The next day, Pingfan opened his eyes, stretched, and walked towards the fire not far away.

Xie Yuan smiled as he saw Ping Fan approaching.

"Brother Fan, you're awake? Did you sleep well last night?"

Pingfan walked to the fire and sat down, looking at Xie Yuan with a smile, and said.

"It's alright, I've gotten used to this environment."

Upon hearing the ordinary answer, Xie Yuan looked towards the northeast and said softly.

"At our current speed, it will take us another three days to reach Fengyan City."

At this point, Xie Yuan turned his gaze back to Pingfan and smiled.

"If Brother Fan had a flying artifact, we could reach Fengyan City in just one day."

Upon hearing this, Pingfan gave a wry smile and said helplessly.

"Brother Xie knows that I am a body cultivator, so how could I possibly possess a cultivator's magic weapon?"

Seeing Pingfan say this, Xie Yuan quickly waved his hand and said apologetically.

"Brother Fan, please don't take offense; I was just expressing my feelings."

After saying that, Xie Yuan woke up the four people who were meditating with their eyes closed and spoke to Pingfan.

"Brother Fan, let's set off now and try to reach Fengyan City as soon as possible."

The four who had woken up did not refute Xie Yuan's words. They straightened their robes and prepared to set off.

Seeing this, Pingfan also stood up, smiled apologetically at the four of them, and said.

"I'm so sorry, if I hadn't been in the group, you would probably be almost at Fengyan City by now."

Upon hearing Pingfan's words, the four of them quickly waved their hands, saying it was nothing.

After Xie Yuan's analysis last night, they are now eager to arrive in Fengyan City later, so that they will have a chance to make a move against Pingfan.

Why didn't they take the opportunity to ambush Pingfan last night while he was resting?

This is actually quite understandable. After all, they had only known Pingfan for a short time, so they were bound to be wary of him.

If their sneak attack last night hadn't succeeded, wouldn't they have alerted the enemy?

While still on their journey, they took Pingfan to a place inhabited by monsters.

Then, we'll take the opportunity to ambush Pingfan and kill him.

Moreover, it was only through the combined efforts of the five of them that they were able to kill that monster.

In this way, they can obtain the treasures from Pingfan without much effort.

Seeing that none of the four cared, Pingfan didn't say anything more. He turned to Xie Yuan and said softly.

"Thank you, Brother Xie. Let's set off now for Fengyan City."

Xie Yuan did not hesitate. After hearing Pingfan's words, he called the group to set off.

However, since they were physical cultivators, they could only travel on foot.

Fortunately, Pingfan didn't feel tired, so the group's pace wasn't too slow.

Relatively speaking, the speed at which the group traveled was comparable to that of a high-speed train in the world before they traveled through time.

After a while, when Pingfan followed Xie Yuan and the other four to a valley, they stopped.

Xie Yuan looked solemnly into the valley and spoke cautiously.

"This is the habitat of a third-tier demonic beast, a snake and scorpion. We should be careful when we pass by later and not disturb it."

Hearing Xie Yuan's instructions, the four of them nodded cautiously.

Upon hearing that it was a third-tier demonic beast, Pingfan sneered inwardly, but showed no emotion on his face, and nodded along with the other four.

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Xie Yuan looked at the valley again before walking towards a spot to the side of the valley.

Seeing this, the others quickly followed.

However, just as Pingfan and his companions arrived at the edge of the valley, a roar echoed from within.

"roar~"

Upon hearing the roar, Xie Yuan's expression changed, and he hurriedly said...

"Oh no, this monster has spotted us!"

Upon hearing Xie Yuan's words, the four men's expressions changed, and they all looked at Xie Yuan, awaiting his instructions.

But Pingfan, standing to the side, didn't show any signs of nervousness; instead, he appeared quite casual.

After Xie Yuan finished speaking, he noticed Pingfan's expression, frowned slightly, and asked.

"Brother Fan, don't think that just because you're a body cultivator, you can disregard snakes and scorpions."

Upon hearing Xie Yuan's words, the four of them frowned and looked at Pingfan, though they were secretly plotting something.

Seeing that Pingfan remained unmoved, Xie Yuan slowly explained the power of the scorpion, allowing Pingfan to understand the monster's strength.

"A scorpion is a creature with the body and head of a snake, but the tail of a scorpion, with a sharp, venomous stinger on its tail."

"Furthermore, the spikes on the scorpion's tail are extremely sharp, capable of piercing any hard object. Even body cultivators of the same level cannot withstand its spikes."

After saying that, Xie Yuan stared intently at Pingfan, wanting to see his reaction.

After listening to Xie Yuan's description of the snake and scorpion, Pingfan was slightly taken aback, thinking to himself.

"A combination of a snake and a scorpion? What would that look like?"

Looking at the ordinary Xie Yuan, and noticing his stunned expression, Xie Yuan assumed he was afraid and slowly said...

"Although snakes and scorpions are formidable, as long as we avoid direct combat, it's still easy to escape."

After saying that, Xie Yuan gave Xiao Wu a wink when Ping Fan wasn't paying attention, and then led Ping Fan and the others away.

"roar~"

Just as Xie Yuan and the others left the mountains surrounding the valley, the snakes and scorpions in the valley seemed to be provoked, roared, and rushed towards them.

In the blink of an eye, the venomous snake appeared behind them, constantly closing the distance between them.

Upon witnessing this scene, Xie Yuan and the other four looked troubled, then flew into the air and quickly retreated.

After Xie Yuan and the other four disappeared into the void, only Pingfan remained on the ground below, still running.

However, after seeing Xie Yuan and the other four fly away, Pingfan stopped and turned to look at the pursuing snakes and scorpions.

A giant snake, thirty meters long and ten meters tall, with a hooked, spiked tail, charged angrily toward Pingfan.

A moment later, the scorpion arrived in front of Pingfan, swung its tail, and stabbed at him.

After seeing the snake and scorpion stop, Xie Yuan and his group of five, who had flown far away, launched an attack and slowly stopped flying.

The man called Xiao Wu glanced at the snake and scorpion in the distance and said softly.

"Big brother, when are we going over?"

Upon hearing his words, Xie Yuan waved his hand and chuckled.

"No rush, we'll go over there after the scorpion kills him."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu's face revealed a sinister smile, and he laughed.

"My elder brother is truly brilliant, letting me use magic to secretly provoke the serpent."

Upon hearing his words, Xie Yuan looked at him and said with admiration.

"You did a great job too; you didn't let that person notice anything amiss."

Praised by Xie Yuan, Xiao Wu smiled broadly, pursed his lips, and said...

"How could a body cultivator like him detect spiritual energy?"
