The Divine Doctor and Stay-at-home Dad

"Don't forget, we are not strong enough. Even if we kill all of them, we may not be able to get the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits." Qin Haodong said, "The Earth Bear is an eighth-level demonic beast, whose strength is comparable to that of a master at the middle stage of the Grand Completion Realm.

"If it's just waiting in the cave till all the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits ripen and gets swallowed by it, we really don't have any other good way."

He Ziwei asked, "Then what should we do?"

Qin Haodong said, "Don't worry! There is always a way out. After all, there are still three days left. Let's take a look at these people from the Dragon Kingdom first. They came prepared. Maybe they have a way to deal with the Earth Bear."

Niu Cuihua said, "Then what will we do now?"

Qin Haodong said, "Let's just wait. I'll go and check out the situation when it's dark. We'll have to play by ear then."

Niu Cuihua said, "No, it's too dangerous for you to go alone. I want to go with you."

He Ziwei added, "Me too. I want to go with you, too."

Qin Haodong waved his hand and said, "It will not be easy to hide if you go with me. The other party has a master at the middle stage of the Grand Completion Realm. If we are not careful, we will be discovered. At that time, all our previous efforts will be wasted."

Niu Cuihua said, "But we'll be worried about you if you go alone."

Qin Haodong said, "I have an idea. You two hide in the Seven Storeys Pagoda first. Once I am in danger, I will immediately summon you out to help me.

"This is the best way to hide and guarantee our strength."

Niu Cuihua thought for a moment and said, "That's a good idea, but you have to promise me that you will let me out if you are in danger."

"Don't worry. If the situation is urgent, I will ask you for help."

After their discussion, the three of them entered the Seven Storeys Pagoda directly and rested for a period of time.

When it was dark, Qin Haodong went out of the Seven Storeys Pagoda and used an Invisibility Talisman that rendered him invisible. Then, he walked quietly toward the camps of the Dragon Royal Family.

He made his way over carefully. After all, the other party had a master at the middle stage of the Grand Completion Realm.

Although his Invisibility Talisman could conceal his aura, he could not use a large amount of Genuine Qi. Otherwise, he would be easily discovered by others.

He passed cautiously through the guards who were stationed beside the camps and slowly walked inside.

There was a large golden tent in the middle of the campsite, which should belong to the first prince Li Zhen.

He quietly went round to the back of the tent and slowly released his Spirit to probe the situation inside.

There were three people in the tent. A sickly woman lay on the bed. Her face was pale. She looked extremely weak. She was Li Mengyao, the second princess who had escaped from Rosefinch Kingdom.

When he saw the state she was in, Qin Haodong immediately understood. It seemed that a large amount of vitality had been extracted because she used her life-saving Taoist Talisman and she was now very weak.

Next to Li Mengyao stood two people. They were Li Zhen, the first prince, and another old man with white hair and beard. Li Zhen said, "Mengyao, don't worry. After getting the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits, not only will your body recover, but your cultivation can also be improved."

"Thank you, brother." There was a flash of hatred in Li Mengyao's eyes. She gnashed her teeth and said, "Brother, no matter what, you have to help me kill Qin Haodong. It's all his fault that I ended up like this."

Li Zhen said with a grim look, "Don't worry. He dared to make an enemy of our Dragon Royal Family. I will tear him into pieces sooner or later."

The white-haired old man said, "The most important thing now is to get the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits. At that time, not only can we restore the second princess's lost vitality, but we can also help the first prince reach the early stage of the Grand Completion Realm."

At this point, Li Mengyao said worriedly, "Brother, I heard that there is an Earth Bear guarding the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits tree. Do we have a way to deal with this beast?"

"Don't worry. No matter how powerful that beast is, it is just an animal. How can it defeat us?" Li Zhen said, "Elder Wang and Elder Li Tianxiong are from the same sect, so Elder Wang is also proficient in Hidden Dragon Trapping Formation.

"He has already set up the formation in front of the cave. As long as we lure the Earth Bear out, we can trap it there. At that time, the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits will be ours."

As the second princess of the Dragon Kingdom, Li Mengyao had some knowledge about these things. She said, "But the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits are about to ripen. The Earth Bear has been guarding there all the time. How could it come out?"

Elder Wang's name was Wang Minghai. He smiled proudly and took out a long black incense stick. Then, he said, "Your Highness, this is the Beast Saliva Incense that I have carefully refined."

Qin Haodong looked at the incense in Wang Minghai's hand and found that it was completely different from the ordinary ones. Its surface was covered with dark blue lines that looked like the scales on the body of a fish.

"Elder Wang, what is the use of this Beast Saliva Incense?"

Wang Minghai said proudly, "This thing is made of the scales of five kinds of high-level spirit beasts. It has a special fragrance that is fatally attractive to the Earth Bear.

"And this incense has its own characteristics. After it is lit, it can move according to the will of the person lighting it, so its position can be changed accordingly."

Li Mengyao asked doubtfully, "Is this thing really that magical?"

Wang Minghai said, "Of course, Your Highness. You will see its effect soon."

Then, he said to Li Zhen, "Your Highness, when should we make our move?"

Li Zhen said, "You are an expert in this matter. When do you think is the right time?"

Wang Minghai said, "According to my experience, it's about the right time to take action now."

Li Mengyao said, "Isn't it too early now? There are still two more days before the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits ripen!"

"Your Highness, you don't understand," Wang Minghai said. "The Beast Saliva Incense is fatally attractive to the Earth Bear, but I am afraid that the Earth Bear will not be lured out when these Earthvein Spiritual Fruits ripen.

"Once a demonic beast reaches the eighth level, it will have a certain amount of intelligence. The Earth Bear will only come out now because it knows that others are unable to take away the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits at this moment.

"In a day or two, I am afraid that it won't come out even if a piece of dragon meat is placed at the entrance of the cave."

Li Zhen nodded. "You are right. Let's do as you say."

After that, the three of them went out of the tent together and went to the cave where the Earth Bear lived.

Qin Haodong followed them secretly. At this time, he had already felt the faint fluctuation of spiritual energy in front of the cave. It should be the Hidden Dragon Trapping Formation.

Wang Minghai and the others stopped at the edge of the Hidden Dragon Trapping Formation. Next, Wang Minghai flicked his alchemistic fire to light up the Beast Saliva Incense in his hand.

This incense was really strange. After it was lit, the fragrance floated straight into the sky and did not dissipate for a long time.

Then, under Wang Minghai's manipulation, the incense, like a snake, immediately drifted into the cave where the Earth Bear was.

Qin Haodong's Spirit was extremely powerful. He scanned the cave and saw a big bear the size of a hill squatting in the cave.

This giant brown bear was the Earth Bear that was an eighth-level demonic beast with powerful defense capability.

In front of it was a small pool, in the middle of which was a small green tree. There were five red fruits hanging on the tree, which looked particularly appealing. They were Earthvein Spiritual Fruits.

However, these Earthvein Spiritual Fruits had yet to turn completely red. Some parts of them were still green.

When they were completely ruddy, they would be fully ripe. At that time, they would be the real Earthvein Spiritual Fruits that could increase the bloodline power of people and beasts.

The Earth Bear lay silently by the pond, staring intently at these Earthvein Spiritual Fruits with unblinking eyes.

At this moment, the fragrance of the Beast Saliva Incense wafted in from the outside.

When the Earth Bear smelled the fragrance, it suddenly sat up, sniffed hard, and drooled instantly. It was obvious that this scent was extremely tempting to the Earth Bear.

It looked at the tree of Earthvein Spiritual Fruits in the pool and sniffed the fragrance. A torn expression appeared on its face.

It wanted to find out the source of the fragrance but was reluctant to leave the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits tree in front of it.

It circled around the cave a few times and finally seemed to have made up its mind. It then padded over to the entrance of the cave.

This bear was huge and had amazing strength. Every step it took made the earth tremble and the mountains shake.

Li Zhen and others stood guard outside the cave. Feeling the tremor of the earth, they all looked pleased.

This meant that the Earth Bear had been tempted by the Beast Saliva Incense and was ready to come out of the cave.

As long as it entered the Hidden Dragon Trapping Formation, it would become a piece of meat on their chopping block and could be dealt with at will.

The people of the Dragon Kingdom hid behind a large boulder while Wang Minghai constantly emitted the fragrance of the Beast Saliva Incense.

At the same time, Li Zhen ordered the masters brought by him to hide, too.

A moment later, the large body of the Earth Bear appeared at the entrance of the cave. As it drooled, it looked across with its small black eyes.

Then it raised its huge feet and lumbered toward the Hidden Dragon Trapping Formation.

Excitement flashed across the faces of Wang Minghai and the others. Clearly, the demonic beast was about to fall into their trap.

But at this moment, the Earth Bear suddenly stopped. After glancing ahead sharply, it raised its huge foot and stamped hard on the ground.

Once a demonic beast reached the eighth level, it would already possess a certain amount of intelligence. Furthermore, the Earth Bear was different from the Flame Gold-eyed Beast. It belonged to the earth element and was more sensitive to ground energy.

Although Wang Minghai was skilled in setting up the Hidden Dragon Trapping Formation, he was still unable to conceal the energy fluctuations. Unfortunately, the Earth Bear discovered the energy fluctuations of the Hidden Dragon Trapping Formation.

After it stomped on the ground, the huge amount of energy quickly turned the soil over. All the formation boards and formation flags that had been buried underground were seen by this beast and then turned into powder.

"Shit, this beast actually knows how to locate the formation!"

Wang Minghai's face turned pale with fright. He didn't expect that after such lengthy preparations, his formation would actually be discovered by a mere stomp from this Earth Bear.

In truth, that was because he hadn't considered these things carefully. He should not have set up the formation underground because the Earth Bear belonged to the earth element and was more sensitive to ground energy. If he used a different method, he might have a better chance of success.

After that, a human-like smile appeared at the corners of the Earth Bear's mouth. Then, it strode towards a boulder.

Li Mengyao looked at Li Zhen and said nervously, "Brother, what should we do?"

"What are you afraid of? We brought so many masters with us. I don't believe we can't trap a bear."

Li Zhen's expression was calm. As the first prince of the Dragon Kingdom and the future heir to the throne, he did not panic too much.

"Elder Wang, hurry up and gather our men. No matter what, we must trap this Earth Bear outside the cave until we get the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits!"

They used considerable manpower to get these spiritual fruits. Wang Minghai was the Strong at the middle stage of the Grand Completion Realm, and together with two masters at the early stage of the Grand Completion Realm.

Although the three of them weren't strong enough to kill the Earth Bear, they were more than capable of keeping it outside the cave.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Wang Minghai answered.

Then, he let out a sharp whistle. The masters of the Dragon Royal Family hidden around pounced on the Earth Bear together.

He circled around the boulder and cut off the Earth Bear's escape route.

Qin Haodong saw this and smiled. This was his big chance.

He changed into another Invisibility Talisman and sneaked into the cave.
