Seven days later, entrusted by Dao Xuan Zhenren, Pu Hong, and Yun Yilan, and other righteous path leaders, a group of righteous path disciples who set out from Qingyun Mountain arrived in the southwest. Because of the importance of the matter, the three major factions have sent their most capable disciples, as if it was a coincidence, these people have already known each other for a long time.

Xiao Yicai, Lin Jingyu, and Lu Xueqi of Qingyun Gate, Fa Xiang and Fa Shan of Tianyin Temple, Li Xun and Yan Hong of Incense Valley, a group of seven people, after setting off from Qingyun Mountain, they were cautious along the way, walking day and night, trying to avoid conflicts with the beast demons on the road, and rushing to the southwest at full speed, hoping to find out why a large number of beast demons suddenly converged to this place.

When these righteous path disciples first embarked on the road, although they knew that this trip was extremely dangerous, for the sake of the common people in the world, none of them had the intention of retreating. But on the seventh day after their trip, all the people had become pale, and they were silent all day and night, including Xiao Yicai, who was the best at words, Fa Xiang behind Dingli, and even Li Xun, who had been wanting to talk to Lu Xueqi along the way, were silent.

The further south you go, the more tragic the situation becomes. Either the corpses of the entire village and the entire city are all over the field, and the bones are forested, or the villages one after another are deserted, and the fertile fields are turned into scorched earth. No one knows why these beasts and demons actually set fire to it, why they are so cruel and blood-devouring, just like no one knows, when will this catastrophe end?

The ghostly roar seems to echo forever in the wilderness of the southern land, telling the sad and miserable past.

After entering the southwest region, the group was more cautious, but they were facing a great trouble at the moment, first of all, they couldn't find the local residents at all, all the people either fled to the north before the beast demon came, or they had died tragically in this catastrophe, so these righteous path disciples had no way to ask the locals about the movements of these beast demons. On the other hand, most of those beasts and demons do not understand people's language, even if they took the risk of catching a few beast monsters, most of them were roaring and struggling, where can they ask something?

In desperation, after the group discussed, they finally had to follow Xiao Yicai's proposal and take the risk to secretly follow the beast demons, where the more beast demons gathered, where to go, to see what these beast demons were going to do? In this way, they followed the southwest for three days and three nights, during which they were almost discovered by some beast demons with keen sense, smell and hearing several times, but fortunately, Xiao Yicai, Fa Xiang, Lin Jingyu and others are all extremely smart characters, and every time they dodged without danger at the moment of life and death. But despite this, they still have nothing to gain.

Just when they began to gradually lose heart, an accident, they actually found a demon disciple who had gone crazy in a forest where the beast demon passed, and under the careful questioning of everyone, or it can be said to be patient coaxing, they gradually knew that the beast demon entered the southwest this time, and it turned out that there was a big battle with the demon sect, and the result of the battle was that the beast demon won a complete victory, and the two major factions of the demon sect, which were once arrogant and invincible, were almost all wiped out in this war.

The news immediately stunned everyone.

Looking at this poor man who was huddled in a ball and kept muttering "monster, monster" in his mouth, from time to time his whole body suddenly trembled, frightened and screaming madman, the hearts of the seven people of the righteous path were cast a heavy shadow.

Xiao Yicai coughed, looked at Faxiang, and said, "Senior Brother Faxiang, we are generally clear about the situation now, what do you think should be done?" ”

Fa Xiang frowned, glanced at the poor man who was cowering on the ground, sighed, and said, "Amitabha, sin, sin. After a pause, the Fa Xiang said slowly, "Everyone, in fact, the purpose of our trip is now roughly known, and the little monk thinks that it is better for us to go back to the mountain first and tell a few division commanders about the current situation." ”

"No!"

Suddenly, a cold voice came from the side, and everyone was stunned, the person who spoke turned out to be Lu Xueqi, who had been the most taciturn along the way. Fa Xiang was a little surprised, and said, "Senior Sister Lu has any other opinions, please speak." ”

Lu Xueqi's face was cold, but his voice was extremely calm, and he said lightly: "Everything we know now is from the mouth of this Demon Sect disciple who has gone crazy, and when he spoke just now, he turned it upside down, turned it over and over, and many places were guessed by ourselves. I don't think it's appropriate to think that we have fulfilled the tasks assigned by the teachers and commanders. ”

Fa Xiang fell silent, everyone looked at each other, and after a while, Fa Xiang nodded and said, "Yes, what Senior Sister Lu said is indeed reasonable, just now the little monk was too anxious." ”

Xiao Yicai pondered for a moment and said, "What Senior Sister Lu said has some truth, but we have been investigating in the southwest day and night these days, but we don't have the slightest clue, do we have to investigate like this in the future?" ”

The corners of Lu Xueqi's mouth moved, but she didn't say anything, obviously she couldn't think of any good solution to the current dilemma. But at this time, Li Xun, who had been looking at Lu Xueqi from time to time, suddenly took a step forward and said, "I have a way, maybe there is some hope." ”

Everyone was taken aback, even Lu Xueqi glanced at Li Xun a few more times, and Fa Xiangxi said, "Seriously, Senior Brother Li, please speak." ”

Li Xun took a deep breath, let himself not look at Lu Xueqi's eyes, and said: "I listened carefully to this madman's words just now, and I heard him mention a place name several times, called 'Poisonous Snake Valley', I don't know if you have paid attention?" ”

Xiao Yicai nodded and said, "Yes, I noticed it too." I have heard of this poisonous snake valley before, and the legend is that it is a valley deep in the mountains here in the southwest, in which countless poisonous snakes are gathered, and there is a poisonous miasma in the forest. After a long time, no one knew the exact location of the valley anymore. ”

Lin Jingyu suddenly said: "Senior Brother Li didn't think that this battle between the Beast Demon and the Demon Sect was fought in this legendary Viper Valley?" ”

Li Xun nodded and said categorically: "Yes, I deduce that there is a decisive battle in the Poisonous Snake Valley, and even more, I think that this Poisonous Snake Valley may be the headquarters of one of the three major factions of the Demon Sect." As long as we can find out there, we will be able to figure out whether this madman is telling the truth or not. ”

Yan Hong, who had been silent all along, suddenly said at this moment: "But senior brother, many days have passed, let's not talk about whether we can find that Viper Valley at this moment, even if we find it, the scene there may not be able to maintain its original appearance......"

Li Xun said coldly: "Senior sister, have you forgotten that those cruel beast demons will indeed set fire to eat people, but after arson, there will also be ruins and broken walls, beast demons eat people, but they don't eat bones!" ”

Everyone's faces changed, Yan Hong's face turned even paler after hearing this, and she suddenly felt nauseous and vomiting, obviously all the tragic things they had seen along the way had gradually made this woman gradually reach her psychological limit.

Li Xun sighed and stopped talking, Fa Xiang and Fa Shan whispered the Buddha's name at the same time, Xiao Yicai shook his head, walked over to Yan Hong's side, and comforted her in a low voice, and when Yan Hong's expression gradually calmed down, he turned around and slowly walked to the Demon Sect disciple who was still shrunk on the ground trembling slightly, and squatted down.

"Do you know where Viper Valley is?" Xiao Yicai tried his best to make his voice softer, sounding a little kind, but the Demon Sect disciple's body shook, but he buried his head lower and didn't say anything. Xiao Yicai asked three more times in succession, but the Demon Sect disciple seemed to be deaf and didn't react at all.

Xiao Yicai slowly stood up and looked at everyone, but no one spoke. Xiao Yicai sighed and said, "What should I do?" ”

Li Xun, who was standing on the side, frowned, and suddenly strode up to the Demon Sect disciple, picked him up, and asked loudly, "Where are those monsters killing people?" ”

The Demon Sect disciple's body shook violently, and an expression of extreme fear appeared on his face in an instant, his mouth opened wide, and after a while, he let out a sharp exclamation, but Li Xun was like a stone heart, holding on tightly, and shouted loudly: "Where are those monsters killing people and eating people?" ”

"Ahh

The Demon Sect disciple who was deeply frightened trembled all over, his teeth were chattering, and his eyes were full of fear, but his head involuntarily looked to the north. Li Xun's eyes froze, and he said hurriedly: "It's in the north, isn't it?" ”

The Demon Sect disciple suddenly tilted his head, and his whole body softened, everyone was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to check, only to see that this person's pupils were dilated, and when he poked his nose, he was no longer breathing, and he was actually dead.

Li Xun slowly put down the corpse of this person, stood up, and faced the north, everyone followed his eyes, and the forest sea was far away, although it was a clear day, but there seemed to be a blood-colored cloud enveloping it.
