Chapter 172 Chapter 172: Harvested souls, the weirdness of the secret realm
They stood under the tree, waiting for the person Lin Xiaoxiao mentioned to help them.
After a long time, Li Waner whispered: "Xiaoxiao, the monster will be here soon. Are we here?"
Lin Xiaoxiao was also a little unsure and looked at her master.
Meng Chen's eyes flashed and he said coldly: "Don't use your ignorance to judge me."
Lin Xiaoxiao's face was full of embarrassment. How could she not believe her if others didn't believe her? Damn it that I had such doubts just now.
Li Waner and the other two monks still had expressions of disbelief on their faces. Although Lin Xiaoxiao was powerful, they were just standing on the side of the road. Are they preparing to go head-to-head with the monster beasts?
Meng Chen was too lazy to pay attention to them. With the shield of space laws, those monsters couldn't see them at all.
At this time, Ji Zhiyin, Wen Ling and the others, who had run far away, turned around and looked back. When they saw that Lin Xiaoxiao and the others had not followed, their faces were full of banter.
Ji Zhiyin snorted coldly: "Lin Xiaoxiao is still too arrogant and stubborn, and she actually dares to stay there to resist the monster."
Wen Ling said nothing, probably to maintain his image of being weak and caring.
At this time, they suddenly saw that the monsters were rushing towards them without any sign of injury, which meant that Lin Xiaoxiao did not help them stop the monsters at all!
"Ah! Lin Xiaoxiao, why didn't those monsters attack Lin Xiaoxiao?" Ji Zhiyin was furious.
The companions around him also looked livid, with their faces full of indignation.
But they soon stopped caring about yelling and cursing. After all, the monsters were indeed much faster than them, and there were birds following them in the sky, making it difficult for them to escape.
On Lin Xiaoxiao's side, she looked like she had been peacefully for a long time. Li Waner and her two classmates watched in horror as the monsters rushed over, and watched anxiously as the monsters rushed past them until they ran away.
"What...what's going on?" Li Waner looked at Lin Xiaoxiao and Meng Chen beside her blankly.
Meng Chen remained indifferent and replied in a nonchalant manner: "It doesn't matter if you are too low-level to understand. Look more and ask less."
Li Waner and the other two monks were filled with shame. The purpose of these words was obvious. They meant what they had just questioned him about.
Li Wan'er was the first to greet him: "I don't know who the senior is, but please tell me that after we go out, we will definitely report to the Ming Sect to express our gratitude!"
Meng Chen waved his hand: "I don't like it."
Li Waner's expression froze, she was already so humble, how could this guy be more attractive than Lin Xiaoxiao?
The space barrier was lifted, and Meng Chen led Lin Xiaoxiao and the others to follow the traces of the monster beasts.
Li Waner deliberately lagged behind and pulled Lin Xiaoxiao behind.
Lin Xiaoxiao knew that he had something to say, so he just fell behind.
After Meng Chen brought the two Zixiao Sect disciples to the front, Li Waner whispered: "Xiaoxiao, who is this guy? He is more arrogant than you."
Lin Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed: "I was young and frivolous before, and I even apologized to you."
Li Waner frowned slightly, her focus was not on that, but on knowing Meng Chen's identity.
"Xiaoxiao, you know, I didn't mean that." Li Waner said.
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at Meng Chen who was walking in front and shook his head: "We can't say this. You will know it later. You just follow him anyway."
Li Waner felt itchy, but it would be rude of her to keep asking. During the half-day journey, they saw many corpses of Zixiao Sect disciples along the way, as well as those of other sects, but relatively few.
And those monster beasts had no intention of letting them go, and seemed to be still pursuing them.
Meng Chen has known this for a long time. This may have been a massacre with ulterior motives! Lin Xiaoxiao asked about the monster beast, and Meng Chen told her about it.
Lin Xiaoxiao and Li Waner looked horrified. What they thought was a simple trial turned out to be a conspiracy!
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the mutilated corpses around him and wondered: "But, what are you trying to do? We are just young monks in the Qi training period, why do you want to massacre us?"
Li Waner also looked puzzled: "That's right! Killing young monks like us seems to be of no use..."
Meng Chen was a little speechless, they knew they were worth a lot. As for what the purpose is, the body is still there and the essence and blood have not been taken away, then there is only the soul.
Meng Chen took a few casual glances and saw that the souls of these people had been taken away, leaving only broken bodies.
Meng Chen felt that he still had some experience in collecting souls. If he really faced the mastermind behind the massacre of these monks, it would not be impossible to take out his Human Emperor's flag and compare with him...
Their speed was not fast, but after the monks were entangled by the monsters, their escape speed became slower and slower. Now Meng Chen and the others could see them from behind.
Not only Zixiao Sect, but also people from eight other sects, and they seemed to have formed some small group and were retreating to Huyin Mountain, the highest mountain in the secret realm.
The terrain of Huyin Mountain is steep, with many cliffs and only some shrubs on it. If the disciples of various sects hide in high places, they can rely on the terrain to slowly fight against those monsters.
This is probably why they unanimously agreed to evacuate there.
Li Waner felt very uncomfortable as she watched the Zixiao Sect disciples fight with those monsters.
After all, unlike Meng Chen and Lin Xiaoxiao, she was not originally from the Zixiao Sect. She had deep feelings for the Zixiao Sect.
Seeing her sad look, Lin Xiaoxiao comforted her in a low voice: "Okay, there are so many of them, they won't be able to suffer for a while, and even if you go, it will be useless, you can't help."
< br>
Li Waner's face was full of sorrow, and her heart was extremely bitter.
On the mountain, Wen Ling, who was hiding behind his senior brothers and sisters, saw Lin Xiaoxiao and Li Waner watching a show in the distance, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.
"Senior Sister Xiaoxiao, are you here to save us? Senior Sister Xiaoxiao!" she shouted.
The disciples of Zixiao Sect followed her gaze and saw Lin Xiaoxiao and Li Waner.
They originally planned to leave Lin Xiaoxiao and Li Waner behind, but they didn't break up. Now they are still standing in the distance, and they suddenly became very angry.
"Lin Xiaoxiao, Li Waner! What else are you doing here? Come to see our jokes?"
Wen Ling's face was filled with tears and she said in disbelief: "Senior Sister Xiaoxiao, Senior Sister Wan'er, is this true? Are you really here to see our jokes?"
Lin Xiaoxiao and Li Waner felt as sick as if they had eaten flies.
It seemed like a sin for them just to look at it from a distance. The key was that when they shouted like this, those monsters must have noticed what was going on here!
Li Waner gritted her teeth and said, "Damn it, they want to kill us!"
