Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao had decided to avoid those areas of high spiritual energy concentration because they knew that it would be dangerous.
But now they had no choice but to go to them as they were led there by Bi Qing.
Of course, Lin Fan wouldn't let his guard down and immediately sent out Greeny's puppets to survey the area.
As he had expected, there were more spirit beasts that were gathered around the area. These spirit beasts wandered around seemingly at random, but he could tell with his sharp eyes that this wasn't the case…
From time to time, there would be different spirit beasts that were going on the same path.
It was as if there was a set path for the spirit beasts to take, it was just that they took it at different times…almost just like guards that were on shifts…
He didn't notice this before since he was still adjusting to this place after being teleported here, but now that he had calmed down, there were many things that he didn't notice before that he was noticing now.
But it wasn't a good thing that he was noticing them.
As he realized these things, he also realized just what kind of bad these implications were for them.
For these spirit beasts to walk these same paths and for them to only attack those that were tagged by the powder, it was clear that they had been trained.
Someone that could train all of these spirit beasts was not a simple person…
It seemed like they would be in danger even if they had Bi Qing's group with them.
As they got closer, Lin Fan also noticed something else.
There was another group that was also making their way over to the high concentration spiritual energy spot.
As soon as he saw this group, he immediately recognized them since there were many different faces that he was familiar with there.
But…he didn't want to expose himself to them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSo after thinking about it, he reported to Bi Qing about the presence of this group and said that he would use the illusion spell again.
While the cloaked figures around Bi Qing looked at Lin Fan with doubtful looks, Lin Fan ignored this and focused purely on Bi Qing.
Bi Qing just gave a simple nod and a wave of her hand, as if giving her permission for Lin Fan to do this.
Lin Fan didn't bother asking for anything else, he just took Mu Bao Bao's hand and cast the illusion spell around himself, disappearing from sight.
The cloaked figures tensed when they saw him disappear, but Bi Qing just had a calm look as she looked right at him. She could clearly still see him even though he was using this illusion spell.
Then she started heading off in a different direction from where she had been heading.
Lin Fan had told her where the groups were, so she was heading in their direction right now.
It didn't take them long to find them since they weren't moving.
Based on the aura that they sensed, it seemed like they were resting after some kind of fight.
Before they reached where these groups were resting, Bi Qing waved her hand and a few of the cloaked figures jumped into the woods. There was only one who stayed by her side in the end.
Only then did she start approaching them.
Lin Fan couldn't help looking at the cloaked figures that jumped out.
He was confused at first why they would leave since there was no need for them to do that. They were more than strong enough to defeat all of the people here, so there was no need for them to hide in the forest like this.
But as he thought about it, he realized why she had sent them off…
It was to prepare another special trump card.
As they came closer, the groups that were resting also noticed that something was approaching them, so they put up their guards. Lin Fan could see this through the puppets, but he didn't report it to Bi Qing since he knew that it would be too troublesome to explain how he knew this.
Not to mention, he didn't believe that Bi Qing wouldn't be able to handle this in the end.
So they slowly approached the safe zone that these groups had found.
It wasn't really a safe zone, but rather a blind spot in the patrol patterns of the spirit beasts. That was because this place was an abandoned cave that no one seemed to care about.
Sitting in the darkness were all of the groups who had survived.
There had been over forty different groups that had come into this place with Bi Qing, but now there were only just barely ten of them left that were sitting here.
There might be others who were still wandering around in the forest, but it was very unlikely that they would survive the patrolling spirit beasts.
So it was very likely that these people who were here were the only ones that had survived.
When the people inside saw that it was Bi Qing who came in, they all put up their guards for a second before letting it down again. While they were still worried about her, they were more glad to see her than to not.
With the power that Bi Qing had shown, they knew that she would be a great asset when fighting against those spirit beasts.
That is if they could get her to work with them.
The one who came forward to greet Bi Qing was the young master who used lightning.
This young master's name was Lei Feng and he was from the Heavenly Thunder Sect, one of the strongest righteous sects in the Mu Empire.
That was also why he was chosen to come and greet Bi Qing.
Lei Feng came forward with a friendly smile as he said, "Miss Bi, it is a relief to see you. I'm glad to know that you didn't fall victim to the spirit beasts outside."
Though he said it in a friendly tone, there was no hiding the doubtfulness in his voice.
These groups had only been able to escape by working together, so they didn't understand how Bi Qing had made it all the way here with just her small group.
But after he took a better look at who was with Bi Qing, there was a trace of understanding that appeared in his eyes.
When Bi Qing met up with the group, there were several of the cloaked figures that were there. Now, there was only one that was still with her…
The only explanation for this was that the others had sacrificed themselves to stall the spirit beasts while Bi Qing made her way here.
At the same time though, that wasn't a good sign for them…
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf even Bi Qing wasn't strong enough to take care of the spirit beasts…then there really wasn't anyone that could.
So after he realized this, Lei Feng said with a sigh, "Miss Bi, it must have been hard for you to make your way here. Come in and join the rest of us. We're currently trying to come up with a plan for our next move."
While he didn't have hopes that Bi Qing would be able to defeat the spirit beasts, at the very least, she could help them fight. Every person was a useful asset, whether they were fighting or they were used as…bait.
So Bi Qing joining them was good either way.
But Bi Qing didn't move after hearing what Lei Feng said to her.
In fact, she had completely ignored him when he came up to her.
Instead, she had been looking at the people sitting around in the cave, as if she was analyzing them.
While she had been doing this, Lin Fan had been doing the same.
It was clear by the ragged appearances that they had that they hadn't been able to defeat the spirit beasts. They must have either used sacrifices or have used some special running technique to lose the spirit beasts.
Lin Fan had also spread the puppets around, so he could hear the whispers of these people while they were watching Lei Feng talk to Bi Qing.
It wasn't hard for him to figure out that their plan was to head to one of the areas of high spiritual energy concentration.
Based on what he had heard while they were talking to each other, he was able to piece together what happened to most of them.
They had been scattered by the teleportation and had met each other by chance. Then working together, they were able to find this cave and they had hid here the entire time while gathering more allies.
The ones who had found this cave were Lei Feng and the young miss with the fan who used flower petals.
They had slowly gathered the rest by sending people out to search.
Right now, there were still people outside searching, so the ones that they saw here weren't all the people that had been gathered. There were still two other groups that were currently bringing more people in.
Since they knew that it was impossible to hide out here forever, they wanted to gather enough people to assault the area of high spiritual energy concentration.
Bi Qing had been about to say something, but before she could, she noticed something out of the corner of her eyes.
Lin Fan was shaking his head at her.
