Watching the group of people walking away, Qing Xuan tried hard to hold back his laughter, but in the end, he burst out laughing.
"It's so interesting. This Ye Xiao doesn't seem very smart," he said.
Ji Yunxi turned to look at him. "Don't get carried away."
Qing Xuan was dissatisfied and whispered in protest, "I didn't! I just couldn't help it. Why didn't they think that if we broke through the hole, such a big hole would make quite a commotion."
Feng Xingzhi slightly curled his lips and nodded after hearing Qing Xuan. "So they can only be called scions of noble families."
Ji Yunxi thought about the meaning of Feng Xingzhi's words about the scions of noble families and suddenly found it a bit funny. The identity that everyone envied actually became a derogatory term in Feng Xingzhi's eyes.
"Forget it. Let them go. They will surely encounter that flood dragon after they go in. Whether they live or die depends on their own fortune."
Ji Yunxi was no saint. These people clearly had the intention of attacking them. She couldn't be expected to save them.
But that woman who spoke up for her...
"Xixi, are you thinking about that woman who spoke up?" Feng Xingzhi keenly noticed Ji Yunxi's slight sigh.
"Yes. She's the legitimate daughter of the Gao family."
Feng Xingzhi had secretly inquired about Ji Yunxi more than once in the capital before. Naturally, he knew that Gao Wanwan was one of her friends.
Moreover, this woman usually kept to herself, but she had some acquaintance with Ji Yunxi and Li Jiuge. They often played together in their childhood. Besides, Ji's father and Gao's father had a deep friendship.
Seeing Ji Yunxi looking a bit hesitant, Feng Xingzhi offered her a way out. "Shall we go and have a look? Xixi, don't worry too much. If you want to save her, I won't stop you."
Ji Yunxi thought that Feng Xingzhi really understood her well. So she smiled. "Okay. Let's check the situation first. If possible, we'll rescue her. If not, it's not my fault."
Feng Xingzhi nodded with a smile. "I'll support all your decisions."
Qing Xuan stood on the side alone, thinking that if it weren't for this strange place, he would never stay with them alone!
Ji Yunxi leaned over to the big hole in the stone wall and looked out. "Azhi, don't you think that flood dragon seems to know you?"
Feng Xingzhi forced a smile. "Even if it really knows me, I can't remember. Otherwise, this journey might have been smoother."
Meanwhile, Ye Xiao and his group walked out and followed the platform where Ji Yunxi had been attacked before.
Since there were many of them, the light from the fluorite was much brighter than Ji Yunxi's.
The flood dragon in the water sensed the presence of strangers and immediately became alert. It seemed that there would be a lot of food today.
The group of people didn't know that they had already become the flood dragon's potential prey. They kept chattering.
"Feng Xingzhi and Ji Yunxi are really good at running away!" Ye Xiaoting held onto the stone wall on one side and tugged at her brother's corner.
Gao Wanwan walked alone at the back. For some reason, she always had a sense of uneasiness.
Logically, they had been chasing for a long time, but they didn't see any sign of Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi. Moreover, she thought that a group of people had jumped into that stone chamber and then there was no movement. Didn't these people find it strange?
The more she thought about it, the more something seemed wrong. Frowning, Gao Wanwan thought about sneaking back alone. Anyway, she had come. Her father surely didn't expect her to get that treasure by herself.
Just as she was thinking, a shrill scream suddenly rang in her ears.
Looking up, she saw a flood dragon in the lake beside them glaring at everyone with its two big eyes.
She was so scared that she stood still. The people in front quickly ran towards her. However, before they could take a few steps, the flood dragon rammed into them and killed one of them right in front of Gao Wanwan.
She opened her mouth but couldn't even let out a scream.
Hearing the sound of water and screams from outside, Ji Yunxi knew that the flood dragon had come out. She immediately took out the fluorite and led Feng Xingzhi and Qing Xuan to chase after them.
Amid the sounds of fighting, she quickened her pace. Not far away, she could already see the blood - smeared figures.
Qing Xuan subconsciously pulled Ji Yunxi. "Master, maybe we'd better not go. I'm afraid that person is already dead."
Ji Yunxi shook her head. "Let's go and have a look. I just want to take a look."
Since she insisted on going forward, Feng Xingzhi could only accompany her. "Don't worry. I'll be with you."
As they walked forward, they saw that many of the previous group were seriously injured and lying on the ground.
Ji Yunxi quickened her steps and suddenly saw a figure shivering beside the wall. The color of the clothes clearly belonged to Gao Wanwan.
Without caring whether their appearance would cause any unexpected situations, they immediately stepped forward and grabbed Gao Wanwan.
Seeing the two retreat, Feng Xingzhi immediately drew his sword and used his spiritual power to slash at the flood dragon.
The flood dragon let out a hiss. It looked at Feng Xingzhi with a somewhat aggrieved look in its eyes and then retreated back into the water just like before.
The surviving people were full of shock, especially the scions of noble families from Nanyan. In their impression, this prince had always been a sickly person. Not to mention such powerful spiritual power, he might not even be able to lift that sword.
But now, with one sword, he had beaten that big guy back into the water.
Many people began to have second thoughts.
Although the treasure was important, they didn't have the ability to compete with Feng Xingzhi.
Moreover, there was also Ji Yunxi behind Feng Xingzhi. She was not easy to deal with either.
These people were just like wall - flowers. Seeing this scene, their first thought was not to be grateful to Feng Xingzhi for saving them, but to think that trying to snatch things from such people was like asking for death.
When Gao Wanwan saw Ji Yunxi, tears welled up in her eyes. She suddenly covered her mouth. "Don't talk for now."
Then she pushed her towards a fair - skinned man. The man was very good - looking. Gao Wanwan blushed immediately.
Ji Yunxi stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Feng Xingzhi.
Ye Xiao saw the two from afar. He immediately got up from the ground and rushed forward, pointing his sword at Feng Xingzhi. "You dare to show up. Then die!"
Ye Xiaoting's temple throbbed. Was her brother a fool?
She grabbed him and roared in a low voice, "Are you crazy?! Didn't you see his ability just now? Even that big guy is afraid of him!"
"We have so many people!"
Ye Xiaoting gritted her teeth. "Just look at how many people are still standing beside you!"
Ye Xiao turned his head and only then noticed that everyone had retreated two zhang away, afraid of confronting Feng Xingzhi.
"What a bunch of useless people!" he cursed in his heart, but he also knew that he really had no way to deal with Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi now.
Seeing that he didn't let go for a long time, Ye Xiaoting advised, "Don't be impatient. We'll think of another way. Don't fight head - on. What's left if you lose your life?"
Ye Xiao thought it made sense, so he closed his mouth awkwardly.
