C21 (2/2)
However, after the two of them slept for a while, Li Xun felt that luck wasn't something like that at all. He kept his hands on Qin Qing, and the brothers below him also stood up straight, while Qin Qing was bashful and coquettish, as if she was willing to let them pick whatever they wanted. Even though she knew that their current living arrangements might affect their future achievements, she would rather see Li Xun unhappy. In the end, he couldn't help but admire Student Li Xun's strong perseverance. He ruthlessly slapped himself on the face, jumped off the bed, and took three benches to line up in a row, then fell asleep just like that.
When Qin Qing saw Li Xun's childish side, she couldn't help but chuckle to herself. However, he was still a bit upset over not being able to become Li Xun's real wife for too long. He also looked forward to that moment even more.
Six days ago, in Sky Mountain Country's Demonic Beast Mountain Range.
Tian Fen and the other three had been hunting the sword spirit for six days now, but up until now, none of them had succeeded. Their wish was beautiful, but reality was cruel. The four of them simply had no experience on how to find solitary demonic beasts. Over the past few days, they had come up with many methods. For example, separating people to attract the attention of demon beasts and finding a chance to fight one on one. However, every time they managed to do so, they would always end up being chased by a group. There were a few times when he finally encountered a suitable demonic beast, but after just a short battle, the other nearby demonic beasts all came flocking over like bees smelling honey. What they didn't know was that in the past when they killed the Sword Spirit, they had a deterrent like Li Xun. That was why everything had become so easy. But it was their turn to be completely different.
Almost every day, the four of them asked why it was so easy for Senior Brother Li Xun to find a suitable demonic beast to be alone with. This was what the four of them always said about the gap between them.
On the eleventh day after they entered the Demonic Beast Mountain Range, they still did not make much progress. The four of them felt that they couldn't continue to waste time like this. If they missed the competition, they would have to come up with a practical method.
”Do you still remember the time when senior brother Su Mu and the rest killed the sword spirit at the same time?” Zhou Jie asked.
”Are you saying that the last time we came together, we also learned how to simultaneously kill sword spirits?” Dong Nana understood Zhou Jie's meaning. Su Mu and the others had managed to hunt down a suitable sword spirit within a short period of time. Under Li Xun's instructions, they attacked at the same time. Otherwise, how could they have completed the mission within two hours?
”That's right, we do not have much time left, we only have half a month left. But, we will need at least eight days to travel, and we will need to hunt down four Sword Spirits in the remaining seven days. This will include the uncertain time for us to recuperate from our injuries. We can only fight with our lives on the line. Actually, I was already prepared to fight with my life on the line when I came here.
”Fight.” Cheng Kun spoke very little and seemed a bit gloomy, but he never dragged his feet.
Dong Nana and Tian Fen looked at each other with determination. Dong Nana extended her right hand, and Tian Fen did the same. Next, it was Zhou Jie, Cheng Kun. The four of them held my hands together and shouted at the same time, ”Fight!”
”Now, I will talk about the plan. Through the past few days of observation, we have become quite familiar with this area, and there is one place that is most suitable for us, but it is also very risky.” Now, I will talk about the plan, and after these few days of observation, we have become quite familiar with this area, and now, there is one place that is most suitable for us, but it is also quite risky. If one of them is above the mid-Sixth Order, we'll be in grave danger. And before anyone else succeeds, we cannot allow one of us to fail. ”
”I have no problem with that. I trust you.”
”Me too.”
”No problem.”
”Alright, we will rest for the night. Tomorrow, we will go meet them.”
At this moment, the four of them finally trusted each other, entrusting their lives to each other, opening up a new space for their future lives.
