As the blood aura spread, the spirit beasts that were originally at the outermost layer immediately swarmed over, forcing the spirit beasts in the innermost layer to move forward.

Li Shu Ran, who was standing behind Jun Qianyan, had never encountered such a large number of spirit beasts. He was already quite frightened, and now his eyes rolled up as he fainted.

Jun Qiyan wanted to wake Li Shu Ran up and help him deal with the spirit beasts, but when he looked back, Li Shu Ran simply fainted. He saw a large number of spirit beasts rushing towards him.

"They really aren't afraid of god-like opponents, but pig-like teammates!"

Jun Qiyan wanted to cry, but no tears came out. He could not help but let out a long sigh.

She could easily deal with one or two spirit beasts, but there were twenty of them. Even if she had three heads and six arms, she wouldn't be able to escape safely.

The most important thing was that Li Shu Ran wasn't Di Mo Jiu's teammate. Li Shu Ran actually passed out at such a crucial moment. Even if Jun Qianyan had managed to escape by a fluke, he still had to carry this young miss on his back …

What a failure!

Jun Qiyan silently closed her eyes, despairingly looked at the spirit beasts around her that were about to take her life, and let out a long sigh.

In the blink of an eye, the spirit beasts had already charged in front of them. Jun Qiyan hurriedly used a shield to protect her and Li Shu Ran while simultaneously defending against the attacks of the spirit beasts.

However, it was not a long term plan. The shield was quickly broken by the spirit beasts. In order to protect Li Shu Ran, Jun Qianyan hurriedly and forcefully pushed Li Shu Ran away. She took a heavy hit from one of the spirit beasts.

When that claw struck Jun Qianyan's back, she felt as if her internal organs and lungs were about to shatter. Her entire body flew a few meters away before crashing heavily onto the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

With both hands on the ground, Jun Qiyan struggled to raise her upper body. Trembling, she turned her head to see several spirit beasts baring their fangs and brandishing their claws at her.

Jun Qianyan closed her eyes in despair. In this critical moment, a blinding red light suddenly appeared, dispersing the miasma in the surroundings and devouring all the spirit beasts.

The intense light forced Jun Qiyan to close her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, all she could see was the spirit beast corpses. There was a large splash of blood, almost staining the entire forest red.

"This is …" "What's going on?"

Jun Qiyan was shocked. He blinked his eyes a few times to confirm that he was not hallucinating, but he still could not believe what he was seeing.

However, it was certain that he had survived a disaster.

Even though she was surprised, for the sake of safety, Jun Qiyan endured the pain in her body and hurriedly stood up to confirm that the spirit beasts had truly died.

As expected … None survived...

Jun Qianyan could not believe what she had seen, but after confirming that the spirit beast had died, she decided to take the crystal core. She spread open her hands and drew a seal, causing the golden light to scatter in all directions, and then it faded away, and the spirit beast's corpse gradually gathered, condensing into a purplish-blue crystal core that emitted specks of light as it slowly approached her hand.

Just as the crystal was about to be gripped tightly in his hand, a shadow suddenly flashed past Jun Qiyan's eyes. She then saw the crystal that she had almost used her own life to exchange for was tightly grasped in Li Shu Ran's hand!

"You …"

The moment she saw the crystal drop in Li Shu Ran's hand, Jun Qi was stunned.

This Li Shu Ran … Can you be more wicked?

"What, with my talent, do you think I won't be able to get this crystal core?"

Li Shu Ran didn't know when he had woken up, but the moment she opened her eyes, she saw Jun Qiyan checking on the spirit beasts one by one to see if they were dead. Although she was extremely surprised that this beggar could actually kill so many spirit beasts, it was more important than that.

It didn't matter who had killed the spirit beasts. What mattered was who had obtained the crystal core!

Therefore, when Li Shu Ran saw that the crystal core had already taken shape and was about to fall into the hands of Jun Qianyan, he didn't even think twice before snatching the crystal core away.

"Li Shu Ran, can you at least show some face?"

Jun Qiyan's internal organs were still in a mess from the excruciating pain. When he heard Li Shu Ran's words, his face turned even paler. He couldn't help but clench his teeth and curse angrily, "I really regret saving you!"

"Oh? Is that so? "

Li Shu Ran looked at the pained expression on Jun Qianyan's face, but didn't seem to care in the slightest. He proudly held the crystal core that he had just obtained, and arrogantly smiled: "Alright then, since you've helped me get the crystal core so hard, then I won't bother with you anymore, and will barely treat you as a friend! Wrong... Since you are under the same teacher as me, I will treat you as my junior! "

What did he mean by putting in so much effort to please her?

And he still managed to put the past behind him?

Jun Qiyan almost spat out a mouthful of blood in anger!

Who did she really think she was?

Why did he have to use such a dirty method to steal the fruits of others using their lives!

She really wanted to beat Li Shu Ran up and snatch the crystal core back. However, the burning sensation on her neck was getting more and more intense, making her feel uncomfortable.

Jun Qiyan subconsciously touched the jade pendant he had always been wearing, as a strange face formed in his mind.

Not giving her time to think any further, she quickly took advantage of the miasma to disperse and kill the spirit beasts. Jun Qiyan clutched her jade pendant as she rushed towards the river's edge.

The clear river water was very cold, but Jun Qiyan had already picked up several handfuls of water to beat at the hot place, but to no avail.

Helpless, she could only remove the jade pendant and carefully examine it in her palm.

He saw a drop of bright red water suspended in the center of the jade pendant. It looked extremely similar to her own drop of blood; it seemed to be from the mouthful of blood that she had vomited when she was struck by the spirit beast.

The bead of blood seemed to know that Jun Qiyan was looking at him again, and actually began to enter into the jade. It once again emitted a dazzling red light, and although it wasn't as dazzling as the last time, it was enough to close Jun Qianyan's eyes. When she opened them again, all she saw was a streak of bright red blood on the jade pendant.

The red light hadn't completely dispersed. The jade pendant floated on the palm of Jun Qianyan's hand, suspended in midair.

The faint red light from the jade pendant seemed to guide them forward, gradually turning towards the depths of the forest.
