"Just joined the Sect half a month ago? Why would a newcomer take on this task, are you in a hurry to feed the Fire Rock Snakes? Our team doesn't need a burden, nor are we responsible for collecting corpses!" The dark-skinned man's face darkened as he spoke bluntly.
"Junior Brother Yuan, Agula and the others have a point, collecting Fire Jade is quite dangerous, and if we encounter an attack from a Fire Rock Snake, we might not be able to look out for you. You should focus on cultivating for a while longer and improve your strength before taking on tasks," the beautiful woman advised, her gaze also carrying a hint of disdain.
"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Sister, and this Senior Brother. Though I'm of humble skill, I believe I have enough power to protect myself and I won't cause trouble for you," Yuan Ming nodded slightly to the beautiful woman and the dark-skinned man, saying with a smile.
He seemed not to see Agula at all.
