Chapter 274 Sister, this is the gift I brought you
After a quick journey, Xu Shisan successfully returned to Longguo before dark.

The Dragon Country Arbitration Court was unaware of the attack on the herb-collecting team. Since Xu Shisan was not dead, President Ethan did not notify the Dragon Country for the time being.

After Xu Shisan returned to the Dragon Kingdom Arbitration Court, he immediately found Old Chen before it got completely dark and briefly explained to him the whole story and process of the herb-picking incident.

When Old Chen heard that Xu Shisan and his men were attacked by ferocious beasts, tens of thousands of them, and that all the contestants from seven countries were killed, he was so shocked that he couldn't even speak.

The alliance sends a team every year to collect herbs. That sacred place is full of high-grade herbs and is extremely safe. Nothing has ever happened there in over 30 years.

That's why Mr. Chen recommended this lucky job to Xu Shisan.

But how could there be so many ferocious beasts appear this time?

So, Mr. Chen asked carefully:

"Thirteen, you just said that the beasts you encountered were very strange. Explain to the teacher in detail how strange they were."

"Yes."

Xu Shisan explained in more detail: "Teacher, it's like this. I was outside the Black Forest that day, and suddenly a strange black fog floated out, and then a bunch of strange beasts jumped out of the black fog."

"These beasts seem to be made up of various beasts. They are extremely weird. Their bodies are highly rotten, their eyes are bloodshot, and they are lifeless. Not only that, but after I kill them, they can reassemble and revive. Even if I grind them into meat paste, the meat paste will automatically condense together and form a weird beast again. Unless I burn them to ashes and kill them completely, they can keep resurrecting."

"Also, these beasts cannot use special skills. The two S-level beasts that the students encountered also cannot use them. Otherwise, I would not be able to stop the tide of thousands of beasts."

"A ferocious beast that can be resurrected? This..." Old Chen frowned, also extremely surprised.

You know, over the years, Old Chen has read a lot of books, including various ancient books. He knows a lot about ferocious beasts that can be "resurrected" to a certain extent, but he has never heard of these ferocious beasts appearing in groups, with thousands or tens of thousands of them appearing at a time.

This is simply impossible!

Also, according to Xu Shisan, the bodies of these ferocious beasts are highly decayed, and their bodies seem to be made up of various ferocious beasts. Chen Lao has never heard of such a ferocious beast.

"Oh, by the way, teacher, I fell into a cliff that day. The cliff was very, very high, and there were countless ferocious beasts at the bottom of the cliff."

"These beasts are different from those in the Black Forest. They are obviously intelligent and have vitality, and they will not be resurrected. However, they are all deformed, with either rotten bodies, or covered with pus, or deformed bodies. They are also very irritable and restless. Once they encounter an invasion from outsiders, they will not fear life, and will kill me like moths to a flame."

"Later, I found a way to escape and returned to the Black Forest, but found that all the ferocious beasts in the Black Forest had disappeared. Later, I met Lord Ethan again. After President Ethan and I went deep into the bottom of the cliff again, the countless ferocious beasts at the bottom of the cliff also disappeared, as if they had evaporated overnight." Xu Shisan continued to explain.

"It evaporated overnight," thought Old Chen, frowning.

The strange black fog, the highly rotten and lifeless beasts, and the abnormally violent and deformed beasts at the bottom of the cliff all evaporated overnight.
These strange things made Mr. Chen think a lot.

He suddenly said to Xu Shisan: "Shisan, you said that every one of those ferocious beasts at the bottom of the cliff was irritable and restless, especially after seeing you invade."

"Yes."

"If that's the case, then these ferocious beasts seem to have taken some kind of drug." Old Chen guessed.

"Medicine?" Xu Shisan also frowned.

"Yes, I have read in some ancient books that some elixirs can make ferocious beasts become extremely violent and even kill each other. Some medicines can bring ferocious beasts back to life. In short, there are too many strange medicines. I always feel that these ferocious beasts you mentioned..." "Teacher, what do you want to say?" Xu Shisan asked.

"Nothing, just some personal speculation." Elder Chen shook his head, and then said, "Thirteen, I will report this matter to the Court of Arbitration immediately. Also, please do not disclose this matter to the public for the time being."

"Yes."

After instructing Xu Shisan, Old Chen left immediately and went to report to the Arbitration Court.

Xu Shisan also returned to the Imperial Capital College under the cover of night.

This time, the trip to collect herbs took more than half a month. I guess Xia Keer will be worried again.

As expected, as soon as Xu Shisan returned, Xia Keer was extremely happy, and then asked Xu Shisan why he took so many days to come back.

In this regard, Xu Shisan had to make up an excuse to get away with it. In addition, since he had prepared a small gift for Xia Keer in advance, the little girl did not suspect anything and even thoughtfully prepared dinner for Xu Shisan.

After dinner, it was already very late, so Xia Keer went back to her room to rest and asked Xu Shisan to have a good rest.

After Xia Ke'er and Chen Xi went back to their rooms to rest, Xu Shisan quietly came to the next room, which was Lin Muxue's room.

"Bang bang bang!"

Xu Shisan knocked on the door gently.

After a moment, Lin Muxue's door opened.

The person who opened the door was naturally Lin Muxue. After seeing Lin Muxue, Xu Shisan didn't wait for her to ask anything and directly entered Lin Muxue's room with a thick face.

Then he naturally found a stool and sat down, being very familiar with the place.

Seeing this, Lin Muxue didn't say anything, but asked: "Junior Brother Xu, have you just returned from the Holy City?"

In fact, Lin Muxue knew that Xu Shisan was back. She knew it from the beginning, but during dinner, Xu Shisan was with Xia Keer and Chen Xi, so Lin Muxue did not disturb him.

"Yes, senior sister. I just came back. I came to see you after having dinner with Ke'er." Xu Shisan replied.

"Did the trip to collect herbs go smoothly?" Lin Muxue asked again.

"This is going well. Very smoothly."

Old Chen told him not to leak the matter of the blessed land of spiritual medicine. Since Xu Shisan had lied to Xia Keer, it was impossible for him to tell the truth to Lin Muxue.

"Sister, I went to collect herbs this time and got a lot of rewards. The reason I came to see you is because..."

As he spoke, Xu Shisan took out a bunch of cultivation resources and placed them in front of Lin Muxue.

"Sister, this is all the rewards I got from participating in the herb-picking team. It is also the gift I gave you after returning this time. I hope you can accept it."
