C172 The Atmosphere Is Tense

Just like that, Su Jin and Lu Qi joined Ximen Hong's group and headed down the Netherpassage Peak together.

Although Ximen Hong and the others agreed to bring Su Jin along for Lu Qi's sake, they acted as if Su Jin did not exist along the way and treated Lu Qi warmly.

Especially the burly youth. He was Ximen Hong's younger brother and his name was Ximen Chen. Along the way, he kept trying to please Lu Qi, but Lu Qi acted very coldly and did not say a word.

Ximen Chen was very unhappy. It was one thing for Lu Qi to treat him coldly, but she treated everyone the same way. She only treated Su Jin gently, which Ximen Chen could not bear.

What right did a Martial Mentor Stage trash have to be chosen by a beauty like Lu Qi?

Ximen Chen's eyes were gloomy as he looked at Su Jin. Occasionally, a sinister look would appear in his eyes.

After walking for a while, he was unexpectedly lucky that he didn't encounter any Devil Man along the way.

They were not far from the foot of the mountain. The sense of urgency in everyone's hearts began to disappear, and they all heaved a sigh of relief.

If they had known earlier that they would encounter such a thing, they would have been foolish enough to accept such a mission.

Suddenly, Ximen Hong's footsteps stopped.

Almost at the same time, Su Jin and Lu Qi also stopped and looked forward.

"What's wrong, big brother?"

Ximen Chen asked curiously.

"There's the smell of blood in front of us."

Ximen Hong's expression became serious. When he said this, the expressions of Martial Spirit Stage Martial Artist and the others around him became serious. The Demonic Beast at the foot of the mountain was usually weak, and it was difficult to harm the martial artists participating in this mission. Therefore, it was very likely that those people were injured by the Devil Man.

They were about to leave this spiritual land, but they actually encountered this kind of thing again. Everyone's mood was very bad.

Ximen Chen looked at Su Jin coldly and ordered, "Kid, you go ahead and scout."

Su Jin knew that this guy was looking for trouble with him. Without even looking at him, he said indifferently, "Why?"

A cold light flashed across Ximen Chen's eyes and he said coldly, "Why should I? We were only able to protect you for the sake of Miss Lu. Otherwise, you would have come here safely. We are only asking you to scout the way. You're not even willing to do such a small thing, so why are you asking us? You really don't know what's good for you! "

When everyone heard this, they all stared at Su Jin with dissatisfaction. "Kid, you've gone too far."

"I've protected you for so long, yet you still refuse to do some small things. You're courting death!"

"Cut the crap. Quickly go and scout the path!"

Everyone was somewhat dissatisfied with Su Jin. Other than Ximen Hong who was indifferent, they all showed signs of becoming angry.

A trace of coldness flashed across Su Jin's eyes. These guys really thought too highly of him. Just as he was about to say something...

"Enough, I'll go and scout the way!"

Lu Qi couldn't bear to see these people joining hands to attack Su Jin. She immediately shouted coldly.

"Miss Lu, how can this be? Your strength is only second to my big brother. No matter what, I can't let you scout the way."

When Ximen Chen heard this, he hastily said. His eyes were filled with a fierce light as he looked at Su Jin, "We must let this guy scout the path. Among us, he is the weakest. No one else can go except him!"

"That's right. He must go!"

"Get lost if you don't scout the way. We don't protect useless trash!"

The other people were even more impolite and said coldly.1

That Ximen Hong also didn't interfere with the words of both sides. However, with his status, he didn't say anything to stop Ximen Chen and the others. Clearly, he tacitly agreed that Ximen Chen and the others were targeting Su Jin.

Su Jin was extremely unhappy in his heart. Did these self-righteous people really think that he was easy to bully?

Right at this moment -

Rumble!

A sandstorm like sound interrupted everyone's conflict.

"Not good!" Ximen Hong's face darkened, and his eyes became extremely serious.

Everyone looked towards the foot of the mountain. Suddenly, they saw a pack of wolves with dense green flaming fur rushing out from all directions.

The Blue Fire Wolf was a group of Demonic Beasts, and it was one of the most terrifying Demonic Beast in the Netherpassage Peak. This kind of demon wolf, if it was alone, its strength might not be that great. However, they would often form groups, and their teamwork was extremely strong. They would form groups and kill. It was even more powerful than a human army.

This group of Blue Fire Wolves that had suddenly appeared had ferocious auras. Among the pack of wolves, there were actually quite a number of Martial Spirit Demonic Beasts. Among them, there was one that was the largest, a demonic wolf that was comparable to an elephant. Its imposing manner was like a mountain, and it was incomparably terrifying. It possessed the strength of a fifth level Martial Spirit Stage. It was the Wolf King of a pack of wolves.

Everyone's expression changed dramatically, "Azure Fire Wolf, why are they here? The place they live in is a high-end place in the Netherpassage Peak!"

"It's very likely that they were driven away by the Devil Man!"

Lu Qi's expression also sank. The Blue Fire Wolves were in groups, and there were no natural enemies in the Netherpassage Peak. They rarely went down the mountain, but at this moment, they appeared in this sort of low-lying area. There was only one possibility, and that was that they had encountered an enemy they could not defeat. They had to escape from the Netherpassage Peak.

Once the group of Blue Fire Wolves walked out of the forest, they quickly pounced towards Su Jin and his group. Even though they were fleeing, when they encountered food, they did not mind stopping. They first ate a full meal and recovered their strength.

Although the Wolf King's strength was lower than Ximen Hong's by one realm, the number of wolves exceeded Su Jin and his group by an unknown amount. Everyone thought that if something went wrong, they might really die here.

"Bastard, it's all your fault that you didn't scout the way. Otherwise, we would have escaped Netherpassage Peak long ago. You deserve to die!"

Ximen Chen's expression was extremely ugly. He immediately killed the pack of wolves, treating it as Su Jin's fault. Immediately, his eyes became fierce. With a shout, he punched out a Qi Explosion towards Su Jin's head.

In order to vent his anger, he wanted to kill Su Jin with a punch. This Ximen Chen was obviously used to treating human lives like grass. Ximen Hong and the others did not stop him. In their eyes, whether Su Jin lived or died had nothing to do with them.

"You are courting death!"

A trace of coldness flashed across Su Jin's eyes. He had never been polite to anyone who wanted to kill him. Just as killing intent was rising in his heart, he suddenly stopped.

"Stop!"

A majestic wave of True Qi suddenly erupted from Lu Qi's body. She also threw out a punch. The punch that came later came first and collided with Ximen Chen's fist.

Ximen Chen grunted. His strength was far weaker than Lu Qi's. How could he withstand Lu Qi's punch? His body could not help but want to retreat.

But at this moment, a big hand pressed on Ximen Chen's shoulder. It was Ximen Hong. The moment he pressed down on Ximen Chen, his eyes immediately lit up.

It was unknown if it was an illusion or not, but at this moment, Lu Qi felt a shocking killing intent burst out from Ximen Hong's body. Immediately, she became extremely vigilant.

She had been on guard against Ximen Hong for a long time. Previously, Ximen Hong had nearly a hundred men under his command, but now, only Martial Spirit Stage Martial Artist was left. This kind of situation was extremely abnormal.

Seeing the attitudes of these people towards Su Jin, Lu Qi faintly guessed that these people might have been chased by the Devil Man. They had abandoned those Martial Mentor Stage warriors and fled for their lives.

After all, the lowest strength of the Devil Man was at the Martial Spirit. No matter how many Martial Mentor Stage warriors there were, they would not be of much use to the Devil Man. Moreover, because they were too conspicuous, they would attract the Devil Man's attention.

According to what they had done, abandoning the Martial Mentor Stage warriors to flee for their lives was extremely likely.
