess Lan Yi Hua in princess carry. She let out a yelp but didn't struggle as Lin Xiao staggered to move deeper in the cave. It was indeed dark, but they were cultivator and after a while, they already could see their surroundings better as if they were in the middle of the day.

"It's quite big," Princes Lan Yi Hua murmured.

"Let's rest for now."

"En."

Taking some medicine pills, the two of them rested in the dark cave in silence. Neither one of them tried to speak to one another as they tried to recover their Qi as fast as possible. It was dangerous to stay in weak state, after all.

Lin Hu was keeping watch but he knew that the place was safe, so he was relaxed. After several hours or probably a day, Lin Xiao finally opened his eyes. He looked towards Princess Lan Yi Hua, who was still meditating then looked around.

'Can you check the place, Lin Hu?'

'Do you regard me as an omnipotent beast? Anyway, there's a route downwards on the right side. You might be able to enter deep into the mountain if you choose that route.'

Lin Xiao furrowed his brows. He looked at the direction and sighed. Was there really something in the mountain? For some reason, he was curious and wanted to explore. However, he waited until Princess Lan Yi Hua woke up because he didn't want to leave her here.

'Lin Hu, am I really weak when it comes to fight against humans?' Lin Xiao asked. When it came to fight against beast rank 4, he had no problem at all defeating them. Sometimes, he could even defeat them all by himself.

Lin Hua rolled his body in Lin Xiao's consciousness. He snorted. 'The only difference is the fact that you're getting overwhelmed by their technique. Beast's techniques are often just something very straight and easy to guess from their body form. You're more used to their telling than human, so your reaction is slower when you're fighting against humans.'

Ah…

Well, that was true. Not all animals would be able to switch several techniques all at once. They would usually only have one or two strong points while the rest was barely average.

Lin Xiao sighed. He would need to fight with humans more often. Probably sparring with the rest….

No, spar and real fight would be different.

"It seems that I need to pay a visit to the three sects soon. They might be able to help me here," Lin Xiao murmured.

"Three sects?"

Raising his head, Lin Xiao noticed that Princess Lan Yi Hua had already woken up. He smiled. "Well, I have some business with three sects because of some of our friends. And since I'm not too good at fighting humans, when I try to fight them later, I should be able to learn more."

Princess Lan Yi Hua nodded. She tilted her head. "Sorry, I can't be of much help."

"What are you talking about? You're doing very great."

Princess Lan Yi Hua pursed her lips. She was trying to help Lin Xiao, but the opponent matched to her seemed to be able to see through her so quickly. That baffled her very much since she didn't think that she had showed her skill…

Was there any mole in the group belonged to Prince Lin Xian?

"Is there anything wrong, Yi Hua?"

Princess Lan Yi Hua looked at Lin Xiao and proceeded to tell what she thought. Hearing that, Lin Xiao nodded and thought the same. After all, Princess Lan Yi Hua never fought in the academy.

However, it was also possible that someone watched them from a distance. If the said person was Golden Core Stage, it was impossible for them to find if he was outside their range.

So, it was still uncertain.

"When are you planning to show your skill to the world?" Lin Xiao asked.

Princess Lan Yi Hua looked at Lin Xiao and smiled faintly. "After I'm certain that no one can take me away from you."

At this answer, Lin Xiao was stunned. He could feel his face heat up a bit as he turned around. Little did he know, Princess Lan Yi Hua had seen his reddening ear and thought of how cute it was.
