Pregnant Cultivator, Doted by Big Boss-Chapter 60 - 58: Hurt My People? Have You Asked for My Permission?
The Demonic Beasts she had encountered before had all been at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
’Now one at the Golden Core Stage has shown up. Can I even win this fight?’
A black Phantom Spider crawled out of its cave. Its massive body and legs unfurled, its eight long limbs planting themselves on the ground. Its legs looked like sharp weapons, a truly frightening sight.
The talisman paper she had just tossed into the Phantom Spider’s den had completely obliterated it. Now, The Spider King was enraged, its eyes a blood-red.
’If it had a rage meter above its head, it would definitely be past 999+ right now.’
A Golden Core Stage Demonic Beast’s pressure was immense.
"Haha... Big guy, would you believe me if I said I was just passing by?"
"Don’t be so angry."
Phantom Spider: "HISSS... SKREEE..."
A puddle of green venom dripped from the corner of the Phantom Spider’s mouth, and then its long legs shot out to attack her. Celeste Grant’s figure flashed, and she instantly retreated.
The black spider pursued her relentlessly, its long legs stabbing straight at her. Its limbs were ridiculously fast and agile. Fortunately, Celeste Grant’s reflexes had become very sharp recently. Otherwise, every strike would have been a guaranteed hit.
This big black spider was truly worthy of being a Demonic Beast that had cultivated to the Golden Core Stage. She was on a completely different level from it; the gap in their realms was so vast that it was simply impossible to win.
’The main thing is, it’s also very smart, as if it can predict my movements. Looks like relying on speed to fight it is useless.’
Celeste Grant gathered her Cultivation and continuously attacked the big black spider. The light of various kinds of Magic appeared in the forest.
The Phantom Spider’s defense was very strong. She managed to hit it several times, but could only inflict minor injuries.
At this moment, the spider made a hissing sound, twisting its body as it furiously chased her, spitting silk in her direction. It scuttled sideways across various trees, trying to bind her with its signature web.
’This Phantom Spider is really vicious.’
’If I get tied up by it, I’ll definitely be done for. So, knowing I’m outmatched and can’t win, I’m definitely not going to face it head-on.’
Celeste Grant’s figure flashed quickly. She flew around to the big black spider’s rear. With a wave of her hand, a dozen or so high-grade talisman papers appeared in the air.
She formed a simple Array seal with her hands. Instantly, the talisman papers lit up, surrounding the Phantom Spider’s massive body.
This was the only Array she had learned.
She swiped her finger lightly and whispered a single word.
"Explode."
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!
The moment her voice fell,
her figure instantly shot back over ten meters. At the same time, with the Phantom Spider as the epicenter, the power of the Blast Flame Talismans razed the surrounding area. A shockwave rolled out, and a mushroom cloud surged into the sky.
’These Top-grade Explosion Talismans are really useful. Next time, I need to ask Elder Carter to make some more. When I run into something I can’t beat, I can just grab a handful and throw them.’
’They’re practically an essential item for anyone traveling, getting into trouble, and committing arson.’
These Blast Flame Talismans were created by Elder Carter of the Bloodfiend Den. Of course, the original Blast Flame Talismans were just low-grade talismans and weren’t very powerful.
It was Celeste Grant who gave him a new idea, and after some improvements and upgrades, the result was the current, immensely powerful Blast Flame Talisman. To thank her, Elder Carter created a whole pile of them for her. She kept them in her Storage Ring for emergencies.
She didn’t have much of anything else right now, but she had plenty of these lethally powerful talisman papers.
When the sound of the explosions stopped, Celeste Grant flew forward. The Phantom Spider’s corpse was lying motionless in the deep crater created by the blast.
As she walked closer, the big black spider, which had been motionless, suddenly twitched and tried to push itself up. Then, it spat a mouthful of venom toward Celeste Grant.
’You’ve got to be kidding me.’
’It was playing dead?’
Celeste Grant quickly dodged, forming a Water Arrow in her hand and firing it directly at the top of its head. With a heavy blow, she finally pierced through the black spider’s head.
This time, its body twitched, but it couldn’t get up. It was truly and utterly dead.
A Golden Core Stage Demonic Beast would definitely have a Beast Core in its body—the source of a Demonic Beast’s power, its inner core.
Celeste Grant had no use for such a violent object. However, she could sell it, and even if she didn’t, some disciples back home could use it. It shouldn’t be wasted.
Celeste Grant picked up her weapon and dug out its Beast Core.
The Phantom Spider itself was a glossy black, and the hair on its legs was ugly, but the Beast Core inside its body was a beautiful green.
She didn’t touch it directly with her hands. Instead, she made it float in the air, washed it with condensed water, and only then did she put it away.
She had already taken the most valuable part, the Beast Core. As for the Demonic Beast’s corpse, she gave it a glance and decided she didn’t want it.
Just as she was about to leave, she saw people walking over.
Celeste Grant looked closely.
Several Cultivators, holding blades and covered in blood, emerged from the depths of the forest. Judging by their attire, they seemed to be Demon Cultivators. It was obvious they had just come from a brutal fight.
One of them was even missing a hand and was bleeding profusely.
’To be honest,’
’she wasn’t afraid of Demon Cultivators anymore.’
Celeste Grant glanced at them and saw the totem of the Bloodfiend Den on their clothes. Their black robes were too conspicuous.
’Are these Bloodfiend Den disciples?’
If it were anyone else, she couldn’t be bothered. But they were her own people, so she had to intervene.
She walked up and asked,
"Hey brothers, what happened to you all?"
Hearing her voice,
those people walked toward her.
When they saw her, everyone froze for a moment, then they all knelt down in unison.
"Greetings, Madam."
"Greetings, Madam."
Seeing the black-robed figures kneeling on the ground, she frowned slightly.
’One by one, they’re either wounded or crippled.’
’How did they end up like this?’
’They’re covered in blood.’
"Stop kneeling for now."
With a wave of Celeste Grant’s hand, several bottles of Elixir Pills appeared before them. "These are Hemostatic Pills and Healing Pills. Take them."
The few Bloodfiend Den disciples reached out to take them, then placed a hand on their chests and bowed their heads, their faces full of excitement.
"Thank you for your gift, Madam."
"Thank you for your gift, Madam."
They had actually seen the Madam in person. People like them held this Madam in high esteem.
They had only ever seen her in a Memory Stone before. Luckily, their superiors had made them memorize her face, or they wouldn’t have recognized her today.
"Heal yourselves first."
"Yes..."
The men took the Elixir Pills.
Then they began to meditate and heal.
These men treated Celeste Grant with unconditional obedience.
The Elixir Pills Celeste Grant gave them were all top-grade elixirs, so their effects were excellent. Soon, the men’s injuries had completely recovered. Only the one with the severed arm couldn’t grow it back.
"I’m healed."
"I’ve recovered too."
"Thank you, Madam, for bestowing these Elixir Pills upon us disciples to heal our wounds."
Celeste Grant looked at one of the men’s arms. He didn’t look very old. A fine young man like him would be ruined without a hand.
She frowned slightly.
She suppressed the ache in her heart.
She took a small vial from her Storage Ring and tossed it over. "A fine young man like you can’t go without a hand. This is a Seventh Grade Vitality Pill, take it." Celeste Grant turned her head aside.
’That was a seventh-grade pill, after all. She was afraid her own stinginess would make her regret it.’
