monster
Only after the monster came closer did Xiao Ze see its full appearance and recognize what this strange creature was.
This beast is called the Dragon-like, with a dragon head and a deer body, and a long tail. The tip of this tail has a poisonous spike. If you are stung by it within an hour without an antidote, you will die.
What is even more troublesome is that it moves extremely fast. For these disciples who have just established their foundation, the chances of surviving under its tail are extremely small.
Luckily, this monster's senses aren't particularly sharp, so all we have to do is keep quiet and wait for it to leave. Hopefully, the others will be more understanding and keep quiet.
"Crack!" The sound of the branch breaking was particularly harsh in the quiet night. I didn't expect this branch to be so weak. It was useless for it to grow so thick.
Hearing the sound, the monster that was about to leave turned around and ran quickly towards the place where everyone was hiding. The sharp-eyed hiding place had been discovered, and everyone jumped down and gathered towards where Su Qingjun and Zhou Miao were, seeking shelter.
But it was too late.
Fortunately, it didn't use its tail and seemed to treat the fleeing people as amusing toys. However, it was too large, and if it accidentally hit someone, it would be seriously injured at best, or even killed outright.
Seeing that these new disciples could not escape, Su Qingjun came to the monster alone with his sword in hand to attract its attention. At the same time, he loudly urged the disciples to find a hiding place farther away as soon as possible.
But the monster was extremely cunning, as if it knew that Su Qingjun was not afraid of it. It made a feint and turned around to rush towards the disciple who had not yet had time to escape. The man was frightened and stood there stupidly, his legs and feet weak, unable to move a step.
Su Qingjun had no choice but to stand in front of the man in time and bear the impact of the giant beast. A mouthful of blood rushed up his throat and Su Qingjun spat out a small mouthful of blood.
Seeing that its attack was blocked, the giant beast became a little angry and began to swing its tail.
The sharp spikes on the tail flashed a cold light and attacked the two people. The frightened man struggled as if he was suddenly awakened from a dream, broke free from Su Qingjun's arms that wanted to pull him away, and slapped Su Qingjun in the heart.
Su Qingjun didn't have time to get angry. He quickly turned around to block the attack and swung his sword at its tail. However, the beast's fur was too tough, and the blow only caused it a slight pain.
The poisonous stinger turned in the direction of the sword and headed straight for Su Qingchuan's face. The stinger was already in front of him, and his mind went blank. He felt that the sharp stinger was about to pierce him when a strong arm wrapped around his waist, pulled him away, and avoided this fatal blow.
The giant beast became even more violent because its attack missed and its tail was injured.
The two of them stood at a distance. Su Qingjun looked at Xiao Ze, who was still holding her tightly in his arms, and moved his lips slightly: "Thank... Thank you." It was the first time he was so close to death.
There was no time to say anything more. The giant beast began to attack everyone indiscriminately, and some people had already been hit by its tail stinger.
Taking Su Qingjun away from the chaotic place, they watched the frenzied beast from afar. Both of them understood that if they didn't kill the beast, they would never be able to leave here alive tonight.
"Senior Brother, can you penetrate the fur of this giant beast with your full strength attack?" Xiao Ze asked.
"Yes." Su Qingjun was very sure about this.
"I have a way to kill this beast."
"What method?"
"I'll go and attract the beast's attention later..."
"No!" Xiao Ze was stopped by Su Qingjun before he could finish his plan: "You're going to attract attention. Do you know how dangerous that is? If you're not careful, you'll lose your life!"
"But senior brother, are you still counting on that group of people to kill the giant beast?" Looking at the people fleeing in all directions not far away and seeing that they were completely vulnerable, Su Qingjun fell silent.
"If we don't kill the beast, we'll die anyway, so we might as well give it a try."
"But..." Su Qingjun still didn't want to agree.
"It's settled." Xiao Ze didn't give him a chance to refute.
He took out a porcelain bottle from his backpack and handed it to Su Qingjun: "Brother, before you stab the beast, pour this bottle of tree sap on your sword. Remember not to touch it."
Looking at the familiar white sap in the porcelain bottle, Su Qingjun nodded with a heavy expression.
"Senior brother, my life is in your hands." Xiao Ze said with a relaxed tone and a smile, without any sign of tension or panic.
After saying that, he took out his sword, rushed straight towards the beast, and slashed at its eyes with the sword.
The giant beast was almost blinded and completely enraged. It focused all its attention on Xiao Ze, revealing its murderous intent.
Xiao Ze dodged the giant beast's attack with some difficulty, secretly praying in his heart that Su Qingjun would end the battle quickly, as he would soon be unable to hold on.
After Xiao Ze attracted the giant beast's attention, Su Qingjun rushed over as fast as he could and flew onto its back. Because its fur was too thick and its attention was completely drawn to Xiao Ze, it did not notice that there was a person standing on it.
Pouring the white sap onto the sword and gathering all the spiritual power in his body, Su Qingjun stabbed the giant beast with all his strength.
The sword blade penetrated deeply into the giant beast's body. The giant beast cried out in pain and threw Su Qingjun, whose spiritual power had been exhausted, off its body.
Just as Xiao Ze breathed a sigh of relief, he saw a familiar figure falling from the giant beast. He quickly used his spiritual power to catch the person and held him in his arms.
Xiao Ze was a little confused, thinking that he had miscalculated. Logically speaking, Su Qingjun's Golden Core Perfection shouldn't be in this state at that time.
After taking out a few Huiyuan Pills and feeding them into Su Qingjun's mouth, he slowly recovered, but he was still leaning very weakly in Xiao Ze's arms, and could only stand firm with the help of the arm that was still around his waist.
He took out a few Huiyuan pills and healing pills and fed them into his mouth. Seeing that his complexion gradually improved, Xiao Ze was slightly relieved.
A man with a pale face walked towards this side. Xiao Ze looked closely and thought, wow, isn’t this the god who pushed Su Qingjun towards the poisonous sting? He actually had the nerve to come over here!
"Master... Senior Brother, I'm sorry. I was so scared at the time. I didn't mean it." The man had a sad face and looked very gloomy. Su Qingjun leaned in Xiao Ze's arms, not wanting to talk. He was filled with dissatisfaction at having his world of two interrupted, and scolded this weak and clueless disciple.
Seeing Su Qingjun leaning "weakly" in his arms with his head resting on his shoulder, Xiao Ze concluded that he was seriously injured and spoke to the disciple in a bad tone.
"Oh~, it wasn't intentional, but you still managed to wave your palm and let Senior Brother be your shield. I think this brother is truly a genius. Even when he was scared silly, his mind was still able to work so quickly!"
Xiao Ze directly saw through the man's dirty thoughts. His face turned red, but he subconsciously retorted: "No...no." In the end, he couldn't say anything clear.
"Xiao Ze, you're going too far." A disciple who was always a good guy stood up.
"Shut up, you are not a good person either." Xiao Ze opened fire at full force and attacked everyone present indiscriminately.
"You just keep hiding. What's the matter? Do you think you can kill this giant beast by yourself?"
"Senior brother is also a human being and can get hurt. Why should he always risk his own safety to protect you, a bunch of bad-tempered and useless losers?" These people have never been scolded like this before, and all of them have angry faces.
Finally, someone couldn't help but say, "He's the eldest brother, shouldn't he protect us?"
"Why should Senior Brother protect you? Didn't you choose the path of cultivation and come to the secret realm?"
The group was speechless after being scolded.
Jiang Xi was shocked. When had he ever seen Xiao Ze like this? He was really the type to make a big splash when he did.
Su Qingjun buried her face in Xiao Ze's shoulder, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, her eyes filled with tiny smiles, and she looked in a good mood.
Ignoring these ungrateful ungrateful people, Xiao Ze helped Su Qingjun to rest under a nearby tree. Seeing his slightly reddened face, he couldn't help but say, "Brother, everyone has their own destiny. Don't save others without caring about your own safety in the future."
If he hadn't reacted quickly this time, Su Qingjun would have been killed by his "own people".
"Well, I won't do that again." Su Qingjun agreed quickly. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that if Xiao Ze was in danger, he would still save him at all costs. This time, he really didn't expect that the disciple would harm him. If he had known this, he would not have saved him.
Jiang Xi was also injured, but not seriously. He was knocked down and scratched by someone who was running around while he was running around.
He carefully tended to the wound on his arm, watching the harmonious atmosphere between Xiao Ze and Su Qingjun not far away, and he felt a surge of resentment. Xiao Ze, this sycophant, was simply attracted by Su Qingjun's high status and advanced cultivation within the sect. He didn't know what dirty tricks he had used to attract his attention. No wonder he had been so determined to cut ties with him earlier.
He was unwilling, very unwilling. Someone like Su Qingjun should be his! They were the most suitable for each other.
The two people here didn't notice Jiang Xi's dark eyes at all, and were completely immersed in their own world. Su Qingjun felt like she was dreaming and was so happy that she was about to burst into bubbles.
This trip to the secret realm ended quickly. Although the secret realm had abundant spiritual energy, Xiao Ze was stuck at the Perfect Foundation Establishment stage and could not advance. He always felt that something was missing.
The green gate reappeared and everyone walked out of the secret realm one after another.
As soon as he went out, Xiao Ze saw the conspicuous fairy ship of Tianxuan Sect. The sect leader standing at the bow looked at the people coming out of the secret realm and found that there were a lot more people than those from other sects. He nodded with satisfaction.
After returning to the sect, there will be three days of rest. After three days, the sect will decide whether each person will stay or leave based on their cultivation level and performance in the secret realm. Those who are qualified to stay can choose to stay or leave.
"Ah! So comfortable!" Xiao Ze performed a cleansing spell on himself and pounced onto the soft bed.
During the more than half a year in the secret realm, he was terrified every day and couldn't sleep well. He either slept on the ground or on the trees. If he wasn't a monk, he would have died suddenly.
Lying on the comfortable bed, Xiao Ze soon fell into a deep sleep.
When I opened my eyes again, I found that the room was bright. I walked out and saw a familiar figure sitting at the table with his back to me.
Hearing the footsteps, Su Qingjun turned around, a smile on her face: "You're awake." Then she walked over to help Xiao Ze straighten his clothes that were a little messy from sleeping. "I secretly went down the mountain and bought a lot of food that you like."
Looking at the full table, a feeling of happiness lingered in his heart. Xiao Ze looked at Su Qingjun's handsome face and suddenly grabbed one of his hands: "Having you as a friend is not in vain."
Su Qingjun's face froze: Who wants to be friends with you?!
But Xiao Ze obviously only regarded him as a friend now, and if he confessed rashly, he would probably not even be able to be friends.
Thinking about the news I had heard before, I thought bitterly: Although Xiao Ze had said before that he had drawn a clear line between himself and Jiang Xi and didn't want to be entangled anymore, maybe he still liked Jiang Xi in his heart! What if my sudden confession scared him and Jiang Xi took advantage of the opportunity to swoop in...
The thought of this makes me so angry that my teeth itch.
Xiao Ze looked at Su Qingjun's suddenly changed expression and wondered if he had said something wrong. He was about to say something else to divert attention when he saw that man return to normal. He enthusiastically pulled him to sit at the table and opened the things he bought one by one and handed them to him.
Xiao Ze was afraid of saying something wrong again, so he buried his head in eating and soon he was completely immersed in the delicious food.
Both of them were strong men, and the food on the table was quickly finished. Touching their slightly protruding stomachs, they felt a sense of satisfaction: Life like this is still wonderful!
Looking at Su Qingjun, who was busy cleaning the table like a little bee, Xiao Ze suddenly thought of this person's future ending. After hesitating for a while, he finally spoke: "Brother, can I ask you a question?"
"Ask." Su Qingjun put down what he was holding, sat down again, and looked at Xiao Ze.
"What do you think of Jiang Xi?"
Seeing Xiao Ze's cautious expression, Su Qingjun could no longer suppress the jealousy in her heart: "This person is timid and cowardly, but has a deep mind. It is not suitable to make friends with him."
After hearing this, and considering Su Qingjun's behavior in the secret realm, Xiao Ze already felt that it was impossible for him to like Jiang Xi. But to be on the safe side, Xiao Ze asked again, "Brother, do you think you might fall in love with him in the future?"
Su Qingjun was so angry that she almost laughed when she heard this. She almost cursed at him just now. How could Xiao Ze think that he would fall in love with Jiang Xi?
"I will never fall in love with him." Su Qingjun said word by word.
Hearing his resolute words, Xiao Ze finally felt relieved: "That's good. I also think that Jiang Xi is not suitable for close friendship. Brother, you must stay away from him from now on."
"The same to you."
"Yeah." Xiao Ze nodded perfunctorily in agreement. He wanted to stay away from Jiang Xi, but the mission was not yet completed.
After tidying up the things on the table, Su Qingjun took out several things from his Qiankun bag and placed them on the table.
Looking at the accessories and magical instruments that were obviously of high quality, Xiao Ze felt that he had been moved too many times today: "Senior Brother..."
Su Qingjun's inner thoughts: He is so much better than Jiang Xi, I don't believe that Xiao Ze doesn't like me!
"You have already completed your foundation building and will soon advance to the Golden Core stage. Your current sword and magical instruments are no longer sufficient. These things are no longer of much use to me, but they will be of different benefit to you. Put them away quickly."
Xiao Ze knew that what he said made sense, and he didn't have enough money to buy it at the moment, so he put all the things away and secretly made up his mind: a good person like Su Qingjun must not be harmed by Jiang Xi.
