"But don't worry, you saved me once. I'll remember it and save you again."
The Qingluan Flower hurriedly explained.
"Whatever."
Ling Xiao still said calmly, "But don't get distracted. It'll be more dangerous as we move forward. You have to be vigilant."
The Qingluan Flower felt her face burning.
She had gone to Ling Xiao before and told him that everything was up to her. She told him that Ling Xiao and the other three would follow behind her.
But the current situation made her feel a little embarrassed.
The one being protected was not Ling Xiao, but her.
She had become a burden.
"I'll lead the way. There will be powerful beasts ahead. You're no match for them!"
Thinking of this, the Qingluan Flower rushed to the front and said.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Ling Xiao did not refute.
He knew that if he did not make this Qingluan Flower suffer, this girl would not learn to cooperate with others.
Since the Qingluan Flower wanted to lead the team, he would let her lead the team.
Anyway, he would be following behind. If they encountered a life-threatening situation, it would not be too late for him to intervene.
The Qingluan Flower thought that Ling Xiao would ridicule her and then argue. She did not expect Ling Xiao to agree so easily.
This made her feel even more embarrassed.
She shook her head hard to get rid of her wild thoughts. She vigilantly released her soul power and lowered her speed to move forward.
She could not have a soul power as terrifying as Ling Xiao's.
Even if her cultivation was stronger than Ling Xiao's, it was still impossible.
Not to mention that her strength might not be comparable to Ling Xiao's.
Another half an hour passed.
"Junior Brother, why did you let that woman lead the way? She's as slow as an old lady. And she almost got caught in a pile of Rotten Corpse Thorns."
Tai Renfeng was a straightforward person. Compared to the half an hour that Ling Xiao led the way, this half an hour felt like a year.
Not only was their speed much slower, but they also often encountered danger.
Although he managed to dodge it every time, his little heart couldn't take it anymore.
"That's right, Boss. It's better if you lead the way. Who knows, we might be able to reach Heavenly Devil Peak without having to fight."
Lin Yang couldn't hold it in anymore and chimed in.
"Qingluan flower, can't you feel it yourself? In terms of scouting, you are no match for Ling Xiao. In order to pass the test as soon as possible, you should switch back. At most, you will be the one to fight. "
Cheng Feiying was even more direct.
Qingluan Hua's pretty face turned red. She couldn't get out of this embarrassing situation.
However, there was one good thing about her. Once she knew she was wrong, she would change.
"You do it."
The Qingluan Flower frowned. Although she was very reluctant, she still stopped and gave the arrowhead position to Ling Xiao.
"Wait!"
Ling Xiao suddenly shouted.
"What happened?"
The others were somewhat puzzled. Qingluan Flower thought that Ling Xiao was going to make a dig at her, so her expression didn't look too good.
However, Ling Xiao didn't even look at her. Instead, he closed his eyes and said, "Someone is coming. There are a total of five people. They just happen to be a team. They are coming from the side and are very fast.
Set up the formation! "
When he said set up the formation, Hou Renfeng, Lin Yang, and Cheng Feiying immediately stood in their positions.
Including Ling Xiao, a faint glow appeared under the feet of the four of them. There were also faint inscriptions flickering on them.
Only Qingluan Flower was stunned. Earlier on the way here, when Ling Xiao talked about the battle formation, she didn't listen carefully at all. How would she know where to stand?
Moreover, she was still puzzled. How did Ling Xiao know that the enemy was coming?
She didn't even sense it herself.
Just as she was about to ask, her expression suddenly froze.
Because the enemy was closer, their aura became more obvious. She finally noticed it.
"Strange. Could it be that they have some special ability to lock onto our position? Why did they rush over without hesitation? "
Ling Xiao was puzzled.
The fog was so big that even with his soul power, he could only release it to a radius of 500 meters.
Could it be that one of the five people had a stronger soul power than him?
Or did they have some other ability?
Or was there something fishy?
He looked at the Soul Locking Token hanging around his neck and frowned. He quickly probed with his soul power.
"Damn!"
After checking, Ling Xiao cursed out loud, "There's actually an unknown, powerful consciousness in this Soul Locking Token. It feels like it belongs to some expert from the Sand Race.
It's too similar to the Sand Sea and Sand Sculpture. "
"You deal with the Soul Locking Token first. I will deal with the enemy!"
At this moment, Qingluan Flower had regained her composure. She saw the five enemies rushing over. They were the five experts from the Scarlet Fairy Mountain. One of them was the guy at the late stage of the first transformation second level of hell.
When they came here, they didn't talk nonsense and directly attacked.
Maybe they wanted to gain the upper hand by attacking first. They thought that Ling Xiao and the rest hadn't discovered them.
Actually, she didn't need to say anything. The five people didn't even look at Ling Xiao and the rest. Instead, they rushed toward her.
Qingluan Flower was shocked.
She instantly guessed their intention.
She was the strongest in this team and the most difficult to deal with.
If she was defeated instantly or killed on the spot, the rest of the four people could be dealt with more easily.
However, she could think of something but couldn't do anything.
She could only shake the long sword in her hand and face them.
Fortunately, she discovered them in time and could prepare her move more calmly.
If it wasn't for Ling Xiao's reminder, she would have been finished.
This time, she might not be able to pass the test and might even lose her life here.
After all, if they really wanted to kill her, she might not even be able to activate the Soul Locking Token.
"Heartless Wind and Snow Sword — Heartless!"
Qingluan Flower was grateful to Ling Xiao, but she didn't slow down.
A terrifying sword move was released in an instant and attacked the five people.
The five people were stunned when they saw Qingluan Flower charging toward them.
"Oh no, that woman is prepared!"
As soon as the exclamation sounded, one of them was in the middle.
The cold sword aura instantly attacked that person's body, and his Soul Locking Token fell to the ground.
The Soul Locking Token's design was very interesting.
As long as a martial artist's soul was seriously injured, it would automatically fall off.
And that person's body would also be teleported out of Demonic Mountain.
Seeing this scene, Ling Xiao knew that it was indeed not easy to kill people here.
However, it wasn't impossible.
As long as he could kill them with one blow, it would definitely be possible.
The five people from Scarlet Fairy Mountain were not mediocre.
But Qingluan Flower was stronger.
If Qingluan Flower was caught off guard and attacked by the five of them, they would naturally succeed.
But now, the situation was different.
With Ling Xiao's help, Qingluan Flower first discovered them and prepared her moves and tactics.
Therefore, she killed one of them as soon as she attacked.
At the same time, she also dodged the attacks of the other four people and was safe and sound.
"Captain, this is different from what we said. They seem to have been prepared. This woman is not easy to deal with."
One of them said with some fear.
"What are you afraid of? Except for Qingluan Flower, the five of them are all good-for-nothings. I'll hold off Qingluan Flower. You three, kill those four people, especially Ling Xiao. You must kill him on the spot!"
