Chapter 227: Be on Guard Against Others

Lin Xiaoman and the others held their breath and watched the Flame Tiger leave their sight with their peripheral vision.

If Lin Xiaoman hadn't been afraid of being discovered being stared at, he would have raised his head and looked carefully. This is because the cultivators and monsters in the world of immortal cultivation are extremely sensitive. If someone stares at them for a long time, they will easily notice anything unusual.

Fortunately, they all understood and did not go to look directly. The sixth-level flame tiger finally disappeared from sight.

The four of them breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time, and their bodies collapsed.

"What do we do now? Should we leave?"

Li Hua turned around to look at Lin Xiaoman and Chen Shuyan.

"Wait and see. I think this guy is a bit cunning. Don't let him play tricks on us. He will go and observe us secretly."

Chen Shuyan pondered for a while and said in a low voice.

Furthermore, they had placed an invisibility talisman inside the formation, so they could not be discovered by the sixth-level monster for the time being. But if the formation was removed, they would be easily discovered. By then, if the flaming tiger caught up with them, they would have no chance of escaping.

"good."

Li Hua nodded, "You two should heal your wounds first. Li Qiang and I will stay here."

In fact, Li Hua and Li Qiang were also injured, but their injuries were not as serious as Lin Xiaoman and the others. Moreover, this formation still needed Li Hua to maintain and support it, so he could not rest.

At this moment, they will not be polite. In the face of danger, strength is the best way to save lives!

Lin Xiaoman and Chen Shuyan looked at each other, sat down cross-legged and began to heal their wounds.

Less than a quarter of an hour after they had been healing, Lin Xiaoman heard that the breathing of the Li Hua brothers seemed to be heavier. She quickly opened her eyes to look, and the next moment she almost screamed out in surprise!

What caught her eye was a huge tiger head. She quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from making any sound, then quickly lowered her eyes, not daring to look.

Damn, that Flame Tiger is really cunning and ran back.

Looking at Li Hua and the other two, they were obviously frightened as well. They stood there with pale faces, not daring to move.

Fortunately, this time the Flame Tiger did not stay too long. After gaining nothing, it turned around and left.

After a long while, the three of them looked at each other, and saw the relief of surviving the disaster in each other's eyes.

Lin Xiaoman turned to look at Chen Shuyan, who was calmly healing his wounds, as if he didn't notice anything unusual.

"I have a feeling that the Flame Tiger won't come back. Should we hurry on now?"

Li Hua carefully conveyed the message to Lin Xiaoman, fearing that the sound would attract monsters.

"Okay, I'll wake Shuyan up."

Lin Xiaoman nodded and prepared to go over to wake Chen Shuyan up. As soon as she got close, the other party opened his eyes.

"Are we leaving?"

Lin Xiaoman paused, "You've been awake all this time?"

"With such a powerful sixth-level monster lurking nearby, I can really focus on recovering from my injuries."

Chen Shuyan said with a smile, standing up and stretching his body, ready to set off.

"Let's go, that thing should be gone this time."

"good."

The four of them prepared to set out again. Li Hua carefully removed the formation and continued to stick the invisibility talisman on his body.

The journey was relatively smooth. Halfway through the journey, they encountered a fifth-level monster. With the combined efforts of several people, they managed to kill it, quickly put it into the storage bag, and fled the scene.

Not long after they left, Lin Xiaoman and the others didn't know that the Flame Tiger that had disappeared actually ran over again and sniffed around the scene.

At this time, Lin Xiaoman and others, even if they did not see this scene, ran out as fast as they could, because the chances of them encountering monsters would increase again on the next section of the road.

It seems that as time goes by, that mysterious protection seems to be weakening or even disappearing.

Lin Xiaoman guessed that it was because Xuantian Fuzun's body disappeared and the cave collapsed. There might be some kind of formation inside. Now that the formation has disappeared, the protection is naturally gone.

Fortunately, the further they went, the weaker the monsters they encountered became, and they basically did not encounter any sixth-level monsters. The most dangerous time was when they sensed a powerful breath approaching, and they stopped immediately. Li Hua immediately arranged the formation with tacit coordination. Several people in the formation put invisibility talismans on their bodies and dared not move.

It was a powerful sixth-level monster, the Earthly Evil Bear, which caused the ground to shake as it walked along.

Along the way, the few of them hardly spoke to each other and were only concerned with escaping. Finally, when it was completely dark that day, they left the depths of the misty forest and stepped into the edge area.

"Huh! It's finally out!"

From the moment they stepped into the edge of the misty forest, they felt as if they had come back to life, and their bodies relaxed a lot.

"Finally, we're out. We shouldn't encounter any high-level monsters here anymore."

At most, it is a fourth or fifth level monster. Even if you encounter it, you can still fight it and you can always escape with your life.

The few of them found a place to rest temporarily, and at the same time distributed some of the gains from the journey. They looked down on the low-level monsters, but collected all those above the fourth level.

Lin Xiaoman wanted the monster meat, but Li Hua and Li Qiang didn't need it. So, with this calculation, Lin Xiaoman could still allocate some more monster materials.

"When we get to Qingyun City, we'll take these and sell them, distributing the spirit stones among ourselves."

Li Hua asked suggestively.

"No problem. I'll leave this matter to you two fellow Daoists. Please deposit our two shares at the Tianyan Sect office in Qingyun City when the time comes."

Li Hua was stunned for a moment, but didn't ask any more questions. He nodded. "If you two fellow Taoists trust me, then there's no problem."

Just now he heard Chen Shuyan tell Lin Xiaoman that they were going to a nearby sect to complete a mission.

Although he did not agree with them going on the mission at this time, he could not persuade them too much on what they wanted to do, after all, he was not very familiar with it.

Lin Xiaoman naturally listened to Chen Shuyan. Although their injuries were not fully healed, they still had the strength to fight. She just felt that it was not appropriate for them to do the mission in this state. But since Chen Shuyan had already said so, she would of course support him.

At night, the four of them took turns keeping watch, and early the next morning, both sides separated.

Looking at the backs of the Li Hua brothers leaving, Lin Xiaoman turned to Chen Shuyan in confusion.

"Why do you want to send them away? Is there a problem?"

Chen Shuyan laughed when he heard this, "I didn't expect our Xiaoman to be so perceptive."

She rubbed Lin Xiaoman's head with a laugh, then turned around and ran away to avoid being caught and "retaliated" by Lin Xiaoman.

Lin Xiaoman had no choice but to chase after him, and only then did he hear what Chen Shuyan said.

"It seems fine, but I always feel that I should be more careful. When I go out, I have to be on guard against others."

"Before, in the depths of the Misty Forest, there were dangers everywhere. Infighting among us would only bring greater dangers to ourselves. But now that we are in a safe area, some bad thoughts are easily stirred up."

"Especially since we're both seriously injured and carrying a huge treasure, uh, no, you're a wealthy woman. If they have bad intentions and Li Hua has such a powerful formation, we'll be in big trouble if we face them."
