After taking care of those two groups, Xiao Ming and Mo Sha just left them in the bush somewhere before heading back to grab the Water Jade Lotus.
With the little packets of the Sun Lion and Steel Tiger that they had made, they were able to lure the remaining spirit beasts away from that place.
This time, it was the Demon Palm Sect’s turn to take this Water Jade Lotus.
Mo Sha wasn’t polite with them and directly plucked it out of the water before putting it away.
It was only natural for him to take this after they had given up the Fire Lotus Flower last time.
Xiao Ming and the Love Sect group didn’t worry about this and instead looked forward to what would come ahead of them.
There was nothing else that was worth anything in this area, so they continued heading deeper into the forest.
Nothing really seemed to catch their eyes as they headed deeper.
When they looked closely, it almost seemed like the area had already been picked clean by someone. This was most likely the other contestants also passing by this area and cleaning up the surrounding herbs.
With how the surrounding area looked, it seemed like unless they headed deeper into the forest, they wouldn’t be able to find anything.
So they didn’t waste their time in heading deeper.
Though they did pick up a few herbs that they found along the way since it would be too risky to wait until the last day to pick herbs. It would be putting too much pressure on the final day to get something worth it.
After all, they didn’t have a single thing that was actually worth a lot of points since the one thing that they had collected had been used by Xiao Ming.
These herbs weren’t worth a lot, but every little bit helped.
When the sun started to set, their group suddenly stopped.
It was too dangerous to continue while it was dark, not to mention that this wasn’t a sprint, but rather a marathon. There were three days to collect herbs, so it wasn’t as if they had to keep going for three days straight.
Even if they were cultivators with stronger bodies than normal humans, that didn’t mean that they had unlimited energy. The main thing was that they would need their energy to fight the spirit beasts that were in this forest and it was impossible for them to keep fighting without rest.
Though the fights today weren’t as intense, that didn’t mean that they would be able to keep going without resting.
So it was better to rest now instead of waiting for later to rest.
It was better to have a proper meal and get a good night’s rest to be at full energy tomorrow instead of forcing themselves to continue fighting through the night.
Or at least that was what they had been planning to do.
But before they could find a place to set up camp, Xiao Ming suddenly turned to look in a certain direction. Before anyone could ask her what was happening, Xiao Ming suddenly took off in that direction.
There was a moment of hesitation that came with the surprise of Xiao Ming’s sudden movement, but then they quickly followed after Xiao Ming.
Huang Xie and Yu Huang were the ones that followed her the most closely, as if they would be ready to protect her if anything happened.
Xiao Ming ran forward for a while before suddenly stopping.
The others all stopped when they saw her stop and Huang Xie and Yu Huang wanted to take this chance to ask her what was happening.
But before they could ask her anything, they heard a soft cry in the distance.
This wasn’t the cry of a human, but the cry of a beast.
However, this wasn’t the cry of a powerful spirit beast, but the soft cry of something in danger.
Still, that didn’t mean that they should involve themselves in this matter if they didn’t need to involve themselves in this matter.
It was better to avoid anything that might seem dangerous.
Huang Xie and Yu Huang wanted to take Xiao Ming away from this place, but before they could even reach out to her…
Xiao Ming suddenly went forward in the direction that this soft cry was coming from.
The two of them had bitter looks on their faces, but they followed her without a word in the end.
Xiao Ming followed that cry for a bit until she found the scene of three spirit beasts surrounding a certain thing. These were three wolf spirit beasts that were surrounding a bundle of white that was on the ground.
This bundle of white was curled up, as if it was protecting itself.
The three wolf spirit beasts didn’t seem like they were planning on letting this white bundle go at all.
Xiao Ming narrowed her eyes when she saw this before jumping out to dash at the white bundle on the ground.
Huang Xie and Yu Huang once again missed the chance to stop her as they reached out right when she charged towards the white bundle of fur. So they had no choice but to follow after her.
Xiao Ming had a determined look on her face as she dashed out.
In Xiao Ming’s heart, the situation of the white bundle of fur resonated with her since she had faced something similar before.
If it wasn’t for her master taking her in and saving the rest of her friends, then it would be hard to say what would have happened to them.
So when she saw that there was something else that was in need of help with no one helping it, she couldn’t stop herself. She wanted to be the one that helped this little bundle of fur.
Xiao Ming’s appearance surprised the wolves, but they didn’t back down.
Instead of targeting the small bundle of fur, they were now targeting Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming wasn’t worried at all when she saw those wolves coming at her, she had a very calm look on her face as she raised her hand to deal with these wolves.
But she didn’t get a chance to make a move as two people suddenly ran in front of her.
She had been going slowly to lure the wolves away from the small bundle of fur on the ground, but it seemed that there was no need in the end as someone came to distract the wolves.
So instead of wasting more time with the wolves, she ran over to the small bundle of fur on the ground.
The two who saw that they were being ignored had bitter smiles on their faces, but that didn’t stop them from taking care of the wolves that were in front of them. The two of them actually worked very well together, with one blocking the wolves and the other cutting them down.
In just a few seconds, the wolves were all lying on the ground in pools of their own blood.
It was just that there was no one to admire their bravery.
Xiao Ming was completely focused on the small bundle of fur that was trembling on the ground.
This small bundle of fur seemed to sense someone coming closer, so it peeked its head out to reveal that it was a tiger. But the strange thing was that this tiger’s fur was completely white.
This was a rare white tiger.
When it saw Xiao Ming standing over it, this little white tiger immediately poked its head back into its arms as if it was afraid of her.
Xiao Ming couldn’t help revealing a smile when she saw this since she had to admit that this little thing was very cute. But she didn’t force it out as she patiently waited for the little white tiger to peek out at her again.
After a while, the little white tiger curiously poked its head out again.
Seeing Xiao Ming just standing there over it with a smile on her face, it slowly began to recognize that she wasn’t a threat. However, it quickly looked around itself as if it was afraid of something.
Even if this human wasn’t a threat to it, there were still those wolves that were around that could be considered a threat.
Experience the best from m|v|l|e|mp|y|r
So it was looking for those wolves.
When the little white tiger’s eyes fell onto the wolves that were on the ground, it suddenly revealed a shocked look.
It slowly looked at the two humans who were standing over the corpses while looking at them, as if they were thinking about how to take care of these corpses.
Huang Xie and Yu Huang felt a gaze looking at them, so they turned in the direction of that gaze. When they saw that it was the little white bundle of fur that turned out to be a little white tiger, they smiled at it just like Xiao Ming to show that they meant no harm.
But this scared the little white tiger into curling up into a ball once more.
It took another while before the little white tiger recognized that these humans meant no harm to it and peeked its head out once more.
During this, Xiao Ming had to stop the other girls of the Love Sect group from coming over since she was afraid that they would scare the little white tiger.
Once the little white tiger recognized that these humans meant it no harm, it suddenly stood up on its little legs before stumbling a bit. Xiao Ming quickly reached out to grab the little white tiger so it wouldn’t fall down.
When she did, the little white tiger trembled from the touch before slowly turning to look at Xiao Ming.
After looking at her for a bit, the little white tiger raised its paw to touch Xiao Ming’s hand.
