"Who could it be?" With his eyes fixed on the eastern side of the Mang Lin, Qin Lie's expression became serious.

"Whoosh!" Xiu Xiu! * "Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!"

The sharp, whistling sound of arrows piercing through the air suddenly came from the bushes as they shot out one arrow after another. Their target was clearly Tu Ze's group.

Qin Lie's face changed in shock, seeing the arrows shooting at him, he quickly retreated, looking for rocks to dodge.

It was at this moment that three Martial Cultivator wearing dark brown clothes gradually emerged from the bushes.

Two of them held longbows in their hands. Their eyes were sharp, and they continued to shoot arrows while moving.

Qin Lie quickly calmed down and slowly adjusted his breathing.

The three of them held their weapons as they stared at Qin Lie fiercely. The leader was a young man with silver hair, who was staring at Qin Lie sinisterly.

He was also wearing a long, dark brown robe, but there was a wolf's head embroidered on the left side of his chest. It looked like a special symbol.

"Stop cowering there like a dead dog, get out!" The silver-haired youth walked forward coldly. "We have been chasing that Iron Scale Python for a long time, but I didn't expect you to take advantage of it. Your luck is pretty good. Leave the beast core behind, and I'll spare your life."

The silver-haired young man stared at Qin Lie with his sharp eyes.

Although the two people beside him did not have an aura as strong as the silver-haired youth, they were not weak either.

"Hand over the beast core or don't blame us for being impolite!" The person on the left suddenly shouted. Even though they knew that Qin Lie's Cultivation Level was above them, they couldn't take it anymore when they saw their beast cores being stolen right in front of their eyes.

The three of them were not in a hurry to swarm over. Instead, they spread out in a semicircle, slowly moving closer and closer to where Qin Lie was hiding. Surrounded by horned horns.

Seeing their actions, Qin Lie was startled, he was surprised that the three of them had such tacit understanding, it was clear that it was not formed overnight, and their coordination was complete.

He gradually came to understand that he had accidentally killed this Fourth Stage Iron Scale Python, which was very likely to be the target of someone else, causing his resentment.

"How can I give something that I obtained with my own hands to someone else …" Qin Lie secretly made up a story as his eyes suddenly shone with an astonishing divine light!

Looking at the silver-haired youth, Qin Lie frowned. "If you want a beast core, come and get it if you have the ability."

"You're courting death!" When the silver-haired youth heard that, his eyes immediately turned red. The auras of the three people were not one bit inferior to Qin Lie's, and the two people beside him had an aura as deep as the abyss. From the viciousness in their eyes, one could tell that each of them had experienced a baptism of blood.

The two of them roared at the same time, their faces were filled with anger, and immediately used their ruthless hands, wanting to kill Qin Lie in one move.

Boom!

The silver-haired youth did not hesitate either. Picking up his sword, he took the lead and rushed to the front. Spirit energy surged out as the three horned men attacked simultaneously with gusts of wind coming out from their fists as they attacked Qin Lie together.

Their actions were extremely ruthless, and every single strike contained a killing intent.

Moreover, they had three people.

"Good timing."

Qin Lie growled as the Fish Intestine Sword in his hand shone with a bright green light. He rushed forward and was the first to clash with the silver-haired youth.

"Crack!"

The sound of the Longsword being cut was heard clearly as the silver-haired youth's sword split in half. Under the silver-haired youth's horrified gaze, he kicked the sword and fell to the ground! Using the same method, Qin Lie knocked the other two people down one after another.

After a few breaths, the three people who were filled with killing intent and threatened to snatch Qin Lie's Spirit Crystal were already lying on the ground, wailing in pain.

Qin Lie coldly walked in front of the three people, and fished out two or three shining Spirit Crystal s from their storage bags. In the end, he lightly smiled and waved his hand towards the three people, and said: "Still want to bully the few with your numbers?" After he finished speaking, Qin Lie stepped over the three of them and continued to walk into the forest, leaving the three of them lying on the ground dejectedly with bitter expressions. It wasn't easy for them to run into Lone Wolf, but they actually ended up fighting against a tough opponent.

On the other side, Qin Lie was still walking at a leisurely pace. After those three people, there were quite a few unlucky fellows in the forest who discovered Qin Lie, and excitedly ambushed him. Unfortunately, these people, without exception, were all beaten up badly by Qin Lie, and had even smoothly taken away all of their Spirit Crystal s.

As he leisurely walked by, the number of Spirit Crystal in Qin Lie's possession neared twenty. They were all Profound Rank level five and there were also quite a few beast cores of Third Rank s.

They were all at the same level of Myriad Profound Stage, and one of them had already reached the middle stage. However, the three of them were still completely looted by Qin Lie, and Qin Lie did not kill them.

Just as Qin Lie wanted to continue his journey, he suddenly remembered that after being entangled with these people for such a long time, he had actually forgotten to look for Xia Ruoxi and Xia Chu Lan to reunite.

However, after walking for a few hundred meters, he noticed that there was someone observing him.

Qin Lie looked towards the direction of his gaze, only to see a girl standing on a branch of a towering tree. She was dressed in a tight blue leather armor, and under the protection of the leather armor, she seemed even more alluring, only her skin was not as fair as a normal girl's, but was more bronze colored, and she looked like a person who had lived in the forest for a long time.

At that moment, she was staring at Qin Lie with killing intent, with a strong hostility. The arrow in her hand was nocked and ready to shoot, it seemed to be infused with a deadly poison.

Looking at this scene, Qin Lie frowned slightly. A surging killing intent exploded out in the next moment, locking onto the girls.

"Who are you?" Qin Lie said in a serious tone.

"Palaeo- Linger, the person who is here to take your lowly life!"

"Why did you kill me?" Qin Lie asked curiously.

Palaeo- Linger grinned, "Because you are someone my Big Sister Gushe wants to kill."

Hearing that, Qin Lie suddenly realised.

This Palaeo- Linger came from a normal family clan of Nine Xuan Empire, it's just that the Gu family she belonged to had a special relationship with the Ancient Desolate Clan.

Every year, the Ancient Desolate Clan would pay a visit to the Gu Clan and teach martial arts, cultivation techniques, status, and money to the outstanding members of the Gu Clan. These people only needed to work for the Ancient Desolate Clan.

This meant that although there were only three participants in the Great Desolate Sect on the surface, it was not the truth. There was another 'chess piece' that could be used.

"Swoosh!"

The arrow left the bow, it was as fast as lightning, in the blink of an eye, but Palaeo- Linger did not relax at all. Instead, she was astonished, because she realized that Qin Lie had actually dodged his attack!

Not only did the arrow not hit Qin Lie, but it had rebounded back at her at an even faster speed.

's forehead revealed traces of sweat beauty as her eyes suddenly lit up. Just as the two of them looked at each other again, Palaeo- Linger suddenly felt a hint of fear from her body.

It was a trembling that came from the depths of his soul.

Anger, killing, coldness, and … Bloodthirsty!

Yes, it was bloodlust. This kind of feeling was like a God of Slaughter crawling out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, treading on piles of bones.

Palaeo- Linger was shocked, and she suddenly experienced an illusion in her heart. In Qin Lie's eyes, it was as if she was a dead man without any life energy at all.

"Do you know where Xia Chu Lan and the others are? If you don't know, then you have no need for me to exist. " Qin Lie glanced at Palaeo- Linger, his tone extremely indifferent.

The moment this extremely cold and indifferent voice came out, Palaeo- Linger's expression tensed up. She clearly realized that she had become his prey.

"I can give you all the Spirit Crystal." As Palaeo- Linger spoke, she observed the surroundings. The youth in front of him was not someone she could handle, if not, there would be no way for him to release such a great pressure!

"Tell me about Xia Chu Lan, otherwise, die!" Looking at Palaeo- Linger gloomily, the sinister look on Qin Lie's face became even stronger, from afar, he looked like a god of death.

At the same time, he was filled with disdain. Spirit Crystal? If he needed it, would he not be able to find it?

Once the word death came out, without waiting for Palaeo- Linger to escape, Qin Lie's figure instantly went berserk, but just as Palaeo- Linger was about to escape, seeing Qin Lie's face, she was immediately filled with fear. In her eyes, this person was just like a devil!

"Ugh …"

Palaeo- Linger's eyes instantly widened, her two hands could not help but grab onto her neck, her body also hung in the air, the toes off the ground, the air, everything that she could breathe previously, now seemed like a dream, it was unattainable.

Qin Lie's eyes were cold and detached. He grabbed her neck with one hand and used bit by bit of strength to make Palaeo- Linger's face even more pale.

Looking at this miserable state, Qin Lie's eyes did not waver at all, they were just as cold as before. A pair of eyes, as if they came from hell, coldly stared at her.

After a long while, Qin Lie opened his mouth and said, "You've already set your sights on me, I'm afraid you've found the wrong target. There are some people that you can't afford to offend …"

Palaeo- Linger did not speak, and she could not speak either. Not only her throat, even her entire body was lifted high in the air by Qin Lie, unable to move.

Qin Lie continued to speak: "I don't want to waste words, there are two paths laid out in front of you. First, tell me where Xia Menglan and Xia Ruoxi from the Mang Huang Clan are, lead me to them, and I will let you go. Second …"

He did not say anymore, but the strength in his hands became even stronger, pinching Palaeo- Linger until she almost suffocated. Just when she thought that she was about to die, Qin Lie released her hand, and strand after strand of air entered her body through the crack, giving her another chance to catch her breath.

"Now, make your choice." Qin Lie said indifferently, his eyes cold.

"Heh heh …"

Palaeo- Linger's body continued to struggle, using both hands and feet, with her throat rolling, but she could only make sounds. This made Qin Lie's face even more gloomy, what was the meaning of this? You want to resist after being reduced to a prisoner?

"Looks like you've chosen the second option …" We refuse a toast and are forced to drink a forfeit! " As Qin Lie said that, he started to use his strength bit by bit. Under this kind of power, Palaeo- Linger's eyes were wide open and her face was flushed red.

The feeling of death that she had experienced once before seemed to have returned. Under this feeling, Palaeo- Linger struggled even more.

"Ugh …" Palaeo- Linger's strength became smaller and smaller, and her struggling became weaker and weaker. The last two legs were already hanging down powerlessly, and one of her hand was also no longer struggling. But strangely, she lifted her other hand high up, as if she was holding all the strength in her body, and pointed at her own neck with her mouth wide open, as if she wanted to say something.

"Hmm? What do you want to say? " Palaeo- Linger's strange movements caught Qin Lie's attention. This appearance, was not as though he was trying to struggle and escape, but as if he was reminding him of something?

Seeing that Qin Lie's killing intent was still there, but even more of it was on her face with doubt, Palaeo- Linger only raised her hand even more, both of her eyes seemed to spew fire, as she stared at Qin Lie angrily.

If Palaeo- Linger could speak right now, she would definitely scold her without caring about the woman's image: How am I supposed to talk if you grab onto my neck!! Let go of my neck!

However, Qin Lie did not understand what Palaeo- Linger meant, and looked at her suspiciously, while the latter's eyes were almost spitting fire, their four eyes staring straight at each other, ending up in a deadlock for a while.

Qin Lie became impatient, and grabbed her neck tightly: "What exactly do you want to say? Give me an understanding. "

"…" Palaeo- Linger was left half dead by this man, her heart was filled with shame and anger, she wanted to immediately tell Qin Lie, you're going to pinch me to death, why are you torturing me?

Facing Palaeo- Linger's furious gaze and the direction she was pointing at, Qin Lie finally understood …

"Plop …" Thus, Qin Lie let go of the hand on the cliff and threw Palaeo- Linger to the ground.

"Hu, hu, hu …"

She desperately swallowed and exhaled the air. Only after hovering around the edge of death did she clearly feel the terror of death.

"Tell me everything you know."

Qin Lie's brows were deeply furrowed as he stared at her with a cold expression. He hesitated in his heart about whether or not to remove her later;

After feeling that her breathing had gone smoothly, Palaeo- Linger lifted her head and looked at Qin Lie with a slightly fearful gaze: "Although I don't know about their news, I did hear another piece of news. If I tell you about this news, will you let me go?"

"Speak!" Qin Lie did not deny nor did he agree. It was just that if Palaeo- Linger was lying to him, he would definitely not let her live.

"Our Gu family's mission in this hunt is to cooperate with the House of the Marquis of Grand Desolate to gather information, not to hunt Demon Beast. Thus, I have been hiding in a corner of the forest to observe the activities of various forces."

"An hour after the start of the competition, I saw two women approaching the area. After they received a message from the others, they left for the east."

"What news?" Qin Lie's eyes flickered.

Palaeo- Linger nodded and said, "Someone found an ancient ruin to the east. There are many spirit materials and treasures hidden inside! I don't know the rest. "
