Chapter 9 Encounter with a Strange Beast
Chapter 9 Encounter with a Strange Beast
At this moment, a post on the StarNet caused a small ripple in the vast sea of information.
"Everyone hurry up, the 'elixir shop' has new items!" A netizen named "Orange Star" posted this message.
Many uninformed people saw it and simply ignored it. Some even thought to themselves, "What a load of nonsense! So much useless information, no beginning or end."
An hour after the message was posted, a netizen named "spectator" left a comment asking: Is it a magical elixir from the freshman trial?
This comment was quickly liked by the poster.
Immediately, someone asked in the comments section: "What kind of pill is it, and what does it have to do with the freshman trial?"
The poster, "Orange Star," immediately released a video of Han Xingyuan using elixirs to heal his companion.
People became interested and clicked to watch the video. What they watched immediately sparked a heated debate.
"What are pills? Do they really have such miraculous effects?"
"You actually believe that? It's obviously fake."
"It shouldn't be fake, right? There's video evidence."
"Videos can be fake too. Aren't there plenty of scammers using these kinds of tricks?"
"But that's the freshman trial, the whole empire is watching, how could it be fake?"
"Even if the video is real, how do you know it wasn't an act? Maybe the two students' injuries weren't that serious at all, and they recovered after taking that pill. It was just a lucky accident."
The comments section quickly veered off-topic, jumping from the authenticity of the pills to the authenticity of the video, with some even immediately starting to share anti-fraud knowledge.
Just as netizens were arguing, a netizen named "I'm Better Than You" commented: "Haha, I managed to snag a Rejuvenation Pill."
This makes people even more curious. Someone actually placed an order. Could it be that the pills are real and the effects are real?
Some people were skeptical, while others believed they had seen through the essence of the matter.
"I knew it! This is a scam. Look, someone's fallen for it and is rushing to give away their money."
Some people, however, are hoping to learn more about it.
"Brother upstairs, you seem very confident about the effects of this pill. Do you know something about it?"
"I'm just better than you" replied: "My cousin is a member of that team. The video is real, the injuries are real, and the effects of the pills are even more real."
Immediately, someone lost their composure: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go grab it!"
However, when netizens who had confirmed the news found the store online, they only saw a message indicating that the items were sold out.
Some people scoffed, thinking it was just a gimmick by the shop owner, claiming that the medicine could cure any disease and that they were just trying to fleece people. After squatting for a few seconds, they left cursing.
Some people carefully read the instructions for the pills and learned how to use them, which made them even more eager to try them, but they were helpless and sent private messages to the shop owner, but received no response.
Lin Shushu was unaware that the pills she had just put on the shelves sold out in less than two hours, and had even sparked a small discussion. In her mind, 300 pills should last for a few days, so she confidently prepared to take Duoduo to explore the planet.
Mo Ze was held in Lin Shushu's arms, currently flying in mid-air. He looked at the scenery flashing past below with an expression of amazement.
He was curious about Lin Shushu's ability to use a sword as a flying tool. In the interstellar era, all kinds of flying machines were not uncommon, and there were also some with unique shapes. However, without exception, the reason why flying machines could be started was because they were equipped with energy stones. Without energy stones, even the most advanced flying machines could not fly.
After spending several days together, Mo Ze guessed that Lin Shushu was using her own power to control the flying sword, a feat that was enough to shock any interstellar traveler.
Lin Shushu, fearing the strong winds generated by her flight might harm Duoduo, set up a protective shield around it, while she herself enjoyed the joy of free flight. As Chinese people, who hasn't dreamed of soaring through the clouds?
After flying for half a day, Lin Shushu still didn't know where she was. With her current Golden Core stage cultivation, she couldn't cover the entire planet with her divine sense.
Suddenly, Lin Shushu sensed something unusual in the air. She stopped and looked down.
A faint roar could be heard coming from the vast forest below. Lin Shushu immediately became interested. It wasn't that she was being arrogant; she was now a Golden Core cultivator, and moving mountains and filling seas was no problem for her. Moreover, she had the Yuanzhu Space, a life-saving artifact.
Lin Shushu had been cultivating alone. Although her cultivation level had increased rapidly, she was always uneasy, since she had never actually fought and had no direct understanding of her true level.
Just as Lin Shushu was eager to try, she didn't notice Duoduo's human-like worried look. If she had noticed, she would have been surprised that such a look could appear in the eyes of a rabbit.
Mo Ze saw through Lin Shushu's thoughts. He looked down with concern. He had also heard the sound just now. If he wasn't mistaken, the sound came from a beast of level eight or above. The fact that it could make such an angry sound meant that there was another beast of level eight or above here, or even more.
Lin Shushu was unaware of Mo Ze's worries; at that moment, she maneuvered her flying sword downwards. When she reached the sky above the forest, she saw tall trees lying on the ground, dust billowing everywhere.
Amidst the chaos, two enormous creatures were facing off. Thanks to her recent cramming on interstellar knowledge, Lin Shushu recognized the species of these two strange beasts.
One of them is a level nine exotic beast, the Moon Wolf, possessing an agile physique and a combination of wildness and power.
The other beast, also a level nine alien beast, is named Howling Tiger, whose strong limbs demonstrate its immense power.
At this moment, both beasts were wounded, indicating that they were evenly matched and neither could defeat the other.
As Lin Shushu approached, the two strange beasts noticed her at the same time and looked at her simultaneously.
"You guys continue, I'm just passing by and watching the fun, I have no intention of disturbing you." Lin Shushu said with a smile while standing on her flying sword, not caring whether they understood or not.
What she thought was spectating from the sidelines was seen as a provocation by the two beasts. In a battle between powerful beings, outsiders are not allowed to interfere; although she didn't make a move, the beasts didn't care.
The two beasts exchanged a glance and then attacked her simultaneously. The Moon Wolf moved, sending a strong gust of wind towards Lin Shushu, while the Howling Tiger was not to be outdone; it opened its mouth and spewed out a burst of scorching flames.
The power of a level nine beast should not be underestimated. As a powerful attack came, Lin Shushu dodged the attack and landed on the ground.
Lin Shushu was furious. Although she had been looking for someone or an animal to spar with, this hadn't even started yet. The one who starts it is the one who's rude, so she couldn't be blamed for fighting back. Let's just start fighting.
Infusing her spiritual power into her flying sword, Lin Shushu swiftly attacked the Moon Wolf, while simultaneously conjuring a fireball to hurl at the Howling Tiger.
The two strange beasts were not to be trifled with either. They quickly dodged, and at the same time, their eyes showed a hint of seriousness. This human in front of them seemed to be difficult to deal with.
To avoid accidentally hurting Duoduo, Lin Shushu sent it back to her space.
