"Did Sister Lingyu ask you to protect me?"

“......”

"It was Sister Lingyu's father who sent you to kill me?"

“！？......”

There was only half an hour left before the deadline for the rendezvous, and Xia Fan and Yuqi rushed at full speed to cross the grassland, but in front of them was a rocky wilderness.

Along the way, Xia Fan made all kinds of Ka chat flags, although the banners tried their best to avoid them, but they seemed to have been completely pinched by Xia Fan.

The wisdom of the banner is outstanding, but if you want to say that the mixed society is far worse than Xia Fan.

In Xia Fan's view, most women wear veils because they are beautiful, and most men wear veils because of low self-esteem.

The banner no longer posed any threat to Xia Fan.

Xia Fan recognized that the banner would not kill himself at all, Hui and Maijue, if he really wanted to kill, with the means of the banner, Xia Fan would have become a dead hedgehog long ago.

And it is obvious that the banner not only does not want to kill, but also wants to protect Xia Fan.

Think carefully about the people around you who care about you, and you still have the ability to mobilize a master like Lingqi, it is none other than Lingyu.

Coupled with the words of the blind old man two days ago, Xia Fan didn't have much brains to figure out the joints, it must be the people of the Long clan who were worried that they would affect Ling Yu's future, so they wanted to get rid of themselves.

And usually if you want to get rid of other men around a woman, in addition to the rival in love, it is the father.

"Don't be too complacent, I just want to see what is so special about you that makes the Lord and the princess care about you so much......"

Yu Qi didn't expect Xia Fan's scheming to be so keen, and he was exposed in front of him.

"It should be almost there, and if we pick up the pace, maybe we can catch it in time. ”

Xia Fan smiled and did not respond to the question of the banner, but urged the banner to say, "We have not encountered any enemies along the way, so we have caught up with a lot of time." ”

This section of the road is safe, and there is no one for a hundred miles, so Xia Fan is naturally relieved and bold to move forward at full speed.

"What are you doing in such a hurry, rushing to die?" said in a cold voice.

"You said there are enemies ahead?" Xia Fan said in surprise.

"Heh!" said with a cold smile, "Why do you think we haven't met anyone else for so long? Everyone was defeated by you? It's because we're lagging behind! At this time, people of similar strength have already arrived near the confluence of the signal mark. ”

Xia Fan understands that if he analyzes the situation on the battlefield, then he is definitely a hundred times more expert than himself.

"......," Xia Fan felt that the words of the banner made sense, "Then if we continue to move forward, we will encounter more enemies, and it will be difficult for us to catch up with the meeting time." ”

"Why do you have to catch the meeting time?" said Banner, "Didn't Amazing say that he would continue to signal after he acted?"

"Indeed, but why did he say it there?" Xia Fan had some doubts.

"Amazing Tuo didn't talk to us about the convergence before the departure of the Rising Smoke Pavilion, but chose to say it at the moment before entering the secret realm, and when there were hidden sealers all around, and the way this kind of signal was gathered was too eye-catching, it was not as secret and effective as those people who were in danger using sound transmission stones. ”

"Do you think the sound stone is so easy to get? I don't know how those scum got it. ”

Yu Qi said disapprehantly, "And do you really think that the Rising Smoke Pavilion is very principled? Rookie, mercenaries have no intentions, the water in this line is very muddy." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Xia Fan couldn't help but wonder.

"Don't always run on your mind, it never hurts to take a moment to stop and think about it. "There aren't many places that can get out of the Wanhua Secret Realm alive." ”

"Eighteen people at most. Xia Fan said.

"Then who decides who will go to the quota?" asked Yu Qi.

"Before entering the secret realm, it was the Rising Smoke Pavilion. Xia Fan said, "But after coming in, I'm afraid it will depend on who is stronger." ”

"Then who do you think is the strongest in this secret realm right now?" asked Yu Qi.

Xia Fan thought for a moment and said, "Among the people I know, I'm afraid it's still the three of them who are the strongest." ”

Xia Fan's words were just for Yu Qi, but in fact, in Xia Fan's heart, he still thought that Yin Chenyin and Blazing Yang would be stronger.

He was noncommittal and said, "Even if they are not the strongest, if the seal-bearer is not the one who holds the seal when he returns to the Rising Smoke Pavilion in the end, do you think the Rising Smoke Pavilion will give up? Of course, there are outlaws like Zhi Wei who don't pay attention to anything. ”

"......," Xia Fan said, "So the final decision is still in the hands of the people of the Rising Smoke Pavilion." ”

"So how should the Smoke Pavilion decide?" asked Yu Qi.

Xia Fan said suspiciously, "Haven't you already decided on a dozen of us?"

"That's right, but people don't guarantee that they will bring you back, Wanhua Secret Realm is unpredictable, and it's normal for a few people to die. "Since entering this secret realm, there is no difference between all the people, and they can compete fairly for the eighteen places." So that piercing signal was not just sent to a dozen of us, but to everyone. ”

Xia Fan seemed to understand something, and asked, "Then what do you have to rely on to compete? Fight each other to see who can survive to the end?"

"Fighting each other is just an inevitable part of it. "The quota for the final return trip belongs to the one with the highest price." ”

"Huh, the one with the highest price wins?" Xia Fan asked.

"To put it bluntly, it's money, valuable treasures, and the like, and whoever gives more will take it back. "If you don't take out a treasure of a certain value, even if you are the only one alive, people can choose not to take you away."

"That is to say, in addition to the five people in the Rising Smoke Pavilion, there are thirteen places, and only the first thirteen of the richest of them will be able to go back. Xia Fan thought for a while and said, "No, you are a person sent by the Long Clan, and they shouldn't dare to leave you, so there are only twelve places left for others." ”

"So the fifth princess hopes that I can bring you back too. ”

"Sister Lingyu naturally knew that this was boring for a long time. Xia Fan smiled with affection, "But why does the Shengyan Pavilion send a few more people and empty some places?

"You're a little sluggish in that regard. "No matter how many places are left in the end, the amount of treasure received by the Rising Smoke Pavilion will be the same. ”

Xia Fan suddenly figured it out.

"You never know how much wealth you have in the person competing for a spot, so everyone will do everything they can to make their wealth more than the other, and the surest way is to kill the other person and steal the money. Therefore, the treasures that are finally brought into this secret realm, as well as the treasures found during the exploration, will be merged into the bodies of the few people who survive in the end, so even if there is only one return place in the end, the Rising Smoke Pavilion will get all the treasures here. ”

"You're very responsive. The flag said lightly.

"In this way, it is very shameful to raise the smoke pavilion. Xia Fan was a little angry, and said, "Aren't they afraid of losing their reputation? That's the Dongzhou Continent Mercenary General Guild!"

"Rookie, you also said that it was the Mercenary General Guild. Attention, 'mercenary', don't forget what a mercenary is when you're in it, mercenaries have no intention. Besides, only those who go out in the end have the opportunity to speak, and what the living say is the 'truth', and no one can prove what happened in the secret realm. ”

"......" Xia Fan fully accepted Qiqi's statement, and also admired Qiqi's clear thinking.

At this point, Xia Fan could only accept the status quo for the time being, and asked to Yuqi, "Then according to what you mean, there is no need for us to rush to the meeting on time?"

"Rest assured, they will wait until they are sure that this place is no longer profitable before they leave this secret place. "Said the flag.

"Then let's be cautious and try to avoid encountering people. Xia Fan said.

As they spoke, the two of them had already gone deep into the rocky wilderness, and seeing the complicated terrain around them, Xia Fan still decided to be careful, after all, he had encountered a strong enemy like Zhi Wei and Crazy Yang before.

"Wait, there's a situation ahead!" At this time, the old man suddenly informed Xia Fan that there was someone in front of him.

Xia Fan and Yu Qi hid their bodies and leaned forward for some distance, and found that there were people fighting in the rocky ground in front of them!

Among them, Xia Fan recognized that it was the winner of his group, Yang Bang, and the new Shenghao mercenary of the Shengyan Pavilion named Tie Zhao, and the three of them were caught in the melee of more than a dozen people at this time!

"What's going on?" Xia Fan couldn't understand the situation at all, and couldn't distinguish the positions of everyone in the scuffle, but at least the three people he knew didn't attack each other.

"Probably an encounter, right?" said in a deep voice, "If those three people are counted as one group, the remaining ones are at least two groups. Maybe those three people weren't together in the first place, but they met each other in the process of being chased and killed, and anything could happen here!"

The Banner's observation of the battle situation is very subtle, and the real situation is similar to what the Banner expected.

"We have to go up and help!" Xia Fan said.

Banner nodded and said, "Then let's separate." ”

"Hmm, hmm?" Xia Fan looked at Yuqi in surprise, confused by his sudden words.

"Don't panic. Yu Qi said lightly, "Those people in front are not your opponents, you first find the man in the gray coat to fight, and then deal with the bald strong man, you will win soon." ”

The banner pointed to Xia Fan, and then said, "Then you will walk with the three of them, I am not suitable to show up, it is better to act in secret, and the archers are like this." Later, we can use the sound transmission stone to contact, but you have to be careful not to be discovered, otherwise it will arouse unnecessary suspicion. ”

“...... All right. Xia Fan did not object.

Yu Qi looked at Xia Fan, and suddenly said, "Do you trust me?"

Xia Fan was stunned for a moment and nodded, "Hmm." ”

Qi Qi sighed and said seriously to Xia Fan, "Rookie, no one can trust here, you can only believe in yourself." Everyone wants to get out alive, but it can't be everyone out alive, so everyone is doing whatever it takes to get out alive. Only by believing in yourself can you survive to the end. ”

"I believe in myself. Xia Fan said seriously, "I also believe in Sister Lingyu, so I also believe in you." ”

"......" Qiqi was silent for a moment, "Let's go." ”

"Hmm. Xia Fan didn't say a word, got up and ran towards the melee crowd.

Hidden behind a boulder, he sighed and muttered to himself, "Alas, it's really troublesome......

"Drink!"

Xia Fan rushed into the melee like a swift wind, and according to what Yu Qi said, he first found the man in the gray coat, and directly shattered the man's true yuan with a heavy sword! Tie Zhao, who was fighting against him before, saw the situation and directly smashed the gray coat man's chest with a heavy punch!

Xia Fan ran to the bald strong man again, and the strong man couldn't parry the "star thunder and lightning traces", and he couldn't catch Xia Fan's speed at all.

Sure enough, as expected by the banner, as soon as the two died, the others were instantly defeated, and they were fighting each other!

Coupled with the liberation of the three strong men of Shengxiang, Yangbang, and Tiezhao, the situation soon became clear, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and in the end, only Xia Fan and the four were still standing.

"Thank you little brother Xia Fan for coming to help!" Victory thanked him boldly, and so did Yang Bang and Tie Zhao.

"You haven't been able to reach the meeting place yet?" Xia Fan asked.

"Alas, it's unlucky enough to say it!" said Shengxiang dejectedly, "as soon as his grandmother came in, she found that she was far away from the signal, and there were ambushes everywhere on the way of the dog, and Lao Tzu was chasing and killing them while rushing here, and he met the two of them." ”

Yang Bang and Tie Zhao were in a similar situation, except that the two happened to meet halfway through.

"What are we going to do now?" asked Young.

Tie Zhao said, "The time limit for the convergence is not in time, but we still have to go in that direction." ”

"Yes, there's no other way. "Victory.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, a huge dragon symbol lit up in the sky, and twelve hours had passed......
