The snakes attacked quickly, but not very fast, and one after another swam out of the stream in a zigzag pattern, opening their mouths and spitting a foul-smelling poisonous mist at the people by the stream.

When Yan Biao saw it, he immediately reminded loudly: "It's a withered blood snake, it will spray poisonous mist, everyone hold your breath!"

Withered blood snake, amphibious, almost one of the most powerful low-level beast demons, with a snake head to attack, can spit poisonous mist, snake body can also be like a python winding and squeezing, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a python, but the beast demon is usually huge, the size of the withered blood snake is placed in the beast demon world, it can only be regarded as a snake, and its main attack method still relies on the snake head bite and poisonous fog attack.

The name of the Bloodless Snake is mainly due to the fact that they look like dead branches when they are stationary, and the second is that when inhaled into the poisonous mist they spew, the blood in the human body gradually decreases as if it is evaporated, causing the blood to dry up.

The strength of the withered blood snake is between the early stage of condensation and the middle stage of condensation, much stronger than the fire-eyed monkey, even stronger than the black wind wolf, and because of its poisonous mist threat, it is almost comparable to the mid-stage condensation monk, so some people regard the withered blood snake as a mid-level beast demon.

Everyone is afraid of the poisonous mist, closes their mouths and noses, and only communicates with the outside world through the acupoints on the surface of the body, which is unlikely to cause suffocation, but this poisonous mist can also slowly penetrate into the human body through the acupoints, unless it is a monk who has reached the middle stage of condensation, and the body surface has a body protected by the body, so it will not be eroded by the poisonous mist.

Diao Yan was the first to contact the snakes, and inhaled some poisonous mist at the beginning, at this time, her face had become extremely ugly, pale and bloodless, obviously poisoned by withered blood, fortunately, Wei Mou was by her side at that time, helping her resist the attack of the snake head, otherwise she would have died.

Yan Biao shouted: "All retreat in the early stage of condensation, and the others hurry up to get rid of these withered blood snakes, don't let the poisonous mist spread." ”

At this time, Qi An also rushed over, together with Yan Biao, Qi Daoren, Wu Baonian and other three, rushed to the snake group and killed them, while Wei Mou stayed behind to protect Diao Yan and others. The Shao family brothers are body refining cultivators, although they are not afraid of the attack of the snake head, they are also afraid of snake venom, and they also dare not step forward, only Yan Suqing's flying knife can shoot and assist in the attack from a distance, but it has little effect.

Due to the fact that there were Yan Biao, Wu Baonian, and Qi An in front of them, the Qidao people were pinching the talisman most of the time to observe, and did not go all out, only targeting the fish that slipped through the net, and as a result, after a battle, the Qidao people only used two talismans, and the rest of the dozen or so withered blood snakes were all slaughtered by Yan Biao and others.

This time Yan Biao killed the most, as long as he stabbed the vital point, it was a spear to drop one in seconds, if the stab did not hit the vital point, the withered blood snake would only be injured but not killed; and Qi An killed three withered blood snakes, these snakes did not seem to be very afraid of fist attacks, it was difficult to kill in one blow, Qi An had to follow the previous method, directly grab the head and body of the snake, and tear off the snake's neck with violence, so his killing method looked the most violent and bloody; , and two Bloodless Serpents were also charred.

Yan Biao was not busy cleaning the battlefield, beckoned everyone to retreat into the grove by the stream first, and while waiting for the poisonous mist to dissipate, he took out a pill from his body and stuffed it into Diao Yan's mouth, and said to Wei Mou, who was anxious: "Brother Wei don't worry, although this antidote pill can't completely detoxify the snake venom, it is enough to ensure the safety of Mrs. Zun's life, a small amount of dry blood poison will not make people die, but the body will be in a weak state in the short term and cannot move, and then it is up to Brother Wei to take good care of her safety." ”

Wei Mou nodded with red eyes and thanked him. Diao Yan herself just felt that her body was hot and weak, and she thought that what Yan Biao said was true, not deliberately comforting. It's just that because of this, the demon slaying team has lost a point of combat power, and it also needs Wei Mou to be distracted and taken care of.

"Okay! The poisonous fog is almost time to dissipate, Su Qing and Bao Tong went to collect the snake corpse, Lao Wu and I were on guard, and the others hurried to rest and prepare to set off at any time. ”

After Yan Biao gave the order, he went to the stream with Wu Baonian to be on guard, and Qi An also followed him to scoop up the stream water and wash the stinky snake blood on his body.

Suddenly, everyone heard a miserable scream, and hurriedly followed the sound, and saw Bao Tong, who was collecting the corpse of the snake, fell to the ground, screaming miserably, one of the feet was broken at the ankle, and a large stream of blood splattered out from the fracture, which was very terrifying.

At this time, Qi An, who was standing in the stream, was closest to him, hurriedly stepped on it, flew over, and saw a strangely shaped beast demon drilling out of the mud next to Bao Tong, obviously it attacked Bao Tong.

The beast demon is relatively small, resembling a centipede, with many hands and legs, about two feet long, and a pair of disproportionate giant pincers growing at the very front near the head, like a combination of a crab and a centipede.

Qi An once heard Yan Biao mention this kind of beast demon, called the crab hand centipede, good at drilling the soil, eating everything, even the soil can become its rations, the most like to lurk in the ground with a thick giant pincer as hard as fine iron to attack the target located above it, the monk who has not cultivated the body protection qi can often cut off his leg bones with a pincer, the most insidious, thinking that Bao Tong, who is bent on collecting the snake corpse, did not notice his feet, was attacked by the crab hand centipede, and cut off his ankle with a tong.

As soon as the crab hand centipede succeeded, it came out of the ground and wanted to continue to attack Bao Tong, but Qi An's body was extremely fast, and he had already arrived, and the crab hand centipede's giant pincers had just opened, and Qi An stepped down violently, and with a bang, a big hole was trampled on the ground, and the crab hand centipede was trampled by Qi An on the spot, leaving only a pair of tongs and Neidan unharmed.

The pair of pincers of the crab hand centipede can be sold for a good price, which is much more precious than its inner pill, and is a good material for refining. This kind of beast demon is only good at sneak attacks, but not in frontal combat, except for the pair of extremely hard giant pincers on the whole body, the defense of the rest of the body is weak, and it is easy to solve it with a stomp of Qi An.

Yan Biao rushed over after Qi An, and hurriedly bandaged Bao Tong, although Bao Tong was not in danger of life, only excessive blood loss, but the sole of one foot was cut off, and from now on he could only be a lame, and his strength must have plummeted.

The old members of this group of demon slaying team all have ugly faces, Bao Tong is not only Yan Biao's disciple, but also a very important part of their demon slaying team, his nose is very sensitive, and many times he can smell the smell of beast demons in advance, but he didn't expect to become crippled today, and his future is worrying.

It is also said that Bao Tong is unlucky, the withered blood snake is hidden in the stream, he didn't smell it, the crab hand centipede is buried in the ground, he didn't smell it, the demon slaying team has not had a major incident for several years, but he didn't expect it to be planted here today.

If Bao Tong had a broken arm like Wu Baonian, it would be good to say, at least his legs and feet were fine, and he could move freely, but now he was cut off by a crab hand centipede, and it was difficult to even stand, and his movement was extremely inconvenient, which would affect his actions later.

It is no longer convenient to bring a poisoned Diao Yan, and now there is another Bao Tong with a broken foot, Yan Biao's brows can't help but furrow deeply, and he carefully considers the next arrangement.

Qi Dao people spoke first, he glanced at Bao Tong, who gritted his teeth and frowned, and was sweating profusely, and said to Yan Biao: "Captain Yan, let these weak ones withdraw first, you yourself said, the more inward this Broken Soul Slope is, the more dangerous it is, and now it is less than half of it, and two people have fallen, Poor Dao thinks that only the three of us are enough to kill the ape-headed iron-backed bear, and the others are all drags, it is better to withdraw early, so as not to increase casualties." ”

Although the "three people" in Qidao's mouth were not explained, it was obvious that they were Yan Biao, Wu Baonian and himself, two late stage of condensation plus one peak of condensation, Qi An and Wei Mou He didn't pay attention to it, and regarded it as a drag.

But Yan Biao quickly shook his head and refused, explaining: "When dealing with the ape-headed ironback bear, it is likely that there will be other beasts and demons, and someone must be on guard and warn in advance, so as to be able to respond to emergencies in time, but if there are three of us, the number of people is too small, and once there is a change, it will be caught off guard, which is quite dangerous." ”

Qidao people sighed, no longer reluctantly, looked at the sky with their nostrils, and waited for Yan Biao to make a decision.

Yan Biao looked sideways at Wu Baonian: "Old Wu, what do you think?"

Wu Baonian thought for a while, and expressed his opinion: "What Brother Qi Dao said also has some truth, I think it is better to neutralize it, let the early stage of condensation take the wounded along the original road, and the three of us plus Brother Wei and Brother Qi, continue to move forward, and go to kill the ape-headed iron-backed bear together." ”

Yan Biao analyzed and thought about it carefully, and felt that Wu Baonian's suggestion was indeed the best choice at the moment, so he asked for the opinions of others.

Leaving aside the two injured people, the Shaw brothers only looked at Yan Puma and had no objections, but Yan Suqing did not agree with the decision to let her withdraw, and was very stubborn to follow Yan Biao and them to move forward, while Wei Tong was the opposite of Yan Suqing, he could not rest assured of his wife, and planned to personally escort his poisoned wife and Bao Tong, who had broken his foot, back to Zhishui City.

So, a new decision came out, Yan Biao, Yan Suqing, Wu Baonian, Qi Daoren, and Qi An, these five people continued to follow the original plan, to find the ape-headed iron-backed bear, while Wei Mou and the Shao family brothers escorted Diao Yan and Bao Tong to retreat, waiting for their good news in Zhishui City.

Subsequently, Yan Biao, Wu Baonian, Yan Suqing and the other three handed over the beast demon corpses in their storage bags to the people who were about to evacuate, and ordered them to take them back to the city first, and then distribute them according to their respective merits and contributions after Yan Biao and the others returned.

In order to prevent an ambush by crab hands and centipedes nearby, everyone hurriedly explained and then divided into two teams, one south and one north.
