The woman in the purple skirt nodded and said, "We have been preparing to deal with that strange thing for a full month, and we have fought against it nine times before. Although we have not won once, we have accumulated a lot of experience. I believe You can also use these experiences, Master Lu."
"Uh, this..."
Lu Jing's hesitation made the originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly tense.
Including the woman in the purple skirt, the faces of all the academy disciples were more or less ugly.
Although Lu Jing did not reject the purple skirt woman's proposal to join forces on the spot, his hesitation itself could already indicate his attitude at the moment.
From the perspective of the woman in the purple skirt and others, Lu Jing certainly did not dislike having too many helpers, but rather wanted to monopolize that precious thing and did not want to share it equally with them, so it was difficult to join forces with them.
It's just that I can't say it directly because of the face of my classmates in the academy.
So soon, a cold snort came from the crowd.
That was a young man who was slightly younger than Lu Jing. This age is when a person is at his most vigorous. He couldn't bear any slightest contempt, even if the other person was the first person in the academy competition last time, and now there was something suspicious about him. There were rumors of perfect foundation building, but the young man did not show any fear.
He just stared and glared at Lu Jing.
They were among the first group of people to learn about that thing. They had tried to get it once before completing the Hundred Days Foundation Building, but failed. In the following three months, they had been thinking of ways to deal with that strange thing. , almost to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep.
After many efforts, many people gradually figured out the current plan.
It could be said that this plan was the culmination of all their hard work over a long period of time. Unexpectedly, at the last moment, Lu Jing suddenly appeared from nowhere and was also paying attention to that thing.
The young man was a little reluctant when the woman in the purple skirt said that as long as Lu Jing was willing, the two sides could join forces.
In his eyes, Lu Jing did nothing at all. Just because he came at the right time and was more famous, he finally picked the peach.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jing was not satisfied yet. From the look of that guy, he clearly wanted to kick them all away and take all the gains by himself.
So the young man stopped being polite and said to the woman in the purple skirt, "Infant Girl, let him do it by himself. I want to see what abilities he has. Is he really as strong as the rumors say? He can do it alone." Just put away that weird thing."
There was a strong smell of gunpowder in his words. Normally at this time, other people would rush out to smooth things over. However, perhaps because they were dissatisfied with Lu Jing's arrogance deep down in their hearts, this time everyone around him also unanimously maintained their stance. There was silence.
The woman in the purple skirt originally wanted to say something, but after seeing her companion's reaction, she could only close her mouth and sighed to Lu Jing.
"In that case, let's each rely on our abilities. Since you, Master Lu, are the ones who arrived first, you should be the first to try."
Lu Jing bowed his hand in thanks.
After that, the woman in the purple skirt and her companions walked aside. One of them drew a circle on the ground and recited a few spells. The shadows of the group gradually faded until they disappeared. .
Lu Jing also retracted back behind the rock. He didn't waste time and took advantage of the gap in the middle to practice sword control for a while.
It wasn't until he heard a rustling sound that he poked his head out to take a look again.
Although Ye Gongmei had been vaccinated before, Lu Jing couldn't help but swallow when he saw the real owner.
It was a giant python whose body length was estimated to be over ten feet.
Its head alone is about the size of a calf, and its whole body is made of rocks. Normally, as long as you find a cave and block the entrance with your head, no one will find it. .
This is also the reason why Lu Jing didn't encounter it last time.
According to Ye Gongmei, this stone python sleeps alone most of the time and only comes out when it is looking for food.
Moreover, its food is very simple, which is the unique red soil of Nightingale Valley, so it gets along well with the nightingales in the valley. However, Ye Gongmei warned Lu Jing not to take it lightly just because of its gentle nature.
Because the more honest people who don't lose their temper often have more serious consequences when they get angry.
Lu Jing asked Ye Gongmei again what he should pay attention to when fighting this stone python, but Ye Gongmei asked him to find it while fighting.
So when the woman in the purple skirt said that they had information about this ferocious beast, Lu Jing was indeed a little moved, but in the end he did not agree to the other party's proposal to join forces.
It wasn't because, as the young man thought, Lu Jing had too much self-aggrandizement to look down on them.
In fact, it was quite the opposite. When Lu Jing heard what they said was clear-cut, experienced and well-prepared, he was worried that if they subdued the beast as soon as they took action, he would be dumbfounded.
Therefore, Lu Jing would rather take action alone before them. No matter what, he must first use up all his secret power today and get through it safely. As for what happens next, he can only take it one step at a time. Who will be involved in this? What an unfortunate thing.
Of course, Lu Jing also knew that the woman in the purple skirt and her group might have misunderstood what he meant, but there was no way to explain this matter.
He couldn't say that he was just idle and aching, and came to this valley to fight powerful ferocious beasts. Winning or losing was not important. The key was to use up the secret power in the upper Dantian.
If he really said that, regardless of whether the other party would believe it or not, the feeling of Versailles that hit his face would probably only further intensify the conflict between the two parties.
By then, this group of people may not just talk to him with a few words, but may have to do it themselves.
So Lu Jing wisely kept silent.
He saw the giant stone python crawling to the edge of his formation, and then... he stopped, raised the snake's head, and looked around.
Combined with Zhizhi's previous actions, Lu Jing also realized that he was indeed far behind in the formation. The hidden knowledge of how to set up this formation was enough for him to study for a long time.
However, now that things have happened, it is too late to talk about this kind of thing. Lu Jing can only hope that the red soil in the formation will have an effect.
Fortunately, all living beings in this world, from the nine-five-year-old to the flies and grasshoppers, are unable to resist the temptation of food. The stone python was no exception. After hesitating for a moment, he finally climbed into the beast-taming formation. .
When Lu Jing saw this, he no longer felt sleepy and took out the array disk from his arms.
