There was a crisp sound, and Li Erdan slowly opened his eyes, spread out his palms, and saw two handfuls of lime-like powder in his palms.
"Hey! I still haven't been able to break through to the bone forging realm."
Li Erdan let out a long sigh, clapped his palms, and scattered the powder in his hands.
These powders were originally two pieces of magic core that killed the evil leader. The energy in the magic core was absorbed by Li Erdan, and turned into useless fly ash.
"Boy, just be content.
When I met you, you were just a Xuan-level warrior. Now your cultivation has reached the middle stage of the Heaven-level, and your body has also reached the Changing Tendon realm.
It has only been less than two years, what else are you dissatisfied with?
Even in the era when I grew up, your boy's progress could be considered a genius."
The ghost's somewhat envious voice sounded in Li Erdan's mind.
"Why!"
"Senior, it's not that juniors are dissatisfied, it's just that in the dangerous situation we are facing now, I am not strong enough and I really don't know what to do.
I always have a feeling that the evil master of this evil land will definitely be my formidable enemy."
Li Erdan said with a solemn expression.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Cultivation is something you do step by step, bit by bit.
If the sky falls, the big one will bear it first. At worst, you can find a safe place to hide. When the time is up, the strong man outside will open the door and walk away. That's it.
As for the demon thing?
Let those who are strong in the foundation building stage worry about it."
As soon as Gui Dong finished speaking, a burst of noisy footsteps sounded in Li Erdan's ears.
Looking up, I saw a dozen people walking over from a short distance away.
Walking in the front were Tong Jian, Gundilong and a few of Li Erdan's friends.
Behind Tong Jian and others were the captains of the three teams, Dong Sanjian, Dong Sanhai, and Tian Haichuan.
Tian Haichuan was the last team that Li Erdan rescued. Now that the four teams are together, Li Erdan's large team has already exceeded 2,000 people.
"Captain Li Erdan, I finally found you. I, Cao Hong, am sorry for you."
Behind everyone, an old man with an old face suddenly appeared. He ducked and came to Li Erdan. He grabbed Li Erdan's shoulders with both hands and cried bitterly with a painful expression.
"Cao Hong Family."
Seeing the appearance of the visitor, a look of surprise flashed across Li Erdan's face.
The old man in front of him was actually Cao Hong, who a few days ago did not agree with him to break out of the encirclement head-on and left with his family's masters.
"Captain Erdan, you must forgive me for being an old fool. If I hadn't been a stubborn old fool and couldn't leave with my family's masters, wouldn't they be the same?"
Cao Hong said that the master of the family couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Captain Erdan, you must forgive me for being an old fool. I will kneel down for you."
After Cao Hong, who was crying bitterly, turned over and knelt down in front of Li Erdan.
"Master Cao Hong, if you have something to say, where are the masters from your Cao family?"
Li Erdan helped Cao Hong up and asked.
"Captain Erdan, it's all the fault of this old fool like me. The elders of my family, except for me and Quanzi, have all died tragically at the hands of evil spirits. It's all the fault of this old fool like me.
.”
Cao Hong said in grief.
"Hmph! You deserve it.
If it weren't for you, an old fool who insisted on having your own way, how could those masters of your family have died tragically?
There are more than 300 members in our team. So far, we have encountered four waves of demonic armies without any casualties.
You, old fool, have only taken this person out for more than a day, and you have already involved all the strong men in the family. You say you deserve it or not."
Tong Jian cursed angrily with contempt on his face.
"Tong Jian is gone. Senior Cao Hong is already sad enough, so don't add salt to the wound."
Li Erdan frowned and said.
After all, those strong men from the Cao Hong family had followed Li Erdan for more than a month during the battle to seize the mountain. Now that they heard that they all died tragically at the hands of evil spirits, Li Erdan felt uncomfortable.
Tong Jian, who looked angry, originally wanted to say a few words, but when he saw Li Erdan staring at him, he finally suppressed what he wanted to say.
"Cao Hong family, tell me what happened to you after you left our team."
Li Erdan asked.
"Thank you Captain Erdan for your tolerance. I, Cao Hong, don't even know how to thank you."
"Leaving the team, I led the strong men of our family to break out of the gap, but who knew I would be discovered by hundreds of evil warriors.
Our family fought a bloody battle with these evil spirits, and in the end, except for me and the dog Cao Lijia, who broke out, all the remaining people died tragically."
"Later on, we, father and son, hid here and there. During this period, we met more than a dozen fellow martial arts practitioners who had been scattered. I brought them together and brought them here with me this time."
After listening to Cao Hong's cry, Li Erdan's eyes passed through Tong Jian and others and looked behind them.
Sure enough, behind Tong Jian and others, Cao Lijia and nine warriors that Li Erdan had never seen before were standing together.
"Thank you for your hard work. I wonder which team you all belong to?"
Li Erdan asked.
"Captain Erdan, I am Wan Canglong from the Mobei sect. I used to be in the ranks of Wang Yunfeng, Feng Jiuling, Liu Yuehong and other seniors."
"Captain Erdan, I am from Dong Jinshan's team, the two major demon sects."
The nine warriors Li Erdan had never seen before opened their mouths to introduce themselves.
"Everyone, since you have come to my team, Li Erdan, I will definitely not ignore you, just follow me from now on.
You guys should go down and find a place to rest first and recuperate for a while, then set out with me tomorrow to rescue other teams."
After everyone thanked Li Erdan, Cao Hong suddenly said with a mysterious face.
"Captain Erdan, when we were escaping here, we accidentally discovered a human team, but unfortunately, they were trapped in a valley by thousands of evil warriors.
We also want to save them, but we are too weak and have too few manpower, so we are really unable to do what we want."
Cao Hong said with a sad look on his face.
"Oh! Such a thing actually exists?
How many strong men are trapped, and how many enemies are there?
Also, how far are they from us now?"
Li Erdan asked hurriedly.
"The distance is too far, we didn't see clearly which team it was, but the number must be more than 500 people. The terrain they occupy is considered a natural danger, and they should be able to hold on for a few hours. However, if there are no reinforcements, this team will
The team is in danger.
As for distance?
It’s only half a day’s journey from us.”
Cao Hong said.
"Captain, what are we waiting for?
No matter which team is trapped, we should go to the rescue immediately and give the order quickly."
Tong Jian said with an eagerness to try.
"That's right, Captain, we've almost rested. Give us the order to rescue them early so that we can save some of our strongest humans."
Dong Sanjian and others also opened their mouths and said.
