Chapter 648 Carpe Diem

Hearing the screams, the four people who were about to eat hurriedly got up and rushed over there.

All four of them were warriors, and they arrived at the scene in less than a minute.

At this moment, Bai Ze was looking at the lake in front of him with a face full of horror. About 20 meters away from the five people, two crocodiles with a length of five meters were constantly writhing and tearing at Ren Boming's body. With an incomparably shrill and miserable sound, his blood stained the surrounding lake water red.

Seeing this scene, the faces of everyone by the lake changed dramatically.

Judging from the aura of the two crocodiles, they should all be low-level beasts, and have not yet reached the level of middle-level beasts.

"How could this be?" Chen Ping asked with a livid face.

The death of Ren Boming meant that he lost a helper in the secret realm.

"We just wanted to get some fresh water, but we didn't expect that there would be fierce beasts hidden under the lake. They attacked suddenly, and we didn't have time to react!" Bai Ze explained in a panic.

The target of the two crocodiles was Ren Boming, and he was not in any danger, but seeing this scene, he still couldn't help being horrified.

It was only one step away, and now he was the one who was bitten by the crocodile.

At this moment, Ren Boming had lost his voice. The two crocodiles hunted down the food, biting the food contentedly, and dived into the water again.

On the surface of the lake, the blood gradually faded away, and the lake gradually returned to calm. It was not at all apparent that just now, there was a hellish situation here.

On the side, Zhou Xuemei's legs were weak, her face was pale and she tightly clenched her fists.

Along the way, they never encountered a mid-level ferocious beast, which also caused all of them to lower their vigilance a little.

But in fact, even low-level ferocious beasts have the ability to kill master-level warriors. After all, the hunting instinct of most carnivorous beasts is sneak attack. They have all learned this in school, but until today, they really realized that the knowledge in textbooks is by no means useless.

Chen Ping took a deep look at the calm lake, and said with a livid face, "Go back, it will only be more dangerous to stay here."

The strongest among them is only the fourth-rank peak master, it is obviously unrealistic to enter the lake to avenge Ren Boming.

Bai Ze nodded in a daze, he hadn't recovered from the tragedy just now.

Back to the temporary repairing place, the group of five were a little silent.

"After I go back, I will send someone to contact Mr. Ren Boming's family and give them some compensation." After a while, Chen Ping said slowly.

"Thank you, Young Master Chen." Bai Ze just responded lightly.

He and Ren Boming have a very good relationship. The two were originally an adventure team, and they were brought into the secret realm together just when the secret realm opened.

As a member of the adventure team, he has seen a lot of life and death, but seeing his friend die tragically in the mouth of a crocodile, his heart is still inevitably shrouded in the shadow of death.

As for the compensation that Chen Ping said, he didn't take it very seriously at all. If everyone is dead, what's the point of compensation.

"After leaving the secret realm, I will write you a letter of introduction, and you take it to the Chen family in Huaidong, and they will give you an errand.

Seeing that Bai Ze was absent-minded, Chen Ping continued.

He knew that if he didn't give some benefits at this time, Bai Ze might not necessarily obey him.

Hearing this, Bai Ze's eyes lit up immediately, he stood up and looked at Chen Ping respectfully and said, "Bai Ze is willing to swear to die to follow Young Master Chen!"

The Huaidong Chen family is the largest family in the entire Huaidong area. Not only that, the Chen family is also famous for its art of refining weapons. In this case, once he joins the Huaidong Chen family, he can at least get a treasure. At the same time, his status in the cultivation world will also rise!

Chen Ping nodded lightly, he did not lie to Bai Ze, the Chen family has a lot of servants, and there are not many more like him.

But at this moment, Zhou Xuemei's eyes were full of light when she looked at Chen Ping.

Before that, she only knew that Chen Ping, like Qi Shuning, was a genius among their class of students, but now she knew that the Chen family was actually the Huaidong Chen family.

"Ren Boming is dead. We have to redefine the groups. There are only five of us, so we can only be divided into two groups." At this time, Chen Ping looked at Zhou Ran and the others and said.

"I want to be in a group with Brother Chen Ping." Zhou Xuemei said without the slightest hesitation.

After what happened just now, she just wanted to find a backer and get out of here alive.

Bai Ze saw Chen Ping's thoughts, looked at Zhou Ran calmly and said, "Brother Zhou Ran, shall we be in a team?"

"No, I think the previous grouping was pretty good." Zhou Ran calmly refused.

He and Qi Shuning were together so that he could take care of this girl.

Chen Ping's face was gloomy and terrifying. He didn't expect Zhou Ran to be so ignorant of flattery that he refused his request again and again.

"Qi Shuning, what do you think?" This time, Chen Ping didn't have a good tone for Qi Shuning.

If Qi Shuning chooses to be with him, it will be much safer than being with Zhou Ran. He believes that Qi Shuning will not be ignorant of this.

"Let's follow the previous method." Qi Shuning replied calmly.

She knew about Chen Ping's background a long time ago. As a child of the Qi family, it is not bad to marry into the Huaidong Chen family, but she really doesn't like Chen Ping's self-willed personality, as if everyone has to obey him. The command is general.

"Okay!" Chen Ping gritted his teeth and shouted coldly, with anger already on his face.

At this moment, although the three people headed by him surpassed Qi Shuning and Zhou Ran in strength, they were not absolutely crushed. Even if he was upset, he could only endure it.

He glanced at Zhou Ran with eyes full of murderous intent. If Qi Shu hadn't guarded him, Zhou Ran might have become a dead man.

"In this case, let's divide the night into two groups. You and Zhou Ran are in charge of the first half of the night, and the three of us are in charge of the second half of the night." Chen Ping said flatly.

"No problem." Qi Shuning replied with a slight frown.

In this secret realm, everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, even if they are upset with each other, they will not do anything stupid here.

After assigning the task of vigil, everyone continued to have dinner.

During this period, there was no communication with each other.

After dinner, the sun had completely set. Although the five of them carried lighting tools in their backpacks, none of them would use them at this time unless they wanted to be a living target for a ferocious beast.

"Zhou Xuemei, come with me." At this moment, Chen Ping got up and said.

Zhou Xuemei looked at Chen Ping, and suddenly understood what he meant, and looked at Qi Shuning with some hesitation.

Qi Shuning looked at her and shook his head slightly.

Chen Ping didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly.

At this time, Zhou Xuemei seemed to have made a decision, she got up decisively and walked not far away with Chen Ping.

Chen Ping sneered, after what happened with Ren Boming, he already understood that in this secret place, one should enjoy oneself in time, because no one knows when they will die suddenly.

Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Qi Shuning didn't say anything after all.

If Zhou Xuemei was on her side, she and Zhou Xuemei and Zhou Ran would not lose to Chen Ping and Bai Ze. Since she chose Chen Ping, she couldn't say much.
