3077 Protect
Hundreds of disciples formed teams quickly. Feng Jiu followed Mu Ling and the others. When she saw that they weren’t in a hurry to look for more team members, she stood quietly by the side and sized up the surrounding people.
“Mu Ling, are there enough people in your team? How about adding us to your team?” A man came over with several people and looked at Mu Ling.
Mu Ling glanced at the four of them and looked at Pei Zixuan: “What do you think?”
“Yes, we can add the four of them. That makes thirteen which should be enough.” Pei Zixuan said and nodded his head.
“Fine, you can join our team! Come on, let’s introduce the people in our team to you!” Mu Ling said and introduced everyone on his side to them.
After the introductions, their gazes fell on Feng Jiu and they said: “This little Junior Brother doesn’t look very old, he is actually a member of your Mu Famiy Clan?”
Mu Ling smiled: “That’s right.”
Feng Jiu also smiled and nodded lightly to them.
Following the activation of the array, and the Venerable’s orders, the surrounding teams were divided into groups and stepped forward, then they disappeared into the Teleportation Array…
When Feng Jiu and the others re-appeared, they were already in the dense forest, and the teams that came in with them were also there. After everyone looked at each other, they cupped their hands in front of them in a respectful gesture, then each chose a direction and left.
Here, people from the same Sect would support each other and they would be vigilant against people from the other Sects. People from the same Immortal Sect wouldn’t scheme against each other.
“Let’s sit down and talk first, in case we get separated here and can’t find each other, we have to have a secret code.” Mu Ling said, then he glanced at everyone and said: “There are thirteen of us here, everyone must have a secret code. This is my secret code.”
He drew a leaf on the ground and looked at the others: “If I am lost, I will carve this secret symbol on a tree or stone, a leaf, and I will also indicate which direction to go. It will point in that direction.”
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded: “Then I’ll draw a lightning bolt!” Pei Zixuan said with a smile and drew the shape of a lightning bolt on the ground: “Simple and easy to remember.”
“Then I’ll draw a circle and add a cross inside.”
“I will just draw a small sword!”
“I will draw a fruit.”
“I…”
Each of them drew what they represented on the ground for everyone to see. Finally, when they saw that Mu Jiu hadn’t drawn anything, they asked: “Mu Jiu, what about you?”
“I will just write the character nine!” Feng Jiu said with a smile. She didn’t think that she would need to use it.
“Fine, everyone make sure you remember them. Don’t forget, in addition to the ferocious beasts in here, we can also pick some precious elixir herbs. But be careful, the more powerful the precious elixirs are, the more powerful the guardian beasts guarding it are. There are thirteen people in our team, we shall take turns to be Captain. One person a day, that’s fair, don’t you think?” Mu Ling looked at everyone and asked.
Upon hearing this, everyone agreed on the plan. So for the first day, Mu Ling was the team Captain. After they listened to his arrangements, he brought them inside.
Because of his Master’s orders to protect Mu Jiu, Mu Ling paid more attention to Mu Jiu, who was walking behind him. He had originally been walking in the middle of the group but had gradually fallen behind, then he winked at his Junior Brother Cheng Jun Nan and the others.
They understood and immediately slowed down and came to Mu Jiu’s side and quietly moved around so that he was in the middle and protected him.
