The money-eating beast that had not appeared for a long time finally had the opportunity to be used. At this moment, it was covered in Gu Xia's sleeves, dizzy and dazed. Just when it was about to make a few excited "gurgles", it was stopped by her quick eyes and hands.

In just a moment, it understood what Gu Xia meant, and nodded its head like a chick pecking at rice, indicating that it understood.

Jin Cancan now had a lot of questions he wanted to ask, but before he could open his mouth, he felt his fingers touching an unidentified object that was moving around.

"!!!"

Did he just touch something?!

Jin Cancan was horrified and subconsciously wanted to shout, but Gu Xia reacted quickly and kicked him.

The unuttered cry turned into a gasp and he couldn't help but put on a mask of pain.

Depend on.

It hurts him so much.

Fortunately, the nearby demons did not hear it.

The gold-eating beast seized the opportunity and pushed Gu Xia's clothes all the way to the shackles. Although it was unclear what the material was, it looked like it was made by a weapon cultivator.

In other words -

Can eat.

The gold-eating beast's eyes suddenly lit up, and suspicious water stains slowly flowed from the corners of its mouth.

Gu Xia, who was looking up at the sky as if nothing had happened, suddenly felt her hands were a little wet. Her expression froze for a moment, and she tried hard to control the urge to shake her hands.

No way, is this poor kid really that greedy?

Was she short of food or water... Well, she admitted that she seemed to have not fed it for a while.

The main reason is that this little thing is such a big eater. Anything that enters its mouth will be swallowed down with two crunches. There is absolutely nothing that it won't eat.

Once before, he got so angry that he even took a bite of her spiritual swords.

As a result, the sword spirits now start fighting each other whenever they see it. This is also one of the few times when the sword spirits can get along harmoniously.

It can be said that the money-eating beast single-handedly shoulders the burden of maintaining family harmony.

Whether it was the spirit stones or ores that Gu Xia had painstakingly saved in his mustard bag, or even the spirit cores that he had obtained from killing monsters before, they were all swept away.

When she probed her spiritual sense into it later, she had never felt that her mustard seed bag was so clean.

It truly means having a pocket cleaner than one's face.

Anyway, whoever wants to raise her can do so. Gu Xia can’t afford it anymore.

Was it easy for her to save up those few dollars?

As a result, all of them became snacks for these guys to grind their teeth.

Later, when they were in the sect, several senior brothers took turns to raise her, feeding her a bag of spirit stones from time to time. Even a few elders would occasionally throw a few pieces of ore rich in spiritual energy when they saw her.

There was no other way. They were also afraid that Gu Xia would get so hungry that he would go to the Huohuo Sect.

After all, this thing's teeth are really sharp. You know, the stone that has stood in the back mountain for hundreds of years has been chewed into a hole.

So when Gu Xia's money-eating beast was in Taiyi Sect, it had to eat food from all over the place. Occasionally, when she saw it, she would want to dig a few spirit stones out of its claws.

Sometimes I really get so mad at myself that I laugh.

How can a person be so poor, even worse off than his contracted beast?

*

Soon Gu Xia could feel the movement at her wrist. She quietly moved her position and lowered her voice to signal Jin Cancan to come over, "Block it."

The young man opened his eyes wide, and his breathing became faster after he realized what was happening. He didn't dare show it for fear of being discovered, so he obediently blocked the other direction.

He was afraid of ruining Gu Xia's plan and dragging down the other party.

You have to know that this is not Gu Xia, this is clearly his uncle.

Although the gold-eating beast was not big, its speed was very powerful. Soon Gu Xia felt her hands loosen. She moved her wrists slightly, then lowered her eyes and calmly made hand gestures to set up the formation.

The soundproofing array temporarily blocked the sounds inside. As long as there were no big movements to attract the attention of the demons outside, it would be fine. Gu Xia signaled the gold-devouring beast to bite off the shackles on the wrists of others while asking, "What's going on? How were you captured?"

Jin Cancan finally calmed down, and almost burst into tears again when she heard her words, "I don't know either. We ran into them just after we came out of the secret realm."

"And a lot of people died, Gu Xia. They killed several people."

From being caught to watching his companions fall in a pool of blood, it was a huge shock to him.

I've only been able to hold on until now by hanging on with one breath.

It was not until this moment that he realized that his hands and feet were weak, and even his vision was darkening.

Jin Cancan cried like a 200-pound fat man, but he had to control his excitement. He was relatively better off, as there were several monks whose situations were much worse than his.

Gu Xia had noticed from a quick glance that the monks lying in the corner had not made any movement until now, and even their breath was very weak. The seven or eight corpses around them were thrown there like garbage. The lingering smell of blood was so irritating that it made it difficult for people to breathe.

She couldn't help but frown. This wasn't going to work. Neither the demons nor the monsters had any intention of giving them treatment. If they could hold on, they would live, and if they couldn't, they would die.

Jin Cancan followed her gaze and realized this, whispering, "There are quite a few people left here, will you... save them?"

He asked this question almost nervously, and actually didn't hold much hope in his heart.

Gu Xia was willing to save him out of a favor, because they had had some interactions before, but to other cultivators, they were just a group of strangers. With so many demons and monsters watching, it was easy to imagine how difficult it would be to get everyone out.

What's more, there are two people in the Spirit Transformation Stage watching outside. Some of them were killed or injured, and it would be extremely difficult for them to escape.

Fortunately, with the disappearance of the shackles on his hands, the spiritual power that had been suppressed gradually began to flow within his body.

But based on the strength of these people, they can only be a drag on Gu Xia.

He was afraid of death, but his companions were still here, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.

Gu Xia didn't know that he had a rich imagination. She thought about it quickly in her mind and finally decided on a plan. As soon as she looked up, she saw that the person next to her had a small dark cloud over his head, and the aura of depression he exuded could not be concealed.

"???"

She leaned back and asked in surprise, "What are you doing?" She even looked up at the sky. It wasn't raining, so why did it suddenly look like it was struck by lightning?

At this moment, the gold-eating beast had completed the mission and returned. Gu Xia didn't care much. "Then let's split up. Go and gather the others as much as possible. Be careful not to attract attention, otherwise I won't be responsible if anyone is left behind."

If we leave these people alone, probably few of them will survive. In this case, saving one person is the same as saving a group.

After being stunned for several seconds, Jin Cancan realized what she was saying. He stared at Gu Xia blankly, which made her feel a little scared.

After a while, the boy sniffed, as if he had made up his mind.

"Gu Xia, from now on, you are like my real father."

At this moment, Gu Xia was glowing in his eyes.

"..."

Gu Xia's mouth twitched, "That's not necessary."
