Chapter 10

"Damn! No way!"

Zheng Tuo muttered to himself.

The Wolf King didn't go after the plump girl, but instead came back.

Zheng Tuo took out a magnifying glass and searched for the plump girl's figure.

After searching for a long time, he found nothing.

But for some reason, he felt an inexplicable chill on his back, as if he was being watched by some terrifying beast.

He felt extremely uneasy.

"Who, who did this, who?"

Chi Xiao was furious.

Powerful flames of spirit energy burst from her body.

She was like a human volcano, erupting wildly.

The ancient jade fragment she had risked her life to snatch from the third-stage Wolf King had been stolen.

Enraged, she was like a female demon.

The powerful flames of spirit energy destroyed all the surrounding trees.

At the same time, a deep pit was revealed at her feet.

The deep pit was clearly a hiding place, as the surrounding soil was freshly turned, with obvious signs of human activity.

"Damn!"

Chi Xiao was already furious, and seeing the deep pit made her even more violent.

It turned out that while she was hiding the item, the person had already been hiding under her feet.

"Don't let me find out who you are, if I do, I'll skin you alive, string you up, and dip you in sauce to eat..."

Chi Xiao's teeth were grinding, and her eyes were blazing with fire.

"Cough, cough..."

Zheng Tuo suddenly shivered, feeling as if someone was cursing him.

Feeling guilty, he tightened his collar.

He casually took out ten concealment spirit talismans and stuck them on his back.

Only then did he feel somewhat reassured.

In the distance.

Li Jun and the others were battling the Wolf King, and the intensity of the fight was even more brutal than before.

The third-stage Wolf King was overwhelmingly powerful, and wherever he went, it was a massacre.

The defensive array was as fragile as paper in front of him, and he charged into the group, slaughtering them like cutting wheat.

However, it was clear that the Wolf King, though fierce, had wounds on his body.

Zheng Tuo, seeing the Wolf King's wounds, silently took out ten concealment spirit talismans and stuck them on his body.

There was no doubt that the plump girl had done this.

To injure a third-stage Wolf King with the strength of a second-stage cultivator, this talent was clearly visible.

He took out his blacklist and wrote down:

Plump girl, SS-level priority avoidance target.

Putting away the blacklist, Zheng Tuo began to observe the distant battle.

Li Jun and the others could temporarily hold their own against the injured Wolf King.

But to say they could defeat him, no one would believe it.

He couldn't just rely on Li Jun and the others.

Fate must be in his own hands to feel secure.

What a hassle.

He stood up.

Looking at the distant battle, his heart was filled with a thousand battle intentions.

Which man has not dreamed of wielding a sword and traveling the world, taking the enemy's head in the midst of a thousand soldiers as easily as picking something from a pocket?

Who doesn't have a hero's dream?

Since that's the case, I can't just stand by.

Everyone is working so hard, how can I, Zheng Tuo, just sit and watch?

His blood burned for a third of a second before cooling down.

He turned around.

He began to search for other paths up the mountain.

Battling was impossible, only caution could maintain his life.

What a joke.

A third-stage Wolf King.

Strong like a demon.

Going in headfirst would be suicide.

Ten minutes later.

Zheng Tuo frowned.

He had searched the surroundings, but there was no path that led directly to the top of the Sunset Mountain.

In other words, the only way was the path where Li Jun and the others were fighting.

But the battle ahead was not optimistic.

Though Li Jun and the others were strong, the Wolf King was even stronger.

He was pushing them back, and it looked like they were about to be defeated and all killed.

If Li Jun and the others were defeated, he would have to face the Wolf King alone, which was clearly not on the same level.

He didn't want to take the risk of revealing himself.

In the sunlight, everyone has one or two weaknesses.

Only by hiding in the darkness was he truly safe.

But it had come to this.

There was no choice.

Let me give you a hand.

He took out a voice-transmitting spirit talisman, input a message, and said, "Senior Brother Li Jun, quickly lead the Wolf King into the dense forest on your left. I have set up an explosive spirit talisman array there to help you kill the wolf."

He crushed the voice-transmitting spirit talisman and threw it in the direction of Li Jun.

Though the voice-transmitting spirit talisman was only first-grade and had poor effect, Li Jun, being a second-stage cultivator, had very sharp hearing.

He was slightly stunned upon hearing the message.

He immediately looked in the direction of the voice but found no one there.

"Boom..."

The Wolf King was fierce, and his huge claws fiercely struck the group, instantly turning three people into meat paste.

Seeing the situation.

Li Jun had no choice but to try a desperate move.

"You all retreat, I have a way to kill it."

Li Jun was a decisive person.

If they continued to fight, everyone would die here.

It was better to trust the voice and take a chance.

The group retreated.

After attracting the Wolf King's attention, Li Jun turned and ran into the dense forest.

The Wolf King would not let Li Jun go.

With high intelligence, it knew Li Jun was the leader.

Killing Li Jun would cause the others to scatter.

"Roar..."

It howled, calling its subordinates to block the entrance.

It then ran after Li Jun with its agile limbs.

Li Jun, on the other hand, plunged into the dense forest.

He was stunned on the spot!

The forest was too dense, and he couldn't see any sign of the explosive spirit talisman array.

"Damn!"

He cursed, thinking he had been tricked.

But he accidentally saw a large red arrow carved into a tree above his head.

The intelligent Li Jun immediately understood its meaning.

"I wonder which junior brother did this, so considerate."

Without hesitation, he ran in the direction of the arrow.

The Wolf King was chasing him, and Li Jun responded calmly.

Every time he thought he was lost, a large red arrow would appear ahead, guiding him.

After seven or eight times, he saw the explosive spirit talisman array.

At the same time, there was an arrow ahead, and below it, the words "Safe House" were written.

It was a small, dark house dug by hand, which could shield against the power of the explosive spirit talisman array.

This...

Seeing this, Li Jun felt a sense of admiration.

What kind of person was this?

To set up a safe house in such a place, his mind was too meticulous.

Regardless, he crouched and entered the safe house.

The house was small but enough for one person to hide.

In the center of the safe house, a detonation spirit talisman hung from the beam.

On the wall, there was a wooden board.

The board read: "If not killed, keep running, there are more explosive spirit talisman arrays ahead."

Li Jun: "This..."

"I really don't know which junior brother it is, I would like to meet him."

Li Jun couldn't help but praise.

From the arrows along the way to the safe house and the warning in the safe house, it seemed everything was under the control of that person.

In this regard, he felt inferior.

In the distance.

Zheng Tuo was hiding in the darkness.

"I've made it clear enough, Li Jun should understand with his intelligence."

Zheng Tuo thought.

The safe house was originally a backup for himself, in case something went wrong.

Now he could only lend it to Li Jun.

But it didn't matter.

He had seven more such safe houses.

"Boom..."

A violent explosion shook the forest.

The explosive spirit talismans were not of high grade, but their power was considerable, as a hundred exploded at once.

Combined with Li Jun's strength, killing the Wolf King should not be a problem.

The group, worried about Senior Brother Li Jun's safety, immediately went to investigate.

Zheng Tuo, on the other hand, did not move.

Curiosity kills the cat.

The Wolf King was a third-stage beast, who knew what special abilities it had.

He had heard that king-class beasts had innate abilities, very powerful, so he decided to wait for news here.

Soon, the crowd cheered as they escorted Li Jun out of the forest.

Li Jun looked severely injured but was full of excitement and vigor.

Clearly.

With the help of the explosive spirit talisman array, he had personally killed the third-stage Wolf King.

Though he had paid a heavy price, it was all worth it.

Everyone surrounded him, treating him like a hero.

Li Jun, on the other hand, was searching with his eyes, clearly looking for the owner of the voice.

He really wanted to meet the person who had helped him.

Such meticulous thinking, if used for his own benefit, would greatly help him in the future competition for the position of the head of the Luo Xian Sect.

But he was disappointed.

Zheng Tuo was hiding in the dark and had no intention of revealing himself.

There were no more surprises.

The group collectively climbed Sunset Mountain, waiting to be teleported away to complete the assessment.

"Finally over."

Zheng Tuo stretched, not in a hurry to reveal himself.

The battle had just ended, and if he went out now, he would easily be seen as reaping the benefits of others' efforts.

If he was discovered to have been lazy, it would cause trouble.

He hated trouble the most.

Since there was still time, it wouldn't be too late to go up the mountain last.

As it turned out.

His caution was justified.

On the mountain top, after Li Jun and everyone else stepped on it, a sudden strong wind arose, and a large array instantly formed.

Just as everyone thought it was a sign of the assessment being over and they were about to be teleported back to the Luo Xian Sect.

"Ha ha ha..."

The villain's laughter echoed from the void.

"The seeds of the Luo Xian Sect, become my food."
