For Yun Xiao, although Lei Qingqing was his teammate before, they have already gone their separate ways. He has no obligation to protect the other party all the time. At present, Lei Qingqing's crisis is lifted, and everyone is still on their own. No one needs to take care of anyone else.
"Hey, why are you like this? I am a girl alone. Are you really willing to let me take risks alone?"
Hearing that Yun Xiao wants to part ways with her, Lei Qingqing's face shows anxiety immediately and grabs Yun Xiao's arm.
She has been pampered since childhood. When has she ever experienced such a situation? To be honest, after experiencing this incident of being chased by the Gray Ape, she is really scared.
"Miss Lei means that just because I saved your life, I have to be responsible for you for the rest of my life?" Rolling his eyes, Yun Xiao is completely indifferent to Lei Qingqing's words. He doesn't regard the other party as an ordinary girl. You know, this one is the daughter of the master of Leiyun Mansion. There are countless unknown means on her body!
"You... Who said you are responsible for me for a lifetime." Hearing Yun Xiao's words, Lei Qingqing's pretty face turns even redder. She glances at Yun Xiao reproachfully. "I know you are very powerful. Why don't you take me out of Jinshi Mountain? I can give you remuneration."
She seldom has the experience of going into the mountains. In fact, if she only relies on her own strength, she simply cannot walk out of this Jinshi Mountain.
"Remuneration? Tsk tsk, then tell me, what remuneration can you give me?"
Raising his eyebrows, Yun Xiao is also interested. Only then does he realize that the girl in front of him is the daughter of the master of Leiyun Mansion. Now that he has saved the other party's life, it's not a big deal to ask for some reward.
Moreover, the location where they are currently located is basically about to leave the core area of Jinshi Mountain. Once they leave the core area, there is basically no danger in the periphery. Even if he takes Lei Qingqing with him, it's not a problem.
"I... I can give you all these." After a little hesitation, Lei Qingqing raises her hand. Then, there are more than twenty token keepsakes in her hand, as many as twenty or so.
She had been searching for token keepsakes everywhere with the team before. Everyone had more than twenty on them. However, now she has completely recognized He Bi and others. Naturally, she won't continue to cooperate with those people. These more than twenty token keepsakes are of no significance to her.
"Token keepsakes?" Seeing what the other party takes out, Yun Xiao's eyes light up. Without hesitation, he takes it from the other party's hand. "Not bad. But it's just barely enough to be considered as the remuneration for saving your life. If you want me to take you out, such a little remuneration is not enough."
In this world, nothing is more valuable than life. He saved the other party's life this time. Taking more than twenty token keepsakes from the other party is also reasonable. Moreover, for Lei Qingqing, such a few token keepsakes are really not of much use.
"How can you be like this? Are you really willing to leave a girl alone in the deep mountains?"
Hearing that Yun Xiao is still not satisfied, Lei Qingqing can't help wrinkling her nose. In her beautiful eyes like stars, there is actually a faint layer of mist rising. Looking at this situation, she is about to cry.
In fact, when she joined Leiyun College this time, she didn't bring any treasures with her. The only valuable divine sword was also lost during the previous escape. Now Yun Xiao asks her for remuneration. She really can't think of what she can give!
If Yun Xiao really leaves her here alone, she is really afraid of being eaten by magical beasts. The more she thinks about these things, the more scared she becomes.
"Uh, this..."
Seeing that Lei Qingqing is about to shed tears while talking, Yun Xiao suddenly feels a big headache. He never thought that the jewel in the palm of the master of Leiyun Mansion would have such a vulnerable side.
But now think about it, the other party is just a young girl. She has just walked through the gate of hell. She is probably still in a state of shock. His approach seems really excessive.
"Okay, okay. I'll take you out, okay? As for the remuneration, I don't want it." He can't stand seeing girls cry the most. Moreover, he never thought of leaving the other party behind.
"Really?" Hearing that Yun Xiao agrees to take her out of Jinshi Mountain, Lei Qingqing immediately smiles through tears and says happily.
"Would I lie to a woman?" Glancing at the other party unhappily, Yun Xiao continues, "You should hurry up and recover your strength. For the rest of the journey back, everything must be done according to what I say. Otherwise, I can't guarantee to bring you out alive."
"Yes, yes. I will follow your arrangements." Yun Xiao agreeing to take her out has already made her very happy. As for how to act, of course she will listen to Yun Xiao's arrangements.
Although she hasn't had much contact with Yun Xiao, she knows very well that Yun Xiao not only has strong strength but also has calmness and courage far beyond his peers. In this regard, even the genius of the Wu family can't compare with him. So, following Yun Xiao's arrangements is not a shameful thing for her.
Sitting cross-legged, she quickly recovers her strength. After all, she can't always let Yun Xiao carry her and hurry.
"Quite obedient." Seeing Lei Qingqing start to recover her strength while talking, Yun Xiao can't help shaking his head and smiling. He is quite satisfied with the attitude of this Miss Lei family.
"I also need to recover quickly. I don't know if there will be any unknown dangers later. It's better to maintain the best state."
After Lei Qingqing starts to recover, Yun Xiao hesitates a little and then sits cross-legged as well and carefully recovers his strength.
During the previous escape, his consumption was extremely great. At this moment, the one hundred and eight acupoints all over his body are almost empty. Before taking action again, he must practice back the consumed true essence power as much as possible so as to deal with possible dangers at any time.
The Dragon-Capturing Technique rotates rapidly. Immediately, the one hundred and eight acupoints all over the body start to connect. A trace of five-element true essence slowly condenses under the effect of the technique. Although it's a bit slow, it is indeed recovering.
At present, there is still relatively sufficient time. In addition, the place where he stays is a bush. The safety factor is still quite high. Moreover, he has spiritual power. The distance within one hundred and fifty meters around is basically under his control. Even if there is danger approaching, he can detect it at the first time and quickly respond.
In this way, the two young people rely on each other and quietly recover their respective consumption. After almost a whole hour, Yun Xiao opens his eyes first and is almost recovered. As for Lei Qingqing, she obviously hasn't recovered yet and probably needs some time.
Yun Xiao's Dragon-Capturing Technique is difficult to practice, but the effect is also remarkable. With such a large consumption, if it were someone else, it would probably take at least half a day to recover. But he only needs an hour to recover almost completely. The efficiency is really astonishing.
"It seems that this young lady really consumed a lot. She hasn't recovered after such a long time." Looking at Lei Qingqing beside him, Yun Xiao finds that this young lady is completely relaxed and immersed in cultivation. The originally pale face has now recovered a little bit of rosiness.
"Anyway, there is still plenty of time. Let her continue to recover. When she fully recovers her strength, the journey back can become much easier."
After a little thought, he finally decides not to wake the other party for the time being but give the other party sufficient time to recover her physical strength.
There are only the last three days left in the grand competition. But he knows clearly that in these last three days, no one can continue to collect token keepsakes. At present, what everyone is most eager for is probably to find a way to return outside. This can be seen from Lei Qingqing's team.
Counting Lei Qingqing's gift just now, he has a total of one hundred and seventy-eight token keepsakes on him, almost one-fifth of all the token keepsakes in this grand competition. If such a quantity still can't win the first place, he really has nothing to say.
Since there is no need to worry about token keepsakes, then in the last less than three days, the only thing he needs to consider is to return outside. And for him who has rich jungle living experience, this is really not a difficult thing.
Almost another two full hours passed. The scorching sun has begun to slowly set. Lei Qingqing finally recovers her strength and wakes up slowly.
"You woke up long ago?"
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Yun Xiao guarding beside her and subconsciously asked.
"Just a little earlier than you." With a slight smile, Yun Xiao doesn't want to dwell on this matter too much. "Yes, it seems that you should have fully recovered. Next, you don't need me to carry you and walk, right?"
Because of the urgency of the situation before, he didn't have the mind to feel Lei Qingqing's well-developed figure. Now it seems that although this Miss Lei family is not very old, she has curves in all the right places. Any man who sees her will probably secretly swallow saliva several times.
"Who wants you to carry me and walk." Hearing Yun Xiao mention this matter, Lei Qingqing's pretty face turns red immediately and quickly changes the topic. "What should we do next? Are we going to spend the night here?"
Judging from the current sky, it will be night soon. It gets dark quickly in the mountains. Once it gets dark, everyone must find a safe place to stop. Otherwise, just wait to be eaten as midnight snacks by magical beasts!
"This is not a good place. I definitely can't sleep if I spend the night here." Shaking his head, Yun Xiao obviously has already made arrangements. "See that dense forest ahead? Before it gets dark, we have to rush there and set up camp. We will continue on our way tomorrow morning."
"Okay, anyway, whatever you say, I'll do it." Lei Qingqing certainly won't object. Pouting, she has an expression of resignation. Speaking of which, Yun Xiao is her savior. In front of Yun Xiao, she is no longer as aloof as before and has completely recovered her usual lively and active state. When she speaks, she is also very playful.
In fact, this state of hers will only be revealed in front of her closest people. Only she herself didn't notice it.
With a plan, the two immediately start to act. With the strength of the two of them, in less than half an hour, they come to the dense forest that Yun Xiao has observed.
This dense forest is on a depression. Looking from a distance, it seems to be just some low trees. But in fact, all the trees in the entire dense forest are very tall and grow very densely.
Yun Xiao took Lei Qingqing for a walk around and finally chose an extremely tall and dense giant tree. After choosing the target, Yun Xiao went up the tree first and started to build the tree house for tonight.
Speaking of which, he has spent every night on a tree during this month. Because only on a tree can he rest at ease without worrying about being disturbed by magical beasts.
Unlike other teams, because they have a large number of people, they can take turns to keep watch at night and so on. He is only one person. Of course, he must ensure the safety at night.
This time building a tree house is a little different from before because Lei Qingqing is added this time. He must build a larger tree house.
Before long, a simple temporary tree house takes shape in his hands. After it is built, he calls Lei Qingqing up to enjoy the fruits of his labor together.
"Wow, I can't see that you actually have this ability?!"
Coming to the temporary tree house built by Yun Xiao, Lei Qingqing is completely amazed by the small tree house in front of her. Only then does she find that this guy who saved her life actually has so many unknown skills.
"How is it? Are you satisfied?"
Seeing his labor achievement being recognized, Yun Xiao is also very happy. "Tonight, we two will rest here. I guarantee you can sleep well."
"I have never slept on a tree before!"
With a smile on her face, Lei Qingqing suddenly looks forward to the coming night.
