Given the situation, they had to be careful when dealing with the Blood Demons. Otherwise, they might fail miserably.
With everyone hurrying at full speed, the Blood Demon appeared in everyone's field of vision in the time it took to brew two cups of tea.
Ping Xingteng waved his hand, and a saber appeared in his grasp. He smiled sinisterly and said, "I'll take the lead. Let's see how many Blood Demons there are in the Deep Sea Battlefield."
The others also drew their weapons and followed closely behind him. They all had excited expressions on their faces. "Boom!
Boom! "
The scarlet sea churned and waves surged. Ping Xingteng was pretty strong. With a sudden burst of power, he severely injured a middle-rank Blood Demon with three saber strikes.
However, the other nine Blood Demons surrounded him. Wu Quan drew the huge sword on his back and shouted, "Go and help!" "Dang!
Dang! "
The situation quickly turned chaotic. This team that had formed at the last minute did not have any tacit understanding. The moment they charged over, the experienced Blood Demons split them up, forcing them to fight their own battles.
The advantage of numbers instantly vanished. The scarlet water in the sea choked the noses of several cultivators. Several cultivators even panicked for a moment when the blood splashed on their faces.
Xiao Chen shook his head to himself. However, he could not just leave them to die, so he could only wander around. Wherever someone was in mortal danger, Xiao Chen would rush over and draw the attention of the Blood Demons away.
The only one who could attract Xiao Chen's attention was the team leader, Wu Quan. This person was very bold. When he saw that the situation was not right, he immediately attracted the attention of the three Blood Demons.
This alleviated the pressure on the team significantly. On the other hand, Ping Xingteng did not feel any pressure at all. On the other hand, although Ping Xingteng was strong, he only cared about killing excitedly, not paying attention to his surroundings.
The battle lasted for an hour. At the price of light injuries, Ping Xingteng managed to turn the situation around.
"How delightful! Hahahaha!"
Ping Xingteng laughed excitedly as he wiped off the blood on his face. With one saber strike, he severely injured the last Blood Demon.
Wu Quan quickly stopped Ping Xingteng and said, "Brother Ping, wait for a while. Let's give the points of this Blood Demon to Xiao Chen. After all, he was the one who discovered the Blood Demons. Otherwise, we would not have been able to find these Blood Demons so easily. You would have obtained two points already. "
As the team leader, Wu Quan was still very competent. He had hunted down three Blood Demons, but he had only managed to kill one of them.
The last hits from the other two sides were given to the other team members. He only got one point.
Ping Xingteng stopped, feeling somewhat displeased. He said to Xiao Chen, "You are right. You can kill this Blood Demon. I will let you have it."
Xiao Chen waved his hand and said indifferently, "There is no need. These points are not enough for everyone to share. I will not join in the fun."
Ping Xingteng laughed mischievously and said: "Brat, you are quite tactful. In that case, I will not be polite!"
When the saber chopped down, the Blood Demon's aura disappeared. Another black dot appeared on the back of Ping Xingteng's jade pendant.
Wu Quan shook his head. Ping Xingteng had killed those three Blood Demons himself, so he could not say anything.
After that, it was time to split the spoils of war. The middle-ranked Blood Demons did not have many valuable items. However, with Wu Quan's help, everyone more or less obtained something.
The heads of the ten Blood Demons were split among the five injured people. With Wu Quan's explanation, Xiao Chen learned that these heads could be exchanged for some high-quality Medicinal Pills and Spirit Herbs on the outpost islets.
Under normal circumstances, no one had any objections to giving the heads to the injured cultivators first.
After resting for a while, the group continued on their way. With Xiao Chen scouting the way for them, they would always find the most suitable prey.
After a day of fighting, no one in the group suffered any serious injuries. Only a few people were slightly injured. After some treatment, they would be able to recover their combat prowess.
The sky turned completely dark. The dark clouds above made the night seem even darker. The moment night fell, everyone's vision became so dark that they could not even see their own fingers.
When Wu Quan saw that someone wanted to take out a Night Illumination Stone, he quickly stopped him. "Don't. If you take out a Night Illumination Stone, it will attract all the Demons in the periphery. At that time, even if you have nine lives, you will not be able to survive."
That person was startled and quickly stopped what he was doing. With a flip of his hand, Wu Quan took out a palm-sized model of a house.
After Xiao Chen formed hand seals, the house immediately turned back to its normal size. It looked very mystical.
Wu Quan smiled and said, "This is a Secret Treasure that I obtained by accident. It is useless in battle. However, it is best to use it to rest. Everyone, go in."
The house had tables, chairs, and wooden stools. All sorts of furniture of various sizes were available. There was even a stove for cooking. The Night Illumination Stones were embedded in the ceiling, illuminating the room. However, none of the light shone out.
Wu Quan smiled and said, "You all take a simple rest. Tonight, Xiao Chen and I will keep watch."
A sinister wind blew. It was already late at night, but the scarlet sea was not peaceful. All sorts of strange roars came from it, never stopping.
They reverberated endlessly in the night sky, seemingly never going away.
The sounds that were not horrifying during the day caused one's hair to stand on end when they heard them late at night.
One could even hear the miserable cries of some unlucky cultivators caught by the Demons in the night and eaten. The heart-wrenching screams made one's heart palpitate.
Wu Quan's and Xiao Chen's expressions did not change much despite all these strange sounds.
The two sat on the roof, each holding a bottle of wine as they chatted leisurely.
"It was all thanks to you during the day. Now that I think about it, it is incredible. Unexpectedly, not a single severely injured person appeared."
Wu Quan took a big gulp of wine and wiped away the wine at the corner of his mouth. Then, he thanked Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen brought the bottle of wine to his lips and took a sip. Then, he smiled gently and said, "You are a good leader. I did not do much."
Xiao Chen's words were not exaggerated. Wu Quan was indeed a good leader. After the initial run-in, the team had already formed some tacit understanding.
They would no longer be separated by the Demons after a short fight. Such a situation was inseparable from Wu Quan's leadership.
Xiao Chen did not do much himself. He just went out for a walk and used his Spiritual Sense to scan the area.
When Xiao Chen fought, he did not put in much effort. He only paid attention to the abilities of each type of Demon.
When Xiao Chen saw a teammate in a dangerous situation, he would lure the Demons away. This was basically all he did.
After a few more days, when Xiao Chen figured out the habits and abilities of all the Demons, he would leave. Hence, there was no need to leave any impression here.
Wu Quan smiled gently, tacitly acknowledging Xiao Chen's praise. He took another sip of wine and asked, "Xiao Chen, why did you come to the Deep Sea Battlefield?"
Xiao Chen thought for a while and said, "Naturally, it is to temper my strength and improve further."
Wu Quan shook his head and said, "I am not talking about that. Er, let me put it this way. After you improve further, what do you want to do? Do you want to be a grandmaster of a sect? Do you want to be a wanderer? Do you want to be the protector of a sect? Or do you want to join the Royal Court? "
Xiao Chen was slightly stunned. Wu Quan's question was somewhat interesting. Simply put, why do you want to practice martial arts?
Xiao Chen thought for a while and said seriously, "I want to climb to the peak of martial arts and see what the scenery is like at the peak. Then, I want to leave my name in history. Even after ten thousand years, the world will not forget your name because of the passage of time. "
Wu Quan's mouth gaped slightly. He smiled embarrassedly and said, "This dream is really grand. People like the Tianwu Emperor and the Thunder King are hard to come by even in a few thousand years."
Xiao Chen smiled gently and said, "I was just joking. I want to be a wanderer. I want to travel the world and meet the famous bladesmen of the world."
Only then did Wu Quan smile in relief. If others heard what Xiao Chen said earlier, they would definitely treat it as the nonsense of a youth who did not know the gravity of the situation. The latter was more normal.
However, Xiao Chen did not know that after many years, every time he recalled the conversation he had tonight, he would sigh.
The youth from that day had indeed become an existence comparable to the Thunder King. His name would be left in history, lasting for ten thousand years. Furthermore, the so-called legend was by his side.
History remembered that white-robed bladesman who liked to wear white robes and always had a calm and indifferent expression. However, it did not remember such a night.
He, Wu Quan, had drunk wine and chatted with that legendary person. Furthermore, that legendary person was his leader in name.
The night passed unknowingly as the two drank and chatted. Nothing unexpected happened.
The cultivators in the room woke up one after another. When they pushed open the door and looked out, visibility was still very low.
However, it was not to the point where they could not see their fingers when they stretched out their hands. After circulating their Essence, they could still see very far.
"Hey, Xiao Chen, go out and see if there are any Demons. This elder brother's treasured saber has been thirsty for an entire night."
The first thing Ping Xingteng said when he came out was to order Xiao Chen around. His tone was very smooth and did not seem unnatural at all.
Xiao Chen found it funny. This fellow is really addicted to using me. He does not seem embarrassed at all.
Wu Quan said somewhat worriedly, "How about I go? You did not sleep for an entire night. You might not be in good spirits."
"It's fine. It is fine to not sleep for an entire night."
Hearing Xiao Chen say that, Wu Quan did not bother with Xiao Chen anymore. It was indeed fine for cultivators to not sleep for a few days and nights.
Xiao Chen's figure gently drifted away, and he moved a hundred meters. With a few flashes, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
Ping Xingteng smiled at the crowd and said, "Although this fellow is not very strong, I admit that I am inferior to him in terms of Movement Techniques."
In yesterday's battle, Xiao Chen's information was very accurate. It was as he had said.
Xiao Chen had basically just drifted around, not burdening them at all. He did not compete with Ping Xingteng for any rewards.
"He has a good temper and does not compete for anything. I like such youths. Speaking of which, the few of you should learn from him. Newcomers should have the awareness of newcomers. Xiao Chen is your role model. "
"Unfortunately, the youths these days are not very capable, but their ambitions are higher than the sky. They are afraid that others will take away their points. They do not know how to be down-to-earth and move forward step by step. That is the most important thing."
Now, Ping Xingteng already had more than a hundred points. He was very pleased with himself and started giving pointers to the crowd.
Wu Quan shook his head slightly and interrupted, "Let's not talk about this for now. Let's rehearse the formation from yesterday and prepare in advance."
