Even if Mo Qilin regretted it now, he had no chance to leave because it would indeed be more dangerous for him to stay here than to go with them.
Mo Qilin opened his mouth, but said nothing in the end because Gu Ning was right. He would be in a more dangerous situation if he stayed here alone. Therefore, he could only trust them and follow them.
As they wished, after they walked for another while, they met demonic monsters at higher levels. Two were at the sixth level, while one was at the seventh level.
As soon as they met sixth-level and seventh-level demonic monsters, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting felt a serious crisis.
Because sixth-level and seventh-level demonic monsters were stronger than Leng Shaoting, they would have to have a fight above their levels, which was very dangerous.
Although they had the flood dragon, they couldn’t let it out right now because of Mo Qilin’s presence.
At this moment, Gu Ning regretted taking Mo Qilin along with them for the first time.
If Mo Qilin was absent, they could let the flood dragon out as they wanted.
Anyway, they already brought Mo Qilin, so they couldn’t let him go back alone. In addition, all the three demonic monsters had a magic crystal, and they surely wouldn’t give up.
As a result, they told Mo Qilin to stay farther away and protect himself well, then Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting went to deal with the demonic monsters.
It was true that demonic monsters at higher levels were much more difficult to deal with. Even if Gu Ning added magical power of the Blood of the Phoenix to her hits, the demonic monsters were only slightly injured and barely affected.
After about ten minutes, it was still a tie.
After twenty minutes, the situation didn’t get better, but Gu Ning was losing strength.
Half an hour later, Gu Ning began to find it hard to continue and Leng Shaoting was also losing strength.
As Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting were dealing with the demonic monsters, people at other places started robbing each other of magic crystals.
Previous teammates were now enemies. Some even robbed each other within a team.
Although many participants tried to avoid Leng Shaoting’s team, some still wanted to find them, especially other cultivators in the Golden Core Stage.
Because they hadn’t witnessed Leng Shaoting’s real abilities, they felt they should be the same and they might not lose if they had a fight.
They also had many magic crystals, so they wanted to see whether they could rob Leng Shaoting’s team of some magic crystals.
Even though they hoped to meet Leng Shaoting’s team, they also felt a little worried because they were at the same level. It was hard to tell who was going to win. They were afraid they might lose their magic crystals if they lost to Leng Shaoting.
Either way, they couldn’t meet Leng Shaoting’s team because Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning went too deep in the forest. None of them dared to follow, so it was impossible for them to meet.
After forty minutes, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting were at a disadvantage, but the demonic monsters were seriously injured by them as well.
Mo Qilin was increasingly worried about them. He felt it wasn’t important whether Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting were able to kill the three demonic monsters right now. Most importantly, they had to stay strong for another half an hour, then their number cards would break on their own. Afterwards, they could leave the misty forest.
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting, however, had a different idea. They only had half an hour in which they had to kill the three demonic monsters and take their magic crystals.
It seemed that they had to let the flood dragon out in case any accidents happened.
Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes to glance around and saw that there was no other debris in a radius of twenty or thirty meters, so she immediately said to Mo Qilin, “Mo Qilin, step back ten meters. Without my permission, you can’t come over.”
Hearing that, Mo Qilin was confused. He didn’t know what Gu Ning was going to do, but he didn’t ask and stepped ten meters back right away.
After stepping back ten meters, he could barely see the fight, so Gu Ning told Leng Shaoting to let the flood dragon out at once. She also let the monster fox out at the same time.
The monster fox wasn’t at a high level, but it was helpful to some extent.
With the flood dragon and the monster fox’s help, the fight became much easier for Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting.
Ten minutes later, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting started to be at an advantage and the three demonic monsters were driven back after five minutes.
Mo Qilin didn’t know how everything was going. He could only hear sounds of the fight, so he was very anxious. However, Gu Ning said he couldn’t go over without her permission, so he controlled himself and could only pray that they would be fine.
In the last five minutes, the three demonic monsters were finally killed. Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting had no time to rest and quickly took out the magic crystals.
Seeing the magic crystals, the eyes of the monster fox and the flood dragon lit up at once. Obviously, they wanted them.
Gu Ning saw their reaction, so she said, “We’ll give you some when we’re back home later.”
“Sure,” said the flood dragon and the monster fox at the same time. After that, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting put them into the telepathic eye space before walking towards Mo Qilin.
The anxious Mo Qilin cried out in excitement when he saw Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting finally appear again. He ran to them right away. “Senior Qing He, Senior Qing Feng, you’re finally out. Are you alright?”
“We’re fine,” said Gu Ning with a smile.
“How’s the three demonic monsters?” asked Mo Qilin. He couldn’t believe that Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting were able to kill the three demonic monsters because the three demonic monsters were too strong.
“They’re dead,” said Gu Ning.
“What?” Hearing that, Mo Qilin was shocked. To his surprise, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting could kill such strong demonic monsters.
“Did they have magic crystals?” asked Mo Qilin.
“Of course,” replied Gu Ning, then she took out a fourth-level, a third-level, two second-level, and a first-level magic crystal from her backpack. “Here, they’re yours. After you get a prize, I’ll give you a few more.” She handed them to Mo Qilin.
By now, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting had a seventh-level, two sixth-level, five fifth-level, eight fourth-level, seven third-level, six second-level, and a first-level magic crystal, so they could still win a prize after giving a few to Mo Qilin.
“Um, there are too many…” Mo Qilin felt a little ashamed to take all the magic crystals.
“Just take them. The time is almost over. They won’t be counted after we go out,” said Gu Ning. Mo Qilin didn’t refuse again, and took them. “Thank you, Senior Qing He.”
At this moment, Leng Shaoting had a seventh-level, a sixth-level, two fifth-level, four fourth-level, two third-level, and two second-level magic crystals.
And Gu Ning had a sixth-level, three fifth-level, three fourth-level, four third-level, and four second-level magic crystals.
