chapter 12

Forests of demonic beasts are generally dangerous.

When walking in the forest, one should always be careful.

Of course, this group of students are only in the Air Entry realm, so they only move around the outermost piece of the area. This place is not yet called dangerous ... not to mention there are leading teachers who are secretly escorting them, generally not enough to endanger lives.

But there is no guarantee that such an adventure will definitely not get people killed.

But, on the cultivation path of a cultivator, encounter never goes hand in hand with danger.

If even a small academy adventure is a cause for concern and worry ... then it is better not to cultivate before it is too late.

A group of nine people, carefully walking in the forest.

Yue Ge is a bit distracted, Zhu Yu is also involved in this adventure, but she is responsible for the overall safety ... probably won't appear in front of the students of the Air Entry Realm.

Suddenly, Jiu Fang Xuan Ling stopped in his tracks.

"The purple flower under that tree is the Spirit Plant Purple Cloud Plant!" He gestured for his teammates to look over. "It's on the list, you can exchange it for experience points."

The academy had made a list, and anyone who hunted a demonic beast that was on the list, or picked a spirit plant that was on it, would receive the corresponding experience points.

At the end of the experience, the team with the most experience points is the final winner.

The usefulness of memorizing biological knowledge points ... no, memorizing the list of demon beasts and spiritual plants comes into play at this point!

However, Yue Ge had only just started memorizing in the end and didn't know much - at times like this, Jiu Fang Jie, who had the old lady's hang-up in the pendant, naturally became the team's knowledge of things, and even Lu Ren Bing and his two men didn't target him so obviously.

As soon as the name of the Purple Cloud Plant came up, one of the girls who had selected the cultivation medicine recalled, "If you want to pick the Purple Cloud Plant, you have to put on an ice silk sleeve, grab its roots and uproot it, then put it in a jade box."

"Then you go quickly!" Lu Renbin, being impatient, was busy urging.

"But ... but this purple cloud plant is already ripe and there will definitely be cloud-eating ants guarding the side!" The wood-based pill refining girl wanted to cry.

The cloud-eating ants ... were also demonic beasts on the list, only - this ant was a gold for some reason and had a strong attack, not to mention the fact that gold could overcome wood, the pill refining girl thought she was no match for them and retreated.

Six pairs of eyes turned to Yue Ge at the same time, shining with hope.

Yue Ge: "... Then I'll take out and deal with this cloud-eating ant."

Okay, let's fight ants, let's fight.

"Wait!"

Jiu Fang Xuan Ling leapt out of the group and volunteered. "Fire can overcome gold, I'm a fire spirit root, so I can overcome the cloud-eating ants, let me do it!"

Yue Ge pondered for a moment and smiled, "Good, Senior Jiu Fang please."

The six team members who knew nothing: ∑( °|||

No, Captain! Wouldn't it be better to let this Manakinja be an honest spirit discriminator?

What if he gets a bite and a kick from this cloud-eating ant and gets seriously injured and can't continue his training?

Yue Ge smiled warmly and said, "I believe that Senior Jiu Fang has such a skill."

Of course I had to believe.

In the novel, all of the people who served as Jiu Fang Jie's captain - except for Jiu Fang Jie and his harem - were all above-board cannon fodder who were going to get their asses handed to them.

One of the reasons they are held in contempt by Jagged Ninefang is: what? You won't let me be part of the hunt - are you looking down on me? Fine! Then I'll show you what I can do!

Captain Cannon Fodder then died.

It wasn't that Yue Ge was afraid of this, but since Jiu Fang Jie had offered to be a labourer, it would be a waste of time not to use it.

What's more, if she remembered correctly ... this episode, there would be a girl who would make an appearance.

Jiu Fang Xuan Ling double lit up two flames and walked towards the purple cloud strain.

Step after step, he walked under the canopy ... It was too late when he saw a large white ant two people high jumping down from the canopy, its sharp mouthpiece aimed straight at Jiu Fang Xuan Ling's skull -

The six mere players cried out in shock.

Xiao Junyi, who was shaking his folding fan, also looked grave.

Yue Ge watched calmly, and had to control himself not to show an expression of giddy gourmand.

As expected, Jiu Fang Jie dodged the sharp mouthpiece without panic, and then the other flame attacked the node between the cloud-eating ant's chest and abdomen - its weak point.

Of course, if he had gotten it so easily, the cloud-eating ant would not have been so famous. It quickly shielded the nodule, blocked the flames with its stinging claws and, with a sharp whistle, stabbed at Jiu Fang Xuan Ling with its tail chewing needle ...

The two sides went back and forth, with the Jiu Fang slag mouth constantly emitting a low roar of "hey" and "ha" and the cloud-eating ants occasionally emitting a whistle.

Yue Ge watched with great interest, as if he was watching a live Ultraman fight a small monster.

Gradually, Jiu Fang Xuan Ling gained the upper hand.

"This Wanjinzi ... is quite powerful ..."

"I'm afraid this cloud-eating ant is equivalent to the high stage of the Entering Air realm!"

"If it were me, I'm afraid I would have been seriously injured by this move of the cloud-eating ant ... He actually carried it off."

The six team members murmured, convinced of Jiu Fang Xuan Ling's strength.

Yue Ge glanced at them, his smile gradually deepened ... These few people are probably not going to be cannon fodder, congratulation.

Over there, the battle between Jiu Fang Xuan Ling and the big ants has come to its final hurdle.

The cloud-eating ant, which had lost several of its stinging claws, was unable to resist and could only dodge with difficulty, but it was unable to do so ...

As the crowd rejoiced at the prospect of the cloud-eating ants being killed by Jiu Fang Xuan Ling's fist, they saw a light purple light strike out from behind itself, blocking the fist.

Yue Ge smiled.

As expected.

"Who!" Jiu Fang Jie turned around warily.

"What are you doing bullying it!" A petulant shout came, and he saw a young girl jump out from the forest behind him.

As soon as Yue Ge raised his eyes, he saw a pink fluffy ball on the maiden's shoulder, and was instantly certain - it was that Spirit Clan Saint Maiden all right.

The Holy Maiden of the Spirit Clan, Ling Tao, was a small and pretty girl who wore a small light purple dress and always had a fluffy spirit mouse on her shoulder.

She was originally staying at the Spirit Clan's territory when she accidentally activated one of the clan's teleportation arrays, which led her to appear in the Twilight Forest in the Human Empire.

Ling Tao lightly crossed over Jiu Fang Xuan Ling and appeared beside the Cloud Eater Ant in the blink of an eye, crouching down to check its injuries while making strange syllables out of her mouth.

The cloud-eating ant raised its head weakly and made a strange sound.

The more Ling Tao listened, the angrier she became, and raised her head, glaring viciously at Jiu Fang Xuan Ling.

"You... how can you guys do this!" The little girl was so angry that she couldn't speak clearly. "It's too bullying to spirit beasts! Sister is right, you humans are all big villains!"

At these words, the crowd was shocked.

"Jiu Fang! Come here quickly - she's a foreigner!" Xiao Junye was the first to react and shouted anxiously.

In the eyes of the human race, the rest of the eight races could all be called by the term foreigner. If they were not of my race, their hearts would be different, and the foreigners had never been scorned by the human race.

"... Why should I run?" Jiu Fang Xuan Ling was not impressed. "And you girl, why do you come up and curse people?"

The latter half of the sentence was addressed to Ling Tao.

Ling Tao's eyes widened as she condemned, "How dare you have the nerve to ask me! It has told me that it was guarding the food it found for a good reason, and was about to eat the fresh fruit, and you came to snatch it. When you came to rob it, it naturally resisted, and you killed it so hard - you would have split it in two if I hadn't come! How is that not bullying it?"

The crowd: "..."

That ... sounded right, too.

But this is a cloud-eating ant, a demonic beast! What's wrong with killing demon beasts?

Yue Ge: "... pfft."

Yes, this is a famous scene, the first meeting between Ling Tao and Jiu Fang Jie.

This scene established Spirit Peach's unshakeable position as the First Holy Mother.

In fact, truly speaking, Spirit Peach was right.

As a Saintess, Ling Tao grew up with her fellow clansmen and all kinds of demonic beasts and spiritual plants since she was a child, so she was simple-minded.

In her eyes, demonic beasts were all her friends. Now, she actually saw such a bad human race, robbing is not even enough, but also kill demon beasts, simply outrageous!

... naturally had to come out to stop this nasty human.

Of course, she didn't have to hate it for long.

I don't know what the author was thinking, how could such a kind-hearted sister look at the Jiu Fang slag who had killed countless demon beasts? In the later stages, she even helped the Jiu Fang slag kill ... confused.

"You can't say things like that, little girl. The weak are strong, and even if it wasn't me, but another cloud-eating ant came today, it would have done the same." Jiu Fang Xuan Ling spoke with a sense of urgency.

Ling Tao was tit-for-tat: "Fine, the weak are stronger than the strong, according to you, I am stronger than you, do you dare to kill it in front of me?"

Jiu Fang Xuan Ling was speechless.

He could not probe the realm of this little girl who had suddenly appeared, yet he could feel her vast and profound spiritual power.

He really couldn't beat her ...

Jiu Fang Xuan Ling wilted.

The cloud-eating ants were behind Ling Tao, flaunting their tentacles.

Yue Ge cleared his throat, "This girl, may I have your attention?"

Ling Tao gave a start and turned her head to look at her, blinking.

"Go ahead, I'm listening."

The tone was surprisingly good.

"It's the one who put down the kill first." Innocence was written all over Echigo's face. "The people on our side didn't even touch its purple cloud strain - but what happened was, this cloud-eating ant laid down the kill straight away, and if it wasn't for Senior Jiu Fang's quick reaction, it would have been split into five, six, eight sections by now! Even its internal organs would have been cut out. ... The kind where the skin was split open, the bones turned out, and blood splattered all over the floor!"

Yue Ge's expression was spot on, pained and bewildered, "What did we do wrong? I caught a glimpse of its beautiful form hidden in the canopy and wanted to say hello ... Is that our fault too?"

Jiu Fang Slag: "..."

You don't have to go into so much detail about how I died!

Besides, what's the point of explaining so much, this girl is obviously on the side of the cloud-eating ants ...

The girl is obviously on the side of the cloud-eating ants.

The cloud-eating ants were unsure of what to say, and kaka-da-da-da returned the words.

The next moment, Spirit Peach got up dryly and moved out of the way.

"Well, settle your feud yourselves." Spirit Peach sighed. "Alas, you cloud-eating ants, you are also unkind. Since it was you who had bad intentions first, it is only right that you should be killed in return. I don't care about you anymore."

Cloud-eating ant: ?!!!

Yue Ge smiled.

Ling Tao was naive, but her naivety was also tinged with a cruelty that was unique to the natural world.

In the previous Ling Tao's view, it was the Jiu Fang slag side that was at fault, so naturally she had to protect the cloud-eating ants.

But now it seemed that it was the cloud-eating ant that moved first ... a weak one provoking the strong one, and it would have been its fault.

So why should it care?

I'm not sure if I'm on the side of justice.
