Gu Qing had done what she had to do, and since she needed this opportunity to increase her influence in Cultivation Realm, she smiled slightly, "Since everyone is giving me such praise, I will not be courteous anymore. I will do my best to find a way out and bring everyone out of this place safely."
Although some of the other sects were not convinced, but no one dared to directly question Gu Lee.
Gu Lee changed her usual cold and proud personality, revealing a fake smile, "This place's situation is unclear, I suggest that we send a small team to scout it out."
"Alright, what does Fairy Gu Lee want us to do."
Gu Lee nodded in satisfaction, then turned her head to look towards Gu Qing's direction. "I think that the disciples in Xuanhua Sect can easily complete this simple mission."
Gu Qing's brows instantly furrowed, she never thought that Gu Lee would take revenge on her this quickly. The mission to explore the path was indeed small, but this place was filled with danger. If one was not careful, they would lose their lives.
Gu Qing's emotions rose, but just as she was about to refuse, Ye Lang who was at the side took the initiative and said to Gu Lee: "Don't worry, Fairy Gu Lee, we will complete your orders."
Ye Lang was anxious to contribute to the sect, so he immediately agreed to Gu Lee's suggestion. After all, only after bringing everyone away from here, would his reputation in the Xuanhua Sect slowly rise. Maybe next time, if he encountered such a situation next time, the person that everyone would recommend would not be anyone else but himself.
Gu Qing squinted her eyes, she swallowed the words that were in her mouth, and only stared at Ye Lang's figure.
Although the rest of them were aware of the danger of the pathfinder mission, they had no idea that Gu Lee was deliberately targeting Gu Qing, so they did not have much of an opinion on the matter.
"Let's go!" Ye Lang waved his hand and said to the Xuanhua Sect disciple.
Gu Qing originally did not want to go along with Gu Lee's intentions, but Liu Ying and the others were kept in the dark, so they did not know what was going on. Worried that something would happen to Liu Ying and the others here, she endured her anger and left with the Xuanhua Sect disciples without taking another look at Gu Lee.
Gu Lee watched as Gu Qing and the others' figures gradually disappeared, and a light smile appeared on her face. "Gu Qing, do you think that you can fight against me after you become a cultivator?
Everyone from Xuanhua Sect carefully walked towards the distance. Although Gu Qing had spiritual liquid and Hun Tian Bead by her side, she did not have any magic treasures or body tempering cultivation techniques to defend herself against the dangers. As a result, she vigilantly used her spiritual sense to observe her surroundings.
After they had walked for about an hour, the cultivators from the other sects that entered at the same time had already disappeared.
Aside from Liu Ying, the rest all turned their gazes towards Ye Lang, "Senior Brother Ye, we have been walking for so long and haven't encountered any danger, why don't we go back and inform them?"
Ye Lang was anxious to gain merits so he wanted to understand the situation here. Hence, he immediately said: "Wait, let's go ahead and take a look."
The group continued forward.
Gu Qing noticed that the place was desolate, although there were many bulges, but no plants or grass were present.
"Yi, look! That thing moved a bit." One of the disciples from the same sect, who was from the same Xuanhua Sect, pointed at a protrusion in front of them and shouted.
Gu Qing immediately turned her head to look, but what she saw was exactly the same as what she saw just now, without moving at all.
Ye Lang looked back, "Your vision is blurry."
Just as she was speaking, Liu Ying also shouted out, "Wait, that's not right, we also moved a little."
If one of them said this, then they might be seeing things. If the two of them said that, then it wasn't as simple as a coincidence. Gu Qing immediately focused and observed. Her eyelids did not even blink, and indeed, she saw a protrusion on the desolate ground move a little.
Her eyelids twitched, just at that moment, Ye Lang also noticed that something was amiss, and immediately shouted: "Everyone, retreat!"
But on their way here, wherever they passed, they would be stuck in this kind of bulge. Where could they retreat to?
"All of you, quickly take a look!"
As they turned to run back, one of the bulges in front of them suddenly disappeared, and the ground trembled a little.
"Everyone, quickly stop!" Ye Lang shouted softly. Although he had gone to many secret realms to train, this was his first time bringing so many people here. The pressure on his body increased as sweat continued to roll down his forehead.
He wiped the sweat from his cheeks and lowered his voice to a whisper. "Let's not move and see what's going on."
When the situation was unclear, everyone knew that the best choice was to stay still. Therefore, all of them stopped and held their breaths as they looked at the place where the protrusion had disappeared. The ground there was as flat as if nothing had ever happened.
Gu Qing also noticed the protrusion that had just disappeared. It looked like a rock, but it was unlike the large rocks that were separated from the ground, where the protrusions seemed to grow on the ground. Then it suddenly disappeared.
"All of you, quickly take a look!" Liu Ying pointed to a small protrusion on the left.
Everyone turned their heads to witness the process of the bulge suddenly disappearing.
"This place is too strange. Senior Brother Ye, we should go back and tell Fairy Gu Lee about the situation here as soon as possible." Our task is to find the way, and just tell her the situation. As for what exactly to do, we don't need to worry about that. " Someone immediately suggested to Ye Lang.
Although Ye Lang wanted to gain merits, the situation before his eyes was beyond his control, and he did not know what the disappearance of these bulges meant. So this time, he didn't insist and led the group in the direction they came from.
Fortunately, they did not lose any numbers on their return trip. Surprised but not in danger.
Gu Lee obviously did not expect such a result. She originally thought that there would be injuries and no death for Xuanhua Sect. However, the group of people returned unharmed.
Especially after he saw the unharmed Gu Qing, Gu Lee's entire face immediately darkened.
"Fairy Gu Lee, we found the situation."
Ye Lang's voice had just woken Gu Lee's mind, she had great difficulty restraining her expression, and nodded: "What's the situation, tell me about it."
Gu Qing clearly knew in her heart what plan Gu Lee had to have Xuanhua Sect explore the way. A flash of killing intent appeared in her eyes as she stared at Gu Lee who was talking to her.
"These bulges will disappear," Ye Lang said as he pointed to the surrounding hills and continued, "But on the way back and forth, we did not encounter any other dangers."
Gu Lee's expression changed slightly, she turned and stared at the bulges Ye Lang was pointing at, "You said these will disappear?"
Ye Lang nodded, "That's right! We saw two of them disappear. If nothing unexpected happens, these bulges will move! "
With every sentence Ye Lang spoke, Gu Lee's expression grew uglier by the moment.
"Fairy Gu Lee, what do we do now?" The people who had no ideas all looked towards Gu Lee, hoping that she would think of a way to bring everyone out of this place safely.
Gu Lee stared at the protrusion in front of him, squinted her eyes, and waved her hand, "Everyone, don't be anxious, let me take a look at what these things are!"
With that said, Gu Lee summoned her Fire-cloud Sparrow.
A bird the size of a phoenix flew out from behind Gu Lee, flapped its enormous wings, and flew quickly towards the protrusions while carrying strands of flames.
Phew... Phew...
The Fire-cloud Sparrow flapped its wings, and a large gust of fire shot down like a meteor.
Everyone stared with widened eyes, holding their breath as they waited. After the flame was ignited, the protrusion suddenly cracked and a huge body was revealed.
"Iron Rhinoceros!" Gu Lee exclaimed in surprise.
The Iron Rhinoceros was a level five Demonic Beast, which was comparable to the cultivation of Later Period of Golden Core Stage. When the remaining cultivators saw this, they were shocked. However, when they looked carefully, they realized that the Iron Rhinoceros was dead. It was just a dead animal.
Gu Lee frowned, as though she had thought of something, and immediately looked at the protrusion on the right side of the array. The Fire-cloud Sparrow and she understood each other's intentions, and immediately understood what their master meant.
The Fire-cloud Sparrow flapped its huge wings, and quickly arrived above another protrusion.
With a flap of its wings, the flame once again shot down to the protrusion below with a "hu hu" sound. In the blink of an eye, another "bo" sound rang out and the protrusion below disappeared, revealing the corpse of another Demonic Beast.
"Steel Arms Ape!" Someone shouted.
Whether it was the Iron Rhinoceros Rhinoceros or the gibbon, both were level four or five Demonic Beast. Let alone them, even the Golden Core Stage Cultivator leading the group outside would not dare to lightly confront these Demonic Beast.
But such a powerful Demonic Beast was lying here silently at this moment.
What made them sleep here?
Gu Qing was also thinking about the same thing, and thinking about how the two bulges had disappeared. Now that she saw the truth underneath the protrusion, she understood that they were two equally strong Demonic Beast corpses.
Since it was such a powerful Demonic Beast, why would it die here?
"What is going on?"
As Gu Lee directed the Fire-cloud Sparrow to break through the protrusions one after another, some people began to cry out with their scalps numb.
After all, even if only one of these Demonic Beast was alive, none of them would be able to leave this place alive.
"Fairy Gu Lee, quickly think of a way. How are we to leave this place?" someone shouted.
After Gu Lee heard this voice, she was extremely annoyed in her heart. These idiots, they only knew to place their hopes on others!
Gu Lee had already faintly guessed something, but she still did not dare make her decision immediately.
"Fairy Gu Lee, our lives are in your hands. You must think of a way to leave this strange place."
No one could blame them for panicking. After all, they were just small cultivators in Foundation Period, and seeing so many Demonic Beast s that were comparable to peak Golden Core Stage that they normally looked up to die here, they all guessed that there was a huge danger lurking in this place.
"Don't worry!" Gu Lee was annoyed, her voice unconsciously grew louder.
"Fairy Gu Lee, how can we not be anxious? If we were a moment later, we might have become like that too! " This was what everyone was thinking.
Gu Lee endured the rising flames in her heart, and then said to everyone: "Everyone, don't be anxious.
"What?" It was good that he did not say it, but when Gu Lee said this, someone immediately started clamoring, "What do we do then? Are we going to die, aren't we? "
