"Don't speak..." Ji Guang quickly called out.

It was already too late. The Sea Winged Leopard had already heard Ding Bu'er's voice. Immediately, the Sea Winged Leopard kicked the other survivor away and pounced towards Mo Wuji.

"Everyone, attack together." Seeing the Sea Winged Leopard pounce, Ji Guang grabbed his long blade and was the first to charge forward. As Ji Guang charged, Gao Juan and the injured Sun Liyan also drew their weapons and rushed up. Although Ding Bu'er was weaker in combat, he had caused the situation, so he naturally charged forward without hesitation.

Of the five people, only Mo Wuji didn't charge forward. Mo Wuji not only didn't charge forward, but he also didn't move at all.

It wasn't that he was afraid of death, but after hearing Ji Guang talk about the Arrow-Spraying Beast, he had been paying attention to his surroundings. With four people attacking the Sea Winged Leopard, they should be able to hold it back. Whether he went up or not wouldn't make much difference. It was the Arrow-Spraying Beast that had shot and injured Sun Liyan earlier that Mo Wuji was more wary of.

An open attack is easy to dodge, but a hidden arrow is hard to defend against. Mo Wuji was more worried about the Arrow-Spraying Beast hiding on the side.

As Mo Wuji had guessed, Ji Guang and the others essentially blocked the Sea Winged Leopard's attack. The Sea Winged Leopard was very strong, but not very agile. Among the four who were besieging the Sea Winged Leopard, apart from Ding Bu'er, Ji Guang and the other two were clearly experienced in battle. The four of them were evenly matched with the Sea Winged Leopard. Unfortunately, Sun Liyan was injured, and his movements weren't very smooth.

The Sea Winged Leopard relied on its great strength, charging wildly. After only a few minutes, Ding Bu'er's weakness became apparent. During a retreat that was slightly too late, the Sea Winged Leopard opened its mouth and bit at Ding Bu'er.

Ding Bu'er's move was old, and he had no chance to change direction. Seeing that Ding Bu'er was about to be swallowed by the Sea Winged Leopard, Mo Wuji couldn't hold back any longer. Just as he was about to rush out, a black shadow, like a sharp arrow, rapidly shot towards Ji Guang.

When Mo Wuji saw Ji Guang rush towards the Sea Winged Leopard to save Ding Bu'er, he immediately changed direction. With Ji Guang taking action to save Ding Bu'er, he only needed to help Ji Guang block the sneak attack.

"Ding!" A black arrow directly slammed into Mo Wuji's blade surface, and a powerful force surged over. Fortunately, Mo Wuji had already opened his Meridians to the first level. If he was still in the state before cultivation, this impact force would have been enough to send him flying backwards.

After Mo Wuji blocked the black arrow, he used his strength to push his feet and directly pounced towards an exposed coral. He had already realized that this black arrow was shot from this coral. Combining this with what Ji Guang had said, he naturally knew that this coral was the Arrow-Spraying Beast.

Facing something like the Arrow-Spraying Beast, engaging in a long-range confrontation was suicidal.

With the first level of Meridian Opening, plus the opening of twenty-seven meridians, even if he hadn't leveled up yet, Mo Wuji's burst of speed was extremely fast. The distance of a dozen meters was covered in almost a second.

The long blade slashed out, tearing the air with a whooshing sound.

The Arrow-Spraying Beast, which was trying to sneak attack Ji Guang, didn't expect Mo Wuji to suddenly rush out and block its arrow. Plus, the time from when Mo Wuji blocked the arrow to when he rushed to its front was extremely short. The Arrow-Spraying Beast didn't have time to dodge.

"Puff!" The blade struck the coral, but it felt like cutting into flesh and blood. A stream of blood spurted out, and Mo Wuji saw the Arrow-Spraying Beast turn into a shadow and disappear from under his blade.

Apart from hearing a faint sound of wind, Mo Wuji didn't see any trace of the Arrow-Spraying Beast. At the place where the coral was just now, there was still a pool of blood.

Mo Wuji guessed that the Arrow-Spraying Beast wouldn't come back. He quickly turned around, wanting to help Ji Guang and the others, when he heard the Sea Winged Leopard let out a violent roar.

Mo Wuji saw that Ji Guang's curved blade had already split open the Sea Winged Leopard's lower jaw, and blood was spurting out directly.

Under the Sea Winged Leopard's fury, it lost its composure, and Gao Juan and Sun Liyan's long blades pierced its throat.

The Sea Winged Leopard, not entirely reconciled, fell directly to the ground, shattering a reef.

Ji Guang didn't look at the Sea Winged Leopard that had been killed. Instead, he walked up to Mo Wuji, bowed to Mo Wuji, and said, "Brother Mo, thank you for saving my life again."

Ji Guang had helped Ding Bu'er avoid a disaster, so he naturally knew that Mo Wuji had also helped him block an arrow from the Arrow-Spraying Beast at the same time. If Mo Wuji hadn't helped him block that arrow, it might have pierced his neck directly. Injuries in other places could be healed, but if his neck was shot through, the chances of survival would be very slim.

"Brother Ji, since everyone is in a team, we should naturally work together with one heart. Besides, if it weren't for Brother Ji, Bu'er would probably be in grave danger as well," Mo Wuji said with a smile.

There was an unspoken understanding between everyone that it was better to say that Ji Guang had saved himself rather than Mo Wuji saving Ji Guang.

If Ji Guang hadn't taken action to save Ding Bu'er, Mo Wuji definitely wouldn't have helped Ji Guang block the disaster. He would have chosen to save Ding Bu'er first.

"Brother Mo, I've made you a friend. Before, I thought you were trying to take advantage of the situation. It seems I was being petty. If you hadn't been hiding on the side waiting for that Arrow-Spraying Beast, Brother Ji would have had a hard time escaping this calamity." Sun Liyan, who hadn't spoken much, took the initiative to say to Mo Wuji this time.

"Everyone, there's no need to be polite. Let's go find the Sea Winged Leopard's eggs now." Ji Guang waved his hand and walked ahead.

This time, the group hardly spent any effort before finding a smooth reef cave. The cave was very large, with a height and width of over ten feet.

Before even entering the cave, the five people smelled a fishy odor.

"It's here." Ji Guang said with great joy, "This cave should be a temporary place for the Sea Winged Leopard to hatch its eggs. At most, in four months, the Sea Winged Leopard will abandon this place and leave."

The five people entered one after another and soon reached the depths of the cave. In the depths of the cave was a huge, simple nest built with animal fur. In the middle of the nest were six eggs.

These should be the Sea Winged Leopard eggs. What puzzled Mo Wuji was that five of the six eggs were as big as volleyballs, while one of them was only one-third the size of the others. Not only that, the other five large eggs had black and white mottled colors, which looked very beautiful, while the smaller egg was earthy yellow, looking more like a large chicken egg.

"This time, we're in luck. One large egg per person, and the small one is probably not a Sea Winged Leopard egg. It should be something the Sea Winged Leopard picked up from somewhere else. Let's give the small one to Brother Mo as well. What does everyone think?" Ji Guang immediately made the allocation.

Ding Bu'er and Mo Wuji were together, so naturally they wouldn't have any objections. Sun Liyan and Gao Juan both agreed as well. They knew Mo Wuji's strength very well. It could be said that Mo Wuji contributed the most to everyone's ability to come here unscathed.

Mo Wuji smiled and said, "No need, I'll just take the small one. Bu'er can take one, and the remaining four can be given to Brother Ji and the other two. After all, Brother Ji brought us here."

After speaking, he took the small egg in his hand first. He had already achieved his purpose. If it weren't for Ji Guang, he wouldn't have been able to find this place, let alone open up twenty-seven meridians along the way.

If it weren't for the handyman disciple token given by Qin Xiangyu, Mo Wuji wouldn't have been so courteous and would have directly taken two eggs. After all, a Sea Winged Leopard egg might allow him to become a handyman disciple. Now that he had the handyman disciple token, the Sea Winged Leopard egg was meaningless to him. In that case, it was better to give it to Ji Guang. Being able to suffer a loss sometimes isn't a bad thing. This was a valuable lesson Mo Wuji had learned.

Even if he had brought back a Sea Winged Leopard egg, he wouldn't have hatched it. Killing a Sea Winged Leopard and then hatching its offspring to use as a beast pet made Mo Wuji feel a bit awkward. Even if he hadn't personally killed the Sea Winged Leopard, it was the same.

"Alright, thank you for your magnanimity, Brother Mo. Brother Mo will be a friend of Ji Guang from now on. If there's anything you need my help with, Brother Mo, feel free to ask." Ji Guang didn't decline much. One Sea Winged Leopard egg wasn't enough for him indeed. The reason he wanted to give it to Mo Wuji was because Mo Wuji's contribution was truly greater than his, and Mo Wuji had also saved his life.
