"Don't make a deal with the devil."

"Are you Fang Huan?"

The captain wanted to confirm, he hoped that this man would shake his head and say no, otherwise, they would have something he didn't want to happen after only meeting once. This middle-aged man didn't like strangers, not to mention that he was extremely troublesome, and the man in front of him who was full of flames also gave him a very difficult feeling, like a lamp that was very fuel-efficient.

The man actually knew that he was asking knowingly, but in his mind, this lay believer named Fang Huan had already gotten rid of the possibility that he was Xia Xiao, because the faint Buddha light emanating from him was weak but real.

Before the Buddha's light was a flame, but even the brightest fire could not dispel the darkness of the world at that moment, let alone drive away the coldness in it. However, the faint Buddha's light on Xia Xiao's body made him feel like tofu touching a sharp blade the moment he stood in front of the six people. It was like he had encountered a powerful natural enemy.

As an experienced adventurer, the captain knew that there were only two types of people who could travel through this grassland: one was a cultivator with strong enough strength, and the other was a monk who had attained enlightenment in Tanghua Temple. The former could be the latter, but the latter were not necessarily all cultivators. But a breath of Buddha's breath was the best proof of being a Buddhist. However, if you want to cultivate to that level, it would take decades. But from the back, Fang Huan looked no more than 20 years old, or even not that age yet.

The captain had never seen Fang Huan's face clearly. He was wearing a veil when they first met, and this time he was covered in flames, but the Buddha's light made him quickly let down his guard. They were in the rapids, holding on to the thick branch tightly, not daring to let go, because the movement around them was even louder than before.

The captain paid a price when he first saw the unknown creatures in the wilderness. After that, he dreamed of himself alone in the wilderness, shrouded in endless darkness in the desolate and desperate wind, with huge monsters surging and tearing their claws at him. Such scenes appeared in his mind all the time, and at this moment, the dream and reality overlapped and suddenly appeared in their eyes, making it difficult for them to think of anything else and deeply shocked.

The world had long been in such chaos that only a monotonous black color remained. An invisible gale began to blow, whistling in a terrifying manner. The monsters in the world looked at Xia Xiao, and stretched out their pitch-black hands from all directions, like spears, trying to pierce everyone's chest, but they stopped in front of Xia Xiao's momentum.

For these unconscious guys, attacking living things was just instinct, like a white shark attracted by blood. However, Xia Xiao's existence was so special that it frightened them for just a moment, and they even had the inclination to flee.

The weeds were chopped into countless pieces and echoed around the six people. The young man asked what happened, but who knows now? The captain was not sure why those unknown creatures in the darkness were so manic. He could only listen to the sound of the wind, his heart was extremely chaotic and he couldn't calm down. Life and death are in a moment, no one knows what will happen next.

Will the goddess of luck smile or cry gracefully with her face covered?

The six people looked around at a loss, and finally focused their eyes on Fang Huan. He could see that the main body of these grievances was nothing more than some undead spirits, which turned into demons in this special wasteland. However, even if they felt the pressure from Xia Xiao, they did not leave immediately, but hesitated.

Xia Xiao gave them a very strange feeling, making it difficult for them to judge whether he was light or darkness, so they stared at him for a long time. Xia Xiao exuded Buddha's light all over his body, and there was also black and red devil energy in the depths of his eyes. He looked at the world through the Buddha's light and darkness, and after shocking them, he made them stop their last few small movements and completely quiet down.

Blinking his eyes suddenly, Xia Xiao did not expect such a reaction. He just looked around at the unknown creature in the darkness that looked like a wolf spirit, and said to the six people behind him:

“Follow me!”

The six of them had already lost their composure, and even the captain was stunned for a long time in the slightly cold wind. But his reaction was still good. When the five people around him were frightened and still shouting for their mothers in their hearts, he was able to speak in a deep voice:

"Walk!"

The cold voice awakened the five people, forcing them to barely keep up with Xia Xiao's footsteps and not fall into the darkness. The surroundings were still so dark, and although there were no claws, they felt very dangerous. In the face of such danger, only the slightly thin figure in front was worth relying on.

The captain stared at Xia Xiao's back, and was very curious. How could a lay disciple have such strength? But he was thinking more about how to distance himself from the matter. A few words of thanks were obviously not enough to compare with his six lives, but in front of a lay disciple, talking about money seemed useless.

He sighed, prompting the young adventurer to ask:

"Captain, we finally survived, why are you not happy?"

"Shut up!"

The young adventurer knew this would happen, and secretly rolled his eyes. Although he was much safer now, he still carried his bag because he didn't know what was going on. He held the knife tightly in his hand, as if he could pull it out at any time. However, if these things in the dark could be killed with ordinary knives, there would be no need for Tanghua Temple to send so many monks to pray for their souls every year.

"Where are we going?"

The young man asked the brother next to him, but he shook his head and just followed the captain, or rather, the man in the front named Fang Huan.

Xia Xiao did not wait for them, but walked back slowly. He did not have a lantern, so he walked very slowly every step because he was afraid of falling. But in the eyes of the six people behind him, his speed was not slow, at least it was a normal walking speed. But those ordinary footsteps made the six people feel anxious because of their panic, because they were afraid of not being able to keep up, and they did not dare to get too close.

It was disrespectful to get too close, but if you couldn't keep up, you would be swallowed by the darkness. Although everything around was calm, like only a few weak ripples on the sea, there were still huge beasts under the sea. In the darkness, the hunters stared at them intently.

The darkness was extremely silent, with only the sound of their footsteps moving forward. No one knew where this road led to, but for now, it seemed to be Fang Huan's temporary residence. The girl from Bai Ri should also be there. This combination made the captain think of Xia Xiao and A Zhu, a couple who had been rumored for a long time.

In fact, when they first met, he was very skeptical and even wanted to report it, but when they really headed south, he gave up the idea.

How could Xia Xiao fall into a trap? If he really reached the tail of the wild beast, he escaped from the net, how could he not be injured at all? His breath was indeed undetectable. After experiencing life and death, the captain used his keen observation skills again and felt the faint hot energy in the air. However, releasing them at this time seemed like a deliberate perfunctory and disguise after noticing his actions.

So suspicious!

The captain frowned, but gradually, the darkness came to an end, and finally a little light appeared in front of him. It was the color of fire, and it was also hot in contrast to the cold. They were facing it and felt that they saw some hope, like a new dawn. Xia Xiao, who had his back to them, had a cunning look in his eyes.

"It's safe."

Xia Xiao said softly, took the last step, bid farewell to the darkness of the night, and walked towards the thick flames as if throwing himself into the dazzling light. The moment the captain looked up, Xia Xiao formed a seal with lightning speed, making the evil spirit return to the fire space, and then appeared in front of Ah Zhu in the blink of an eye.

Xia Xiao gently put the veil on Ah Zhu, and his eyes were full of doting, as if this action was not for any other reason, but simply because he didn't want others to see Ah Zhu's face. That sense of security made Ah Zhu smile beautifully for some reason, and she no longer felt anxious, and leaned in Xia Xiao's arms.

Xia Xiao has always liked the word "Wan Qian". Rather than saying that he resisted thousands of demons, it is better to say that he released thousands of Buddha lights for Ah Zhu. At this time, the light had not disappeared yet, which made the captain's eyes full of curiosity, and the extinguished warning candle was revived.
