As they conversed, in several other regions, sounds of fierce fighting erupted, appearing extremely terrifying. Everyone stared intently at the scene unfolding before them, a sense of sorrow filling their hearts.
Perhaps this was the hardship of cultivators; those with insufficient strength could only become stepping stones, or even turn into skeletons, buried in this ancient battlefield.
"Let's go!"
Lu Fan spoke, "If I'm not mistaken, there will be many experts intercepting us along the way. Whether we can successfully leave the ancient battlefield remains to be seen!"
The Young Master of the Tao Family nodded slightly, naturally understanding this point.
"Brother Xu, you don't have a Spirit Orb. As long as you don't travel with us, there won't be any problems!"
Xu Kuo shook his head, "Since I entered with you, I will naturally advance and retreat with you. This is my principle, and you don't need to persuade me!"
Following these words, the Young Master of the Tao Family frowned slightly, unsure of what to say. However, Xu Kuo's words were enough to show that he was a person of integrity.
"Brother Xu's noble character is truly admirable!" Lu Fan smiled slightly, "Since that's the case, why don't we join forces and try to snatch another Spirit Orb? That way, we can also fulfill Brother Xu's wish!"
"This..."
Xu Kuo was slightly taken aback, "It's probably very difficult. Those who can obtain Spirit Orbs are not ordinary people. Trying to get a Spirit Orb now is probably harder than ascending to heaven. Whether we can leave alive is another matter, let alone finding a Spirit Orb!"
"That's not necessarily true!" Lu Fan shook his head, "Not far from us, there's the aura of a Spirit Orb. If we go to snatch it, we should have a high chance!"
"I have the same idea!" The Young Master of the Tao Family nodded slightly, his expression becoming more solemn.
Xu Kuo was a good person, and it would be improper to leave him behind.
"Since you're going to snatch it, I'll accompany you!" Ouyang Qingqing shrugged, "After all, no matter what, I consider you friends!"
"I was waiting for you to say that!"
Lu Fan revealed a smile. He was well aware that Ouyang Qingqing's combat strength was extremely high. With Ouyang Qingqing's addition, they would be foolproof.
However, just then, Zhao Tiannan suddenly ran out, "I'll go with you. We are all friends, so how can I be absent!"
Seeing Zhao Tiannan's figure, Hu Yu frowned slightly, not expecting Zhao Tiannan to appear at this moment.
"Brother Zhao, didn't you leave already?" Xu Kuo frowned.
"Look at what you're saying. I was hiding in the dark just now, preparing to ambush them. That's how I could protect you!" Zhao Tiannan said, "Now that everyone is here, it doesn't matter!"
"You're speaking so eloquently, but it doesn't seem like it!"
Hu Yu said coldly, "You want to use our strength to get the Spirit Orb, which is why you're coming out now. When my eldest sister was in danger earlier, I didn't see you being so proactive!"
"You might have misunderstood. How could I be that kind of person!" Zhao Tiannan shook his head, "Don't you believe me?"
"It's not that we don't believe you, but some things are clear to everyone!" Xu Kuo said directly, "Brother Zhao, your actions are probably too despicable!"
"What do you mean by that!" Zhao Tiannan's eyes turned cold, and he felt a bit displeased.
"Naturally, it means what it says!" Lu Fan said directly, "You are not worthy of traveling with us, so it's more suitable for you to walk alone. We won't accompany you!"
"You're looking down on me!" Zhao Tiannan said coldly, feeling even more dissatisfied.
"You can think of it that way!" Lu Fan shrugged, "If you want to be looked up to, you first need to have the qualifications to be looked up to. People like you are simply not worthy!"
Following these words, Zhao Tiannan's face instantly turned ashen, but he dared not show his anger. He was well aware that Lu Fan's strength was extremely high and not someone he could offend. If he offended Lu Fan, he would likely not fare well.
At the same time, Hu Xian'er looked at Zhao Tiannan with a look of disdain, as if she had seen through someone like him.
Seeing that everyone disliked him so much, Zhao Tiannan was furious but helpless. He knew very well that it was impossible to force himself into the group.
Lu Fan didn't pay much attention to it and directly led Xu Kuo and the others towards the nearest Spirit Orb, not caring about Zhao Tiannan.
After all, people like him were not welcome. A fence-sitter, blowing with the wind from both sides, could not be a friend.
"Actually, you don't have to be like this!" Ouyang Qingqing shrugged, "The reason that person acted like that just now was merely basic human nature. Human nature is like this; it understands how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages!"
"Although human nature is like this, as friends, such behavior is unacceptable!" Lu Fan shrugged, "Are you also that kind of person?"
"I'm not, don't talk nonsense!" Ouyang Qingqing gave an awkward smile, her expression becoming somewhat serious.
Lu Fan was indifferent to these words.
After a while, they sensed the location of the Spirit Orb. However, there were no people around the Spirit Orb, which made them feel a little worried.
"What's going on? The aura of the Spirit Orb is nearby, but why can't we sense it!"
The Young Master of the Tao Family spoke, "Could the sensing be wrong?"
"Impossible. Didn't you see? There are corpses all around, and these corpses were not killed by humans. If I'm not mistaken, this Spirit Orb might have been taken by an ancient exotic beast!" Lu Fan reminded them, "Everyone must be careful. Those who can come to the ancient battlefield are all peerless prodigies, yet they were killed by this ancient exotic beast. This shows the formidable power of this ancient exotic beast!"
Hearing this, everyone's hearts sank. They dared not wander around carelessly, fearing they would be attacked by the ancient exotic beast. After all, this was no joke. If they were defeated by the ancient exotic beast, they would likely become its prey.
As they walked, a beastly roar sounded, causing great shock and filling their hearts with unease and even fear.
At the same time, Lu Fan suddenly looked towards the front. In the front, there was a monstrous aura, exuding a bestial nature. It was likely the ancient exotic beast.
At the same time, everyone's hearts were filled with worry, and they even dared not move forward. The ancient exotic beast was extremely ferocious, and the dozens of corpses around them were proof of this.
"What are you afraid of? With so many people, are you afraid of a single demonic beast!" Ouyang Qingqing encouraged them.
