Fights Break Sphere: Thunder Shattered

Chapter 540 Are all these people so brave?

At this moment, nearly a hundred people gathered a kilometer away from the towering mountain peak.

Xiao Tian and Zi Yan sat in the void not far from them, watching the commotion in front of them with great interest.

"Hey, Xiao Tian, ​​look! That woman in the black dress seems to have the shadows of Fei Yan and Sister Ya Fei. She looks exceptionally... what was her name again? Right, exceptionally seductive!" Zi Yan sat on Xiao Tian's lap, leaning against him, and pointed in a certain direction.

"Moreover, I feel that your willingness to agree to come and watch the show so readily is suspicious. I strongly suspect that you came for her."

Wherever he pointed, Cao Ying, dressed in a black dress, was leaning against a tree a short distance from the crowd, looking languid as she played with her hair, appearing exceptionally alluring.

Many people around secretly glanced at him, their eyes filled with lust.

"Nonsense, how could I be that kind of person? I'm perfectly pure and innocent. And the excitement is about to start. Are you going to watch or not? If not, we're leaving." Xiao Tian pinched Zi Yan's slightly chubby face. "Also, that's not how you use idioms. You're using them all wrong."

"Pah, you call yourself pure and innocent? Then I'd be Buddha! Do you add three spoonfuls of sugar to your food? Garlic bird, garlic bird, that's not important, watching the show is." Zi Yan nudged Xiao Tian's chin with her head, rolling her eyes. "I'll use idioms however I like, hmph."

Xiao Tian also deeply regretted telling them too much, which led them to apply what he had learned to other situations.

……

In the dense forest, a handsome man dressed in black, with a badge bearing seven glittering purple-gold stars on his chest, stood on a boulder.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Tianyi could roughly guess that this person must be Song Qing, the disciple of the Grand Elder of the Outer Tower of the Pill Tower.

"Gentlemen, I presume you have come here because the quest items you need are all here, but the things inside this mountain range are not something you can just take as you please."

"Within the Ten Thousand Medicines Mountain Range, there are many magical beasts, and the one who commands these magical beasts is an unparalleled ferocious beast that has reached the peak of the seventh rank, and even has one foot in the eighth rank."

"Moreover, according to my latest understanding, most of the medicinal herbs in the Wanyao Mountain Range have been collected by him and stored in his cave."

"Lord Song Qing, is what you say true?" a sixth-grade alchemist asked Song Qing.

"Of course, this is all information I obtained by asking the monsters. Haven't you noticed that many places have been dug up and still have the scent of medicinal herbs inside?"

Immediately, the people present started discussing it, and the noise became quite loud.

Ultimately, after Song Qing's instigation and persuasion, everyone present reached a joint agreement.

Inside the void.

"No, are all these people really this brave? They haven't even gathered any information yet, and they dare to say they're going to kill Xiong Zhan. Have these people lost their minds from refining medicine? Xiong Zhan broke through to the eighth-order magical beast several years ago. In front of a Dou Zun, Dou Zong can be taken down with one punch, or a group of them with two punches."

Zi Yan swallowed a pill and mumbled indistinctly, "But if they weren't idiots, how would I have gotten to watch the show?"

Xiao Tian shook his head helplessly. This group of people really didn't even send out scouts to gather intelligence, and just planned to rush in headfirst. Is this what they call the arrogance and pride of alchemists?

...After doing all this, Song Qing had a proud look on his face. Being able to subdue outstanding alchemists from all over the continent was a great thing that needs no further explanation; it was not something that ordinary people could do.

He glanced smugly at Cao Ying, who exuded a languid and alluring charm in the distance, as if seeking her praise.
However, Cao Ying only glanced at it indifferently in the end. She agreed to Song Qing's suggestion, mainly for the sake of medicinal herbs and to find the person she had been longing for.

If I take that mountain peak, I don't believe the other side won't have the Wan Yao Mountain Range as part of their quest rewards. I'll just wait there and wait for them to come. I don't believe they won't come here.

Seeing that Cao Ying didn't even glance at him, and seeing a hint of longing in her eyes, Song Qing couldn't help but recall the rumors that Cao Ying had someone she liked. At that moment, he felt more like a clown.

His hands, hidden inside his sleeves, clenched tightly, and a hint of jealousy flickered in his eyes.

Song Qing suppressed his jealousy and deliberately softened his voice, adding a touch of tenderness, "Ying'er, don't worry. You can stay by my side for a while, and I will definitely protect you."

However, Cao Ying's beautiful face remained unchanged in the face of his "deeply affectionate" statement. She spoke calmly, her voice clear and cold, without the slightest ripple:
“I appreciate Senior Brother Song Qing’s kindness. However, there’s no need for protection; I’m used to relying on myself.” She paused slightly, her eyes seemingly glancing at Song Qing out of the corner of her eye. “Also, please call me Cao Ying or Junior Sister Cao Ying.”

Cao Ying didn't want the other person to call her Ying'er, such an intimate name. What if Xiao Tian heard it and misunderstood?

Upon hearing this, Song Qing's smile instantly froze. He naturally understood that Cao Ying was subtly mocking him for abandoning everyone and escaping first from the secret realm. A barely perceptible sinister glint flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

"Junior Sister Cao Ying, back then..." Song Qing wanted to explain something again, but was interrupted by Cao Ying.

"Senior Brother Song Qing, this is a serious matter. They are all waiting for you to make a decision."

After saying that, Cao Ying closed her eyes to rest and ignored Song Qing.

"Xiao Tian, ​​is this the Boiling Sheep you were talking about?" Zi Yan asked, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at the scene in front of her.

"No, Boiling Sheep doesn't quite qualify. Although Boiling Sheep is a simp, he's really loyal when it comes to something." Xiao Tian also recalled that in the secret realm and in the original story, Song Qing would abandon everyone and flee in a sorry state.

His actions in the face of life and death were understandable, but they also reflected whether a man was worthy of one's trust.

Just like an earthquake, running away is instinctive, but after running a few steps, risking one's life to turn back and protect one's family, that is a man's responsibility.

……

Seeing this, Song Qing took a deep breath, turned around, and shouted to the nearly one hundred alchemists who were whispering around him:

"Gentlemen, this beast that rules the mountain is brutal and savage, seizing resources and blocking our path to alchemy! For the sake of fairness and to seize opportunities, we alchemists must unite and work together to vanquish this monster!"

Encouraged by Song Qing, these alchemists were ultimately driven by greed and herd mentality. Some transformed their fighting spirit into wings, while others walked on air, turning into streaks of light and rushing into the Ten Thousand Medicines Mountain Range.

The battle erupted in an instant!
