Meng Chen tried to explain, but these monks had obviously already made up their minds that they had to fight quickly and find the token as quickly as possible.
Bai Ting, Xiao Yicheng and the others came closer to Huikong and whispered something, and Huikong's eyes became firm.
"Alright! Since everyone agrees to split into three groups, let's spread out! The twelve of us can be divided into teams of four."
As they spoke, everyone dispersed and formed teams of four. However, it turned out that Zhou Chao's team had five people, and Huikong's team had six people respectively.
As for Meng Chen, he seemed to be isolated. Huikong's face was very dark, and the fire in his eyes seemed to be about to burst out, very blazing.
"Everyone, what are you doing? We need to split into three teams, not two!"
Xiao Yicheng quickly explained: "Brother Huikong, Brother Mengchen has always been a loner, so let him be in a group by himself! With fewer people, the target is smaller, maybe he is the safest one!"
Bai Ting also said quickly: "Yes! And Junior Brother Meng Chen should be very confident in his own cultivation, otherwise he would not dare to bully us like that on the flying boat. Even if he was alone, he could have dealt with the token."
Huikong was about to curse with a dark face, but Meng Chen spoke first: "Okay, I can go alone. You are right. It might be safer to go alone."
Meng Chen said this while staring into her smiling eyes. He was probably traumatized by the last time he was tied in front of the flying boat. He turned his head away in a hurry, not daring to look at Meng Chen.
Meng Chen withdrew his gaze indifferently: "That's it! Which ruins are you going to? Where are you going to gather after the end?"
Huikong seemed a little reluctant, but Meng Chen didn't care: "Monk, please speak quickly, I want to get there quickly."
Huikong pointed to a ruin and said to Meng Chen: "Then go here, and when you are done, go to the sixth ruin, the ancient city ruins in the north to gather. Are you really okay on your own?"
Meng Chen glanced at Xiao Yicheng and Bai Ting calmly: "There is no time when you are safer than when you are alone."
In Meng Chen's opinion, it would be better to leave here immediately instead of staying here among the crowd and not knowing when he might be bitten by two poisonous snakes.
They wanted to drive him away and isolate him, which just happened to be what they wanted.
In this way, the team was assigned. Meng Chen was about to leave. Xiao Yicheng shouted from afar: "Brother Meng Chen, you must take care of yourself! It doesn't matter if you can't find the token. I have found two. Don't worry too much."
Meng Chen felt speechless. Why did this guy always compare himself with him in everything? Was it because he came in from the same original body as him that made him like this?
Meng Chen lowered his eyes to look at his hands, smiled and shook his head.
He turned and walked away, thunder flashing under his feet. The fierce thunder brought with it a rumbling sound and quickly went away.
He couldn't stay in this damn place for even a moment.
After Meng Chen left, the hatred in Xiao Yicheng's eyes subsided, and he became friendly to everyone.
Monk Huikong had no idea what to do and after giving a few instructions, the two teams headed towards their respective ruins.
Bai Ting and Xiao Yicheng followed Zhou Chao's team, a total of six people, and rushed in the direction next to Meng Chen.
A day later, Zhou Chao led them on a journey of more than 10,000 miles. During the journey, they stopped and walked frequently in order to take care of Xiao Yicheng.
Zhou Chao didn't say anything, he just walked in front. As for other matters, they were all decided by the people in the team.
Xiao Yicheng and Bai Ting looked at each other, and then Bai Ting stood up and approached Zhou Chao. "Brother Zhou Chao, we are too slow and are a burden to you. How about you leave first and we catch up as soon as possible?"
Zhou Chao really disliked them in his heart, and he always kept to himself, so he had to go with them on the assigned mission.
Now that they all said this, Zhou Chao suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, as if a huge burden had been thrown away.
Out of a sense of responsibility, he still reminded: "Hurry up and don't fall too far behind. I will wait for you near the ruins. Do you understand?"
Everyone nodded repeatedly to show that they understood.
Zhou Chao didn't say anything more. He moved his body and reached the end of the horizon in a flash. His speed was unbelievable.
After Zhou Chao left, the remaining five people all showed knowing smiles on their faces.
After Xiao Yicheng finished laughing, he changed his face to one of gnashing teeth: "Damn Meng Chen, he actually humiliated me and my senior sister like this! I will not be a human being if I don't take revenge!"
Bai Ting's pretty face was also covered with frost: "No matter what means Meng Chen has, we must kill him this time! This place is not far from the ruins he wants. We should be able to arrive before him if we travel day and night. Let's hurry up!"
This time, Xiao Yicheng would not complain of being tired on the road. Without any stop, he rushed to the ruins where Meng Chen was going day and night.
This area is very strange. There are more than a dozen huge stone pillars standing there, which are dilapidated by the erosion of wind and sand, and there are no other buildings.
The five of them quickly searched for the token, not wanting Meng Chen to get it. Xiao Yicheng had found the token easily the first two times, and this time he was also full of confidence and started searching quickly.
However, they searched for more than an hour and found nothing.
Xiao Yicheng frowned, "Could it have been taken away by someone in advance? Otherwise, how could we not find it after searching for so long?"
Bai Ting also had a worried look on her face. The total goal was eighteen tokens, but now there were only two. Where had the people here gone?
Another hour passed, and everyone was tired, so they sat down under the stone pillars to rest. They almost turned over the stone pillars to search again, but still found nothing.
A teammate asked: "Xiaocheng, how did you find it so quickly and accurately before? Is it not working now?"
Xiao Yicheng had a bitter look on his face, and his smile was a little forced: "Brother, stop teasing me. It seems that luck is not on my side this time."
In the dark, Meng Chen just wanted to laugh after hearing this. Why did he find the token so easily before? It was because he was lucky. It was obviously because he had been staring at himself. After he used his double pupils, he found the token easily. He subconsciously looked at where his sight was falling, which was why he found it so quickly.
Now, I'm not even by his side, what can he use to find it?
At nightfall, they quickly concealed their presence, hid in the dark, and waited quietly, like a group of hunters waiting to hunt.
Xiao Yicheng whispered, "Senior Sister Bai Ting, do you think Meng Chen can arrive today? If Senior Brother Zhou Chao finds out that we changed direction without permission, how should we deal with it?"
Bai Ting glared at him angrily: "Shut up! We are already here, waiting for Meng Chen to come. Don't you think it's too late to worry about those things now?"
