Joining Hands
Among the major forces present, other than the Xie family, only the other two major sects had fifty dragon power experts. As for the rest, they only had forty dragon power experts.
An adult Yin Wind Mantis had forty-five dragon power and was extremely fast. In this kind of situation, it could at least cause trouble for a fifty-dragon power expert.
Thus, many people hesitated.
Xie Hai put away Xie Yang's corpse and returned to the Xie family's camp, saying, "We won't go in first, let's wait."
Wait for what?
Naturally, they would wait for the next expert to come out and see if there were any other dangers.
However, they were disappointed. They waited for more than ten minutes and did not see a second person come out.
It seemed that all of them died inside.
"Patriarch, what do we do now?" Someone in the Xie family team asked.
Xie Hai hesitated.
Should they go in or not?
If they went in, they might be wiped out.
If they did not go in, they would have died in vain. One had to know, in order to come to the third layer, several of them had died.
Of course, if they gave up on the Rainbow Fruit and returned to the first layer to collect treasures, it was not a bad choice.
However, eating a Rainbow Fruit that could allow one to break through to sixty dragon power was not a small temptation.
"Father, what do we do?"
Xie Yu looked at Xie Hai worriedly.
Xie Hai was still deep in thought. At this time, from the corner of his eye, he saw someone leading a team into the poisonous fog.
"It's that group of independent cultivators, the strongest is only forty-five dragon power. They're really courting death. If there's a crisis, this team will definitely fall apart. "Xie Yu's third uncle said coldly.
After this group of independent cultivators, the second group entered.
The Rainbow Fruit's power was indeed not small!
Then, the third group, and the fourth group!
The last group was very smart, using the first few groups as cannon fodder and entered behind them.
Soon, there were only three groups left.
Xie family, Flying Cloud Sect, and White Cloud Gate!
"Patriarch Xie, Gate Master Bai, what's your decision?" Flying Cloud Sect's Gate Master asked from afar.
"Why, Gate Master He, what's your opinion?" White Cloud Gate's Gate Master narrowed his eyes.
Flying Cloud Sect's Gate Master said with a smile, "How about this, the three of us temporarily join forces to break through this area. If we see a Rainbow Treasured Tree, we'll divide it equally, how about it?"
Equal distribution?
Hearing this, Xie Hai couldn't help but ask, "Sectmaster He, have you forgotten about the mysterious person who gave us the beast skin map?"
After being reminded like this, the Flying Cloud Sect's Sect Master's figure also trembled. He had forgotten about this.
The mysterious man in white had told them the location of the Precious Tree Sect's plantation. How could they not come in?
"I had people pay attention to that mysterious person. At that time, he also drilled into the ground very early, but I haven't seen him yet. Could it be that he has already entered?" The Flying Cloud Sect's Sect Master frowned.
"Or perhaps, they are still behind us, or even hiding somewhere so that we can take the lead and eliminate the Yin Wind Mantises inside?" the White Cloud Gate Sect Master added.
Xie Hai pondered for a moment and said, "That person's strength is unfathomable. For the time being, let's classify him as someone with fifty dragons of strength. If the three of us join forces, we should be able to make him somewhat wary."
"So, Patriarch Xie agrees to the alliance?" The Flying Cloud Sect's Sect Master asked.
Xie Hai shook his head. "If it's just to break through this level, joining forces isn't a problem. However, can you guarantee that there will be exactly three, six, or nine Rainbow Fruits? "
This question also stumped the Flying Cloud Sect's Sect Master.
The legendary Rainbow Treasured Tree was very miraculous. It would bear one Rainbow Fruit every ten years, but it couldn't bear fruit all the time.
What if there were a total of nineteen Rainbow Fruits? Who would the extra one go to?
What if there were sixteen, or twenty?
"How about this, we'll join forces first. If there are still fruits left after the three of us divide, we'll draw lots. It's only one or two anyways. If the Rainbow Treasured Tree has truly lived for a thousand years, there will be at least a few dozen fruits. It's absolutely enough to divide. "The White Cloud Gate Sect Master said.
"Alright." The Flying Cloud Sect Master nodded.
If there were thirty fruits, each of them would get ten. It was better to be peaceful.
"If that mysterious person appears, we'll see how things go." The White Cloud Gate Sect Master added.
The Flying Cloud Sect Master and Xie Hai both understood what he meant by seeing how things go.
Seeing how things went was to see the other party's strength.
If the mysterious person was weak, they would kill him. If he was stronger than them, they would divide the fruits among the four sides.
Of course, if the mysterious person was much stronger than them, they could only die, and then the mysterious person would monopolize the Rainbow Fruits.
After the three sides joined forces, they began to discuss the specific matters, such as how the three sides would stand and so on.
Because it was Xie Yang who brought the news, the Flying Cloud Sect and the White Cloud Gate let Xie Hai choose his position first.
The first team didn't go far, so Xie Hai chose to be at the front, the Flying Cloud Sect was at the back on the left, and the White Cloud Gate was at the back on the right. The three sides advanced in a triangle.
With these nine experts with 50 Dragon Power, it shouldn't be a problem.
These more than thirty people were surrounded by the nine experts in the center, and then entered the thick poisonous fog.
As soon as they entered, their vision was immediately limited. They could only see things within ten meters, so they could only rely on their strong perception.
Ye Xuan happened to be among them. The two sects thought that Ye Xuan was a member of the Xie family, and the Xie family had no time to care about him.
He mixed in with the three teams and followed Xie Yu closely. Although his vision was the same as others, he had the blood of the Beast King. He could feel that there were some creatures moving quickly a thousand meters away.
The three-party team walked a few hundred meters forward. These few hundred meters could be finished in less than half a second, but it took them three minutes to walk.
The nine experts were also on high alert. Although the Chilling Wind Mantis's realm was lower than theirs, this was not the land. If they were ambushed, even the experts with fifty dragons might die.
They didn't dare to disperse the poisonous fog, because the more they dispersed, the denser the poisonous fog would be. Now they could see things ten meters away. If they were courting death, they might not even be able to see things three meters away.
"Stop!"
Xie Hai, who was walking in the front, suddenly shouted, and everyone in the team stopped.
"Master Xie, what's the situation?" asked the master of the Flying Cloud Sect.
Xie Hai walked a few steps forward alone and responded, "Blood!"
The Xie family people followed and found that the vines in front of them were full of blood and some pieces of meat.
Obviously, these were left by the people who just walked in front of them.
