Chapter 56 Taking advantage of the situation

At this moment, Pingfan looked at the sharp stingers coming from the snakes and scorpions, but did not dodge.

Instead, he raised his palm and, just as the spikes were about to pierce his body, gently grabbed them, catching the incoming spikes.

The scorpion, upon seeing this human, so easily seized its prized weapon.

Instantly, the scorpion's newly awakened intelligence also realized that the human in front of it was no ordinary person.

However, the intelligence that the serpent and scorpion have awakened is only in its initial stage.

"roar~"

After a moment of stunned silence, it roared again and launched a fierce attack on Pingfan.

Pingfan didn't pay much attention to the berserk scorpion; he simply threw a punch and repelled all its attacks.

Suddenly, Pingfan realized that this must be a scheme devised against him by Xie Yuan and his group of five.

The plan is to use this third-tier demonic beast to eliminate him, and then search for the treasures on his body after the beast leaves.

Thinking of this, Pingfan curled the corners of his mouth into a wicked smile.

"Since you want to use this monster, then I'll play along."

After saying that, Pingfan dodged the attacks of the snakes and scorpions while knocking down the trees.

It looked as if they had just been through a major battle.

After dodging the scorpion's attacks again, Pingfan felt that the time was almost up, so before the scorpion's next attack came, he punched its huge body.

"roar~"

The dull thuds of flesh colliding and the screams of snakes and scorpions echoed in the area.

The serpent, writhing in pain, looked at the spot where it had been struck by the ordinary blow; a bloody fist-shaped crater appeared beneath its thick scales.

It was at this moment that the scorpion's not-so-bright intelligence realized that the human in front of it was simply beyond its ability to deal with.

"roar~"

At that moment, the scorpion roared and turned to crawl quickly towards the valley.

Upon seeing the snakes and scorpions returning to their lair, Pingfan did not pursue them. Instead, he looked at the chaotic scene before him, frowned, and thought to himself.

How can I make them see that I am already dead?

In an instant, Pingfan thought of a solution. Looking at the large, fallen tree beside him, he slowly walked over.

Meanwhile, Xie Yuan and his group of five, who were constantly watching the movements of the snake and scorpion, finished their work after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

The scorpion hissed twice and then headed into the valley without looking back.

However, Xie Yuan and his group of five frowned slightly, their faces showing a hint of doubt.

The gray-robed man glanced at the departing figure of the snake and scorpion, then looked at Xie Yuan and frowned as he spoke.

"Brother, something seems strange. Of the last two sounds the scorpion made when it left, the first one clearly sounded like a scream."

Upon hearing this, the other three also looked at Xie Yuan, their expressions mirroring those of the gray-robed man.

Seeing that all four of them were looking at him, Xie Yuan looked deeply at the place where the snake and scorpion had just fought, and slowly said.

"It must have been that man's furious attack before he died that caused the serpent to feel pain. Upon seeing the man's death, the serpent hissed angrily and turned back."

Hearing Xie Yuan's analysis, the four of them still had some doubts, but they also felt that his analysis was correct.

Xie Yuan withdrew his gaze from the spot where the snake and scorpion had fought, looked at the four people, and said hesitantly.

"Regardless, let's go and see what happens. If we find something is wrong, we'll fly away immediately. How can a body cultivator like him catch up with us?"

Hearing Xie Yuan say this, the four of them nodded slightly, then smiled and laughed.

"Big brother is right. How could a body cultivator possibly wield the void like a cultivator?"

"That's right, even if that kid isn't dead, he's probably not far from it."

"I'll listen to my older brother; whatever he says goes."

……

All four of them chimed in, and even Xiao Wu, who usually disagreed, surprisingly said that he would listen to his elder brother.

Seeing that none of the four had any objections, Xie Yuan led them cautiously toward that place.

A moment later, Xie Yuan and his group of five arrived above the place where the fight had just taken place. Looking at the scene below that had been destroyed beyond recognition, all five of them breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Then all five of them scanned the battlefield, searching for the ordinary figure.

When they saw Pingfan being crushed by a large tree, they couldn't help but gasp in shock.

All that could be seen was Pingfan, covered in blood, pinned down by a thick tree, motionless.

Upon seeing this, Xie Yuan gestured for the four to land, then slowly approached the ordinary corpse.

After Xie Yuan and his group of five walked to the side of Pingfan's corpse, looking at the lifeless Pingfan, cold smiles appeared on their faces.

Xie Yuan did not immediately search Pingfan's body, but waited a while longer, seeing that Pingfan still did not move.

Then he looked at the four of them, his face full of a triumphant smile, and said.

"He's clearly dead. Now we can search him."

Upon hearing that they could finally search the body, all four of them revealed greedy expressions. Then, Xiao Wu quickly squatted down and began to grope the ordinary corpse.

Upon seeing Xiao Wu's actions, the three cursed under their breath and watched him grope the ordinary corpse.

Xie Yuan noticed the expressions on the three people's faces but didn't pay them any mind.

Although they are sworn brothers, Xie Yuan would not hesitate to abandon them and run away alone if there were a conflict of interest.

It's not that he's cold-blooded or heartless, but rather that this is simply how the world is, and as a rogue cultivator, one's temperament is naturally more detached.

After a long while, Xiao Wu searched the ordinary corpse for a long time, but found nothing.

Suddenly, his lips twitched slightly, and he stood up, speaking slowly.

"This person doesn't possess any treasures."

Upon hearing his words, the four of them were stunned, and then looked at Xie Yuan in confusion, as if asking what was going on.

Seeing the four people's expressions, Xie Yuan's lips twitched. He pushed Xiao Wu aside, squatted down, and began to grope the ordinary corpse.

However, Xie Yuan searched every part of Pingfan's body but found nothing.

This was hard for Xie Yuan to accept, and he kept muttering to himself.

"How could this be?"

Seeing Xie Yuan like this, Xiao Wu pouted and said with a dejected look.

"I was hoping to see what treasures such a magnificent celestial phenomenon might contain, but instead I've fallen into a trap."

Upon hearing his words, the other three glared at him fiercely, indicating that he was the one who talked too much.

Xiao Wu was glared at by the three of them, but he ignored it and said with dissatisfaction.

Why are you glaring at me? Did I say something wrong?

Upon hearing that he still dared to provoke Xie Yuan, the three of them helplessly rubbed their foreheads and fell silent.

Xie Yuan, who was squatting, slowly stood up, looked at Xiao Wu, and a smile slowly appeared on his face as he spoke.

"Xiao Wu is right. It was my fault as the eldest brother for not judging this person well, causing us to waste our time on him."

Seeing Xie Yuan say this, Xiao Wu snorted coldly, but did not continue to complain.

Just as Xie Yuan was about to leave with the four of them, he heard a loud bang, and then felt a chill on his neck as a hand pressed against it.

"What? You want to leave already?"
