"There's another crucial reason—we need these mists as our sustenance.
We must live within these mists.
Once separated from them, our bodies will quickly weaken.
Given more time, our forms will dissipate entirely.
So, you should abandon this idea.
Otherwise, if Xiao Qian steps beyond Mist Island, the consequences will be dire.
She'll disintegrate before your eyes, scattering soul and spirit until nothing remains.
I doubt you'd wish to see Xiao Qian meet such a fate.
Why not set aside our earlier conflict and cooperate?
If you help us eliminate these surrounding level-5 beasts, I guarantee Xiao Qian will remain unharmed after you leave.
We might even prioritize her training.
As for this Soul Spirit Fruit—we can share a portion with you after obtaining it.
What do you say?"
Having clashed with Luo Feng earlier, the Twin Red Ghosts burned with the desire to kill him, yet they recognized his formidable strength.
While they possessed the means to end him at great cost—having survived here for years, they naturally held hidden cards—the current situation forbade such recklessness.
With the Soul Spirit Fruit nearing maturity and four level-5 beasts lurking nearby, exhausting themselves against Luo Feng would leave them defenseless.
Thus, after careful deliberation, they suppressed their murderous intent and opted for temporary cooperation.
Their ultimate goal remained unchanged: eliminate both Luo Feng and the beasts in one stroke to secure lasting peace.
Moreover, consuming the Soul Spirit Fruit required tranquility for their ascension to level 6.
The beasts' deaths would pave the way.
Noticing Luo Feng's unusual concern for Xiao Qian, they saw an opportunity to manipulate him into serving their purposes.
Luo Feng frowned deeply, lost in thought upon hearing the Twin Red Ghosts' proposal.
He hadn't realized the Lecherous Ghost Clan bore such restrictions.
Did this truly mean he couldn't take Xiao Qian away?
Seeing her pitiful expression twisted his heart—how could he abandon her?
As someone who relished aiding others, he couldn't simply watch her perish.
Moreover, Xiao Qian's beauty and figure were exceptional.
Adding her to his Beauty Diagram would create a dazzling spectacle.
In films, he'd often seen Undead Knights—what might that experience entail?
Ever eager to expand his knowledge, he yearned to study such... techniques.
Yet this predicament left him clueless about where to seek solutions.
This was his first time coming to Mist Island, and he didn't know anyone here at all.
His knowledge about Mist Island was also extremely limited.
Some information was obtained through the Bounty Hunter Guild.
Most of the intel was only discovered after arriving on Mist Island through his own exploration.
The majority of bounty hunters operated only in the outskirts of Mist Island.
The few who could venture into the island's depths basically never made it back out.
Thus, for bounty hunters, information about the inner regions of Mist Island was exceptionally scarce.
It seemed Luo Feng needed to inquire with others to see if anyone knew a solution to this situation?
Thinking this, Luo Feng began considering in his mind—was there anyone suitable for this?
Suddenly, inspiration struck Luo Feng—he actually thought of someone.
A faint smile then appeared on Luo Feng's face.
As for the demands made by the Twin Crimson Specters, Luo Feng didn't take them seriously at all.
Asking Luo Feng to kill those level 5 beasts for them? Not a chance.
He wouldn't let others use him as a weapon.
Luo Feng was no fool.
Right now, it was precisely because of these level 5 demonic beasts that the two Crimson Specters hadn't fully engaged him in battle.
With the Soul Spirit Fruit about to ripen, all these level 5 creatures were watching covetously.
These level 5 beasts were probably quite pleased with the fight between Luo Feng and the Twin Crimson Specters.
If Luo Feng and the twins ended up mutually wounded, these level 5 beasts might stop being mere spectators.
Meanwhile, inside the level 4 tiger's body...
Xiao Huo Huo had already witnessed everything that just transpired.
He said with some confusion, "Truly, appearances can be deceiving.
Who would've thought Shura actually had such tastes—wanting to take Crimson Specters out of Mist Island?
I wonder if Crimson Specters can actually leave the island after recognizing a master?
Could it really be as they said—that members of the Lecherous Ghost Clan quickly die after leaving the Mist?"
"Disciple, what they said is correct.
Crimson Specters cannot survive long outside Mist Island.
I once had similar thoughts, but ultimately failed.
Even after refining Soul Spirit Pills.
The pills only allow Crimson Specters to survive outside the island for a few months.
Thus, Shura's idea is basically impossible.
I wonder if he'll cooperate with those Twin Crimson Specters?
If both sides join forces, we'll have no choice but to retreat from here."
Just as Xiao Huo Huo was about to continue conversing mentally with his master, he suddenly froze, his face filled with shock.
Noticing his disciple's expression, the old man in the ring asked curiously, "What's wrong?
Why such a sudden change in expression?
Did you think of something?"
Hearing this, Xiao Huo Huo snapped out of it.
With a look mixing surprise and complex emotions, he mentally responded,
"Master, Shura just sent me a message asking if I knew any solutions to his current predicament.
He said if I could provide a method,
he'd pretend nothing happened—acting completely ignorant and wouldn't attack this tiger body I'm inhabiting."
But if I can't come up with a solution, he'll start by targeting this tiger on me first.
Master, what should we do now?
Has Shura already discovered us?
When the old man heard Xiao Huo Huo say this, his brows furrowed in an extremely rare manner—this was something he had never anticipated.
