Earth Barbed Beast
At this moment, Mu Lan, Li Fan and Liu Hong were also gradually unable to hold on.
The Earth Barbed Beast's strength was too terrifying. Relying on the three of them, it was impossible to kill it.
Hearing the conversation between Luo Zheng and Sun Yong, Li Fan and Liu Hong understood Sun Yong's thoughts.
They scolded loudly, "Sun Yong, you bastard. We've taken care of you in vain. Now that we're fighting in the front, you're hiding behind us. Are you still a brother?"
"Damn, it's all because of this kid. Otherwise, why would Li Fan and Liu Hong scold me?"
Sun Yong was scolded, and his hatred for Luo Zheng grew. He said loudly, "Brother Li, don't listen to Luo Zheng's instigation. He can't do anything and is afraid that you'll blame him, so he directed the spearhead to me. This Barbed Beast is constantly moving. Although I've tried my best, it's still difficult to hit its head."
Saying this, Sun Yong continued to do things his own way. He didn't put in any effort while looking around. He planned to wait for the three people in front to be unable to stop the Barbed Beast before escaping.
Seeing Sun Yong like this, Li Fan and Liu Hong were so angry that they scolded him, but there was nothing they could do.
At this moment, the three of them were using all their strength, but they could only barely withstand the beast's attacks. There were a few times when they were in imminent danger and were almost injured, not to mention killing this Barbed Beast.
Chi!
Mu Lan took advantage of this opening and leaped into the air. Sword Qi shot out and pierced towards the eyes of the Barbed Armor Beast. However, this sword was dodged and only left a bloody mark on the beast's face.
Whoosh!
At the same time, a tail covered with iron spikes swept towards her. The sound of wind breaking was as sharp as a knife.
Mu Lan was in mid-air and couldn't dodge at all. This sudden sweep was already a situation where she had a slim chance of survival.
"Shit!"
"This beast actually has such high intelligence. It actually purposely revealed a flaw."
Li Fan and Liu Hong exclaimed. Mu Lan was the strongest among the five of them. If she died, the rest of them wouldn't be able to resist the Barbed Beast.
Seeing this, Sun Yong had already put away his crossbow and was planning to flee.
A sharp gust of wind swept across Mu Lan's face, blowing away her black veil.
In an instant, a flawless snow-white face was revealed. Unfortunately, this extremely beautiful face was currently filled with despair and unwillingness.
"Such a little beauty, it would be great to use her to warm my bed. It would be a pity if she died." Sun Yong stared at Mu Lan's beautiful face and thought to himself. He then turned to leave.
Bang!
However, at this moment, a bolt of lightning flashed and a thunderous boom was heard.
Mu Lan, who had already given up all hope, landed safely on the ground. However, the Earth Spiked Armor Beast let out a startled cry.
The tail, which was covered with iron spikes, had actually been blown off a few iron spikes.
"It's you!"
Everyone stared at Luo Zheng, who held the Thunderburst Bow in his hand, in disbelief.
Mu Lan looked at Luo Zheng with eyes that were filled with gratitude and the joy of surviving a calamity.
"Let's kill the spiked armor beast first."
Luo Zheng quickly said. He drew his Thunderburst Bow, and an arrow shot out, aiming for the Spiked Armor Beast's head.
This time, the spiked armor beast was prepared. It twisted its huge body and used its body to block the arrow. However, it was still struck by the power of the lightning and cried out in pain. It was a pity that its skin was thick and it was not injured.
"Quick, help Luo Zheng attract the attention of the spiked armor beast!"
Mu Lan calmed herself down and her figure flashed. Sword Qi swept out and attacked the spiked armor beast.
Li Fan and Liu Hong did not dare to be negligent.
"Damned thing, eat my Earth Splitting Blade!"
Li Fan leaped up and condensed True Qi on the long blade in his hand. Boom! Boom! Boom! A seven feet long blade Qi was ruthlessly slashed out. It had the power to split the heavens and split the earth.
"Asura Killing Fist!"
Liu Hong's figure was like lightning, constantly moving around the spiked armor beast. Both of his fists bombarded the spiked armor beast. Balls of True Qi fists ruthlessly smashed onto the spiked armor beast's body.
"Explode for me!"
The spiked armor beast was extremely powerful. Under the attacks of the four people, although it was not heavily injured, Luo Zheng took advantage of an opportunity and shot one of its eyeballs with an arrow.
This beast was probably scared out of its wits and did not dare to continue fighting. It bore the attacks of the four people and directly drilled into the ground to escape.
"What should we do? Will it sneak attack us underground? "
Seeing that the spiked armor beast had drilled into the ground and disappeared, Mu Lan and the other two looked at Luo Zheng worriedly.
"It's fine, I heard it leave and drilled deep into the ground."
Luo Zheng carefully listened to the movements underground. The reason why he was able to detect the Ground Spike Armor Beast's sneak attack was because of his extraordinary hearing and divine sense that he detected the fluctuations coming from underground.
"Hmph, bragging. You can even hear it underground. Do you think you are the god of the earth?"
Sun Yong saw that after everyone killed the beast, the other three people surrounded Luo Zheng. No one looked at him. He could not help but feel extremely jealous and interrupted.
Pa!
Originally, Li Fan had been suppressing his anger for the sake of their past friendship. Now that he heard Sun Yong mocking Luo Zheng in a strange manner, he could not help but become furious and gave him a fierce slap. "It's not your turn to interrupt now!"
Sun Yong was like a rolling top. He spun two rounds on the ground before stopping. He looked at Li Fan in disbelief.
"You, you actually hit me for this brat!" Sun Yong gritted his teeth.
The Li, Sun, and Liu families had been friends for several generations and supported each other. As for Li Fan, Sun Yong, and Liu Hong, as the most outstanding disciples of the three families, they had known each other since they were young.
Among the three, Sun Yong's cultivation was the weakest. He was also a year younger and had always been taken care of by Li Fan and Liu Hong. He did not expect that today, he would be slapped by Li Fan on the spot.
"Sun Yong, just now you knew that the two of us were in danger, but you refused to help. Instead, you were the first to want to escape. If not for Luo Zheng, Li Fan and I would have died under the beast's mouth. You know very well about this matter, so I don't want to say more. In short, on account of our past friendship, I don't want to fuss about it. You're on your own! "
Liu Hong also said coldly.
At this moment, the black veil on Mu Lan's face had disappeared. A snow-white, jade-like, beautiful face was completely exposed in the air. It was breathtaking.
With light steps, she slowly walked in front of Luo Zheng. She gracefully bowed to Luo Zheng and said, "Thank you for your timely help just now …"
"Miss Mu is too polite. Didn't you also save me before?"
Luo Zheng smiled indifferently and hurriedly reached out to hold her arm, not allowing her to bow.
Mu Lan was fifteen years old and was born in an ancient clan. She was also a famous genius girl in the clan and the daughter of an elder. Her status was noble. Although there were countless people pursuing her, this was the first time a man had touched her arm. Although there was a layer of clothes between them, it still caused her face to heat up and her cheeks to turn red.
Being supported by Luo Zheng, Mu Lan couldn't bow anymore. She smiled and said, "If I knew that you had a magic tool and saw that flame leopard chasing after you, I wouldn't have meddled in other people's business."
"Seeing that you were extraordinary, you pulled out your sword to help. You clearly have a chivalrous heart. How could you be meddling in other people's business? Moreover, I'm only at the Membrane Forging Realm. If Miss Mu didn't help, I'm afraid that I would have been injured. "
Luo Zheng said with a humble smile.
Seeing that he insisted on saying this, Mu Lan also understood that Luo Zheng was saving her face to avoid embarrassment. She couldn't help but feel grateful and no longer said anything.
Sun Yong stood to the side, feeling left out. His expression was even more unsightly.
Although Mu Lan had been traveling with the four of them before, her words and actions had always maintained a certain distance from the four of them. At this moment, however, she had clearly become closer to Luo Zheng. The admiration of a beauty was enough to make others jealous.
Following that, Luo Zheng's group of four rushed toward the eight-story stone pagoda. No one paid attention to Sun Yong.
"Dammit, if it wasn't for this Luo Zheng, how could it be like this! He only relied on a magic tool. If that magic tool was in my hands, I would be the one in the limelight. Who knows, I might even be able to obtain the heart of the Mu Clan's young miss. "
Sun Yong angrily thought. He could only hastily follow the four of them. Vicious beasts would occasionally appear in the stone forest. Moreover, they were all Vicious Beasts above the Blood Tempering Realm. He didn't dare to leave alone.
Although Li Fan and Liu Hong were somewhat disgusted with Sun Yong, they didn't chase him away.
The restrictions on the eight-story stone pagoda were much stronger than the restrictions on the six-story stone pagoda. Luo Zheng's group spent an entire day to break through the restrictions and open the pagoda door.
"This time, if it wasn't for Brother Luo, I'm afraid that we would all have died. The benefits of this pagoda should be redistributed."
Just as they were about to enter the stone pagoda, the usually taciturn Liu Hong spoke up.
"That's how it should be." Li Fan nodded.
Mu Lan was extremely grateful to Luo Zheng. She already had this idea in her heart, but she was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
"How about this, Brother Luo and Young Miss Mu will each take thirty percent. The two of us will take twenty percent." Liu Hong said.
Mu Lan didn't say anything. Naturally, she didn't have any objections.
"No, if it wasn't for you guys risking your lives to attract the Spiked Armor Beast, I definitely wouldn't have been able to injure it …" Luo Zheng shook his head. Obtaining the black metal token was already a huge advantage for him. Although the other three didn't know, he came from a poor family and had a simple heart. If others treated him with sincerity, he definitely wouldn't do anything selfish.
Moreover, if it wasn't for the other three, Luo Zheng would have met with a Marrow Transformation Realm Spiked Armor Beast.
"… This time, we worked together to drive away the Vicious Beast. Naturally, the benefits should be divided equally." Luo Zheng continued.
"Luo Zheng is right. Let's do as he says."
Among the few of them, Mu Lan's cultivation was the strongest and her identity was also the most special. Her contribution in driving away the Spiked Armor Beast was no less than Luo Zheng's. To her, the plan of dividing equally was somewhat disadvantageous. However, not only did she not object, she even expressed her agreement.
At this time, even Mu Lan didn't notice that when she inadvertently swept her gaze over Luo Zheng, there was an additional trace of admiration.
"I wonder which family this Luo Zheng comes from. The powerful Luo family, I don't seem to have heard of it before. Could it be that he's a disciple of a hidden ancient family, or is he deliberately hiding his name? He's younger than me by a year and has reached the peak of the Film Forging Realm. Although he's slightly inferior to the geniuses of other families, his potential is not small … he's a good husband. "
Looking at Luo Zheng's calm demeanor that was beyond his age, his handsome face that was as sharp as a knife, his tall and straight figure, and his deep eyes that were as bright as the stars, Mu Lan couldn't help but feel her face heat up.
Even with Mu Lan's background and experience, it was rare to see such a young man who was neither arrogant nor impatient, neither servile nor overbearing.
"Go away, Mu Lan! What are you thinking about? You're someone who has an engagement! "
Suddenly, Mu Lan's thoughts ran wild and she abruptly came to her senses. He's just my savior.
"Let's go in."
