Chapter 1362: Chapter 745: Spiritual Medicine Chapter 1362: Chapter 745: Spiritual Medicine “Hmph, Brother, just you watch, I’ll prove to you that my choice is the right one.” Abigail Mitchell muttered to herself, her face breaking into a broad smile as she planned to pick the spiritual medicine she had long dreamed of.

However, just at that moment, Richard Mitchell suddenly spoke out: “Gacy, be careful, that Companion Beast is not a vegetarian. Don’t risk your life for a single spiritual medicine.”

Although his words were laced with concern, anyone with eyes could tell that Richard Mitchell wasn’t really trying to stop Abigail. He was merely reminding her, not truly obstructing her.

Nancy Mitchell and Rain Mitchell exchanged a smile, both understanding Brother Mitchell’s thoughts. After all, he too was a selfish person; he just didn’t want to express it openly.

“Brother, rest assured, I’ll be careful,” Abigail replied, turning back with confidence in her tone. Then, she continued towards the spiritual medicine, with harvesting tools already prepared in her hands.

Richard Mitchell watched Abigail’s retreating figure with mixed feelings. He knew that his decision might impact the future of the entire team, but he also understood that sometimes being a bit selfish could really bring unexpected benefits.

Just then, the battle between Logan and the Companion Beast had reached a fever pitch. Logan, despite his exceptional skills, was evenly matched against the formidable Companion Beast, neither side gaining a clear advantage.

Richard watched the battle, calculating in his heart. He knew this was the perfect moment to harvest the spiritual medicine. But, could he really just stand by and watch Abigail go pick it? He wrestled with himself, torn by indecision.

Meanwhile, Abigail had already reached the spiritual medicine. She reached out, preparing to pick that precious spiritual medicine. But at that moment, the Companion Beast let out an enraged roar, as if sensing Abigail’s intentions. It swiftly turned and lunged toward her.

——————————–
The people around her had already started cheering, all eyes focused on Abigail as if the spiritual medicine was already in the bag.

“Good job, Gacy, quickly harvest the spiritual medicine, we must leave here immediately, don’t let the Companion Beast notice!” Nancy excitedly shouted, her eyes sparkling with anticipation as if she had already seen the scene of their safe departure with the spiritual medicine.

“Gacy is indeed smart and agile, such a woman is truly admirable!” Rain also sang praises, giving Abigail a thumbs up, her eyes full of admiration.

“Brother Mitchell, it looks like you should learn from your sister, to be this decisive. Once the item is in our hands, we can leave and no longer worry about the threat of that Companion Beast,” Gacy Mitchell added to the praises, his tone filled with admiration for Abigail.

“Today is really our lucky day, someone has drawn away the disaster for us, and we just need to sit back and reap the benefits. It seems like the heavens are looking after us, bringing us such a good opportunity,” another person remarked reflectively, a satisfied smile on his face, as if he could already see the glorious moment of their triumphant return with the spiritual medicine.

Everyone had already started celebrating in advance, laughing and patting each other on the shoulders as if victory was already in their grasp. They felt that their strength and luck were extraordinary, and that spiritual medicine was destined to be theirs.

However, just as Abigail was about to harvest the spiritual medicine, an unexpected turn of events occurred. She suddenly felt a sharp pain in her fingers as if stung by something. Looking down, she saw her fingers turning black, an inexplicable dark power rapidly spreading.

“How could this happen? Brother, Brother, please save me!” Abigail screamed in terror, her voice filled with despair and panic. She would have never imagined encountering such a crisis at the brink of success.

Hearing Abigail’s cries for help, Richard and the others snapped back to reality. They saw the blackening of Abigail’s fingers, the dark power swiftly extending to her entire palm, and they were all shocked.

“Gacy, what’s wrong? What happened?” Richard anxiously asked, trying to approach Abigail to examine her injuries.

But at that moment, it was as if all the spiritual energy had been drained from Abigail’s body, she could no longer gather her cultivation technique, and her body began to wobble. Eventually, she fell from mid-air, crashing to the ground with a thud and even rolling several times before stopping.

“Ah!” Abigail let out a pained moan, her face full of pain and despair. She had never imagined that she would suffer such a blow at this moment. Those around her were also stunned, watching Abigail’s agony with shock and confusion. They couldn’t understand why, just at the moment of success, such a mishap could occur.

Her face and arms bore various cuts, as if sliced by numerous fine blades, splattered with blood, a ghastly sight to see. Abigail moaned in pain, her body curled up, her hands tightly clutching herself, as if trying to alleviate the unbearable pain.

“Ahh, it hurts, it hurts so much, Brother, please save me quickly!” Abigail’s voice was filled with tears, filled with despair and pleading. She looked up at Richard, her eyes brimming with tears, as if he was her only lifeline at that moment.
