"Fourth Junior Brother!"
Lu Li was not as close to Ling Mufeng as the roaring monster, and there were also many monsters along the way who rushed forward, risking their lives to block his way.
Therefore, when he arrived, what he saw was a dark, nine-headed bird gathering its power, preparing to strike Ling Mufeng with a fatal blow.
At this moment, Ling Mufeng was covered in wounds, his robes were tattered, his hair was disheveled, and he had lost all ability to resist. He lay on the ground, his righteous energy as weak as a thread.
Just as the deadly blow was about to land on Ling Mufeng, Lu Li used the fastest speed he had ever achieved to save Ling Mufeng from the bird's beak.
Just as he swept Ling Mufeng away from his original spot, the nine-headed bird's attack landed heavily on the spot where Ling Mufeng had just been lying, blasting out a huge crater and sending mud and sand flying everywhere.
If he hadn't taken Ling Mufeng away in time, he would probably be dead by now.
Even someone as composed as Lu Li felt a slight sense of lingering fear at such a scene.
After glancing at Ling Mufeng, who had completely fainted, Lu Li stuffed several pills into his mouth, quickly took out a protective array, activated it, and handed the man over to Little Fire Spirit. He then charged toward the Nine-Headed Bird with a sword full of killing intent.
During this time, he also didn't forget to throw several people around him, whose fates were unknown, into the protective formation.
The little fire spirit knew its master was truly angry, so it didn't cause any trouble. Instead, it obediently fed the people who had been thrown in a low-grade pill to ensure they wouldn't die, and then took on the task of guarding them.
At the same time, it also killed all the monsters that tried to steal people from it.
Of course, it also kept an eye on what was happening at its owner's place.
There was no other way; its owner was currently seriously injured and even weaker than it. As its owner's companion fire, it naturally had to take responsibility for its owner's safety at this time.
"唳~"
However, Little Fire Spirit's worries were obviously unnecessary. Even though Lu Li was still seriously injured, these weaklings from the Rain Rain Continent were no match for him.
After only a few moves, he chopped off one of the nine-headed birds' heads. The nine-headed bird let out a shrill scream and retaliated even more fiercely.
Faced with the nine-headed bird's even more ferocious movements, Lu Li remained calm and composed. After a few more moves, he seized the opportunity and chopped off the nine-headed bird's second head.
This cycle repeated itself until all eight heads of the nine-headed bird fell to the ground. Lu Li's face and body were stained with blood, some of his own, but mostly of the nine-headed bird's.
The nine-headed bird, initially furious, eventually only wanted to escape. Unfortunately, after severely injuring Ling Mufeng, Lu Li would not allow it to live.
No matter which direction it fled in, Lu Li could accurately intercept it and then chop off its head one by one. The feeling of being cut by a dull knife was even more terrifying than killing the opponent directly.
Therefore, the nine-headed bird, now with only one head left, was no longer thinking about how to take revenge, but how to escape. It couldn't afford to mess with this devil, so it could only hide!
However, the idea was beautiful, but reality was cruel. The nine-headed bird tried every method and came up with all sorts of tricks, even summoning all the monsters around it, but it still couldn't escape.
Looking at his subordinates, all dead and torn to pieces, and then at the demon that completely blocked his way out, the nine-headed bird, in order to survive, shamelessly prostrated himself on the ground.
"My lord, please spare me. I am willing to give you all my treasures."
Lu Li remained unmoved by this, his tone still gentle: "Is that so? But if I kill you, all of these will be mine."
Having said that, he didn't bother arguing with the nine-headed bird and decisively swung his sword at its last head.
The nine-headed bird sensed something was wrong when it heard his words and tried to get away.
An irresistible pressure had already locked it in place, rendering it unable to move and forcing it to watch helplessly as the sword cleaved toward its head.
Then, it felt a sharp pain and then felt nothing more. In the instant it breathed its last, it even faintly heard its master's furious voice: "Useless, useless."
The nine-headed bird wanted to refute, but it had already lost its ability and thus perished.
Lu Li, on the other hand, looked at the contract totem that appeared on the nine-headed bird's body and then disappeared in an instant, a cold smile appeared on his lips, and then he burned its corpse without hesitation.
Such an ugly thing, it wouldn't be good if it scared his junior sister.
Thinking of his junior sister, Lu Li quickly tidied himself up, changed into clean clothes, swallowed a pill, and regulated his breathing before releasing Shushu and taking her to see Ling Mufeng.
Ling Mufeng had already woken up and was sitting weakly on the ground. When he saw Lu Li coming over, his usually cold face softened a little: "Thank you, Senior Brother."
After saying that, he looked at the delicate little mouse he was holding in his arms and immediately guessed the identity of Shushu: "You must be Junior Sister. This is a gift from Fourth Senior Brother to you."
Seeing that his fourth senior brother, whom he had never met before, was still giving him a gift even though he was half dead, Shushu hesitated for a moment, unsure whether he should accept it.
"Take it. This was specially prepared for you by your fourth senior brother. Your fifth senior brother also had one back then."
In the end, Lu Li noticed her hesitation, patted her head, and took the gift for her.
Seeing this, Shushu accepted the gift with peace of mind, and then quickly rummaged through his own space to take out various pills and spiritual fruits, put them together, and handed them to Ling Mufeng.
"Thank you, Fourth Senior Brother. This is my return gift."
Ling Mufeng hadn't expected to receive a return gift. He paused, glanced at his senior brother who was raising his eyebrows at him, and finally accepted the gift. The frost on his face melted a little more.
As expected of the disciples chosen by his master, they are all adorable and excellent, Ling Mufeng thought to himself.
When he saw that the storage ring contained exactly what he urgently needed, his eyes lit up, and he decided that he would definitely find more good things for his junior sister in the future.
As for personal protection, let's leave it to his senior brother. You can see he's reluctant to let go of it.
All I can say is that although Ling Mufeng has a somewhat cold personality, his eyes are still very sharp.
However, he didn't say much. He turned his attention to his teammates and was hesitating whether to give them a high-grade pill as well when they woke up one by one.
Meanwhile, deep within the same sky, at the very center of the ancient mansion, a fleeting figure was cursing loudly in a secluded cultivation room.
If you look closely, you can see that the afterimage is already in a state of collapse and is about to disappear at any moment.
