Chapter 2678: Niu Kai’s Scheme

Lan Gu, Song Rui, and Niu Kai continued to follow Xiao Fan forward…

The journey was calm and peaceful; they had not encountered any danger at all.

"Something is wrong…" Xiao Fan muttered inwardly. From the very beginning until now, he had consistently felt that there was something wrong with Niu Kai.

Ever since they parted ways with Sun Cheng and Niu Kai chose to follow him, Xiao Fan had been suspicious of Niu Kai.

There must be some ulterior motive for the other party to follow him…

But Xiao Fan did not yet know exactly what the other party was planning.

"Let's wait and see…" Xiao Fan muttered.

Under normal circumstances, Niu Kai should have had the same idea as Sun Cheng. Since his Realm was higher than his own, why would he be willing to follow him?

Wouldn't he be unconvinced?

And why had this person been silent the whole way?

Furthermore, Xiao Fan could not possibly have misperceived the Killing Intent radiating from him!

phantom candle dew, a rare heavenly treasure born in the depths of the Ancient Water Spirit Realm, was worth a fortune in the outside world. Because it was difficult to harvest, the value of phantom candle dew exceeded that of senluo wood essence.

Right now, Lan Gu and Song Rui were very well-behaved; they followed exactly how Xiao Fan led.

As for Niu Kai, he had been very cooperative from the beginning and had not raised a single objection.

"Alright, you all stay here… It is dangerous ahead, so I will go in alone." Xiao Fan suddenly stopped. He planned to act alone to meet the Water Spirits and then get his hands on the Water Attribute Law Power.

"Ah?!"

"You… Xiao Fan, you want to act alone?"

"Then our mission…"

The group was stunned, looking at Xiao Fan in disbelief.

Why was Xiao Fan suddenly deciding to split up and act alone?

"Rest assured, there is nothing here, and it is very safe to stay… There are many Water Spirits ahead, and there is no way to avoid them. If you are discovered at this position, you do not have the strength to escape to the exit…" Xiao Fan said calmly, "If I manage to obtain extra phantom candle dew, I will share some with you so that you can complete your mission."

"This… then… then we will be troubling you." Hearing Xiao Fan say this, Lan Gu scratched his head in shame.

If Xiao Fan really obtained some phantom candle dew and shared it with him, wouldn't that mean he had completed the mission without doing anything after entering the Ancient Water Spirit Realm?

Xiao Fan was truly too generous!

"O-okay, thank you for your hard work, Xiao Fan." Song Rui was also very embarrassed.

"It is nothing…" Xiao Fan said calmly.

phantom candle dew was useless to Xiao Fan; what he wanted was the Water Attribute Law Power.

"Xiao Fan, one should not receive a reward without merit. Let me go with you… Rest assured, I have the strength to protect myself and will not hold you back," Niu Kai said at this moment.

"Fine…" Xiao Fan thought for a moment, nodded, and agreed.

If Niu Kai wanted to follow, he would let him follow…

Xiao Fan also wanted to see what exactly Niu Kai was planning.

"Good." Niu Kai nodded.

Lan Gu and Song Rui hid themselves, and Xiao Fan told them that if he did not return after ten days, they should find a way to leave on their own…

The Ancient Water Spirit Realm was fraught with danger, and countless experts had fallen here.

Lan Gu and Song Rui naturally understood what Xiao Fan meant by these words. They agreed immediately, feeling very grateful to Xiao Fan in their hearts.

Next, Niu Kai followed Xiao Fan as they headed deeper into the Ancient Water Spirit Realm…

Not long after, Xiao Fan and Niu Kai sensed the presence of numerous Water Spirits ahead.

Xiao Fan's original intention was to approach these Water Spirits, and Niu Kai did not stop him; he followed Xiao Fan silently as they approached together.

…

Xiao Fan and Niu Kai concealed their presence until they were not far from the group of Water Spirits…

"Let's go, we will quietly avoid them." Xiao Fan said calmly.

"Mm, okay." Niu Kai nodded, a cold glint flashing deep in his eyes.

Xiao Fan and Niu Kai moved forward, intending to enter the depths of the Ancient Water Spirit Realm from the side… The group of Water Spirits did not notice them at all.

But when they were halfway there, Niu Kai's expression turned cold, and his Aura began to leak out… instantly attracting the attention of a large number of Water Spirits.

"Who?!"

"There is the Aura of an outsider!"

"Over there!!"

"…"

The group of Water Spirits was shocked, each looking at the direction of Xiao Fan and Niu Kai in astonishment, their Killing Intent surging.

"Exposed…" Xiao Fan said calmly.

"Not good, Xiao Fan, let's go!" Niu Kai roared and immediately turned to flee.

"Hehehe… fleeing?" Xiao Fan sneered. He glanced at the group of menacing Water Spirits, then looked at Niu Kai…

"Boom"

Xiao Fan threw a punch, striking Niu Kai in the back.
