Qin Ming had a trace of a smile on his face. The reason why he followed Liu Shou all the way was just to see where Liu Shou wanted to go, and to also "trade" a map for it.
Now that he had succeeded in obtaining the map, he had only killed a few demon beasts. The result was pretty good.
In the distance, Fang Mu's chest had collapsed from the last strike he received from the Multicolored Tiger, and blood was flowing out of his mouth. If not for the Multicolored Tiger charging towards Qin Ming at the last moment, Fang Mu might have already become a corpse.
Now that the Multicolored Tiger had been taken care of, Fang Qin who was hiding far away also rushed out. She retrieved a few ordinary pills from her Qiankun bag and let Fang Mu swallow them to alleviate her injuries.
Even though it was only an ordinary pill, it was still possible to temporarily heal his injuries.
"Thank you, Young Master Qin Ming." Fang Mu, who had swallowed a pellet, walked to Qin Ming's side and cupped his fist with the support of Fang Qin. His face was abnormally pale.
"It was nothing." Qin Ming did not feel anything, even though he saved Fang Mu's life, and could be considered to return the favor Fang Qin gave him.
Moreover, there were only a few Rank Two Demonic Beasts. If they really attacked, it would only take a blink of an eye.
"Fang Mu will remember this favor of saving his life, if there is any place Young Master Qin Ming can use in the future, I will not allow it."
Fang Mu was serious. Only at the moment of crisis would he be able to see the good or bad of a person.
Although Liu Shou did not hurt him, the fact that they were hiding the Multicolored Tiger was purely out of bad intentions. If not for Qin Ming stopping the Multicolored Tiger at the last moment, the brother and sister pair might have already been separated by heaven.
"En, prepare to go back. The Demonic Beast Forest is not a place you should come to." Qin Ming just laughed it off, this kind of thing could not even be considered a good relationship, if the Multicolored Tiger did not come for him in the end, it could only mean that Fang Mu was in trouble.
Therefore, Qin Ming did not feel that he had done much, and he did not care about this favor.
As Dan Di in his past life, hadn't there been a few who had the kindness? How many people had poured their blood into asking for his help, and how many had he really helped?
Those fellows, at the very last moment, had turned against him, wishing that they could personally destroy him.
When a person was absolutely ruthless to the person he owed a favor to, it was absolutely more terrifying than a mortal enemy because they would use all sorts of methods to root out the enemy. They were a bit more active than anyone else.
In this new life, some people were already dead, while others were still alive.
Only he himself was the most reliable.
Fang Qin looked at Qin Ming with a strange glint in her eyes, as though she was extremely curious about him.
The true strength of this person who was called trash by the Celestial Sect and treated as a laughingstock by the outer sect seemed to have exceeded everyone's expectations.
Natural mortal root? Nothing? A Tier 1 apothecary who had always been inferior to them? Killed the Qin?
If it was really as the rumors said, how could Qin Ming be able to kill two Multicolored Tiger of the second rank with a wave of his hand?
However, Fang Qin did not say much. She originally did not speak much in front of outsiders, and only looked at Qin Ming with grateful eyes. In an instant, Qin Ming's figure seemed to have grown larger.
"Alright, it's a success. Let's go." Liu Shou looked at the three people waiting outside the valley, his expression gentler, and his mood much better.
No one asked what he had obtained, and he would not say.
Qin Ming did not care, it was just three Rank 2 Spirit Stones guarding the place. If it was a real treasure, how could it be something that three Rank 2 Spirit Beasts could get their hands on?
Fang Mu and Fang Qin, on the other hand, were just outer sect disciples because of their status. Even if they had treasures, they did not have a share, not to mention that Liu Shou had already paid half of the compensation in advance, so they did not know that it would actually be a good thing.
"Wait a moment." Looking at Liu Shou whose face was flushed red, who wanted to finish the task and leave, Qin Ming said blandly.
"Return the reward for the two of them. You brought them here, so take them away."
Qin Ming's voice was extremely light, as though he was speaking in a casual manner.
But no one dared to ignore Qin Ming's words, after all, Qin Ming's extremely terrifying Sword Qi that seemed to be able to be swung around casually was truly terrifying.
Liu Shou's expression immediately became gloomy. He had originally not thought of this matter, and even if he did, he could use all sorts of reasons to refute.
Moreover, with this reason, Fang Qin had no way to avoid him. Since she had already succeeded, it would be good if she could have some entertainment in the future. If Fang Qin was willing to make love with him, it wouldn't be impossible for him to give him more medicinal pellets.
Only, Qin Ming seemed to know what he was thinking, and with a single sentence, he forced him to go back to the other two.
If he was not willing to give and his sister compensation, would Qin Ming forcefully snatch away the things that they had agreed upon?
Since you can go back on your word, then why should I give you face?
The words on Liu Shou's back immediately turned a little cold, and after that, he forced out a smile: "Of course, I was just about to give some medicinal pellets to Brother Fang Mu. To be able to kill the Multi Colored Tiger, Brother Fang Mu had to pay for it with his own efforts."
As he casually took out a white jade bottle from his Qiankun bag, Liu Shou handed it over to Fang Mu without hesitation.
Although his heart was bleeding, he couldn't play any other tricks under the covetous gaze of Qin Ming.
Perhaps, he was even worried that Qin Ming would use his own excuse to do the same thing to him.
"Then, I'll have to thank Young Master Qin Ming and Big Brother Liu Shou." Fang Mu did not hold back. This was a Spirit Gathering Pill he used his life to exchange for, he naturally did not feel guilty about it.
Originally, he knew that even if he did not give Liu Shou the promised reward, he would not be able to do anything about it. After all, Liu Shou was an inner disciple and also of the Liu Clan.
Even if you complain, just a casual instruction can make your life worse.
Now that Qin Ming had spoken, Liu Shou had no choice but to return the original compensation. It could be said that this was the best situation.
Fang Mu looked at Qin Ming gratefully, but did not say a word.
For some things, it was fine for him to remember them all.
Perhaps the current him would not be able to repay Qin Ming in the slightest, but who knew what would happen in the future?
"We …"
"Awoo!"
Liu Shou was just about to say that we should leave now, when he was interrupted by the sound of wolves howling in the distance.
In the distance, in the originally tranquil forest, the ground suddenly began to shake. Rushing sounds could be heard incessantly as wolf howls came out one after another.
At the very front, a wolf the height of a man with three white and azure stripes on its head had already appeared outside of the valley. Its eyes were filled with craftiness and killing intent as it stared fixedly at the four.
Before anyone could react, dozens of huge wolves appeared behind them. They surrounded the huge wolf with three white and blue stripes on its head, eyeing the four of them like tigers stalking their prey.
"Damn it!" The wolf pack of demon beasts! " Liu Shou's expression instantly changed, his voice filled with fear.
If one were to talk about the dangers of the Demonic Beast Forest, most of the people who did not know their place would barge into the territory of the Demonic Beasts and try to seize the Spirit Medicines guarded by the Demonic Beasts.
Or maybe it was killing each other out of interest.
However, there were only two situations that could be considered his misfortune.
As for the second type, it was even more tragic. After the great battle, the smell or movement of the blood was a little too much and it was detected by the wolves in the Demon Beast Forest.
Even though most of the wolves were only Class 1 Demonic Beasts and Class 2 Demonic Beasts were quite rare, they were definitely a killing ground for the weaker cultivators.
If they provoked a demon wolf, they would definitely fight to the death. However, they were also very patient and would wait until the end of their tether to appear.
It was obvious that their movements had attracted the attention of the demon beast pack, and they were currently besieged within the valley.
Fang Mu was heavily injured, the spirit energy in his body had recovered just a little, but at the seventh level of Qi Condensation, she would be in danger if he faced a wolf of the first stage, when facing hundreds of wild wolves, he would not even be able to struggle.
As for Liu Shou, he had already used up all the talismans on his body, so even if they were attacked, he would only be able to protect himself.
Even if he could, a second delay when he was surrounded could be the difference between life and death. It was absolutely impossible for him to do that.
Perhaps, the only person who had any hope of resisting was the cunning Sword Qi Qin Ming that possessed unparalleled might.
However, in the eyes of Liu Shou and the other two, Qin Ming's strength was more than enough to deal with a Rank 2 Spirit Demon beast, and even if he was attacked, he would be unable to protect himself.
Fighting against an enemy and fighting against a group of enemies were two completely different concepts!
"Is it going to end soon?" Liu Shou muttered to himself as he looked at the pack of wolves eyeing the valley covetously.
He had just obtained a treasure, and now he was going to die in the Demonic Beast Forest?
"Big brother …" Fang Qin held Fang Mu's hand tightly, his face was pale white, as though it was made of paper.
Fang Mu didn't say a word. He firmly held onto Fang Qin's small hand, his face completely red.
Right now, he was heavily injured, and he might be in danger even against a demon wolf. How could he take care of his little sister?
Suddenly, they felt that this trip to the Demonic Beast Forest had been worthwhile and their harvest was quite bountiful. So, they started to despair.
Demonic beast packs … those were f * cking death talismans!
Only Qin Ming's gaze had not changed. Looking at the wolf pack leader who was at the very front with three white and cyan lines on his forehead, his eyes slightly narrowed.
"A Level 3 Whirlwind Wolf can concoct a Level 5 Whirlwind Pill." At this time, only he still had the mood to think of refining pills.
"Dammit, even if I die early or late, I'll still die. I can only give it my all!" Liu Shou's eyes were bloodshot as she thought about her gains from just now and how she would soar to success in the next two months as if she had gone insane.
Reaching out a hand, he pulled out a white jade bottle and threw it to Fang Mu, "Eat this medicine to heal your injuries, and hold on for as long as you can."
Fang Mu was startled, but he did not say anything after that, and without even looking at the pill, he swallowed it.
He knew that Liu Shou did not do this out of goodwill. If he really had good intentions, he would not have waited for the appearance of the wolf pack before giving the healing pellet.
However, because of the wolf pack, one more person could make the other one less dangerous. However, this was also what he wanted.
After all, deciding one's own fate was better than being devoured by a pack of demon beast wolves that had no way of resisting.
When Liu Shou saw Fang Mu swallow the pill without even blinking his eyes, blood started to drip from his heart.
That was a pretty good healing pellet that he had prepared for himself. It was to prevent himself from encountering danger after killing the Firecloud Fox.
However, his body was now filled with spiritual energy, and the real danger had appeared before him like a scythe that was about to take his life.
