The rumbling continued.
After running for an unknown duration, the man's stamina had significantly decreased. As the footsteps of the Titan Stone Ape grew closer, his body suddenly tensed.
He had sensed a presence not far ahead.
The man's face immediately lit up with joy, and he quickened his pace towards that direction, intending to lure the Titan Stone Ape towards the new arrival.
The next moment, he saw a figure leaning against a withered tree, leisurely blowing smoke rings, a few Qiankun bags swaying in his hand.
"Little bug, you're too slow!"
"I've already collected all the Qiankun bags from the荒山 disciples and smoked half a cigarette here. Why are you only arriving now!"
A mocking voice drifted over. The man also saw the face of the other person and was instantly struck as if by lightning.
Wasn't this Ye Cangtian? The other party, with his elusive movements, had appeared directly in front of him, causing him to tremble with fear.
Was he even human? Not only was his speed so fast, but he was also so elusive. He hadn't detected any aura at all...
Thinking of this, the man swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with a forced smile, "Ye Cangtian, don't be too smug. There are six Titan Stone Apes behind me!"
"Six? Is that a lot?"
Ye Cangtian glanced disdainfully at the man and continued, "Besides, do I need that much time to deal with you?"
Uh...
Hearing Ye Cangtian's tone, the man's face immediately darkened, and he angrily said, "Damn it, who are you looking down on? I'm telling you, these six Titan Stone Apes are just an appetizer!
My companions have already notified the higher-ups. It won't be long before the Feiyun Pavilion comes to eliminate you!"
Heh heh.
Ye Cangtian's disdain grew, and he said, "Do you think adding six great apes will buy you enough time? Are you overestimating yourself?"
"Damn it, then you try it!"
The man said exasperatedly, and without another word, unleashed a mental attack towards Ye Cangtian.
Hmph!
Ye Cangtian snorted coldly, directly unleashing a surge of spiritual power that instantly dissolved the man's mental attack and entered his body.
In an instant, the man let out a piercing scream from his mouth.
However, at this very moment, the frantically pursuing Titan Stone Apes had arrived beside the man, and without hesitation, a massive foot descended.
Pfft!
Like a watermelon exploding, the man's suffering came to an end, and he was reduced to a pile of bloody flesh.
This was not the end. Because Ye Cangtian was relatively close to the man, after dealing with the man, the Titan Stone Apes then charged towards Ye Cangtian.
"Hmph! Truly courting death!"
Ye Cangtian snorted coldly, and the Death Scythe instantly appeared in his hand, followed by a swing.
Facing the Death Scythe, the Titan Stone Apes did not flinch but continued their attack with extreme ferocity. However, they had clearly overestimated their own defenses.
In front of the Death Scythe, their skin, which was as tough as stone armor, was a mere joke.
As the Death Scythe swung, blood rained down, and within a short time, all six Titan Stone Apes fell to the ground.
After cleaning up the scene, Ye Cangtian continued his journey.
...
In another corner of the miasma-filled corrupted land.
A chubby little girl leaned against a large rock, her plump cheeks slightly flushed.
This person was none other than Yao Bao'er of the Death Squad.
After entering the teleportation gate, she had also been separated from the Death Squad. She had been fortunate initially, as all the skeletons in the area she was teleported to had already been eliminated.
She had also successfully found other teleportation arrays.
However, upon arriving at the miasma-filled core, her luck seemed to have run out.
First, she encountered a Titan Stone Ape and engaged in a fierce battle. Fortunately, Ye Cangtian's previous rigorous training of her, combined with her formidable mental power,
allowed her to narrowly defeat a Titan Stone Ape.
But just as she had collected the Titan Stone Ape's corpse into her Qiankun bag, a team appeared before her.
To her surprise, the team in front of her was not friendly to the Yin group; they were the people from Xuefeng, and not only them, but also people from Jifeng Tower.
Normally, Yao Bao'er should have been happy to see people from Jifeng Tower.
However, not only were they with people from Xuefeng, but coincidentally, the leader of Jifeng Tower was Shen Bingyang and Hu Lifeng.
These two individuals harbored deep resentment towards the Yin group! Their alliance with the people from Xuefeng was simply a conspiracy!
And Yao Bao'er, surrounded by them, truly felt like a lamb entering a tiger's den.
"Heh heh, Yao Bao'er, hand over your Qiankun bags, and we can give you a swift death!"
Jin Xiu, the little captain of Xuefeng, said with a cold smile.
To him, Yao Bao'er was like a god of wealth at the moment.
Anyone who could enter the Mustard Space was bound to have reaped substantial rewards!
Moreover, as far as they knew, Yao Bao'er was the medic of the Yin group and could refine some elixirs, thus she was highly valued by the Yin group.
Such a person would surely have many treasures in her Qiankun bags!
Furthermore, she was a treasure of the Yin group. If he could kill her, it would be a great contribution!
Of course, this thought would absolutely not be revealed before he obtained the Qiankun bags.
On the other hand, listening to Jin Xiu's words, Yao Bao'er shifted her gaze to Shen Bingyang and berated him.
"Shen Bingyang, are you colluding with the Xuefeng people to rob me of my Qiankun bags like this?"
"Have you forgotten that we are true allies? Aren't you afraid I'll tell Yi Feipeng about this?"
As her voice came, Shen Bingyang's face revealed a cold smile, and he said, "Yao Bao'er, do you think Yi Feipeng can really do anything to us?"
"What do you mean?" Yao Bao'er asked in confusion.
Shen Bingyang sneered and said, "You don't need to know what I mean. You just need to know that even if you go and complain, it won't mean much to us!"
Upon hearing this, Yao Bao'er's heart grew cold. The other party's fearlessness of threats made things difficult for her.
Her eyes darted around, and a flash of inspiration struck Yao Bao'er's mind. She quickly said, "How about we make a deal? You don't rob me of my Qiankun bags, and I can be your team doctor!
My medical skills are quite good! And I promise not to escape. This way, even if we encounter people from the Yin group, I can become your hostage..."
"Stop joking! If we keep you, won't we be inviting trouble for ourselves?"
Jin Xiu glared fiercely at Yao Bao'er. They were not unfamiliar with Yao Bao'er and knew that Ye Cangtian valued her greatly.
If they really let Yao Bao'er go, and Ye Cangtian found out everything, they would be the ones to suffer.
Therefore, he absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen!
However, his words had inadvertently revealed his murderous intent towards Yao Bao'er.
Yao Bao'er's expression changed slightly. She looked at Shen Bingyang again and continued, "Shen Bingyang, you should know my value!
I can save many of your lives, and I can also become your bargaining chip against Ye Cangtian!"
Hmm?
Upon mentioning dealing with Ye Cangtian, Shen Bingyang's eyes immediately flickered, clearly showing his interest.
After thinking for a moment, he looked at Jin Xiu beside him and said, "Jin Xiu, Xuefeng wants to deal with Ye Cangtian, right? Yao Bao'er is indeed a good bargaining chip. Why don't you agree to her terms..."
"But her Qiankun bags..."
Jin Xiu quickly interjected, truly unwilling to part with her Qiankun bags.
Shen Bingyang smiled slightly and then said, "The person is already with us, can the Qiankun bags still run away? Besides, if Ye Cangtian isn't dead, do you dare to snatch the Qiankun bags with peace of mind?"
This...
Hearing this, Jin Xiu hesitated.
After a long while, he slowly nodded and looked at Yao Bao'er, saying, "I can agree to your terms, but if any of our people are injured, you cannot be stingy with the medicinal herbs in your Qiankun bags!"
"No problem!"
Yao Bao'er readily agreed. Most of the elixirs in her Qiankun bags could be refined by herself.
Moreover, after the rainforest, the medicinal herbs required for refining were even more abundant. Even if she took them out for the other party to use, it wouldn't be much of an issue.
In any case, given the current situation, it was best to avoid conflict.
Otherwise, she would be forced to ask Nami for help, and in that case, Ye Cangtian would lose one of his trump cards.
"Bao'er, are you too spineless!"
Just as Yao Bao'er's voice fell, a mocking voice came.
Yao Bao'er was startled, and then her face showed immense joy. The people who had been so imposing moments ago were struck as if by lightning.
They were also familiar with this voice, which belonged to Ye Cangtian!
