Daddy the Miracle Medic (Lachlan and Miranda) novel Chapter 398

Chapter 398 Being a Robber Feels Good

Lachlan looked at Hugo with a look of suspicion and uncertainty. He thought to himself, were they both plotting against each other? Was it just for the sake of competing for a Five-Colored Lotus?

At this moment, Hugo looked coldly at Lachlan and said, "Landon, don't be scared. I won't kill you."

Lachlan responded with a questioning sound and secretly thought to himself: You say you won't kill me, but can you really do it if you wanted to?

"What do you mean by not killing me?"

"You're not going to help your brother seek revenge?" Lachlan was surprised by this response and asked why.

Hugo sneered and said with bitterness and resentment in his voice, "There's nothing worth avenging. Jackson was killed by your trickery. It's his own fault for being foolish enough to risk everything for the sake of our family."

He then changed his tone, "Not only will I spare your life, but I'll also give you some news! After this personal ranking trial is over, both you and Callum should be careful! Especially you! The Elder of the Verdant Pine from the Hidden Wood family has set their sights on killing you after leaving Hudpids Sect!"

"He's at least at Golden Core Realm or above!" added Hugo.

Upon hearing this news, Lachlan's eyes widened in shock as he became even more confused about what was happening.

What? Why is Hugo warning me about my safety? What kind of game is he playing?

"Why are you giving me a heads up?" Lachlan asked directly.

Hugo had an expression mixed with sadness, anger and resentment on his face as he replied, "Why not? As long as it disgusts the Wood family or the Hidden Wood family members, don't mind doing it!"

"Believe it or not, that's all there is to say. Take care!" With that said, Hugo turned around quickly without fighting Lachlan over the Five-Colored Lotus anymore.

Lachlan stood there, his face changing several times, speculating in his heart.

"Did Hugo have a falling out in the family? Or is this some conspiracy against me?"

"Whatever, I'll just be careful!"

"But it's better to believe there's a threat than to dismiss it. If there's really a cultivator of Golden Core or higher trying to kill me, it could be troublesome."

Lachlan thought to himself, a serious expression appearing on his face. Next, he collected the Five-Colored Lotus into his mustard seed bag and then searched the body of Jett.

The mustard seed bag on the other side was empty, indicating that he hadn't harvested anything since entering the Sacred Medicine Valley.

Lachlan curled his lips, picked up the crude knife belonging to the deceased, and headed towards the direction of the massive shadow of the mountain peak.

As time passed, Lachlan occasionally encountered herbs of varying quality, all of which he collected and stored in his mustard seed bag. After about an hour, his mustard seed bag had gained nine more herbs.

Among them was a fruit called "Earth Core Fruit," which could be considered a rare Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, its quality not much different from the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus.

Lachlan felt that by absorbing the spiritual energy contained in the Earth Core Fruit, he might be able to break through to the Core Formation Realm in one go. However, after some hesitation, he dismissed the idea.

The breakthrough process might not necessarily take a long time, and there were too many uncertainties in this place, making it unsafe.

Better to play it safe!

An hour later...

Squelch!

Lachlan mercilessly swung the crude knife in his hand, splitting a participant in the later stage of Uppecia into two. On the ground, there were two more bodies, all falling to Lachlan's blade.
