Chapter 231: Saving the Team

In the past, whenever Ye Shiyuan rejected her, Ning Rongrong had not been this angry.

But now, the fury in her heart was growing stronger and stronger.

Ye Shiyuan rejected her, yet he was carrying another person in his arms.

This young man looked somewhat familiar.

She felt as though she had seen him before, but for the moment, she could not remember where.

Originally, she had only met Bai He once.

Now that Bai He was dressed like this, she naturally failed to recognize him.

"Ye Shiyuan, do you really think you can slay the demon dragon by yourself? I specially reserved a place for you. As long as you join my team, we can work together to kill the demon dragon. At that time, whatever you want, even leaving the Spirit Pagoda ahead of schedule, can be arranged."

She could remove someone from her Dragon Slayer Team at any time.

With Ye Shiyuan’s abilities, he was actually already qualified to leave the Spirit Pagoda.

There was no real need for him to continue training here.

However, the Spirit Pagoda had a rule that everyone had to remain here for two years.

Otherwise, Ye Shiyuan would have left long ago.

"If that’s the case, then the life of that demon dragon belongs to me, Ye Shiyuan. No matter how many people you have, it makes no difference."

This was Ye Shiyuan’s confidence.

He held Bai He’s hand and, even at a moment like this, did not forget to remind someone.

"Junior Brother, let’s go."

Xu Feng snapped back to his senses and immediately followed after him.

As they watched Ye Shiyuan leave, someone could no longer hold back.

"Brother Ning, why do we have to keep insisting on recruiting Ye Shiyuan? We have so many people. It’s not as though we’re necessarily inferior to him."

"You don’t understand. Even if all of you were added together, you still wouldn’t compare to him alone."

Some words slipped out without thinking, completely overlooking how much harm they could cause to others.

Yet when faced with this fact, no one spoke up to refute it.

"Forget it. Let’s go. We must kill the demon dragon. We absolutely cannot let Ye Shiyuan steal the prize from us."

Ye Shiyuan wanted to leave this place?

She would never allow it.

...

They continued walking along the path.

The entire journey remained very quiet.

Bai He did not know where they were heading.

In any case, following Ye Shiyuan was enough.

Suddenly, a furious roar echoed through the air.

It sounded like a ferocious beast.

For a moment, it was impossible to tell what kind of beast it was, but it definitely had nothing to do with a dragon’s roar.

Immediately afterward, someone came stumbling out of the darkness.

Ye Shiyuan instantly stepped in front of Bai He.

When the figure drew closer, they saw that it was a young woman whose face was covered in blood.

When she saw Ye Shiyuan, she felt both joy and despair.

Would Ye Shiyuan help them?

No.

Almost certainly not.

Even so, she still wanted to cling to a sliver of hope.

"Ye... Ye Shiyuan, please... please save them..."

Although the woman’s face was covered in blood and her features could not be seen clearly, Bai He noticed the bloodstained pouch hanging from her waist.

He had seen that pouch not long ago.

Bai He peeked out from behind Ye Shiyuan.

The woman clearly saw Bai He and seemed to catch sight of a ray of hope.

"Young Master, we just met earlier. My elder brother was the one who pointed out the way for you. Do you remember?"

Bai He remembered.

He could not help but tighten his grip on Ye Shiyuan’s hand.

"Let’s go take a look."

"Alright."

Ye Shiyuan did not like meddling in other people’s affairs.

However, if this person had once helped Bai He, then he was willing to make the trip.

Moreover, he could see from Bai He’s eyes that Bai He wanted him to go.

Their team was actually a very ordinary one.

It consisted of ten people led by their captain, Zhang Ping.

Originally, everything had been peaceful.

However, not long ago, they encountered an attack from a ferocious beast ahead.

The vicious creature was savage beyond compare.

Everyone fought desperately to resist it, and in the end, she was the only one who managed to escape and seek help.

Under the young woman’s guidance, they quickly arrived at their destination.

Judging from its appearance, the beast seemed to be a tiger.

However, its body was far larger than that of an ordinary tiger.

The faint scent of blood lingered in the air.

Bai He frowned slightly.

He saw that all nine of them were injured.

Some had even collapsed onto the ground and were unable to get back up.

The tiger was slowly approaching them.

Just as they were about to become prey beneath its jaws, a sword flew over from the distance.

With a single strike, it forcibly chopped off the pair of sharp fangs protruding from the tiger’s mouth.

The tiger was instantly sent tumbling backward several times, knocking down several large trees in the process.

The arrogant roars from before immediately turned into pitiful whimpers.

When facing a true powerhouse, beasts and humans alike could accurately judge the difference in strength.

The tiger hurriedly scrambled back to its feet.

It did not dare remain there any longer and immediately fled.

"Brother Zhang, are you alright?"

The young woman helped Zhang Ping sit up.

A wound stretched across Zhang Ping’s arm, and blood was still flowing from it.

Bai He took out a bottle of medicinal pills from his storage bracelet and handed it to the young woman.

"Miss, these are spirit pills that strengthen one’s foundation, replenish vitality, and stop bleeding. Please distribute them to everyone."

"Thank you, Young Master. Thank you, Young Master."

After repeatedly expressing her gratitude, the young woman took out one pill and fed it to Zhang Ping.

Then she distributed the others to the rest of the team.
