"Impossible. Junior Brother Qian is ten times stronger than you. Even if you died ten times, he wouldn't have died in there." Ding Bei couldn't help but shudder when he thought about how he would have to face the furious Qian Dali after Qian Xu's death. Thinking about the relationship between Lu Xiaotian and the Qian Clan, Ding Bei's first thought was to push all the blame onto Lu Xiaotian.
"What do you mean? Captain Qian has a noble background and powerful strength. He shouldn't have died, but the others should have died?"
Lu Xiaotian took a step closer to Ding Bei and took out the Black Flood Dragon Scissors with killing intent.
"Black Flood Dragon Scissors! This is Junior Brother Qian's magic artifact! "Liu Buchang and the others exclaimed.
After losing such an important magic artifact, no one in the team doubted whether Qian Xu was dead or not.
"The Black Flood Dragon Scissors was given to Junior Brother Qian by my master. Since Junior Brother Qian has died, this magic artifact should be safeguarded by me as an official disciple. I will pass it to my master after we get out of here. Junior Brother Lu, please return the Black Flood Dragon Scissors to me. " Liu Buchang was afraid of Lu Xiaotian's power, but he was also very interested in the Black Flood Dragon Scissors. He could only use Qian Dali to pressure Lu Xiaotian and hope that this kid would give in. After all, with the magic artifact in hand, his chances of survival in this dangerous Blood Forbidden Ground would increase by at least several times.
"It doesn't matter who is safekeeping it. After I get out of the Blood Forbidden Ground, I will pass it to Martial Uncle Qian. Besides, I risked my life to retrieve the Black Flood Dragon Scissors from the cave. Why should I give it to you? If you have the ability, just snatch it from me. "Lu Xiaotian rolled his eyes.
"You!" Liu Buchang was furious, but he didn't have the guts to snatch it.
"Alright, stop arguing. As long as the Black Flood Dragon Scissors are in our team, it's fine. Since Brother Lu risked his life to retrieve it, it's reasonable for Brother Lu to safekeep it. We will return it to Martial Uncle Qian after we get out. However, when we escaped from the cave, the aura of the Soul Nurturing Grass seemed to have disappeared. Brother Lu, did you see the Soul Nurturing Grass? "Bai Guanjie asked.
"It's in my storage pouch. It's about 300 years old. I'll take sixty percent of this Soul Nurturing Grass, and the remaining forty percent will go to you guys. If there's any danger, we'll take turns to help, and we'll split the rewards according to how much we contribute. The highest proportion of contribution should not exceed 60%. What do you all think? "
Lu Xiaotian's eyes flashed. This Bai Guanjie wasn't simple. Even in such a dangerous situation, he was still able to notice this detail.
"That's settled then," Tian Jing said with a smile. "Since Captain Qian has fallen, why not let Brother Lu be the captain?"
"I agree."
"I agree too!"
The two female disciples, Meng Tian and Lu Yun, as well as the two male disciples, Zhao Chen and Zhou Yue, all agreed in unison. Compared to Qian Xu's stinginess and overbearingness, Lu Xiaotian's action of sharing a portion of the benefits he had pocketed with them was undoubtedly much better. As for Qian Dali, that was something they should worry about when they got out. Now that they were in the forbidden area, these cultivators who weren't strong enough could only think about how to survive and gain certain benefits at the same time.
"In that case, it's settled then." Lu Xiaotian nodded. He didn't care about Ding Bei's and Liu Buchang's attitudes and directly agreed. After temporarily obtaining the authority to command the team, he was slightly relieved. The disciples of various sects who entered the forbidden bloody area were all in teams. Although he thought his strength was not bad, this kind of dangerous place was not suitable for solo action. Not to mention the demon beasts that could appear at any time, it would be even more dangerous if he were to encounter the teams of other sects alone.
Although Ding Bei and Liu Buchang didn't agree, Qian Xu was already dead. With their strength, they couldn't do anything about the current situation.
After this incident, the team continued to search for spiritual items in the surrounding area. In order to avoid being ambushed by other teams, Lu Xiaotian spread out the team members to search and be on guard. He repeatedly warned them that once they encountered an area with signs of human activity, they were strictly forbidden to move without permission to avoid falling into an enemy's ambush.
The team left the foot of the mountain and searched along the way. Along the way, they collected several kinds of valuable spiritual herbs. Lu Xiaotian even collected two supplementary ingredients for the Heaven Reversal Pill.
A corpse! Ding Bei looked around and saw an extremely precious piece of Yellow Iron Essence beside the corpse. There was also a storage bag on the corpse. Ding Bei's eyes suddenly lit up. After looking around for a while, he felt that there was no danger. He secretly smiled and quickly ran to the corpse. He reached out and grabbed the Yellow Iron Essence and the storage bag.
However, when he picked up the Yellow Iron Essence, he didn't notice that the bottom of the Yellow Iron Essence was connected to a tough and thin spider silk. The thin spider silk stretched out a few meters among the mess and pulled the spring that was connected to the spider silk.
"Not good." Ding Bei's expression changed greatly. He was very careful and confirmed that there was no ambush nearby. Moreover, the team members led by Lu Xiaotian were not far from him. Reinforcements could arrive in a short period of time. That was why he had the courage to grab the storage bag and the valuable Yellow Iron Essence. After all, even if the other members of the team shared some of the benefits, he would still get the lion's share. However, he didn't expect that the person who secretly set up the trap would set up the mechanism here so cleverly and insidiously.
Ding Bei was about to retreat, but how could the person who set the trap not take this into consideration? As the spring was pulled, a spirit net with barbs opened with a bang, covering an area with a radius of several tens of feet. At the same time, several sharp arrows followed closely behind. Ding Bei was caught off guard, and in shock, he cast a Water Spirit Barrier Spell. The spirit net covered the Water Spirit Shield. Before Ding Bei could react, several sharp arrows had already arrived in a flash and directly pierced the Water Spirit Shield.
Ding Bei panicked and pulled out his spirit sword to block left and right, avoiding the vital parts, but he was still shot in the arm by one of the arrows.
With a scream, Ding Bei's Water Spirit Shield completely collapsed, and the whole spirit net completely bound Ding Bei.
"Help, help!" Ding Bei panicked and shouted to the team for help.
"This guy really deserves it!" Meng Tian, a petite girl, said bitterly. Then she looked at Lu Xiaotian and said, "Brother Lu, what should we do?"
"Zhou Yue, you are alert and fast. Go and drag Ding Bei over. The others, prepare to fight." Lu Xiaotian said in a deep voice. Although Ding Bei deserved it, at this critical moment, they had to save him. Otherwise, it would have a certain impact on the team's morale. Lu Xiaotian quickly made arrangements.
"Haha, I was wondering which unlucky guy fell into this trap. It turned out to be the people of Divine Firmament Palace." At this time, a group of cultivators in colorful clothes came out. A burly young man in brown boots came out laughing with nine other cultivators.
