Chapter 77: Flood

"Master, you're wounded. Please treat your wound as fast as possible."

"I know…." Can't you do something about it?

Lin Hu seemed to be able to guess what Lin Xiao was thinking. He shook his head. "Master, I can't treat your wound at my current ability."

"…So you have to grow stronger first."

"Yes."

"How do you get stronger?"

"When Master get stronger, I'll naturally get stronger as well." Lin Hu grinned, showing a weird appearance of smiling dragon. "But it means that Master would also need a longer time to advance."

At this time, Lin Xiao's face completely dark. He was just happy when he was inside the dimension back then because he realized that his talent had increased. But now, he just realized that even with the increased speed…. He had to be responsible of cultivation for two people, eh no, one person and one beast.

The amount of Qi needed…..

Lin Xiao wanted to cry.

"Master, my time is up. We'll talk again later."

"Hey wait, you haven't told me what you can do. Lin Hu!" Lin Xiao was annoyed when he saw that Lin Hu had completely disappeared. However, he could see that the streak of light entered into his forehead.

Forehead…?

Bending down, Lin Xiao looked at the surface of water and finally saw that there was faint mark on his forehead. The shape of the mark was like a crown in golden color. Seeing the mark, Lin Xiao was stunned.

Whoever saw him in the future would surely knew that he had Emperor Inheritance if the mark was this clear.

'I'll wear headband later.'

Struggling to stand up, Lin Xiao slowly made his way to the location where the woman's corpse was. Well to be exact, to the place where what remained of her was still intact. The beasts were completely ruthless as they kill the woman gruesomely without leaving anything that could be traced back.

The beasts had already disappeared. Lin Xiao didn't know where they went after they had finished dealing with this woman over here.

Lin Xiao saw what he was looking for: Spatial Ring.

As someone from the backwater village, Lin Xiao clearly didn't have something so special and expensive like Spatial Ring. Only those who was influential enough, powerful enough, or rich enough would be able to afford having Spatial Ring.

The woman was a core disciple from Wang Luo Sect, so Lin Xiao had guessed that she must have Spatial Ring.

"Hehe, jackpot. Hiss…"

His arms felt like rupturing even though he was only exerting slight power to take the ring. The attack from the woman just now had completely destroyed his arms, so he knew that it would take a long time for him to recover.

That thought alone nearly made Lin Xiao cry.

Using his Qi to erase the woman's mark in the ring, Lin Xiao inspected the inside. It was not that big, but there were still one meter square of space. It would be more than enough for him to store something important if he wanted to.

The woman had a lot of money, books, and of course medicine. Lin Xiao quickly checked the medicine. Thankfully, he had learned the name of some common medicine from Shopkeeper Wang and his parents in the past.

While he had never seen them, he recognized the label.

"Bone Restoration, Recovery Pill."

Taking the two pills, Lin Xiao stuffed them into his mouth with difficulties. Bone Restoration was commonly used to repair bones while Recovery Pill was used to recover from external wound.

The wound on his arms felt much better. Lin Xiao could feel that his body was repairing itself in its own, but he had no time to linger here anymore. The water had already reached his waist and without his arms, he couldn't swim properly.

He glanced at the medicine and found another one.

"Qi Restoration."

It was a common pill for Body Training Cultivator to restore their Qi so that they could either continue fighting or training.

Lin Xiao stuffed the pill into his mouth. He could feel that the depleted Qi inside his body was completely restored after some time. Seeing that the water was going up very quickly, he initiated Moon Evasion and swiftly departed in the direction of his house.

At this time, he had completely forgotten about the beasts that helped him.

The beasts had disappeared by the time he finished talking with Lin Hu, so he hadn't had the chance to ask Lin Hu how it could happen nor asking where the beasts went. But with the condition of the place flooding like that, it wouldn't be strange to say that the beasts were also running for their lives.

After all, they didn't live inside the water.
