At night, the small cabin in the mountains was lit up with a faint fire, and several figures swayed in it from time to time.

The hut was a dilapidated scene, with yellowed hay covering the floor, and the only wooden bed had collapsed and shattered into several pieces.

In the middle of the hut, in a cleared lot, a bonfire slowly burned. Next to the fire, Qu Feng lay flat on the ground, closed his eyes lightly, and silently operated the Yuan Force in his body.

By Qu Feng's side, Jing and his entourage sat with their eyes closed, using their own yuan power as a guide to help Qu Feng heal his leg injury.

And the four of Chu Chen, either leaning against the wall or sitting on the ground, make up for the Yuan Power consumed in their bodies.

After a long time, Yu Hanyi suddenly stood up and silently walked to Jing and his party.

Jing and his entourage felt something and opened their eyes. He glanced at Yu Hanyi's cold face, and got up to stand aside.

The indifferent eyes are the only way to communicate with Yu Hanyi at present, don't look at this way of being much colder, Jing and his party already feel very rare.

Jing and his entourage stepped aside, and Yu Hanyi took over his work to help Qu Feng heal his injuries.

At this interval, Chu Zhen and Long Yixuan recovered almost completely, and opened their eyes at the same time.

"Who did you think that flower would have left there?"

Long Yixuan saw that the others were still pranayama with their eyes closed, so she first discussed the strange flower with Chu Zhen.

Chu Zhen's brows tightened, and the flower and the two blood-colored seeds in his hands suddenly appeared in his mind, and he faintly felt that he might have ruined the good thing that someone had been planning for many years.

"No one knows, but this flower is nourished by human blood, and it is not a good thing, and the person who left it must not be a good person. ”

Things have come to this point, and Chu Zhen is not afraid that the other party will come to the door, anyway, the other party is not a good person, the big deal is a battle.

Long Yixuan nodded, she also agreed. The only thing that surprised her was that she thought that she had mastered many strange flowers and plants, rare birds and beasts in the Yunshan Realm in the Long Family, but this time, she had planted a heel in this strange strange flower.

Suddenly, Long Yixuan caught a glimpse of Chu Chen's face from the corner of her eye, and faintly revealed some worry.

Recalling the purpose of their trip, Long Yixuan asked softly, "What, do you think this matter is related to our mission?"

Chu Zhen did not deny that in the entire Yunshan Realm, there were not many people who walked this kind of sideways. With blood qi as a cultivation resource, a poem is already considered peculiar, coupled with the Blood Haze Ancestor and the Blood Cloud River, it is difficult for Chu Zhen to imagine that there will be a fourth person in the Cloud Mountain Realm.

"We may have really gotten in the right direction. ”

Chu Zhen didn't say anything else, but Long Yixuan heard the meaning of Chu Chen's words. This trip will definitely not be peaceful.

After a while, Yu Hanyi's inner yuan was almost depleted, and Long Yixuan continued to heal Qu Feng's injuries.

Yuan Li flowed into Qu Feng's body endlessly, causing his leg bones to gradually join together, and after the continuous help of everyone, his leg was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Just as Chu Zhen and the others were recuperating in the wooden house, a figure in a black cloak took advantage of the gloomy night to climb the back mountain of Iron Ridge Mountain.

As soon as this mysterious man arrived at the back of Iron Ridge Mountain, he was very familiar with passing through the dense coniferous forest around him, and went straight down to the bottom of the valley.

Not long after, a roar suddenly sounded from the silent valley.

I saw scattered bones scattered on the ground in the glade. Between the patches of bones, pools of blood took on a dark red color.

And in the center of the pool of blood, the strange flower that devoured flesh and blood was moving its petals slightly. Completely different from the daytime, at this moment, the huge petals of the strange flower seem to be very shriveled, as if the branches and leaves inside have been emptied, and the whole flower is gradually losing its vitality, and it seems that it will not survive for long. There was also a change in the blood pool under the strange flower, when Chu Zhen touched it, the blood in this blood pool was bright and rich, but now the blood in the blood pool had begun to coagulate, turning into one blood clot after another.

"Who is it, who is it, who dares to steal Lao Tzu's hundred-year-old blood flower, I must break your body into ten thousand pieces. ”

An angry roar echoed through the valleys, and the mysterious man was now filled with the urge to kill.

Looking at the direction of Iron Ridge Town, the corners of the mysterious man's mouth curved slightly, revealing a fierce expression. He tiptoed a little, and his figure disappeared in an instant, and he reappeared, already a hundred meters away in the air.

As the night passed, the door of the hut was opened, and a figure limped out.

The first to come out was Qu Feng, who had a broken ankle. After a night of full help from Chu Zhen and several people, he can basically walk on the ground now, although it is not a good idea, but the impact is not great.

"Senior Brother Qu, let's send someone to send you back, right?" Chu Zhen asked with concern.

Qu Feng shook his head with a light smile and replied, "No need, although my legs and feet are inconvenient, I haven't scrapped it so easily, and it's no problem to return to Cloud Gate alone." You still have things to do, so don't waste your energy on me. ”

Qu Feng is also relatively strong by nature, and he doesn't want to be a burden to others. So, he decided to return to Cloud Gate on his own so that the others could continue to complete their mission at full strength.

Qu Feng is also a good talent in Cloud Gate, and showing too much concern will hurt Qu Feng's self-esteem. Thinking that Qu Feng just had a leg injury that had not healed, and his own strength was still there, it was not comparable to ordinary people, so Chu Zhen and the others no longer insisted, and let Qu Feng return to Lingyun Peak by himself.

When Qu Feng's figure was already far away, Chu Zhen and the others did not delay any longer, and continued to embark on the road of finding clues. According to last night's plan, they planned to continue south, close to the dark place in the middle of the Cloud Mountain Realm.

Approaching noon, Qu Feng, who had difficulty walking, bypassed the rugged hillside and returned to the official road leading to Tieji Town.

Walking to the flat official road, Qu Feng turned around and saw the town of Tieji, which was located at the foot of the mountain.

But at this look, Qu Feng couldn't help frowning slightly.

At this moment, the sun is rising, and it is time for the townspeople to light the stove and make breakfast, but in Qu Feng's eyes, the sky is extremely quiet and clear.

Suddenly, a wisp of wind blew and hit Qu Feng's cheek.

"Huh?"

From this wind, Qu Feng actually smelled a trace of blood.

Qu Feng thought slightly, then took a step, turned around and walked towards the direction where the wisp of wind was blowing, Iron Ridge Town.

Gradually, the outline of Iron Ridge Town became clearer and clearer, and Qu Feng, who was slowly coming, was secretly on guard and walked over step by step.

When he first arrived at the entrance of the town, Qu Feng's eyes widened in shock.

I saw that there were many corpses lying on the streets of Iron Ridge Town, and the blood that flowed out dyed the entire street blood-red.

The corpses on the street include townspeople who live here all year round, business travelers who come and go, and cultivators who pass through this place. No matter how disparity in their identities was, at this moment, they were all lifeless corpses.

In addition to the collapsed bodies on the ground, the doors of the shops on both sides of the street were wide open, and many of them even had their windows open or shattered, and some corpses could be faintly seen inside the house. On the walls, on the doors of the shop, and on the windows, a lot of scarlet blood was splattered, making the place look terrifying.

"Who did this, it's too bold, isn't it?"

Qu Feng was both frightened and incredulous, Iron Ridge Town is an important town with frequent personnel exchanges, and the slaughter of the town here will attract the attention of the entire Yunshan Realm, the four gates of Yunshan, and even the mysterious and powerful Shenwu Temple may even intervene in investigating this matter, and the people who do this are simply playing with fire.

Just in the midst of surprise, suddenly, Qu Feng's heart sank, and he suddenly felt a cold murderous aura suddenly attack from behind him.

"Who?"

Qu Feng immediately urged Nei Yuan, and the Cloud Gate move quietly worked.

Qu Feng flipped his palm and looked behind him at the same time. But he suddenly felt a flash of red light in front of him, and he stopped moving.

"You, you ......"

The words were interrupted in an instant, and the blood that burst out of Qu Feng's chest spurted out like a drizzle, floating all over the ground.

Qu Feng's eyes widened, and he fell to the ground in a daze, not to mention the move, he couldn't even see the killer clearly.

Killing Qu Feng, the black cloak that covered his figure trembled slightly, and the people inside seemed to be laughing wildly.

"It's just that you are unlucky, you appeared before the old man left, I don't miss your life in my hands. ”

A cold, ruthless voice sounded, and immediately, a black shadow was seen instantaneous, quickly disappearing from Ironridge Town.

Without knowing anything about what was happening in Iron Ridge Town, Chu Zhen and the others were still heading south according to the predetermined plan.

Over two hillsides, the color of the earth was replaced by jet black. The flowers, trees, and even the sky on the ground were covered with a kind of blackness, making the whole world gloomy. On the top of the mountains, bursts of white mist will float from time to time, adding a touch of mystery and weirdness to this place.

This is the case in the swamp near the middle, where the water vapor is heavy, the fog is frequent, poisonous insects and ants breed, and one person who is not careful may lose his life. So, not many people live here.

"Let's go to Dead Water City first. ”

There is only one city around the swamp in the middle, and the countryside and small town are almost extinct, making Dead Water the only place in the vicinity that can provide rest.

"Well, let's go. ”

Everyone had no objection to Long Yixuan's proposal, Dead Water City was located in the north, which was close to Cloud Gate. So, they walked into the thick white fog in front of them in the direction marked on the map.

In order to prevent anyone from getting separated, they took care of each other and successfully walked out of the unsightly fog.

Walking out of this white fog, the outline of a small city appeared not far away.

The low city walls, the dim sunlight, and the lights in the city seem to be absent, making it like a gate to the underworld.

Chu Zhen and the others walked to the small city not far away without hesitation, and according to their journey, as long as it took another half an hour, they would be able to enter the backwater city. But what they didn't know was that almost at the same time, several figures from different directions, ahead of them, stepped into the gates of Backwater City on all sides.
