Behind him, the cub began waking again, but the medicinal haze hit its mind once more, knocking it out instantly.
Xiao Jian generously dumped the rest of the powder on it, then dashed out of the chamber and back toward the fork.
If he remembered correctly, there was also an Amethyst Source in the other tunnel.
Using his soul perception to check for danger, he rushed into the second cavern.
At the center stood a platform over a meter tall, built entirely from purple crystal.
Resting atop it was a round sphere the size of Xiao Jian's head.
Xiao Jian flipped his hand and struck the sphere hard with the Purple Spirit Crystal.
Crack!
A fissure crawled across the surface. Moments later, it spread...then shattered with a sharp boom.
Xiao Jian quickly put the crystal away and used a jade bottle to collect the Amethyst Source that poured out.
He filled six bottles.
Unfortunately, some of the liquid seeped into tiny gaps in the platform, too shallow to scoop.
Xiao Jian froze the remaining liquid instantly with his ice-attribute Dou Qi, scraped off the frozen bits, and tossed them directly into his mouth.
A heartbeat later, the frozen amethyst source melted on his tongue and slid smoothly down his throat.
Satisfied, he glanced at the now-spotless crystal platform...bright and mirror-smooth.....then turned and sprinted out.
Roar!
From the tunnel behind him, the furious roar of the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King echoed out.
Hearing that roar, Xiao Jian instantly knew the beast must have gone berserk and already broken free from the Beast-Locking Chains.
He had specially tied its mouth shut earlier.....so now that it could roar again, the meaning was self-explanatory.
His steps quickened.
Although the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King wasn't slow, comparing speed with Xiao Jian
....whose strength was temporarily close to that of a Da Dou Shi and who cultivated wind-attribute Dou Qi.....was simply impossible.
"Time to run!"
Muttering to himself, Xiao Jian activated Phoenix Glide Step.
This Dou Technique belonged to Mu She. Though it was only a High Yellow-Rank skill, its straight-line acceleration surpassed Dragon-Serpent Steps by a wide margin.
High Yellow-Rank skills were easy to practice. Xiao Jian learned it casually.....another case of "having more skills never hurts."
His speed soared. The wind whistled past his ears. Soon, a bright light appeared ahead.
He extended his soul sense to check the surroundings.
Confirming it was safe, he lunged out from the cave entrance and leaped straight down.
Roar!
Moments later, the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King burst out after him, violet crystal light flowing across its body, dense purple flames flaring under the sunlight.
Up in the sky, Yun Yun saw Xiao Jian escape the cave while the lion king roared furiously like it wanted vengeance. She instantly knew he had succeeded.
She no longer intended to fight. Her phoenix-like eyes narrowed, and she swung her sword, sending a sharp arc of sword-light toward the beast.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King was startled.
It flashed forward, shielding its child with its body, and slapped the sword-light apart.
"Roar! Roar!"
The little lion cub cried anxiously, as if complaining.
Yun Yun flapped her wings once and swept downward.
Before Xiao Jian could crash to his death, she scooped him into her arms.
Feeling himself fall into a soft, fragrant embrace, Xiao Jian shamelessly wrapped his arms around the Dou Huang elder sister's waist.
Before Yun Yun could scold him, he whispered into her ear, "Mission accomplished. Go!"
His breath brushed her ear.....hot, scorching. Yun Yun shivered slightly. Immediately she noticed his body was burning like a furnace.
"What's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine… took some 'supplement' and it's hitting hard right now."
Xiao Jian could feel waves of heat bursting from every meridian, melting into his muscles and bones. He sighed helplessly.
He had underestimated the purity of energy hidden inside the Amethyst Spirit Source.
Seeing violet light spots gradually appearing across his skin and feeling the increasingly fiery body in her arms, Yun Yun instantly realized his condition was not simple.
"You hateful humans! You even stole the Amethyst Spirit Source! Today, you will die!
The lion king's furious roar shook the sky. Purple flames surged like a tidal wave.
"Hmph!"
