After these people had eaten their fill, they all felt drowsy. In a short while, they fell into a deep sleep. In the distance, in the woods, a figure loomed.
He looked at Tang Youyou, who was also taking a nap. His eyes were full of doting.
"Master, the sect master has something to summon you. He asks you to go quickly," Ye Bai said seriously.
However, Rong Xun in front of him was only looking at Tang Youyou and didn't respond for a long time.
Ye Bai urged, "Honorable Master, please don't let the sect master down!"
Hearing Ye Bai's constant urging, Rong Xun remained expressionless, but his tone became colder.
"Of course I know. You don't need to remind me all the time. You can't make decisions for me!"
Hearing this, Ye Bai nodded slightly. Her eyes glanced at Tang Youyou in the distance, and the jealous look in her eyes once again landed on Tang Youyou.
If it weren't for Tang Youyou, she would have already won Rong Xun's heart. She had accompanied Rong Xun for more than a decade, but she couldn't compare to this person who came halfway!
She was not reconciled. She was really not reconciled!
How could such a person attract the attention of the one she had been longing for? When her tears fell, she noticed that Rong Xun in front of her had already disappeared.
A moment later, she merged with the darkness again.
On the other side, Xiao Jiu and the others weren't so lucky. In the jungle, there were all kinds of raptors. What was chasing them was actually vultures!
The crucial thing was that there were actually thirty or forty vultures chasing them this time!
Everyone kept running towards the depths of the jungle to avoid the attacks of these raptors.
Just as they were getting closer to the jungle, those raptors suddenly accelerated. With their sharp claws, they forcefully grabbed the shoulders of the first few people running.
The shoulders of those people were instantly scratched and bleeding. Then the vultures began to constantly ram these people. After each ram, a piece of flesh was forcefully torn off their bodies.
In a short while, those people became weak. The people behind got a chance to catch their breath and then ran crazily towards the jungle.
Xiao Jiu couldn't bear to watch the vultures killing people. He stayed at the back, drew out his long sword and waved it continuously towards the sky. While he was slashing randomly, several vultures were also injured.
However, his behavior only further enraged the killing intent of these vultures!
Before the vultures could attack again, suddenly a raging fire shot up into the sky from afar, and only then did the vultures leave.
When everyone saw that it was safe around them, they finally got a chance to catch their breath. They slumped to the ground, wiping the sweat from their foreheads, and couldn't help but tremble with their legs.
"Those things just now... shouldn't be from here, right?"
Hearing this, Xiao Jiu sneered, "What do you mean shouldn't? Those people have always regarded us as pawns to get medicinal materials for them. All of this is part of their plan! They had already thought it through from the very beginning. What Brother Tang said was also true!"
As he said this, he looked at the blushing boy in the distance who was like a fiery stick and walked towards him with difficulty.
When he came to the boy, he saw that the child's eyes were full of tenacity. He smiled and said, "Thank you for what just happened!"
The boy shook his head and threw the wooden stick in his hand on the ground. He said indifferently, "It's okay. I'm the same as you. I just want to save people."
Hearing this, Xiao Jiu became even more curious about this child. He asked, "Kid, I don't seem to have seen you before."
Hearing this, the boy nodded, "That's right."
Xiao Jiu asked, "Then what's your name?"
"Hua Ling."
After hearing this, Xiao Jiu gently patted his shoulder, "You kid, you're brave and resourceful. It really suits your name."
Hua Ling frowned slightly and said coldly again, "Thank you."
After saying that, he sat alone on one side, waiting for the subsequent arrangements.
Hua Ling looked at the people around him but didn't see Tang Youyou's figure. The worry in his heart gradually showed.
Since he inquired from the inside that Tang Youyou had come to Qingyun Sect alone, he had rushed over overnight, but still didn't see Tang Youyou's figure.
He didn't know how this person was now.
Xiao Jiu saw Hua Ling looking so miserable. He thought that he was still scared because of what just happened. He sat beside Hua Ling like an elder brother.
Then he took out a piece of beef jerky from his bosom and handed it to Hua Ling, who was still in deep thought. He said, "Here, eat this and cheer up. These things can be solved. Big brother will protect you later. Don't be afraid."
Hearing this, Hua Ling finally showed a smile, "Thank you. I'm not scared. I'm just worried about someone."
Xiao Jiu said, "Who? Maybe I can help you look for this person."
"Mr. Tang."
Hearing this name, Xiao Jiu shook his head, "I haven't heard of this person. He should not be among us."
Hua Ling sighed helplessly, "No, she has already come here."
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly raised his head, looked at Xiao Jiu expectantly, and asked again, "Then is there a young master surnamed Tang among you?"
Being asked like this, Xiao Jiu immediately nodded, "There is indeed a person surnamed Tang among us. That young master's name is Tang Wuxie. I don't know if he is the person you're looking for?"
Tang Wuxie? So that's it. The name Tang Youyou gave him before was just an alias.
Thinking of this, he asked again, "Where is this Young Master Tang now? Is he okay?"
Hearing this, Xiao Jiu shook his head and told Hua Ling all the things that had happened before. After hearing these things, Hua Ling couldn't help laughing.
"It seems that only she could do such a thing."
Hearing this, Xiao Jiu was naturally puzzled, but he wasn't curious.
"It's already night. Go to bed early. We'll go out to look for herbs tomorrow and help you look for your friend by the way."
Hearing this, Hua Ling nodded, walked towards a stone in the distance, leaned against the stone and slowly fell asleep.
When he opened his eyes, it was already bright.
The people around all woke up one after another and began to look for the herbs they needed. Yesterday was just a preliminary adaptation, and today they could start to take action.
Xiao Jiu looked at Hua Ling, who looked blank, and wondered, "Let me confirm again. Are you also looking for the ice flower?"
Hua Ling didn't react at first, and then nodded involuntarily, "Yes."
Xiao Jiu said, "The ice flower is an extremely cold thing and only grows in extremely cold places. We must go deeper and find the cave at the innermost part. Only there is the most likely place for the ice flower to appear."
