However, there wasn't a single trace of the two Elders, nor the black Giant Roc.
It was as if they had simply disappeared without a trace.
Senior Brother Zhang Wang surveyed the landscape with a stony but wavering expression for some time, his brows furrowed tightly.
Su Luo asked, “Senior Brother Zhang, the Elders…”
Su Luo noticed that although the scene did not reek of death, the bloodstains suggested the situation was not great.
Sure enough, Senior Brother Zhang Wang said, “ The Elders are not dead, but are very likely injured. The ground is also stained with the blood of the giant black roc… If I had to guess, the Elders probably diverted the giant black roc away.”
Su Luo nodded her head.
She had also presumed this.
“It appears that we will have to walk the path ahead on our own,” Senior Brother Zhang Wang said gravely.
After all, if they encountered another king of the beasts like this Black Roc once again, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Dying before conquering the enemy and reaching victory." Su Luo sighed, “But it's fine. Who knows? Maybe we will get lucky and find the Bai Ze inheritance ruins faster without the Elders.”
Su Luo was okay with the Seventh Elder not being present. She constantly felt like the Seventh Elder was constantly scheming and waiting for an opportunity to trap her. It was near impossible to guard against, and thus going separate ways was also good for her.
Senior Brother Zhang Wang and Su Luo returned to bring this piece of news to everyone.
Fairy Bingqing’s eyebrows were tightly knitted together, with her lips curled in annoyance in an expression of displeasure.
Ouyang Xi was very worried. He looked at Su Luo, the corners of his lips twitching.
Su Luo knew what he wanted to say.
His goal was the Spring of Eternal Youth, and he had wanted to ask the two Elders to help find it. Now that the Elders were missing, his heart grew anxious.
Su Luo didn't voice her thoughts, but she made up her mind that if they failed to find the Bai Ze inheritance ruins, she would at least find the Spring of Eternal Youth to treat Senior Brother Luo; this was her real objective in coming here this time.
Su Luo assumed Li Luoming was anxious as he shouted, “Seventh Elder is missing? How could this be? How can we continue with the journey? No! We must return to the Upstream Mountain now, and return again next time! “
Li Luoming was indeed anxious.
Out of the entire group, only the Seventh Elder, by the Fifth Elder’s request, would protect him here and handle the Eighth Elder. But with the Elders gone, none of those left would help him, and it just had to be that he was an apothecary.
“If you want to return, you can return on your own,” Senior Brother Zhang Wang swept a cold glance at Li Luoming.
Li Luoming immediately choked on the words he wanted to say in his chest.
Other than Li Luoming, the remaining people all agreed to continue the exploration, so Li Luoming’s opinion was ignored.
He sat pitifully and resentfully in the corner, like a young daughter-in-law pouting.
But no one paid attention to him.
Ouyang Xi suggested, “Since we are a small team, we should at the very least choose a team leader, right?”
The lofty Fairy Bingqing withdrew from the selection, not bothering to play along with them.
Su Luo and Li Luoming’s abilities fell short, and therefore did not qualify for the position of the team leader.
Thus—
“I choose Ouyang Xi!” Li Luoming felt that Ouyang Xi was righteous and honest, and would stand up for him.
“Then I will choose Senior Brother Zhang Wang,” Su Luo similarly did not give up her vote.
Senior Brother Zhang Wang and Ouyang Xi stared at each other blankly.
Su Luo nudged Senior Brother Zhang Wang. “Teammates who are not captains are not good teammates, Brother Zhang. Surely you don’t think you can't compare to Brother Ouyang?”
Senior Brother Zhang Wang: “…”
What else could he say now?
