Chapter 2011 470: Useless, Absolutely Useless

The illustrious figure from the Mysterious Immortal Realm who initially intended to pursue Lin Yifan changed his mind abruptly when he discovered the lad was after a Constellation Beast, and decided to pursue the Earth Bead Beast instead.

The Princess of Weiji Country, following closely behind, was perplexed and furiously rebuked, "Sixth Elder, how dare you defy the orders of this Princess? Are you tired of living?"

"Princess, that is a Constellation Beast. Let us obtain the Constellation Beads first, then deal with those two brats," explained the Sixth Elder of Weiji Country's highest academy.

"A Constellation Beast? Really?" the Weiji Country Princess inquired.

"Indeed!"

"Then hurry and capture it."

The Weiji Country Princess changed her expression faster than magic, for to her, the Gexing Root and the lives of her close guards were nothing compared to a Constellation Bead.

This is the harshest reality of the Cultivation World, where benefits outweigh everything else.

This was within Lin Yifan's expectation, but witnessing the Weiji Country folks truly act this way still surprised him a little.

The illustrious figure from the Mysterious Immortal Realm could easily obtain the Earth Bead, and he must stop this plundering, or perhaps seize the Earth Bead directly from the illustrious figure.

If pushed too far, he might really take out his painting scroll and kill the Sixth Elder of Weiji Country.

Everyone regarded the Earth Bead Beast as prey, but they underestimated its abilities.

This area was equivalent to the Earth Bead Beast's home, and it knew every detail of the terrain and landscape here.

Thus, it could easily utilize the intricate surroundings and complex terrain to evade pursuit by predators.

Additionally, among the Twenty-Eight Constellations Beasts, the Earth Bead Beast had a rather special skill: it ran very fast, like a fleeting shadow.

Those two Realms higher than it might not be able to catch up with it.

This Earth Bead Beast's Realm exceeded the Great Immortal Three Realms, and with its speed, a Mysterious Immortal First Realm figure might not catch up with it either.

The Sixth Elder of Weiji Country's highest academy was in the Mysterious Immortal Second Realm. In theory, he could catch up with the Earth Bead Beast, but lacking in knowledge of the terrain, it was difficult to say.

Sure enough, after a few minutes of pursuit, the Sixth Elder of Weiji Country's highest academy lost track of the Earth Bead Beast.

Moments later, the Princess of Weiji Country arrived with a large group to regroup.

Seeing the Sixth Elder at a loss, they felt the mission had likely failed.

"Sixth Elder, where's the Constellation Beast? Did you catch up with it?" asked the Princess of Weiji Country.

"Replying to the Princess, this old man is incompetent, unable to catch up with the Constellation Beast, and requests punishment," the Sixth Elder answered with shame.

"Useless, can't even catch up with a Great Immortal Realm Constellation Beast; what use are you?"

The Princess of Weiji Country was furious, her chest heaving with rage.

"Princess, you don't understand. This Earth Bead Beast is too cunning, using the terrain to evade this old man's several attacks and pursuits. I'm at a loss."

"What's the use of saying so much? Incompetence is incompetence," the Weiji Country Princess scolded harshly.

"Yes, yes, yes, the Princess is right to scold. I am indeed incompetent, shamed before my ancestors and the Emperor."

His family had been Elders of the highest academy in Weiji Country for generations, enjoying considerable prestige, yet in his generation, such a huge embarrassment occurred, leaving him ashamed.

"Now it's all over. Those two brats weren't caught, and the Constellation Bead wasn't obtained. How do you expect this Princess to explain when I return, or explain to the deceased Guard Jiang?"

The Weiji Country Princess continued to scold, venting her inner anger.

"Princess, rest assured, the army is converging here. As long as those two brats are still in the Jitian Rainforest, they're sure to be trapped."

"Useless, truly useless!" The Weiji Country Princess was furious and then questioned, "What should we do next?"

"Princess, since the Earth Bead Beast is active here, why don't we lie in wait for it?" the Sixth Elder suggested.

"Not a bad idea."

The Princess of Weiji Country felt that dealing with those two brats could be left to the army. Once the army arrived, those two brats would have nowhere to run.

The Earth Bead Beast was different; it might leave, hide in an extremely secretive place, or directly enter the Death Zone.

Therefore, they had to concentrate their efforts, focusing on capturing this Earth Bead Beast.

Sneaking around nearby, Lin Yifan and Lei Ming didn't expect this group to be so foolish and naive, almost ruining their plans.

Now, if they wanted to capture the Earth Bead Beast, they had to go far away, at least to avoid this group of people.

Leaving might be an opportunity but could also be a risk.

Judging from general psychology, if a person has been hunted in one place, they usually won't move there again, at least not for a long time.

Thus, Lin Yifan felt that leaving might be an opportunity.

After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to take the risk and left with Lei Ming.

Perhaps it was destiny's favor or something else, but two days later, they encountered the Earth Bead Beast under a banyan tree.

The Earth Bead Beast was resting peacefully.

After confirming there were no Weiji Country cultivators around, Lin Yifan quietly moved one step at a time towards the Earth Bead Beast.

They made no noise during the process, ensuring their feet floated mid-air to avoid touching fallen branches and leaves on the ground.

Everything was so smooth, but just as they were about to close in on the Earth Bead Beast, a vine as thick as an arm suddenly shot out from the left, lunging at them.

Lin Yifan and Lei Ming jumped back in fright.

Even though they made no sound, the Man-Eating Vine's movements created noise, immediately waking the Earth Bead Beast resting under the banyan tree.

Choosing to rest in this place had its reasons; with Man-Eating Vines here, it ensured an alarm before predators arrived.

Lin Yifan and Lei Ming were careless, completely unaware of its caution and cunning.

Upon waking, the Earth Bead Beast fled at once, unwilling to fight, as it didn't know how many forces these two might have behind them, better to be cautious.

Seeing this, Lin Yifan immediately gave chase.

Lei Ming was astonished by the vine's proactive attack, "Brother Lin, what kind of thing is this? Why did it attack us?"

"That's a Man-Eating Vine. It can drain your flesh and blood. Stay away from it. Don't entangle with them."

Lin Yifan responded while dashing towards the Earth Bead Beast.

"Man-Eating Vine?"

The name sent chills down Lei Ming's spine. It was the first time he had encountered such a bizarre entity.

He dared not linger, promptly catching up to Brother Lin, fleeing frantically.

But the Man-Eating Vines wouldn't let them off easily and swung into action.

In an instant, dozens of Man-Eating Vines appeared in front of them, blocking their path.

Seeing this, Lin Yifan could only attack directly.

He took out the Seven-Colored Immortal Sword, slicing and chopping fiercely without holding back a bit of strength.
