Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl

Chapter 259: 259 Ghost Mother Flower

As they ran, mammoth-sized Ghost Crocodiles kept lunging at them from every corner.

AnRan screamed in terror.

Is this supposed to be a trial?

This is hell, nowhere for humans to be!

“Ahhhh, I’m gonna die, I don’t want to spend another minute in this godforsaken place!”

“Shut up, will you?”

Jiang Xiaobai lambasted, “Focusing on staying alive is the most important thing, do you understand?”

Just a moment ago, after they had caught and sheared a purple rock beast in the middle of transcendence, they unintentionally stumbled upon this hellish place.

It was a giant swamp, vast in area, and inhabited by a large number of Ghost Crocodiles.

Their intrusion had disturbed the lurking Ghost Crocodiles and caused them to burst out like popcorn.

The Ghost Crocodiles, which sneak attack by crawling out from all around, move as slow as snails on land, but the swamp was their territory.

If it weren’t for Jiang Xiaobai’s numerous timely rescues, AnRan would have been crushed to death by the Ghost Crocodiles multiple times.

Luckily, despite their desperate situation, their speed was quite impressive, having improved a lot due to the numerous pursuits they’d managed to evade recently.

After narrowly escaping the swamp, AnRan slumped on the ground.

“I’m done playing, either kill me now or let’s get the hell out of this place.”

AnRan grumbled, “There’s another option, push me into that space where living things can exist, and handle this shit on your own, I’m done!”

AnRan was truly frightened.

If it were a direct fight, he wouldn’t be afraid of these Ghost Crocodiles, even if they were in great numbers he could still escape, right?

But here’s the problem, the Ghost Crocodiles hidden in the swamp ambush you.

And in this godforsaken place, with not a thing visible in sight, even the location of the swamp is unknown, one misstep and you’re a goner.

Not only does it test your reaction speed, but it considerably challenges your mental strength.

AnRan admitted his mental strength was lacking, he conceded, he’d quit, he’s done playing!

Whatever happens, happens.

Seeing AnRan in this state, Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but laugh, and after a gentle pat on AnRan, he began to speak.

“Alright, quit acting like you’re half dead. We’ve barely even started, have you forgotten that you were going to prove your strength to your father?”

AnRan rolled his eyes and flopped down on the ground, “Forget it, at this rate, I’m not sure if I’d be able to safely return home with all my fat intact.”

“Hold up, bro, with me around, none of this will be a problem, I’ll definitely save you if anything happens,” Jiang Xiaobai confidently declared.

“Yeah right, I didn’t see you worrying about my safety when you were running for your life earlier.”

AnRan retorted, turning his head away in annoyance.

Right now, he didn’t want to think about anything, he just wanted to lie down and recover from the mental trauma.

But just then, AnRan suddenly noticed a faint yellow light flickering in the darkness ahead.

The light disappeared as quickly as it appeared, if AnRan hadn’t seen it clearly, he would’ve thought his eyes were playing tricks on him.

AnRan quickly sat up and rubbing his eyes, he stared at the place where the light had blinked.

“What’s up, did you see a ghost or something?” Jiang Xiaobai chuckled.

“Be quiet, I think I just saw a yellow light spot.” AnRan hurriedly rebuffed.

“How come, I didn’t see anything?” Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow and followed AnRan’s gaze, but all he saw was darkness.

“Really… I really…”

Before AnRan could finish, he saw another bout of yellow light ahead, this time he saw it clearly!

It definitely exists!

“Bro, it’s real, let’s go and see what it is!” AnRan hurriedly suggested, as he was already getting up and walking towards it.

Fearing any potential hazards, Jiang Xiaobai immediately drew his sword and followed him.

Throughout the journey, the yellow light didn’t appear again.

AnRan proceeded with caution, with the darkness making it impossible to determine the distance to the light source. He was worried about missing it, and it disappearing from sight.

Fortunately, just as the two were about to give up, a bright yellow light flickered not too far in front of them.

In the midst of darkness, it was piercingly bright!

Both of them saw it!

” Bro, look, it’s real, did you see it?”

“I saw it, this yellow light, could it be the rare spiritual herb Xiao Yuwei talked about?” Jiang Xiaobai squinted.

When they parted ways with Xiao Yuwei, she had mentioned a few things to look out for in the Death Swamp. She had specifically described the spiritual herb, probably because she thought Jiang Xiaobai was lucky.

A single yellow light spot that appears from time to time was the most distinctive feature of the spiritual herb, and the only way to find the herb in the boundless darkness.

No one could find the herb by any other means.

Seeing the yellow light flash again, Jiang Xiaobai squinted and hurried over.

They treaded carefully to avoid missing the spiritual herb, they took slow steps and paused every now and then, waiting for the herb to flash again.

About ten minutes later, by a faint light source, Jiang Xiaobai and AnRan saw a yellow flower in front of them.

It was just a small yellow leaf with a peculiar design that was visually appealing.

Moreover, the herb was bursting with rich spiritual energy, the moment Jiang Xiaobai felt this, his eyes widened.

If his senses were correct, according to the records of the divine pill refining technique in his memory, this thing was a divine flower – the Ghost Mother Flower.

The conditions for the birth of the Ghost Mother Flower are quite demanding, it must be in a dark environment, devoid of the slightest light, and the amount of spiritual energy can’t be too high, among other things.

In short, it’s extremely finicky.

The medicinal properties of the Ghost Mother Flower are also straightforward, it can enhance a person’s soul, and can also be used to repair the soul through other means.

And for those in the stage of Dividing the Gods, which is a stage beyond Transcendence, the soul is the most important aspect!

When Jiang Xiaobai met Gong Shuier before, he learnt from Lin Yucheng that there were very few things on this continent that had an impact on the soul.

Had it not been for his divine pill refining technique which was a cheat, he couldn’t have possibly managed to refine a pill that has an effect on the soul.

He could only rely on the Ghost Mother Flower, a main ingredient that inherently benefits the soul.

Instantly, a strange smile crept up on Jiang Xiaobai’s face, “Chubby, I have a feeling, we’re about to strike it rich.”

“What? How are we going to get rich, although Xiao Yuwei did say this flower is extremely precious…”
