Mortal Bones

"Thank you, Miss Yuzhu."

Xu Taiping was not polite and immediately sat down cross-legged.

"Master!"

"Young master, are you okay?"

At this time, Nan Xing, Mr. Zhang and Zhai Mo also came to Xu Taiping.

And behind them were the group of refugees who had previously hid in the stone castle.

"I'm fine."

Xu Taiping shook his head, then looked at Zhang Laodao:

"Mr. Zhang, how long has it been since the rats dispersed?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhang immediately took out a lit stick of incense from his sleeve, then handed it to Xu Taiping and said:

"Sir, this incense has just been lit, only a few moments have passed."

When Xu Taiping heard this, the tense expression on his face relaxed a little. Then he looked at Gongshu Nanxing and Zhai Mo and said:

"Within a cup of tea at most, the third wave of hunting is coming. This time we have to escape to the north."

"Escape to the north?"

Hearing this, Zhai Mo pointed in the direction of the west exit with some surprise:

"But Young Master, we are now less than a mile or two away from the west exit. If you have quick feet, we can reach it in a cup of tea!"

"Yes, sir, the exit is right in front of you, why do you want to escape to the north?"

Gongshu Nanxing also looked puzzled.

They did trust Xu Taiping, but not to the point of blindly following him.

On the other hand, Gu Qingcheng, who had often opposed Xu Taiping, was uncharacteristically silent at this time, just silently calculating something with his hands.

"The specific reason cannot be disclosed at the moment."

Xu Taiping shook his head helplessly.

Everything Liantong foresees must not be disclosed to others before it happens.

"Well, since you, Master, are so sure that the way to survive is in the north, we will just go north later."

"I also listen to Young Master."

Without hesitation for too long, Nan Xing, Zhai Mo and the others agreed with Xu Taiping's decision.

Seeing this, Xu Taiping breathed a sigh of relief.

"Heroes, do you really want to go north?"

"You can't go to the north, my hero. Not only are the mountain roads there rugged, but there are also many monsters in the forest that are no weaker than giant rats."

"Why go north when the exit is right in front of you?"

At this time, the refugees behind Zhai Mo and the others suddenly started shouting.

"Heroes, we came from the north before. There was nothing there but a ruined temple."

A refugee dressed as a practitioner stepped forward and persuaded Xu Taiping sincerely.

"Everyone, if you want to believe me, come with me later."

Xu Taiping glanced at the refugees with a serious face, then looked towards the west exit of the mountain forest and said:

"If you don't believe it, you can go west."

He is not a Bodhisattva and does not have the heart to save all sentient beings.

After hearing this, a group of refugees began to talk, and many began to hesitate.

For these refugees, the exit to the west is an easy way out, but they have also seen the skills of Xu Taiping and his group. If they encounter monsters again, it will naturally be safer to follow Xu Taiping and his group.

"If you want to believe in this knight, please stay. If you want to go to the west exit together, follow me!"

The refugee dressed as a monk seemed to be unwilling to wait any longer. He immediately raised his hand to Xu Taiping and then rushed westward with several refugees behind him.

It can be seen that before meeting Xu Taiping and his party, he was the leader of this group of refugees.

"Taoist Master, wait, we will go with you!"

"Taoist Master, let's go together!"

Seeing this, the group of refugees who were originally hesitant began to chase the monk.

In just a short moment, the refugees who were originally standing behind Zhai Mo and the others all followed the monk and flew towards the west of the mountain forest.

"They didn't even say thank you, they were just a bunch of white-eyed wolves."

Zhai Mo rolled his eyes at the group of people.

Xu Taiping disagreed with this.

After all, he has said everything he can, and how they choose is their own business.

"Mr. Rusty Lion, if that west side is really not a way of life but a way of death as you said, then wouldn't it be that we saved these people before in vain?"

Gu Qingcheng suddenly asked Xu Taiping with a smile.

"I am willing to save them, but I am just doing what I want. What does it have to do with them?"

Xu Taiping asked rhetorically.

Gu Qingcheng was stunned for a moment when asked, then respectfully raised her hands and said:

"Been taught a lesson."

"Miss Qingcheng is serious."

Seeing Gu Qingcheng being so serious, Xu Taiping felt a little embarrassed and immediately waved his hands.

"Brother, they don't believe you, I believe you!"

At this time, a clear girl's voice suddenly came from behind Xu Taiping.

Turning around, he found that the person speaking was the little girl with braids that he had rescued earlier.

"Hero, I believe you too, let's go with you."

The young man who was holding the little girl's hand tightly said to Xu Taiping with a firm look.

Hearing this, Xu Taiping's heart felt inexplicably warm.

"good."

Then he nodded, smiled, reached out and patted the little girl with braids on the head and said:

"I will take you brothers and sisters out safely."

At this moment, Ta Ling's voice sounded in Xu Taiping's mind——

"Congratulations, Mr. Rusty Lion. You will receive an additional reward from the Xuanhuang Tower for saving the homeless people and the brother and sister."

"First, the cultivation level is improved to the Great Perfection, and the power of the first sword domain is released."

"Second, you can choose a treasure that you have used in the outside world, and the grade is limited to spiritual treasures."

"Third, you can choose a magic skill or treasure that you have used before, regardless of the grade."

After listening to the tower spirit's words, Xu Taiping was immediately delighted and said:

"Not only does it unlock my sword domain power, but it also allows me to freely choose treasures and magic skills that I have used before, so I can choose a lot of things."
