Zhang Yifeng is not a fool. What Xu Liang just said seemed to be touting his importance in the team, but in fact, it subconsciously hinted to everyone that Zhang Yifeng was a potential threat to them.
Those who can come here are all arrogant people. Although they appear to be harmonious on the surface, their true colors will be exposed when the benefits are actually distributed.
Xu Liang repeatedly emphasized his importance in the team, but invisibly sent a message to everyone, that is, they were able to obtain the treasure only because of Zhang Yifeng.
Maybe once or twice is nothing, but if people hear it too often, they will inevitably feel resentful about it.
He knew that Lao Xu had taken advantage of himself and used him as a shield in front of everyone. When the conflict broke out, at the critical moment, he came out to make peace with Lao Xu, which not only solved the conflict in the team, but also won everyone's trust. It can be said that it was
Kill two birds with one stone.
In Lingyue Continent, many monks use each other's relationship, and few can become true friends. This is the cruelty of Lingyue Continent, and Zhang Yifeng has long been accustomed to and accepted this.
In his opinion, as long as they don't provoke him, everyone can live in peace and get what they need.
Otherwise, he is definitely not a soft persimmon who can be manipulated and calculated by others at will.
Facing the compliments from everyone, Zhang Yifeng just smiled at them and said nothing.
When Xu Liang saw this, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled and said: "Okay, there is nothing worth exploring in this second area. Let's go to the third area quickly."
After hearing this, everyone nodded and looked at the rolling mountains in front of them, their eyes shining with anticipation.
At this time, in the third area, a team of seven people rested under a big tree. The leader was a handsome man wearing white clothes and carrying a big knife on his back.
The man looked exhausted, and regardless of whether his clothes were stained, he sat on the ground in an imageless manner and panted slightly.
If Zhang Yifeng were here, he would definitely be able to recognize that the person in front of him is Guan Mufeng of the Mad Sword Sect, but at this moment, Guan Mufeng's face no longer has a trace of arrogance and arrogance.
Beside him, there were also six listless monks sitting, one of whom had a pale face, as if he had been poisoned.
"Senior Brother Guan, we must detoxify Liu Tian as soon as possible, otherwise he will die." The only female monk in the team said to Guan Mufeng with a solemn face.
Guan Mufeng showed a hint of irritation in his eyes and asked: "How far are we from the center of the third area?"
Several monks looked at each other, and one of the monks on the first level of the Nascent Soul stage said: "Even if we rush as fast as we can, it will probably take two hours to arrive, but in our current situation, there is no three hours.
Can’t get there.”
"Damn it!" Guan Mufeng's eyes became even more irritated, "Why are there eight-level beasts on the edge of the third area?"
Although he is arrogant, he is not stupid. The reason why he dared to go directly to the fifth area is because the monks in the sect who had been to the Sunset Mountains told him about the situation in the Sunset Mountains. The real dangers in the Sunset Mountains are four to six.
Level 1 areas, while in Level 1 to Level 3 areas, except for some formation mechanisms, there are no powerful beasts at all.
Even in the third area, the most powerful beasts are only level seven. As for the beasts of level eight and above, they have long since disappeared here.
But just now, they encountered a level eight beast!
The strength of the eighth-level beasts is equivalent to that of the Yuanying stage. There are several Yuanying stage monks in their team. Guan Mufeng alone has the peak cultivation level of the Yuanying stage. If they were ordinary eighth-level beasts, they would not be in such a mess.
.
But what they encountered was the Xuanming Giant Scorpion!
The Mysterious Giant Scorpion is not a powerful beast among the eighth-level beasts, but it is the most difficult to deal with because its vitality is very tenacious. Unless its head is cut off, it cannot be killed at all.
It is not easy to cut off the head of the Xuanming Giant Scorpion, because the hardest part of the Xuanming Giant Scorpion is its head. Even if Guan Mufeng holds a level nine weapon, it is still difficult to kill the Xuanming Giant Scorpion.
A lot of effort.
In addition to being difficult to deal with, the most frightening thing about the Xuanming giant scorpion is its poison. Once stabbed or bitten by it, if the poison cannot be detoxified in time, even a monk in the Nascent Soul stage can be poisoned to death.
Under the combined efforts of everyone, although the giant Xuanming scorpion was killed, Liu Feng in the team was stabbed by the scorpion's tail and poisoned.
Guan Mufeng's question was destined to remain unanswered, because no one knew why an eighth-level beast appeared in the third area.
"Someone!"
At this time, Guan Mufeng's expression changed, and with his keen perception, he felt a vague aura behind him stabbing at the back of his head.
"Be careful, someone is attacking!"
Guan Mufeng only had time to remind everyone, and then he suddenly pulled out his sword, turned around and blocked it in front of him.
Keng!
A dagger tempered with poison hit the back of the knife, making a crisp impact sound.
"You can't be considered a hero if you hurt someone in the back. If you have the ability, come out!" Guan Mufeng looked at the direction where the dagger came from and shouted coldly.
"Jie Jie, Kuang Dao Guan Mu Feng is indeed worthy of his reputation. He is still so powerful after fighting against the Xuan Ming giant scorpion. It is really powerful." A gloomy voice came from deep in the dense forest.
Hearing this voice, Guan Mufeng's expression became serious. He was unable to lock the opponent's position!
"Who are you, and why are you at odds with me, Guan Mufeng?" Guan Mufeng asked in a deep voice.
"Jie Jie." The voice let out a spooky laugh, "Guan Mufeng, how does that Xuanming giant scorpion taste?"
Guan Mufeng was stunned, his face suddenly changed, and he said sternly: "Did you lure that Xuanming giant scorpion here?"
He was not a stupid person. From what the mysterious man said just now, he instantly realized that the appearance of the mysterious giant scorpion was really weird.
"Jiejie, I just killed that beast's cub, but I didn't expect it to chase it here. I thought I was no match for it, so I can only trouble you to help me solve it."
After hearing the mysterious man's words, Guan Mufeng's eyes turned cold and murderous.
He has always been the only one who can boss others around, but he didn't expect that today he would act as a shield for others.
"Hmph, you are a villain who only dares to scheme against people's backs. I, Guan Mufeng, swear that I will definitely kill you!" Guan Mufeng said coldly.
"Kill me? Guan Mufeng, you guys from the Mad Sword Sect really have no brains. You can't even find me, why should you kill me?" The mysterious voice sneered.
Guan Mufeng's face twitched, and his face was as cold as frost.
