In the forest, large areas of plants were full of vitality. But in a few blinks of an eye, they all withered. This was definitely not a normal phenomenon.
"Everyone, run! There must be a terrifying creature here!" Someone exclaimed.
"Why run? No matter how strong it is, it can't fight with so many of us. Don't be such a coward! "Another person replied.
"Are you stupid? The man-devouring flowers and soul-piercing vines are so powerful. Even if we fell into them, we would die. Now that they all disappeared, something even more terrifying must have appeared. It might even be a saint level creature. If we don't run now, it will be too late."
"Leader, make the decision. Should we run or not?"
"This damned place is full of danger. Damn it!"
…
Everyone in Jingwu had different thoughts. Most of them were still very afraid of the sudden disappearance of the plants. If it was a terrifying creature, they didn't know if they could withstand it.
"Everyone, don't be afraid. I will help you see if there are any evil things." Qing Jing said faintly. She formed a seal with her hands, and a holy light appeared. Then, she swept toward the withered place.
This power had the ability to calm one's mind. Immediately, Jing Wu's people calmed down. At the same time, they could feel Qing Jing's pure and kind heart. In their hearts, they were actually reflecting on all the bad things they had done in the past. There was a feeling of shame.
The sacred mandala flower felt this power in the dark. It felt very disgusted and almost couldn't help but retaliate.
"Don't act rashly." Yang Wu transmitted to the sacred mandala flower.
"Master, this power is really annoying." The sacred mandala flower replied.
"Then go and help me open up a path if you cause any commotion. Also, collect some herbs for me." Yang Wu thought for a moment and said.
"That's what you said. Then I'll go."
"Just don't go too far."
…
Suddenly, a strange cry rang out, and an evil aura spread out. A plant with great power quickly fled into the distance.
The geniuses all noticed its existence, but they couldn't see what kind of plant it was.
"There really is something evil." Pan Xiaoxin exclaimed.
"Leader's power is the purest in the world. It can drive away evil. That's amazing." Mei Zihao couldn't help but praise.
"That's right. That evil being seemed to be very powerful. Otherwise, it wouldn't have caused such a huge commotion. Fortunately, the leader was here. Otherwise, we wouldn't even know how we died." Another person agreed.
Qing Jing said modestly, "My power just happened to restrain it, so it was scared away. It might be a sacred item, or else it wouldn't have been able to escape from my Purification Curse."
"An evil holy object. That's too scary. Everyone, be careful. We're still quite a distance away from the Dragon-Phoenix Abyss." Yang Wu purposely reminded.
Thus, the group continued on their journey. Everyone had completely adapted to the tranquility of this place.
Regardless of Qing Jing's battle prowess, she was able to contribute at the critical moment and even drive away the Saint-level evil being. Since she, as the leader, was able to contribute to the team, they felt at ease.
Another day passed and they encountered a group of Spirit Demons.
All of a sudden, everyone became nervous.
The humans were fighting for the Dragon-Phoenix List, while the Spirit Demons were fighting for the Cyan Demon List. This group of Spirit Demons were clearly young. They were all in human form, and the demonic aura around them was extremely obvious.
They were Spirit Demons from the Flood Dragon Clan. There weren't many of them, only about thirty or so. However, they gave Jing Wu's team great pressure. Most of their mounts were so frightened that they lay on the ground.
Their mounts had been tamed by the humans and lost their most primitive wildness. In front of these Flood Dragon Clan prodigies, they completely lost their confidence.
These Flood Dragons weren't here to cause trouble. They just happened to pass by.
There were both male and female Flood Dragons. Every one of them was dressed in scaled armor. They were all extremely tall. The men were handsome, and the women were beautiful. However, it was difficult to feel close to them. Their eyes were filled with arrogance and sharpness, as if they looked down on Jing Wu's team.
"Humans." The leader of the Flood Dragon Clan said calmly.
This was a prince of the Flood Dragon Clan. He was also the leader of this group of Flood Dragons. His name was Ao Changzhan.
Jing Wu's team looked worried. They were afraid that these Flood Dragons would suddenly attack them. Although they had the advantage in numbers, if they really fought, there would definitely be casualties.
At this moment, Qing Jing once again displayed her ability as a leader. She stood out with her palms together and bowed. "Qing Jing greets the friends from the Flood Dragon Clan. May I know what business you have with us?"
"Are you in charge of the human nuns?" Ao Changzhan asked.
"Yes, I am the leader." Qing Jing replied in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
In her heart, all living beings were equal. Even the Spirit Demons were the same. She wasn't afraid of these Flood Dragons. She also didn't want to fight with them. She was just curious about what they wanted.
"I want his life. Bring me his head, and bring the bastards of my race." Ao Changzhan's eyes locked onto one of the geniuses from the human race.
That prodigy instantly panicked.
Everyone looked at him. He was Liu Chengang, the prodigy who had the Heavenly Dragon Jade Tablet. He was a peak Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator and came from a first-rate force.
Liu Chengang was targeted by the Flood Dragons because he was sitting on a Flood Dragon. That Flood Dragon was so scared that it couldn't even stand up straight.
"Flood Dragon Friend, I won't kill my own people, nor will I send him out. If I have offended you, please forgive me." Qing Jing wasn't a fool. She knew why Ao Changzhan wanted Liu Chengang's life. However, she still insisted on protecting Liu Chengang.
"Thank you, leader." Liu Chengang was touched by Qing Jing's attitude.
Before this, he was the one who didn't cooperate with Qing Jing's orders. Now, he swore that he would listen to Qing Jing.
"You people treat our clan as mounts. You all deserve to die." A hot-tempered Flood Dragon shouted.
"Your Highness, give the order for us to kill them all." Another Flood Dragon said.
Every Flood Dragon was angry. When they saw their own kind being treated as mounts, they were furious.
Ao Changzhan's suggestion was the best solution, but the human race didn't agree. They deserved to die.
"Human Race Nun, as you can see, the companion behind me doesn't like your decision. Before entering the Dragon-Phoenix Abyss, I don't want to fight with you humans. But if you really want to protect him, I don't mind killing you in advance." Ao Changzhan said coldly.
"We're not scared. If you want to fight, then let's fight." Pan Xiaoxin shouted with an air of not losing to men.
"That's right. So what if your own Flood Dragon is willing to be someone's mount? You want to care about this too? Do you want to care about our mounts?" Another person echoed.
For a moment, the atmosphere became tense.
"Do the humans think that we're arrogant because we're few in number? Don't forget that this is our territory." A Flood Dragon replied. Then, he let out a loud roar.
Roar!
This roar seemed to be conveying some message. A voice in the distance began to respond.
Roar Roar!
It was the sound of a beast's roar. A powerful wave of energy swept toward them.
"Not good, they're summoning other Spirit Tribes to help." Someone from the Jing Wu group cried out.
"If you want to fight, then fight. If you don't, then run." Another person said.
At this time, Liu Chengang stepped forward and said, "I'll give up my mount. Don't make things difficult for us."
Liu Chengang was still sensible. He knew that once the battle began, it would be difficult to turn the situation around. Whether or not he could escape was one thing, but he would definitely implicate everyone present. It was better to take a step back and give up his mount in exchange for a chance to live.
"It's too late now." Ao Changzhan looked at Liu Chengang disdainfully.
Unknowingly, dozens of Spirit Beasts appeared nearby. They didn't take human form, and their powerful Demonic Qi locked onto the Jing Wu group. There were also a few Spirit Beasts rushing over.
This was indeed the Flood Dragon Tribe's territory. It was unwise to become their enemy.
"Friends from the Flood Dragon Tribe, please let us go. Otherwise, we won't be polite." Qing Jing looked at Ao Changzhan and said.
"How are you going to be polite? Today, I'll make all of you stay here. None of you will be able to reach the Dragon-Phoenix Abyss. "Ao Changzhan said domineeringly.
Another Flood Dragon said, "Your Highness is right. Why don't we just capture these humans and turn them into human pets?"
"That's right. Since they dared to capture our tribe's companions, we can also capture them as human pets and slaves. They're all geniuses of the human race. Their potential is not bad." Another Flood Dragon said.
At the mention of human pets, the Flood Dragons' eyes burned with desire.
It was normal for humans to capture Spirit Beasts as mounts. There were actually many humans who became Spirit Beasts' human pets. It was just that the human race didn't want to face such a scandal.
It wasn't just the Spirit Beasts who had the habit of capturing humans as human pets. The Demon Race and other races often did the same. There were even some races who liked to trade humans as slaves.
"Prepare for battle. Kill our way out!" Qing Jing felt the other party's determination. There was no way out and she could decisively give the order to prepare for battle.
"Kill our way out!" Xia Zixiu echoed. Young Master Xiao Yao was no coward. He was able to become a monster. There was no such thing as being afraid of death in his dictionary.
"That's more like it. Kill them!" Pan Xiaoxin, the cute girl, had the genes of a battle-crazed girl. She drew out her battle weapon. Profound Qi surrounded her body, and she looked like she was ready to attack at any time.
At this moment, everyone in Jing Wu's group was filled with fighting spirit.
In the face of a difficult situation, they had to be united. Only then could they overcome all difficulties and obtain a chance at survival.
"Ignorant humans. Kill them all." Ao Changzhan had also lost his patience. He gave the order faintly.
Just as the battle was about to break out, someone emitted a thick dragon aura. He said loudly, "Is it worth it to fight to the death for such a small matter?"
