Chapter 281 Escape
Zhang Lexuan's skin became crystal white under the moonlight. She pointed her right hand forward, and a ray of moonlight suddenly shot out from the crescent moon and hit Zhang Peng.
Now Cai Meir had to stand on the same front with her, because Zhang Peng had transformed into a giant black tiger that was more than fifteen meters long, with its tail raised high with a hook that glowed with black light at the end, and a pair of dark purple eyes that were gleaming with ferocity.
"Little guys, stand back and protect yourselves!"
Huo Yuhao and the other two retreated at a very high speed, but the spiritual detection sharing still played a role, providing Zhang Peng with more accurate support.
Before facing Zhang Peng, Cai Meir made a timely gesture to the students, asking them to escape on their own.
"Want to run?" The giant tiger that Zhang Peng transformed into roared, and the sound waves spread. Groups of dark shadows were continuously released from his soul rings, transforming into soul beasts of different forms, and pounced on the Shrek students who were running away.
Xiao Xiao was so frightened that her face turned pale and she stood there blankly. She didn't understand Cai Meir's gestures, so she didn't understand why the seniors suddenly left her and ran away.
At the moment when the beast soul opened its bloody mouth and pounced at her, her whole body flew up as if riding on a cloud. When she came to her senses, she realized that she was picked up by the waist by the older sister who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. With the help of the soul guide thrusters, she ran towards the outer area of the Star Dou Great Forest even faster than those students. Even Chu Qingtian, who claimed to be the fastest in the inner courtyard, could only look up to her.
They ran for dozens of miles and encountered some soul beasts on the way. Perhaps they were frightened by the aura of everyone's martial spirits, or perhaps because the closer they were to the outer area, the weaker the soul beasts were, so no soul beasts attacked them, but instead fled away.
Xiao Xiao's panicked heart gradually calmed down. The foreign aid of Tianlongmen was much more reliable than those seniors.
"Okay, let's take a break. This is already the outer area, so there shouldn't be any danger." Cai Meir and Zhang Lexuan stopped the enemy, and the team's main controller Han Ruoruo became responsible for command.
Wu Ming originally wanted to mock Mu Xing for running faster than Chu Qingtian, who was an agile attack type, when she encountered danger, but when she saw Xiao Xiao in her arms, she forced herself to hold back her words. The others also looked ashamed because no one remembered to bring Xiao Xiao with them.
"Big sister, please put me down." Xiao Xiao felt a little embarrassed.
The students, led by Han Ruoruo, apologized to her one by one. She seemed to have nothing else to say except "it's okay". What else could she do if they didn't forgive her?
Chu Qingtian tried to say something else to ease the awkwardness, but after thinking it over, he finally turned the topic to Mu Xing, "You didn't really live here, did you?" He didn't think much about it, but just used a joking tone to lighten the heavy atmosphere.
After all, whether it was his use of the terrain or his familiarity with the habits of various soul beasts, Mu Xing showed rich experience and a calm and steady mentality.
It was only by following her that these students were able to avoid those aggressive soul beasts and successfully run to the outer area.
"Is that important?" Mu Xing's answer was ambiguous.
Chu Qingtian didn't care about her attitude, nor did he care that Tianlongmen used Beibei as a tool to pass on the family line. He even thought it was reasonable. What's so good about being an evil soul master? Since Beibei didn't like the senior sister, he should give the opportunity to other seniors in the inner courtyard and go to Tianlongmen to find other beautiful sisters!
"What a pity, if I had listened to Yanying from the beginning. This time, except for Xiaoxiao, our spirit rings are likely to be gone." Chu Qingtian was very depressed.
"Chu Qingtian, do you have a conscience? Elder Cai and Senior Sister are still missing in their efforts to help us retreat, and you still have the mind to think about spirit rings?" Wu Ming became excited when she heard this. She was holding back her anger and had no place to vent it. It was unwise to blame Xiao Xiao's savior now, but she did not realize that blaming her teammates was not much wise either.
Chu Qingtian shut his mouth silently. Wu Ming wanted to say a few more words, but was pulled back by Han Ruoruo without saying a word.
Beibei lowered his head and said nothing. A feeling of powerlessness lingered in him. He should have been the pride of Shrek Academy, but now his elders have suddenly passed away one by one. His only relative can no longer protect him from the wind and rain until he becomes a strong man who can stand on his own. Ten thousand years ago, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, who were of the same ancestry, agreed to give him a shelter at the request of Xuanzu, but he had to sacrifice his dignity and loyalty to his lover.
"Let's take a break and eat something." Seeing that the atmosphere was so heavy, Han Ruoruo suggested.
They had been marching for nearly two hours and it would be dawn soon. After dawn, they would return to Shrek Academy and report to Poseidon Pavilion everything that happened in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Han Ruoruo tried her best to appear calm. Perhaps they should indeed choose other soul beast gathering places to hunt souls.
But Wu Ming didn't think so. She always felt that if this so-called foreign aid hadn't come along, their soul hunting operation would have been smooth. However, she couldn't find strong evidence to prove that the encounter with Scorpion Tiger Douluo was caused by the other party. Because it was Zhang Lexuan who led the way, and Mr. Cai was in control of the overall situation.
Mu Xing found a higher place to sit down and stuffed a few purple fruits to Xiao Xiao. These purple fruits were plump, each as big as a child's fist, with juice flowing faintly under the peel. Even in dim light, they still looked crystal clear.
"I picked it on the way. It would be better to eat something sweet in this situation."
"Thank you, big sister." Xiao Xiao didn't doubt it and took a big bite. The strong sour taste instantly made her feel like her teeth were about to fall out.
"It's obviously sour! Huh?"
The sour taste at first sip quickly disappeared, replaced by a sweet and refreshing taste. When the juice entered her stomach, the cool feeling seemed to wash away all her fatigue of the day.
"No one is watching over her now, so they're poaching her so blatantly!" Wu Ming complained to Han Ruoruo unconvinced.
Han Ruoruo felt very tired of this companion, "What can we do? She was the one who saved Xiaoxiao." Moreover, in this temporary team, she is the one with the highest cultivation level, and she also has the blessing of the soul guide. What can Wu Ming do if he is not convinced?
After resting for a while, Han Ruoruo asked everyone to leave the Star Dou Forest. Mu Xing did not follow them, but held the spear and tensed his body.
"What do you want to do now?" Wu Ming asked unhappily.
"Before dawn."
Everyone's faces changed and they suddenly raised their heads. The sky was shrouded in darkness, with no moonlight and no trace of stars.
