Silence in the Forest

It seemed that Wei Hong's act of killing to intimidate others made those cultivators who wanted to continue snatching the Evil-Slaying Talisman stop subconsciously. They dared not act rashly, for fear of encountering a ruthless person like Wei Hong.

As a result, the three or four hundred wandering cultivators in the mountains and forests became quiet again, and the atmosphere of conflict and plunder also dissipated.

But when Wei Hong sat down again as if nothing had happened, the eyes of many powerful groups looking at him were full of burning desire.

"Daoyou Wei is so decisive. I admire you!"

After Wei Hong sat down, Ding Xue beside him immediately gave him a thumbs up to express her admiration.

Wei Hong waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "He is just seeking death. Fellow Daoist Ding, don't be careless. You need to be vigilant at all times!"

"Don't worry, Brother Wei, I won't have to worry about it!" Ding Xue nodded.

Wei Hong said no more and leaned back against a big tree to close his eyes and rest.

After a moment, he opened his eyes again.

It was just because at this time a few more people walked towards Wei Hong, and they had no intention of hiding anything.

Ding Xue was nervous for a moment, but when she saw the hesitation and fear on those people's faces, she couldn't help but relax secretly and just maintained the most basic vigilance.

Wei Hong frowned. He didn't expect that someone would dare to approach him at this time.

It didn't look like he was ready to attack him.

When the men walked two meters away, Wei Hong frowned and said, "Fellow Daoists, please stop. If you have something to say, please talk about it. If you don't have anything to say, please don't get close to avoid misunderstandings!"

"Haha, fellow Taoist, please don't misunderstand me."

Among the five people, the slightly older man in the middle subconsciously stopped and said with a wry smile: "I wonder what is the name of this Taoist friend? My name is Han Zhicheng!"

"I am Qin Tian!"

Wei Hong stared at the people opposite him for a long time before coldly uttering a name.

It was impossible to reveal his real name at this time, so he just made up a name.

Ding Xue stood aside with an unchanged expression, but she was laughing secretly in her heart.

The old man named Han Zhicheng immediately bowed and said, "It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Qin. I am honored to meet you."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Wei Hong waved his hand impatiently and said coldly: "If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. I don't like beating around the bush!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Han Zhicheng smiled awkwardly, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "It's like this. This old man and these four fellow Taoists came together from the market town, supporting each other. We were able to get here thanks to the concerted efforts of the five of us."

"But we don't know what dangers we will encounter on the next journey, so the five of us would like to invite Fellow Daoist Qin and the other two to travel with us. We can help each other and this will greatly increase our chances of survival. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Qin?"

Obviously, these five people clearly wanted to recruit Wei Hong to join their group.

After seeing Wei Hong's powerful strength, there were naturally many people who had such thoughts, but Han Zhicheng and his four companions were the fastest to act. The others might still be secretly regretting that they were overtaken by Han Zhicheng and others!

But Wei Hong shook his head and refused without even thinking: "No need, fellow Taoists, please go back. Qin already has a companion, so there is no need to talk about companionship."

What a joke! With Wei Hong's strength and all the means he had prepared, he was not sure he could escape even with Ding Xue. Now he had to travel with Han Zhicheng and four others. Wasn't that just making himself a burden?

They want to find a backer, but Wei Hong is not that stupid.

Not to mention that Han Zhicheng and his companions just wanted to get something for nothing and didn't offer any benefits. Even if they offered a sky-high price, Wei Hong would never agree to it.

At a time like this, it would be good enough if you could ensure your own successful escape. If you still want to take others with you, that would be absolutely a stupid move.

As for Ding Xue, that was naturally different.

She has the treasure-hunting mouse Bai Ling in her hands. Bai Ling not only has a keen sense of smell, but also has a unique talent that allows him to find a glimmer of hope in the dark.

Maybe if they want to find a chance to survive in the second half of their journey, they will have to rely on the treasure-hunting mouse Bai Ling.

Therefore, even if it is a little troublesome, Wei Hong wants to take Ding Xue with him.

However, Han Zhicheng and others seemed to be completely unable to figure out these problems. When they heard Wei Hong's refusal, Han Zhicheng's face suddenly became embarrassed, and there was also a hint of anger and gloom.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, why don't you reconsider it? The cultivation of the five of us is not bad either. We support each other and will definitely not hold you back." Han Zhicheng continued to persuade with some hopelessness.

Wei Hong directly extended his hand to stop him and said: "No need to say more, fellow Taoist, please go back!"

Seeing that Wei Hong was so determined and there was no room for negotiation, although Han Zhicheng and the other four looked unhappy, when they thought of his brutal act of killing just now, they did not dare to say anything more and turned around and retreated to their original positions.

Seeing that Han Zhicheng and his four companions seemed to have failed to win over Wei Hong, the eyes of some other groups immediately lit up, realizing that they seemed to still have a chance, so after Han Zhicheng and his four companions returned, two more groups of people came to Wei Hong.

But without exception, faced with such unrealistic solicitations and invitations, Wei Hong rejected them all with an extremely indifferent attitude and did not give them any chance at all.

Ding Xue, who was watching the whole process, felt grateful again in her heart.

Fortunately, the treasure-hunting mouse Bai Ling in her hand was very powerful and was able to find the underground palace excavated by Wei Hong two years ago.

Fortunately, she was decisive enough and took out the family's unconventional method of building the foundation so that Wei Hong would protect her.

Fortunately, she has always kept herself in the right position, so at least she can be of some help to Wei Hong.

If not for this, how could she still sit safely in this forest.

After those groups of people who tried to win over Wei Hong left, Ding Xue couldn't help but sneer, "This is so funny, Fellow Daoist Wei, do you look like you're easy to fool? Why do those people only want to get something for nothing?"

"They are not willing to offer even the slightest bit of benefit, and they can't even make big promises, yet they still want to win over Fellow Daoist Wei as their backer. Are they out of their minds?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Hong looked at Ding Xue with a little surprise.

Regarding Ding Xue's evaluation, Wei Hong shook his head helplessly and thought: "People are just greedy. They want to seize every opportunity at this time, but they don't think about what they rely on!"

What Ding Xue could see clearly might also be seen clearly by those monks who came to win him over. It was just that those people were not sincere and did not want to pay any price at this time so as not to reduce their chances of survival.

They all just want to get something for free and don't want to pay.

How could they possibly get such a good thing!

"Oh, you are still plotting until now, you better wait for death!"

Wei Hong looked at those waves of monks as if they were dead people, and sneered in his heart.
