594. Chapter 594 Excuse (1/2)

Ten minutes ago, on a peak on the edge of the Wanyao Mountains, a beautiful woman leaped to the top of the peak. It was Cao Ying, known as the witch of the Cao family.

Cao Ying looked around with her beautiful eyes, but did not see the elders of Danta who came to greet the contestants. Cao Ying was not surprised by this. Generally speaking, the elders of Danta would come to pick up the contestants the day after the competition started. According to the time calculation of previous years, the contestants would need a day and a night to complete the task even if they were fast.

Now the elder of Danta who was responsible for welcoming them should still be waiting in Danta.

Cao Ying turned around and stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the vast Wanyao Mountains.

This mountain was the safest place for this alchemy meeting. It was once banned by the ancestor of Danta. Unless they were as strong as the ancestor of Danta, no one could fight here, not even the Soul Palace.

However, Cao Ying was clearly standing in such a safe place. Next, as long as today passed and the elders of Danta arrived tomorrow, she would be able to return to Danta safely.

But for some reason, Cao Ying's mind kept flashing the line of words that Xiao Yan had written in the air at the risk of exposing himself.

In her heart, she couldn't help but feel unhappy.

To put herself in danger in order to tell others that there was danger, this was what Xiao Yan did, and this was something Cao Ying would never do.

I am gifted and my family is rich. I will definitely make unparalleled contributions to Danta in the future.

So, I must not die here.

Cao Ying persuaded herself in this way over and over again in her heart, but these persuading voices not only did not make Cao Ying feel comfortable, but made her feel more uncomfortable.

No matter how much she persuaded herself in her heart, Cao Ying knew very well what the facts were.

To put it nicely, her voice was a reason, and to put it bluntly, it was an excuse.

Because she was afraid of death and because she didn't dare to take the risk to save others, she found one statement after another for herself that she should survive.

(I am right. What I have is not comparable to Xiao Yan. He can face danger recklessly, but I can never do that.)

Cao Ying's expression changed, and she found an excuse for herself again.

But as soon as this excuse came out of her heart, a question to herself rang out.

(But can Xiao Yan give away what he has at will?)

The disciple of Yao Chen, the first alchemist in the continent, won the soul gambling battle against herself, who was called the demon girl of the Cao family, and successfully refined a superior seventh-grade elixir a few days ago.

And looking at the flame that Xiao Yan just wrote in the air, it was obviously the strange fire that all alchemists flocked to and could only get after a life-and-death struggle.

So far, Cao Ying found that the only thing that Xiao Yan was really inferior to her was perhaps her family background.

She did not have the advantage of family background, but had the same conditions as Xiao Yan. Would she do the same thing as Xiao Yan?

After asking this question, Cao Ying thought of the answer in just a moment.

Definitely not, I will still find excuses that sound reasonable for my fear of death, because Xiao Yan also has the conditions that can serve as excuses.

If I should not die compared to Xiao Yan, then shouldn't Xiao Yan die compared to others?

(Wait. That's not right) Cao Ying, who had found countless excuses in her heart, suddenly encountered something, her eyes stagnated, her jade hands gently covered her mouth, and her trembling pupils revealed disbelief in herself, (I turned out to be such a person?)

I feel that I am more noble than others so I should not die, I feel that I feel that I am more brilliant so I should not die, I feel that I am better than others so I should not die.

According to my logic, those who are not as good as me should die?

At this moment, Cao Ying suddenly realized that the elegant and decent self who was supported and praised by everyone was simply a false disguise that she didn't even realize.

The Cao Ying who was praised and loved by countless people, at this moment of real crisis, revealed a cowardly person who was afraid of death, self-righteous and high-handed, and believed from the bottom of his heart that those who were not as good as him should die. Despicable person.

This kind of person was what Cao Ying despised the most before.

However, now, at this moment, the person Cao Ying despised the most was precisely herself.

Even she was the kind of person she hated, so how could she have the nerve to hate the kind of person she hated in the past?

Cao Ying stood on the edge of the cliff in a daze, and did not come back to her senses for a long time.

At this moment, two figures landed on the top of the mountain, which made Cao Ying suddenly come back to her senses. She turned her head and looked, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

Song Qing, and Dan Chen.

"Are you two okay?"

Cao Ying shook her head slightly and asked with concern.

Dan Chen nodded, and Song Qing raised his hand to answer.

"We encountered the Soul Palace when we came here, but it seems that the Soul Palaces all rushed in one direction and did not find us." Song Qing said, and then frowned slightly, "Did you also come here directly after seeing the words written by Xiao Yan in the air?"

".Yes."

Cao Ying's expression froze, and then nodded with a somewhat ugly expression.

Even if Song Qing himself did not mean that, Cao Ying heard his words as if he was saying that she was a coward.

At this moment, Dan Chen suddenly pointed to the Wanyao Mountains in the distance and said in a delicate voice.

"Look there!"

Cao Ying and Song Qing looked together and found that in the jungle of the Wanyao Mountains, a forest was completely burned by a sudden flame. They immediately saw black figures one after another appearing in the open space. above.

That number far exceeds the number of contestants.

In other words, those figures are all soul palaces.

"That flame just now should be Xiao Yan, right?" Song Qing stood on the edge of the cliff, frowning tightly, "Did he lure the entire Soul Palace over?"

As soon as Song Qing's question came out, Cao Ying suddenly felt like she was struck by a thousand arrows in her heart. Her green jade fingers turned white when pinched, and her silver teeth bit her red lips tightly.

Why. Why can he do this? Is he really not afraid of death?

what to do? Should I go there together?

But there are too many soul palaces, and even if I go there, it will be of no use.

Unconsciously, Cao Ying began to make excuses for herself again.

And just when Cao Ying was extremely entangled in her heart, Dan Chen frowned tightly on her little face, and then spoke firmly.

"I'm going there."

"Ha? Are you crazy?!" Song Qing suddenly turned to look at Dan Chen, "Everyone in the Soul Palace has gathered there, what's the use of your little strength?"

"Perhaps you are right, but I still have to go." Dan Chen clenched his fists and said firmly: "If it is Lord Yao, she will never live in this situation!"

Danchen grew up listening to the stories of Master Yao.

There are many deeds of Master Yao, and all of them have one thing in common.

"Master Yao will never make any excuses for himself, he will always do what he has to do!"

Dan Chen's words shocked Cao Ying's heart, and then she listened blankly to Dan Chen's next words.

"I feel now that I should go help, so I should go!" After saying that, Dan Chen didn't care about Cao Ying and Song Qing's responses. He took a small step and jumped down from the mountain peak, stepping on the void and heading towards the place quickly. Run across the clearing.

"Dan Chen! Wait!" Song Qing quickly stretched out his hand to stop him. After finding it useless, he gritted his teeth and cursed angrily, "Do all of them like to die so much?!"

Then Song Qing looked like he was ready to catch up. Cao Ying asked blankly after seeing his actions.

"You want to go too? Aren't you afraid of death?"

"How can you not be afraid of death?! That Xiao Yan has a brain problem, but I have no problem!" Song Qing cursed, and did not move slowly at all. He jumped directly, "But I am the elder of the Dan Pagoda! Dan Chen That girl is gone, how can I, the elder, have the nerve to stay here?"

Cao Ying stared blankly at the retreating figures of Dan Chen and Song Qingyuan. After a long time, she gradually came to her senses and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Then he lowered his head and murmured in a deep voice.

"I am the enchantress of the Cao family, so why should I be afraid of the mere Soul Palace!"

Cao Ying suddenly raised her head, with a dazzling light in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and jumped down the mountain with Dan Chen and Song Qing.

At this moment, Cao Ying felt that she must be crazy to do such irrational behavior.

However, Cao Ying's heart was sober as never before, and she told herself very clearly.

If I were still making rational decisions now.

Even if Cao Ying leaves this mountain alive, she will never be able to move forward even half a step in her life!

The three Douzong-level people were very fast. They reached the edge of the open space in a few leaps. On the way, they felt Xiao Yan's movement that made the entire Wanyao Mountains tremble.

It turns out that he is not only good at refining medicine.

Cao Ying looked shocked, and then she felt even more ashamed.

Now, I really have no excuses at all. Xiao Yan is really better than me in every aspect, but he can still do what he should do without hesitation.

After a brief moment of shame, Cao Ying's eyes became stern.

But now, I’m not bad either!

I returned to this dangerous place even though I was already safe, and I lived up to my reputation as the witch of the Cao family!

Finally, Cao Ying and the others arrived at the edge of the clearing, and happened to see Soul Shu knocking the contestants away, and then accurately attacking them with soul arrows.

"Song Qing! Dan Chen! Help me!"

Cao Ying shouted loudly, and the majestic soul power suddenly emerged. Dan Chen and Song Qing did not dare to slack off at all, and released their soul power to help Cao Ying. The combined soul power of the three people was easily controlled by Cao Ying. Crush all those soul arrows.

"Really, it's almost."

Cao Ying landed on the ground and looked at the contestants with one hand on her hip. Seeing the excited and grateful eyes of everyone, Cao Ying felt unprecedentedly proud.

It was only at this moment that Cao Ying suddenly understood that everything she had ever had, including the name of the Cao family's witch, was just something she was born with, and there was nothing to be proud of.

But it's different now. It's your choice to come here and risk your life to save them!

"Sorry, everyone." Cao Ying said with a smile on her lips and straight waist, "We are a little late."

"Miss Cao Ying! Miss Danchen! Elder Song Qing!"

Seeing the arrival of the three, the contestants burst into tears.

Cao Ying glanced at the situation in the field, looking at Hun Shu who was staring at her, and was shocked to find that she couldn't feel the opponent's strength.

At this time, one of the contestants came back to his senses and yelled quickly.

"Stop that woman quickly! Don't let her continue to restore her companions!"

Cao Ying and the other two people frowned tightly. They saw Hun Shu putting one hand on Hun Mei's shoulder and using the other hand to transport fighting energy and soul power into Hun Mei's body. They immediately understood what was going on.

Cao Ying looked serious and roared in a low voice.

"Song Qing! Danchen! Let's go!"

Cao Ying and the others immediately divided into three groups and attacked Hun Shu. Hun Shu's Leng Ao eyes became more and more impatient when she saw the three people's movements.

"Have you finished playing one by one!!!"

Hun Shu shouted angrily, and the majestic fighting energy burst out from her body again. The expressions of Cao Ying and the three of them were stagnant. They immediately formed hand seals to resist the outbreak of fighting energy, and their hearts were stagnant.

Is this Dou Zun? !

However, the three of them also saw that Hun Shu could not use her hands to deal with them now, and her combat power was restricted.

It may not be easy to kill her, but it is not impossible to interrupt her to restore Hunmei!

"Use soul power! She can't be distracted now!"

Cao Ying roared loudly, and Song Qing and Dan Chen immediately spread their soul power, turning into two shock waves and quickly hitting Hun Shu.

Buzz! ! !

Hun Shu's face was ferocious, and she could only use her soul power to form a wall to resist the impact of the two. Now most of her energy was focused on restoring Hun Mei, and the soul power she could use was not even half of the original!

Furthermore, Song Qing and Dan Chen are both young leaders in Danta that attract much attention, and their soul power is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

I was actually forced into this situation by these ants!

Hun Shu was about to go crazy. In the past, Cao Ying and the other three were just things that could be wiped out by him with a wave of his hand, but now they were making it so difficult for him? !

(Wait. There’s another one?!)

Hun Shu was concentrating on resisting Dan Chen and Song Qing's soul power, and at this moment she suddenly realized that Cao Ying had disappeared without a trace!

"Hunxuanfeng!"

There was a loud shout, and Hun Shu suddenly turned her head and saw Cao Ying coming around behind her at some point. The phoenix formed by the condensed soul screamed loudly and crashed towards her at high speed.

This attack may not be able to severely damage Hun Shu's soul, but it will definitely cause a violent shock in her soul. Hun Mei's recovery will definitely be in vain!

At this time, Hun Shu had no power left to stop her!

"Hun Yan!!!"

Hun Shu suddenly called in a high voice. Hun Yan, who was confronting Xiao Yan, had a look on her face and disappeared from Xiao Yan in an instant. Xiao Yan was stunned, and immediately felt panic in his mind.

Oops!

Xiao Yan suddenly turned around and saw that Hun Yan had already ducked behind Hun Shu. With a wave of his hand, he smashed the soul skill Hun Xuanfeng into pieces in front of Cao Ying's shocked eyes.

Cao Ying stared blankly at Hun Yan who suddenly appeared in front of her. Before she could recover from the shock of her Hun Xuanfeng being defeated, she saw Hun Yan stabbing her with a cold expression.

The attack was so fast that Cao Ying had no chance of evading it. Song Qing and Dan Chen both had panic written on their faces.

"Cao Ying!!!"

Poof! (End of chapter)
