ROAR! (damn you human!)
The moment Lin Xiao moved forward, it also signaled the others to make their move.
Han Jiang picked up his large axe and rushed forward. He relied mostly on his large built as he charged upfront and drew his large axe down towards the Black Tinder Boar's neck.
Bam!
Shadows flickered as Xia Ye appeared beneath the Black Tinder Boar. Within that limited space, he swiftly drew his sword and created long gash wound below and caused the beast to bleed heavily.
After he was done, he disappeared once more.
The Black Tinder Boar was not even able to react on his attack because at this time, Fan Ling, Lin Yun, and also Lin San had all attacked him from all sides.
Fan Ling's fan fluttered as both wind and fire element flared.
Lin Yun used Mountain Sword.
Lin San was using his own skills.
Flurries of attack from various type landed on the Black Tinder Boar's body. Some managed to hurt him while some others couldn't even reach him.
"Aim for its neck," Lin San suddenly shouted.
Princess Lan Yi Hua suddenly appeared next to the rampaging beast. She swiftly moved her body and the twin swords in her hand aimed towards the Black Tinder Boar.
Slash!
It perfectly pierced the weak spot that was there.
The Black Tinder Boar roared fiercely and then jumped back. It turned its big body around and started to run. With speed as one of its specialties, it could easily get away from any unfavorable battle.
Princess Lan Yi Hua furrowed her brows but before she could give chase, her hand was tugged from the back.
"Let it go. We still need to deal with the rest of the beasts," Lin Xiao reminded her.
Lu Jian was temporarily holding back the beasts from getting close to them, but he wouldn't last long if he continued to sing that way. They had to make sure that they were all also capable to handle things on their own.
If they exerted all of their forces on that Black Tinder Boar, they would have nothing left to face the others.
It would surely spell their death.
Princess Lan Yi Hua gritted her teeth. "But it's already wounded."
"We still can't fatally wound beast rank 5."
"It's too strong." Fan Ling's face was a bit ugly. She wanted to deal with that Black Tinder Boar after she had enhanced her fan's skill. But as it turned out, she couldn't deal with it even with the others' help.
Was the gap between Foundation Stage and Golden Core Stage so big that they had no hope to build a bridge?
"Hey, until when do you want me to push them back?" Lu Jian's face was filled with sweat. He had to infuse his Qi into his voice and it certainly took a lot of toll on his body. Right now, he already wished that he could end this torture and quickly rest.
"Let's deal with the rest first."
"Ok."
Bang! Swish! Slash!
Soon, the beast horde that was heading their way was cleared. The Black Tinder Boar didn't return back and they were all dead tired after they had finished. It seemed that even though they were only expending some energy to fight against that Black Tinder Boar, it had already seeped a lot of their strength.
"I guess it's good we didn't try to chase it."
"We managed to protect our secret sanctuary once more." Han Jiang laughed heartily.
The lake was filled with so much Qi that they were all overjoyed. Their training as Foundation Establishment had been going on very smoothly that it was unbelievable.
Lin Xiao smiled and nodded. He looked at Princess Lan Yi Hua. "Still want to chase that Black Tinder Boar?"
"No…" Princess Lan Yi Hua groaned lightly.
She was too tired to even from her current position. Right now, she wanted nothing more than rest and rest.
Other things were not important.
Lin Xiao chuckled. It was then he recalled something. "Do you have wounds?"
"Hmm? Just some scratch. It's not that important." Princess Lan Yi Hua waved her hand. There was trace of blood there that she had washed but not yet tended and bandaged as she was too tired.
Walking to her side, Lin Xiao grabbed her hand. Before Princess Lan Yi Hua even had the chance to protest, he infused his Qi into her hand.
Lin Hu had told him that there was another property that made Lake Dragon Emperor was so feared:
Healing ability.
Lin Xiao had already realized it by himself after he visited that Dragon Pavilion but he only found out that this property was already infused deep within his own body. it meant that his Qi also had the same properties.
He had never tried to heal others before but now that Princess Lan Yi Hua was wounded, he wanted to try healing her hand. It was just a scratch and even if he failed, it wouldn't change that much.
The cool and refreshing Qi felt so different from her own Qi. Princess Lan Yi Hua looked at her hand as she could see her wounds slowly closed. Her heart was shaken so badly when she saw that.
Healing ability.
He could heal others with just his Qi?
Lake Emperor truly had such ability? Princess Lan Yi Hua was astounded as it was really her first time finding out that the man who was courting her all this time was actually much more capable than what he had been showing so far.
No, this couldn't do.
She had to work harder so that she wouldn't be left behind. She didn't want to be the one protected by Lin Xiao. What she wanted was to be able to stand by his side and to support him in what he did.
Princess Lan Yi Hua silently promised to herself as she watched Lin Xiao retracted his hand. She wanted to be a person worthy of him.
