Big sister, she changed schools

Chapter 190 Fire Spirit Fruit

The moment he stepped into the formation, Tao Zi suddenly let go of Xi Jing's hand.

Xi Jing looked at her in astonishment. Before she could grasp her senior sister's hand again, the formation's white light covered them.

The moment the white light dissipated, she immediately looked in the direction of her senior sister, but there was no one there.

Zhao Xue also noticed it and asked anxiously: "Where is senior sister?"

She briefly explained what had just happened.

Han Yueshan thought for a while and comforted: "Senior sister has something to do. Let's take care of ourselves and don't bring trouble to senior sister. Don't worry, senior sister will be fine."

Of course she knew what senior brother meant when he said he had something to do, but it was exactly like this that made her anxious: "Senior sister is alone, how can I not be anxious?"

The flower monk on the side corrected him: "You are not alone. Fellow Taoist Li also followed."

They were stunned, and then realized that Li Xiu wasn't there either.

Han Yueshan asked doubtfully: "Senior Brother Hua, wasn't Senior Brother Li with you before?"

"The moment the white light rose, he suddenly rushed to Fellow Daoist Tao." He paused, looked at the fox cousin on Zhao Xue's shoulder and said, "Jiao'er, can you contact the little fox?"

Cousin Fox shook her head and said, "No way."

Han Yueshan said: "That's all, let's take a look at it step by step. Maybe we can meet senior sister. If that doesn't work, we can meet up in the middle of the valley."

"That's all it can do. You three, follow me closely. If anything happens, I'll be there. You guys run away."

Zhao Xue said: "I'm so sorry. What if something happens to Senior Brother Hua?"

"No, the main reason is that you three are too weak, and I can't take you away." Hua Monk paused and added, "You run away first, so I can feel at ease when I run away."

"Thank you so much for that."

While they were chatting, Tao Zi arrived outside a cave. She leaned back slightly, her scalp hurting slightly: "Brother Xiu, please let go of my hair."

"Ah, sorry, I didn't pay attention." Li Xiu quickly let go of her hair.

The little fox poked his head out from under his cloak and said, "Where is this?"

Tao Zi replied: "In the valley."

"...Answered is the same as no answer."

Li Xiu looked around, and her eyes suddenly fell behind Tao Zi, and her expression changed: "Mei Tao, there seems to be eyes there, isn't it right!"

"It's a monster." Tao Zi answered calmly, without looking back, she stuffed a ten-mile talisman into Li Xiu's hand and started the escape mode.

The monster roared and chased out.

The little fox struggled and stuck his head out and said, "Do you need my help? My blood can suppress it."

Tao Zi pushed its head back: "It will also attract other people."

Li Xiu took the time to say: "Little fox, what state is it in?"

"The second-level monster is roughly equivalent to the human race's spinning stage. If it is stronger, it may be able to fight with those in the consecrating stage."

He looked at Tao Zi and asked urgently: "Sister Tao, can you come in?"

Tao Zi replied without thinking: "No, you can't fight, so run away."

Li Xiu was a little skeptical about this answer, but she didn't ask any more questions.

After escaping for about a quarter of an hour, the monster finally stopped.

The little fox looked at the monster from a distance and complained: "This is the first time I am chased by such a low-level monster. It really embarrasses my fox clan."

Tao Zi ignored it, looked at the surrounding environment, and guarded against the monster chasing after him again.

Li Xiu hesitated and said: "Mei Tao, Brother Xiu sincerely asks you a question. Please answer honestly."

She looked in a certain direction and said, "Well, ask."

"Are you really unable to defeat that monster?"

Tao Zi looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

"If you really can't beat them, forget about that thought in your head. Those people are harder to deal with than the second-level monsters." She glanced at him and said, "You can beat them, but there is no need to fight."

"why?"

She explained: "That monster is worthless and useless. Fighting it consumes your energy."

Li Xiu suddenly realized.

Tao Zi added ruthlessly: "Besides, I'm the only one here who can fight. I must conserve my strength."

He touched his nose and stopped talking.

At this time, she suddenly raised her voice: "Fellow Taoist over there, why don't you come out and meet me?"

Li Xiu quickly turned around and looked in the direction she was pointing, with a cold sweat breaking out from behind.

There is a dense grove there, and at first glance, besides trees, there are still trees.

At this time, several people jumped down from the tree, smiling: "Don't be surprised, fellow Taoist, we are just worried that those who come are not kind."

Li Xiu said expressionlessly: "We don't look like good people?"

Those people looked at them all in black and said, "Wearing a cloak, we have to be suspicious."

Tao Zi snorted and ignored them, saying: "Brother Xiu, let's go."

With that said, she walked in the other direction.

But he stopped them on the other side and said, "Fellow Taoist, stay here."

Li Xiu thought Tao Zi would continue walking, but she unexpectedly stopped.

"What's the matter?"

The man smiled gently and said, "Fellow Taoist, do you want to cooperate?"

Tao Zi turned sideways slightly and asked, "Cooperation?"

"Yes, there is something very precious in this valley - the Fire Spirit Fruit. How about we work together to find it, [-]-[-], you and I [-]-[-], how about it?"

She smiled. The man couldn't see it, but he could only guess a thing or two from her voice: "Why should I cooperate with you? If you regret it and want to kill people and seize treasures, I can't beat you."

The man said seriously: "I am a disciple of the Minglan Sect's Punishment Hall, so naturally I will not break my promise."

Li Xiu's eyes darkened and she quickly looked at Tao Zi.

She said slowly: "I'm sorry, the Minglan Sect's Punishment Hall has a bad reputation."

The man said seriously: "That was the torture hall in the past, but it is different now."

Someone beside him echoed: "The traitor was the one who implicated the execution hall in the past. I hope the girl doesn't care."

In order to win her trust, the man said a few more words: "In the past, those disciples of the Punishment Hall who committed the most heinous crimes either defected, were imprisoned, or died. This is something everyone knows, and fellow Taoists do not need to doubt it."

Defection, imprisonment, death.

Tao Zi slowly touched the little fox. The fur all over the little fox's body stood up, but she forced it back.

She said slowly: "In this case, I reluctantly believe this letter, but you have to tell me why you want to cooperate with me."

"There is a fox in Fellow Taoist's arms, and the fox tribe is particularly sensitive to the smell of fire spirit fruit."

Tao Zi looked at Li Xiu and smiled: "Brother Li, what do you think?"

He replied nonchalantly: "I think it's fine."

"Then let's cooperate."

Tao Zi smiled and turned towards those people and introduced herself: "My surname is Tao. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

"Fellow Tao Dao, my surname is Xu. It's a pleasure to work with you."

Li Xiu looked behind him and said slowly: "My surname is Xiu, just call me Daoist Fellow Xiu."
