"What are you scared of?" Xia Qingyan smacked her lips.
Looking at the contemptuous look on the young girl in front of her.
Come on, she was at least an eight - phase spiritual pharmacist and an alchemist.
Xia Qingyan's level was lower than hers. Would she need Xia Qingyan to cover for her when they fought later?
"Miss Luo, lives are precious. I'm the little prince of the Hailing Kingdom. Among people of my generation, few have talents that can surpass mine," Zhao Shuning said. "Don't worry. I will never let you lose your life."
"Not even seriously injured."
"Okay, okay, okay." Zhao Shuning quickly replied.
Xia Qingyan still seemed to think it was not reliable enough.
She added, "Then you have to promise me."
"Promise what?"
"If I get injured or disabled in the end and no one wants me, you have to be responsible for me for the rest of my life."
Zhao Shuning grabbed Xia Qingyan.
"Don't worry. You won't get disabled."
Then, Xia Qingyan followed Zhao Shuning towards the whirlpool.
There was a super - strong magnetic field around the Chaos Beast. Ling Ruo and all the elders were desperately resisting the Chaos Beast's attacks.
The Chaos Beast had a thick hide.
After being rammed again and again, cracks began to appear in the elders' protective shields.
When Zhao Shuning arrived.
The elders and the students were already soaked in sweat.
In such cold weather, they were completely wet all over. It seemed that this fierce battle had lasted for a long time.
The Chaos Beast was naturally ferocious.
Under the attacks of others, its violent nature was fully revealed.
Seeing this situation, Xia Qingyan was about to rush out, but Zhao Shuning quickly pulled her back.
"Are you crazy? You don't want your life?"
"Didn't you say you'd let me cover for you while you sneak - attack the Chaos Beast?"
Zhao Shuning rolled her eyes.
"You're so stupid. The Chaos Beast is an ancient divine beast. Now its energy is not exhausted yet. If you rush out like this, you'll only anger it, which won't do me any good at all."
"Miss Luo."
"Hmm?"
Xia Qingyan looked seriously at the young girl in front of her.
"Miss Luo, I think your tone when talking to me is a bit off."
"What's off?"
Zhao Shuning didn't even turn her head and didn't notice Xia Qingyan's expression.
"I think you're treating me like an idiot."
"What?"
Finally, Zhao Shuning turned her head.
But now, the way she looked at Xia Qingyan was really like looking at an idiot.
"I also think that you not only treat me like an idiot but also treat Elder Ling Ruo and the others as idiots. In front of everyone, how can you steal the Chaos Beast right under their noses?"
Zhao Shuning rolled her eyes and looked at Xia Qingyan meaningfully.
Xia Qingyan covered her chest and took a step back.
"What are you going to do? Miss Luo, I'm a decent person."
Zhao Shuning gently pushed Xia Qingyan.
"Otherwise, do you think I asked you to come with me for what? To really let you deal with the Chaos Beast? With your abilities, you'd only end up as cannon fodder."
Xia Qingyan frowned.
"Then why did you ask me to come?"
"You're one of the outstanding freshmen, the candidate for the son - in - law favored by the princess of the Tianli Kingdom, and the direct disciple of Elder Ling Ruo. When they subdue the Chaos Beast later, remember to cover for me."
Xia Qingyan smacked her lips.
So, this girl didn't want to confront the Chaos Beast head - on but wanted to reap the benefits of others' hard work!
She had thought that the young girl, who was so afraid of death, wouldn't have rushed into this Nether Valley without a care for her life. It turned out that her intentions were not right from the start.
"If Elder Ling Ruo finds out, I'll be expelled from school!"
"So, you have to act well later and mustn't be discovered."
Xia Qingyan took a step back and said warily, "A gentleman knows what he should and shouldn't do."
Zhao Shuning retorted, "I'm not a gentleman."
"I won't collude with you."
"Don't talk about yourself so badly! This is a cooperation. Do you understand cooperation?"
Xia Qingyan felt that the longer she knew the young girl in front of her, the more she realized that the previous impression of her was just an illusion.
She was like a fox, cunning and knowing how to lead others step by step into her trap.
By the time others realized it, they were already in the wolf's den and couldn't get out.
"Luo Feiyan!"
"Help me. I have a way to tame the Chaos Beast and make it my mount."
Xia Qingyan sighed.
"If the sect master finds out, I'm doomed."
"Thank you, little prince."
"I don't know what incredible treasure I owed you, Miss Luo, in my previous life that I have to risk my life for you in this life."
A big smile appeared on Zhao Shuning's face.
After a while, the Chaos Beast launched its second wave of attacks.
This time, both Zhao Shuning and Xia Qingyan were very close to the Chaos Beast.
"Get down."
Zhao Shuning grabbed Xia Qingyan's shoulder, and they both lay on the ground.
"Not good. This Chaos Beast is not easy to deal with."
"What about Elder Ling Ruo and the others?"
"If it were a juvenile Chaos Beast, they could fight it. But this one is in its prime, and it seems to have eaten some incredible spiritual grass. Look at its tail; there's a green light on it."
Xia Qingyan's heart was pounding.
Screams began to come from outside.
One after another.
Zhao Shuning's palm was clenched into a fist.
Was she nervous too?
"Xia Qingyan, the plan has changed. Hide well."
Under the second round of attacks from the Chaos Beast, dozens of students were exhausted. Their bodies were knocked back dozens of meters by the impact of the Chaos Beast's attacks.
Then they fell from mid - air and hit the ground hard, spitting out fresh blood. They were seriously injured.
Zhao Shuning took out a red silk and green dress from her Qiankun bag.
In a flash, the dress was on her body.
"Miss Luo, what are you going to do?"
"They can't hold on anymore. I'll go and save them."
"You're crazy. If you go out now, you'll just be courting death."
Zhao Shuning pulled Xia Qingyan's hand away.
She said, "My master once taught me a principle: the common people are the most important. If I have the ability but watch my fellow disciples die without doing anything, I don't deserve to be my master's disciple."
What did she mean by this?
"Xia Qingyan, I miscalculated. This is a Vitality - Restoring Pill. Later, put it in your mouth and cover your ears tightly. It can keep you safe."
Before Xia Qingyan could ask, Zhao Shuning's figure had already disappeared in front of her.
It was also at this time.
The Chaos Beast had gathered all its strength and was preparing for the third round of attacks.
The impact of this attack was two to three times stronger than the previous ones.
Xia Qingyan suddenly felt a sharp pain in her eardrums. She quickly covered her ears, but the roar of the ancient divine beast was so penetrating that Xia Qingyan's ability couldn't block it at all.
She quickly put the Vitality - Restoring Pill in her mouth as Zhao Shuning had said.
She finally felt a bit better.
Although her spiritual power was exhausted, her vision went black, and she fainted.
Before that, she still wondered.
Was the pill Luo Feiyan gave her a Vitality - Restoring Pill or a sleeping pill?
Zhao Shuning managed to dodge the third wave of attacks, but Elder Ling Ruo and the others, who were confronting the Chaos Beast head - on, were not so lucky.
After the third wave of attacks.
Their bodies all fell backward rapidly and hit the ground heavily.
There were many casualties!
