Chapter 280 Dangerous place (1/2)
A group of three people, in each group, ten experts.
Members of the Piercing Mountain Sword sect bid farewell to their friends, hugged their lover, teared up as they said goodbye to their teachers.
The same can be said to the Grand Martial Sect, although the majority of them are men, they are still filled with yang energy, there are some females at the sect and those that are together here bid their goodbyes.
Some manly men merely bid their goodbyes at the elders and sect master.
For the Celestial Azure Pavilion, they only have one elder and Wu Shan Mei to bid farewell to, they had paid a huge price in order to save Wang Guan.
Meanwhile… For some reason, many cried when Mo Xie was about to embark, most of them single women from the Celestial Azure Pavilion, Wu Shan Mei couldn't help but sigh.
Mo Xie didn't know why but he thought of something ridiculous; 'Maybe they felt that all the time they gave me food will be wasted if I die…'
(Author'sawesomenote: Yeah, they sure would, don't worry, sorry about this)
After he thought of that, he approached Wang Guan: ”Senior Wang, you should take this, as soon as your body is completely healed, drink it and digest everything, you should be able to become stronger.”
Wang Guan took the flask, he didn't know what it is, but all he knows is that Mo Xie will cause him and the group no harm, he cupped his hand: ”I'll do my best.”
Mo Xie nods his head: ”Then, till we meet again.”
As they were about to depart, Mo Xie stayed near the cave exit and looked at the brave 29 people, he smiled at them and cupped his hand respectfully: ”May we all return alive and healthy.”
The others hearing this felt shock at first, then, a moment later felt solemn, a few more moments later, they felt warm, they felt a tinge of fear from death, but then, something is keeping them up.
All of those that weren't participating felt that they were about to cry, they cupped their hand and respectfully said: ”We hope that you all return alive.”
The other 28 experts felt something burning in their heart, they resolutely bowed and cupped their hand: ”We will do our best!”
As they did, all walked out of the cave and separated in three directions.
The two advance parties were tasked to scout five hundred kilometers from both left and right, Mo Xie's advance party is tasked with the front.
Mo Xie isn't going to just scout a mere five hundred kilometers, he'll go as far as he could, if he could no longer push forward, then, that's the time he'll recuperate back to the back.
He led everyone with fast speed, the members including Bingyun felt worried, they are worried that Mo Xie's shouldering the responsibilities alone and would like to escape the place faster and faster.
But as time went on, they didn't think so. They would stop once in a while, they would keep a low state and would let a few dangers pass by.
They couldn't help but look at Mo Xie in shock, he could sense danger a few kilometers away, this caused their trust in the latter to increase.
Sometimes, they would stop as Mo Xie would pick some random herb or stone, well, to them it might be random, but they thought that Mo Xie has uses for it.
Their journey was smooth thanks to Mo Xie's extremely sensitive perception, they would sometimes stop and see a horde of animals they hadn't seen before yet, their cultivation is already at Immortal Ascension rank with the weakest at Heaven Encompassing.
Well, they are short on food, hence, those that were weak and were left behind were killed and stored immediately.
3 days past, 650 kilometers scouted.
Due to Mo Xie's smooth leading, their speed had far surpassed the other two advance parties who should only have been at more than two hundred kilometers tops, without Mo Xie's sensitivity, they need to trek with extreme caution.
”Senior Mo, we should already be done with our quota right?” One from the group spoke. His respect for Mo Xie is already like that of a teacher, through their journey, Mo Xie would sometimes teach them some knowledge.
Mo Xie nodded his head: ”But I wish to further scout. If there's a single kilometer left before we can find clues, isn't it a waste? I wanted everyone to get out of this dangerous place as soon as possible.”
He paused for a bit, yes, if he wanted to, he should've scouted alone, but he smiled and looked at them: ”Do you guys want to return? If you guys want to, we could.”
As they heard his words, they didn't even need to think and shook their heads: ”No, I also wish to help as much as I can.”
”Me too, senior brother, we're not complaining, we just thought that you're pushing yourself too hard.”
”Yes, senior brother, we can go ahead, you should rest for a bit, let us do get some actions too.”
Mo Xie smiled at them, but he shook his head: ”You guys don't need to do that, it will be troublesome.” He paused for a bit, he looked around and added: ”If we're in familiar territory, then, I'll let you guys go ahead and search, but this is a dangerous place, a single step can cause us so much trouble even to the point of death. This place is always dark, without good perceptions, we can definitely be lost.”
Everyone nodded in understanding, although Mo Xie is far weaker than them, they respected his every word and decision.
Mo Xie smiled at then and spoke: ”We should stay here and make camp, it will be darker soon.”
Everyone nods their head, they searched for a huge tree and started to dig at it to set up camp.
Four cultivators are flame type cultivators, sadly, they couldn't make a fire or it else, it will attract predators.
