After a bit of silence, Mo Sha said, "Shouldn't we take care of the Fire Lotus Flower first? If we leave it be, it'll attract even more spirit beasts."
When Xiao Ming heard this, she slowly snapped out of her daze and gave a nod of agreent.
Though she was still looking at Mo Sha with a strange look.
Mo Sha didn't seem bothered at all as he started walking towards the Fire Lotus Flower that was being guarded by mbers of both of their groups.
Xiao Ming didn't let him go alone, so she went over to the Fire Lotus Flower with him.
Now ca the hardest part, they had to decide how to split this Fire Lotus Flower.
There was only a single one and they couldn't just split it, so they had to decide who would get this Fire Lotus Flower. The group that didn't get the Fire Lotus Flower would have the ability to claim the next special item that they found, so it wasn't as if they were losing out.
The only problem was if they would even be able to find sothing that was one the sa level as this Fire Lotus Flower.
So it was better to take what was in front of you than to wait for an uncertain future.
As Xiao Ming was hesitating over this, Mo Sha suddenly said, "You should take this Fire Lotus Flower."
Xiao Ming couldn't help looking at Mo Sha with a surprised and confused look.
After all, she had assud that he would have tried to get this Fire Lotus Flower for them since it was a precious herb. Would anyone really give up a precious herb like this if they had the chance to obtain it?
Mo Sha went against Xiao Ming's expectations as he calmly said, "This Fire Lotus Flower doesn't have any use for us, so there's no reason for us to take it."
He then narrowed his eyes to look at Xiao Ming before saying, "This Fire Lotus Flower would benefit you greatly with your fla energy. It will help you unlock whatever is sealed inside of you."
Xiao Ming was taken aback when she heard this before narrowing her eyes to look at Mo Sha.
This was sothing that most of the other mbers of the Love Sect didn't know.
The only ones that knew this were her master, her junior brother, and so of the elders.
So how did Mo Sha find out about this?
Mo Sha just said with a calm smile, "I have my ways, you don't need to worry about them. Besides, it would be good for us if our allies were to beco stronger, right?"
Xiao Ming just couldn't see through Mo Sha at this mont at all.
She had thought that she had a good idea of what Mo Sha was capable of and what kind of person he was, but it seed like this wasn't the case. It seed like there was still much about him that she wasn't able to see through yet.
Mo Sha didn't care about the way that Xiao Ming looked at him and walked around the edges of the area before bending down to pick sothing up.
He turned back and held this thing up before saying, "We'll just take these for now while you get the big item."
The thing that he was holding up was an herb, but it wasn't that rare of an herb.
It would still be counted for points, so there was so value to it.
When the Love Sect group looked around the area, they realized that there were many such herbs that were growing around this area. They had only been focused on the main Fire Lotus Flower that was here that they didn't notice all of these other herbs.
But the fact that the Fire Lotus Flower would grow in a place like this ant that there had to be a reason it could grow here.
So it would only make sense that other herbs could also grow here.
Looking at it all, it didn't seem like the value of all of these herbs were less than the Fire Lotus Flower and Mo Sha was saying that he was taking them all. It seed that he really was quite the calculating person that he was able to notice all of this.
However, that wasn't all.
They would have to owe him a favour for giving up this Fire Lotus Flower even if they allowed him to take all of these herbs.
It was like killing three birds with one stone!
In the end, Xiao Ming nodded in agreent since the Fire Lotus Flower was sothing that she needed. Her special physique needed things that were filled with fire elental energy like this, so she needed this Fire Lotus Flower.
She needed to beco stronger just in case Mo Sha were to try sothing.
At the sa ti, the groups from the other sects might also try sothing.
They were wary of Mo Sha, but it wasn't as if they were afraid of him, so they would be just as strong as him.
If that was the case, she was just too weak right now.
Mo Sha gave a nod before signaling to the Demon Palm Sect mbers to start gathering the herbs.
They created a large area around the Fire Lotus Flower, almost as if they were surrounding it.
Even though they were gathering herbs, it looked like they were ready to fight at any mont.
Xiao Ming couldn't help being surprised seeing this, but she gave a grateful nod to Mo Sha.
She knew what he was doing.
Though they were gathering herbs, they were also protecting her while she absorbed the Fire Lotus Flower.
The Love Sect group didn't stall as they surrounded her as well, forming a complete blockade. If anyone wanted to reach Xiao Ming, they would have to break through all of these people protecting her.
It certainly wouldn't be easy, especially since even Mo Sha was guarding her.
So Xiao Ming didn't hesitate to absorb the Fire Lotus Flower.
She carefully plucked it out to make sure that they didn't waste any dicinal essence of this Fire Lotus Flower before bringing it up in front of her.
Then taking a deep breath, Xiao Ming threw this Fire Lotus Flower into her mouth.
She chewed once before swallowing to ensure that she would keep the dicinal essence intact.
As soon as she swallowed it, there were flas that appeared around her.
However, no one seed to care since these were just ordinary flas. These were the fla elental energy gathering around her for her to absorb.
They just watched over her as the flas kept gathering around her.
Even when Xiao Ming was completely surrounded in flas, no one seed to care since they could see that she was perfectly fine. Even though the flas surrounded her, it didn't seem like they were able to touch her.
It was as if there was a fine line between her and the flas that kept her safe.
The flas even seed to be protecting her with the way that they wrapped around her.
It seed like everything was going fine until…
"Ying!"
Everyone was caught off guard by this sudden sound that ca from Xiao Ming.
They didn't understand what was happening at first until the flas that were around her suddenly started to take a form. These flas that were wrapped around her morphed until they took the form of a bird, or at least that was what it seed like.
Mo Sha narrowed his eyes when he saw this before saying, "Phoenix, these are the flas of the phoenix."
That was all that he got to say as there were roars that suddenly ca from all around them.
As everyone turned away from Xiao Ming, they saw that there were a bunch of spirit beasts that suddenly ca out of the forest around them. All of these spirit beasts were charging at them, as if there was sothing that they wanted.
Seeing them like this, it was easy for them to understand what these spirit beasts wanted.
They wanted Xiao Ming, or rather they wanted to take whatever was inside of Xiao Ming.
It seed that her awakening and that bird cry just now had attracted all of these spirit beasts.
Though all of them revealed bitter smiles when they saw this, there wasn't a single person who had a trace of worry in their eyes. That was because these spirit beasts didn't pose any threat to them.
They were on the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Beast Valley, so the spirit beasts that were here weren't that powerful in the first place. The only exception was the Sun Lion and the Steel Tiger that they had already killed.
No one knew why these two had been here other than for the Fire Lotus Flower, but they were the only strong ones here.
The rest of the spirit beasts that were here were all weaker than them.
It wasn't just a bit weaker, but they were all much weaker than the Sun Lion and the Steel Tiger.
So they wouldn't have any problems fighting these spirit beasts.
But…they had underestimated how attractive Xiao Ming was.
Half an hour later, the ground was covered in the blood of spirit beasts.
There were over five hundred spirit beasts that had been attracted during this ti, so they had been fighting without stopping.
Everyone looked tired, but they weren't hurt at all.
Only when Xiao Ming opened her eyes and the flas scattered did the spirit beasts stop coming.
Seeing the scene in front of her, she just said with her tongue stuck out, "Sorry."
