Forming a Team
"Someone's coming!"
Duan Yingjun hurriedly stuffed the meat into his mouth and stood up vigilantly.
When he saw who it was, he heaved a sigh of relief.
There were a total of three people, one man and two women. They were none other than Duan Tianying and the others who came from the same family as Duan Yingjun.
"It's you guys."
Duan Tianying frowned slightly.
"Tianying, what a coincidence."
Duan Yingjun smiled.
Ning Qi realized that his eyes would occasionally glance at the woman who had never spoken.
Duan Tianying laughed coldly and was about to leave. However, after glancing at Ning Qi, he changed his mind and said indifferently, "Since you are also from the Divine Dragon Marquis Mansion, you can follow us for this period of time."
"Really?"
Duan Yingjun's face was filled with joy.
"Tianying, wouldn't bringing the two of them be a burden?"
Duan Lengmei said unhappily.
"It's fine, there is strength in numbers."
Duan Tianying smiled.
"They probably treat the two of us as cannon fodder …"
How could Ning Qi not guess Duan Tianying's thoughts? However, seeing that Duan Yingjun seemed to want to stay with them, he did not say anything to stop him.
"Come, come, Feifei, this is the 'Blazing Black Chicken' that I just roasted. It's very fragrant. Have a taste."
Duan Yingjun enthusiastically invited the three of them to sit down. After which, he gathered his courage and took a piece of roasted meat that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. He came to the goddess that he had a crush on and said with a fawning smile.
Duan Feifei nodded, took it and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome, you're welcome."
Duan Yingjun was extremely happy.
Duan Tianying coldly glanced at him and a trace of mockery flashed across his eyes.
"A toad wants to eat swan meat. Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror?"
He secretly mocked in his heart.
"What do you guys think about the next step?"
Seeing that the atmosphere seemed to be a little stiff, Duan Yingjun hurriedly found a topic.
"Right now, the people in the vast forest who have the highest chance of becoming outer disciples are the ten peak Dou Wangs. They come from various sects and clans. Although their talent is not as good as ours, they have received more training resources since they were young. Now, the ten of them are leading over a hundred Dou Wangs in various parts of the vast forest. They even said that as long as they follow them, all of them can be promoted to outer disciples! Laughable and arrogant. "
Duan Tianying said with a smirk.
"Doesn't that mean we won't have a chance?"
Duan Yingjun mumbled to himself.
"Hehe, the selection of outer sect disciples isn't just based on cultivation and battle prowess. The managing elders also look at your brains. As long as you can fight a good battle, you will be noticed by the managing elders. At that time, you will also be promoted to outer sect disciple."
Duan Lengmei cast a disdainful glance at Duan Yingjun and sneered.
"Oh, then if we uproot one of those ten people, we'll be able to advance steadily, right?"
Ning Qi smiled.
"Yeah!"
Duan Yingjun slapped his thigh. "If that's the case, the elders will definitely look up to us."
However, Duan Tianying and the other two looked at them as if they were looking at fools.
"Although I, Duan Tianying, have always thought highly of myself, it is unexpected that you, a peak Dou Ling from the White Tiger Empire, actually have the delusion of challenging a peak Dou Wang? Hehehe … "
Duan Tianying smiled and shook his head.
"Our target is those who have a similar cultivation as us. We will set up a trap and lure them in before killing them all in one go. If we can eliminate around a hundred people in one go, our chances of advancing will increase by around seventy to eighty percent."
Duan Lengmei said.
"Oh, does Lengmei have a plan?"
Duan Yingjun asked with a thick face.
"Humph."
Duan Lengmei glanced at him before shifting his gaze away. He had no intention of bothering with him.
Duan Yingjun smiled awkwardly. At this moment, Feifei opened her mouth. "There are many Demonic Beasts in the vast forest. There are also a few dangerous places. If we can find one of them first and set up a trap, we might be able to give it a try."
"Yes, Feifei is right. How about this, I remember there is a place called 'Demon Dragon Valley', and there is a rank six White Bone Dragon there. I heard that the entire Demon Dragon Valley is filled with miasma, but when we go out, we bring the 'Poison Dispelling Pill' from the Marquis's Mansion, which can ignore the miasma. Using this, we can create some strange phenomenon of treasures being unearthed and lure the White Bone Dragons out to fight, while we sit back and reap the benefits."
Duan Tianying said.
"That's feasible. Let's go now in case others take the lead."
Duan Lengmei stood up and said.
…
Duan Tianying had a prepared map in his hand. He found the location of the Demon Dragon Valley on it and carefully walked towards the Demon Dragon Valley.
After walking for more than a day, Ning Qi found that the nearby trees were a little withered. There was not a single blade of grass growing on the ground and there was a chill in the air.
At this moment, Duan Tianying and the other two stopped and threw an elixir into their mouths.
Duan Yingjun laughed dryly. "Tianying, I came out in a hurry this time and forgot to bring the Poison Dispelling Pill. I wonder if you have two extra pills. I can buy them from you for three Lower Spiritual Crystals."
"I'm sorry, we have just enough Poison Dispelling Pills. We don't have any extra."
Duan Tianying refused.
Duan Feifei's eyes flashed with sympathy. Although she wanted to help Duan Yingjun, she was powerless.
"Brother Duan, I happen to have a few Poison Dispelling Pills here."
Ning Qi smiled and threw an elixir to Duan Yingjun.
Duan Tianying took a look. It was indeed a Poison Dispelling Pill and the quality was not low. He swallowed it happily and said to Ning Qi, "Brother Ning, you are indeed an alchemist!"
Duan Tianying was surprised to see that the Poison Dispelling Pill that Ning Qi threw out was of a higher grade than the one he had taken. After hearing Duan Yingjun say that Ning Qi was an alchemist, he suddenly understood.
"So you are an alchemist. No wonder you can take out so many Spirit Cultivation Pills."
Duan Lengmei's expression changed and he looked at Ning Qi with a complicated expression.
"In that case, the two of you will explore the way in front. The three of us will cover the back in case of a sneak attack."
Duan Tianying said.
"We explore the way?"
Duan Yingjun frowned.
"Brother Duan, let's go. We are just exploring the way. We are not going to die."
Ning Qi smiled and said.
"Alright then. Don't go too far ahead. Just follow behind me."
Duan Yingjun nodded and walked straight ahead.
However, not long after, they bumped into two guys.
Coincidentally, they knew these two people.
"It's you guys!"
A gloating smile suddenly appeared on Duan Yingjun's face.
The newcomers were none other than the two brothers from the Heaven Sword Marquis Mansion. However, compared to their previous arrogance, they were in an extremely sorry state. Their bodies were covered with wounds.
"So it's the Heaven Sword Marquis Mansion's Ximen Brothers. Who did you meet? Why do you look like this?"
Duan Tianying walked forward and said with a mocking smile.
Ximen Jing and Ximen He were startled and immediately stopped in their tracks. As the younger brother, Ximen He's face was pale and weak. There was a wound on his belly that kept bleeding.
