Digging up spiritual roots and seizing blood? You scumbags, wait and tremble.

After hearing this, Zhong Ran began to sense the earth with all his heart.

Even Zhong Yan, after hearing his words, subconsciously sensed the ground.

However, the other party did not give them that opportunity.

Not far in front of them, several black shadows suddenly rose into the sky, and long swords shining with cold light stabbed towards them.

He could not sense any aura from them. If it were not for Mu Jinning's powerful soul power, he would have been killed by them.

As they flew up, a handful of steel balls appeared in Zhong Ran's hand and he threw them out quickly.

At the same time, she reached out and pushed Ah Sheng, pushing him to the side, and yelled, "Xiao Yan, Ah Sheng, be careful."

She wasn't actually that worried about Zhong Yan.

He has been practicing cultivation now, and ordinary people cannot get close to him, even with weapons. Unless it is a long-range weapon like an arrow, it may be possible to hurt him.

Judging from the way these people are dressed, they should be Shadow Killers.

Unexpectedly, it has only been a few days since the last Shadow Killer failed, and the second group of people appeared so soon.

A long sword also appeared in her hand, and she fought with two of them.

The senior brother told her to accumulate more combat experience.

Her fire might be very useful in this world, but it might not be the case after she returns to Fengming Continent.

Therefore, she needs to accumulate combat experience.

Mu Jinning has already rushed out. He has better combat experience than Zhong Ran and is more agile in charging.

Zhong Yan was not willing to fall behind. Although he had no weapons, he always seized the opportunity to rush to the enemy and then use his devouring power.

Ah Sheng looked at him stupidly. Zhong Ran didn't let him hit anyone, so he just stood there not knowing what to do.

He would only fight back if someone attacked him, otherwise he would just stand by and watch.

Soon, the road was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the ground was littered with corpses and mummies, at least forty or fifty people.

Until the end of the battle, Zhong Ran looked at the corpses on the ground with a dull expression.

"These should be Shadow Killers. I'm afraid they will continue to follow us."

Mu Jinning said calmly: "It's okay, if we have the chance we will destroy their nests."

The only way to escape being hunted down is to wipe them out completely.

Zhong Ran didn't care. If she met him, she would just let it go. If she didn't meet him, she wouldn't bother to take it to heart.

"Let's go over there and head into the mountains. It would be nice to look around."

When she said this, she looked at Asheng.

She found that Ah Sheng was a big eater, which might be related to his race and bloodline.

Once you enter the mountains, you can hunt prey at any time and roast it for food.

"Okay." Mu Jinning also glanced at Ah Sheng and said to Zhong Yan, "Xiao Yan, are you okay?"

He was silent the whole way, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"It's okay." Zhong Yan responded softly, but it was obvious that he was not in a good mood.

Zhong Ran frowned and looked at his expression: "Xiao Yan, are you injured?"

He replied sullenly, "No."

It was just because Ah Sheng was following him around and stealing his sister's attention, which made him feel unhappy.

It’s bad enough that Mu Jinning is competing with him for his sister, but now there’s Ah Sheng.

However, he didn't want his sister to know these little thoughts, for fear that she would dislike him.

Zhong Ran knew that this boy had something on his mind, but he didn't want to talk about it. She didn't ask any further questions and planned to have a good chat with him later when she had time.

"Let's go into the mountains, maybe we can come across a small spiritual vein."

She did not forget that Xiao Ding said that if he had a spiritual vein, he would be able to recover faster.

She sent out sparks, burning the bodies, and then walked towards the mountains.

There are dense forests on the mountain, and they are quite far away from the capital. There are usually few people going into the mountain, and there is only one small path.

Mu Jinning walked in front to lead the way, Zhong Ran followed behind him, and behind them were Zhong Yan and A Sheng.

A Sheng was far behind. He didn't like the little brother in front of him. He felt very uncomfortable about him.

Moreover, he still remembered that he had touched this little brother and then passed out.

The four of them reached halfway up the mountain, and Mu Jinning stopped again.

Just as he stopped vigilantly, the sound of an arrow breaking through the air was heard in front of him.

Moreover, these were no longer iron arrows like the ones in the hands of the city guards, but wooden arrows.

Arrows flew through the air at an extremely fast speed.

Mu Jinning swung the long sword in his hand repeatedly to block the arrows from approaching.

Fortunately, he was alert and had not yet entered the encirclement, otherwise he would have been in trouble with arrows from all directions.

"Xiao Yan, where are you going?" Zhong Ran was looking around, thinking about how to break through. He noticed that Zhong Yan suddenly jumped up and jumped to the side, so he quickly called him.

"Sister, I'll be back soon." Zhong Yan left very quickly, leaving only a sound behind.

Zhong Ran was worried about him and looked ahead with a cold look in his eyes.

No matter who it is, if they want them dead, then let them die first.

Just as she was about to release flames to burn the area to the ground, she felt a devouring force coming from the front.

Realizing Zhong Yan's behavior, she quickly pulled Mu Jinning and A Sheng back.

Some of the arrows changed direction when Zhong Yan left, but the density was not as high as that of Mu Jinning and his team.

When they noticed that Mu Jinning and the others had left and were about to chase them, they felt something different.

Then, one by one, they fell powerlessly from the trees where they were hiding, and when they landed on the ground, they had turned into corpses.

Zhong Yan came back quickly and said softly, "Sister, let's go."

Zhong Ran looked at his brother like this and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Sister, what's wrong?" Seeing his sister staring at him, Zhong Yan felt inexplicably frightened.

"Xiao Yan is able to protect his sister." She reached out to rub his head, but he was a head taller than her, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

Zhong Yan smiled, lowered his head and moved closer to her, letting her rub his head.

"Sister, I will work hard to become stronger and protect you in the future."

Ah Sheng also said beside him: "Sister, I will protect you from now on."

Zhong Yan's face darkened. Why did this kid always argue with him about everything?

Zhong Ran happened to see the change in his expression, was stunned for a moment and then smiled helplessly.

"You silly child, you are my sister's only relative in this world. No one can replace you. Do you understand?"

Zhong Yan suddenly grinned: "Sister, I understand."

"Let's go. We have to be careful from now on. I'm afraid the journey won't be peaceful."

"Brother, guess who these people are?"

Mu Jinning just walked over to observe the corpses and guessed their origins from their clothes.

"These people are not killers, but forces in the capital."

As for which forces sent them, he couldn't guess any more for the moment.

It was the people sent from the capital who knew that he had such means, so they replaced the arrows with wooden arrows.

"Never mind, let's keep going."
