They only understood one thing. Qin Guan asked, "Elder, are you saying that we can't win no matter how hard we try, so there's no need to waste our efforts?"
Niu Youdao smiled. "More or less. That's why we don't need to offend the local tyrant. We should try our best to avoid unexpected dangers. You saw it at the beginning. The demon foxes purposely set up traps to kill Xu Huo and the others. It's obvious that the demon foxes here are quite intelligent. It's not a bad thing to avoid being lured into traps. "
"Also, I don't care if you want to join the Misty Pavilion or not. Even if you do, you'd better restrain yourselves. What does it mean for the Misty Pavilion if you kill the demon foxes and get good results? It means that you're going against them. If you join them this way, will you have a good time in the future? The Misty Pavilion has been entrenched in the cultivation world for many years. It's a big tree with deep roots. Who knows how many people's secrets are in their hands? Even the Nine Sages don't dare to overturn them. Even the Nine Sages have to do it step by step. Are you going to court death by rushing to the front? "
The two of them finally understood. They hadn't thought it through so thoroughly. They immediately cupped their hands and said in unison, "Thank you for your guidance, Elder."
Niu Youdao said, "There are some things that you don't need to know. Let the others work hard. Don't tell them that if everyone doesn't work hard, the Sage State will be angry. Then, everyone will have to bear the consequences. I don't need to teach you this, do I?"
"Understood!" The two of them quickly answered.
"You're Fu Junrang's disciple?" Niu Youdao asked Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie, "You're Mo Lingxue's disciple?"
"Yes!" The two of them answered.
Niu Youdao said, "Monkey … that's Yuan Gang who trained you. Yuan Gang told me that you're not bad. I've been in contact with you recently and observed you. I don't think you're from the Misty Pavilion. Of course, being sent out by the sect as an outstanding disciple is not an undeserved reputation. You're not bad. A good man needs three helpers. I came here alone without any reliable helpers. There are many things I can't do alone. I need helpers. "
The two of them looked at each other. Qin Guan said, "We're here on the orders of the sect. Naturally, we'll cooperate with you, Elder."
"Hmm …" Niu Youdao shook his head, seemingly dissatisfied with their answers. "There are some things that can only be done by my people. My people, understand? If I don't want you to follow me, I have plenty of ways to send you away. Since I've made you stay by my side, I'll say the ugly words first. Since you've followed me, you're my people. There are some things that are beyond your control. That's why I've told you so many things that shouldn't be said. "
The two of them didn't quite understand what he meant.
Niu Youdao said, "Fu Junrang and Mo Lingxue's disciples. It's not a problem for you to be their disciples. I'm not asking you to betray your masters. However … whatever they can give you, I can also give you. Whatever they can't, I can also give you. This is not a bad thing for you. Just follow me in the future!"
What do you mean I'll follow you in the future? The two of them were embarrassed, not knowing how to reply.
Niu Youdao chuckled and said, "I'll say it again. Since you've joined me and I'm quite satisfied with you, there are some things that are beyond your control. It's okay if you don't understand now. You'll understand in the future. How's your recovery? Let's go when you're almost recovered. "He stood up.
The two of them really didn't understand. They were bewildered. They didn't know what Elder Niu was trying to say …
It was almost evening. The scattered members met up in the forest where they had agreed to meet up. They had some gains, but not much.
Almost every team had one or two. The Wan Shou Faction was indeed the Wan Shou Faction. They were very sensitive to the instincts of certain animals. They managed to get five of them.
Chao Jing even caught a live Demon Fox with his own hands. It seemed that he wanted to improve his team's hunting ability. He purposely caught a live Demon Fox and demonstrated it to everyone.
After letting everyone understand the specific characteristics of the Demon Fox, Chao Jing pulled out his sword and stabbed it cleanly into the Demon Fox's head. He used the sword to pick out a bloody eyeball. He threw it to the disciples and kept it in his storage bag.
"Wahhhh …" The Demon Fox let out a shrill scream. It bared its fangs and hid its sharp claws in its hairy feet. It was twisting in agony.
Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie quietly looked at Niu Youdao's reaction. They realized that Elder Niu was looking at them coldly. He didn't show any interest, nor did he intend to stop them.
Chao Jing threw away the Demon Fox's corpse that was still writhing. He kept his sword and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, we've got a total of twenty-one today. It's too little." He looked a little serious.
The Demon Fox on the ground soon stopped moving. The hole in its forehead was bleeding profusely.
Niu Youdao sighed and said, "I'm sorry. Everyone got something, but I got nothing. I feel like I'm dragging everyone down."
Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie smiled bitterly in their hearts. They didn't know why, but they felt that Elder Niu was unfathomable. They felt that he was very shrewd. This was something that they couldn't feel when they were at the Purple Golden Cave.
It wasn't just this Elder Niu. The two of them also felt that the big guy beside Elder Niu was not ordinary.
In the beginning, when Yuan Gang asked for the two of them to train, the two of them were very disdainful and unwilling. However, Thatched Cottage had already spoken, and the sect wanted them to obey and cooperate with Niu Youdao. They had no choice. However, after receiving Yuan Gang's training, the two of them realized that Yuan Gang was not ordinary. Some of his ideas and methods were eye-opening. Gradually, they settled down and learned humbly.
They knew that they were in a hurry and the training time was limited. However, to them, they had benefited a lot from it.
Shen Yidu laughed and said, "It's fine if you drag us down. What's important is that you know what to do during the training. As long as you know what to do, we don't care if you drag us down or not. You can drag us however you want. Isn't that right, everyone?"
Everyone was either laughing or smiling, as if they knew what was going on.
Niu Youdao also smiled and asked, "How's the thing that I told everyone to pay attention to?"
Hibiscus shook her head, "I didn't find any traces of Misty Pavilion members."
"No!" Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they didn't.
Niu Youdao said, "Don't forget about this. We'll continue tomorrow. Once you find them, you must pay attention to their whereabouts."
"Yes!" Everyone nodded their heads, indicating that they had memorized it.
Quan Taifeng couldn't help but ask, "Brother, why are you looking for Misty Pavilion members? You can't be thinking of robbing them, right?"
Niu Youdao said, "I'm not as daring as you. Since you have such thoughts, we will fulfill your wish. Everyone, once you find any traces of Misty Pavilion members, inform Elder Quan and let him snatch them. Of course, this is Elder Quan's personal decision. It has nothing to do with us! "
Everyone burst into laughter. Some even cheered.
Of course, they all knew that it was a joke. There was already a rule that no robbing was allowed. If they dared to rob, they would be courting death. Moreover, they were robbing from Misty Pavilion. Who would dare to do that?
"Go, go, go!" Quan Taifeng waved his hand at the crowd and asked curiously, "Brother, why are you looking for them?"
Niu Youdao didn't tell them the reason, but reminded them again, "Anyway, it's for your own good. Everyone, remember to be careful."
Those who thought that he knew the inside story nodded their heads. Since he said so, they had to treat it seriously. Otherwise, why would they follow him?
"It's getting dark soon, and there are no Moon Butterflies. We are not familiar with the environment, so it's not convenient to hunt at night. Everyone, rest early." Niu Youdao said and went to meditate.
Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie stayed by Niu Youdao's side, taking turns to rest and be on guard to ensure Niu Youdao's safety.
Any abnormality would quickly arouse their vigilance.
The others also noticed it, and they had already noticed it. Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie's vigilance was extraordinary. There were some things that others couldn't see, but when the two squatted on the grass, they could warn people that something had passed by in time.
Moreover, they always put Niu Youdao's safety as the center. No matter when it was, they had to seize an advantageous position. Obviously, they didn't dare to be careless, and strictly guarded against any possible danger that might appear against Niu Youdao.
Looking at the people around them, they realized that the quality of the people around them was not just a little bit different from Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie. The gap was too obvious, and it wasn't a gap that could be reversed with a few words. Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie were quite professional.
Having two disciples like that by their side could indeed make people feel more at ease.
Many people were puzzled. They had also asked around. Although these two were disciples of Purple Golden Cave, they weren't Niu Youdao's people at all. They were also temporarily sent to follow Niu Youdao. Was there such a big gap between the disciples of their own sect and those of Purple Golden Cave? It wasn't like they hadn't come into contact with disciples of Purple Golden Cave before. Why couldn't they see it? Could it be that they had overlooked it before?
"Did you see that? Even when the fog floats over, you have to quickly block it. Smell it first and learn from it!" Quan Taifeng reprimanded the two disciples of Lingxiao Pavilion with some dissatisfaction. He found that compared to the others, they were like two lumps of wood.
At dawn the next day, everyone once again spread out according to the arrangement and carried out the search.
Niu Youdao and the other two continued to walk and stop in the swamp. They were leisurely as if they were here to enjoy the scenery. They didn't look like they were here to hunt demon foxes to gain experience.
Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie, who had already understood Niu Youdao's intentions, also gave up on hunting.
However, gradually, not only the two, but even Niu Youdao gradually realized that something was wrong. The situation today was obviously different from yesterday. They could see demon foxes frequently around them.
Perhaps it was because they knew that the three of them wouldn't make a move on the demon foxes, but in the middle of the afternoon, the situation became even more exaggerated. Dozens of demon foxes appeared in groups and ran past them not far away.
The three of them still didn't react, which led to groups of demon foxes playing around behind them. This made Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie itch to fight. If it wasn't for Niu Youdao's warning, they might not have been able to stop themselves from making a move. Qin Guan clicked his tongue.
"The number of demon foxes in the Desolate Swamp Wasteland has actually spread to such an extent?"
Ke Dingjie said, "Maybe we didn't go deep enough yesterday. Today, we went deep enough, so we saw more."
