Chapter 282 Discord
Logically speaking, they had been running for several hours and resting for a while, so it should have been dawn. At the very least, it shouldn't be as dark as it is now.
Xiao Xiao's legs went limp and she fell to the ground. In her fear, tears welled up unconsciously. At the beginning, these seniors were not in Shrek City, but she was an eyewitness to the dragon disaster and knew what it was.
"Don't make any noise, stay quiet." Mu Xing pulled Xiao Xiao up from the ground and wiped away her tears. "Powerful beings usually don't care about weak humans. Do you care about the ants under your feet?"
Han Ruoruo and the others also put away their soul power, but still remained in a state of releasing their martial spirits at any time. After all, their senior sister had once encountered a hundred thousand year old soul beast, so who knew if the other party would suddenly attack them?
Mu Xing gently stroked the black gun barrel. She was already considering whether to use thunder to shatter the darkness, and then ask the other party in a more gentle way why he suddenly followed her and scared a human cub to tears.
Dark golden dragon pupils flashed by, and the darkness receded like a tide. Looking at the dawn, Shrek's students all felt like they had survived a calamity. Those few short minutes seemed as long as centuries to them.
"What on earth is that thing? We are in the outer area, how could there be such a powerful soul beast?" Wu Ming also collapsed on the ground like Xiao Xiao, and the others were not much better. The suffocating pressure was completely beyond their comprehension.
"The beast tide just ended not long ago. There are hundred thousand year soul beasts and even ferocious beasts wandering around the outer area. This is normal." Mu Xing explained kindly.
"Normal?" Wu Ming was frightened. The feeling that something was watching her from the shadows and might attack her at any time made her break out in a cold sweat. She no longer had the momentum she had before.
"That was... the Beast God just now. A few months ago, it was the same thing above Shrek City..." Xiao Xiao's voice was still trembling. If Mu Xing hadn't supported her, she wouldn't even be able to stand steadily.
"..."
Everyone held their breath, and no one doubted Xiao Xiao's words because she was one of the survivors of the dragon disaster.
Everyone was suddenly glad that they were in the Star Dou Great Forest and that the Beast God had no interest in breathing fire on his own territory.
"You weren't the one who brought them here, were you?" This time it was Chu Qingtian, not Wu Ming, who spoke.
Mu Xing had to admit that this young man was quite good at finding joy in adversity, and he still had the mind to tease her.
"That's not the case!" Xiao Xiao finally mustered up the courage to refute, "Senior, why didn't you say that Senior Sister Wu Ming was roasting bear paws in the Xingdou Great Forest and that's why she attracted the Beast God?"
"Xiaoxuemei, you actually believe this rumor?" Chu Qingtian was surprised at Xiao Xiao's naivety. "But we'd better leave here as soon as possible. I don't know if Elder Cai and Senior Sister escaped successfully. Although I heard that Scorpion Tiger Douluo has entered the Super Douluo realm for many years, Senior Sister's eighth soul ring starts at 100,000 years, and Elder Cai also has a cultivation base of 94th level. After we leave, it shouldn't be difficult for him to leave the battlefield."
This guy is really optimistic. Mu Xing thought silently that the premise for Cai Mei'er and Zhang Lexuan to escape was that Zhang Peng did not have the buff given to him by Huo Yuhao, and he did not want to kill anyone. Even so, the best result would be one death and one injury.
When they rushed out of the forest and saw the vast plain, the students of Shrek Academy couldn't help but feel like they were reborn. The joy of surviving a disaster made everyone's face full of relief. Although their companions and teachers were missing, and except for Xiao Xiao, the others failed to get the required spirit rings, but being able to escape from the eyes of the Beast God may have consumed most of their life's luck.
"Let's say goodbye here." As soon as they left the Star Dou Great Forest, Mu Xing handed Xiao Xiao to Han Ruoruo, then picked up the silent Beibei and flew into the air, disappearing from everyone's sight.
No one stopped her, there was no need, and no one had the ability to do so.
"I think you are judging others by your own mean character. She just took Beibei away as agreed." Han Ruoruo patted Wu Ming's shoulder.
Wu Ming knew she was in the wrong. She knew very well that the other party could take both Beibei and Xiaoxiao away, but he chose to leave Xiaoxiao behind. Perhaps it was really the prejudice at the beginning that led to the friction along the way.
"Fortunately, Senior Sister forced us to use the flying soul guide at the beginning." Chu Qingtian changed the subject, "Otherwise, how long would it take us to run back!"
When this group of defeated soldiers finally returned to the outside of Soto City, they couldn't help but burst into tears when they saw the school gate which was many times more simple than before.
The three inner court students almost rushed into the gate of Shrek Academy, with Xiao Xiao being the exception.
Since they brought back the news that Zhang Lexuan and Cai Meir were in dire straits and the matter was urgent, they were allowed to attend the Poseidon Pavilion meeting.
When Yan Shaozhe heard that Cai Meir and the others met Zhang Peng, his eyes went dark. If Qian Duoduo hadn't kindly helped him, he would have almost fallen to the ground.
A year ago, he and Xian Lin'er joined forces but failed to suppress Zhang Peng. Instead, they were beaten back step by step by the opponent. If Long Xiaoyao had not intervened, their defeat or even death in battle would have been a matter of time.
But the three inner court students had different attitudes towards the mysterious envoy from Tianlongmen. Wu Ming insisted that the other party had bad intentions. Although she had no evidence, Shrek Academy did not have the standard of presumption of innocence for outsiders. Coupled with the other party's disrespectful behavior, Wu Ming's guess was supported by most of the elders.
As the youngest member of the Sea God Pavilion, Bai Richi calmly put forward the opposite opinion, "I remember she mentioned in front of the deans not to go to the Star Dou Great Forest. In addition, according to what you said before, she also warned you before entering the Star Dou Great Forest. Now you are putting all the accidents on her. You really don't care about Beibei's life or death! Besides, if she wanted to kill you, could you still come back alive? I want to hear what that junior sister thinks."
Xiao Xiao was flattered when she was called. She thought it was not her turn to speak!
"It wasn't that big sister who led the way. The direction of travel along the way was determined by the senior sister, and Elder Cai was behind us. How could she have bad intentions?" Xiao Xiao became more and more excited as she spoke. "When Scorpion Tiger Douluo released the beast soul, you were all busy running away. It was that big sister who saved me!"
"Mr. Cai has already signaled us to run! Didn't you see it?" Wu Ming argued.
"Wu Ming, that's enough! Junior high school girl is not even an inner courtyard student yet, how does she know what that means?" Han Ruoruo retorted.
"This..." Wu Ming looked a little embarrassed. She really didn't think much when she said this.
"She saved you because she wanted to poach you!" Wu Ming was eager to make excuses for himself, but his words were incoherent. "Which force wouldn't want a twin martial spirit? Otherwise, why would she be so nice to you along the way?"
"Really?" Xuan Zi, who was sitting at the top, finally spoke. He glanced at Xiao Xiao meaningfully. In order to keep Xiao Xiao completely, it seemed that something had to be done.
