"Haha, senior brother, don't be impatient. Listen to me. In fact, you are the one who is in danger. After that big guy hunts for food, I will try my best to hold him back. If I can't hold him back, I will have no choice but to expose you.

The Qiongqi beast will definitely go back to hunt the flower thieves, so senior brother must pick the flowers quickly to have a chance to escape."

Shen Ming smiled lightly, feeling a hint of admiration for Li Hai in his heart. Although he seemed arrogant and arrogant on the surface, he was still measured in his actions and had no malicious intent.

As a senior brother, he always pays attention to the situation of his junior brothers and sisters. Although he does not say it on the surface, his actions also vaguely reveal his concern for his companions.

"You brat, I thought you were giving senior brother a good job, but I didn't expect you were trying to trick me." Li Hai smiled bitterly and touched his shoulder with the scabbard.

"No problem, I'll take care of it. Who said I'm better than you? But you must pay attention to safety and don't hold on. I don't want to collect your body for you."

"Senior brother, don't worry, I'm measured."

"Uh-huh!"

At noon, the sky is clear and blue.

The Qiongqi beast flew out from the waterfall and went to hunt in the woods on the left as usual, and Shen Ming and the others started to take action.

Shen Ming ran in the direction where Qiongqi Beast was hunting. When Qiongqi Beast was about to come back, it wouldn't be a problem to hold it back for a while. The main purpose was to buy time for Senior Brother Li Hai.

Li Hai quickly climbed to the top of the waterfall and picked up the mandala. He saw that his mysterious energy was flowing through his body, and he was as light as a swallow in an instant. His climbing speed accelerated, and he could reach the small cave entrance in less than half an hour.

…

"I didn't expect Shen Ming to find helpers. It seems that he wants to hold off the beast and buy time for his companions. In this way, they may be able to succeed. I wonder what instructions the Demon Lord has?" Queen Mandala respectfully said.

road.

"No one can change my plan!" Demon Lord said with a stern voice, a trace of red light flashing in his eyes.

"Yes, Xiaohua understands!"

Queen Mandala understood the meaning of the demon, immediately gathered her consciousness, and conveyed her thoughts to the Mandala flower again.

In an instant, the black mandala received the order from the queen and sent a signal to the Qiongqi beast in the distance.

The Qiongqi beast flying above the woods was looking for prey. When it received the call from Mandala, it immediately stopped hunting and turned around to fly towards the waterfall.

At the same time, a majestic roar sounded in the vast sky, like the sound of thunder, which could be heard for hundreds of miles, making people feel fearful.

"Who dares to steal my mandala!!!"

Shen Ming was suddenly startled, with a suspicious look on his face. Why did the Qiongqi beast suddenly return? Could it be that the mandala flower and the Qiongqi beast had already established some kind of connection, and as long as he got close to the mandala, the Qiongqi beast would know it immediately?

Shen Ming thought about it for a while and watched the Qiongqi beast fly past his head. A trace of worry arose in his heart, and he immediately ran back and prayed silently.

Li Hai looked into the sky in the distance and was quite shocked in his heart. Before he could even see the flower, the Qiongqi beast flew back quickly. It was really weird. Could it have been discovered?

However, there is no time to think about this problem now. We must escape from here immediately. With Li Hai's fourth-level Qi refining power, he still cannot confront Qiongqi Beast head-on.

After a moment, Li Hai jumped down and hid behind the rocks on the other side of the river, which was hidden and difficult to find.

When Qiongqi Beast rushed back, he saw that Mandala was still there, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He looked around and found no one. In an instant, its roar shook the mountains.

"Ignorant young man, if you have the ability, you dare to ignore my king's warning. I will have you cut into pieces!"

In an instant, Shen Ming rushed to the river. This time he did not plan to hide here and there and tried every means to steal the mandala. Now he knew very well that no matter what method he used, as long as he got close to the mandala, the strange beast would find it.

It's like someone is controlling everything behind the scenes. In this case, the battle with Qiongqi Beast is inevitable. Only by defeating it can you get the mandala.

Seeing a high-spirited human man wearing a black cloak, short fluffy hair, delicate features, and high spirits standing under the waterfall, Qiongqi Beast showed a greedy smile.

"It's interesting that he is from the human race. Boy, you are worthy enough to covet my king's mandala. Are you tired of living?" Qiongqi Beast sneered.

"Your Majesty, I don't mean to offend you. It's just because my friends need this mandala flower to regain their freedom. I can't say more about the reasons. If you can endure the pain and give up my love today, I will repay you in the future."

Shen Ming solemnly promised, with a sincere attitude.

"Haha." After hearing this, Qiongqi Beast couldn't help but burst into laughter. The corners of its mouth were slightly raised, showing disdain in its eyes.

"Boy, that's nice to say. You humans have always been greedy and cunning, and you repay kindness with hatred in the blink of an eye. Do you really think that this king will believe your lies?"

"The mandala flower is originally the flower of the Demonic Realm. The king just relied on his own strength to take possession of it. I also respect you, so I make a promise to you. Since the king does not believe me, then the only way to redefine this is

Who is the owner of the flower?" Shen Ming shouted coldly.

"You alone dare to challenge me? What a big joke. You don't even care how much you weigh!"

The Qiongqi beast sneered, disapproving.

"This guy really doesn't make people worry, ugh..."

Li Hai sighed, shook his head, then stepped on the rock and jumped to Shen Ming's side.

Seeing Li Hai also taking the risk, Shen Ming had mixed feelings, a trace of moved tears flashed across his eyes, and he said:

"Brother, you shouldn't have come out."

"What nonsense are you talking about? If you don't come out, why can't I collect the body for you? I don't have the time to spare after you've said it."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"I didn't expect the little devil to have helpers, but it's no use. If you want to fight with me, you are not qualified. Today, this is your burial place!"

"That's not necessarily the case!"

Shen Ming Wuwei responded, holding a dagger in his hand. Li Hai also pulled out his sharp sword, threw away the scabbard, and prepared for a life-and-death fight!

"You are looking for death!"

The Qiongqi Beast roared angrily, exposed its sharp claws, and quickly attacked Shen Ming and the others, accompanied by a whirlwind.

…

"Demon Lord, Xiaohua doesn't understand. They have nothing to do, so why do they continue to persevere? Why do they still go to death when they can't defeat that beast? What is the reason why they would rather fight to the death to get the mando?

Luo?" Queen Mandala asked in confusion.

Seeing the corners of the Demon Lord's mouth raised slightly, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, as if he could see through everything, and then he answered the question:

"Xiao Hua, the reason why you don't understand is because you don't eat the smoke and fire of the world. Only when you have a deeper experience in the world can you realize what kindness is and what love is. There is a kind of kindness in the world, called the kindness of a drop of water, which is repaid by a spring;

There is a kind of love, which is to go through fire and water without hesitation."

"Well, it's just that Xiaohua has little experience. I'm really not interested in the fireworks of the world. I still like to stay in this Man's Garden and obey the orders of the Demon Lord. Is there anything more honorable than this?" Queen Mandala said with affection.

Maimai said, with a hint of childishness in her tone.

"Haha, why didn't I realize before that Xiaohua can also flatter her?" Demon Lord teased.
