568 Chapter 568 “Meeting Old Enemy“
"What? Is there any rule like that?" Shu Chen was in disbelief when the guard appeared out of nowhere to stop them from entering the valley.
They only needed to jump down to the valley...the dark unknown valley down there. Three of them were enough to get the blood grass, why would they need 5 people?
"This is an order from the tournament staff. If you participants break this order, you will be eliminated automatically." The guard’s face was stoic even when facing Long Ao Zhen, who clearly was stronger than him.
The guard may be stronger than Li Shi Ying and Shu Chen, but in front of Long Ao Zhen, he was nothing more than an ant. Usually, people would cower in fear at facing Long Ao Zhen, even though the man hasn’t done anything, but this guard...
He stood still without any expressional change! This guard must be a special guard, not a mere normal guard.
"I get it, let’s go back." Li Shi Ying frowned, and upon seeing Long Ao Zhen, who nodded at her, she backed down. She didn’t want to abuse her power just to force their way in with just three people.
She didn’t know why they needed to be in a 5 man team, but if that was the requirement, they would just find another 2 participants that wanted to find blood grass too.
"Li Shi Ying...how do we find the other 2?" Shu Chen gulped as they went away from the valley. Actually, he was rather relieved they didn’t enter the valley yet.
From this place, the valley looked so scary down there! He didn’t know how deep the valley was, since all he could see was thick fog and darkness. Now they needed to find another 2 participants...he could prepare his heart first.
Long Ao Zhen and Li Shi Ying said that they would be fine, so let’s trust them!
"Let’s go find the other participants first, and ask if they want to go with us in getting the blood grass." Li Shi Ying had a feeling that this setting was made so that there would be a backstabbing scene later.
Not to mention that they might be ambushed by other participants later after they got the blood grass. Well, but with Long Ao Zhen here, everything would be okay!
Little did Li Shi Ying know that she wouldn’t be able to depend on Long Ao Zhen anymore, since there was someone watching her every move.
Qilin Country.
"I want to test that little girl’s strength once more." The guy in green clothes suddenly spoke, startling the other elders who were watching the other participants using their unique techniques.
"Yes lord?" One of the elders cut his connection to the island array to respond to the guy in green clothes. Did he hear it right? Lord wanted to test that little girl AGAIN?
"I think she’s really suited to be my disciple. I want to test her strength, so make sure her boyfriend won’t be in the way." The guy yawned as he left the room, heading to his usual place to cultivate.
His journey to this continent wasn’t a waste after all. Now, he could get a talented disciple, one that could even rival other disciples in the middle realm!
"Yes Lord." the elder quickly bowed before contacting the guard in Li Shi Ying’s island to give him order.
Village.
"What? Blood grass? Go to poisonous valley? No! It’s suicide!" Another participant refused to go with Li Shi Ying’s team despite seeing Long Ao Zhen, who looked stronger than other participants.
They couldn’t be sure if this strong-looking man would make them as his team’s meat shield! Who wanted to go to that dangerous place anyway? They would rather wait until other participants got it and rob them!
"This is the fifth time. No one wants to go." Shu Chen sighed as he sat down on the ground. They had visited the village near the lake to find participants, and could only find around 5 groups consisting of 2 people there.
They asked them if they wanted to go get the blood grass together, but a pity, no one wanted to go with them.
"Let’s try the merchant village." Li Shi Ying kneaded her temples, feeling frustrated that they wasted their time to find 2 additional members who might backstab them.
Merchant village.
"How come we can’t find the crystal spirit stone anywhere??" Duan Hui Nan whined when she had to go around the village several times, but hadn’t found any.
Of course she won’t find any, unlike Li Shi Ying, since she had to go to another place to hunt it herself. Crystal spirit stones could only be found deep down in a cold cave guarded by a snow divine beast.
"I told you, we have to go to a cave." Gu Zhong shook his head facing the spoiled princess in front of him. They only collected the aromatic wood and golden leaf for now, and these two items...Duan Hui Nan only helped with the golden leaf.
At the same time when Duan Hui Nan and Gu Zhong were resting in the merchant village, about to go find the crystal spirit stone, Li Shi Ying and the others, who also were in the village, accidentally spotted them.
!! Wait, eh?? Isn’t that...Duan Hui Nan??
