Gods: Start with Goblins

We in the Lu family must act in an open and aboveboard manner and must not resort to such despicable means. Although Luo Dan is only one person, he is also a worthy opponent. We must compete with him in an upright manner and speak with strength. "

Lu Ren's words made everyone in the team nod in agreement. Although they were wary of Luo Dan, they also knew that what their eldest brother said was right. People in their Lu family never do such sneaky things, let alone kill people. They have to use their own strength and wisdom to fight for the elixir, rather than relying on conspiracy and assassination.

When Lu Ren heard such naive words, he found them extremely ridiculous and immediately sneered, with a bit of disdain and sarcasm in his voice.

"Heh, it seems that you have been the eldest daughter of the family for too long, and you have lost your brains. Although that person is alone, he was able to break our trap easily, which is enough to prove that his cultivation is not low. How can you prove that he is not a master? Besides, there is the mysterious pet beside him. How many of these pets do you know? What if they all have extraordinary strength? Wouldn't we be asking for trouble?"

Lu Ren's questions were like a string of cannonballs, leaving the two girls speechless and blushing. They had originally thought of taking advantage of the fact that the other party was alone and taking action to solve the problem, but they didn't expect that the eldest brother would be so opposed, and his arguments were so reasonable.

Lu Xue bit her lip. Although she was unwilling, she knew that her elder brother was right. She lowered her head and said nothing more.

Lu Yu looked aggrieved. She looked at her eldest brother and whispered, "Brother, we didn't do it on purpose. We just wanted to find the elixir as soon as possible so that everyone in the family can see our strength."

Lu Ren's face was cold and his eyes were extremely calm. He looked at his two sisters and said firmly, "I know you want to prove your strength, but on this snowy mountain, everything is full of unknowns and dangers. The most important thing for us is to get the herbs. If there is no direct conflict between us and the other party, we should not make trouble. Remember, stay calm and rational at all times."

With his words, the others also fell silent. They all knew that Lu Ren was right. On this snowy mountain, they could not make any rash moves, otherwise it might bring unpredictable consequences.

On the other side, Luo Dan was also looking for spiritual medicine. He followed the instructions of his spiritual pet Xiao Hua and walked forward step by step. Xiao Hua was a very smart spiritual pet. It had a keen sense of herbs and could always lead Luo Dan to find the spiritual medicine hidden deep in the snowy mountains.

Finally, with Xiaohua's help, Luo Dan also saw the spiritual medicine he had dreamed of. The spiritual medicine grew in a snowy field, with emerald green leaves and a faint fragrance. Luo Dan saw at a glance that the spiritual medicine was of high quality and was definitely the biggest gain of his trip.

"Xiaohua, thanks to you this time. You have made a great contribution." Luodan seemed very happy. He stroked Xiaohua's head, his eyes full of admiration and gratitude.

Xiaohua was also very happy. It wagged its tail and urged Luodan to pick the spiritual medicine quickly. It knew that this spiritual medicine was very important to Luodan and it was also a good opportunity for it to prove its strength. So Luodan carefully picked the spiritual medicine and put it away properly. He looked at Xiaohua with gratitude and expectation in his heart. He knew that with Xiaohua's help, his journey to find the medicine would be smoother.

But just as he flew into the air and was about to reach the root of the spiritual medicine, suddenly a powerful icy spiritual energy shot towards him like a sharp arrow. The icy spiritual energy was so cold that Luo Dan couldn't help but shiver.

Luo Dan was startled, secretly surprised in his heart, the power of this ball of ice spirit was so strong, obviously not comparable to ordinary ice spells. He did not dare to be careless, and then did a backflip, and landed flexibly somewhere else, avoiding the attack of the ball of ice spirit.

Just as he stood firm and was about to check the surroundings, the creature that attacked him appeared in front of him. It was a huge ice spirit beast, emitting a biting cold air, with eyes like torches, staring at Luo Dan intently, as if it wanted to eat him alive.

Luo Dan's heart trembled, and he immediately understood the identity of this ice spirit beast. It should be the guardian spirit beast of this spiritual medicine, and it has been guarding here for a long time. How could it allow others to easily pick this precious spiritual medicine?

Luo Dan was not vague either. He knew that a head-on fight with this spirit beast would not have a good result, but he would never give up this spirit medicine easily. So, he directly fought with the spirit beast. He was agile and flexible, constantly dodging the ice spirit beast's attacks, while looking for opportunities to counterattack.

Seeing this, the Ice Spirit Beast roared even more angrily, waving its huge claws and rushing towards Luo Dan. Luo Dan's heart tightened, but he was not panicked. He saw the right moment and waved the magic weapon in his hand. A ray of light flashed and directly hit the Ice Spirit Beast's claws.

The Ice Spirit Beast roared in pain and attacked Luo Dan even more frantically. Luo Dan was not to be outdone, he continued to cast various spells and fought fiercely with the Ice Spirit Beast.

Just at this critical moment, another group of people appeared. It was Lu Ren and his group. They were originally observing Luo Dan's actions from a distance, but they didn't expect to see such a scene.

"Luodan, what are you doing? This ice spirit beast is not easy to deal with!" Lu Ren shouted loudly. He was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Luodan would actually fight with this ice spirit beast.

Hearing this, Luo Dan shouted without turning his head, "I'm picking spiritual herbs! Aren't you guys looking for them too? I was the first one to find this spiritual herb!"

When Lu Ren heard this, his heart tightened. He didn't expect Luo Dan to say it so directly. He looked at his sisters around him, then at the ferocious ice spirit beast, and secretly thought about what to do.

At this moment, the Ice Spirit Beast seemed to sense the presence of Lu Ren and his group. It roared, turned around and pounced towards them. Seeing this, Luo Dan was delighted. He knew this was his chance, so he took the opportunity to pounce towards the spiritual medicine, ready to pick it up.

Luo Dan caught a glimpse of them out of the corner of his eye, frowned slightly, and muttered to himself: "Why did I run into this group of people at this time? Are they here to steal the elixir from me?" He became alert in his heart, but his hands did not stop moving, and he continued to fight fiercely with the ice spirit beast.

The moment those people looked up, they naturally discovered Luo Dan who was fighting. Lu Yuyong's eyes lit up and he immediately recognized Luo Dan. He pointed in Luo Dan's direction and shouted excitedly: "It's him, look! The man I met in the cave before, he was quite arrogant before, wasn't he? I didn't expect to be so unlucky that he actually met the companion beast of this spiritual medicine and fought with it."

Lu Xue who was standing next to him also recognized Luo Dan. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she revealed an expression of gloating: "Humph, he has come to this day. He looked so proud before, but now he is being chased everywhere by the companion beast." Another woman, Lu Yu, also spoke at this moment, with a hint of anxiety and excitement in her voice: "Brother, what are you waiting for? Now is our good chance! Were we worried about the companion beast at the beginning? Now someone has helped us to bear the pain and helped us to lure away the demon beast. Now is a good time for us to get the spiritual medicine. If we don't take action now, the spiritual medicine will be taken away by him!"

Hearing this, Lu Ren frowned. He looked at Luo Dan who was fighting fiercely with the ice spirit beast, and felt a little hesitant. He knew that taking advantage of others' misfortunes was not their style, but the temptation of the spiritual medicine was too great, and they had already paid too much for this spiritual medicine.

"But, wouldn't this be unethical?" Lu Ren said hesitantly.

Lu Yuyong was anxious. He urged, "Brother, why are you still hesitating? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! We can't just watch the elixir being taken away by others, right? Besides, didn't he snatch the cave from us before? We are just exchanging gifts."

Lu Xue and Lu Yu also nodded in agreement, their eyes flashing with greed and expectation. Lu Ren looked at them and sighed in his heart. He knew that he could no longer stop them.

At this moment, the Ice Spirit Beast seemed to sense the presence of Lu Ren and his group. It roared, turned around and pounced towards them. Seeing this, Luo Dan was delighted. He knew this was his chance, so he took the opportunity to increase the intensity of his attack on the Ice Spirit Beast, trying to get rid of this trouble as soon as possible.

However, Lu Ren and his party were not intimidated. They used their own magic to confront the ice beast. A battle for the spiritual medicine began on the snowy mountain.

"Yeah, there just happened to be an idiot diverting our attention away from the companion beast. What are we waiting for? Let's quickly get the elixir and leave here. I thought we were going to have a big fight this time, but I didn't expect to get such a good deal. Brother, this is a rare opportunity!"

Everyone urged him on, their voices rising one after another, surging towards Lu Ren like a tide.

"Brother, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and act! The elixir is right in front of us, we can't let it slip away!" Lu Yuyong was so anxious that he jumped to his feet. He clenched his fists and his eyes flashed with greed.

"Yes, big brother, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Luodan is fighting with his companion beast, and we can take the elixir." Lu Xue also echoed, with a hint of excitement and anticipation in her voice.

"Brother, don't hesitate anymore. We don't have to pay anything and we can get everything easily. Where can you find such a good thing?" Lu Yu was even more direct. She pulled Lu Ren's sleeve, her eyes full of pleading.

Their idea was simple, that is, to take the elixir while the situation was favorable. Then Luo Dan would have to bear the pain alone, and they would be the ones to pick the fruits. This kind of good thing that came without any effort filled their hearts with anticipation and greed.

Moreover, they might have hoped that Luo Dan would die in this battle. That way, no one would know what they had done, their reputation would not be blemished, and there would be no problems. They could enjoy this unearned fruit with peace of mind.

Lu Ren was hesitating, his heart was like the surging waves, and he could not calm down for a long time. He not only claimed to be a gentleman, but also a real gentleman. He knew very well that taking advantage of others' misfortune was not a gentleman's behavior, let alone adding insult to injury.

"But isn't this too much? Luodan is also a life after all." Lu Ren pondered, with a hint of hesitation and reluctance in his voice.

"Brother, don't be silly. On this snowy mountain, the law of the jungle is the law of the jungle. If we don't take the opportunity to take the spiritual medicine, when Luodan gets rid of the companion beast, won't the spiritual medicine be taken away by him anyway?" Lu Yuyong said anxiously, trying to persuade Lu Ren.

"But, by doing this, aren't we going against our conscience and morality?" Lu Ren retorted, his voice firm and powerful.

"Brother, don't be so naive. In this world of cultivation, can conscience and morality be eaten? Only strength is the hard truth. If we get the elixir, our strength will be greatly increased. Who will dare to look down on us then?" Lu Xue also spoke, with a hint of indifference and realism in her voice.

The people around him kept urging him, which made Lu Ren feel under great pressure. He knew that every decision he made could affect his future and reputation. What should he do? Should he stick to his gentlemanly way, or follow the wishes of the crowd and take the elixir away?
Lu Ren's heart was full of contradictions and struggles, and he didn't know how to make a decision. He looked at Luo Dan who was fighting fiercely with his companion beast, and prayed in his heart: "Lu Dan, you must hold on! I, Lu Ren, will never do anything to take advantage of others in distress!"

"Brother, what are you waiting for? Go pick the elixir quickly?" Lu Yuyong urged impatiently, his eyes fixed on the precious elixir, as if he had already seen the scene of it falling into his hands.

"Brother, if we don't hurry up, it will be too late," Lu Xue also joined in the urging, "If we wait until that kid named Luo Dan defeats the companion beast, it's not certain who will get this thing. While they are fighting, let's secretly pick the elixir, right? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"Brother, if you don't want to pick it, let me do it," Lu Yu said with a determined look, "Anyway, the spiritual medicine will definitely belong to us. I won't miss such a good opportunity like you! If you can't do it, then I will do it myself."

As he spoke, Lu Yu pretended to rush up the mountain, looking impatient.

Lu Yu snorted coldly, obviously dissatisfied with his elder brother's hesitation. He ran up the mountain in a flash, as agile as a cheetah, and approached the magical medicine in the blink of an eye. (End of this chapter)
