Yuan Shengtao wanted to continue, but unfortunately, the pain in his head increased suddenly, forcing him to close his mouth tightly to avoid screaming instead of saying anything.

His pride wouldn't allow him to embarrass himself in front of these people!

Although he didn't finish listening, Su Tang already understood his intention and suddenly laughed, "You are feeling very uncomfortable now, right? Do you really want me to kill you? Why do you even bother to irritate me with such words?"

She shook her head. "It's useless. If I was provoked by a few words from you, I wouldn't be here today! As for what your father did back then... unfortunately, he has been burned to ashes and there is no way to whip his corpse. As a son who has inherited his business, you must have been prepared to pay for your father's debts."

At this point, Su Tang's face suddenly darkened, and he said grimly, "What's this little pain? Is it comparable to the annihilation of my entire Su family? Is it comparable to the pain of the child you killed in the cellar more than ten years ago? He always treated you as a friend and wanted to protect you, right? If you can eat the flesh and blood of such a person and gain his supernatural powers, what else can't you do?"

The last words seemed to touch Yuan Shengtao's sore spot. He suddenly widened his eyes, and the expression on his face became seriously distorted. He moved his arms with difficulty, as if he was going to wave them towards Su Tang.

Meng Huo attacked unexpectedly, slashing his shoulders with two knife blows. There were slight "crackling" sounds, and his arms suddenly fell limply.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Yuan Shengtao's forehead and began to flow down his cheeks.

He seemed to be unaware of anything, still glaring at Su Tang viciously, "What do you know? If I don't kill him and eat him, he will kill me and eat me! Everyone is like this, wearing a hypocritical mask of a protector, and at the last moment, always thinking about how to survive! Why should I be treated as food by him? Just because I don't have superpowers? How ridiculous! I have to kill him! Not only will I kill him, I will also tear off his flesh and eat it! I want him to remember even after he dies that the person who survived to the end was me! It was me!..."

Yuan Shengtao was roaring like a madman, contrary to his previous calmness.

At this time, the team members who were watching outside came in to report, "The people who went out are coming back one after another!"

That means they have to fight those people. Su Tang could feel that he was softening, and he couldn't help but relax a little.

It’s not that she doesn’t want him to gain more abilities, but this crystal core is, after all, of the same kind and it belonged to Yuan Shengtao. Just thinking about absorbing it makes her feel as if the man’s life is continuing, and she feels very uncomfortable.

If possible, she really didn't want Meng Huo to use it!

Just as she was thankful for his softening, Ren Xiao, who had been very wary of Meng Huo, suddenly said in a relaxed tone, "Yes, I think you might as well give me this crystal core as a thank you gift. You know, I definitely played an indispensable role in your safe awakening this time. You won't be stingy and refuse, right?"

Oops!

When Su Tang heard him speak, he had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, after he said these two sentences, Meng Huo's previous softness disappeared, and his mood obviously became worse.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Ren Xiao, and said very straightforwardly, "I refuse!"

Ren Xiao was stunned as he didn't expect this to happen. He opened his mouth but was speechless for a moment.

Do you want to be so cruel?

At least, I saved you once! Really, you have changed so much!

In the past... Ren Xiao rubbed his forehead with a headache. Well, in the past, this man would definitely not give him the crystal core, but he would definitely not make him feel so embarrassed!

In other words, the part he lacks is probably not just his feelings for Su Tang, but also his tactfulness, etc.

This is really terrible!

Ren Xiao felt that it would be better for him to part ways with Meng Huo as soon as possible.

Otherwise, maybe one day, this guy might dislike him and do something dirty to him without having to worry about Su Tang!

For a moment, the three people in the cave had their own thoughts and the atmosphere became silent.

Su Tang closed his eyes and turned his head towards the cave entrance. "The men who went out to look for people with Yuan Shengtao have returned. There are quite a few of them. Let's go and deal with the matter outside first. As for the crystal core, we'll talk about it later."

As she said that, she rushed out first.

Ren Xiao glanced at Meng Huo and followed him.

Watching the two figures moving away one after the other, Meng Huo, who was left behind, pursed his lips unhappily, feeling suddenly uncomfortable somewhere in his heart.

He actually didn't want the crystal core that much, but the energy fluctuations inside attracted him a little.

But the two of them behaved as if they had agreed to keep the crystal core together.

This made him very unhappy!

Su Tang...should be his woman!

Although he now does not think that he has any close feelings for her, or anyone else, his memory tells him that she is his, and they are already quite close!

A cold snort came out of his throat and Meng Huo dodged and walked out.

And outside, the battle was already going on.

The people who were sent out to look for Xiaopang have all returned. In fact, the first two psychics who returned have been ambushed by the members of the Orange Team. There are still seven people left, who are still resisting stubbornly.

The fact that the other party can enter and exit the cave freely means something very obvious.

Young Master...was most likely killed by them!

When they thought of this, the eyes of Yuan Shengtao's men turned red, and they fought with all their might.

Therefore, despite their numerical disadvantage, the members of the Orange Team were unable to defeat them for a while. It was not until Su Tang, Ren Xiao, and finally Meng Huo joined in that they finally fell to the ground one by one unwillingly.

This fight, which truly marked the end, ended in less than an hour.

The bodies scattered all over the place were piled up together and burned, including a skeleton. The pieces of cloth falling on the skeleton allowed Su Tang to recognize that it was the skeleton of the fat man brought back by those people.

As for the cave where Yuan Shengtao once lived, Xun Yeping took action to completely collapse it and bury it.

The noise was quite loud, and all the mutant beasts in the mountains were attracted out.

But now, neither Su Tang nor Meng Huo had the energy to fight, and the members of the Orange Team were already exhausted. They made the same decision to return to Yangliu Base first.

Su Tang hesitated for a moment, but still called Xiaoguai over and sat on it.

"I'm still feeling a little uncomfortable, so I'll go ahead and wait for you at the Yangliu Base." She said to Meng Huo. Her attitude was somewhat distant without her realizing it.

Honestly, she didn't know how to face Meng Huo in this situation. His coldness showed no signs of melting away. Facing her was not much better than facing a stranger.

Even though he knew it wasn't his fault, he couldn't help feeling sad.

Anyway, there is no danger now.

As his supernatural power advanced, he became even calmer and would never be ambushed again.

Well, she just gave herself some time.

Sure enough, Meng Huo just glanced at her and immediately nodded in agreement.

Su Tang's eyes dimmed slightly, and he retracted his gaze, then said, "Xiaoguai, let's go back to Yangliu Base."

Xiaoguai was flapping his wings and about to fly off the ground when suddenly a figure swooped over and sat right behind Su Tang. Ren Xiao said dissatisfiedly, "We came here together, so you can't leave me behind if you want to leave!"

Su Tang's hand paused for a moment, and finally reached out to Xiaoguai's neck, stroking it and saying, "Let's go."

Xiaoguai cried out and flew up into the sky obediently.

Ren Xiao turned his head and winked at Meng Huo, then caught a glimpse of the other person's gloomy eyes that were aroused by his actions, and turned back with a satisfied smile.

Su Tang sighed secretly, "Why do you have to do this?"

Ren Xiao shrugged, "I found out that I messed up the crystal core thing a bit, so I plan to make up for it."

"Compensation?" Does this count?

"Yeah, didn't you notice? He's not completely emotionless. At least, he gets upset when I get close to you. Regardless of the degree, it's clear that this method can seduce him."
