Chapter 452: Stealing the Crystal Core
"Who?" Si Yun also became alert.
At this time, a woman and six men walked out from a small path.
If Gongzi Heng were here, he would definitely recognize the one woman and three men in this team. They are the four people who showed him the way a few days ago.
The silver sword that just hit Wuming was thrown by the fattest man among the six men.
He stretched out his hand and the silver sword was called back into his palm.
But then, the fat man and another thin man rushed out from their team with weapons.
The target seemed to be the Phantom Water Tiger that was knocked unconscious by Ruan Xihe's talisman.
Ruan Xihe narrowed her eyes slightly, pulled out a red hairband from her sleeve, and tied up all her hair into a high ponytail.
She knew that the other party was not a good person and she couldn't let it go easily.
Seeing that she was about to attack again, Si Yun's mouth twitched.
The other side has two Spirit Emperors and four high-level Spirit Kings. Is there no word "retreat" in her dictionary?
I saw that the two opponents had already jumped to the side of the Phantom Water Tiger.
"Want to snatch something from me?" Ruan Xihe twisted her wrist, chuckled, and two talismans flew out from her fingertips in an instant.
Originally, Huan Shuihu was awakened from his coma by the sudden appearance of this group of people.
But I didn't expect it to just open its eyes.
The next second, there were two more blasting talismans.
Huan Shui Hu was knocked unconscious again, and the two men beside him were blown away together.
On the side, the remaining four people were all stunned.
They didn't expect that the two talismans that Ruan Xihe threw out seemingly casually could be so powerful.
At the moment the two were blown away, Ruan Xihe flashed and disappeared on the spot.
When her figure appeared again, she was already standing in front of Huan Shui Hu, holding a cold and shining Sad Question Knife in her hand.
Si Yun raised an eyebrow.
He could see that, although the dagger in Ruan Xihe's hand was not a divine weapon, it was also extraordinary.
She stabbed a dagger into the Phantom Water Tiger's head.
Phantom Water Tiger woke up again because of the pain, twisting its body and screaming wildly, trying to escape from Ruan Xihe's clutches.
Ruan Xihe used more force and stabbed deeper.
"Thorn-"
"Pfft-"
The sound of flesh being pierced and blood spurting out rang out at the same time.
Phantom Water Tiger made a desperate attempt and used all his strength to ram his head into a thick tree, hoping to kill Ruan Xihe on the tree.
But at the last second before hitting the tree, Ruan Xihe turned his wrist and used a dagger to pick out the water crystal core emitting a faint blue light from the head of the Phantom Water Tiger.
Got the crystal core!
However, she herself was thrown out due to the inertia of the Phantom Water Tiger's head shaking.
Ruan Xihe flew backwards, she landed on her toes and stepped back with her arms outstretched, adding some resistance.
After retreating five meters, his body finally came to a steady stop.
This series of actions was too continuous for anyone to react in time. By the time they reacted, the crystal core was already in Ruan Xihe's hands.
The four people on the side slowly came back to their senses, and the middle-aged woman looked at Ruan Xihe with a meaningful look.
"Did you see the talisman she used just now?"
The other three men shook their heads.
One of the men who was at the level of Spirit Emperor said, "Boss, although I didn't see it clearly, I could feel that the talisman just now was not simple."
"Boss, it seems that there are many talented people in Caesar Forest recently. If we want to obtain the divine beast, I'm afraid it will be a bit..."
At this time, the two people who were blown away slowly crawled up from the ground and returned to the four people.
The obese man looked at the man with the Spiritual Emperor cultivation level who had just spoken with some grievance, "Brother, why are you still speaking up for her and praising her? Not only did she steal the crystal cores from Xiao San and me, she also beat Xiao San and me up."
"That's right." The thin man nodded, agreeing with the fat man.
The man with the cultivation level of a Spiritual Emperor frowned, somewhat hesitant.
"But now, the crystal core is in her hands. We can't take it back..."
"Why not?"
The fat man was a little angry, and the flesh on his face was trembling because of his anger.
"Brother, that was the sacred water beast, the Phantom Water Tiger, that Xiao San and I finally found, but it was snatched away by this little girl who came out of nowhere. How can I not be angry?"
The thin man agreed, "That's right. We are looking for the crystal core for the boss. Wasn't the boss's spiritual vein injured by a high-level holy beast last time? The water crystal core can be used to heal the boss's water spiritual vein. As a result, we finally found one, but it was snatched away by someone else..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the minds of the other people in the team immediately became active.
The boss's spiritual vein was indeed slightly damaged. Although it was not serious, with the help of the crystal core of the water sacred beast, the spiritual vein could indeed be fully restored...
the other side.
After Ruan Xihe got the crystal core, he was not in a hurry to leave.
She never intended to let go of anyone who interfered with her actions or tried to steal her things.
Ruan Xihe's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he walked towards the six people.
But Si Yun stretched out his arm and stopped him.
"You're just going to go there like this?"
"Or else?" She glanced at the six people, sneered, paused, and asked, "Young Master, are you going to persuade me to stop?"
"That's not true."
Si Yun sneered.
"I just want to give you some basic information about the other person's identity before you go over, so that you don't beat him up without knowing his name."
"They are from the Yizhihua Mercenary Group. They were named this because the group consists of only men and only one woman."
Si Yun pointed at the only middle-aged woman among the six people, "That woman is the leader of this mercenary group, codenamed 'One Flower'."
"This mercenary group has always been active in the Caesar Forest area. Not only are they very familiar with the area here, but also the outskirts of the Caesar Forest, there is also their mercenary group's base camp..."
"So if you confront them head-on, your chances of winning are probably not very high. Or if you plan to escape after the fight, you probably won't be able to escape successfully, given their familiarity with the forest routes."
Si Yun gave a pros and cons analysis.
He thought that after his analysis, anyone who was not a fool would not choose to confront the Yizhihua Mercenary Group head-on.
If an ordinary person encountered this situation, they would just pray to God that the Yizhihua Mercenary Group would not come to cause trouble for them. How could they dare to cause trouble for them?
It is said that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.
What's more, the other side has more people and more power.
"Oh." Ruan Xihe nodded, indicating that he understood.
But she showed no sign of leaving and walked forward again with determination.
"......" Si Yun raised his eyebrows, "You're not leaving?"
Sure enough, all her actions were beyond his expectations.
An intriguing smile appeared on Ruan Xihe's lips. Although he was clearly smiling, he felt inexplicably chilly.
"Why are you leaving?"
