The Night King: The Asura
Ch-296's chat. Guard the garden
Time passed by so quickly, the hard work done by Xie Long and Xiao Xue finally came to fruition, because now, they had managed to reach the top of the waterfall.
"Congratulations for reaching the top of this waterfall."
"Thank you, senior."
Huoshen smiled happily at the two of them, he did not expect that the two could complete the test in just three weeks, even though climbing the waterfall was very difficult.
"Alright, now come with me" Huoshen said, then took them to a place at the top of the waterfall.
Not too long later, the three of them finally reached the place in question, and upon arriving there, Xie Long and Xiao Xue were amazed by the magnificent palace that was at the top of such a high mountain.
In addition to the magnificent palace, both of them were also amazed by the beauty of the place, even they did not expect that at the top of the waterfall, there was a place so vast and beautiful.
Not only that, their admiration also increased when they saw the herb garden that adorned the foot of the mountain, and all the plants that were there were rare plants.
"Do you like my garden?"
"Of course, senior, your garden is amazing" replied Xie Long.
"This is all the result of my hard work, if I don't remember wrongly, I started it all about seven hundred years ago."
Huoshen then explained a few things about himself, including his reason for choosing to live on the island, and then he also explained about his friendship with the silver Phoenix.
From Huoshen's explanation, Xie Long was able to tell if the island was not in the stomach of the giant fish Beast before, but rather somewhere that was from the Blue Continent or other land.
In addition, the place will never be found, because without Huoshen's permission, no one can set foot there, even the Gods.
"Then, what about the Beast?"
"You mean that fish? He and I have nothing to do with it, and we can say that we are enemies" Huoshen replied.
"That means..."
"It wasn't me who brought you here, but it was this island that wanted your presence" Huoshen said who could guess what Xie Long wanted to say.
Xie Long and Xiao Xue frowned, the two of them were completely confused and did not understand the slightest meaning of Huoshen's words.
"Sorry senior, but we don't understand."
Huoshen smiled, "intentionally, this meeting of ours has been set by fate."
Although still curious about the mystery stored on the island, but both prefer not to bring it up further, because they do not want to offend Huoshen.
"Alright, I'll explain about your second exam."
"Sorry, senior. But only master will take the exam, because I don't deserve to take the exam from seniors" Xiao Xue said.
"If you don't deserve it, you'll never be able to set foot on this island."
After that, Huoshen explained about the test they were going to undergo, which was to guard the herb garden until Huoshen woke up from his sleep.
Although it sounded very simple, but Jia Zhen realized that there was something strange about the second exam, because there was no way the two of them were only assigned to guard the garden.
"Alright, then excuse me" Huoshen said, then left the place.
However, before completely moving away, Huoshen turned to the two, "remember, lest my garden be damaged, otherwise you two will bear all the consequences."
"Good, senior!"

As time rolled back, the bright shining sunlight had disappeared, replaced by a dark sky decorated by the moon and millions of starlight.
And until now, Xie Long and Xiao Xue were still faithfully guarding Huoshen's herb garden, even though there was no danger, but the task was still well carried out.
"Master, you better get some rest, let me take care of this garden."
Xie Long shook his head softly, "this is a test and we should finish it together."
"Xiao Xue, I'm fine."
"Groayarr!"
From a distance, there was a very loud roar, at the same time, their bodies were both overwritten by a considerable pressure of intimidation.
"Prepare, it seems like a very big problem is heading here."
Not long after, from the depths of the forest appeared a monster whose entire body was made of stone, then was overtaken by dozens of Beasts with powers that could not be underestimated.
"They are many!"
"Who cares about their numbers!" xie Long said.
At the same time, a magic circle appeared above their heads, then from within the magic circle emanated a light that instantly enveloped the bodies of the two of them.
"It's..."
Xie Long smiled happily, "thank you, senior" he muttered.
The light that enveloped their bodies managed to restore its power, but it only restored the spiritual energy within them, and even then it was only as much as 10 percent.
"Xiao Xue, let's finish them all!"
"Good, master!"
After that, the two darted towards the Beast horde and immediately launched an attack, but unfortunately, their attack was instead held back by the enormous stone monster.
"Xiao Xue, block the Beasts that are approaching the garden.
"Good, master!"
Having been able to use his strength, Xie Long then took out a sword from his storage ring, then channeled his spiritual energy into the sword.
"Seven slashes of death!"
Seven sword energies shot out at high speed towards the Beasts, although there were a few that were successfully held back by the stone monsters, but there were still some that managed to hit the Beasts.
"Groayarr!"
The stone monster roared back very loudly, he seemed to be furious that Xie Long had injured the Beasts that came with him.
Then, the stone monster stuck its hand on the ground, and instantly, pointy rocks appeared right under Xie Long's feet, but it was still able to avoid.
After that, the new monster withdrew his hand, but in both hands was already a huge chunk of stone, then he threw the stone in his hand towards Xie Long.
At the same time, Xiao Xue also launched an attack using black lightning, and the attack successfully hit the stone.
Dhuayar!
An extremely violent explosion occurred in the air, the two large chunks of rock that led to Xie Long, were successfully crushed by Xiao Xue's attack thus turning her into dust.
Xie Long made use of the dust blocking that view to get close to the Beast army, after successfully approaching them, he started his action by slaughtering them one by one.
Xiao Xue also did not want to miss, but before that, she created a protective formation first, so that the brand battle would not have any impact on Huoshen's garden.
Although it can only use its strength as much as ten percent, but thanks to good cooperation, both of them managed to defeat the attacking Beast army.
In addition, they also managed to defeat the stone monsters that led the Beasts, so the remaining Beasts preferred to escape the fight.
"Hah" Xie Long let out a long sigh, "the fight earlier was really exhausting."
"Hopefully no one else will come to attack, because I have run out of strength" Xiao Xue said.
"You're right! And if only we could use our full strength, we would have managed to defeat them easily."
