Sheng Rao observed carefully for a moment and came up with a solution.

"Let's go over there, to the river." Sheng Rao pointed in the direction of the river and said, "The monster is huge and has difficulty moving. Its speed will be greatly reduced in the river. We may be able to use this advantage to get rid of it."

Ning Suqiu heard this, although she still had doubts in her heart, she could only nod in agreement. The two of them quickened their pace and soon arrived at the river.

Sheng Rao quickly took out a smoke bomb from her storage ring and threw it into the air. With a loud "bang", thick smoke spread instantly, completely covering the figures of the two.

"Let's go!" Sheng Rao shouted in a low voice, took Ning Suqiu's hand, and jumped into the river under the cover of smoke.

The river water was icy cold, but Sheng Rao didn't care.

She pulled Ning Suqiu and swam forward with all her might, hoping to escape the monster's pursuit as soon as possible.

However, the monster was obviously not willing to be outdone. It let out a deafening roar and then jumped into the river.

The water in the river splashed everywhere, and the huge body of the monster created waves in the water.

Although Sheng Rao and Ning Suqiu swam hard, their speed was far slower than that of the monster. Seeing the monster getting closer and closer, Sheng Rao became extremely anxious.

At this critical moment, Sheng Rao suddenly thought of a way. She quickly took out the beast egg from the storage ring and threw it far away. The beast egg drew a beautiful arc in the air and finally fell to the other side of the river.

Upon seeing this, the monster immediately gave up chasing Sheng Rao and Ning Suqiu and swam towards the direction where the eggs fell into the water.

Sheng Rao and Ning Suqiu took the opportunity to speed up and finally got rid of the monster's pursuit.

The two men climbed up to the shore panting, and looked back at the monster that was still frantically searching for eggs in the river, and they couldn't help feeling a little scared.

Sheng Rao turned to look at Ning Suqiu and found that although she was in a miserable state, her eyes were shining with relief at having survived the disaster.

The monster had already left with the eggs in its mouth.

"It seems that we are safe for the time being." Sheng Rao said breathlessly, her tone unable to hide her fatigue but with a hint of relief.

She let go of Ning Suqiu's hand, and they both found a relatively dry place to sit down and began to sort out their thoughts and belongings.

Ning Suqiu remained silent and looked at Sheng Rao with a bad look. It was all because of this bitch. If it weren't for her, she wouldn't be chased by the monster here. Now her clothes are all wet, and the monster eggs that she had worked so hard to get are gone.

Ning Suqiu originally wanted to wait for the monster to hatch and then take it in as a contracted beast, but now everything has gone down the drain.

Sheng Rao could naturally feel Ning Suqiu's complicated gaze, but she didn't say much, just glanced at her lightly and continued to focus on her recovery. She knew that the peace at the moment was only temporary, and she had to recover her strength as soon as possible to prevent any accidents.

"Ning Suqiu, I know you are unwilling to accept this, but don't forget, it is your greed that has pushed us into this situation." Sheng Rao's voice was calm and powerful. She did not want to get too entangled with Ning Suqiu, but just hoped that she could understand her situation and mistakes.

Ning Suqiu snorted coldly and did not refute, but the unwillingness in her eyes did not disappear.

She did regret it, but she resented Sheng Rao more, thinking that if she hadn't meddled in other people's business, she might have managed to escape and even had a powerful contracted monster.

"What should we do now?" Ning Suqiu finally asked this question. Although her tone was still unfriendly, one could also hear a hint of helplessness in her voice.

Sheng Rao stood up and looked around. This was an edge area of ​​the secret realm, which was relatively safe, but they couldn't stay here for long.

Sheng Rao pondered for a moment and said, "We must find Lin Yu and the others as soon as possible and leave here together. Acting alone will only be more dangerous."

Ning Suqiu had no objection, and she didn't want to go through the terrifying experience of being chased by a monster again.

Then the two of them simply packed their clothes and equipment and headed in the direction where they remembered the other people were.

On the way, Sheng Rao used her knowledge of the secret realm to avoid several potentially dangerous areas.

After some effort, they finally found the traces of Lin Yu and Qin Yi.

Lin Yu was a smart man, he knew to put marks on the road.

Sheng Rao recognized these marks, and she took Ning Suqiu and followed the marks.

The two of them walked through a dense forest, with the sounds of birds and insects chirping in their ears, and occasionally they could see a few lively little animals flying around, but this tranquility did not completely dispel the tension and fatigue in their hearts.

Following the guidance of the marks, they gradually approached the hiding place of Lin Yu and Qin Yi.

"It's just ahead." Sheng Rao said softly to Ning Suqiu, with a hint of relief in her eyes.

Finally, they pushed aside the last bush and saw an open space in front of them. Lin Yu stood on one side, and Qin Yi and Lin Xuanyuan stood on the other side.

It seems that while they were running away and hiding, they also met Lin Xuanyuan, but judging from the situation, Lin Yu seemed to be being bullied.

I don’t know what conflict occurred between the two sides.

Lin Xuanyuan pointed at Lin Yu and cursed: "A bastard is a bastard. No matter how hard you try, you are still a waste! You will always be shorter than me!"

Lin Yu's face was pale, and his clenched fists were trembling slightly, but he did not talk back. He just stared at Lin Xuanyuan with eyes full of anger and unwillingness.

Qin Yi stood aside, brows furrowed, obviously not intending to intervene in this matter.

Compared with other people's apprentices, one's own apprentice is naturally more important. What's more, Lin Yu is Sheng Rao's apprentice, which makes Qin Yi even more dissatisfied.

Sheng Rao was furious when she saw this.

What? How dare you point fingers at Lin Yu!

"Lin Xuanyuan, why are you so aggressive?" Sheng Rao's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone.

She slowly walked out of the bushes, her eyes sharp as torches, staring directly at Lin Xuanyuan, "Lin Yu is my apprentice. I know his achievements and efforts best. Your insult today is not only disrespectful to him, but also a provocation to me as his master."

Lin Xuanyuan turned his head to look at Sheng Rao, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Uncle Master? What? Are you going to stand up for this bastard?"

Sheng Rao's face darkened. What she couldn't stand the most was this kind of groundless accusations and provocations.

"presumptuous!"

Sheng Rao shouted angrily, and the pressure from her body pressed directly towards Lin Xuanyuan.

Lin Xuanyuan was forced to kneel down by this sudden pressure. His face was pale and he covered his chest in pain, spitting out blood.

Qin Yi also felt the powerful pressure from Sheng Rao, and his pupils shook.

how come?

Sheng Rao's cultivation is actually higher than his!

How can it be?

He had clearly planned for her death, and he would be the next leader of the Hengyang Sect. How could she have improved her cultivation to such an extent after waking up?
