Chapter 31 A Close Call
Everyone wanted to rush to his aid, but the invisible snake was too close to Li Liang, just as its mouth was about to touch Li Liang's neck.
An arrow formed of energy shot over from a distance, piercing through the invisible snake and pinning it to the ground. Then, a spiritual form of a hawk flew down from above and seized another earth-type snake.
This spirit creature had glossy black feathers with a metallic sheen and powerful claws. It could have easily grabbed the snake's body, but it didn't. Instead, it used its sharp nails to pierce the snake's flesh before finally managing to lift it up.
What an incredibly high level of talent! The two strange beasts they fought to the death were like easy prey in front of this spiritual entity.
Soon the two beasts had their cores removed. Just then, a sound came from deep within the forest, and a team of people dressed in black combat uniforms emerged from there.
When Li Liang and his two companions saw the approaching figures, they quickly went over and saluted. "Commander of the Legion, Chief of Staff."
Gu Qing sat on the tree and looked down. There was a team of 12 people, all in black combat uniforms, tall, strong and fierce.
He was clearly a high-level fighter who had been through many battles, and his aura was terrifying.
It was her unabashed gaze that drew the attention of the people below. Before Gu Qing could look away, they all met the gazes of a row of raised heads.
The man at the front had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and his slightly furrowed brows made him look even colder. On the other hand, the person who was half a step away from him had a gentler temperament and a very delicate and pleasing appearance.
When he saw Gu Qing, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but no one noticed.
Everyone noticed that their gazes unconsciously turned upwards and stared at her. As soon as they saw Gu Qing, they all subconsciously restrained their imposing aura, but they still stared at her.
Gu Qing was surrounded by people like a monkey in a zoo tree. She couldn't just do nothing, so she held Xiao Yunduo in one hand, grabbed the tree trunk, and stretched out the other hand to wave it.
"Hi guys."
Her words made everyone else blush.
But one person still stepped forward. He had short, dark hair that didn't make him look bad, and his youthful features made it easy for people to lower their guard.
"Hey beautiful, you've climbed up a tree. Do you need me to carry you down?"
Seeing that someone remembered her, Gu Qing opened her arms. "Thank you for your help."
The man was stunned for a moment, but quickly grinned and then leaped up the tree trunk.
He jumped down with her in his arms, landing smoothly without any bumps. Because Gu Qing let go, the little cloud floated right next to her head.
As soon as she stepped out of that person's arms, everyone stared at her with intense admiration. After all, having a spiritual body proved one was an Awakened One, and such a non-aggressive spiritual body proved one was an Awakened Purifier.
Gu Qing thanked the person who carried her down. "My name is Gu Qing, thank you for carrying me down."
The man smiled broadly. "My name is Rong An. Gu Qing, are you a purifier? Did you just arrive recently?"
"Yes! I've only been here for less than three months. Thank you for your help earlier, Rong An. I'll head over now."
Gu Qing came to Li Liang and the others and asked them with concern, "How are you? Are you hurt?"
The boys following Bo Chuan were all green with envy. These guys only had B-level abilities, so how come they got the favor of the Purifier?
Even though Zhang Ze and the others are usually lively, they were somewhat reserved in front of Bo Chuan and his team, feeling the attention of the special forces brothers.
The three of them felt like they were being torn apart by the gazes of these people. "Hehe, it's nothing, just a little dirty."
Just then, a man in the group walked over and put his arm around Li Liang. "I'm telling you, brother, you're no good. You've made yourself look so pathetic over such a small trouble."
Our pioneering team can't be this weak, otherwise who would feel comfortable marrying you?
"This is trying to sow discord. You're not stupid." As soon as he said this, he was glared at by the three people, but the man didn't care and took his arm down, flicking off non-existent dust from his body.
With a smile on his face, he stepped forward and said, "Hello, Purifier Gu. My name is Chen Xingheng, an A-level talent fighter."
Although this person is somewhat flawed, it's forgivable that he's willing to go to great lengths for me. "Hello Chen Xingheng, I am Gu Qing, an F-level Purifier."
Her gaze towards the others was somewhat complicated as she introduced them, but Chen Xingheng didn't show any other reaction. "Is Gu the Purifier your purifier? She's so cute."
Upon hearing this, Little Cloud puffed out her cheeks and her mouth turned into a circle.
Bo Chuan looked at the little cloud trying so hard to be cute, raised an eyebrow but said nothing. Zhu Jian's smiling expression remained unchanged, but a glint of light flashed in her eyes.
Gu Qing then remembered it and quickly put the little cloud back into her mental image. At this moment, Bo Chuan's voice came, which was indeed very much in line with his temperament.
Calm and decisive, he said, "It's getting late, let's get the team together and head back." After saying that, he looked over.
Gu Qing immediately understood what he meant and quickly nodded. "We'll go back together, but there's something else."
Bo Chuan frowned but said nothing, waiting for her to continue.
Gu Qing pointed to the withered tree that had been split in two and collapsed. "I need to see what's on it. If I'm not mistaken, it should be edible."
Everyone looked over and saw strange things growing on the withered tree trunk, resembling fish scales. They all frowned; what were those things? Were they edible, growing inside the trunk?
Ignoring their stares, Gu Qing quickly ran over, took out her device, and tested it. "Ding, tested positive for pure food, non-toxic and safe to eat."
The sound wasn't loud, but all the fighters present heard it clearly, so they quickly gathered around.
Then I saw Gu Qing tear off a piece and put it in her mouth. Hmm, it's a familiar taste. This is black fungus.
Seeing this, others carefully tore off a piece and put it in their mouths. They didn't taste it first, but rather felt the energy within.
