Chapter 126 Where there are many people, there are disputes and treasures
Lin Xiaoman lowered his head and signaled Baibai not to make a sound, while carefully observing the movements of the two teams below.
"It's getting dark, we need to find a place to rest first."
The people below looked around and spoke.
"It's not far from here, and it's still more than half an hour before dark. Let's go there first."
"Yeah, what if someone gets there first..."
"Who?"
Everyone below immediately became alert. Not only them, but Lin Xiaoman, who was eavesdropping in the tree, was also startled and almost stopped breathing. She thought she was discovered.
After all, all those below were cultivators with high-level cultivation in the Qi Refining Stage. She had just reached the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage for less than a year, so if she faced them, she would be killed instantly.
Lin Xiaoman, who was holding the talisman tightly in her hand and ready to run away at any time, suddenly saw a group of people below raising their swords and attacking towards the south. She blinked and looked over, and saw that it was another group of people, and she couldn't help but feel relieved.
Fortunately, it wasn't her who was discovered.
After breathing a sigh of relief silently, Lin Xiaoman continued to watch. She was more suited to being a spectator.
When the two groups faced each other, there was no fighting as Lin Xiaoman had imagined. Instead, both sides were vigilant and did not dare to move forward.
"We are disciples of the Myriad Beast Sect. We are just passing through here today, so we won't disturb you any further."
The person coming from the opposite side turned out to be a disciple of the Wanshou Sect. Lin Xiaoman was surprised and looked over quickly, only to see a cheetah-like monster in the team suddenly raised its head and roared towards her. She was startled and quickly retreated into the tent, covering the tent curtain tightly, not wanting to let a trace of her breath out.
She originally wanted to see if there was Shen Qinglan, whom she knew from the Wanshou Sect, but she didn't expect the monsters there to be so sensitive that she discovered something unusual with just a glance.
“Roar!!!”
"Gale, come back."
Lin Xiaoman only heard the cheetah roar twice before being stopped by someone. He didn't know what controlled it and stopped it from roaring any further, but because of the cheetah's reaction, the atmosphere between the two teams suddenly became tense.
"What do you mean, fellow Daoist? Do you want to start a fight?"
Seeing this, the team under the big tree where Lin Xiaoman was, hurriedly picked up the magic swords they were about to put down and rushed towards the opposite team.
"Fellow Daoist, you misunderstood. I didn't take good care of my beast pet. It had just entered the Misty Forest and was a little overly nervous. It didn't mean anything else."
Seeing that the team here did not immediately take action, the people from the Myriad Beast Sect continued, "We will leave now. We will see you later, fellow Taoists."
After saying this, they all retreated and left the woods.
Lin Xiaoman waited for a long time, but there was no movement in the woods, but he also didn't hear the footsteps of the other team leaving.
What are these people doing?
Could it be that he discovered himself?
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoman didn't dare to move anymore. She didn't know that the people under the tree were also very vigilant. They stared at the direction where the people from Wanshoumen left for a long time without moving.
"Brother Yuan, are they really gone?"
After a long time, a voice came from below. Lin Xiaoman felt relieved, as long as they didn't find him.
"Let's go, but we have to hurry over. I'm afraid they're here for that thing too."
"Ah? Then we have to hurry up and not let them get there first."
"Let's go, speed up." Senior Brother Yuan said in a deep voice, and took the lead to chase in the direction where Wanshoumen left. The others were also very anxious and followed.
Lin Xiaoman's heart was moved. Was there really a treasure? It actually attracted two groups of people at once. What a coincidence! How did she run into them? Should she go or not?
I have treasures, if I don’t use them, I will seem too fresh and dull, fake!
But go ahead, Lin Xiaoman was a little nervous, she only had one life to live, not to mention what the treasure was, there must be a guardian monster or something guarding it, just with these two teams, she couldn't beat anyone.
"Baibai, do you know what treasure they are looking for? Should I follow them?"
After waiting for a long time and making sure that they had all left and could no longer sense her, Lin Xiaoman looked down at the treasure-hunting rat in her arms and asked softly.
"Hmm, Bai Bai didn't sense any special treasure."
Hmm? Isn't this a treasure?
Lin Xiaoman was a little confused. In that case, forget it. It would be hard to join in the fun. She should just go and find her own worry-free grass.
"Okay, then let's continue looking for the Worry-Free Grass and complete the mission first."
"Squeak!" Hmm.
At that moment, Lin Xiaoman no longer paid attention to anything else. He focused on regulating his breathing and practicing, letting Baibai help protect him.
The night passed peacefully. Lin Xiaoman packed up the tent and other things, jumped down the tree with Baibai, and followed the original route to find the way back. No matter why the people from Wanshoumen came, she didn't have the ability to rob them, so she decided to look for her own Worry-Free Grass.
It took more than an hour to finally reach the destination. Looking at the valley in front of them, Lin Xiaoman curled her lips and said, "Baibai, we're here. This valley is where the worry-free grass grows."
"Yeah, congratulations, Master."
Lin Xiaoman stepped into the valley carefully. She remembered the records on the Worry-Free Grass. Although it was a second-level spiritual plant, there was a second-level monster, the Green Leaf Snake, guarding the Worry-Free Grass. Usually, there were two snakes, a male and a female, and they were extremely poisonous.
The worry-free grass is not difficult to find. Not long after entering the valley, Lin Xiaoman discovered the worry-free grass swaying on the stone wall on the right. It was mixed among various vines and grasses. It was very inconspicuous and easy to be overlooked.
If she hadn't walked slowly and carefully, and looked carefully, she would have almost missed it.
“Found it!”
Lin Xiaoman's eyes lit up. He estimated the height and slope of the stone wall, calculating how he would go up to dig the spiritual plants while also being wary of the attacks of the green-leaf snake.
Just as she was thinking about how to dig the worry-free grass, she suddenly heard bursts of fighting coming from the front. Lin Xiaoman was stunned for a moment and quickly dodged to the side to avoid being discovered.
"Baibai, can you sense anything?"
She sensed it carefully and felt that the spiritual energy in the deep valley was fluctuating violently, and there were bursts of fighting sounds. It was obvious that more than one or two people were fighting. She thought of the two teams she had met before. Could it be them?
"A lot of spiritual power."
Baibai sensed it carefully, then looked up at Lin Xiaoman in confusion and said softly.
"Yeah, there's so much spiritual power, what should we do? We haven't dug up the worry-free grass yet, why do we keep encountering it here?"
Lin Xiaoman was worried. Although the two were some distance apart, if she went to dig the Worry-Free Grass, it would definitely attract the attack of the Green Leaf Snake. When the fight started, there would also be fluctuations in spiritual power. Since she could detect the fighting on the other side, then if she started fighting here, the other side would definitely be able to detect it as well.
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Xiaoman gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, since we can't move for the time being, let's go and join in the fun."
