Fear and shock surged through Yi Han's heart, instantly reflected on his face.
A thought flashed through his mind: could it be because of the Azure Spirit Grass he had picked?
Just then, Wang Chong's voice rang out sharply: "Everyone, scatter and run! Divert the demonic beast's attention!"
"Agreed! Let's meet at the same mountain hollow in two days," Jiang Kai echoed steadily.
As the shout landed, Yi Han saw the others gradually distance themselves from him.
Damn it!
He cursed inwardly, realizing that Wang Chong and the others had noticed the Wind Wolf Beast's unusual gaze.
But he wouldn't let Wang Chong succeed.
Immediately, he darted towards Wang Chong and Su Yueqing.
"Brother Yi, run separately!" Wang Chong shouted anxiously.
Before the words faded, the Wind Wolf Beast pounced like lightning!
A fierce wind raged, scattering fallen leaves.
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Yi Han hastily raised his weapon to parry along with Wang Chong and Su Yueqing.
With a deafening "Boom," Yi Han felt an overwhelming force surge towards him.
His arm felt as if struck by a heavy hammer, numbness spreading from his arm throughout his body, and he flew backward uncontrollably like a kite with a broken string, landing several feet away.
With just one blow, Yi Han's protective spiritual energy completely dissipated, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Wang Chong and Su Yueqing were in equally bad shape, crashing heavily near him, blood streaming from their mouths.
The Wind Wolf Beast let out a sinister roar and pounced again like a phantom.
Life hanging by a thread, Yi Han widened his eyes and, without hesitation, pulled out the spirit grass from his chest.
Even though the spirit grass was precious and hard to find, it was related to his life.
But compared to the current crisis, even the most important spirit grass had to be sacrificed.
Just as Yi Han was about to throw out the Azure Spirit Grass and prepare to roll aside, he was stunned to find that the Wind Wolf Beast was actually pouncing towards Su Yueqing.
It seemed that the demonic beast was simply enraged.
"Save me!" Su Yueqing's delicate body trembled, her face paled, and she retreated in a panic like a frightened deer.
But she gripped the sword in her hand even tighter!
Yi Han was overjoyed and quickly rolled to the side, clutching the spirit grass.
Wang Chong did the same; in a moment of crisis, one's own safety came first.
In an instant, Su Yueqing was about to be devoured by the wolf.
As for Lu Zhiqian, he had already abandoned everyone and run away without a trace.
Yi Han's pupils shrank sharply, and he rolled and scrambled away in a panic.
The Wind Wolf Beast, struck by Jiang Kai's sneak attack, was instantly enraged, and the ferocity in its eyes soared, immediately chasing after Jiang Kai and Su Yueqing.
Wang Chong quickly rolled away, giving way to the Wind Wolf Beast.
Yi Han breathed a sigh of relief, and with a flash of his body, he desperately fled in the opposite direction.
Wang Chong followed closely behind, and the two ran through the mountains and forests like stray dogs, the leaves rustling under their feet.
… …
Lu Zhiqian's location.
He ran wildly all the way, and the disdainful expression he usually wore suddenly disappeared, replaced by a sinister cunning.
Only when he could no longer hear the slightest roar of the Wind Wolf Beast did he barely stop his fleeing steps, proceeding cautiously.
"That damn Wind Wolf Beast!" Lu Zhiqian spat.
"My dear teammates, I hope to see you again in two days; I still need to rely on you to kill demonic beasts and search for materials," he chuckled softly.
In the silence, a burst of footsteps suddenly came from the right.
"Who!" Lu Zhiqian was startled, turning around abruptly, facing the right warily, tightening the knife in his hand.
"Hey, Little Tiger, there's prey here," a rough female voice came, with a hint of mockery.
Lu Zhiqian took a closer look and saw eight figures walking out of the dense forest.
Leading the way was a burly man with a face full of bulging muscles, a lewd gaze, and a scar at the corner of his eye, precisely Little Tiger.
Behind him were two callow youths and four young men.
And in his arms was a middle-aged woman with a less-than-optimistic face but a voluptuous figure, who was the one who had spoken mockingly.
Among this group of people, each held a weapon, all were Yunxi Sect enslaved disciples at the first level of Qi Refining.
Moreover, on their uniform clothes, a black tiger head was embroidered on the chest.
"People from the Black Tiger Gang…" Lu Zhiqian recognized them at a glance, precisely the Black Tiger Gang that Jiang Kai had mentioned, and his heart sank.
He knew that whether he fought head-on or ran away, the risks were extremely high, so he could only act according to the situation.
So he put on a flattering smile: "So it's the big brothers of the Black Tiger Gang, this little one is too honored."
Little Tiger grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth:
"Yo, kid, you've got some discerning eyes. How's the harvest these days? Are you going to hand it over yourself, or should I let my brothers do it?"
A few of his lackeys revealed sinister and contemptuous smiles, while some others had a hint of worry on their faces.
Lu Zhiqian sighed inwardly, deeply understanding the principle that a wise man submits to circumstances, and quickly and carefully took out a ball of beast skin, the flattering smile on his face never changing:
"Hehe, Little Tiger, this little one only has a share of demonic beast essence blood, please accept it with a smile."
One of his hands tightly gripped the knife, making the worst possible plans in his heart.
"Oh?" Little Tiger narrowed his eyes, scanning Lu Zhiqian, "Only one share of essence blood? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"
Lu Zhiqian showed a hint of appropriate panic on his face, explaining eagerly:
"Really, there's only one share! Our team hasn't had good luck recently, we haven't found anything good."
"We even encountered a Wind Wolf Beast just now, almost lost our lives."
Hearing this, Little Tiger's eyes flashed with a hint of greed: "Your team? How many people are there?"
"Five people including me," Lu Zhiqian answered truthfully.
The greedy look in Little Tiger's eyes became even more intense.
For him, by the end of the month, this could very well be a fortune.
Lu Zhiqian was secretly delighted, knowing that the other party was already interested.
"What's your name?" Little Tiger's face changed, asking condescendingly.
As he spoke, he gestured, and a lackey immediately stepped forward to take Lu Zhiqian's materials and search him.
Lu Zhiqian hunched his back, feeling a great relief in his heart, answering respectfully: "Responding to Little Tiger, this little one is called Lu Zhiqian."
"Can you still find your teammates?" Little Tiger asked.
"I can," Lu Zhiqian showed a look of doubt.
Little Tiger stroked his chin and suddenly smiled:
"Brother Lu, I see that you are also a smart person, how about this, join our Black Tiger Gang, what do you think?"
Lu Zhiqian was stunned: "Join the Black Tiger Gang?"
"That's right," Little Tiger took out a bamboo tube from his chest and handed it to a lackey beside him:
"This is a signal bamboo tube, you take it. After you go back, continue to cooperate with your teammates, and when the end of the month comes, pull the signal, and we will naturally come to meet you. When the time comes, you will definitely get your share of the benefits."
Lu Zhiqian took the bamboo tube from the lackey's hand, already knowing the other party's plan.
A subtle sinister look flashed in his eyes, but his face was full of smiles: "Thank you for Little Tiger's appreciation! I will definitely work hard and will never fail Little Tiger's expectations!"
Little Tiger nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, I like people like you who know the current affairs."
Immediately, he smiled sinisterly again:
"Go, you are already a member of the Black Tiger Gang, and we will distribute our gang's clothing to you when the time comes. Remember our agreement, otherwise, there will be no place for you in the sky or on earth."
"Yes, yes! This little one will definitely remember," Lu Zhiqian nodded repeatedly, turning to leave.
After he left, a lackey asked: "Brother, are you just going to trust him like that?"
Little Tiger sneered:
"Hmph, he wouldn't dare to play tricks. A new prey at the first level of Qi Refining, what waves can he make? Besides, if he dares to betray us, we will definitely let him die without a burial place!"
"Brother, the people from the Blood Fiend Gang and the Azure Wolf Gang are also in this area, we have to be more careful," a thin young lackey reminded.
"Let's go," Little Tiger shouted in a low voice, leading the others away.
As Lu Zhiqian walked, he tightly gripped the bamboo tube in his hand, the smile on his face instantly disappearing, replaced by a cold killing intent.
"My dear teammates, you were already my prey, how would you know that I was deliberately disguising myself as a reckless man, and my strength is not what you see."
"Yi Han and Wang Chong have low strength, no scheming, fighting each other, they are just petty people, not worth fearing."
"Su Yueqing is a weak woman, but she can be kept as a concubine."
"It's just you, Jiang Kai, as long as I get rid of you first, then no one can stop me, hehe."
He chuckled softly.
"As for this Black Tiger Gang… I have to guard against them."
A thought flashed through his mind: could it be because of the Azure Spirit Grass he had picked?
Just then, Wang Chong's voice rang out sharply: "Everyone, scatter and run! Divert the demonic beast's attention!"
"Agreed! Let's meet at the same mountain hollow in two days," Jiang Kai echoed steadily.
