The figure of the old man slowly dissipated, and Ji Fan knew that he had completely disappeared from this world.

Ji Fan heard the movement behind him, turned his head to look, and it was Zheng Hu, who had fainted, who woke up.

"How could we faint?" Zheng Hu asked as he looked at Ji Fan in front of him in a daze.

"Don't talk about this yet, take Xu Ying with you, let's get out of here quickly!" Ji Fan looked at Zheng Hu who was puzzled, and pointed to the passage on the opposite wall.

He didn't intend to answer Zheng Hu's question, he couldn't say that there was an old man hidden in the sword and helped him open the passage!

Zheng Hu came to the passage and muttered, "This should be a stone wall, how could this passage appear out of nowhere?" At the same time, his eyes looked at Ji Fan vigilantly, as well as Xu Ying on Ji Fan's shoulder, but he focused more on the sword in Ji Fan's hand, and he saw the scene of nameless absorption of thunder, and he vaguely felt that this passage was likely to be stabbed by the sword.

However, he immediately shook his head again, and stabbed such a passage with his sword, what kind of strength should it be?

Ji Fan didn't pay attention to him, and walked in front by himself, he had to leave this ghost place quickly. The old man's sword light pierced the earth's crust, and the movement was definitely not small, if it was discovered by some spirit beasts, or happened to find this passage and blocked the door, then the three of them would have a lot of trouble.

"Let's get out of here first," Ji Fan glanced back at Zheng Hu, who was stunned, "We're not out of danger yet." ”

Zheng Hu came to his senses and hurriedly followed Ji Fan, he felt that it was all related to Ji Fan, Ji Fan had the strength to take them away, this was a good thing, he faintly felt that Ji Fan had a secret, but that was not something he should know.

At this time, Zheng Hu remembered the thunder pool, but he shook his head helplessly, is that kind of thing in the thunder pool really something he can touch? Even if he uses the thunder in the pool to quench his body, it will have no effect on him. The most important thing now is to leave this ghost place as Ji Fan said.

The three of them followed the slippery, dark passage to the entrance of the cave.

Ji Fan hesitated for a moment, and after carefully investigating for a while, he nodded and signaled to the two of them: It's safe outside, come out quickly.

Xu Ying, the girl, woke up halfway through the passage, but due to lack of concentration, she fell in the passage, broke her foot, and walked out with the support of Zheng Hu.

"Can you find out where we are?" Ji Fan took Xu Ying and looked at Zheng Hu.

Zheng Hu looked around for a moment and pointed to the southeast, "We should be in the northeast of the Thunder Three-Eyed Lion Valley, and we should be able to see the walls of Spirit Beast City after walking to the southeast for a few hours." ”

"Be careful, after all, you're still in the Spirit Beast Forest!" Ji Fan looked at Zheng Hu and glanced at Xu Ying again, "Can you go?"

Xu Ying shook her head, although she had escaped at this time, this little girl was still reluctant to talk more, as if the shadow in her heart had not dissipated.

Ji Fan had no choice but to carry her on his back.

Xu Ying was also very well-behaved, buried her head on Ji Fan's shoulder, and did not complain about the bumps along the way, which made Ji Fan very pleased.

The three of them were very lucky, they met a mercenary team halfway, and the other party also knew Zheng Hu, Zheng Hu and the captain Xu Feng explained Xu Ying's identity, and then agreed to return to Spirit Beast City with the team.

The three of them joined this mercenary team, and Ji Fan immediately felt that all the mercenaries were glancing towards him.

"It's all because of Miss Xu Ying. The mercenary captain came to Ji Fan's side and handed them some food and water.

"I am the captain of the mercenary team, Xu Feng, and I have some friendship with Zheng Hu. I'm sorry for the news of the total annihilation of the Crimson Mercenaries. ”

Ji Fan nodded, "Isn't it often like this in your business?"

"And Captain Wang Kan may still be alive. ”

Ji Fan took the food and water, he kept a small part, and gave the rest to Xu Ying.

Xu Ying also took it, at this time, this little girl was physically and mentally exhausted, and there was something that could make her recover faster.

Xu Feng listened to Ji Fan's words, fell into thought, and then sighed, "But as the captain of the mercenary, even if he can return to the Spirit Beast City, it will be difficult to find a place to stay!"

"Why? If the mission fails, there is no place for him?"

Xu Feng sighed, "The matter of the mercenary group, you naturally don't know, once the mission fails, there is no chance to make up for it, there is only one of the four young people of the Xu family, do you think the Xu family will let him go?"

Ji Fan understood what Xu Feng meant, three Spirit Rain Realm cultivators, leading forty or fifty mercenaries, such a lineup, it should have been very easy to complete the task of quenching the body, but in the end, only a few people came out.

No matter what the reason, it is impossible to hide the fact that this mission failed, and Wang Kan, as the captain, needs to bear most of the responsibility.

His survival is likely to be criticized as escaping, but Ji Fan knows that Wang Kan has actually done his best. But the appearance of the Ice Plain Demon Wolf changed everything.

Thinking of this, Ji Fan's heart was a little depressed, Wang Kan gave him a good impression, he still remembered that this guy said that if this mission was completed, he could still change careers and go to the Xu family to seek a position, but now, all this has come to naught.

Xu Ying heard the conversation between the two, her eyes lowered, she was not too young, she also knew some things, and naturally knew that they were talking about the mercenary captain with a scar on his face.

"Alright, rest a little longer, we're on our way. Xu Feng stood up from Ji Fan's side.

Ji Fan put those tedious things behind, simply ate and drank water, followed Xu Feng's mercenary team, and headed for Spirit Beast City.

Maybe it was because the mercenary team was numerous, or maybe there were no powerful spirit beasts on the periphery of this spirit beast forest, and along the way, they were basically unhindered, and the three of them crossed the city wall and separated from Xu Feng's mercenary team.

"Zheng Hu, you send Xu Ying back to the Xu family! I know very little about the families in the city, and I don't know the location of the Xu family. Ji Fan glanced at Zheng Hu, saw him nodded, and then came to Xu Ying's side, "Take care." ”

"Do we have a chance to see each other again?" Xu Ying saw that Ji Fan was leaving, and hurriedly grabbed the corner of Ji Fan's clothes, her impression of Ji Fan was really good.

"Yes, definitely. Ji Fan said with a smile.

Xu Ying knew that she couldn't keep Ji Fan, so she had to let Ji Fan go.

Ji Fan said goodbye to the two of them and walked towards the previous inn, it had been three days since he left, and he didn't know if Xiao Jian was still in the inn. Tomorrow is the Spirit Beast Festival, Ji Fan wants to take advantage of tonight to investigate the harvest of the past few days, and at the same time see if he can break through to the late stage of the Spirit Mountain Realm, and the battle with the Ice Domain Demon Wolf and the Thunder Three-Eyed Lion has given him a lot more experience, and he has faintly touched a higher threshold. Sure enough, fighting is the most powerful way to increase cultivation.

After passing through the central city and driving for more than an hour, Ji Fan came to the inn before. As soon as he stepped onto the second floor, he heard a familiar voice.

"Tomorrow is the Spirit Animal Festival, and I'm going to see him now!"

"Auntie, I really don't know where he went!"
