Ordinary people can also be extraordinary

Zhang Chen and Sima Feng came to a bush, lifted the branches and weeds covering the area, and a hole as big as a water tank appeared.

"Brother, you go in first."

Zhang Chen pointed at the big hole and Sima Feng went in without hesitation.

Zhang Chen stood outside and looked at Xiaobai who had followed them. He quickly waved his hand. When Xiaobai came to the big hole, Zhang Chen immediately went in. Soon after, Xiaobai also went in. He used his head to carry Zhang Chen and Sima Feng as they quickly went forward.

At this time, the swarm of insects also chased to the cave entrance. Seeing that they did not enter the big hole, a larger insect queen soon came to the cave entrance, and the nearby insects and beasts made way for her.

The insect queen looked at the cave entrance, a look of suspicion appeared on her face, and she immediately ordered several smaller insect beasts around her to rush in. At the same time, the nearby insect swarms began to disperse, and with the cave entrance as the center, they explored the surroundings.

While they were delayed for a while, Zhang Chen and Sima Feng had already come out from the other end of the cave, and immediately ran towards the depths of the forest with Xiaobai and Sima Feng.

He didn't stop until he had run hundreds of miles. Zhang Chen observed the surrounding situation and ran to the treetops to take a look. Only then did he feel relieved.

"It looks like it's safe here. We can take a rest here."

Zhang Chen jumped down from the tree and used the Cloud-Stepping Step to slowly come to Sima Feng.

When Sima Feng heard this, he immediately lay down on the ground and looked relaxed.

"Finally I can have a good rest. You don't know how exhausted I have been these past few days."

Sima Feng was mumbling something to himself, and Zhang Chen noticed that his hands were still shaking unconsciously. After careful examination, he found that this was due to excessive force, which caused serious damage to the muscles in his hands, so he gave him a healing pill.

"What happened to you this time? Why didn't you run away with your fellow disciples? Where are those uncles?"

Zhang Chen asked about the doubts in his mind.

"I get angry when I think of this. Those uncles are really worthless. We were at the front to defend against the enemy, but they actually retreated in public. That's why we were defeated so quickly."

Sima Feng became furious when he thought of this.

"What? Those uncles took the lead in running away?"

Zhang Chen was also very indignant when he heard this.

"Yes, although the situation was critical at the time, we could still resist for a while if we worked together. When support arrived, we might be able to counterattack. Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now."

Sima Feng's face was filled with disappointment and sadness as he thought of the countless soldiers who had died and so many of his fellow disciples who had escaped.

"Now that things have come to this, don't be sad, brother."

Zhang Chen sat next to Sima Feng and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't talk about me, talk about you. What's the matter with Lu Chuan saying that you ran away?"

Sima Feng also sat up and asked.

"He said I ran away?"

Zhang Chen looked puzzled, then said:

"I thought he would say I was dead. Maybe he was afraid that others would suspect him."

Zhang Chen told Sima Feng about his experience.

"That Lu Chuan is such a mean guy. Sooner or later we will have to settle these accounts with him."

Sima Feng looked at Zhang Chen, and Zhang Chen nodded.

"Sooner or later he will pay the price."

At this time, Xiaobai swam to the two of them and sat cross-legged.

Sima Feng looked at Xiao Bai who was sitting cross-legged beside him, and said to Zhang Chen:

"Is this the pet you adopted? It's quite big."

Sima Feng then carefully observed Xiaobai with surprise in his eyes.

"It saved my life, and now it is my life-saving brother."

Zhang Chen looked at Xiaobai and said calmly.

"How strong is it? It just looks scary."

Sima Feng asked again. Xiaobai understood what he said, stood up and swam towards Sima Feng.

"Hey, I'll compete with you again after I've rested."

Sima Feng saw Xiaobai swimming towards him and looked at him provocatively. At this moment, his hands were sore and he couldn't exert any strength at all. He was definitely no match for Xiaobai.

"Xiao Bai, when he recovers, I will let him compete with you. I will let him know how powerful you are and that he is far from being your opponent in terms of strength."

Zhang Chen said to Xiaobai lovingly.

Seeing this, Xiaobai swam back and looked back at Sima Feng a few times.

"You are a very intelligent brother. You can understand what I say."

Sima Feng said quietly to Zhang Chen.

"Of course. I think the Qi Condensation Level 8 is no match for him."

Zhang Chen estimated Xiaobai's strength. Xiaobai was very strong and flexible, but his body was too big, so he was a big target. The defense of his scales could not stop the attack of the spiritual sword. He would probably suffer a loss if fighting against a cultivator above the eighth level of Qi Condensation.

"not bad."

Sima Feng looked at Xiaobai with burning eyes, it seemed that he treated it as a training object.

"By the way, what should we do now? Should we go look for a sect?"

Sima Feng asked again.

"Forget it. Even if we find it, we will still be assigned to the front line to defend against the insect swarm. Instead of that, we might as well go treasure hunting while the sect thinks we are all dead."

Zhang Chen sneered and said lightly.

"Treasure hunt? Where to find treasure?"

Sima Feng became curious.

"Do you still remember what the prince said to us in Daliang City?"

"Are you talking about the spirit stone mine?"

Sima Feng immediately understood.

"Correct."

Zhang Chen took out a map and placed it in front of Sima Feng.

Sima Feng took the map and took a look at it.

"Youshui County, Daxi Town, is this where we are going?

Sima Feng looked at the address on the map and turned to Zhang Chen and said.

"Yes, if this spiritual mine is real and has abundant reserves, there is no need for us to return to the sect."

Zhang Chen said calmly that the sect didn't value him, so he didn't have such a strong desire to return to the sect. In addition, he had offended Xiao Yi, which was equivalent to offending the lineage of the Great Elder. He would be in greater danger in the sect. Zhang Chen thought of Lu Zhi in Hanyuan, and it would be even more difficult for him to go back.

"Then when do we set off?"

Sima Feng asked again.

"Tomorrow, get some rest tonight."

As soon as Zhang Chen finished speaking, Sima Feng fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep. He had been fighting the insect swarms on the city wall every day these past few days, which had consumed a lot of his physical strength and made him exhausted. Now that he relaxed, he immediately felt sleepiness coming over him and he couldn't stop it, so he fell asleep.

Looking at Sima Feng who was already snoring, Zhang Chen shook his head, smiled bitterly, then sat down cross-legged to the side and began to meditate.

Soon it was dawn the next day. As Sima Feng stretched and sat up from the ground, Zhang Chen also opened his eyes.

Then the two began to walk towards Youshui County, trying to take remote mountain roads along the way to avoid being discovered. After walking for almost half a month, they finally arrived in Youshui County. Zhang Chen looked at the location on the map. It was less than 800 miles away from Daliang City, and Daxi Town was only 300 miles away from Daliang City.

So he and Sima Feng walked for another five days and finally arrived at Daxi Town. Since the insect swarm in this county had retreated, Zhang Chen felt more at ease and the journey was very smooth.
