In the blink of an eye, the figure disappeared before Bai Li Hong Zhuang's eyes.
Bai Li Hong Zhuang took the white lion from her shoulder and the white lion looked at her with a big smile, rubbing against her happily, clearly expecting a reward.
However, Bai Li Hong Zhuang slapped the white lion's head with a fierce expression and said, "Just a roar would have solved everything. You nearly made me jump off the cliff!"
Now thinking back, she wondered what kind of despair and struggle she had gone through earlier. This little guy had a way to resolve it, but why didn't he use it earlier?
The white lion, who had expected to be rewarded, suddenly received a slap and instantly pouted. Its big watery eyes filled with mist once again.
The small body curled up in Bai Li Hong Zhuang's arms, looking pitiful beyond measure.
Although she knew that this guy was pretending to be pitiful, Bai Li Hong Zhuang still couldn't help but feel sorry for it. She handed the white lion the demon crystal she had obtained from the Iron Armored Rhinoceros.
In the moment the white lion saw the demon crystal, the metallic mist in its eyes dissipated, and its entire eyes sparkled. It eagerly took the demon crystal and started gnawing on it.
Indeed... this guy was pretending to be pitiful!
Bai Li Hong Zhuang placed the white lion back on her shoulder. Her own crisis had been resolved, but she wondered how Gong Shaoqing and the others were doing.
Just as Bai Li Hong Zhuang was preparing to leave, a faint sound reached her ears. Her deep phoenix eyes flashed with a cold light—there were people here!
Her elemental energy surged, and Bai Li Hong Zhuang prepared for a battle as she walked toward the source of the noise.
Behind the peak of the mountain, a huge rock obstructed her view. Obviously, the other party was hiding behind this rock!
"Who's there?" her voice was cold and chilly, laced with a warning. Bai Li Hong Zhuang's gaze fell upon the boulder.
"Miss, I am merely seeking refuge from the tide of monstrous beasts," a deep and hoarse voice came from behind the rock. Bai Li Hong Zhuang raised an eyebrow.
From this voice, she could discern a hint of weakness. It seemed that the other party was injured, and... the injuries were not light!
Her ink-black eyes concealed a sharpness. She wasn't willing to expose the secret of the white lion to others.
With her Blue Ice Sword held in her hand, Bai Li Hong Zhuang slowly circled around to the back of the boulder.
In her line of sight, a man leaned against the rock, his long black hair cascading down like a waterfall. His handsome face resembled a meticulously carved work of art, with arched eyebrows and deep, cold, resolute eyes that were as profound as black holes.
He wore a black soft robe that exuded a deep and profound aura, with silver threads weaving auspicious cloud patterns, giving it a luxurious yet understated appearance.
The man's robe was slightly open, revealing delicate collarbones and a sexy jawline. Lowering her gaze, at the location of his chest, the scarlet blood had already stained the robe.
With just one glance, Bai Li Hong Zhuang understood that the man's injury was severe.
However, even in such a condition, a smile appeared at the corner of the man's mouth.
This smile was cold, fierce, and chilling, but there was no denying that it still exuded a different kind of charm on his handsome face.
In any case, this man was dangerous!
Bai Li Hong Zhuang instinctively knew that this man was not simple, and she had no intention of getting involved with him. It would be better to leave.
Just as Bai Li Hong Zhuang was about to turn and leave, the cold and icy voice sounded, "Woman, how about we make a deal?"
The ink-black eyes of Mo Yunjue, deep as black holes, flashed with a glint of interest. He found it very intriguing when Bai Li Hong Zhuang appeared with the white lion.
