As they were talking, in several other regions, sounds of slaughter rang out, looking extremely terrifying. Everyone stared intently at the scene 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 end up as 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 Pearl. As long as you don't travel with us, there won't be any problem!"
Xu Kuo shook his head, "Since I came in with you, I naturally have to advance and retreat with you. This is my principle, and you don't need to persuade me!"
With these words, the young master of the Tao family frowned slightly, unsure 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 Pearl? That way, we can also fulfill Brother Xu's wish!"
"This..."
Xu Kuo was slightly stunned, "It's probably very difficult. Those who can obtain Spirit Pearls are not ordinary people. Trying to get a Spirit Pearl now is probably harder than climbing to heaven. Whether we can leave alive is still a question, how can we find a Spirit Pearl!"
"That's not necessarily true!" Lu Fan shook his head, "Not far from us, there's the aura of a Spirit Pearl. If we go and snatch it, we should have a high chance!"
"I also think so!" The young master of the Tao family nodded slightly, his expression grave.
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!"
"That's what I was waiting for!"
Lu Fan smiled. He knew very well that Ouyang Qingqing's combat power was extremely strong. With Ouyang Qingqing's participation, they would be invincible.
Just as they were about to leave, Zhao Tiannan suddenly ran out, "I'll go with you. We're all friends, how can I be absent!"
Seeing Zhao Tiannan, Hu Yu frowned slightly, not expecting Zhao Tiannan to appear at this moment.
"Brother Zhao, weren't you leaving?" Xu Kuo frowned.
"Look at what you're saying. I was hiding in the dark just now, preparing to ambush them. That way, I could protect you!" Zhao Tiannan said, "Now that everyone is here, it doesn't matter!"
"You're talking a lot of high-sounding words, but it doesn't seem like it!"
Hu Yu said coldly, "You want to use our strength to get a Spirit Pearl, so you came out now. When my eldest sister was in danger just now, I didn't see you being so proactive!"
"You might be misunderstanding me. 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 frankly, "Brother Zhao, your actions are probably too low-class!"
"What do you mean by that!" Zhao Tiannan's eyes turned cold, and he was somewhat displeased.
"It means exactly what it says!" Lu Fan said frankly, "You don't deserve to travel with us, so you're better off traveling alone. We won't accompany you!"
"You look down on me!" Zhao Tiannan said coldly, his heart even more displeased.
"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 simply don't deserve it!"
With these words, Zhao Tiannan's face instantly turned ashen, but he didn't dare to lash out. He knew very well that Lu Fan's strength was extremely great, and he couldn't afford to offend him. If he offended Lu Fan, he wouldn't have a good outcome.
At the same time, Hu Xian'er looked at Zhao Tiannan with a look of disdain, as if she had seen through him.
Seeing everyone's disapproval, Zhao Tiannan was furious but helpless. He knew that it was impossible to force his way in.
Lu Fan didn't bother with him and directly led Xu Kuo and the others towards the nearest Spirit Pearl, paying no attention to Zhao Tiannan.
After all, people like him were not welcome. Opportunists who swayed with the wind could not be friends.
"Actually, you don't have to be like this!" Ouyang Qingqing shrugged, "The reason that person acted like that just now was just basic human nature. Human nature is like this; it knows to seek advantage and avoid harm!"
"Although that's human nature, 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 heavy.
Lu Fan remained unconcerned by these words.
Not long after, they sensed the location of a Spirit Pearl. However, there were no people around the Spirit Pearl, which made them feel worried.
"What's going on? The aura of the Spirit Pearl 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 Pearl 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 more than ten of them were killed by this ancient exotic beast, which shows how powerful it is!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts sank. They dared not move 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 food.
As they were walking, a roar of a beast sounded, which was shocking and made them feel uneasy, even fearful.
At the same time, Lu Fan suddenly looked towards the front. In the front, there was a heaven-shattering aura, emitting a bestial nature. It was likely the ancient exotic beast.
At the same time, everyone felt worried, and they didn't even dare to move forward. The ancient exotic beast was extremely ferocious, and the dozens of corpses around them were proof of that.
"What are you afraid of? With so many people, are you afraid of a single demonic beast!" Ouyang Qingqing encouraged them.
