Teams like Du Feng's, which consisted of only four people, were all hanging on the rock wall and trying to move down. The teams of more than a dozen or more people were still waiting at the edge of the cliff. They were obviously prepared and were not in a hurry to enter the ancient ruins. To put it bluntly, these people knew that the Tianhu Ancient Ruins would not be opened if there were less than 108 people.
If Du Feng were still up there, he would definitely find this interesting thing. The number of people in these small teams added up to more than 200 people. In other words, they intended to leave more than 100 people to be responsible for the safety of the upper and lower parts of the ruins. The other 108 people were the real explorers who were going to enter the Tianhu Ancient Ruins.
From the moment the enemy attacked Tang Jiaojiao, Du Feng suspected that there was something wrong with the Armed Police Pavilion's pavilion master's arrangement of this expedition. If it was an open mission from the Seven Basaltic Mansions, why did only four people come? Other forces could arrange for so many people to come in, but it was unreasonable for a large force like the Seven Basaltic Mansions to only send four people in. The only explanation was that the Martial Arts Pavilion's pavilion master had secretly carried out this operation behind the Mansion Master's back. The reward points were probably paid by the Mansion Master himself.
What treasure did the Martial Arts Pavilion's pavilion master send Tang Jiaojiao to retrieve that the Mansion Master didn't know? Thinking of this, Du Feng's mind immediately became active. According to this line of thought, since the Martial Arts Pavilion's pavilion master was doing this behind the Mansion Master's back. Even if Tang Jiaojiao died, he could only use the forces in his hands to retaliate against the enemy. He could not use the power of the Seven Basaltic Mansions to do this.
The reason why Liu Qing dared to assassinate Tang Jiaojiao was because he knew this secret. The benefits of killing Tang Jiaojiao were probably far greater than the points obtained by successfully escorting her. Of course, even so, Du Feng would not kill Tang Jiaojiao in exchange for benefits. First, he would not do that kind of thing. Second, he did not know who to ask for benefits from killing Tang Jiaojiao.
After all, Du Feng still had to stay in the Seven Basaltic Mansions for a period of time in the future. He also had to arrange for Murong Mansha, Du Yu 'er, and Du Xue to enter the Martial House to cultivate. Therefore, it was better to protect this lady.
"Brother Du, someone's coming."
Xiao Hei, who was sleeping on the ground, moved his ears and reminded Du Feng.
"Okay, got it. It's three people."
Du Feng focused his gaze and saw that there were indeed three people who were about to reach the bottom of the lake. They probably used to be a four-man team, but one of them died. Du Feng had not seen this team during his descent, which meant that they had taken a different route.
"Brother, look, someone came earlier than us."
The three people who had just come down were a group of two men and one woman. The only girl in the group stared at Du Feng and Tang Jiaojiao with her big, watery eyes as if she was looking at a monster. This was because their beasts were not ordinary. One was a Long Armed Ape, one was a Bloodthirsty Gecko, and the last one was a Boston Ivy.
Du Feng was very clear about the Long Armed Ape's climbing ability, because Du Tulong had devoured a Long Armed Ape beast before. As for the Bloodthirsty Gecko, it was obvious that its climbing ability was stronger than the Long Armed Ape. The most interesting thing was that one of them was a plant-type beast, which was similar to the Liu Clan's Big Willow Tree beast. A beast's climbing ability was strong, and its owner would definitely be affected. Therefore, it was not strange that these three people could reach the bottom of the lake quickly.
Du Feng did not find it strange, but others did. The three of them were already very powerful, but they did not expect that someone would arrive earlier than them. Moreover, it seemed that Du Feng and Tang Jiaojiao had been at the bottom of the lake for a while. Their spiritual pet that looked like a cat, Xiao Hei, had already fallen asleep.
"Let's get to know each other, I'm Tong Da Zhuang!"
The person who was called Big Brother took the initiative to greet Du Feng. His beast was a Long Armed Ape called Tong Da Zhuang, and it looked really strong. It was about two meters tall, its head was sharp at the top and wide at the bottom, and its neck was especially thick. Combined with his developed trapezius muscles, it looked like he did not have a neck. When he spoke, his voice was low and muffled, and it even had an echo feeling.
"This is my second brother, Qin Xingkong, and my third sister, Helian Biyu."
Du Feng understood immediately. These three people were sworn siblings with different surnames. No wonder their beasts were different. But the interesting thing was that all three of them were good at climbing. The person called Qin Xingkong had a gloomy face and did not like to talk much. He was more depressed. On the other hand, my third sister, Helian Biyu, took the initiative to come over.
"How did you guys do it, so fast."
Helian Biyu was very curious how Du Feng and Tang Jiaojiao reached the bottom of the lake so quickly, because the three of them were already very fast. Moreover, the place where they teleported was not far from the lake. She could not imagine how other people could be faster.
"Hello, I am Du Feng, this is my sister, Du Jiao."
Du Feng said his real name, but made up a fake name for Tang Jiaojiao. After all, her identity was special, it was better not to reveal her real identity. It was a pity that the storage ring could not be opened yet, otherwise he could make a fake face for her and put it on his belt.
He did not answer Helian Biyu's question, but looked at her. Because the surname Helian was very special, Du Feng had only met two people with this surname. One was Helian Biyu, and the other was Helian Akagi, who was killed by him in the arena. If the other party was Helian Akagi's relative, then it might cause some trouble.
"Haha, do you think I am from the Helian Clan?"
"I am a loner, my parents died early, I was an orphan since young, then I met my big brother, Tong Da Zhuang … …"
Without waiting for Du Feng to ask, Helian Biyu began to introduce herself. Sure enough, she was a simple-minded silly girl, similar to Tong Da Zhuang. She had only met Du Feng for the first time, but she had already called out all her background. He just did not know how Qin Xingkong, such a gloomy person, became sworn brothers with these two people.
Fortunately, after understanding Helian Biyu's background, Du Feng was slightly relieved. After all, in such a strange place like the bottom of the lake, he did not want to fight with others because of some old history. Moreover, people who could reach the bottom of the lake so quickly, other than being good at climbing, would definitely not be too bad.
However, there was one thing that was out of Du Feng's expectation, Helian Biyu and the others really only came with three people, and there was no fourth person. In other words, the three of them descended quickly from the top to the bottom without any mistakes.
