They had a map in hand and came here together, but this man was alone and arrived at the water source before them, which shows how extraordinary he is.
The man noticed their presence and glanced at them, but then looked away and ignored them. Instead, he took out a bamboo tube that he had cut from somewhere, filled it with water, and prepared to continue walking.
Seeing this, Xi San and He Sheng called out to him at the same time: "Brother, wait a moment." The two of them chased after him.
Feng Jiu, who was standing by, looked at the man inconspicuously, with admiration in her eyes. This man was indeed a capable man, he looked to be in his thirties, his clothes were stained with blood, and he held a knife in his hand in a defensive manner, which showed that he had killed someone along the way.
Most of the people sent in by the ghost master were Yuanying cultivators. This man was able to defeat a Yuanying cultivator by himself, which was already a cross-level kill and his explosive power was extraordinary.
"What are you doing?" The man turned around with narrowed eyes, looking frightening with a murderous aura.
Seeing this, Fengjiu couldn't help but reveal a smile. This man's aura was not inferior to the eight Phoenix Guards following her. His murderous aura was revealed naturally, and he was able to shock the opponent without making a move.
I never expected that there were such talented people among those arrested.
"We have dozens of people forming a large team. Brother, do you want to join us? This way, we can have someone to look after us on the road." Xi San invited. Such a person can definitely be recruited.
"No need." The man refused directly, walked away, and disappeared in front of them in a short while.
"I recognize this guy. He's the one who killed someone above his level. He made quite a fuss last time. This guy is a promising prospect. I didn't expect that he not only has good fighting ability, but also has a good sense of direction. He can get here without a map. It shows that he is not simple."
Xi San retracted his gaze, his tone filled with regret. He felt that it was a pity that he could not bring such a person into their team.
Fengjiu didn't say anything, but just listened and watched quietly, then walked back with them. Then she found a place to sit down and listened to Xi San and the others telling everyone about the man they had just met.
"Okay, let's go after we have a rest! It won't be too late to rest after we get out of the forest." Lei Xiao said, and stood up to let everyone set off again. The team quickened their pace and walked forward.
Until the morning of the third day, when they were about to pass through the forest, Fengjiu, who had been like a transparent figure all along the way, stood up.
"I think we can disperse here." The sudden words startled everyone.
"What do you mean?" Xi San asked.
The eyes of fifty or sixty people also fell on Feng Jiu. Obviously, they didn't know what he meant. Or, no one thought deeply about it and didn't guess what those people were thinking when they saw dozens of them appear together.
Feng Jiu glanced at them and said in a neither loud nor soft voice: "I think that since they captured us and wanted to train us as their hidden agents, they definitely don't want us to be too involved. This would make it difficult for them to control us and it would be easy for something to go wrong."
