Chapter 497 Sneak Attack

"Qingtong, you thief..."

Long Chong cursed angrily, but he didn't care about fighting back, trying his best to control his body that was knocked flying.

But the opponent's attack was a bit strange. A sinister force invaded his body, which caused his magic power to sluggish. He couldn't control his body for a while and could only watch himself crash into the magma column.

What's worse is that a fire crocodile suddenly emerged from the magma column. It seemed that it was swept up to the sky by the underground magma and was panicking.

Seeing Long Chong rushing over, the fire crocodile opened its bloody mouth and bit towards his waist.

The two were very close and Long Chong's magic power was out of control. He was about to be bitten in two.

At the critical moment, a cold light flew out of his body, but it was Long Chong's cold dragon spirit beast that rushed out and blocked him.

"Han'er, get out of the way!" Long Chong saw this and shouted anxiously.

However, the cold dragon, who was determined to protect his master, did not hesitate at all and collided with the fire crocodile.

The fire crocodile bit down with its huge mouth, and its sharp crocodile teeth pierced the scales of the cold dragon and bit its neck fiercely.

The broken scales were splashed with blue blood. The cold dragon screamed miserably, but did not dodge. Its sharp claws grabbed the fire crocodile and held it tightly to prevent it from hurting its master behind it.

The cold air overflowing from the cold dragon collided with the hot breath of the magma, and a large amount of mist rose.

The next moment, Long Chong hit the cold dragon, then stopped and immediately flew over to rescue it.

He put his foot on the back of the cold dragon, and regardless of the delay in his magic power, he forced the spear to pierce the head of the fire crocodile.

However, his magic power was limited at the moment, and the fire crocodile happened to have thick skin and flesh. With one stab, he only pierced some scales and armor, and did not cause much damage at all.

The fire crocodile felt pain and rolled over, biting the cold dragon and dragging it into the magma column.

Half of the cold dragon's body was immersed in the hot magma, and its fine scales were burned red.

Just as the dragon was about to be completely submerged in the magma column, a flash of lightning suddenly burst out from the mist.

In the "sizzling" electric current, the figures of Yuan Ming and Lei Yu emerged.

Lei Yu used his lightning magic, and a thick lightning struck the fire crocodile's head.

The dazzling arc spread and jumped on the fire crocodile, and the crocodile's body spasmed, and the big mouth that bit the cold dragon suddenly loosened.

Long Chong was overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled the cold dragon with force, flying away.

Yuan Ming pointed his finger, and a white cold light hit the fire crocodile.

With a light "click", the fire crocodile's body was frozen into an ice stick.

Yuan Ming shook his hand and shot out a bloody light, which wrapped up the fire crocodile and put it into the Shura Bloodthirsty Diagram. He rode the thunderstorm and chased Long Chong, and soon caught up with him.

At this time, Qiongyun had just arrived and summoned the Thunder Dragon spirit beast, carrying Long Chong to escape outside.

The cold dragon spirit beast disappeared, and it seemed to have been put into the spirit beast bag.

"Brother Yuan, are you safe? That's great!" Qiongyun saw Yuan Ming and showed joy.

"I was lucky to escape with my life. This place is not safe. Let's escape first." Yuan Ming said, controlling the thunderstorm to fly forward.

"Brother Yuan, I don't thank you for your kindness. Did you see Qingtong on the way here?" Long Chong arched his hands towards Yuan Ming and said with gritted teeth.

"No, he immediately disappeared after attacking you. It's impossible for him to stay nearby." Yuan Ming shook his head.

"This thief, I will never let him go!" Long Chong's eyes were full of bloodshot, like an angry beast, and he said hatefully.

As they were talking, the three of them fled forward. The erupting volcano in front of them was getting smaller and smaller, and the three of them soon arrived at a safe area.

Except for Tu Sheng, the others who escaped first were all here, including Ulu.

Seeing the three people coming, including Yuan Ming, everyone had different expressions, but most of them were still happy.

Yuan Ming had a lot of earth core fire lotuses on him. If he could come out alive, everyone's benefits would also increase.

"Qingtong! Come here and die!" A loud shout sounded, interrupting everyone's thoughts.

Long Chong's face was full of rage, and he merged with his spear, turning into a blue stream of light, piercing directly at Qingtong in the crowd.

After regulating his breath, the sluggish feeling in his body had disappeared, and at this moment, only the anger in his heart was left to vent.

Qingtong was not afraid at all, and took out the black double swords with his hands and slashed them crosswise.

There was a loud sound of metal clashing!

The spear and the double swords collided with each other and then separated into two, stirring up a gust of wind, and several people nearby were affected and staggered back.

"Stop, you two Taoist friends just fought side by side, why are you like this now?" Taoist Qianbao frowned and asked.

"What are you doing? If you want to fight, go fight somewhere else!"

"You two should just fight to the death and settle the grudge once and for all, don't waste our time."

The others were eager to share the Earth Heart Fire Lotus, and they looked at Long Chong with unhappiness.

"Long Chong, don't be impulsive, tell me what happened to you, I believe you will give you justice." Qiongyun stepped forward and pulled Long Chong, and said.

As soon as these words came out, the others also understood that there was something hidden in it, and they all became curious.

Long Chong took a deep breath, calmed down, looked around and said: "Fellow Taoists, we agreed before cooperating to obtain treasures that we must not attack our companions during the cooperation period, otherwise we will be regarded as traitors, expelled, and return all the treasures obtained in the secret realm. Is this true?"

"Yes, it is true." Taoist Qianbao nodded.

"Just now when the lava lake erupted and everyone was fleeing, this guy took advantage of my distraction and suddenly attacked me, causing me to almost die in the mouth of the fire crocodile. Tell me, should I kill him?" Long Chong suppressed his anger and pointed at Qing Tong and asked.

Everyone's expressions changed when they heard this.

Everyone had previously stated that they were not allowed to attack their companions. Did Qing Tong really dare to take such a big risk to harm Long Chong?

"You said I attacked you, so I attacked you? You have no evidence, you are just talking nonsense. I said you attacked me!" Qing Tong guessed that in the previous chaos, everyone was concentrating on escaping, and no one paid attention to this side, so he sneered and said.

After that, he looked at Long Chong again and said, "He said I attacked him, you see, does he look like he has been attacked?"

Everyone looked up and down at Long Chong, and they all showed hesitation.

Although Long Chong was indeed in a mess before, he was not really injured. His body looked intact and he did not look like he was attacked by surprise.

Long Chong's eyes were more furious. He raised his hand and slapped the spirit beast bag on his waist, releasing his spirit beast, the cold dragon.

"I was not injured because my spirit pet was loyal to its master and blocked all the injuries for me." Long Chong said angrily.

The people around looked at the ground and saw that half of the scales of the cold dragon had fallen off, and its body was severely burned. There were several shocking blood holes on the neck, which were charred.

"This injury is not light..." Qianbao Taoist frowned.

The monks in the East China Sea all attach great importance to spirit beasts. Long Chong is unlikely to use his spirit beast to play such a slanderous trick.

"Fellow Daoist Long, this is the cold dew jade muscle powder produced by my Jin'ao Island. It can help your spirit pet reduce some pain and is also good for its recovery from injuries. Give it some." Qianbao Taoist took out a white jade porcelain bottle and handed it to Long Chong.

"Thank you, Daoist Qianbao." Long Chong was not polite. He took the jade bottle and applied the blue ointment inside to the wound on the cold dragon.

The wound of the cold dragon suddenly glowed with blue light, forming a layer of blue film covering the wound, which exuded a trace of coldness, greatly reducing the pain of the cold dragon.

Long Chong showed a happy face and thanked Daoist Qianbao again.

"Daoist Long, your spirit beast is indeed badly injured, and I sympathize with it. But sympathy is sympathy, you can't use the spirit beast to gain sympathy to prove that it is my fault. If you don't have direct evidence, I can only think that you are slandering." Qingtong was secretly happy when he saw that the cold dragon was so seriously injured, but he said so.

"You thief..." Long Chong was angered again and was about to curse.

"Daoist Long, what Daoist Qingtong said is not unreasonable. If you want to say that he attacked you, you still need direct evidence, otherwise it will be difficult for everyone to do justice for you." At this time, Huan Lingzi also spoke.

After he said this, the others also looked at Long Chong, waiting for him to produce more evidence.

Long Chong was speechless for a moment. The abnormality on his body had disappeared, so he could not use it as evidence to incriminate Qing Tong. In addition, no one witnessed it at the time, so he really could not produce any substantial evidence.

Seeing that he had nothing to say, Qing Tong's smile gradually became more unbridled.

"Did you see that? Long Chong has no evidence at all, because he is slandering me and trying to deprive me of the right to share the earth's core fire lotus, and even wants to divide up the treasures I got in the secret realm. Such behavior is extremely despicable. Qing suggests that he be deprived of the right to distribute the fire lotus!" Qing Tong shouted arrogantly.

"If it is really a false accusation, this request does not seem to be excessive." Huan Lingzi touched his chin and pretended to be thoughtful.

"Slandering a fellow is no different from secretly harming and betraying. The treasures obtained in the secret realm should also be handed over and distributed to others." Hou Santong looked at Long Chong with disdain and his voice was loud.

"Not bad..."

"You are right..."

When the others heard that they could share more things, they immediately responded.

"I also think that what you said is absolutely right." At this moment, Yuan Ming's voice suddenly sounded.

Hearing this, Long Chong looked at Yuan Ming in disbelief.

Qiong Yun was also shocked, only Wu Lu looked calm, and even raised his mouth slightly.

He and Yuan Ming have known each other for too long. Yuan Ming is like this, most likely he will start to make trouble.

"But..." Yuan Ming turned around and focused everyone's attention on himself.

"If I produce evidence, should Taoist Qingtong also pay the price he deserves? Hand over the treasure, lose the qualification, expel him from the team, and no one can associate with him again?" Yuan Ming asked slowly.

"That's natural."

With the previous preparation, no one cared about Yuan Ming's increased punishment.

"If Taoist Yuan has evidence, just show it, and we will definitely deal with it fairly." Qianbao Taoist said.

Qingtong saw that Yuan Ming was so sure, and her heart tightened for no reason, secretly feeling bad.

When Huan Lingzi saw this, his expression did not change much. He just looked at Yuan Ming without blinking.
