Bang!
A leg swiftly kicked the ground, leaving a muddy footprint, splashing dirt and making a soft sound.
The kick wasn't very powerful; it was just a casual kick from Jiang Daoguang, but it felt like a swiftly thrown club, almost hitting the little black cat.
Although Lin Xiaofei is only at the peak of the entry level, he possesses strength no weaker than that of someone at the late stage of the inner energy realm. His eyesight, agility, and speed are exceptional, comparable to Jiang Daoguang.
However, to avoid being noticed by Jiang Daoguang, he pretended to be nervous and pulled the little black cat away at lightning speed, revealing a disheveled appearance as if he had almost fallen to the ground.
"snort!"
Seeing Lin Xiaofei grab the little black cat's tail, a hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Daoguang's eyes, and he snorted coldly.
Although it was just a casual kick, he knew very well that it would hit the little black cat, but Lin Xiaofei avoided it. He immediately realized that Lin Xiaofei was not an ordinary peak martial artist, but he didn't care.
"Let's go, I'll lead the way."
Lin Xiaofei held the little black cat, not intending to say anything more. Since the matter was already beyond his control, he would go along with Jiang Daoguang and the others' wishes for now. Once they entered the Red Mountain Forest, he could act as he saw fit.
As for Zhao Weida and the others, they were coerced and lured away by Jiang Daoguang, and since they were willing to go, he couldn't say anything about it.
The deep forest of Hongshan Water Bay is shrouded in mist, making it difficult for ordinary martial artists to detect movements from a distance. However, Lin Xiaofei possesses the Illusionary Eye Technique, which allows him to easily detect movements within a range of two to three thousand meters.
Along the way, Ning Zhengxin was excited and insisted on walking in front. After an hour, he became a little impatient, turned to look at Lin Xiaofei, and questioned him:
Are you sure there's a giant scorpion beast with the strength of the Inner Qi Realm in this godforsaken place?
"After crossing two more mountains, I'll take you into a cave, and you'll see what's going on when you get there."
As Lin Xiaofei spoke, he quickly led the way, striding into the mountains, and the group behind him also quickened their pace.
Half an hour later, Lin Xiaofei suddenly stopped, then scrambled up a large tree not far ahead, looked at a cave on the opposite side of the mountain, and after taking a careful look, jumped down from the tree.
"There is a cave halfway up the mountain opposite. I just observed that the trees and bushes near the cave have been cut by swords and knives. Obviously, someone entered the cave in advance, and the giant scorpion beast that we are hunting is in that cave."
Lin Xiaofei jumped down from the tree and immediately said.
Of course, some of the information he said was false.
If it weren't for Jiang Daoguang usurping the role, he would have told them the truth long ago. However, this time he wasn't in charge of the operation, and might not even get anything in the end, so he simply told them half the truth.
Actually, there was something else he didn't say: he had discovered fifty years' worth of spiritual essence liquid in that cave.
Meanwhile, inside the cave, eight or nine inner disciples were locked in a fierce battle with the giant scorpion, also vying for the Spirit Marrow Liquid.
This time, once Jiang Daoguang and his group enter the cave, they will alert the inner disciples inside. Will the inner disciples then worry that Jiang Daoguang and his group are there to compete for the Spirit Essence Liquid, thus leading to a fight?
That's hard to say.
Upon hearing Lin Xiaofei's words, Jiang Daoguang and the others quickly climbed to the top of the tree and looked towards the cave halfway up the opposite mountain. Their eyes gleamed with excitement as they climbed down from the tree.
"Since someone has entered the cave before us, we must hurry over to prevent them from killing the giant scorpion beast."
However, when you enter that cave, be careful and don't make any loud noise.
Jiang Daoguang spoke to the people around him, then turned to look at Lin Xiaofei and said, "
By the way, hold your little black cat in your arms and don't let it make a sound. That way, we can secretly observe the people who enter the cave.
"I'm warning you upfront: if you ruin things for us, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Lin Xiaofei nodded and hugged the little black cat in his arms, but the little black cat glanced at Jiang Daoguang and seemed to want to break free.
"Okay, I've caught the little black cat. It won't cause you any trouble."
As Lin Xiaofei spoke, he glanced at Zhao Weida, Ma Sandao, and the others, noticing that they all looked happy, clearly unaware of what they were about to face.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Xiaofei said in a low voice:
When we enter the cave, try to stay at the back and don't rush to the front. Once they fight the giant scorpion beast, we won't be able to help; we can just watch from behind.
"Let's wait until they've killed the beasts before we go clean up the battlefield. That way, we'll avoid causing ourselves any trouble."
He thought about how his fellow apprentices who had been hunting the water frigid fish with him recently had treated him quite well, so he wanted to give them a little reminder to avoid any accidents.
"Senior Brother Lin, let's watch the battle up close."
“Yes, if I get closer, I can see Senior Brother Jiang and the others fighting the giant scorpion beast. This way, I can also absorb some combat experience, and maybe in the future, we will also know how to fight the giant scorpion beast.”
Song Qingyun and Zhou Yi quickly spoke up.
The two of them were completely unaware of what was going on, and Jiang Daoguang possessed the strength of the peak of internal energy, which made them envious and eager to watch the battle up close.
As for Ma Sandao and Wang Wu, they nodded in agreement, feeling that this was an opportunity to absorb experience from fighting alien beasts. They knew that it was rare for them to see a martial artist at the Inner Qi Realm kill a powerful alien beast, so they naturally wanted to learn some experience from Jiang Daoguang and the others.
"All right."
Seeing that they all looked excited, Lin Xiaofei nodded and responded.
He understood what Ma Sandao and the others were thinking, so he didn't say much. As for what would happen if they entered the cave, he wasn't too sure, so he didn't try to persuade them.
"You all follow closely behind, and you are not allowed to say another word."
Jiang Daoguang, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped, said something cold to Lin Xiaofei, and then strode towards the opposite hillside.
Lin Xiaofei quickly shut his mouth. Seeing that the others had followed, he sighed inwardly and silently followed at the back, glancing at the cave halfway up the mountain from time to time.
In order to enter the cave as quickly as possible, Jiang Daoguang led his group on a frantic run.
Fortunately, Jiang Daoguang and his men were all highly skilled and fast-moving, and they entered the cave in no time.
A group of people arrived inside the cave and heard voices coming from deep within. They slowed down and cautiously made their way deeper into the cave.
As they drew closer, the group stepped onto the cave floor. Although their steps were light, they still made a slight sound.
At the same time, any sound made inside the cave would echo back.
Deep inside the cave, a group of people were fighting against a giant scorpion beast. However, a robust middle-aged man was standing next to a pool of spiritual essence liquid that looked like a spring, holding two porcelain bottles in one hand and filling them with the spiritual essence liquid.
Suddenly, he frowned slightly, quickly lay down on the ground, listened intently, then stood up and said to the group of people who were fighting the giant scorpion:
Brother Qiu, I heard footsteps coming from inside the cave; I reckon someone is approaching us.
