“Ughhhh!”
The two men were flung away and slammed into a big tree heavily. The two men had gotten back up from the ground and rushed forwards to grab the devilry cultivator’s legs in an attempt to topple him over. When they saw this, the other two men drew their longswords and charged forwards. At this moment, two more men had appeared from nearby and joined in the attack.
All of a sudden, four men changed to six men, as they teamed up to stop the devilry cultivator from killing them.
Feng Jiu who had fallen onto the ground watched on as the six men besieged the devilry cultivator. Her eyes flashed slightly, and in the next moment, she picked up the diamond rope and swung it forwards fiercely around the neck of the devilry cultivator who was held down by the six men.
“Ugh!”
The devilry cultivator suppressed his muffled cry and his face was flushed red. His body was stabbed with a knife and his hands and feet were held by someone else. Not only did his wounds hurt, but with the diamond rope around his neck, it was also hard to breathe.
“Go to hell!”
The man who was holding a knife raised it and stabbed the devilry cultivator fiercely, this time, into the devilry cultivator’s chest. He groaned as blood flowed out of his mouth. His eyes widened as his body convulsed and he took his last breath.
The few men only let go of the devilry cultivator after he had stopped breathing. They then sat down on the ground and panted slightly. It was true that one person’s strength was small, and the more people there were, the stronger they were. With their united strength, even if their cultivation wasn’t good, they were still able to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator together.
“Take what he’s got and let’s leave quickly!” Lei Xiao said in a low voice. He stood up at the same time and glanced around.
The people around glanced at him but didn’t move. Although they had killed the Nascent Soul cultivator and gained quite a lot of things from him, they didn’t step forward to take anything this time. This was because the other people were probably on their own and it was only them who had formed a group.
When the two new people saw the young boy in azure sitting there foolishly after strangling the devilry cultivator, one of them pulled him up immediately: “Hurry up! If we don’t get going there will be more devilry cultivators catching up to us.”
Feng Jiu was hence dragged away by them…
Maybe it was because they had witnessed those men joining forces to kill the Nascent Soul cultivator, other people had also started forming groups too. Some groups had a few people, some had a dozen, and some groups had over twenty people. Because they had formed groups, their death rate had also dropped.
Feng Jiu who had been dragged to the front of the group finally recovered from her daze and looked around her. As they introduced themselves to each other, she sized them up and they also sized her up.
“Don’t you run very fast? How come you can’t run in this forest?” One of the men asked her with a rare smile. He was probably recalling the scene where Feng Jiu was being chased by the Eclipse Demon Tiger.
“The forest ground is uneven and there are many weeds, of course I can’t run as fast as I do on a flat surface.” Feng Jiu said and looked at the men. She asked: “Are you teaming up as a group? In that case, can I join your group?”
They looked at her when they heard this, and Lei Xiao said: “You appear to be the weakest out of all of us. You can join our team, but make sure you don’t hold us back.”
Feng Jiu smiled with joy and said earnestly: “I won’t, I won’t, I definitely won’t hold you back.” She would hold them back? What a joke.
“We still don’t have a map yet, I’m afraid that we will not be able to find our way out of the forest and might be lost in here for a while. Does anyone have any suggestions?” Lei Xiao asked and looked at everyone.
