After killing five other demonic monsters without magic crystals, Gu Ning and her teammates met another demonic monster with a magic crystal. This time, two demonic monsters showed up together, so Gu Ning told Mo Qilin to stand aside and she along with Leng Shaoting went ahead to deal with the demonic monsters.
Right when Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting were fighting against the demonic monsters, another team met them and watched from the side.
Although they didn’t think there would be a magic crystal in the two demonic monsters, they still stayed and watched the fight. They wouldn’t be convinced until they witnessed it with their own eyes.
If there was a magic crystal… they would undoubtedly want to steal it, but they were afraid of Leng Shaoting’s level. After all, among them, the strongest cultivator was simply in the middle stage of the Heartbeat Stage, which was barely comparable to the Golden Core Stage.
Besides, although Gu Ning seemed to be in the Fusion Stage, her abilities were much better than just that. Even cultivators in the Heartbeat Stage were no match for her.
Seeing them, Mo Qilin frowned slightly. He knew what they were thinking, but didn’t chase them away because it was allowed for them to watch.
Anyway, he believed that they were no match for his Senior Qing He and Senior Qing Feng. If they dared to steal the magical crystal from his Senior Qing He and Senior Qing Feng, they would be punished. Therefore, Mo Qilin felt better and ignored them.
Before long, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting killed the two demonic monsters. From the demonic monster Leng Shaoting killed, he took out a second-level magic crystal.
The demonic monster Gu Ning killed didn’t have a magic crystal, but she still had to cut its body open because there were other people around.
The other team was excited when Leng Shaoting took out the magic crystal. To their surprise, there was really a magic crystal in this demonic monster.
Mo Qilin wasn’t surprised anymore, he was only filled with happiness now. They had unusually good luck!
For a moment, they had the idea of stealing that magic crystal, but had to give up upon thinking of Leng Shaoting’s level.
He was incredibly strong. Even if they dared to steal it, they wouldn’t succeed, so they could only watch Leng Shaoting put the magic crystal into a bag.
After that, Gu Ning and her teammates directly walked away, leaving them behind.
“Boss, what should we do next?”
When Gu Ning and her teammates were a distance away, a man asked the head of their team that question.
“Follow them,” said the head of their team after thinking for a while.
Although they couldn’t steal it right now, they were unwilling to see Gu Ning’s team leave, so they decided to follow the. to see what they could do.
Anyway, it was allowed by the rules, so they could follow them.
Because it was a misty forest, they would lose sight a dozen meters away. As a result, they had to be close to their target.
In that case, Gu Ning and her teammates soon found out that they were following them. Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting didn’t care about that, but Mo Qilin was annoyed. He stopped and glared at them. “Why are you following us?”
“What? Aren’t we allowed to do that? We didn’t break the rules,” replied a man. He took it for granted.
“You…” Mo Qilin got mad. It was indeed allowed to follow other people, so they didn’t break the rules, but he was unhappy about that.
“It’s fine. Let them be if they want to follow us. We don’t need to pay special attention to them,” said Gu Ning airily to comfort Mo Qilin.
In fact, it couldn’t be easier for them to get rid of those people.
Hearing Gu Ning’s words, Mo Qilin said nothing, but he was still displeased.
After they walked ahead for another while, they met a team of four who were fighting against two second-level demonic monsters.
Once they saw other people coming, they stayed alert, especially when they saw Leng Shaoting’s team. Because Leng Shaoting was at a higher level than them, the magic crystal would definitely be stolen if there was one in the demonic monsters they were fighting against right now. Therefore, the four people were a little annoyed, but they could do nothing about that.
However, there was no magic crystal in the two demonic monsters, so Gu Ning and her teammates didn’t want to stay there any longer. After a glance, they walked away.
The four people who were fighting against the demonic monsters felt relieved. They even had a good impression of Gu Ning’s team.
The four people who were following Gu Ning’s team, however, hesitated to leave, because they wanted to know whether there was a magic crystal in the two demonic monsters.
They were no match for Leng Shaoting’s team, but Leng Shaoting’s team had magic crystals. At the same time, they weren’t sure whether the two demonic monsters the four people were fighting against had magic crystals.
They were at the same level, and the four people had lost a lot of strength in the fight against the demonic monsters. If the four people were able to get a magic crystal, it would be easier for them to steal the magic crystal.
When they were thinking about that, Gu Ning’s team was already gone in the mist, so they decided to stop following Gu Ning’s team. Anyway, they couldn’t grab the magic crystals even if they continued to follow Gu Ning’s team.
The four people who were fighting against the demonic monsters were displeased when they found out that they stayed, but they weren’t really afraid because they were at the same level.
After a while, the four people killed the demonic monsters, but unfortunately there were no magic crystals.
Those people who gave up following Gu Ning’s team felt quite disappointed. Without delay, they tried to chase after Gu Ning’s team. However, Gu Ning’s team was nowhere to be found now.
Before long, they didn’t have time to search for Gu Ning’s team because they ran into demonic monsters as well and they needed to fight.
…
After they were in the misty forest for four hours, Gu Ning’s team had gone the deepest, so the demonic monsters they met along the way became stronger and stronger.
This time, Gu Ning’s team encountered five demonic monsters. Two of them were at the third level, while the other three were at the fourth level.
Among the five demonic monsters, two had magic crystals, but Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting wouldn’t know the levels of the magic crystals until the demonic monsters were killed. They could approximately sense the demonic monsters’ abilities from their breath.
Demonic monsters at the third or fourth level weren’t a threat to them, but they had to be be careful because each of them needed to fight against two demonic monsters. In the meanwhile, they also needed to pay attention to Mo Qilin to prevent him from being injured.
A fight between three cultivators against five demonic monsters began.
Given Mo Qilin’s level, it was naturally harder for him to fight against a third-level demonic monster than a second-level demonic monster, but his skills in the Fusion Stage were enough to deal with a third-level demonic monster, at least for now.
Because Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting were both fighting with two demonic monsters, it took them longer than before to win. However, they were at an advantage as usual. They could wound the demonic monsters, but it took more time for them to control them.
