Then, looking outside, he saw the first Death Mantis facing attacks from two other Death Mantises. It was already being steadily defeated, and finally, unwilling to give up, it fled in defeat. In this situation, if it chose to continue fighting, its only fate would be to become the belly of the other two Death Mantises.
"Mother, there are so many people outside, how are we going to get out?"
"Wait a bit. These death mantises have huge appetites. Even two giant pythons might not be enough. We'll attack them then. We'll go out after they leave."
Ji Jiuying thought for a moment and then said.
"Huh? How long will it take?"
"About fifteen minutes!"
After saying that, he sat cross-legged and began to cultivate. Time is money, and in this world where fists speak, cultivation is of paramount importance.
Feng Qingxue looked at the Death Mantises not far away with a solemn expression: "Everyone should leave here first. These Death Mantises have huge appetites. If they find us, we'll be in big trouble!"
Having witnessed the Death Mantis's fighting prowess, some of the crowd began to consider retreating, but a few bolder individuals remained unwilling to leave.
"Senior Sister, let them go. Since they want to die, let them stay here!" Jiang Xin said as she approached Feng Qingxue.
But how could Feng Qingxue, as the senior sister of Blue Star, ignore them?
"Xin'er, you should leave first, or go back to the forest. Don't come near this side," Feng Qingxue said, patting Jiang Xin.
"Senior Sister, please leave with us."
Feng Qingxue shook her head. "No, as your senior sister, how can I abandon them?"
"But······"
"No buts, don't worry, I'll be careful." Seeing this, Jiang Xin didn't say anything more. Most of the group left, leaving only a small portion. Feng Qingxue, with a solemn expression, found a secluded spot to watch.
"Qingxue, let me help you."
Qi Feng's voice came from behind her. Feng Qingxue frowned, but since he was the eldest disciple of the Weapon Sect, she didn't say anything and just responded in a low voice.
Qi Feng seemed to have long been used to her cold demeanor and didn't pay much attention to it. If it were anyone else, he probably would have killed them long ago, but he would always restrain himself around Feng Qingxue.
They just struck up a conversation here and there.
"Qingxue, I heard before that your Feng family is all talking about your marriage..."
"Qi Feng, I don't want to talk about these things, and I have no plans to get married."
"Qingxue, I can actually wait for you..."
A hint of displeasure flashed across Feng Qingxue's eyes. She knew that Qi Feng liked her, but she had clearly rejected him before. She didn't understand why he was still hung up on her.
On second thought, wasn't she the same?
She sighed softly, "Qi Feng, stop thinking about me. I... I already have someone I like."
Qi Feng stood there, stunned, disbelief flashing in his eyes. She had someone she liked? Why hadn't he heard about it before? Could it be that she was deliberately lying to him?
"Qingxue, I know you don't have feelings for me right now, but I truly like you."
"I know you just said that to spite me, Qingxue. Can you please pay more attention to me and not be so cold to me? I really feel sorry for you..."
"Qi Feng, I'm serious."
Feng Qingxue turned around, her eyes filled with seriousness. Qi Feng couldn't help but panic. Thinking about how close she had been to Feng Yu recently, a fierce look flashed across his face: "Qingxue, do you like Feng Yu?"
Upon hearing Qi Feng's words, Feng Qingxue froze on the spot. "No, the person I like isn't on Blue Star."
"I can't, Qingxue, stop messing around!" Seeing her serious expression, Qi Feng instantly lost his confidence.
Just as Feng Qingxue was about to speak, a strange movement came from ahead. Sure enough, two death mantises had caught their scent and flew to the front of them.
The crowd turned pale with fright, but considering that there were more than a dozen of them here, and that their senior sister and Qi Feng were also there, they refused to believe that they couldn't defeat these two death mantises.
"Oh no!"
Feng Qingxue rushed forward to cover their escape: "You guys go quickly! These two Death Mantises have just finished digesting other spirit beasts; we can't possibly defeat them now!"
Upon hearing Feng Qingxue's words, everyone immediately lost their previous arrogance.
"Oh, this..."
"What the hell? Aren't you going to leave and wait to die?"
Qi Feng came up behind Feng Qingxue, his eyes filled with an imperceptible ruthlessness as he looked at the crowd. If it weren't for these fools, they wouldn't have had to face this Death Mantis.
Everyone quickly retreated, but turned back after going a short distance.
What are you doing?
"Senior Sister, you stayed behind for us, how can we abandon you under these circumstances?"
"Yes, this is a level nine spirit beast!"
"Senior Sister, let's retreat together."
Two death mantises instantly surrounded them. Feng Qingxue's face turned solemn. One of the death mantises raised its scythe-like forepaws and viciously stabbed at the group.
Feng Qingxue swung her sword suddenly, and the two forces collided, producing a piercing sound. Feng Qingxue was shaken back a few steps, and the distance between them widened again.
This level nine mantis was indeed difficult to deal with; everyone's faces immediately turned pale.
At this moment, a fierce rage ignited in the eyes of the Death Mantis, and another Death Mantis also attacked the group. With one attack coming from the front and one from the back, the group began to feel overwhelmed, and Feng Qingxue and Qi Feng were in no better shape.
The two dead mantises pressed forward relentlessly, and after several rounds, everyone was in a sorry state.
"Damn it, the spiritual power on this Death Mantis seems inexhaustible. If this continues, we're all going to die here."
"Stop talking, save your energy."
Feng Qingxue, panting, said, "Qi Feng, I'll cover you. You take them and leave first."
"No, I won't leave you alone." Qi Feng frowned, looking at the group of idiots behind him with a hostile gaze. If he wanted to, he could take Feng Qingxue away from here right now, but he knew she definitely wouldn't agree.
He couldn't understand why she would risk her life so much for these stupid things!
"Qi Feng, there's no time left, really..."
As she spoke, Feng Qingxue's hand was instantly torn by the mantis's claws, and her light blue sleeve was instantly stained red with blood.
"Qingxue, I'll take you away. Don't pay any more attention to these stupid things."
Just then, a series of exclamations came from not far away, and Jiang Ling and Lan Zhao, who had originally left, all turned back.
"They're back."
"We're saved!"
All eighty-odd people turned back. With their addition, the chances of defeating these two deadly mantises were still very high for a group of over one hundred people.
Sure enough, after ten rounds, the two Death Mantises were defeated instantly. One was killed by their combined efforts, while the other took the opportunity to escape.
