Chapter 8: Distress Signals

As night fell, no one planned to go out on a night hunt this time.

The team set up a makeshift base in a clearing on either side against a steep mountain wall. The pots and pans, and tents brought by Huang Xiaodou were all useful.

Huang Xiaodou lit a fire, the arbor and the turnip circled the area of everyone's activities with hidden medicinal powder, and the others removed the weeds on the ground, set up pots and pots, and set up tents. Chu Xin slept peacefully while everyone was working, and only waited for Hao Fei to fly up the tree to serve as a guard after dinner. Ma Yuncheng recorded everyone's harvest today, and Huahuazi studied tomorrow's route.

For several days in a row, the team went well, hunted some small demon beasts, and also picked a few good herbs, two or even hundreds of years.

Except for the fact that he was bitten by a demon beast while picking herbs, and Huang Xiaodou was scratched on his leg while picking mushrooms, no one else suffered any major injuries.

However, the entire Moma Peak was not as calm as their team, and there were already seven or eight distress signals.

Due to the dense forests in the mountains and fields, the undead squad has only heard the sound of the signal, but there is no smoke, and the direction of the sound is more to the top of the peak, they have also followed the sound, but they were stopped by other powerful senior teams halfway, and I don't know what happened later, whether there were casualties.

This day, Chu Xin heard the distress signal for the third time, and the direction of listening seemed to be on the same peak as them, she made a few light leaps, flew up to the highest tree nearby, and looked at the sky through the leaves, the scarlet fog was particularly dazzling in the blue sky, it seemed that there was still some distance away from them, but it should be within the scope of their responsibility.

She begins to wonder the path Hanako is pointing. If I'm not mistaken, I said before that there are just ordinary animals and scattered herbs.

If there is a problem in the same door, everyone has the obligation to go to help. And this time the location of the signal is not for them to go. After Chu Xin reminded him, everyone did not complain at all, quickly packed up and marched in the direction of the distress signal. It was not yet dawn.

Hua Huazi wanted to speak several times and stopped, but everyone hurried away, and no one noticed his expression.

In the deep wilderness and dense forests where monsters are dense, there is no absolute strength or protection conditions, and it is absolutely impossible to fly through the air from the trees, especially when the sky is not yet dawn. But that doesn't affect the speed of the crowd.

Under the leadership of Chu Xin, the speed of everyone can be described as fast, Huahuazi and Lyru are in the team, carried by a few people, and the speed is not slow.

Huang Xiaodou had good ears, and couldn't help slowing down his pace while moving forward, Hua Huazi also stopped, grabbed him, and took out the grass that pointed the way with a worried face. In the past few days, Wu and Ma Yuncheng have been using Huahuazi as the criterion for advancing and retreating, and when they saw him stop, they also got off the flying magic weapon.

Huang Xiaodou has long figured it out, and Huahuazi's "grass" will point in a safe direction to avoid danger. The more dangerous the place, the more it crouches in the opposite direction. And now the grass is lying on the back of Huahuazi's hand, and its opposite direction is exactly where everyone is going, that is, the direction in which the distress signal is transmitted.

The people in front ran out and found that the people behind them didn't follow, Qiao Mu flew back again, and said anxiously: "What's the matter with you?"

Huang Xiaodou said for Hua Huazi: "Senior sister, the front is very dangerous, those senior brothers, I'm afraid they can't be saved." ”

Qiao Mu was very unhappy when he heard him say this, and his tone became a little heavier, "The rules of Qingshan Gate, if the same sect is in trouble, you must do your best to help!

Huang Xiaodou was speechless for a while, he naturally didn't forget it, but the wails and terrifying voices in the distance in his ears shook his soul. He couldn't control his expression, and his eyes were full of fear while feeling guilty.

Chu Xin and a few of them also turned back.

"What's going on?" Chu Xin asked.

Huang Xiaodou's gaze fell on Du Yan's face, and said, "I feel that this time it is much more terrifying than the gluttonous spider!"

When Duyan heard this, his expression became solemn.

Qiao Mu didn't think so, and didn't forget to sarcastically say: "I didn't expect the head disciple of the hall to be so timid!" After snorting, he turned around and continued to rush towards the danger.

An Si and the three looked at Huang Xiaodou, I don't know whether they think he is alarmist, or worried about the punishment of the same sect, or worried about the punishment of the master after not saving the same sect, in short, they also followed Qiao Mu. Duyan also left without saying anything.

Chu Xin looked in the direction they were going, and then turned around and looked at Huang Xiaodou with some concern.

Huang Xiaodou squeezed out an ugly smile at her and said, "Don't worry about me, it's a big deal to use some methods that shouldn't be used." Let's go. After speaking, he pasted a light talisman on himself, and pulled Chu Xin forward. Before leaving, he didn't forget to turn around and say to Hua Huazi and Ma Yuncheng: "You three don't go over! If you see me sending a second distress signal, hurry up and call for help!"

Yu Wu said: "No, I will go with you too!" Hua Huazi pulled him from behind, and said a little angrily: "What can you do in the past?

Hua Huazi is an elder anyway, and Lu Wu didn't resist again. The three of them looked at Huang Xiaodou and Chu Xin with different expressions.

The group of people in front of them quickly heard the terrifying sound that Huang Xiaodou had heard before. The sound was not like the roar of a monster, but similar to the seeping whine of the wind through the cracks in the window, mixed with the hoarse and unpleasant chirping of birds.

Closer, you could hear the sound of fighting and shouting.

No one had ever heard such a sound, and his steps unconsciously slowed down, and then stopped by a stream.

Huang Xiaodou and Chu Xin quickly followed.

Ansi pointed to the dense forest behind the creek and said, "It's right behind!"

It was clear that the distress signal was coming from behind the forest.

"Now that you've arrived, let's go and save people!" Chu Xin stopped for a moment at his feet, and immediately raised his breath and crossed the stream and ran towards the dense forest.

How could a few male disciples show weakness and hurriedly followed.

After Qiao Mu muttered angrily, "It's really going to be in the limelight!", he also followed.

"This ...... What the hell is it?"

After passing through the dense forest, several people looked at the scene in front of them in surprise:

It was a clearing in the middle of the forest, and although it was not yet light, it was still clear that the dark fog around it obscured most of the view. In the black fog flew a few large arm-length birds, their calls hoarse and unpleasant.

There was a disciple lying on his stomach in the place where the signal was released, his body was all blood-colored, and two large birds landed on the side to eat. Duyan saw it at a glance, and immediately let the big servant go up and drove away the two big birds that looked like vultures. Qiao Mu immediately stepped forward and threw a healing technique.

The white water system, which symbolized holiness, soaked in that disciple's body, but gradually dissipated.

Qiao Mu covered his mouth with his hands in disbelief, "He, he's dead!"

Several people hurriedly stepped forward, and Duyan stepped forward, and one of them turned the person over, only to see that this person's face was already bloody and fleshy, and a pair of eyes were taken away! Several people were so shocked that they all took a few steps back and covered their mouths and noses.

Shock, mourning, fear, seven pairs of eyes with their own emotions.

At this time, the servant barked at the black mist dog, and seemed to be afraid.

There was always the sound of fighting in the thick fog, and it was clear that there were still people alive.

But after seeing a dead body, the seven people were a little relieved.

It wasn't until a terrible shout came from the black fog that the seven of them woke up. Chu Xin took the lead in running over, but covered his mouth and nose and staggered back.

Huang Xiaodou went over to support her, "What's wrong?"

Hearing that An also came into contact with the black mist, he took a few steps back, and said faster than Chu Xinkou: "This black fog is weird!"

Several others also cautiously tried it, and An Si immediately covered his nose and said, "There is a strong fishy smell, and it is very choking." ”

Huang Xiaodou was very surprised, his five senses were much stronger than others, but at this time he couldn't smell what they said, and when he got close to the black fog, he was choked, and he almost fell upside down, but Chu Xin grabbed him.

But people still have to be saved. The screams inside grew louder and louder. Qiao Mu took out a few pills at this time, and said: "I have a clear heart and awaken brain pill, it should have some effect, quickly, one per person, put it in your mouth, don't swallow it!"

"Then what should this senior brother do?" Audian said, pointing to the corpse. After a while, there was always a big bird who wanted to come and eat him.

Everyone was silent for a moment, but the people waiting for help inside couldn't wait. Or Duyan called the servant, took off his robe and wrapped the body of the fellow doorman, tied it to the servant with a rope, and gave instructions in the servant's ear, and the servant barked a few times and went to the way he came.

Without delay, several people went to Qiao Mu's to get a clear heart and sober brain pill and stuffed it into their mouths, and then rushed into the thick fog.

Huang Xiaodou also took one and put it in his mouth, and suddenly felt that his eyes, nose, throat, and even ears and eyes were all coming out of the cool breeze, and the whole person was refreshed. After that, he rushed into the black mist with everyone and followed the sound.

Only after entering the range of the black fog did I find that the black fog was like substance, like black and broken silk, floating around, and the seven people who were traveling with me could only see each other vaguely. The person who rushed to the front cautiously slowed down, and waited until the person behind followed before moving forward cautiously.

Duyan did not move forward or backward to follow the side of the arbor.

Listen to Ann and Ann Si have swung their swords together to slash down a big bird that wants to sneak attack. Kun Lei was behind the two of them, walking backwards.

Chu Xin stood in front of Huang Xiaodou, holding a sword in his right hand and his left hand behind his back, as if to let Huang Xiaodou calm down a little, and as if he was waiting for him to hold him at any time.

The further inside, the more fierce the big birds became, and when they saw the living people, they swooped down one by one, the battle began, and the spells of the seven people were cast, and the light of the five elements of various colors lit up, but it could not penetrate the layers of black mist.

When I was on the periphery, I didn't think there were a few birds, but when I got closer, I found that after waving and chopping dozens of times, the big birds were still endless.

"Have any of you ever seen this bird?" asked someone in the scuffle.

"The feathers on their backs seem to ...... It's like a human face~" Huang Xiaodou said carefully.

The crowd fell silent and continued to slash. Silence means that everyone doesn't know the origin of this thing, they have never seen it, they have never heard of it, and they have never seen it on the "Moma Peak Demon Beast Collection".

Several people fought all the way, and finally saw a figure running out of the black fog, and when they saw them, they cried with joy, and ran over and said eagerly: "Hurry! Save Senior Sister Biyu and them!"

Qiao Mu immediately threw a healing technique to him, but the man still fell in front of everyone. Chu Xin slashed back the big bird behind him, Huang Xiaodou stepped forward to help him up, and Qiao Mustuff gave him a clear heart and sobering pill.

This is a two-year-old disciple, his clothes have been stained with blood, and he has countless wounds on his body, all of which are scratched by birds' claws or pecked by birds' beaks, and his skin is open and fleshy. Qiao Mu lost three healing techniques in a row, and those wounds showed signs of healing.

"What the hell is going on inside?" asked Huang Xiaodou anxiously.

"These birds are human-faced ghost vultures!There is also a Shun demon in them!You, you save Senior Sister Biyu and Senior Brother them~" The person in his arms was excited, and he fainted at this time.

Huang Xiaodou naturally didn't know what the hell he was talking about, and when he looked up and saw that his friends were also confused, he was relieved. As the so-called ignorant are fearless, the seven of them briefly discussed, and then asked Duyan to escort the wounded man back the same way, go to Elder Hua and them, and then come back to assist.

Duyan refused, but the time was pressing, so he had to let Ting'an and Kun Lei escort the wounded back.

The remaining five continued to walk towards the black mist.

This time, the speed of several people was much faster, and after a while, they saw the clearing in the center of the black fog:

A piece of scarlet!!

Four Qingshanmen disciples were lying in the blood stains in different postures, and three others were desperately resisting.

There were black-faced human-faced vultures hovering in the air, and the three of them were surrounded by a larger, more substantial black shadow.

As soon as the five of them entered, someone saw them and exclaimed with joy, "Great! Someone has come to save us at last!"

Qiao Mu threw healing techniques at the three of them non-stop, and the other four immediately dispersed, and the spell was used to prevent those human-faced vultures from eating the corpses of several fellow citizens on the ground.

Huang Xiaodou is the one who is the most unresponsive. Seeing the dead colleague was still like a dream before, and the bloody scene at this time frightened him. The Mind-Clearing Pill made him unable to smell the blood here, but the impact of the picture was still there. At this time, the dark shadow in the middle slowly turned to him......
