The violence was vented, and Wei Shiqi gradually calmed down. He was bathed in blood, and the evil spirit was overwhelming along the way. Everyone subconsciously retreated to both sides, with resentful expressions on their faces, and they were all a little embarrassed. It has nothing to do with cultivation or supernatural powers, it just means that he is too murderous. Killing is a way of venting and enjoying for him. Sure enough, if he is not of my race, his mind must be different.
When the dust settled, there were corpses everywhere. Only a few died at the claws of the monsters. Suzaku Shen Yao's strike of fire raining down from the sky was the real culprit.
In this battle, Wei Shiqi made the greatest contribution, killing Jiang Juye, severely injuring Shen Yaobi, and repelling the mastermind behind Taiyi Sect. However, Pu Yu was kidnapped by his opponent, and Qing Ming Jue fell into the hands of others. Hands are, after all, Kunlun's biggest concern. To fight against the outside world, one must first settle down the inside. Shi Pingfu forcibly comforted Pu Weisheng, looked at Meng Zhongliu coldly, and said, "What else do you have to say?"
Meng Zhongliu knew that he was eager to pursue the enemy. He was going to be convicted in just a few words. If he couldn't remove himself, there would be endless troubles. He immediately asked: "Elder Shi, what crime am I guilty of?"
Shi Pingfu smiled instead of getting angry and said: "Collude with the demon clan, How can you argue with putting your fellow disciples in danger?"
Meng Zhongliu said: "There are more than one demon clan elder in the mountain behind Liushi Peak. How could they be said to be 'colluding'? Xuanshui Black Snake She Hao lives in Tongtian River. , guarding the village for many years, the natives regarded him as a god and offered sacrifices endlessly. This matter was approved by the head of the family. Qiu Zidi was attacked by a mandrill and fell for a long time. She Hao used his skin to go in and out of the village, pray for the natives to exorcise evil spirits, and did not collude with Yan Nan Ping was in trouble, so why did he put his fellow disciples in danger? Besides, the Black Snake of Xuanshui and the Wood Mandrill were feuding and had been fighting each other for a long time. The Wood Mandrill invaded Li Rengou several times, but was blocked by the Black Snake. The native clan leader knows all about this and will find out once he asks."
"Where is the clan leader now?"
Zhang Guanfeng stepped forward and said, "The clan leader Jin Buhuanye has died in the rain of fire. "
Wang Jin frowned when he heard this. Meng Zhongliu's words were reasonable and well-founded. There was no proof. Although his suspicion was strong, there was no solid evidence. There might be some people who were dissatisfied with the hasty conviction. He immediately interrupted: "Elder Shi, Taiyi Zong kidnapped my Kunlun disciple with evil intentions. The top priority right now is to rescue Pu Yu. If they escape from the Savage Bone Forest and pursue him across the border, they may be found guilty."
Shi Pingfu raised his board high and spoke lightly. Putting it down gently, he followed the current and said, "Okay, let's put this matter aside for now and save Pu Yu first."
Kou Yucheng and Wei Shiqi looked at each other and understood, Shi Pingfu's move was just Pretend, when he first arrived in Lirengou, he and Meng Zhongliu whispered, and they went into the village to discuss secretly for a long time. There must be something hidden in it.
Everyone was still divided into two teams as previously agreed, with Meng Zhongliu, Pu Weisheng, Zhou Ji, and Wei Shiqi leading the way, followed by Wang Jin, Kou Yucheng, Zhang Guanfeng, and Huo Mian behind. Shi Pingfu followed the front team. He set off immediately and headed northeast with his sword.
The sky is getting brighter, the trees are getting thinner, and the mist is shrouding, like a dream, a big river lies in front of you, meandering eastward and disappearing deep in the dense forest.
Tongtian River is called the River of Life and Death in the native language.
The Tongtian River originates from the ice fields of the Northland.You are a river of life, crystal clear, feeding countless herds of animals and lush vegetation. Downstream is a river of death. The river is filled with death, blood and bones, and the village where the natives live is located The interface between life and death. When the natives hunted prey and gathered food, they always only went upstream along the Tongtian River and never set foot downstream.
Even in years of famine, when they had to go deep into the Barbarian Bone Forest to find food, they stayed as far away from the Tongtian River as possible, so far away that they could not hear the sound of the water flowing.
The group of people flew upstream along the Tongtian River, like lonely returning geese.
It was the middle of winter, the river was clear, and a black shadow chased after it, appearing and disappearing at a speed comparable to that of a sword. The smoke and waves in the distance were blurred, and the water and clouds merged into the skylight, appearing as if they were there or not. , the forest branches and leaves are sparse, just like a painting.
"There is something following us underwater." Zhou Ji muttered in a low voice.
Shi Pingfu glanced at Meng Zhongliu and asked, "Is it the Xuanshui black snake?"
"That's it."
Shi Pingfu He snorted and said, "Just be on guard, don't pay attention."
The black shadow under the water followed them for five or seven miles, sank to the bottom of the river and disappeared, and everyone speeded up their escape, reaching the Tongtian River. It began to narrow, the water flowed rapidly, and the trees on both sides gradually became sparse. The river turned a big bend not far ahead, and alluvial formed an open shoal. Among the pebbles and gravel, there were clusters of withered yellow reeds.
Wei Shiqi suddenly felt something in his heart. He pointed to the woods next to the shoal and said, "They are hiding there."
"How do you know?" Shi Pingfu was curious.
Wei Shiqi spread his palms, holding a goose egg-sized demon elixir in his palm. It was as red as fire, flashing with an eerie red light, and gradually condensed into the shape of a Suzaku, and then he appeared again. Dispersed and disappeared—no matter how well Shen Yaobi hid, she could not cut off the demonic pill's induction.
Meng Zhongliu said: "That is the shoal where the animals drink water. The natives often set up ambushes here to hunt. During the dry season, many wild boars and native cattle come to drink water. The meat of the animals they hunt is made into dried meat. Or bacon, it can survive the whole winter."
Shi Pingfu squinted his eyes and looked around. It was extremely quiet near the shoal. The woods were a hundred steps away from the river, and messy animal tracks could be vaguely seen.
"The two lines of male footprints were found there." Meng Zhongliu added.
Shi Pingfu frowned and said: "Maybe it's a trap."
"Go down and take a look first." Pu Weisheng couldn't hold himself back, so he lowered his flying sword first and landed steadily on the shoal. , everyone followed closely behind, a few steps behind, keeping distance from each other, and being cautious.
Ura Weisheng looked around. Everywhere he looked, there were footprints left by the beasts. Some were clearly identifiable, and some had been submerged by the wind and sand. He held the broken jade sword tightly and walked forward step by step. Before he got close to the edge of the woods, a group of moths with large heads flew up and down, covering half of the sky. Their wings were yellow with black spots on them.The patterns are constantly changing shapes, like strange ghost faces.
“It’s the Grimace Moth!” Meng Zhongliu exclaimed.
Ura Weisheng's expression changed slightly, and he quickly retreated. If someone controlled the grimace moth, it would divide into several groups and entangle everyone. When its wings fluttered, it would spray out small streams of Yellow powder, shining in the sun.
Meng Zhongliu hurriedly warned, "Xiaoxin, the scale powder of the Grimace Moth is highly poisonous!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, the scale powder was overwhelming and difficult to avoid, the most However, they didn't dare to use their swords to fly up, and they couldn't avoid it. But when they dodged, the scales and powder floated in the wind, like maggots attached to the bones.
Misfortune never comes singly, the shoal underfoot boils and rolls, sand and soil splash, dozens of dark vines shoot out, and the barbs flash with blood. Ura Weisheng swung his sword, and a bright bolt of sword energy shot out, cutting off the vine. The smelly tree sap splashed onto the sword, and the flying sword's luster suddenly dimmed a little.
The scene that happened in Chixia Valley is being repeated, except that the thunder and fire clouds are replaced by a group of grimace moths. This old trick to deal with sword cultivators, if the instigator behind it is not Chu Tianyou, then Potian It's no use either.
