Transmigration: Children of The Plane

Chapter 104 Lucky Encounter



Lucky Encounter

After traversing for another few kilometers, despite his dozens of twists and turns as if he were trying to shake off any pursuers, Ye Xuan eventually made it to a clearing in the forest. Then, taking a moment to readjust his condition, Ye Xuan sat down cross-legged and began to meditate, circulating his Spiritual Qi.

His meditation would be quick as after only ten minutes, he was done. However, even after Ye Xuan opened his eyes, he waited in his position, most likely for someone else.

And soon enough, a familiar face soon showed up.

"It took you long enough, you barbarian." Ye Xuan coldly muttered as he eyed the person running up to his position.

"The people around me were much stronger and smarter than yours. It naturally took me much longer to get away." Shi Tian responded with an equal amount of distance and coldness in his tone.

"Hmph! Follow me." Not bothering to continue their hardheaded conversation, Ye Xuan flicked his sleeves and went to a specific tree at the edge of the clearing.

"This Sword Tomb better be worth it, Ye Xuan. I had to abandon my clansmen for this." Shi Tian remarked as he followed the average-looking youth.

"I told you not to bring them in the first place. Your circumstances are better than mine. I don't know why you didn't take advantage of that." Ye Xuan responded as he reached his target.

Shi Tian only snorted in response.

Seeing his companion not answer, Ye Xuan focused on the tree in front of him.

It wasn't a special tree by any stretch of the imagination and would be overlooked in any forest. However, to Ye Xuan, this tree was more appealing than any beauty he had ever seen himself.

And while struggling to hold back the feeling of licking his lips in anticipation, Ye Xuan pulled out a talisman from his spatial ring.

Placing it gently onto the tree, Ye Xuan jumped away, pulling along Shi Tian as well.

"What are you doing!" Shi Tian tried to struggle out of his grasp.

"Saving you. Just move back obediently. Something is about to happen!" Ye Xuan berated not letting go.

However, Shi Tian wasn't any weaker than him, so after a fierce struggle, Shi Tian managed to get free from Ye Xuan's grasp. But scared of what Ye Xuan mentioned, Shi Tian listened and moved back alongside Ye Xuan.

And soon enough, the talisman that was placed on the tree eventually seemingly melted into it, and like an ice cube in a pot of water, it disappeared, not even leaving a trace behind.

Following the odd phenomenon, shaking soon came from the tree and its surroundings before something bizarre happened. The ground started collapsing, with the ordinary tree as the epicenter.

Turning the originally clear and calm clearing that was a serene change in the chaotic and dangerous hunting grounds into a sinkhole that went down almost a dozen meters.

"This is why I told you to back up. Now follow me. That sound might likely attract some Qi Sea Realm demonic beasts. Getting inside is the only safe haven for us." Ye Xuan simply spoke as he jumped down the hole.

Nodding thankfully, Shi Tian also followed, jumping down into the sinkhole, leaving Xue Bai's eyesight.

Up in the tree, seeing all of this happen, Xue Bai was indecisive.

"I should follow, but I don't think I can evade their detection in such a tight spot." Xue Bai was at an impasse regarding his next move.

Following the two down there would almost certainly lead to them sensing his presence and most likely killing him soon after. However, if he stayed out here, not only could he miss the treasures down there, but he would also be wasting the time he spent stalking Ye Xuan.

But after some thinking, Xue Bai eventually figured out a plan that was the best of both worlds.

Killing and robbing!

Ye Xuan and Shi Tian obviously knew what was in the Sword Tomb and would pick the Tomb cleanly before exiting. So why not wait outside and set up a formation so when they leave, their loot would become his?

Thinking this much, Xue Bai had already convinced himself and began to work on his trap, which didn't take long as, after quickly setting up his gravity field array formation around the entrance/exit of the Sword Tomb, Xue Bai was ready for when the two would leave.

All he needed to do was to wait for them to leave the safety of the Sword Tomb and into the trap.

And that is what he did. Sitting down cross-legged in a random tree nearby, Xue Bai started to meditate as for when Shi Tian and Ye Xuan finally left, he'd be in his peak condition.

However, very soon, some terrifying pressures started to congregate around Xue Bai and the sinkhole.

Qi Sea realm demonic beasts had become curious about what happened here, and since it was their territory, they also needed to investigate it.

And of the many beasts that soon showed up, there were three that scared Xue Bai the most.

A skyscraper-tall lion and bear where every step they took shook the ground, and a snake with a waist thicker than the very tree Xue Bai sat on, led the group of almost a dozen Qi Sea Realm demonic beasts. It was very obvious to tell that of all of the demonic beasts that arrived, those three were the strongest.

Very quickly, the clearing was filled with terrifying beasts, each able to swallow Xue Bai whole like a snack.

Thankfully, while the demonic beasts had Spiritual Sense, theirs were concentrating on the sinkhole and not the trees above. So after failing to enter the Sword Tomb themselves through multiple attempts, the beats eventually started to leave. However, one stayed.

It was the over 5-meter-tall lion that wanted to stay in case something had already entered the Sword Tomb. And the other demonic beasts didn't care much, so after a few roars that seemed to resemble a conversation, the group scattered, returning to their own territories.

Xue Bai, in the tree, seeing all of this happen, was feeling a wealth of emotions. However, all of them were positive. Whether it was thankfulness that the demonic beasts all ignored him or that a Qi Sea Realm demonic beast had perfectly entered his trap, all of his emotions were good.

"Never mind anything else. Let's kill this lion first." Xue Bai simply spoke before activating all 12 formation flags.

Activating all 12 formation flags would give the gravity field array formation enough strength to completely immobilize an existence in the Qi Sea Realm. However, at the same time would also drain Xue Bai's Spiritual Qi just as quickly.

And while Xue Bai hadn't tested how long he could keep up with the strain of having all 12 formation flags activated, he was sure that it couldn't last longer than 5 minutes. He had activated 11 formation flags before once at home, and that had only lasted for less than 10 minutes. So adding one more flag into the equation would surely take away even more time.

So not daring to waste a second, Xue Bai jumped down and charged at the lion as soon as the gravity field array formation immobilized it.

Like the other beasts Xue Bai had trapped within the array formation, the lion was instantly both confused and enraged at the sudden suppressive force that immobilized him.

However, its roars did nothing to shake Xue Bai's will, and after crossing the distance between the two, Xue Bai jumped on top of its head and pulled out Fire Breath.

Imbuing both his Fire Element and Space Element into the sword, Xue Bai drove it deep into the back of the creature's head.

And like a knife through butter, Xue Bai's sword sliced through the skull of the creature, going right to the brain, instantly killing the Qi Sea Realm lion.
