The Love Sect and Demon Palm Sect group spread out all around this area.
They completely surrounded the spirit beasts that were still fighting each other.
The spirit beasts were so occupied with each other that they didn’t notice the people from the Love Sect and Demon Palm Sect at all, which was a good thing for them.
This allowed them to all get into position around the spirit beasts. Stay updated with m-v le-mpyr
Once everyone was in position, Xiao Ming gave the signal.
As soon as this signal came, there was no hesitation at all as they jumped out from their hiding spots and attacked the different spirit beasts at the same time. They were split up into groups that covered all of the spirit beasts, so there wasn’t a spirit beast that wasn’t attacked by the Love Sect and Demon Palm Sect group.
Some of the spirit beasts were able to dodge these attacks and some of them weren’t. However, even if they weren’t able to dodge these attacks, it wasn’t as if they were hurt by them.
In the first place, these attacks were nothing more than weak attacks that were supposed to be used to attract the attention of the spirit beasts.
They weren’t meant to hurt the spirit beasts at all.
After they were suddenly attacked, the spirit beasts stopped fighting with each other and focused on the ones that had suddenly attacked them.
As they did, there were more attacks that rained down on them.
It seemed like whoever had attacked them wasn’t planning on stopping, so they had no choice but to deal with them.
The spirit beast stopped attacking each other to defend against the attacks that were falling on them. After they dealt with these attacks, they tried to find the ones that had attacked them so they could take care of them.
All they saw were a bunch of humans that were running away.
While running away, they kept throwing attacks behind them at the spirit beasts that were still standing there in a daze.
The spirit beasts were able to easily dodge out of the way of these feeble attacks, but they had confused looks on their faces when they saw the way that these humans were acting.
They just couldn’t understand what these humans were doing.
That was until they saw the humans suddenly stop and throw out even more attacks.
With the way that they were standing there and throwing attacks at them, it was almost as if they were provoking them.
These spirit beasts were beasts after all and they had fragile egos, so they couldn’t accept humans provoking them like this. Seeing the humans just standing there and throwing attacks, they knew for sure that they were being provoked.
There were even a few humans that were gesturing as if they were saying…
“Bring it on.”
The spirit beasts eventually lost to their rage and started chasing after the humans that had attacked them.
They didn’t even care about the reason why they had been fighting each other in the first place as their only thought now was to take care of the humans who had offended them.
Just like this, the patch of herbs was abandoned by these spirit beasts.
Not long after these spirit beasts left, there were a few figures that jumped down from the trees to land where the patch of herbs was.
After landing, they couldn’t help looking around themselves at where the spirit beasts had been standing previously before one of them said, “I never thought that it would really work.”
The others didn’t say anything, but the way that they nodded along made it clear that they were thinking the same thing as this person.
It was clear that they never thought that this plan would actually work, but…
Since it did, that meant that they didn’t really have that much time to spare questioning this plan. It would be a matter of time before the spirit beasts would lose interest and come back, so they needed to finish their task as soon as possible.
The one leading them was the one with all the knowledge from the Demon Palm Sect.
He was the one that would know how to gather all of these herbs, so he would be the one that would do most of the work.
Rolling up his sleeves, he went to his knees and said, “Let’s do this.”
…
Xiao Ming ran into the forest while staring back at the spirit beast that chased her from time to time.
This thing was a large pangolin that had rolled its body up and was chasing after her.
If it wasn’t for the fact that she was faster than most people, then she might have already been caught by this thing.
This large pangolin that had rolled itself up actually moved quite quickly for its size.
It was most likely because of its weight that it was able to move so quickly.
It was using the force of gravity to make itself go even faster than it should have been able to go.
But at the same time, it was because Xiao Ming had someone else with her that it was able to catch up from time to time. This second person wasn’t as strong as Xiao Ming and nowhere near as fast, so they had to be dragged along by Xiao Ming as they ran.
But this person was able to throw out attacks while being dragged by Xiao Ming which helped distract the pangolin.
This person was one of the members of the Love Sect group, so she was one of the other Love Sect disciples.
It was just that she was weaker than the main Love Sect disciples, so she didn’t stand out as much. That was also why she was paired with Xiao Ming since Xiao Ming would keep her safe.
After coming far enough, Xiao Ming felt that this would be long enough for the group that had stayed behind to gather all of the herbs.
So she was planning on escaping since there was nothing to gain from fighting this pangolin.
As for how she would escape…
Xiao Ming held up her hand which had what seemed to be a compass in it.
She was about to use this compass when the pangolin was suddenly hit with a fireball that caused it to swerve. From the force of this fireball, the pangolin was knocked to the side and slammed into a tree.
The force of the pangolin’s spin was enough to knock that tree down.
Xiao Ming was completely caught off guard by this sudden fireball, but that didn’t mean that she let her guard down. She knew that it wasn’t certain that whoever shot this fireball would be friendly, so she had to keep her guard up just in case.
There was a voice that suddenly said, “Come over here, quickly!”
Xiao Ming turned in the direction that this voice came from and couldn’t help revealing a surprised look.
That was because there was a person there that she didn’t expect to see at all.
After all, the last time that she had met this person, they didn’t part on the best of terms.
The last time that they had made contact, it seemed like they had been about to fight each other.
So Xiao Ming didn’t really believe that this person would save her.
But here this person was.
The pangolin quickly recovered from the shock that it received at being suddenly attacked.
Even though there were more humans that suddenly appeared, the pangolin didn’t show any fear at all as it rolled itself up and started rolling at them as if it was going to attack.
When they saw this, the group of people that helped Xiao Ming went forward to face the pangolin.
They moved right past Xiao Ming and charged at the pangolin, putting up a formation around the pangolin.
With the coordination that they had, they were able to easily take down the pangolin.
Though they weren’t as strong individually, Xiao Ming had to admit that they were definitely strong when it came to coordinated combat. They had completely led the pangolin around until that one person that Xiao Ming was familiar with took down the pangolin.
During all of this, they had actually left their back to Xiao Ming.
If she wanted, she could have attacked them and ended it all.
But she didn’t since she wanted to see just what they wanted.
After taking care of the pangolin, the leader of this group turned around to look at Xiao Ming to ask, “Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?”
Xiao Ming looked at this beautiful girl with a strange look.
This beautiful girl who led this group was Wu Yun, the fangirl of Senior Brother Tang.
The one that had clashed with Xiao Ming before because of Senior Brother Tang.
By all rights, she shouldn’t be friendly with Xiao Ming, but here she was helping Xiao Ming defeat the pangolin.
Xiao Ming didn’t answer this question, but it didn’t seem like Wu Yun cared.
She just looked at Xiao Ming for a bit before saying, “I know that you might not have expected me to help you, but there’s something that I do want to say to you.”
Xiao Ming narrowed her eyes upon hearing this, but she didn’t say anything in response as she waited to see what Wu Yun had to say.
“I just wanted to say that I’m sorry for what happened between us before.” Wu Yun bowed her head as she said this in a sincere voice.
