He painstakingly practiced the sword manual and made some progress, but somehow disturbed the giant beast. The beast, awakened from its slumber, became extremely angry. Nan Xun could only rely on his master's power to temporarily escape, but the giant beast was relentless, and his master was too exhausted to help him anymore.
Nan Xun's answer almost made Qin Moyu throw a red lotus fire at him. Despite his anger, Qin Moyu's expression became serious.
Shen Yebai was still holding Qin Moyu without making a sound. Seeing the cat's fur standing on end and its wary look, he couldn't help but lean over and whisper, "It's okay, I'm here."
His breath hit Qin Moyu's ear, giving her goosebumps. Only then did Qin Moyu notice that Shen Yebai was still holding her, and she quickly got out of his arms.
Oh dear, why does it sound so gay?
To cover up his embarrassment, Qin Moyu coughed and changed the subject: "Even if you don't know what it is, you at least know what it looks like. Maybe we do?"
His face was serious, but his ears were secretly turning red.
"Feel sorry……"
Qin Moyu covered her face. This protagonist is too much of a jerk. He didn't know anything and yet he angered the other party, and now he's dragging them both down with him.
“I have a plan.” Nan Xun felt guilty for involving Qin Moyu, and he pursed his lips. “But I need your help.”
6. In Chapter Six, the protagonist absolutely needs to team up to fight wild monsters...
"Why should we trust you?" Shen Yebai hated this guy who suddenly appeared. He not only ruined his time alone with Qin Moyu, but also put Qin Moyu in danger. If it weren't for the emergency, he would have killed this kid.
“With your cultivation suppressed at the Foundation Establishment stage in this secret realm, you can’t leave on a sword.” Nan Xun frowned. “If you don’t trust me, you can deal with that thing yourself. If you hadn’t been implicated by me, I wouldn’t have used it.”
"If you were so kind, would you have lured the giant beast out?" Shen Yebai persisted.
"You!" Nan Xun was speechless for a moment.
They seemed to be born with incompatible personalities. Neither Nan Xun nor Shen Yebai could maintain their usual composure and they were very displeased with each other.
"Alright, stop arguing. What time is it? I believe you, okay? If you keep arguing, that thing will come." Qin Moyu felt the ground shaking and quickly stopped the two people who had suddenly started arguing.
Qin Moyu urged Nan Xun, "Hurry up, hurry up, how do you want us to help you?"
"You believe me?"
"You believe him?"
Nan Xun and Shen Yebai spoke at the same time.
Qin Moyu looked puzzled: "Didn't you say you believed me? Do you want me to write a written agreement?"
Qin Moyu's thinking was simple. He had read the book and knew that the protagonist was a model young man in the early stages. They were all in the same boat. If all else failed, Qin Moyu would expose the Red Lotus Karmic Fire. He wasn't afraid of Nan Xun playing dirty tricks, so of course he could trust him.
Shen Yebai's face instantly darkened. He was so jealous! It had taken him half a year to gain Mo Yu's trust, so why did this brat earn Mo Yu's trust on their very first meeting?!
Nan Xun's expression was also complicated. Having experienced the complexities of human nature since childhood due to the unknown parents, he knew that he couldn't fully trust others, let alone others. This was the first time, apart from his master, that someone had trusted him so much.
“Okay.” Nan Xun took a deep breath and took out his storage bag without hesitation. “Since you trust me, I will definitely not let you down.”
Qin Moyu: No, how come you made such a straight sentence sound so gay?
Qin Moyu noticed that the storage bag Nan Xun took out was entirely red, with a beautifully embroidered "Burning" character on it. It didn't look like something Nan Xun would have.
"I'll draw a formation in a bit. All you have to do is hold it off until I signal it to enter the formation. When the cliff collapses, we can take the opportunity to leave."
The plan is good, but it depends on Qin Moyu and Shen Yebai being able to stall until Nan Xun finishes drawing the formation.
Seeing that Shen Yebai seemed about to say something sarcastic to Nan Xun, Qin Moyu quickly stopped him, smiling and saying, "Speaking of which, Yebai, I haven't seen the spells my master taught me yet. It's a rare opportunity. Don't you believe in your swordsmanship?"
That's true. Secret realms can suppress a person's cultivation level, but sword cultivators are like a bug. Their sharp sword techniques often allow them to unleash even greater power.
"Of course I believe you." Shen Yebai summoned his longsword. The strange agitation he felt when he saw Nan Xun subsided under Qin Moyu's reassurance. He glanced at Nan Xun, his heart filled with vigilance.
It's really strange that the other party made me lose my composure after just one meeting.
"We'll go ahead and drag that thing away. You draw the formation as soon as possible," Qin Moyu said, turning back to Nan Xun.
Nan Xun nodded.
The further forward they went, the stronger the earth-shaking sensation became. Qin Moyu saw countless trees being crushed, and a giant beast charging out from the flying sand and stones.
This behemoth was three meters tall, blotting out the sky. Its round body was covered in brown fur, and it had two huge bull horns. The ground trembled when its four legs touched the ground, and it roared from its mouth full of sharp teeth.
Qin Moyu gasped when he saw it. This thing was obviously a high-defense wild monster, with its fur gleaming with a metallic sheen. It was definitely not to be trifled with.
“Mongolian beast.” Shen Yebai uttered two words, slightly surprised.
"The Meng Beast? That invulnerable beast that disappeared for so long?" Qin Moyu's lips twitched slightly. As expected of the protagonist, he can make such legendary creatures appear so easily.
Shen Yebai pursed his lips and nodded, seemingly deep in thought.
The beast exuded immense pressure; if they were real Foundation Establishment cultivators, they would have been unable to stand. However, both of them were like narcissus flowers that don't bloom—pretending to be innocent.
In danger, a person's adrenaline surges, and Qin Moyu, who had long been prepared for the battle, was even more excited.
The cultivators in this world are divided into many schools. Although they have varying degrees of talent, there is no limitation of spiritual roots. The old Taoist told Qin Moyu that everything in this world has spiritual energy. As long as one uses one's own spiritual energy to mobilize the spiritual energy of the outside world, one can summon wind and rain.
In the past, when Qin Moyu appeared as "Yu Lin", he mostly relied on his companion fire to defeat enemies, and rarely used the things taught by the old Taoist. Now is a good opportunity to test them.
Qin Moyu and Shen Yebai exchanged a glance, and Qin Moyu stepped forward first.
Qin Moyu focused his mind and gathered his spiritual energy in his palm, which flew out like an arrow and struck the Meng beast heavily. The Meng beast took two steps back. The Foundation Establishment stage spell could not harm the Meng beast in the slightest. Instead, it enraged the Meng beast, which roared and charged towards Qin Moyu.
Although the Meng beast lacks intelligence, its innate ability to control the wind makes it impossible for Qin Moyu to avoid its collisions. As the Meng beast gets closer and closer, Qin Moyu remains completely calm.
