These two days, Xiao Jiu did not stay idle either. The number of silver coins in his possession had already soared from ten thousand to forty thousand. However, there was still a large distance between him and three hundred thousand.

Actually, he could not be blamed for not being diligent. If he had to blame the people from the Shi family for being too poor, then the amount of money he could get from one of the descendants would not exceed a few thousand silver coins.

In these two days, there were probably dozens of Xiao Clan disciples who had died at his hands. In addition to the fact that they had been killed, he estimated that more than a hundred of the Shi family disciples should have died in his hands.

Xiao Jiu was quite satisfied with the result of this battle.

There was only one more day to the Flame Valley, and Xiao Jiu did not intend to make any more moves against the Shi family. He wanted to reach the Flame Valley tomorrow.

"Roar …"

At this moment, a loud voice was heard. A tiger-like behemoth came out from the woods and landed right in front of Xiao Jiu.

"It's a fire spirit beast, a fourth grade fire spirit beast! Not only that, it's an injured fourth grade fire spirit beast!"

Seeing this, a trace of an indescribable feeling appeared at the corner of Xiao Jiu's mouth. He leapt up and charged forward. One of his goals in coming to the Blazing Mountain was to obtain a Fire Spirit Beast. Wu Qingcheng was suppressing the cold poison within her body, and that was to obtain the beast cores of the Fire Spirit Beast.

Furthermore, the higher the grade of the beast core, the more beneficial it was.

He had always hunted and killed second grade fire spirit beasts. Due to the limitations of his cultivation, he had been unable to capture an even stronger fire spirit beast. Now, he had a cultivation at the first level of the Qi Refining stage.

Xiao Chen had been considering whether he should try to capture a Rank 3 fire spirit beast. However, for some reason, he hadn't encountered a single fire spirit beast these days. Even a Rank 2 fire spirit beast hadn't been encountered.

At this moment, a Rank 4 one appeared, and it was an injured one at that. Xiao Chen was overjoyed.

The dagger in his hand appeared and stabbed towards the injured Fire Spirit Beast. Although the Fire Spirit Beast was injured, it still had a basic level of perception. When it realized that Xiao Chen was about to attack, it also dived towards him. It clearly didn't want to surrender.

In reality, the fire spirit was already extremely injured. Even if they let it go, it was likely that it would not be able to survive. However, Xiao Jiu did not allow any other accidents to happen. He was determined to obtain this fire spirit beast.

Xiao Chen leaned forward and his figure flashed strangely. The Fire Spirit Beast was still struggling in its death throes. It wanted to attack Xiao Jiu, but Xiao Jiu cleverly dodged it.

"Puff …"

Xiao Jiu's dagger fiercely pierced through the throat of the huge beast, causing the blood of the fire spirit to gush out. Xiao Jiu's attack could be said to be fatal.

The Fire Spirit Beast had already been wounded in many areas throughout its body, but none of its vital points had been injured. Xiao Jiu's attack had directly taken its life.

"Bang …"

The moment Xiao Jiu's body landed on the ground, the Fire Spirit Beast's body collapsed as well. Xiao Chen felt that it was a bit unexpected that he would be able to receive the Fire Spirit Beast so easily.

This was too lucky! Xiao Jiu felt lucky as he walked up with the dagger in his hand. He opened fire on the spirit beast's head, and a bright red beast core appeared in his hand. He then put it away.

After walking for so long, this important matter had finally been settled.

He'd originally thought that it would take quite a bit of effort to obtain the spirit beast cores. He hadn't thought that it would be so simple. He'd actually run into an injured fire spirit beast, a fourth grade fire spirit beast. That was an extremely rare existence.

Just by looking at how injured the fire spirit was, it seemed as if it had been besieged.

Seeing this, Xiao Jiu suddenly thought of something. He stood up and headed in another direction.

He shouldn't stay here for too long. This demonic beast was probably being chased for some reason. It panicked and ran into him, which coincidentally gave him a huge advantage.

Xiao Chen already had a premonition that the people chasing the fire spirit beast would catch up very soon.

It was better to leave first. It wasn't that he was afraid, it was just that he didn't want to cause any trouble. Besides, he couldn't let go of this fire spirit beast's core no matter what.

Very quickly, Xiao Chen arrived by the lake and washed off the blood on his body. This was because there was quite a bit of blood stains on the Fire Spirit Beast when it was massacring it; if he did not wash it off, it would be too eye-catching.

If those people chasing after the demon beasts rushed over, he would not be able to explain himself.

Even if he ate secretly, he still had to know how to wipe his mouth.

Squatting by the lake, Xiao Jiu grabbed a handful of water to wash his face.

"Big Brother, have you seen an injured Rank 4 Fire Spirit Beast pass by?"

When Xiao Chen turned around, he saw a little loli standing there. The little girl was about thirteen or fourteen years old, and had two braids on her head, making her seem very cute. When she saw Xiao Chen washing his face, she asked very politely.

"En..." I think so! "

Xiao Jiu was stunned for a moment. He had not expected that the one chasing the fire spirit beast was actually such a little girl. Surprised, his gaze landed on the little girl.

The little girl was only 13 or 14 years old, but her cultivation had reached the second level of the Core Formation Stage. Such natural talent was one of the top in the 18 cities of the Nine Prefectures.

"What does it mean, yes or no?"

At this time, a cold voice sounded out. A woman wearing tight clothes came out of the forest. Behind her was a group of young men. They were all wearing the same uniform with the word "Lin" on their clothes.

Seeing the word 'forest', Xiao Jiu's eyes narrowed, as if he had thought of something.

The Lin Clan of Full Moon City, the number one clan of Full Moon City, Xiao Jiu had heard of it before. It seemed that the Lin Clan had also received the news and had come.

"Of course, we went from there!"

Hearing this, Xiao Jiu pointed in a direction. That direction was where he had slaughtered the fire spirit beasts.

"Miss, I think this person is very suspicious. I think that he might have killed our fire spirit beast and then went to the beast core himself!"

At this moment, a young man standing next to Lin Jing took a step forward and looked at Xiao Jiu with an unfriendly expression.

Hearing this, Xiao Jiu silently cursed in his heart. To be honest, if this birdman was right, he really did kill the demon beast himself.

"Brother Lin Cheng, don't wrongly accuse others. This big brother's cultivation is only at the first level of Qi Refining, how could he possibly kill that big fellow!"

Hearing this, the little girl's pure and clean face revealed a serious expression. She shook her head and said.

When Xiao Jiu heard the little girl's words, he also felt somewhat astonished in his heart. This was because this little girl was actually able to see through his cultivation.

Xiao Jiu could not help but feel a little curious about this little girl in front of him.

"Hehe …" "So it's just a piece of trash!"

Lin City glanced at Xiao Jiu, his eyes filled with disdain.

"How can Brother Lin Cheng say that!"

The little loli was clearly dissatisfied with Lin City's words. From her tone, it could be seen that this little loli did not have a good impression of Lin City.

"Let's go take a look!"

Lin Jing looked deeply at Xiao Jiu, then said. The Xiao Jiu she saw was the untrained Xiao Jiu, but she believed what her younger sister said. Xiao Jiu had a cultivation of the first level of Qi Refining because her younger sister had a special ability.

However, in this Blazing Mountain, what difference was there between a 1st level Qi Refining and a lack of cultivation? In the end, only death awaited him.

However, Lin Jing couldn't understand why a level 1 Qi Refining martial artist would appear in this place, and he seemed to be alone.

However, at this moment, Lin Jing's heart was no longer in this place, and she did not consider this issue. What she wanted was that Fire Spirit Beast.

"Sister, wait a moment, can you bring this big brother along?"

The little girl looked at Xiao Jiu with a strange expression. Suddenly, she spoke. Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen was also somewhat surprised.

"Miss Wan-Er, this man has no cultivation. He is just a burden to us. We are not related at all. Why did you bring him along?"

The corner of Lin Cheng's mouth twitched, and he glared at Xiao Jiu with a hint of hatred in his eyes. From the very beginning, he had never had a good impression of this person without any cultivation.

His gaze just so happened to meet Xiao Jiu's. When Xiao Jiu saw this gaze, he also understood Lin City's intentions. It was nothing more than threatening him to reject the little girl's invitation.

"Wan-Er, why?"

Lin Cheng was right. Bringing him would be bringing an extra burden, although as long as he didn't run into any big trouble, it wouldn't be a big deal if he brought an extra burden along with him.

"Big brother is so pitiful, so sad!"

Lin Wan'er looked at Xiao Jiu. For a moment, her eyes seemed to have turned the color of the ocean.

Naturally, Xiao Jiu was able to see this tiny detail. Even though he had lived for thousands of years, this sight still caused her heart to tremble.

This little girl was extraordinary!

"Big brother, can you come with us? I will protect you!"

Lin Wan'er looked at Xiao Jiu and spoke gently. Her eyes were filled with warmth.

"Let me think about it!"

Xiao Jiu smiled. She clearly had a very good impression of this little girl. She appeared to be thirteen or fourteen years old, but her mind was extremely simple. Xiao Jiu could also tell that this little girl was different from other people.

Just like this little girl, she could also tell that he was different from other people.

"You can follow us. Under normal circumstances, we can protect you. But if a big battle happens, you can just hide by yourself!"

Lin Jing looked at Xiao Jiu with a cold gaze. She had only made that decision because her own sister could see things that others couldn't. Perhaps this person was different from other people.

"Big brother, come with us. This Intense Flaming Mountain is too dangerous. If you go alone and you don't have a high cultivation, then you'll be in trouble if you encounter a demon beast!"

Hearing Lin Jing agree, Lin Wan'er walked enthusiastically towards Xiao Jiu and helped him up from the lake. Xiao Jiu was somewhat stupefied, and felt that his brain was somewhat unable to process what he had just heard.

He didn't want to intercept the people from the Shi family in the next two days. It seemed that finding a team was a good idea as it could save him a lot of trouble. Thinking of this, Xiao Jiu let it go.
