Chapter 18:
Chapter 18: Want to Take Advantage of Me? Not a Chance:
These two women must be out of their minds!
Such a giant python would be a rare item even on the black market.
Its level had already reached a rare 4th grade.
If Gu Feng hadn’t intervened, the two of them would have been bitten, poisoned, and then helplessly throwing themselves into his arms.
And now, they had their eyes on his snake skin.
Ha, women.
Gu Feng walked away without even looking back.
The two women were left standing in the wind, confused.
“Sister, should we follow him?”
Although Wen Lingyun liked Gu Feng, she could see that her sister had been silently ignored.
Wen Lingruan’s face turned red, and she shook her head.
She indeed had some thoughts of taking advantage of him, but she hadn’t said she wouldn’t pay for it.
Besides, shouldn’t male cultivators be more generous?
Wen Lingruan felt extremely uncomfortable.
She angrily watched Gu Feng walk away and stomped her foot.
“Seems like he doesn’t want to take us with him. Let’s go, Lingyun, we’ll head the other way.”
Sensing her sister’s mood, Wen Lingyun asked with a smile, “Sister, are you mad because of what Fellow Daoist Gu said? Or is it because this is the first time someone has rejected you so directly, and you’re feeling a little embarrassed?”
Wen Lingruan brushed off her sister’s hand, “I’m not like you, getting weak in the knees whenever you see a handsome man.”
“Hmph, stop lying to me. From the way you look, I can tell you also have some feelings for Fellow Daoist Gu. You’re just too shy to admit it.” Wen Lingyun hugged her sister. “Sister, we’ve been together since childhood. Even if we share a Daoist partner, I wouldn’t mind.”
Wen Lingruan’s face flushed red, and she didn’t refute this time.
Gu Feng had promised Liu Fengqing that he would take care of their junior brothers and sisters in the secret realm.
So now, he was trying to locate them.
“System, scan the surroundings to see if there are any disciples from the Zhengyuan Sect nearby.”
This was the system’s time to shine.
The system, eager to finally speak, couldn’t hold back.
[You only come to me when you need something, but silence me when you don’t. Host, you have no regard for my rights!]
Gu Feng replied, “A system talking about rights? Just hurry up.”
Though the system complained, it knew that the reason Gu Feng was still in this world was its fault.
It diligently opened the scan.
A radar-like image appeared in front of Gu Feng.
To the north, there was a green dot surrounded by several yellow dots, along with a large cluster of red dots.
[The green dot represents the Zhengyuan Sect disciples.]
The yellow dots are disciples from other sects.]
[And the red dots are beasts.]
The system explained.
[It looks like they’re being surrounded by beasts. They’re in real danger!]
“If you can’t say anything useful, then don’t talk.” Gu Feng’s figure flashed as he rushed toward the green dot.
If he arrived too late, someone might actually die.
…
“What are we going to do? There are so many beasts. Are we going to die here today?” The female disciples were already panicking.
Surrounded in the middle, they were the first to lose control.
“Don’t be afraid! I’ve already sent a distress signal. There are sect disciples nearby; they’ll surely come to help us. We just need to hold on!”
A Lingyun Sect disciple, swinging his sword in front, had barely finished speaking when a gash of blood appeared across his face.
Before them was a large swarm of scorpions.
These long-tailed scorpions were highly venomous.
The blood on the male disciple’s face quickly turned black.
He swiftly pulled a red antidote pill from his storage pouch, swallowed it, and sat down inside the human circle to meditate and heal.
Beside him, another disciple’s body had already turned black.
That disciple was wearing the robes of the Zhengyuan Sect.
“Brother Gao, do you have any more antidote pills?”
Feng Ningyuan opened his eyes weakly and asked.
The disciple surnamed Gao shook his head, looking at Feng Ningyuan, whose entire body had turned black and had very pale lips.
In truth, he still had a few antidote pills, but he felt Feng Ningyuan was beyond saving.
“The Lingyun Sect disciples will be here soon, Daoist Feng. Just hold on a bit longer.” Although he was certain Feng Ningyuan was doomed, he still offered a comforting word.
Now surrounded by a swarm of beasts, allowing panic would only affect everyone’s morale.
Feng Ningyuan understood his meaning and nodded slightly.
“If only Senior Brother were here.”
Was Feng Ningyuan afraid of dying?
Of course he was!
The way the others looked at him now was as if he were already dead, which only deepened his despair.
If his senior brother were here, he surely wouldn’t die…
Why didn’t he seek out his Senior Brother right after entering the secret realm? Why did he stay with this group?
He regretted it deeply.
When they first entered the secret realm, he immediately thought of finding his senior brother.
But this group, made up of disciples from several sects, made him feel safer.
He thought it would be better to consider his safety before looking for his senior brother.
That was his reasoning.
But he hadn’t expected that some in this group had been foolish enough to provoke a scorpion swarm.
The scorpions weren’t to be trifled with.
After they had killed three large venomous scorpions, thousands more scorpions had swarmed up from the ground.
