Reincarnation - The Divine Doctor and Stay-at-home Dad-Chapter 1002: Scapegoats

Chapter 1002 Scapegoats

Li Zhen and Li Mengyao had been standing by and watching the battle. They were not in a hurry to enter the cave.

Since the Earth Bear came out, it meant that the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits were not ripe. Even if they entered the cave, they could not pick these Earthvein Spiritual Fruits yet.

What’s more, if they did that, it would also anger the demonic beast. By then, it would be harder for them to control the beast.

The Earth Bear paid no attention to the people advancing toward it. It continued to drool and walked toward the boulder.

When it reached the back of the boulder and found that the source of the fragrance was only an incense stick, it knew that it had been tricked. It immediately let out an earth-shattering roar and swiped at the Beast Saliva Incense, reducing it into pieces instantly.

Despite that, it appeared that the rage in its heart had not simmered down. Once again, its paws smashed the boulder in front of it.

With a loud bang, the huge boulder which weighed nearly a hundred tons was shattered into pieces by its paw. These pieces flew in all directions like raindrops.

“Ao…”

The Earth Bear had a certain amount of intelligence. It seemed to know the reason for all of this, so it ignored the people around and strode toward the cave.

Li Zhen shouted from the side, “Stop it quickly. We can’t let it return to the cave.”

This Earth Bear was very powerful. If it was guarding the cave, there was no way for Li Zhen and others to enter the cave.

When the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits ripened, this beast would definitely eat all of them in one go. By then, there was nothing anyone could do.

After hearing the first prince’s order, the hundred or so guards of the Dragon Royal Family shouted loudly, removed the bows on their backs, and then began to shoot wildly at the Earth Bear.

Although their arrows were not as good as the God-killing Arrows, these arrows had been carefully fabricated by the royal family. In addition, these guards were at least at the stage of the Combination Realm. Therefore, every arrow they shot had great power.

For a moment, the piercing sounds of arrows tearing through the air echoed ceaselessly. These arrows rained down on the Earth Bear.

However, this beast ignored all the arrows. It just glanced at the people from the Dragon Kingdom disdainfully and went straight to the entrance of the cave.

These arrows hit the Earth Bear with perfect accuracy. To their surprise, these steel arrows could not penetrate its seemingly soft fur at all.

Each arrow broke into two and fell to the ground with a cracking sound.

Among the eighth-level demonic beasts, the Earth Bear possessed two special characteristics. Its defense capability was extremely astonishing and its strength was incomparably great, so even the God-killing Arrows wouldn’t be able to do anything to it, let alone these ordinary arrows.

Seeing that the arrows didn’t work, Li Zhen shouted to his men again, “Move! We must stop it!”

The guards put away their bows, drew their weapons, and charged toward the Earth Bear.

A guard at the late stage of the Combination Realm brandished the broadsword in his hand and viciously slashed down at the Earth Bear’s head.

It did not dodge at all. When the broadsword hit its head, a clanging round could be heard. It seemed that this broadsword had hit a wall of steel.

Then, the Earth Bear brandished its huge front paw and slapped the guard away.

This strike was frighteningly powerful. After being slapped by this beast, the guard turned into a pile of meat puree immediately and then hit a boulder nearby again. One couldn’t even tell that this meat puree was originally a human being.

Then, the Earth Bear seemed to get even more enraged and its savagery was provoked. With a howl, it charged back into the crowd. In the blink of an eye, dozens of people died under its claws.

Li Zhen and Li Mengyao were stunned. They didn’t expect that this beast was so powerful.

At this time, Wang Minghai shouted, “Those guards below the stage of the Grand Completion Realm step aside. You are no match for it at all.”

After hearing the shout, the guards stepped back one after another. After all, no one wanted to die. The big beast in front of them was too fierce.

Right at this moment, a figure in a black robe charged at the Earth Bear and raised a hand to slap it on the head.

The Earth Bear didn’t dodge at all and just swiped at the figure with its paw.

This man was a master at the early stage of the Grand Completion Realm. Naturally, he was much more flexible than the other guards. After his blow, he used the counterforce to retreat quickly and avoided the claw of the Earth Bear.

Although he wasn’t injured, his palm strike did not hurt the Earth Bear. For Earth Bear, the hit by this palm strike was like scratching an itch.

At the moment, another master’s sword at the early stage of the Grand Completion Realm lashed out at the back of the Earth Bear’s head.

Although the sword in his hand was not a great artifact like the Xuan Yuan Sword, it was absolutely sharp. However, this sword couldn’t even break through the basic defense of the Earth Bear. It had absolutely… no effect!

With a casual swipe of its paw, the master at the early stage of the Grand Completion Realm was sent flying dozens of meters away.

Seeing that this beast was so fierce, there was a look of horror in everyone’s eyes. It was impossible for them to break the defense of this beast at all because it had such a strong defense capability. There was nothing they could do.

At this time, Wang Minghai began to attack it. His sword, like a dragon, whistled and stabbed toward the triangular area under the Earth Bear’s neck.

He was experienced and knew that this triangular area was the heart of the Earth Bear, so this area could be said to be its vital part.

He was a master at the middle stage of the Grand Completion Realm, so his strength was far beyond that of the others.

The Earth Bear seemed to sense the power of this sword and no longer ignored it like before. Instead, it raised its claw and lashed out at the sword.

“Bam!” Wang Minghai’s sword pierced the Earth Bear’s claw. This time, the sword finally broke through the defense, leaving a line of blood on its claw.

Due to the strong counterforce, Wang Minghai was also sent flying tens of meters away. His wrist felt numb and the sword in his hand almost fell to the ground.

Although the paw of the Earth Bear had been pierced, it was only a very shallow wound. This beast’s self-healing ability was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, the bloody wound had already healed.

“What? How can I fight with it? I managed to wound it, but it healed in the blink of an eye!”

Li Zhen was stunned. Fortunately, their purpose was not to kill the Earth Bear but to lure it outside the cave for two days. After these Earthvein Spiritual Fruits were ripe and were taken away by them, they would leave.

However, the Earth Bear seemed to become even more furious after it was wounded. No one had been able to make it bleed in all these years.

In its anger, it seemed to have forgotten about the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits in the cave. It charged madly toward Wang Minghai.

Although Wang Minghai was also at the middle stage of the Grand Completion Realm, he dared not face the Earth Bear head-on. Thus, he could only try to evade its charge by dodging to the left and right.

The enraged Earth Bear could flatten a forest and smash a small mountain easily.

When it was in this state, even the two men at the early stage of the Grand Completion Realm nearby did not dare to help Wang Minghai.

Qin Haodong ignored the battle outside and sneaked into the cave alone.

This was the Earth Bear’s territory. Normally, other creatures would not dare to enter. He walked to the pond.

Looking at the five Earthvein Spiritual Fruits on the small tree, Qin Haodong felt happy. With these items, not only could the Three-legged Golden Toad be evolved, but the Little Witch’s Holy Spirit body could be awakened for the third time.

He crossed the pool and came to the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits tree.

Ordinary people had to wait for three days to get these Earthvein Spiritual Fruits. That was because they would ripen only after three days. However, Qin Haodong was the Emperor Green-Wood.

Although the Earthvein Spiritual Fruit was a miraculous fruit, it belonged to the wood element. Thus, he didn’t need to wait for three days.

Qin Haodong pointed to the root of the tree. Green-Wood Genuine Qi was slowly injected into it. Then, a strange scene appeared.

The small tree in front of him quickly grew by a few centimeters. Next, the five fruits on it grew at a speed visible to the naked eye. The red area of each fruit became bigger and bigger. It took only a few minutes for these fruits to ripen.

After the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits ripened, a refreshing fragrance permeated the cave, which gave Qin Haodong a comfortable feeling.

“Great!”

Qin Haodong cried out in his heart and took all the five Earthvein Spiritual Fruits away.

He didn’t pay much attention to the small tree. This kind of natural treasure had to be preserved. Many years later, it would bear many Earthvein Spiritual Fruits again.

After that, he did not stop at all. He rushed to the entrance of the cave quickly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Outside the cave, the Earth Bear was by now in a frenzied state. It attacked with all its might and Wang Minghai was battered and exhausted.

Wang Minghai complained in his heart. At this rate, it was hard to know if he could hold on for two days. This beast was too fierce.

Not only did it have endless strength, but its defense capability was also extremely strong. He could not cause any substantial damage to it at all.

Right at this moment, the Earth Bear suddenly stopped swiping out with its claws. It first sniffed the air forcefully. Then, it paid no further attention to Wang Minghai and charged madly toward the cave.

Having guarded the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits for so many years, it naturally knew the smell of the ripening fruit. For some unknown reason, it could smell the fragrance of the ripe Earthvein Spiritual Fruits.

This made the Earth Bear panic. It dared to stay outside of the cave before because these Earthvein Spiritual Fruits had not ripened yet and were worthless to others. Thus, no one would pick them.

But it was different now. The Earthvein Spiritual Fruits emitted a kind of fragrance, which meant they were ripe, so it had to go back and swallow all of them as soon as possible. Only in this way would it feel reassured.

Seeing the Earth Bear charging back crazily into the cave, Wang Minghai was stunned for some moments. The other two masters at the early stage of the Grand Completion Realm hurried over to stop it.

But their strength was relatively weak. They were all struck by the Earth Bear and fell to the ground and spurted out mouthfuls of blood.

When they saw that the Earth Bear was so powerful, the other guards stood aside and did not dare to approach it at all. Even the two masters at the early stage of the Grand Completion Realm were no match for it. They would only get themselves killed if they tussled with the Earth Bear.

After this delay, the Earth Bear had already charged into the cave.

It came to the pool at lightning speed and found that there was only a small bare tree left. All the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits that it had guarded for many years were gone. The air was still filled with the lingering fragrance of the ripe Earthvein Spiritual Fruits.

This time, the Earth Bear was completely furious. It had been on guard here for so many years, but in the blink of an eye, all the fruits had been taken away by others.

“Those despicable humans outside must have stolen my fruits. They lured me out and let their accomplices steal my Earthvein Spiritual Fruits.”

The intelligent Earth Bear put the blame squarely on Li Zhen and the others.

Since it had known who the thieves were, it had to take revenge. It turned and rushed out of the cave.
