The first three figures to arrive were Wu Ming, Yang Yi, and Feng Muren.
"We were just talking about them, and here they are," Tong Lie said with a bright smile.
"Now, everyone from Aoran College is here!" Xiao Mo also smiled. Only Blood Lion remained silent.
His cultivation was the highest among the group, but after the battle, his combat strength was less than half.
"It seems that I'm late." Wu Ming could roughly guess what had happened after observing the situation around him.
"You're not late at all. This time, we're fighting side by side again." Xiao Mo walked up and patted Wu Ming's shoulder.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
"The hunt for this year's beast tide is the same as the past, and the number of young geniuses that were sacrificed for it is not a small number. According to the news, the Yang Clan and Qin Clan have already lost their lives."
"Not only them, even the Flaming Moon Mercenary Group was not spared!" Tong Lie snorted.
Wu Ming was slightly shocked. "They're attacking Aoran College again!"
Wu Ming looked at Blood Lion. The signal just now was probably related to this.
"Everyone's here. Let's gather." Wu Ming said, "This time, the Dragon's Shadow has been dispatched. I'm afraid the person behind this won't be able to hide for another fifteen minutes."
"The Dragon's Shadow …" Xiao Mo murmured. Last time, they were a little late, which resulted in such a result. This time, they must have made up their mind.
"However, according to Commander Lin Moyao, we're not very confident." Wu Ming shook his head and sighed.
"We've found something," Xiao Mo glanced at Su Yun. "The person behind this should be the Quicksand Mercenaries!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at him. Previously, it was just a guess. Why was he so sure now?
"Oh? Do you have any evidence? "Wu Ming asked.
Xiao Mo turned to Su Yun. "The evidence is conclusive!"
Su Yun understood what he meant. He stepped forward and said, "Everyone saw with their own eyes that Boötis Xiii was caught nearby. This alone is not enough to determine the real murderer."
Everyone knew that he had more to say, so they didn't say anything.
"Before this, a member of the Sha Clan died in the hands of a spiritual beast. However, it was a sneak attack, and the deceased had retaliated. At the scene, we found a strand of hair from a stranger. "Su Yun continued," If I'm not mistaken, this strand of hair belonged to the attacker! "
"Mm, if the jade ornament found near the person who sacrificed our Flaming Moon Mercenary Group really belongs to the deceased of the Sha Family, then I'm afraid there are some twists and turns in the story," Tong Lie said.
"A dead person wouldn't kill. The biggest possibility is that both of them were killed by the same person!" Xiao Mo said.
"And now, Blood Lion Mercenary Group is in danger, and Boötis Xiii was found nearby …" Su Yun paused. "What's more, the aura of this strand of hair is completely compatible with Boötis Xiii!"
The last sentence was like a heavy bomb, causing everyone's mind to tremble.
"Phew …" Blood Lion let out a long breath. "If that's the case, the mastermind has always been Quicksand Mercenaries."
"Based on the current situation, all the suspicious points point to Quicksand. Then, they can't get away with it!" Tong Lie said.
"I'm afraid the next ten days won't be peaceful." Xiao Mo's expression was serious. "If there's a chance, let's work together to get rid of Quicksand!"
"Mm, I didn't expect it to really be them!" Wu Ming said in a low voice.
Su Yun listened to them for a long time, and he had a rough idea of what was going on.
During the Beast Tide hunt a few years ago, many people were sacrificed, including many from Aoran College. It was just that the person who did it was too secretive and didn't give himself away. But this time, he was caught red-handed.
"Let's let everyone rest for a while. Now that everyone is gathered together, if we continue to stay in this area, it'll be hard for us to get anything," Tong Lie said.
"You mean …" Xiao Mo paused, then continued, "Let's go deeper into Lin Yuan together!"
"Mm," Tong Lie nodded. "I think the Quicksand Mercenaries are no longer here."
"I'm afraid they're not that simple," Xiao Mo said. Since they dared to risk universal condemnation, they must have something up their sleeves.
Before Xiao Mo could finish his sentence, Tong Lie immediately added, "That's why we can't let Dragon Shadow bear all the pressure."
Blood Lion didn't say anything, and sat down cross-legged to heal his wounds.
Su Yun quietly observed. This force that had no choice but to gather was extremely powerful, but he didn't know how much of its power it could unleash in the face of a strong enemy.
He didn't know if Boötis Xiii was unlucky enough to be captured again, because Sha Tong didn't return. Naturally, the Sha family didn't return either, because this was Aoran College's territory, and it was difficult for them to blend in.
Following that, many people from Aoran College rushed over, and many of them were Su Yun's old acquaintances.
Shaochengtian and Su Yun looked at each other, then walked to the side. It seemed like they didn't intend to take action.
Qin Yue, Yue Yutong, and some other freshmen also arrived.
One day later, almost all the people from Aoran College who were participating in the hunt had gathered here. There were more than three hundred people!
"Let's go." Blood Lion stood on the treetop, and resumed his usual arrogant style.
Tong Lie and the others frowned slightly, but they were still afraid of Blood Lion's strength, so they didn't say anything.
This time, only Blood Lion was among the top ten on the Ling Fei Leaderboard, so he had the most authority. He didn't say anything yesterday because his strength wasn't even half of his peak, so he had no choice but to keep a low profile. But today, he had the style of a leader.
"Let's go!" Tong Lie waved his hand, and a few dozen people followed behind him.
Wu Ming and Xiao Mo also led their own people forward.
Su Yun mixed in with the Gale Mercenary Group, and his figure flashed across the treetop.
It was a spectacular sight to see over three hundred people marching forward. From a bird's eye view, it looked like five streams of water were pouring out.
Under the leadership of the leaders, many people acted as scouts. They spread out in three directions and reported what was going on around them. The deeper they went, the more careful they had to be.
The people from Aoran College took away the treasures and Reiki wherever they went, leaving only the carcasses of the spiritual beasts behind.
Su Yun's pockets were already full, so he wouldn't do anything unless he found something valuable.
Just like that, they walked for an entire day before stopping. This was because there was a Rank Six Spirit Beast in front of them!
"Tell them to be careful. Don't alarm it." Tong Lie told the messenger to leave.
"An Ironback Lizard. I don't think it's any weaker than an intermediate Spiritual Grandmaster," said Xiao Mo.
Tong Lie couldn't help but look at the Blood Lion a short distance away. The Blood Lion seemed to sense his gaze, and looked back with an inexplicable smile.
Tong Lie looked away. He didn't like the Blood Lion very much. "Hmph, no matter how strong it is, we have so many people on our side. Can't we take it down?"
"We can't act rashly. We need to think about it at length," said Wu Ming, who was more prudent.
"Yes, an Ironback Lizard is a tough nut to crack," said Xiao Mo.
"A sixth-rank Reiki is quite tempting as well," said Tong Lie.
Although the top twenty on the list couldn't take down an Ironback Lizard on their own, they still had a chance if they worked together.
"Unfortunately, there's only one Reiki." Blood Lion walked over slowly and emphasized the word "only."
Everyone knew what he meant.
"That guy is still jumping around, and we're already talking about who the Reiki belongs to?" Xiao Mo chuckled.
"How about this," said Wu Ming. "The Reiki goes to whoever deals the final blow to it. What do you think?"
"Sure!" they all said in unison.
Blood Lion smiled and didn't object.
"Let's go together, in case some scoundrels try to sneak up on us," said Wu Ming.
Xiao Mo nodded. "That's right. That's the Ironback Lizard's territory and there aren't many other spiritual beasts around. We can set up camp here after we kill it."
"Let's go!" Blood Lion led the way.
Seeing this, the few of them felt somewhat displeased. That guy was always like that. Even the Blood Lion Clan he founded was arrogant and despotic.
"It's up ahead," said someone in the distance, pointing ahead.
They were at the foot of a mountain, surrounded by a dense forest. It was very quiet.
"Boom, boom …" There were muffled sounds in the distance, which made them feel heavy.
"I think it's noticed us." Tong Lie's face turned solemn.
"It's as smart as a 12-year-old as a mid-stage Spiritual Grandmaster. It's going to be hard to deal with." Xiao Mo said. Actually, he was more worried that the Ironback Lizard would run away. If that happened, all their efforts would be for naught.
Blood Lion stopped a little ahead. Although he was the most capable person in the group, he didn't want to be the one to stick his neck out.
If there was trouble, they would all fight together. The best way to deal with it was to take the Reiki.
There was a slight tremor on the ground and the muffled sounds grew louder.
A large tree fell, followed by the appearance of a short figure.
The Ironback Lizard was 18 feet long. It had four short legs with sharp claws, a long mouth with fangs, and thick skin. It didn't look easy to deal with.
Its ferocious aura scared some of the people behind it. If it weren't for the fact that they had the advantage in numbers, they would have already turned around and fled.
It was Su Yun's first time seeing a sixth-rank spiritual beast and he was excited. However, even Wu Ming and the others didn't feel confident in a battle of this level, let alone him.
Therefore, he could only watch from the sidelines. He could occasionally attack from afar, but that would only be scratching the lizard's itch.
"Huh?" Su Yun frowned, because the Heavenseizing Sword behind him was excited again. It vibrated slightly and Su Yun could feel its pulse.
This time, Su Yun tried his best to calm it down, because the Heavenseizing Sword was only a sixth-rank spiritual weapon. It had no chance of winning against the Ironback Lizard.
"A sixth-rank Reiki." Su Yun was tempted as well, but safety was his priority.
