The Medical Guru

Chapter 1241 Underground Vipers!

“Do you want to fight?”

Seeing that the Egyptt guru itched to attack, the commander of Bloody Lion Mercenaries asked sternly, “We are with many experts here. If you dare to make a move, I would rather fight to the death than surrender. After you use up your power, do you think you can still reap your Spiritual Herbs?”

“Inheritors never give in to threats!”

Eyes narrowed, the Egyptt guru wielded the long spear in his right hand. Instantly, his incomparably sharp weapon shot from his hand and flew rapidly toward the commander.

When he saw this terrifying scene…

The commander of Bloody Lion Mercenaries frantically retreated in an attempt to dodge the incoming spear and his expression underwent a dramatic change.

Quicker than words could tell…

“Whiz!”

The sound of something piercing through the air was heard.

The Egyptt guru reached the commander before his spear; he swung his fist at his chest with great strength.

What a brutal scene!

The people around were visibly frightened.

This Egyptt guru was incredibly fast, quicker than the spear he threw. That was terrifying!

Not only that…

The most horrifying thing was that wherever the commander retreated, the long spear would trail his moves and aim at his head as if it had a life of its own.

“He’s really doomed.”

“This man will die, right?”

“A guru is certainly someone out of the ordinary. It’s a pity for Andrew, the Bloody Lion!”

“Is he Bloody Lion Andrew?”

“See? The symbol on his chest shows he is Andrew, the Bloody Lion Mercenaries’ commander!”

“It looks like the Bloody Lion Mercenaries, who rank fourth in the world, will have to get a new leader after today.”

“That might not be the case. He is regarded as a Bloody Lion for a reason.”

“What do you mean?”

The people around discussed the situation animatedly.

On the battlefield…

The Egyptt guru’s fist was right under Andrew’s nose.

“Ah!”

Suddenly, Andrew let out a bellow of rage as something gushed from his body and suddenly there was a stinky smell of blood. His whole body was covered in a blood-red glow.

An incomparably powerful aura exploded from Andrew.

“A Half-step Guru!”

Fang Qiu was shocked.

He distinctly remembered that the commander of Bloody Lion Mercenaries only had the ninth-class strength with two opened meridians. How could he change into a Half-step Guru in the blink of an eye?

“Was this… a self-strengthening approach?”

Fang Qiu’s eyes sparkled at this thought.

Such a clever approach was a good thing.

Unfortunately…

It was impossible to learn this method by observation alone. After all, only by transforming within the body could one achieve the goal of reinforcing oneself.

Over there…

“Humph!”

Feeling the sudden surge of Qi power from Andrew, the Egyptt guru paused briefly but didn’t intend to withdraw his blow at all. With a cold grunt, his fist landed heavily on Andrew’s chest.

Even with the protection of the layer of blood-red light, Andrew was still sent flying by a punch from the Egyptt guru.action

“Pfft!”

He sprayed forth a mouthful of blood.

After all, his opponent was a guru. Even if Andrew had forcibly raised himself to a Half-step Guru, it was a challenge to withstand a guru’s blow.

If it had been before, this punch from an Egyptt guru would have killed him.

The sudden increase in his strength gave him a chance to stay alive!

The Egyptt guru eyed Andrew mercilessly, ready to stab the long spear through his heart.

“Buzz!”

A ripple of energy suddenly spread out from the center of the Spiritual Herb field.

It was like a water wave.

Wherever it passed…

The Spiritual Herbs that were almost mature ripened instantly.

Because these Spiritual Herbs were not good enough to become Earth Treasures, their maturity didn’t cause any strange reactions. However, at the moment of maturity, a lot of Qi of Heaven and Earth was injected into this arid space.

The Spiritual Herbs were ripe.

Sure enough, the crowd rushed up to grab them without a moment’s hesitation.

After all…

The Egyptt guru had launched his attack and engaged with the commander of Bloody Lion Mercenaries. When the guru seriously injured or even slayed Andrew, other small or medium-sized forces would divide his herbs in no time.

But it might be too late for the guru to collect the Spiritual Herbs at that time.

In a split second…

Everyone made a frantic dash for the herbs.

Here…

The Egyptt guru, who was about to slaughter Andrew, also saw the Spiritual Herbs mature, and his face suddenly fell. He stretched his right hand over his head. Then, his spear, which had almost reached Andrew, suddenly stopped and flew back to his hand.

“All of you, stop…”

As he raised his spear, the Egyptt guru yelled angrily at those people who had rushed to grab the spiritual herbs, in an attempt to frighten them away.

Unexpectedly…

Before he could finish his words…

A sudden change occurred!

“Crack, crack…”

All at once, fissures appeared in the ground.

However, no one noticed this because they were busy scrambling for the Spiritual Herbs.

But the cracking sounds never stopped.

The next second…

“Boom!”

There was a loud bang.

An enormous black figure suddenly broke out from the ground, enveloped in an ominous stream of cold air, and charged forward.

They took a closer look.

To their surprise, what emerged from the ground was a giant venomous snake!

“Sizzle.”

As soon as the viper emerged, it opened its mouth wide and lunged toward one of them, bit his head and ripped him to bloody shreds which scattered all over the sky.

This chilling scene scared all the people around the huge snake.

Everyone fled frantically.

But before they could take a few steps…

“Bang!”

Another deafening noise could be heard when another enormous venomous snake broke out of the ground.

They looked around.

In just a few minutes, several giant vipers broke through the ground as they wound their way through the field filled with Spiritual Herbs. These enormous snakes looked so surreal as if they were special effects in a Murican blockbuster. With one gulp, these huge monsters could swallow up a whole person.

As soon as the few huge snakes emerged from the earth, they ran amok everywhere within the land covered with Spiritual Herbs.

In a moment, many people were bitten to death!

Aside…

The Egyptt guru who just got his spear back was stunned when he caught sight of these venomous snakes.

“Pharaoh Snakes?”

These giant poisonous snakes looked very familiar to him.

“It’s the relic of a Pharaoh indeed!”

An impulse seized the guru.

He brandished his long spear, flashed aside, and rushed toward his group.

Right now…

A Pharaoh Snake was pursuing and attacking the people who followed him.

On the other side…

People from Itali, Greacie, Huaxia, and the four major countries were also hotly pursued by Pharaoh Snakes.

However…

These Pharaoh Snakes were not here to kill — they were ravenously consuming the Spiritual Herbs on the ground.

Of course…

While they resisted these vipers, everyone was hectically seizing the Spiritual Herbs.

In the fierce battle, the team of Egyptt wiped out the Pharaoh Snake who assaulted them! Maybe it was because they knew the snake’s vulnerable points.

But…

Before the Pharaoh Snake died, it opened its mouth wide and hissed toward the sky, and exhaled a lungful of thick green fog.

The fog appeared and immediately began to spread in all directions.

“Toxic fog! It’s poisonous!”

Seeing this, Fang Qiu called out a warning right away.

Sure enough…

His shout was directed toward the Huaxia group.

However…

The poisonous fog diffused so quickly that they had no time to escape by the time Fang Qiu yelled out his warning.

Only a small number of people of the Egyptt group were poisoned, thanks to the protection of the Egyptt guru. Yet, none of the independent cultivators around ran away. Those weak ones from other forces inhaled the poisonous fog and collapsed and died without any knowledge of how they died.

Over there…

When Fang Qiu’s loud shout came over…

People from Huaxia lost no time in closing their mouths and noses, as they entered the fetus-in-womb state to prevent themselves from inhaling the surrounding air.

However, a few people still breathed in the poisonous gas accidentally.

Right after the gas entered their bodies…

Their faces turned dark green.

Upon seeing this…

“Whoosh.”

Fang Qiu rushed over speedily and immediately began to detoxify them.

Using his powerful internal Qi, he forced out all the dangerous toxins in these people.

Near them…

A young man who held a long sword watched in silence.

After Fang Qiu finished his emergency treatment on everyone, the man created a soundproof energy shield around them with a wave of his hand and gave Fang Qiu a hold fist salute, and said, “Thank you, Brother John Doe.”

“You’re welcome. We’re in this together.”

Fang Qiu nodded gently and said, “Besides, the higher-ups asked me to take care of you.”

“I see.”

The young man nodded.

“Are you the leader of this group?”

Fang Qiu asked.

“Yes.”

Luoyun gave a nod. He knew John Doe was an expert who could even defeat a guru. So, even though he himself was a guru, he treated John Doe as his equal or even considered him to be more powerful. After all, John Doe had experienced a load of extraordinary things. In such a chaotic situation abroad, John Doe was of great help. For instance, if it hadn’t been for John Doe’s timely reminder, many more of them would have inhaled the poisonous fog.

“Sword Sect, Luoyun.”

The young man introduced himself.

“Yes.”

Fang Qiu nodded knowingly and said, “The situation is complicated. Be more careful.”

He finished speaking.

Then, he got in position and flashed away.

Meanwhile…

Gurus from Egyptt, Itali, and Greacie had all made their moves.

This time…

They didn’t give the Pharaoh Snakes any time to respond.

Once they found a chance, they annihilated all these poisonous snakes instantly, leaving them no opportunity to release the toxic fog.

As a result, only one snake successfully let out its poisonous fog.

Before long…

The poisonous fog cleared up.

The few huge serpents had turned into corpses in the Spiritual Herbs field.

The attacks of these giant snakes caught people off guard. In the end, each of the major forces lost one or two members, and nearly one-third of the people from those medium and small forces died. The Bloody Lion Mercenaries lost half of their people: only five people from the original ten-person team survived.

From the looks of it, every force was in a very sorry state.

However, these people were in no mood to analyze the cause and effect of this tragedy. After they finished off the giant vipers, they frantically started scrambling for the Spiritual Herbs. And since this place was a mess, each force no longer snatched the herbs according to the designated zones. They would grab any herb they came across.

“They are all fierce and ambitious.”

Looking at them snatching crazily away, Fang Qiu couldn’t help but sigh with emotion, “Genuine formidable heroes!”

Over there…

The group from Huaxia led by Luoyun also joined in the resource competition.

However, Luoyun still concealed his real strength as a guru.
