It was not that Xiao Chen wanted to discourage them. Without his secret help, this team would have struggled to survive in the periphery.
Now, Xiao Chen was so ambitious that he wanted to go to the inner area. That was a place that only people of Bai Lixi's level could go.
Wu Quan remained silent, not in a rush to answer. He looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Xiao Chen, what do you think? Can we go to the inner area?"
Xiao Chen sighed softly and said, "When I went out to scout, I did not see any Small Perfection half-step Martial Monarchs returning in defeat."
That was all Xiao Chen said. As for what to do, it would depend on Wu Quan and Ping Xingteng. Xiao Chen did not want to worry about this.
Xiao Chen's purpose in joining this team was to make use of the time they fought the Demons to observe the unique characteristics of the Demons.
Xiao Chen wanted to make full preparations for his future cultivation. He would have to leave sooner or later.
Wu Quan pulled Ping Xingteng to the side and started to discuss in whispers. Clearly, he was very cautious about whether to go to the inner area or not.
After fifteen minutes, the discussion was over. Wu Quan walked over to Xiao Chen and said, "I have decided. We will go to the periphery of the inner area and take a look. If we cannot make it, we will still make it in time to retreat."
"I know that the inner area is very dangerous. Xiao Chen, I will not force you this time. If you are not willing, we can escort you safely to the outpost islets first."
When Xiao Chen heard this, he smiled bitterly to himself. Since Wu Quan already said that, what else could he do?
After coming to this world, Xiao Chen had seen too much mutual deception and betrayal. There were not many people like Wu Quan, who were truly righteous.
To Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen relied on these people to obtain the information he wanted, and Xiao Chen helped them in secret. They did not owe each other anything.
Whether they lived or died, it did not have much to do with Xiao Chen. He could just wash his hands of this matter.
However, no matter what, the reason why these people were so confident was more or less related to Xiao Chen.
It was difficult for Xiao Chen to wash his hands of this matter and let them die. This was especially so since Wu Quan treated him very well.
After taking a deep breath, Xiao Chen smiled gently and said, "Very well, I agree to go to the periphery of the inner area and take a look. I will continue to help you gather information."
Wu Quan revealed a smile, and the others heaved a sigh of relief. In their opinion, although Xiao Chen was not strong, his Movement Technique was indeed amazing.
Without Xiao Chen in the team, they would definitely not be used to it.
Ping Xingteng laughed loudly and said, "I knew that I would not misjudge you. Although your intelligence and Saber Techniques are not that great, I really like your temper."
"When we have time in the future, I will teach you some Saber Techniques. is to do.
After Ping Xingteng spoke, he was about to pat Xiao Chen's shoulder out of habit. However, he seemed to recall something. At the last moment, he withdrew his hand at lightning speed.
After Ping Xingteng spoke, he was about to pat Xiao Chen's shoulder out of habit. However, he thought of something and withdrew his hand at the last moment.
Ping Xingteng smiled embarrassedly and said, "Let's go, let's go. Same rules. Xiao Chen, you lead the way."
Xiao Chen nodded to indicate that he understood. Under everyone's expectant gazes, he disappeared with a few flashes.
Xiao Chen nodded to indicate that he understood. Then, under everyone's expectant gazes, he disappeared with a few flashes.
Even from five thousand kilometers away, one could still vaguely see a humanoid silhouette made of resentment in the whirlpool, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.
There was an island below the whirlpool. That was the core of the third grade Battlefield.
The Bloody Bladesman, Sun Guangquan, was on that island, undergoing the final trial for his Martial Spirit. No one knew if he was dead or alive.
The area within eight to nine kilometers of the island was the inner area of the third grade Battlefield. The closer one got to the island, the greater the danger.
However, Wu Quan and the others only wanted to wander around the periphery of the inner area. For now, they had no intention of entering the inner area.
Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense turned into rings of light and recorded everything within three kilometers into his mind. Then, he easily avoided the Demons in the periphery and carefully made his way to the periphery of the inner area.
After a while, Xiao Chen stepped onto the boundary between the inner area and the periphery. The instant he stepped over, his Spiritual Sense picked up strong auras. "Bang! Bang!
Bang! "
All sorts of shouts resounded in his mind. It was the sound of other cultivators fighting intensely. Xiao Chen hesitated for a while before he sent out his Spiritual Sense.
All sorts of battle scenes entered his mind. Xiao Chen also gained a rough idea of the strength of these cultivators.
After a while, Xiao Chen withdrew his Spiritual Sense. He muttered, "It is as I expected. The cultivators in the inner area are at least Small Perfection half-step Martial Monarchs. Otherwise, they are all teams of peak Superior Grade Martial Kings."
In Wu Quan's team, only two people were peak Superior Grade Martial Kings. The rest were ordinary Superior Grade Martial Kings.
"This won't do. There are already five Superior Grade Winged Demons. Wu Quan cannot handle their defense, speed, and attacks. Ten Superior Grade Shadow Demons … this won't do either. Three Superior Grade Ghost Race cultivators … this will be even worse. They will be wiped out in one exchange."
After circling the periphery of the inner area, Xiao Chen searched for suitable prey. Then, he eliminated them one by one.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He discovered two lone high-ranked Blood Demons. These high-ranked Blood Demons were stronger than Wu Quan's and Ping Xingteng's.
If Xiao Chen used his advantage in numbers and paid a price, he should be able to take them down. He could make them suffer a little without paying too much of a price.
Given this, Xiao Chen just needed to understand his own strength and retreat in the face of difficulties.
After that, Xiao Chen circled the area again. He carefully scanned the area with his Spiritual Sense, checking for other strong cultivators.
This was to prevent unnecessary conflicts. The human heart of the Battlefield was always more sinister than the Demons.
"Fortunately, the nearest team is five kilometers away. After the battle, I should not have any interactions with this team."
After making up his mind, Xiao Chen no longer hesitated. He soared into the air and returned the way he came. After seven or eight minutes, he appeared before Wu Quan and the others.
Xiao Chen told Wu Quan and the others about what he saw in detail. Then, he waited for the other party's decision.
Wu Quan muttered, "We can deal with two high-ranked Blood Demons. The Demon Core of a high-ranked Blood Demon is worth less than ten times that of a middle-ranked Blood Demon. We can give it a try."
The other team members also felt that they could give it a try. None of them had any objections. Ping Xingteng's face was filled with excitement. He wished he could charge over immediately.
"Let's move quickly, then. If we are late and the others snatch it away, there will be nothing left," Ping Xingteng roared and immediately called Xiao Chen to lead the way.
Along the way, under Xiao Chen's lead, nothing unexpected happened.
The group traveled smoothly. They stopped behind a reef about a kilometer away from the two high-ranked Blood Demons.
In terms of appearance, there wasn't much of a difference between the Blood Devils and humans, apart from the fact that they were slightly fairer.
The two high-ranked Blood Demons looked around the scarlet sea, searching for humans they could deal with. Clearly, while the humans were hunting Demons, the Demons were hunting humans as well.
When the Blood Demons' gazes landed on the reef, everyone felt a strange chill. Their arms trembled slightly.
"What a fellow! A high-ranked Blood Demon is indeed much stronger than a middle-ranked Blood Demon. Just that gaze alone is enough to make one's heart go cold," someone in the team muttered.
Even the usually bold Ping Xingteng calmed down. He did not charge forward rashly.
After Wu Quan thought for a while, he said, "Xingteng, each of us will lead five people and separate the two Blood Demons. We will not give them a chance to work together and end the battle quickly."
Ping Xingteng nodded and said, "That is all we can do. You and I have to attack together."
After the two discussed who they wanted to bring, Wu Quan said to Xiao Chen, "You should stay the same as before. Just roam around and ensure that you do not get attacked."
"Fight!"
Ping Xingteng and Wu Quan soared into the air at the same time and attacked the two Blood Demons at lightning speed.
The moment the two moved, the high-ranked Blood Demons immediately felt their killing Qi. They laughed strangely and attacked Ping Xingteng at the same time.
A piercing red light appeared on their palms. One high-ranked Blood Demon blocked Ping Xingteng's saber light while the other sent a palm strike at Ping Xingteng's heart.
The two Blood Demons ignored the attack from Wu Quan's gigantic sword. It looked like they were determined to kill Ping Xingteng in an instant, even if they got injured.
"Damn it! Do you really think this great me is a pushover?!"
At the crucial moment of life and death, Ping Xingteng completely erupted. His saber light lit up again and knocked away the high-ranked Blood Demon blocking his saber.
"Bang!"
Wu Quan's gigantic sword immediately chopped the other Blood Demon's waist, leaving behind a bloody wound.
The sword Qi was like a pillar, pushing the Blood Demon back two steps. The attack aimed at Ping Xingteng's heart also shifted.
It only left five claw marks on Ping Xingteng's shoulder, saving Ping Xingteng's life.
The other team members behind Xiao Chen roared and quickly moved according to their original plan. The six people on each side split the two high-ranked Blood Demons.
Xiao Chen did not make a move. He sat on the reef and watched. The recovery ability of a high-ranked Blood Demon was not something a middle-ranked Blood Demon could compare to.
To them, it would only take them a few minutes to recover from such minor wounds.
Demons were born with an advantage over humans in terms of their physical bodies. Every kind of Demon had their own special characteristics that humans could not compare to.
They could endure it. High-ranked Blood Demons were not so easy to deal with. Xiao Chen shook his head slightly and stopped thinking about it.
The situation was as Xiao Chen expected. Although they successfully separated the two high-ranked Blood Demons, the battle was still very arduous.
The final result was easy to predict. It would definitely be a miserable victory. That way, Xiao Chen would have achieved his goal.
By relying on their strong recovery ability, the high-ranked Blood Demons did not fear the Blood Demons at all. The more they tired, the more wounds they suffered. Several people were caught off guard and sustained significant injuries.
"Bang!"
A Blood Demon opened a bloody hole in one of the team members' chests. This person flew towards Xiao Chen and sank into the scarlet sea.
Xiao Chen waved his hand and pulled this person out. Then, he immediately pressed on a few vital acupoints to prevent further bleeding. Then, he took out some Recuperation Medicine and quickly treated this person.
This person's face was pale, and his eyes were wide open. His horrified expression had yet to fade.
In that instant, this person had truly felt death approaching. It was like he had just passed by the gates of hell. That kind of horror could not be described with words.
