Chapter 811 8th Rank, 1st Class Golden Horn Wolly Nympha (1)
The Goddess Ai Tina soon regained her composure as she quietly said to Ji Yuan and Xu Yifei, “Let’s go. We have only 3 days to navigate through this forested maze before the secret oracle gate will expulse us from this place.”
Then the Goddess Ai Tina softened her tone to say, “We need to find the Great Oracle of Delphi as soon as possible as this place will sap our profound strength slowly. So, we can’t afford to stay in this place for too long.”
Ji Yuan kind of agreed with her because he could feel his profound strength slowly draining away by the intense pressure of this place. It seemed that even immortals were not spared from this and that was why she could no longer fly in this place.
Xiang Li giggled as she said, “Bye, bye. Big Sister.”
And then she had disappeared into Ji Yuan’s soul sea again.
Ji Yuan, Xu Yifei and the Goddess Ai Tina were soon on their way into the maze-like dense forests that were also filled with pink mists.
Ji Yuan smiled weakly, “We are going to need a good sense of direction to navigate this forest. Somehow my divine sense is restricted here and I can’t even tell my direction from these tall trees that block out the bright heavens from above.
Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei nodded, “My spirit divine sense is blocked here as well. I’ve no way of knowing my direction.”
The Goddess Ai Tina pointed to a direction, “Let’s take that path over there.”
And she had already walked rapidly in that direction.
Ji Yuan weakly said as he followed her with Xu Yifei, “I guess that only an immortal goddess is able to discern the direction in here. We are so lucky to have the Goddess Ai Tina with us.”
The Goddess Ai Tina said without slowing her pace down, “You don’t have to praise me to the heavens. It is because I am also just randomly trying out a direction. My divine sense does not work well either.”
Ji Yuan, Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei: …
1 hour later.
Soon they had come to a vicinity of the tall iron forests where the pink mists were particular heavy and where the tall trees seemed to form into a corridor and the tree roots were so tall that it was 30 meter in height.
If they wanted a clear path then they must hop upon the tree roots to try to find a path elsewhere.
All of a sudden, a gigantic white caterpillar with a golden horn was seen in front of them; it was so huge that they were just as tall as its tiny legs.
But the most startling about this gigantic white caterpillar was that it had a formidable profound aura that identified it to be a 8th rank primeval profound monster.
Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei gasped with shock, “8th rank Golden Horn Wolly Nympha…”
Then she said in a trembling voice, “…and it is first class as well. We can’t fight it…”
From the profound aura of this primeval profound monster, Ji Yuan was also able to identify it as an equivalent to a 8th rank epic desolate profound monster in the Celestial Realm. So, first class correspond to an epic monster in the Celestial Realm. This was indeed not going to be an easy fight.
The Goddess Ai Tina however said, “We need to fight it because it is our trial.”𝔫𝞸𝑣𝔢𝓁𝑛𝐞xt.𝗰𝗈𝗆
Ji Yuan said bitterly, “It is our trial? An 8th rank 1st class profound monster?”
Although he had said that, he had already displayed his immortal scabbard on his back and his 9 divine swords in front of him.
The Goddess Ai Tina said to him, “I don’t blame for not knowing the legends of this place. If you want to the Great Oracle of Delphi, then you must first pass 3 trials. If we can encounter a difficulty here then it means that we are on the right track.”
Ji Yuan was astonished, “You mean if we don’t encounter any difficulties then we can never find the Great Oracle of Delphi?”
Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei nodded, “Master Ji Yuan, you are right. This is also called the 3 Tasks of the Great Oracle of Delphi. Rather than saying that we are searching for the Great Oracle of Delphi, we are actually checking for the 3 Tasks of the Great Oracle of Delphi before we can see the Great Oracle of Delphi. The minute that we have come to this place, is also the start of our trial…”
Then she looked nervously at the Golden Horn Wolly Nympha that were now crawling with a rapid speed toward them, “If we run away now, then we may not know when the next trial will come to us.”
Ji Yuan had a stupefied look on his face, “And so, we have to fight this monster because we never know if we are able to complete all 3 tasks within 3 days?”
The Goddess Ai Tina had already 4 golden spirit talismans in front of her and she had increased her profound animus to the 8th immortal positioning.
“We need to gamble on this fight.”
Then she turned to Xu Yifei to say solemnly, “Yifei, use my divine shield. It should be able to keep you safe for the time being. Don’t let this monster hit you or it will be fatal for you.”
She took a look at Ji Yuan, “Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan, you don’t mind distracting this Golden Horn Wolly Nympha while we keep our distance, do you?”
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
I will distract this monster alone?
Are you kidding me?
If I get hit by it, I will surely die.
Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei said panicky when she saw that the Golden Horn Wolly Nympha was now fast approaching and in a few blinks of an eye, would be crawling where they were standing. “Let me go instead. I have the Divine Shield of Ai Tina. I can get perhaps a few hits…”
Ji Yuan said solemnly, “No!”
And he had already sent his 9 flying swords to slow the approach of the Golden Horn Wolly Nympha. However, his 9 flying swords were too weak to do any damage and scattered upon impact.
At the same time, Ji Yuan had already unsheathed his Anyang emperor-step divine sword as he flashed forward to combat this Golden Horn Wolly Nympha.
Xiang Li was startled: Big Brother, you are not using me?
Ji Yuan did not answer her; it is because he is still angry with her for appearing earlier. He doesn’t want Xiang Li to appear in front of her ex-owner because Xiang Li isn’t a tool but his dear friend!
And the reason why he had said a loud ‘No!’ to Xu Yifei was because it was against his principle to allow a maiden to fight ahead of him, especially to weaken an opponent for him.
Also, he did not mind having to flee if he cannot defeat an opponent but he did not want Xu Yifei to risk her life for a little rascal like him.
It was because he knows that Xu Yifei was respectful to him since the beginning and she had even tried to help to treat his profound darkness within his soul sea. For that, she did not even return to her tavern for many days to look for a solution for him.
When he was fighting the Immortal Divine Lord Kong Rong, she had also offered to fight side by side with him.
All the more, he did not want to risk her life.
Moreover, this Golden Horn Wolly Nympha is an epic profound monster and isn’t a laughing matter to deal with.
