C18 Highlevel Spirit Beast

At such a critical juncture, a high-level spirit beast unexpectedly made its presence known nearby. Ye Han let out a soft sigh and utilized the Turtle Breathing Technique to the best of his ability, hoping to temporarily mask their auras and avoid detection by the creature lurking outside.

"Don't make any noise," he whispered to Jiang Xiaoxiao, concerned that she might act impulsively. He reassured her to stay calm and silent.

Upon hearing the disturbance outside, Jiang Xiaoxiao's initial instinct was to divert the beast's attention away from Ye Han. But before she could act, a faint voice from behind her caught her attention. It was gentle, instilling a profound sense of tranquility.

Jiang Xiaoxiao, who had been at a loss, suddenly grasped the situation and nodded in agreement. She signaled that she would remain still, sensing her own aura being skillfully concealed. Clearly, Ye Han was assisting her from behind.

The cave's atmosphere was charged with tension as they both listened intently to the distant sounds. The footsteps and accompanying vibrations grew fainter, yet they dared not let their guard down, uncertain of the spirit beast's identity and whether they could handle an encounter.

As time ticked by, the quiet that eventually settled outside was a relief to Ye Han and Jiang Xiaoxiao. Still, they remained vigilant, sitting still in their remote spot, each focused on healing and staying alert. The uncertainty heightened their anxiety, not knowing when a spirit beast might emerge or what peril it might bring.

Convinced that the danger had passed, Ye Han continued his healing regimen, placing the pre-gathered herbs beside him and drawing on their energy. His method of recovery hinged on the constant absorption of external forces, ensuring his body's steady rejuvenation.

The only caveat was the uninterrupted use of the herbs. Fortunately, in the Deathabyss, such medicinal plants were abundant, untouched by the hands of common folk. Jiang Xiaoxiao had prudently collected all the herbs she could find before they entered the cave, ensuring they were well-stocked for such a time.

Surrounding Ye Han were piles of highly effective medicinal herbs.

With the passage of time, Ye Han's body gradually healed. His complexion had fully returned to its natural hue, and even his thin lips had regained their original redness. In the darkness of the cave, his eyes stood out, shining brightly.

Jiang Xiaoxiao turned around just in time to witness this scene, and a wave of excitement washed over her. Things were moving in a positive direction. They had faced a life-or-death situation earlier that day, and now, to her amazement, Ye Han's body had almost completely recovered overnight.

As dawn broke, the light outside slowly illuminated their surroundings. Ye Han set aside the spent herbs; they were all used up, but his recovery was complete. Stretching his body, he found that his wounds had healed, leaving him with a sense of ease that was incredibly soothing, like a long-insomniac who had finally enjoyed a restful sleep.

"Ye Han, you're okay," Jiang Xiaoxiao asked, her voice filled with relief. She had seen the evidence with her own eyes but needed to hear it to truly be at peace.

"Yes, I've recovered," Ye Han replied, his face breaking into a relieved smile. The night's healing had done its work, but he knew this didn't mean they were out of danger yet.

Reflecting on the day's events, Ye Han's expression grew solemn once more. He had thought his increased strength would be enough to confront Lei Ba, but he hadn't anticipated his adversary practicing dark arts and reaching the Martial Spirit Realm. The disparity in their power was vast, and Lei Ba's use of forbidden techniques meant that if Ye Han hadn't fallen into the Deathabyss, the outcome might have been grim...

Ye Han realized he needed to revise his strategy. "I initially thought we should leave the Deathabyss as soon as possible, but now I see that this place holds many opportunities as well as dangers. It could be the perfect place for us to continue our training," he said confidently.

Jiang Xiaoxiao had no objections. Wherever they were, as long as she could be by Ye Han's side, she was content. "I'll follow your lead, but shouldn't we first find our way out of here?" she suggested, her worry from the night before giving way to an eagerness to leave this place, especially after the terrifying sounds they had endured.

It was undoubtedly a high-level spirit beast. Had they not been at such a great distance, they might have already been detected.

Having endured until dawn, they were eager to leave the cramped cave as quickly as possible.

"Alright!"

Ye Han had intended to investigate the kind of spirit beast they were dealing with, as his strength had fully returned. He knew that constant battle was necessary to keep growing stronger.

As a practitioner of the Dao of Medicine and Martial Arts, he understood the importance of holistic development. This area, rich in herbs, was perfect for honing his alchemy skills. Additionally, the presence of numerous formidable spirit beasts provided ample opportunity for combat, which could help him break through his current limits.

Yet, faced with Jiang Xiaoxiao's anxious expression, he ultimately decided to yield.

Despite his desire to explore, he wouldn't act on it. But seeing the concern in Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes, he couldn't resist agreeing to her silent plea. Together, they stealthily exited the narrow cave.

Bathed in the bright sunlight, they each took a deep breath, savoring the peace of the moment. The sensation of being alive was palpable as the crisp air filled their lungs, offering an infinite sense of ease.

Ye Han's eyes snapped open, and he dashed toward a nearby area, drawn by an odd scent that he wouldn't have noticed otherwise.

Jiang Xiaoxiao wasted no time in following suit.

Their figures dashed forward with such speed that only their fleeting shadows could be seen.

Soon, they came to a halt before a massive footprint.

The footprint was unmistakable.

Jiang Xiaoxiao, upon seeing the distinct impression, recalled the previous night's disturbance. It must have been made by the high-level spirit beast they had sensed.

"What kind of spirit beast could it be, to leave such an enormous footprint?"
