Extraordinary Demon King Soldier

Chapter 563: Hundred-Year Ginseng


"Run! Hurry up and run..."

The scene just now left the hundreds of people present trembling with fear!

Though each of them was a ruthless killer.

However, such a bloody scene, it was indeed their first time witnessing!

The Demon King was terrifying!

With nothing but a gentle slap from his bare hands, a person's head was shattered...

Like a burst watermelon!

This destructive power was far stronger than the guns in their hands!

Quite a few people had offended the Demon King earlier, and they didn't want the same fate as that person!

Almost in an instant, everyone present scattered and fled.

A large swathe of people was originally standing densely packed at the mountainside.

But in the blink of an eye, apart from some chaotic footprints left in the snow, all that remained was a vast white expanse!

Three bearded men stood dumbfoundedly in place, stupefied.

"Ghost... It must be a demon!"

The three of them took a deep breath.

So many mercenary experts who killed without a blink had run away, why were they still foolishly standing there?

With a glance at each other, the three ran off without looking back.

Their speed was even faster than if they had really seen a ghost!

They didn't stop until they reached the other side of the mountain.

The mercenaries who had fled in panic earlier hadn't run far and were now gathered on this side.

Even though the Demon King was there, they still weren't willing to give up, looking longingly at the cave entrance occupied by the Demon King alone, with some trepidation in their hearts.

After everyone else had gone far away, Ye Qiu smiled with satisfaction.

After circling around the cave entrance, Ye Qiu took a cursory look at the situation inside the cave.

It was pitch black inside the cave entrance, and it seemed bottomless,

with bursts of cold wind occasionally blowing outward.

The wind carried a hint of a bloody scent.

"It should be here!"

Ye Qiu murmured to himself.

This aura was much stronger than that of the pack of Snow Wolves he had encountered before.

So, Ye Qiu concluded that this was the cave of the white bear.

After confirming that this was indeed the white bear's lair, Ye Qiu went directly inside.

Without making any preparations!

Inside the cave, it was pitch dark. The passage wasn't large, but enough to accommodate three to five people walking side by side.

Walking inside in the dark for two or three meters, the passage gradually became wider.

Compared to the cold and damp exterior of the cave, the interior was evidently much warmer.

Along the way, Ye Qiu didn't find anything unusual.

Except for a line of footprints in the mud, similar to those near rail tracks, there were no other findings.

Continuing to walk inside for another two or three minutes, the space in the passage grew larger.

The temperature inside kept rising, and the footprints on the ground became clearer.

Ye Qiu perked up, cautiously observing his surroundings.

Quiet! Very quiet!

There wasn't any special aura present.

After walking a dozen more steps, the passage reached its end.

A large space appeared before Ye Qiu's eyes.

This seemed to be a naturally formed cave, not particularly large in area, but the temperature was very high, making it very suitable for a white bear's habitat.

Lighting a lighter, Ye Qiu shone it around inside the cave.

The cave was filled with rubble and broken walls; it wasn't very flat.

In this large space, there were no traces of the white bear to be found.

Ye Qiu felt a bit disappointed.

It seemed the white bear wasn't in at the moment.

But after seeing the clear footprints and fresh droppings on the ground, Ye Qiu still felt a bit excited.

This was enough to indicate that the white bear still resided here temporarily and had been active here not long ago.

After wandering around, just as Ye Qiu was about to leave, he suddenly spotted something white and carrot-like in a distant corner.

Hurriedly walking over, under the light, Ye Qiu could see the full appearance of this thing.

It had long, dense whiskers, a spindle-shaped body, and a grayish-white color.

This thing was ginseng!

The size of this ginseng was immense, as big as two fists. Although the shape was similar, it was significantly different from ordinary ginseng.

However, unfortunately!

This precious ginseng had already lost a section, with uneven white bear tooth marks on it.

"What a pity!"

Seeing the bite marks, Ye Qiu felt an inexplicable pang of heartache.

If this ginseng were still intact, it would be invaluable, a superb tonic.

But now that it was missing a large half, its value was greatly discounted.

However, after some thought, Ye Qiu came to terms with it!

Being able to obtain this item was already very fortunate!

One must know that such ginseng is not commonly found.

Ginseng like this is at least a hundred years old.

Never mind half a root, even a small piece of it is a great supplement for ordinary people!

Moreover, even that white bear treated it as food, unwilling to eat it all at once, which was enough to prove how magical the power of this ginseng was!

Fortunately, Ye Qiu came in time; otherwise, it would indeed be quite regrettable if this thing fell into someone else's hands.

With the ginseng in hand, Ye Qiu meticulously searched the cave once more.

Only then did Ye Qiu leave the cave.

Outside, it was exceptionally cold.

Upon exiting, Ye Qiu couldn't help but shiver.

Ye Qiu originally planned to return to the small town to rest first.

But on second thought, he decided against it.

The white bear's living habits were not yet fully grasped.

Ye Qiu didn't know when the white bear would return.

Thinking it over, he simply found a place not far from the cave entrance and sat down.

Since the white bear had lived in the cave not long ago, it was bound to return!

After sitting down, some people not far away had already noticed him.

"He has something in his hand!"

Some sharp-eyed people immediately saw the thing in Ye Qiu's hand.

It was an ancient-looking ginseng!

Judging by the size, it must be at least several hundred years old!

This was truly a good find...

They were somewhat excited, eager to obtain that item immediately.

But facing the Demon King, they didn't have the courage.

If that person weren't the Demon King, if someone else held that ginseng, they would have already rushed up to snatch it!

Everyone's hearts were very excited, but after looking at Ye Qiu, they still held back.

They had originally planned to wait for Ye Qiu to leave, then go in to scavenge the leftovers.

But judging by the situation, Ye Qiu seemed to intend to stay there and had no plans of leaving.

"Forget it, it's hopeless, let's go!"

They felt very unwilling, but with the weather and Ye Qiu keeping watch at the cave entrance, they didn't want to spend any more time in vain.

With some people taking the lead, others also sighed and followed back to the small town.

After everyone had left, the sky gradually darkened.

Ye Qiu also gradually became vigilant.

He knew well the habits of bears.

They were mostly active at night!

But this white bear seemed quite different.

Not returning nearly the entire day made Ye Qiu suspect if the white bear had reversed its living habits?
