Chapter 1209 Competing for the Retreat Point
On the way, Xiao Chen and his party also passed through a few retreat points, but outside the retreat point, the disciples of other sects who were teleported in earlier had already scrambled into a group fiercely, and fought violently. Extremely intense.
After all, no one wants to take unnecessary risks. Since they can find a suitable retreat point nearby, everyone is naturally unwilling to look for it elsewhere. Who knows if something terrible will suddenly appear on the road?
Xiao Chen casually glanced at the crowd in the scuffle, and attracted all kinds of vigilant eyes. He shook his head, and led the crowd to continue walking forward.
"There are so many people here, even if we try to grab them, we probably won't be able to grab a few of them. Instead, it would be a waste of energy. We might as well go a little farther and have a look." Xiao Chen explained to the people behind him as he walked, "If we can find them, we can find them again." Even if the retreat points farther away are not completely empty, the competition may not be so fierce, and we still have a chance to win."
Of course, the others would not have any opinions, and obediently followed Xiao Chen to explore the distance.
Although everyone knows very well that this exploration process is somewhat risky, but it is much better than the scuffle situation. No one wants to stay. They just want to find the retreat point smoothly and succeed. It's enough to be promoted to Venerable.
Everyone explored in silence for an incense stick of time. Although they found several retreat points along the way, it was a pity that they were either preempted by someone first, or they were abandoned retreat points that could no longer be used.
And as long as you look up, you can vaguely see a lot of people in front of you. If this goes on, even if you are lucky and can find other retreat points, it will definitely not be up to Xiao Chen and others to catch them!
After all, there are more wolves than meat, and everyone wants to break through the Venerable as soon as possible, so it is inevitable that there will be another fight in the end.
"Husband Xiao Chen, there are too many monks here, right? When Sister Suan Suan was outside, she didn't seem to see so many people? How come there are more monks inside? Could it be that they are Did you sneak in?" Seeing the blurred figures clustered together in the mist not far away, Tian Suansu couldn't help complaining angrily.
She thought that after she came in, it would be easy to find a retreat point to practice, but she didn't expect that she had been groping for a long time, but she couldn't even grab a retreat point!
"That's not true. It should be because there were a lot of people staying inside before, so it was so crowded." Xiao Chen made a correct judgment.
"Then what should we do? It's almost dark today, if we can't find a retreat point, it will be even more difficult until tomorrow." Jamsen frowned slightly.
Xiao Chen looked around, pointed to a small path and said: "If we continue to walk along the main road, I think it will be too much, so let's go around a little bit and try the small path, maybe we can find something new ? It’s not like always following other people’s butts to eat ashes.”
"Take the path?" Cheng Mengying looked at the dark and misty road, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart, but she couldn't explain what was going on.
"What's the matter, Mengying? Don't you want to take the path?" Seeing Cheng Mengying's expression of hesitation, Xiao Chen thought she was afraid of taking the path, and asked with concern.
Cheng Mengying hesitated for a moment, then waved her hands and said, "Forget it, just do as you say! Miss Ben doesn't want to mess with those stinky men either!"
The others naturally had no objection either, since Xiao Chen led the team, there would definitely be no problem, and although the path looked a bit gloomy, there were indeed very few people, so maybe they could find another way to find the treasure!
Stepping on the muddy and rugged remote road and walking forward for a while, Xiao Chen soon discovered that there were already many footprints on the ground, and it seemed that someone had already passed by here.
However, Xiao Chen didn't care, and still led everyone forward, because according to the number of footprints, he judged that there should not be many people walking in this direction. After all, everyone was scared by Qiu Wanqian before, and they were not very willing. Taking risks, it is safer to take the road by default.
Soon, Xiao Chen's proposal was rewarded, everyone finally found a vacant retreat point, and they were overjoyed, eager to try, and wanted to run over immediately.
"Wait!" Just as they were getting closer to the retreat point, Xiao Chen suddenly stopped, made a silence gesture, and then turned around and hid in a bush with everyone.
"What's wrong? What happened..." Cheng Mengying quickly lowered her voice and asked, but before she finished asking, she heard the sound of chaotic footsteps coming from different directions, approaching quickly.
Everyone tensed up, thinking they were coming towards their own group of people, and after listening intently for a while as if facing a big enemy, they finally judged that there should be two teams of people coming from two different directions. And the target is this vacant retreat point, it seems that everyone wants to come and fight for it.
After everyone hid their figures, they quietly raised their heads and looked out from the grass. They saw a group of people from the east wearing gray clothes. There were about 30 people in the group, while the group from the west was wearing red clothes. There are only a dozen or so monks. In comparison, the opening momentum is obviously weaker.
At this time, Ling'er's eyes suddenly lit up, she pulled Xiao Chen's sleeve, pointed to one of the troops and said, "Xiao Chen, look quickly, the people in red clothes over there are all from our Yinyun faction. The long-haired man in the lead is my senior brother Yu Lei! I also know the one in the gray clothes on the other side, he is from the Liuhe sect, and the old man with white hair and youthful face is named Tong Yizun, and he is the elder of their sect!"
Ling'er's little hands tightly clutched Xiao Chen's clothes, she was a little emotional, she didn't meet the people from Yinyun Sect outside before, unexpectedly she would meet them here instead!
But now she also doesn't dare to show up, after all, she followed Xiao Chen secretly, and has not been recognized by the sect, or in other words, the sect no longer takes her seriously...
"Don't be too nervous, let's see the situation first, I guess these two sects will fight." Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows, patted Ling'er's little hand and said.
"Ah?! No way? I remember that Yinyun faction and Liuhe faction have a good relationship! How could it be possible to fight each other for a retreat point? Isn't there a lot of free retreat points here? "Ling'er felt a little strange about Xiao Chen's statement.
"What's so hard to understand." Xiao Chen sneered, looked at the situation outside, and explained in a low voice: "There are indeed many retreat points in the Venerable Secret Realm, but according to the few times we encountered before Judging from the situation, even sects with a very harmonious and close relationship will still fight for the retreat point, there is no reason at all!"
