I Am Born With A Silver Spoon novel Chapter 574

It was emitting light.

Even from afar, Chen Hao could sense the energy given out by this Water Elusive Stone.

“It certainly is a treasure!” Chen Hao was elated.

“What?”

Just when Chen Hao reached out to take it, he heard a rope swishing down from a tunnel above him.

Someone was here!

A person was climbing down the rope from another direction.

In a swift action, Chen Hao hid himself in a concealed position.

Not long after, a girl jumped down as expected.

She patted her hands and fixed her gaze at this Water Elusive Stone.

A pretty smile appeared on her lips as she said softly, “As expected, it’s here. Now that I have the Water Elusive Stone, I can set off!”

“It’s her?”

In a well-concealed position, Chen Hao saw clearly that this girl was none other than Gu Yuxiao.

After he left the Dragon Temple, he went back to Yang Mansion and had a discussion with Yang Wei. At that time, he heard from the maid that Gu Yuxiao had left.

He knew that this girl was uncommon and was skilled in martial arts.

However, he did not expect that she was here to retrieve the Water Elusive Stone as well.

More importantly, it seemed that this girl knew the whereabouts of the Water Elusive Stone beforehand.

Chen Hao could not help but smile bitterly as he realized that he had saved his competitor unintentionally.

Just when he was puzzling on how to show himself in front of Gu Yuxiao, an incident happened to her.

Roar!!!

A sickening roar could be heard suddenly. Gu Yuxiao was about to grab the Water Elusive Stone when a huge black figure appeared out of nowhere and pounded onto Gu Yuxiao while making a strange-sounding noise.

Before Gu Yuxiao’s hand could reach the Water Elusive Stone, she was forced to dodge the attack. She jumped and rolled to the side.

At this moment, that black figure’s appearance was revealed.

It was a bat.

To be precise, it was a giant bat which was even larger than a human.

Its head was as large as a human’s head, but what made it frightening was it had extremely long red fur, and the buckteeth that were exposed made it look like it was a hideous, angry human.

Saliva was dripping from this bat’s mouth.

It was baring its teeth and glaring fiercely.

Roar!!!

After another strange roar, the giant bat pounded toward Gu Yuxiao.

It moved extremely quickly, and it was strong.

Gu Yuxiao managed to dodge its claw attack, but she failed to escape its tail attack. She was hit on the chest, which caused her to fly across the air before landing brutally on the ground.

Gu Yuxiao’s wounds started to hurt again.

This time, streams of blood seeped out from her abdomen.

This giant bat obviously did not have the intention to stop its attacks. It was approaching Gu Yuxiao, preparing to enjoy its scrumptious meal.

Will I die here? That useless old man. I shouldn’t have trusted him. I should have set his Taoist Temple on fire to prevent him from deceiving others. He even said that my marriage fate will be… Gu Yuxiao thought.

After she left the Dragon Temple, she did not waste even one second and went straight to the mountain behind the Ming Family’s manor, where their ancestor’s mine was located. She wanted to get the Water Elusive Stone.

But now, she was going to die here and be eaten by this strange beast.

Gu Yuxiao felt disgusted at this thought.

She took out a dagger that she had and closed her eyes. She was planning to end her life.

“I’m sorry, great grandmother. I failed to complete the task you entrusted me with. I’m sorry that I couldn’t go to the Sea Palace!” After she said that, she was prepared to take her own life.

Suddenly, the giant bat let out a blood-curdling scream.

Following that scream was a noise of a heavy object collapsing onto the ground.

Gu Yuxiao opened her eyes.

She could not believe the scene she beheld. This giant bat was dead!

How could it be?
