Zhang Yaojin seemed to have a well-thought-out plan. Zhou Xiaoling asked curiously, "What's your plan?"
Guo Shier said, "There are only two ways. One is to kill the Level Nine mutant fierce dog, which can be ruled out. The second is to distract it. Well, in that case, the Blood Soul Stone is in that big dog's territory."
Zhang Yaojin said with a wry smile, "You … I don't know who taught you. How can you know everything! Yes, I have a way to distract the big dog. You can take advantage of this time to dig in. "
Guo Shier said, "That's fine. You have to give us a few safer places to practice. In addition, if anyone has any opinions … If you don't agree, you can discuss it first. "
Zhou Xiaoling said first, "I have no opinion. So far, I haven't found a Blood Soul Stone."
Falconer had no opinion as long as Guo Shier made a decision. Of course, the others wouldn't have any opinion, nor could they. If they didn't agree, it meant that they would be separated from the team, which was unacceptable to them. Moreover, if they could successfully find one or two Blood Soul Stones, they could exchange them for a lot of things when they went back, which made them very tempted.
Guo Shier simply said, "Deal!"
Zhang Yaojin stared at Guo Shier. After a while, he said, "Deal!" After thinking for a while, he said, "I didn't want to say it at first, but I still want to remind you. Since it's a deal, we must do it! If anyone is behind this, I will kill him at all costs, no matter where he runs! "
Guo Shier couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay!"
Zhou Xiaoling was not convinced and said, "What if you are behind this?"
Zhang Yaojin said flatly, "I won't!"
Guo Shier said, "Is it because of this that you killed seven disciples who were practicing?"
Zhang Yaojin showed a hateful expression and said, "Yes! Hehe … A bunch of bastards betrayed me? Kaka, weren't they all killed by your father?! "
Guo Shier said, "They deserve to die!"
Falconer also said, "Damn it!" He had been tricked before, so he hated this kind of thing very much.
These two words warmed Zhang Yaojin's heart. He said, "Well, follow me. We can't stay here for a long time." He quietly disappeared into the thick fog. Zhou Xiaoling shouted, "Keep up, don't get separated!"
The group hurried to keep up. It didn't take long before they figured it out. As Zhang Yaojin led the way, his movements were erratic and unpredictable. There was no way to track his movements at all. He would suddenly turn left, then right, and even retreat. Zhou Xiaoling, Guo Shi 'er, and the others followed him all the way. They were very surprised. This man was very good at avoiding danger. No wonder the Chief Inspector couldn't catch him even in the shuttle car.
After walking for about two hours, Zhang Yaojin stopped and said, "You can rest for ten minutes here."
They didn't meet any mutated rune beasts or people along the way. Zhang Yaojin was indeed someone who had lived in the black fog area for many years. It was obvious that he was very familiar with the terrain.
The group gradually went deep into the center of the black fog area. This was the most dangerous place, and they could be wiped out if they were careless. They walked very slowly. The fog was so thick that they couldn't see anyone beyond five meters.
After seventeen days of trekking, Zhang Yaojin finally said in a very low voice, "We still have one day before we reach the destination. This place is relatively safe, so let's take a rest here."
Guo Shier found that he couldn't see the surroundings at all. He could only see a few meters of land under his feet. Everything else was shrouded in the black fog. He knew that practicing here would be very effective, but it was too dangerous.
They spread thick animal skin mats on the ground, gathered together, and quietly ate cooked meat and dry food. They were very tired after such a long period of high mental tension.
No one dared to speak, and everyone was silent. After eating the dry food, they huddled together and took turns to sleep. Zhou Xiaoling was next to Guo Shier, and Lan Hu was next to Zhou Xiaoling. The three of them huddled together. They were all children anyway, so no one thought it was strange.
Falconer silently guarded them. He was the one who had the hardest time in the group.
Zhang Yaojin sat alone outside the circle, lost in thought.
Only Falconer and Zhang Yaojin didn't sleep. Both of them were very awake. The difference was that Falconer was on guard, while Zhang Yaojin was in a daze. When Hawk Demon heard Zhang Yaojin let out a low sigh, his heart moved slightly. He came to Zhang Yaojin's side and slowly sat down. He asked in a very low voice, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Yaojin looked at Falconer in surprise. He shook his head and said, "Nothing …"
Falconer said, "I heard your sigh … What's wrong?" In fact, Falconer didn't care about his fate. He was only curious as to why a Professionist from a high-rank continent would be so troubled.
Zhang Yaojin smiled bitterly. After a while, he said, "I don't know if I can escape this time …"
Falconer said, "You are already a Sacred Master. You can join any sect. As long as you can leave, what are you afraid of?"
Zhang Yaojin rubbed his face and sighed, "I have to wait until Shier leaves before I can leave. This period of time will be very difficult."
Falconer said, "As long as you don't get found out, no one here will tell on you." Only he, Guo Shier, and Zhou Xiaoling had the patrol chief's communication talisman. As long as the three of them didn't send the talisman, the patrol chief wouldn't know where Zhang Yaojin was.
Zhang Yaojin silently nodded and continued to be in a daze. Falconer said in a low voice, "Don't think too much." He got up and walked over to Guo Shier's side. Looking at the soundly asleep little guy, his strong heart suddenly became a lot gentler. This little guy not only changed his fate, but also brought him too many pleasant surprises and too many harvests.
Everyone slept for four or five hours. Guo Shier suddenly woke up. He looked at the thick fog around him in a daze and shook his head with all his strength. Only then did he completely wake up. He looked at Falconer and said, "Uncle Falconer, you should sleep for a while." He knew that if he didn't wake up, Falconer wouldn't rest.
Falconer didn't say anything and fell asleep. After a while, light snoring sounds could be heard. He was already very tired.
Zhang Yaojin glanced at everyone, then crossed his arms and closed his eyes to sleep. His sleeping posture was rather strange. One leg was squatting while the other was kneeling on the ground. Both his arms were crossed and his body was slightly leaning forward. After thinking about it carefully, this was the preparation for the start of a race. He actually fell asleep while maintaining this posture.
Guo Shier continued to cultivate. The others weren't idle either. In the center of the black fog area, these people had a great harvest. Every one of them was facing another advancement. As long as they continued to stay here, advancing to the Mad Master level would be a very easy thing.
Guo Shier had already advanced to the Intermediate Mad Master level and was now working hard to advance to the Advanced Mad Master level. He worked hard to absorb soul strands. In fact, what he absorbed here should be called soul fog. He didn't need to absorb it. As long as he cultivated the incantation, the soul fog would quickly enter his body.
This time, the rest time was relatively long, close to seven hours. Zhang Yaojin slept for about two hours before he woke up. He ate a little. Although he seemed very arrogant when he first met Guo Shier and the others, after interacting with him, they knew that he was actually a very quiet person.
Those who had seen Zhang Yaojin sleep, if they could understand the meaning of his sleeping posture, they would know that this guy had suffered countless hardships.
Sun Miner spoke softly to Yang Qi, "Fatty Yang, this time you found a blood soul stone. Even if it's just one, you'll be rich. What do you plan to do with it? Sell it … or give it to the sect to exchange for points? "
Yang Qi's face turned red. He wanted to speak, but his mouth was sealed with a talisman. This was specially sealed by Zhang Yaojin. He didn't restrict him from eating or drinking, but he couldn't speak. This guy was born with a loud voice. He couldn't control the volume of his speech. He could only gesticulate randomly with his hands.
Sun Miner didn't understand, so she guessed blindly, "What? Give it to the sect? Oh, I mean … sell it? No … you mean stay? Hmm, good, stay … hehe, I also plan to stay … "He muttered to himself. Guo Shier almost laughed out loud. He understood that Sun Miner was just trying to relieve her nervousness. She didn't care what Yang Qi wanted to express.
After a while, Yang Qi reacted. He was so angry that he turned over and lay on the animal skin mat. He closed his eyes and dozed off. He was a big fatty and loved to sleep. He obviously didn't sleep enough just now.
Zhang Yaojin came in front of Guo Shier and beckoned Zhou Xiaoling over. He knew that everything in the team was decided by these two, even though they were both children. He said, "Let's discuss it. We'll be there soon. I won't talk about how powerful a level nine mutated ferocious dog is. What I want to talk about is … how we can get the blood soul stones in its territory."
Guo Shier and Zhou Xiaoling looked at him without saying anything. Zhang Yaojin smiled bitterly, "I will lure that ferocious dog away for about twenty minutes to half an hour. You can go in for at most fifteen minutes … then you must retreat. Otherwise, if something happens … it's not on me."
Guo Shier was silent for a moment. He asked, "How can you escape?"
Zhang Yaojin was stunned. He didn't expect Guo Shier to care about his life and death. He couldn't help but feel touched. He said softly, "I have my own way to escape … I'll give you only fifteen minutes. How many blood soul stones you can get depends on your luck. Remember, you can't exceed fifteen minutes. If something happens, don't blame me."
Guo Shier said, "You don't have to worry about this. We'll explain it clearly."
Zhang Yaojin nodded and said, "That's good. This is my chance and yours. I hope everyone can seize it."
Zhou Xiaoling smiled bitterly, "Can we find a blood soul stone in fifteen minutes?"
Zhang Yaojin said, "I don't know about the underground … but there are blood soul stones on the ground in the ferocious dog's territory! It's just that no one dares to go and pick them up! "
Guo Shier said in surprise, "There's one on the ground? Won't those inspectors go and pick it up? Not only can they drive away level nine mutated rune beasts, but they can also kill them. Won't the blood soul stones on the ground belong to them? "
Zhang Yaojin said, "They also have restrictions. They are not allowed to take away the things inside, especially the blood soul stones."
Guo Shier said, "I really don't understand these rules."
Zhou Xiaoling said, "I've heard of this rule. If the inspectors join in the search for blood soul stones, we disciples who come here to train won't get anything. This must be controlled."
Guo Shier said, "Let's get ready to move. Everyone, gather." He beckoned everyone over and carefully explained Zhang Yaojin's requirements. Finally, he said, "Fifteen minutes. Even if we can't find a blood soul stone, we must retreat immediately! Absolutely no delay! If someone … refuses to leave, we won't rescue them. That will kill everyone in the team! "
Everyone agreed in a low voice.
