"Ohhh... I see, go ahead, me and Lian Zhi will sit it out, we don't need anything from the rewards either " Pei Lingxi moved to the edge of the stone slab and Lian Zhi followed her.

The disciple who spoke became embarrassed, he was acting all haughty because Pei Lingxi was with them, without her, they aren't strong enough.

They all don't even come in the top 30 cultivators much less the top 5 of the sect in their realm.

The situation became even more embarrassing for him when other cultivators after entering the slab moved near Pei Lingxi, leaving him alone, as if telling that go ahead you can do it alone.

"I was just joking—"

"Shut up"

"Idiot"

CRACKKKK

The bridge broke off cutting the path to retreat as the last disciple entered the slab. The disciples flinched and took some calming breaths, as there was no going back.

Pei Lingxi looked at the masked cultivator who was standing at the edge like them right now and Bai Lian wasn't standing too far from him.

"Sister Bai, you would help us fight the beast or...."

Bai Lian nodded, "I will, don't worry about it".

They didn't discuss about treasure, Pei Lingxi didn't want to give up on more benefits, some of them would already won't get anything. She would have to pay those disciples something.

As for Bai Lian, she didn't care to ask Pei Lingxi about treasure as their lives depended on Lin Feng's will.

The arena lit up and a coiled beast appeared on the slab. It was a Blackscale viper.

"Way to jinx it you idiot, of all things it has to be a scaled beast and not to mention a snake type " Lian Zhi spoke while shaking her head.

Scaled type beasts are tough to injure, this beast which wasn't a real beast wouldn't even show much reaction to small injuries.

Snake type beasts are very agile in nature, they turn and lunge very fast, humans of the same realm won't be able to dodge the attack of this beast if it came into attacking range.

"Sister Bai, do we have to attack to wake it up?" Pei Lingxi asked as she saw that the beast was unresponsive.

"Indeed" Bai Lian nodded.

Pei Lingxi nodded back in acceptance, "Alright, listen up everyone, spread around it and make sure to have put enough distance from it. Once it attacks anyone, others will attack it to distract it.

The person who is getting attacked would just try to run away and not let it enter the attacking range, I hope everyone understands?"

"Alright..."

"Got it..."

...

Just as one of the disciples was about to cross the hypothetical middle line which separates the slab in two to get behind the beast, Bai Lian spoke, "Don't cross it, last time the beast woke up the moment our attacks crossed the middle area, so maybe if you cross then it might trigger the same response, it will waste the chance to have the first attack right now"

The disciple immediately backed off. Others who were about to move towards the other direction stopped too.

Pei Lingxi gestured them, "Just spread around this side, once the beast awakens try to move on the other side"

Others nodded and became ready, just as Pei Lingxi was about to decide where should they attack to maximum advantage, her eyes widened as the masked cultivator whom they had let be for the time being, crossed the middle line....

HISSSSSSSSS

"DAMMIT.." For the first time Pei Lingxi cursed.

"This bastard..." Lian Zhi wasn't able to hold herself back either.

Others gritted their teeth too while Bai Lian just sighed and moved a little further.

The only saving grace for everyone was that since Lin Feng was closest to the beast its attention was totally fixed on him.

"Tsk, serves him better..." Lian Zhi snickered.

"Tchh... Guess we don't have to worry about this wretch, although I would have preferred to kill him with my own hands..." One of the male disciples snorted.

"Indeed, I wanted to rip him into the exact number of pieces of the tokens he had brought us..." Another spoke.

Everyone of them thought that this masked cultivator was just boastful earlier, there is no way he can create talismans of a higher realm.

What happened in the previous ruin can be twisted, in the end it wasn't Bai Lian who told them that he was the one who killed Zhao Lei. There was definitely something fishy here.

Pei Lingxi on the other hand waved her hand, "Spread out fast "

Others immediately started moving towards every corner of the arena slab, they were just a little further away from the edge. When they saw the dark abyss, they were scared witless from it too. They can only imagine the fate of Zhao Lei who has fallen inside.

Bai Lian sighed looking at their position, it was too dangerous.

She hadn't mentioned anything about the arena slab being not stable, so she doubted anyone of these guys had any idea how close to death they were.

All Lin Feng had to do was hit the arena once and a lot of them would slip off into the abyss.

Should she mention it? Well... she should. If Lin Feng wanted then he would have already kicked them off the arena, was he not intending to kill them? She sighed, "If I were you then I wouldn't be standing so close to the edge"

Pei Lingxi frowned, indeed it was dangerous to stand near the edge but it seemed like Bai Lian was implying something else. She didn't want to take any chance so decided to be cautious, "Move a little further away from the edge"

This would decrease their distance from the beast but it was still better than falling into something of unknown danger.

The disciples followed her advice and took some steps closer to the beast.

Lin Feng on the other hand was thinking of how to snatch their storage rings, this was the reason he didn't just throw them off into the pit, when he had the perfect chance to do it.
