Chapter 212 Siege
Chapter 212 Siege
No one knows how big this relic is, but no matter how many people come in, not many of them will encounter each other. Of course, before the so-called treasure is born, there will not be too many conflicts even if everyone meets, and they are all waiting for the upcoming competition.
There was only one exception, Feng Huan. He didn't know the rumors outside and was still shuttling back and forth to search. Now, his eyes were slightly red, and besides his anxious face, he exuded a murderous aura. Anyone he encountered would be left with only a corpse.
Three more corpses fell beside him. Feng Huan sat aside, looking at the gurgling blood. When he was about to refine it, a flash of light appeared in the divine body in his ventricle, which delayed his refining action.
"What's wrong with me? Why can't I resist killing people to refine blood? I'm here to find Ziyun, not to kill people!" His mind was clear, and he looked at the corpse beside him, frowning, "Oh, this damn God-Eating Bug is really troublesome. How can I get rid of it completely? It's always a scourge when it remains in my blood."
"I'm sorry, everyone." Feng Huan stood up, sighed, and set off again. Although he felt a little sorry for the people he killed, he didn't feel too much burden. In the cultivation world, you don't know what will happen tomorrow, let alone in a place like this where you can't just kill or be killed! The people who were killed could only blame themselves for being too weak and having bad luck.
Shortly after Feng Huan left, several cultivators happened to pass by here. After seeing the corpse on the ground, they came forward to check.
"Although he was killed this time, his blood was not sucked out. Could the situation have changed? Isn't it said that the rumors are totally untrue?"
"Not necessarily. Another possibility is that the blood sacrifice has reached saturation, so the monster did not continue to suck blood after killing these people."
"If that's the case, shouldn't the treasure be revealed right away?"
"If the rumors are true, I think it should be out soon, but I don't know exactly where it is, so it's hard to find it if we look blindly like this."
"Maybe there will be some guidance. Usually, there will be strange signs when a treasure is born."
Several people felt that this made sense and nodded, unable to hide the excitement on their faces.
"boom!"
As if to confirm their conjecture, the entire ruins suddenly shook as if it was about to collapse. Everyone was shaking and their steps were unsteady. But after a brief period of chaos, everything was calm again. Just when everyone was confused, a colorful glow shot up into the sky and hung straight into the clouds.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry. There really is a treasure coming out. If you go too late, it will be gone."
After seeing this festive glow, people in every corner immediately rushed over at full speed, fearing that they would be late and be beaten to it by others.
Feng Huan naturally saw it as well, but he didn't care much about the treasures here. But after thinking about it, he also went in this direction. He felt that other people would definitely go there, and he could meet more people there to ask for information. And if Ziyun had nothing to do, he would definitely go to join in the fun.
Feng Huan's current position was not too close to the glow, but not too far either. As he got closer and closer to the glow, he had a feeling that he had seen the same glow somewhere before. However, the glow only shone for a short time before disappearing, so he could not remember whether he had really seen it before.
"Ziyun!"
When Feng Huan identified the direction and finally arrived at the place where the sunset glow was, he saw Ziyun in the crowd at a glance. His heart was finally at ease and he couldn't help but call out loudly.
"Big Ice Cube! You're here." Ziyun also called Feng Huan anxiously.
"Hmm, that's not right, why are all these people surrounding Ziyun!" When he got closer, he noticed that dozens of people surrounded Ziyun, and everyone had a greedy expression on their face. "Did Ziyun get that treasure?"
Feng Huan felt that this was the only possibility that would cause so many people to surround her at this time and place.
Feng Huan flashed into the encirclement without saying a word, stood beside Ziyun, and held her hand, only to find that her hand was a little cold and was still trembling slightly.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here, you can't be afraid of these chickens and dogs." Feng Huan gently held Ziyun's hand and comforted him softly. He thought Ziyun had obtained a treasure and was afraid that these people would not let them go.
"Yeah!" Ziyun nodded absentmindedly.
"You are in cahoots with her, right? As long as you persuade her to hand over the treasure, we can let you go and not harm your lives. The treasure belongs to those with virtue. If you don't have the ability, you'd better not get involved in this muddy water." At this time, the people outside seemed to have reached some agreement, so they asked Ziyun to hand over the treasure as soon as possible.
In fact, the first people who arrived here did not see the so-called treasure. No one was sure whether there was a treasure or what it was. It was just that the rumor had been around for a long time and everyone believed it. So they were sure that the treasure must have been obtained by Ziyun who was already here. Seeing that Ziyun's cultivation was low, they did not take her seriously, even with Feng Huan. They just decided on the plan to fight for the treasure in advance to avoid being taken advantage of by others in the melee.
Of course, the prerequisite is that Ziyun has to hand over the treasure first. On the one hand, putting it in a place where everyone can see it will prevent others from taking advantage of it. On the other hand, everyone can also figure out what the treasure is and how much it is worth paying to fight for it.
"Really? Treasures belong to those who are virtuous, isn't it referring to this fairy-like girl? Do you think that only ugly people like you are virtuous? How ridiculous!" Before Feng Huan could say anything, a joking voice came from outside the crowd. It was none other than Su Junliu who had not been seen for a few days.
As he spoke, he walked into the encirclement and stood shoulder to shoulder with Feng Huan and the other man.
"Brother Su, why do you have to get involved in this mess? Aren't you afraid of danger?" Feng Huan stared at Su Junliu, trying to tell from his expression whether he had any other intentions.
"Of course I am afraid, but I just can't stand seeing such a beautiful girl being bullied! Besides, she is my intended junior sister, how can she let others bully her like this." After saying that, he turned to Ziyun and said, "Don't worry, junior sister, I will protect you. Let's see what they can do to you. I have already notified my senior brothers and they are on their way. I believe they will be here soon."
"Su Bushuliu, I think you are really looking for death. Don't say I didn't warn you, in this kind of place and under this situation, even if you are killed, your old man will not be able to avenge you." Jin Jianhou of Yaojinmen was also among the crowd at this moment, and he was one of the protagonists.
"Come and kill me right now if you dare! Little monkey!"
"You..." Jin Jianhou was so angry that his face turned red, his eyes were blazing, and he stared at Su Junliu and the other two. However, despite his rage, he did not act rashly. He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, slowly turned his head, and asked the others beside him in a deep voice: "Everyone, what do you think of the current situation? If they are still determined not to hand over the treasure, should we first join forces to subdue them and then make a deal?"
Hearing this, someone in the crowd immediately responded loudly: "Of course! But in my opinion, it seems that we don't need to take action! After all, your Yaojin Sect is well-known and powerful, how could you be afraid of these few insignificant characters?" Before the voice fell, another person laughed and echoed: "Haha, you are right! You are all the chosen ones who came from the mysterious and powerful Longxing Continent. It is a piece of cake to deal with these guys."
Obviously, this group of people all had their own ulterior motives. Seeing that the atmosphere between Jin Jian Hou and Su Jian Liu was tense and on the verge of a fight, they took the opportunity to fan the flames, trying to anger Jin Jian Hou and make him take the first step. In this way, even if Jin Jian Hou could not defeat his opponent in one fell swoop, at least both sides would lose a lot of true energy in the fierce confrontation and expose their hidden strength and trump cards. In this way, they could reap the benefits and seek more benefits from it.
Facing the sarcasm and deliberate provocation of the crowd, Jin Jianhou secretly sneered in his heart. How could he not know the sinister intentions of these people? He looked gloomy, glanced coldly at those people with ill intentions, and then responded slowly: "Humph, it is indeed not difficult to take them down. But, if I really succeed in taking the treasure, aren't you afraid that I will swallow it all by myself? At that time, with your little ability, are you sure you can stop me by force?" After speaking, Jin Jianhou crossed his arms, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and showed a disdainful expression, as if he didn't take this mob in front of him seriously at all.
They thought the treasure was already on the chopping block, and they could be slaughtered and divided at will, so they were scheming against each other and no one was willing to take the first step. But even though they didn't take action, Feng Huan didn't want to sit and wait for death. The people at the scene might not be able to stop them, so the longer they delayed, the more likely it would be that something would change. And he also found that Ziyun seemed to be a little bit off, very different from usual, so he had to leave quickly and find a quiet place to ask her what happened after they separated.
