2275: Knocking On Her Door

Knocking On Her Door

When she sensed that the surrounding coldness and gloominess had disappeared, and the looming shadows had also disappeared, she moved her palm and retracted her breath, then the gourd in midair returned to her hand. 2

Upon seeing that the bell on her waist was no longer ringing, her lips curled and she smiled. 

It was a good treasure indeed!

She shrunk the gourd and hung it back on her waist again. She sat down by the fire again and rested against the big tree. Apart from this incident, the rest of the night was quite peaceful. Perhaps it was because no cultivators came into this forest and the fierce beasts daren't approach Feng Jiu, therefore, she didn't encounter any danger here. 

When the sky gradually lightened, she extinguished the fire. As she was about to leave, she heard the sound of fighting. 

"There's someone here?" She was slightly surprised. She lifted up on her toes and swept towards the sound. About five hundred metres away, she saw the scene ahead. 

It was a team of about seven or eight people, they seemed to be loose cultivators. The strength of these people was that of an early level or mid level Immortal Sacred stage. The clothes on their bodies were tattered and their bodies were covered in wounds. At this time, they were besieged by the group of fierce beasts and the golden leopard that she had seen before. 

Logically speaking, based on the strength of those people, it shouldn't be a problem dealing with those beasts. However, the physical strength of those people seemed a little weak, and their combative power was not good enough. Upon further observation, those people looked like men in their forties or fifties, amongst them were even a couple who were two elderly men in their sixties. Although they were all males, their faces were pale, their bodies were weak and they lacked pace. It was obvious that those people were experiencing the symptoms of malnutrition. 

They had the strength of the Immortal Sacred level but they were actually experiencing symptoms of malnutrition? It was strange. 

Though she was slightly surprised, she didn't reveal her presence. She observed in the dark for a while. They were a little different from the other cultivators she had encountered in the past who only cared about themselves. They had joined efforts to deal with the fierce beasts together. 

When she thought of this, her heart moved slightly. She was just thinking of recruiting people! These people had come knocking on her door. They were neither devilry cultivators nor evil cultivators. Although their bodies had a strong scent of evil, at least they could be of use to her!

When one of the elders in their group had been knocked over by a fierce beast, and that fierce beast's mouth grinned wide open showing its sharp teeth, another forty year old man rushed forwards immediately and smashed the fierce beast with his body. He guarded the old man and the knife in his hand swung out at the fierce beast that rushed at him from the other side. He stabbed the fierce beast and took its life.

"Roar!"

At the same time shrill cries sounded, the fierce beast also roared. It struggled to fight again, but in the end, it fell down after two steps. 

Perhaps it was the bloody scent of the fierce beast that had stimulated the other fierce beasts, hence the group of fierce beasts attacked even more fiercely. Even the golden leopard roared and bit one of the cultivators. 

"Arghhhh!"

One of the cultivator's legs had been bitten and blood gushed out like water from a spring. His clothes were stained with blood. 

Upon seeing this, Feng Jiu frowned. She took out her dagger and threw it at the leopard. The sharp blade was engulfed with strong killing intent as it flew through the air. In light of the sudden danger, the leopard was startled and instantly loosened its grip on the cultivator's thigh. It backed away quickly to avoid the dagger and at the same time, it looked at the person who threw the dagger.
