"Pop ......"

A drop of cold mucus dripped down Jiang Yao's cheek, arousing goosebumps all over his body, even if he didn't open his eyes, Jiang Yao could feel that there seemed to be a behemoth in front of him, and driven by survival instinct, he didn't speak rashly again, just clenched the crimson "Gu Dan" in his hand, and didn't dare to move.

"Boom...... Boom ......

The sound of rustling in the grass gradually moved around Jiang Yao from the front to Jiang Yao's back, Jiang Yao felt that the mysterious creature around him seemed to be swimming back and forth around him, as if discerning his breath, and the fishy smell was mixed with a seemingly non-existent "hissing" sound, which made Jiang Yao's scalp tingle.

...... on my side What the hell is it?

Jiang Yao resisted the urge to open his eyes, at this moment he felt like a lamb to be slaughtered, the sound of Huo Huo grinding the knife surrounded the left and right, but he didn't see the butcher knife fall for a long time, this strange but unable to break through the dilemma made Jiang Yao's nerves suddenly tense to the extreme.

What should I do? Do you just sit back and wait...... Where are you, glutton?

"Uh...... Woo......

The ghost-like mountain wind swayed the humanoid pieces of paper around him again, gradually enveloping Jiang Yao's body with a cold aura. Jiang Yao only felt that the creature next to him seemed to come to his face again, and the fishy smell on his face strongly stimulated Jiang Yao's snort, and at this moment, even if Jiang Yao wanted to endure it, he finally couldn't hold it back.

"Ah...... Yes...... Ahh

The loud sneezing instantly echoed around, and Jiang Yao, who had broken into the catastrophe, suddenly felt bad in his heart, and the sudden rise in the sense of crisis made him subconsciously open his eyes, and when he looked up, he was facing a spider monster face that was neither human nor ghost.

"Pop ......"

Another drop of cold mucus dripped down the corner of the strange face's mouth on Jiang Yao's cheek, and I saw that the strange face grinned and grinned at the disproportionate huge mouth, aiming the mouth full of fangs at Jiang Yao's miserable white face.

Not good!!

Almost a conditioned reflex, Jiang Yao punched the strange face in the chin without thinking about it, and with the light of the crimson "Gu Dan" in his palm flashed, the human-faced spider demon flew out with a wail in the blink of an eye, slammed into the bushes behind him, and brought down a large piece of human-shaped paper.

"Uh-huh......!"

Jiang Yao clutched his chest and gasped, just the corners of his eyes swept over those human-shaped pieces of paper, and a strange sense of oppression surged into his chest again. Jiang Yao hurriedly closed his eyes again, pricked up his ears to distinguish the movement of the human-faced spider demon, and sure enough, he heard the footsteps of the stumbling back from a distance again, and this time it was even more menacing, Jiang Yao, who had cut off his vision, felt that it was impossible to fight with him in this situation, and when he opened his eyes, he would fall into death.

"Tsk, didn't you tell you not to move?"

The helpless words suddenly fell from the sky, and at the same moment, a deafening shock wave rose into the sky, and the stumbling Jiang Yao was instantly blown to the ground by the air current, and even the human-shaped pieces of paper inserted around were torn apart and scattered one after another.

"Hmm...... Gluttony, gluttony?"

After the impact, Jiang Yao squinted his eyes slightly, and the first thing that caught his eye was the tall and straight back of Tao Tao, and lying in front of the two of them was the human-faced spider demon who was trapped in a pit on the ground and was beaten half to death.

"Something happened after just walking away for a while, you kid will really cause trouble for me......" Gluttony complained to Jiang Yao without looking back, then pressed his fingers and walked slowly towards the spider demon lying in front of him.

"Since you have the ability to carry out a sneak attack, then you should have expected what the consequences will be, right?" Gluttony sneered and stretched out his hand to the trembling human-faced spider demon. "Disappear ......"

"Stop!"

With an urgent shout, a spell crossbow arrow instantly shot in the direction of gluttony, the latter casually turned sideways, easily dodged the light arrow, and the dying human-faced spider demon suddenly seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and quickly took this opportunity to climb out of the pit, in a burst of spell light, the spider demon's huge body gradually shrank, and finally transformed into an ordinary spider the size of a thumb, as if escaping to the back of the girl's hand in front of him, hidden in the girl's sleeve.

"Not to mention destroying our defensive circle, he also severely injured our guards, even my 'little spider'...... What the hell do you want to do? gluttony!"

The childish words sounded from the front with indignant anger, and I saw the girl who suddenly appeared glaring at the glutton, scolding unceremoniously, and it seemed that she had already known the identity of the glutton.

"Y-...... you?"

Jiang Yao looked at this petite girl dressed in red Miao traditional costume and with small tiger teeth in surprise, but saw that although this girl looked only about ten years old, her tone was full of adult tone; the silver headdress was neatly decorated with jet-black hair, three rows of sleeved arrows were tied to the forearm of her right hand, and the black hole of the arrows pointed directly at Jiang Yao and the two, and her vigorous posture knew at a glance that she had undergone special combat training.

"Hmph, I still want to ask you this, I don't remember anything that deserves to be 'welcome' to me in such a killing formation. ”

Gluttony snorted coldly, raised his eyes to look at the dense forest behind the girl, and saw a series of heavily armed Miao figures gradually disappearing from the forest, and the one who walked in the forefront was an old Miao man with a ravine-faced face and a majestic aura.

"...... 'Gu Dan'? heh, I see, ...... so"

The old man said, glancing at the "Gu Dan" in Jiang Yao's hand as if with deep meaning, and then moved his gaze to the gluttony in front of him.

"It seems that there is a misunderstanding, but our intention is not to target you, gluttony. ”

"Those paper men and monsters before...... Who are you...... Why do you want to do this?" Jiang Yao got up from the ground and watched the crowd in front of him vigilantly.

"Hmph, our clan has lived in this Changyou Mountain for generations, this is our territory, what qualifications do you have as an outsider to question us?"

The girl in red flew Jiang Yao with a roll of her eyes and interjected.

"Besides, if it weren't for the fact that you were holding that 'Gu Dan', we wouldn't have mistaken you for an 'enemy' to activate the emergency defense array, it was all your own doing!"

"Because of this 'Gu Dan'?" Jiang Yao lowered his head suspiciously, and glanced at the crimson stone in his hand that emitted a demonic light, and he didn't quite understand what the other party was referring to. "What's wrong with this 'Gu Dan'?"

"Still pretending to be stupid?" Looking at Jiang Yao's blank face, the disgust on the girl's face became more and more obvious, and the machine-gun-like number came as soon as she opened her mouth. "This 'Gu Dan' must have come from that centipede monster, right? This breath has been smelled from afar! Do you know that it was because of that demon Gu that we were ...... before?"

"Ahem...... Since it's a misunderstanding, it's good to solve it. The old man coughed lightly and glanced at the girl, who was slightly stunned, and soon realized that he seemed to be a little speechless, and then retreated into the crowd with a pout, and stopped talking.

"'Demon Gu'...... Hehe, you seem to know a lot of things. Gluttony smiled, obviously not letting go of what the girl had said before. "Coincidentally, I came here to investigate the matter of that 'demon Gu', if you know anything, you might as well talk about it~"

"......" The old man of the Miao people stared at the gluttonous look in silence, shook his head after a while, and spoke.

"This is an internal matter of our clan, don't bother you to interfere, I don't have anything to say, please go back. ”

"Oh, maybe you're misunderstanding something, I'm not begging you. Tao Tao calmly looked down at the old man in front of him, but there was a certain coldness in his seemingly indifferent red eyes. "No matter what entanglement you had with that 'demon Gu' before, I have determined this matter, even if you don't say it, I have a way to find out. ”

"You ......! How dare you talk to our patriarch like this!" a young and strong Miao man beside the old man stepped forward angrily to protect the old man, glaring at the gluttonous man and said. "Even if you are gluttonous, you can't be presumptuous in this Changyou Mountain!"

As he spoke, the young Miao people immediately put on a fighting posture, while the rest of the Miao people immediately set up their weapons vigilantly, and the atmosphere was tense for a while.

"Don't be impulsive just yet. The old man raised his hand lightly to stop everyone, and then moved his gaze to Tao Tao and Jiang Yao. "I want to know, why are you tracking down that 'Demon Gu', and ...... the 'Spirit Imperial Terrace' is also aware of it?"

These people still know about the existence of the Lingyutai?

Jiang Yao was slightly stunned, although he had already sensed that these Miao people in front of him were by no means ordinary people, but at the moment, the other party's background was probably more complicated than he imagined.

"Heh, so you're worried about this?"

Gluttony smiled, not too surprised.

"Although I have been working for the 'Spirit Guardian Terrace' for the past hundred years, this 'Demon Gu' investigation has nothing to do with the 'Spirit Guardian Terrace' half-wool thread. Gluttony said, looking at Jiang Yao on the side. "For some personal reasons, we need to know the origin of that 'demon Gu', which may have something to do with someone we are tracking. ”

"...... 'a certain guy'?"

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, turned his head and glanced at the young and strong Miao people beside him, the latter's face also seemed to be a little complicated, and these actions were all seen by Jiang Yao.

"Something related to 'Demon Gu' 'That guy' may be involved in a series of murders, which is why we came here to follow up the clues. Jiang Yao observed the old man's expression and cautiously opened his mouth tentatively. "I heard from you earlier that it was because of the 'Gu Dan' aura on my body that I regarded me as an 'enemy', in fact, it was not easy for us to defeat the 'Demon Gu' and escape from its mouth, from this point of view, our position is the same. ”

"Is it......" The old man looked directly into Jiang Yao's eyes, as if he wanted to peek out some information from Jiang Yao's eyes. After a moment, the old man finally looked away and sighed softly, the originally serious expression on his face seemed to ease slightly.

"Well, since you want to get involved in this matter so much, then I won't stop you. The old man said, turning around.

"Come with me, I will tell you as it is, in this Changyou Mountain...... What exactly happened. ”
