Chapter 215: Big Brother Xiao is a Good Person

"No, I'm very short on resources… After all, the last main ingredient for refining the heaven mending pill is still missing, and I need to prepare more of the materials like chanxin leather and Red Fire Dried Stalk… What if I fail the refinement once? That's right, I'm poor!"

Xiao Fan muttered to himself, the more he thought about it, the more it made sense… He had found a good excuse for himself.

He was poor, and he was short on money.

At this time, besides Senior Brother Yang Qi and Senior Brother Ren Hao, the other injured Disciples had barely managed to stand up and were walking towards him one after another.

What had just happened left them in awe; they never dreamed that there would be Tongtian Realm Disciples lying in ambush underwater!

If it weren't for Xiao Fan, they would likely have lost their eligibility and been teleported out by now.

"Xiao, Xiao Fan, what should we do next?"

Senior Brother Yang Qi and Senior Brother Ren Hao stepped forward and asked cautiously, their gazes filled with unease.

The strength Xiao Fan had displayed left them astounded…

A single person had easily dealt with two first-layer Tongtian Realm Outer Sect Disciples!

And scared one away!

What kind of strength was this?

Even for a cross-realm challenge, this was beyond any normal logic…

"Next?"

Hearing this, Xiao Fan pondered for a moment, but then thinking something was off, he asked in confusion, "Wasn't I following you guys? Why are you asking me instead?"

Yang Qi: "…"

Ren Hao: "…"

The two of them were also speechless; after all, in this group now, Xiao Fan was the real 'thigh' to cling to.

Additionally, at this moment, the two of them truly didn't know how to proceed.

"We originally planned to stay on the periphery first, look for any lone Disciples, and then seize their tokens… but it turned out like this…"

Senior Brother Yang Qi spoke, his expression a bit awkward.

After all, their group hadn't even encountered a single lone Disciple yet, and they had almost been completely wiped out.

If not for Xiao Fan… against three first-layer Tongtian Realm experts, he and Senior Brother Ren Hao would have been doomed this time.

Xiao Fan nodded, then glanced at the injured crowd.

These people's injuries ranged from light to heavy, and for some, even traveling had become a problem.

He thought for a moment and said, "Let's find a place to rest first. With so many people injured, it's impossible to go anywhere else."

Senior Brother Yang Qi and Senior Brother Ren Hao naturally had no objections; this had been their plan as well.

In Xiao Fan's view, the first few days were basically busywork for nothing; it would be better to catch a few 'big fish' in the final days…

Wouldn't it be better to wait until others had finished most of the looting and then intercept them?

Wait, that's not right…

"After others finish looting, they'll definitely only want the points and tokens; they certainly wouldn't dare to take the Storage Pouches… If that's the case, I'll seemingly miss out on a lot…"

Xiao Fan was currently leaving the lakeside with the group, intending to re-enter the dense forest, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Indeed, waiting until the last few days to go out and fight people was a good idea, but he would lose the opportunity to snatch Storage Pouches.

One must know that there were over five thousand Outer Sect Disciples in here…

To become an Outer Sect Disciple, none of them were lacking in personal wealth.

"No… I can't bear this!"

Xiao Fan thought it over and decided he still had to leave; he couldn't just sit and wait.

By now, the group had reached a clearing in the forest to rest, and the injured Disciples had already taken Medicinal Pills to regulate their breathing.

Xiao Fan walked up to Senior Brother Yang Qi and Senior Brother Ren Hao and said, "I'm leaving."

"Xiao, Xiao Fan, you're leaving?"

The two were stunned, and the rest of the injured Disciples were also stunned upon hearing this…

If Xiao Fan left, wouldn't the 'thigh' of their small team be gone?

Then what would they do?

If they encountered a powerful enemy, their group would be finished.

Xiao Fan looked at the crowd, thought for a moment, and said, "Given your current situation, it's impossible to continue traveling or fighting. Instead of that, it's better to hide here for seven days."

"Once the seven days are up, the Secret Realm trial will end, and the points will be tallied. If more than a hundred people have been eliminated by then, you might still have a chance."

"So, what you need to do is survive for seven days, and after I leave, I will do my best to eliminate the others."

Hearing Xiao Fan's words, the expressions of the Disciples shifted repeatedly…

From initial despair and disappointment to subsequent excitement and agitation…

"Xiao Fan—no, Big Brother Xiao, are you telling the truth?"

"Big Brother Xiao, you wouldn't lie to us, would you…"

"Big Brother Xiao, do we really still have a chance?"

"…"

The gazes of all the injured Disciples fell on Xiao Fan, as did those of Senior Brother Yang Qi and Senior Brother Ren Hao.

Xiao Fan nodded: "If you can survive for seven days, then you still have a chance."

"Thank you… Thank you, Big Brother Xiao!"

"Big Brother Xiao, you really are a good person."

"Before, rumors outside said you were The Terror, and I actually believed it. Looking at you now, Big Brother Xiao, you really are a good person."

"…"

The Disciples were moved and expressed their gratitude to Xiao Fan one after another…

They believed that Xiao Fan was leaving to eliminate others specifically to look out for them.

After all, they couldn't even move right now and couldn't do anything at all…

Xiao Fan: "…"

In fact, he just wanted to find an excuse to leave and then go rob Storage Pouches.

After all, among these Outer Sect Disciples, the strongest were only in the Tongtian Realm.

Even with only one arm, he feared no one.

Actually, there was one more point that Xiao Fan himself didn't realize: when he defeated Xiao Tian without killing him and decided to let go of their past grudges and leave…

Unknowingly, his state of mind had already changed.

If it were before, he wouldn't have bothered to find an excuse before leaving!
