In the dense forest, two stunning beauties were walking one after the other.

The girl walking in front was still young and petite. She held a long sword that shone with silver light and kept hacking at the thorns that covered the road. Just looking at the way she hacked, it seemed that she was more venting her anger than clearing the way.

The woman walking behind, who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, smiled at the petite girl in front and said, "Sister Lin, are you really so angry about going with me? But I remember that it was you who took the initiative to ask to go with me."

The petite girl looked back at her and snorted, "You're asking even though you already know the answer!"

The woman didn't take it seriously and said with a smile, "Sister Lin, Master Feng entrusted you to me. If you encounter any danger, I won't be able to explain to Master Feng."

The petite girl rolled her eyes at her and said unhappily, "Come on! You say you care about my safety, but in fact, I'm afraid you're just hoping that a monster will come out and eat me! This way, you can get close to Brother Shao with a legitimate reason!"

The woman sighed and said, "Sister Lin, how could you miss me like this? Although I do have a crush on Mr. Feng, I don't want him to lose his lover. Besides, you are a few years younger than me, shouldn't I take care of you a little more?"

The petite girl said, "I can do whatever I want, you don't need to control me! With the sword and defensive magic weapon that Brother Shao gave me, even if a demon beast with the strength of Taiqing Realm suddenly appears, I can deal with it! Even if I can't deal with it, I can run away!"

After saying that, the petite girl no longer paid attention to the woman behind her and continued walking forward while cutting thorns.

These two people are Lin Xiaoran and Shao Yunqing.

The reason why Feng Shao put these two people into a separate team was mainly due to safety considerations.

In order to open up a safe area, Feng Shao decided to first clear out the monsters in the surrounding dense forests. In this operation, he brought almost all the people from Taiwei Sect with him, and the main purpose was to train everyone's actual combat capabilities.

Among these people, those at Tongmai Realm were able to protect themselves, while those at Xiantian Realm were the main combat force. As for those at Foundation Building Realm, their main goal was to observe the combat skills of others and learn the ability to adapt to changing circumstances in combat. So for Feng Shao and the others, the more people there were, the better. Instead, it was the opposite.

Once they encounter a difficult monster, Feng Shao and his companions can defend themselves even if they can't beat them; even if they can't defend themselves, they can run away. But when there are people of lower realms around them, they have to take care of their safety first, so their mission has an additional item of "ensuring the safety of team members". At critical moments, they need to take on the responsibility of covering the rear.

Taking this into consideration, Feng Shao did not assign any team members to Lin Xiaoran and Shao Yunqing. As for their requirements, Feng Shao was also very simple, that is, "fight if you can fight, and run away if you can't fight."

Shao Yunqing was very smart and understood Feng Shao's intention immediately. Before leaving, Feng Shao privately asked Shao Yunqing to take care of Lin Xiaoran. In Feng Shao's eyes, no matter how strong or weak Lin Xiaoran was, she was still a child, and she was willful in many cases. When he was around, he could let her be willful. But if he was not around, it was hard to say what would happen.

Facing Feng Shao's request, Shao Yunqing was filled with envy and said quietly, "Sister Lin is so lucky to be favored by Master Feng."

Feng Shao smiled and said, "This is also my luck."

After hearing this, Shao Yunqing wanted to cry even more.

Why is such a good husband not mine?

Shao Yunqing was not only envious of Lin Xiaoran, but also jealous.

But since Feng Shao had asked her for help, she didn't want to disappoint Feng Shao. So along the way, she kept persuading Lin Xiaoran to be careful and not walk too fast.

It's a pity that Lin Xiaoran disliked Shao Yunqing more than she liked her. She always remembered that this woman was always thinking about her husband, so she didn't want to do anything Shao Yunqing asked her to do. The two walked and talked all the way, and before they knew it, they were getting deeper and deeper into the dense forest.

Although Shao Yunqing had been targeted by Lin Xiaoran all along the way, she knew in her heart that Lin Xiaoran was just spoiled since childhood, so he was a little willful, but his nature was not bad. In addition, she acted with Lin Xiaoran, in addition to taking care of Lin Xiaoran's safety, she also wanted to build a good relationship with Lin Xiaoran.

For Shao Yunqing, it can be considered a way to "save the country in a roundabout way."

Along the way, the two encountered various monsters many times. However, the strength of these monsters was generally not very strong, and even Lin Xiaoran could kill them alone with his sword. Over time, they gradually let down their guard and began to rush to attack monsters when they encountered them.

In terms of strength alone, this two-person team is the strongest among the four teams. After all, they don't need to take others into consideration like the other teams. However, their speed far exceeds that of other teams, and they unconsciously open up a considerable distance from the other teams.

After easily killing another monster, Lin Xiaoran stepped on the monster's huge head and said to Shao Yunqing proudly, "How is it? My strength is not worse than yours, right? I have said it before, even if you are one level higher than me, I am not necessarily weaker than you!"

"Yes, yes, sister Lin, you are the master of the secret skills of the Lin and Xiao families. How can someone like me who comes from a small place compare to you?" Shao Yunqing said as he squatted down and began to deal with the monster's corpse. The monster pill in the monster's body is a good thing, and it cannot be let go so easily.

Lin Xiaoran was from a wealthy family, but he looked down upon these demon pills. At first, Lin Xiaoran wanted to give up the demon pills, but unexpectedly, Shao Yunqing said, "After you marry Mr. Feng in the future, will you continue to be so extravagant?"

Lin Xiaoran asked dissatisfiedly: "It's just a few demon pills, how can you be considered extravagant?"

Shao Yunqing said leisurely, "You grew up in Yunjian Pavilion, and you have the best food, clothing, and daily necessities. You naturally don't understand why people like us who come from ordinary families would like such a worthless thing in your eyes. Master Feng came from Taiwei Sect, and I think you know what the situation of Taiwei Sect is. As far as I know, if Master Feng kills this kind of monster, not only the monster pill, but also the hide and meat will be packed away, so that he can improve the food for his junior brothers and sisters."

At this point, Shao Yunqing said with emotion: "You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are until you run the household. Master Feng has been the head of Taiwei Sect for nearly thirty years, and he has long regarded thrift as an instinct. Even if he becomes rich one day, I think Master Feng will not want to waste a single valuable thing. Sister Lin, as your elder sister, I have to advise you that if you don't change your wasteful character, maybe one day you two will quarrel over such a small matter."

Lin Xiaoran felt that Shao Yunqing's words were a bit sensational. Just because of such a worthless thing, is it worth quarreling? She was about to refute, but she saw Shao Yunqing suddenly slap his forehead, looking annoyed: "Oh no! Why did I tell you all these things? In fact, it's good for you two to quarrel! If you quarrel, I might have a chance!"

Lin Xiaoran: “…”

As expected, I can’t treat you as a good person!

Although Lin Xiaoran was skeptical about Shao Yunqing's words, she was also very aware of Feng Shao's habit of being frugal. So after hesitating for a while, she decided to learn to be frugal. If for nothing else, just so that Brother Shao could praise her more after returning!

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoran began to deal with the monster's corpse.

At the same time, only two or three miles away from the two women, a young man was also walking in the dense forest.

"According to the jade pendant's guidance, the Ice Soul Blue Grass should be not far from here. However, all natural treasures must be guarded by spirit beasts. When you see the Ice Soul Blue Grass later, you must be careful."

The boy muttered to himself and continued walking forward.

After a while, the view in front of the boy suddenly became clear. The dense trees came to an abrupt end here, and the front became a vast grassland.

This patch of grassland was about several hundred meters in radius, and it seemed insignificant compared to the vast forest. However, there was no tree in such a large patch of grassland, which was obviously strange.

The young man couldn't help but show excitement, because he knew that what he was looking for should be here.

He did not walk directly to the grass, but looked around carefully. The grass and the surrounding dense forest were quiet, not even a bird could be seen. But in the middle of the grass, a blue grass suddenly grew. The grass was blue and faintly revealed a little chill. At a glance, it was obvious that it was not an ordinary thing.

The boy's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

That’s right, this is the Ice Soul Blue Grass!

However, just behind the Ice Soul Blue Grass, there lay a giant wolf with snow-white and blue stripes all over its body. The giant wolf was seven or eight meters long, and if it stood up, it would probably be at least three or four meters tall.

It seems that this giant wolf is the guardian beast of the Ice Soul Blue Grass.

The boy lay quietly in the dense forest, observing the giant wolf from afar. He recognized that the giant wolf should be the blue-striped snow wolf. It is said that the blue-striped snow wolf is ferocious and can control ice and snow. It is a rare monster that can cast spells naturally. With his ability, if he wakes up the blue-striped snow wolf, I am afraid that the blue-striped snow wolf only needs to sneeze to freeze him into ice.

But the Ice Soul Blue Grass in front of it was his goal. Therefore, he had to provoke this blue-striped snow wolf.

He looked around, his eyes rolled, and he immediately came up with a good idea.

He estimated in his mind that the success rate of this method should be more than 80%. He looked at the blue-striped snow wolf with a gleam of light in his eyes.

I must get this Ice Soul Blue Grass!
