Chapter 283: I Want the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Fire Lotus (3)
“Are you sure?” Leng Ruoxue couldn’t help asking. The effects of pills concocted from medicinal herbs that were a thousand years and ten thousand years were different. If Freak consumed one, he might not be able to bear the power of the pill, causing his body to explode in a violent death! This wasn’t the result she wanted!
“Yes, I’m sure!” The little silver mink nodded vigorously. A thousand-year-old fire lotus was the lowest requirement, and of course, a ten-thousand-year-old one was better. But a ten-thousand-year-old fire lotus was not easy to find, so a thousand-year-old one was acceptable.
“Alright. Then I must obtain the ten-thousand-year-old fire lotus,” Leng Ruoxue said with determination.
“Lass! If the ten-thousand-year-old fire lotus is the reward for third place, wouldn’t we be getting third place?” Old Zao said helplessly. With their strength, they could get first place without a problem. But this girl just had to get third place. Wasn’t this too much? However, the rewards for first and second place were indeed useless to them. Only alchemists could use the reward for third place, and others obtaining it would just be for decoration.
“Third place is of course the best,” Leng Ruoxue said lightly. She didn’t want to start a killing spree unless necessary, so these people had better be sensible and not compete for it with her. Otherwise, she would make them regret coming to this world. Hmph! So what if our hands are covered in blood In order to save Freak!
“Miss Leng, shall we join forces?” Ming Huan suddenly sent a voice transmission to Leng Ruoxue.
Although Leng Ruoxue’s team had the least number of people, Ming Huan absolutely didn’t dare to underestimate them. The strength and ruthlessness they had just displayed in the fourth level had deeply shocked him!
Of the five teams present, the first two to arrive had obviously reached some sort of agreement, and the Zhu family also had the idea of monopolizing all the rewards. So they had to find an ally for themselves. Only in this way would the chance of survival be higher. Among the few teams here, only Leng Ruoxue’s team was the most suitable for them. Therefore, he took the initiative to request to join forces.
“Yes, but I want the ten-thousand-year-old fire lotus.” Leng Ruoxue directly stated her request.
“No problem,” Ming Huan answered readily. Although a ten-thousand-year-old fire lotus was precious, it wasn’t useful at all to them. Instead, he was more interested in the sacred artifacts or divine beasts.
After a moment of silence, the mechanical voice said, “Haha, you can start fighting now,”
None of the five teams attacked first but instead observed each other.
“Miss Leng, which team should we fight first?” Ming Huan asked via voice transmission.
“The Zhu family, of course,” Leng Ruoxue said lightly. The Zhu family elder’s question just now had probably angered the other two teams. It might be what they were all thinking, but at such a sensitive time, whoever raised it first would become everyone’s eyesore.
“Okay,” Ming Huan agreed. The Zhu family was the Ming family’s biggest rival. They would benefit the most by getting rid of the Zhu family.
“Let’s wait and see first,” Leng Ruoxue reminded.
“Okay.” Ming Huan led his team back a few steps and stayed in a corner.
In the middle of the secret room, only the two teams that arrived first and the Zhu family were left.
The leaders of the two teams looked at Leng Ruoxue, Ming Huan, and the others in the corner, exchanged glances, and then launched an attack against the Zhu family together…
The reason they attacked the Zhu family first was not only for the question just now but also because the Zhu family was the largest and most powerful among the five teams. So they unanimously believed that the Zhu family was their greatest enemy. As for Leng Ruoxue, Ming Huan, and the others, they didn’t take them seriously at all.
“Damn it! How dare you attack our Zhu family!” the Zhu family elder roared furiously. He originally wanted to let them kill each other first, but he never expected that his team would become the first target.
The three teams quickly got into a brawl, while Leng Ruoxue, Ming Huan, and the others simply sat on the ground and watched the tigers fight on the mountain.
“Miss Leng, those two teams are very strong!” Ming Huan transmitted his voice while watching the battle.
“Yes, the Zhu family isn’t weak either!” Leng Ruoxue replied. There were more than 30 people in the two teams, with nearly 20 Spiritual Supremacies. On the surface, they seemed to have the upper hand. But no one could guarantee that the Zhu family didn’t have any trump cards. After all, the fact that so many people from the Zhu family could enter was enough to illustrate the problem.
“Xue’er, after they deal with the Zhu family, they should turn to deal with us, right?” Leng Qingtian said while looking at the situation on the battlefield.
“Okay, let’s prepare!” Leng Ruoxue reminded and turned her gaze to the three teams.
In the battle, the three teams had already suffered casualties, with the Zhu family suffering the greatest. There were originally twenty-five people, but only five remained. Four of them were seriously injured, and only the Zhu family elder was still hanging on.
“You pieces of trash, I will make you regret it!” The Zhu family elder looked at his opponents with hatred in his eyes and then chose to self-explode.
Leng Ruoxue was quick-witted. When she felt that something was amiss, she swiftly set up a barrier to protect herself and her group.
When Ming Huan realized what was happening, he hurriedly took out a defensive sacred artifact to isolate the blast of the Zhu family elder’s self-explosion.
They were unscathed, but the two teams in the middle of the self-explosion were not so lucky. Although the Spiritual Supremacies in the two teams were still alive, they were all seriously injured. Those below Spiritual Supremacy, including the four remaining people from the Zhu family, were all brought away by the Zhu family elder to meet their maker.
Leng Ruoxue, Ming Huan, and the others stood up and walked to the center of the secret room.
“Ming Huan, don’t you think we should thank Elder Zhe?” Leng Ruoxue said regretfully as she looked at the nearly twenty Spiritual Supremacies who were still alive but covered in wounds.
“Yes, we should thank him. But we should thank Zhu Feng even more. If he didn’t die early, the Zhu family wouldn’t have disappeared so quickly,” Ming Huan said happily. Zhu Feng carried the Zhu family’s secret weapon. If he hadn’t died first, the Zhu family wouldn’t have been destroyed so quickly.
