Chapter 81: The protagonist is taking a shortcut (the third watch has arrived, ask for recommendation, ask for collection)
Although this large group of small-scaled vipers was menacing, they were beasts without intelligence, acting on instinct and brute force.
Under the scattered drainage of the Ji family, they completely lost their group advantage, allowing them to escape easily.
At this time, everyone of the Ji family has already gathered at the second foothold, this is a plain in front of the mountain, and the surroundings are very open, if there is a beast attacking, it will definitely be discovered as soon as possible.
Under the light of the bonfire, the tall and thin man listened to Ji Xuan's cry with a serious face.
"Tonight's snake plague is very strange, it must have been done by Huo Xiu, this kid. ”
The tall, thin man's face was gloomy and he came to this conclusion.
In fact, since Huo Xiu failed to force Ji Chong at the beginning, he should have thought that Huo Xiu would definitely not give up the opportunity to continue to explore their secrets.
Among them, the one with the lowest strength and access to secrets was Ji Xuan, who was still wandering in the Body Refining Realm.
Huo Xiu must have made this decision in order to disperse them and make Ji Xuan alone.
However, the tall and thin man himself is also responsible, if he hadn't been in a hurry and found a random place to camp in a chaotic mountain pass, he would not have been surrounded by snakes so easily, and there would have been no serious accident of secret leakage.
Thinking of this, the tall and thin man slammed into the big tree next to him. With just one punch, the trunk of a tree more than a foot thick was completely pierced.
The sturdy man on the side saw the clue, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Second brother, don't worry, although Huo Xiu's kid knows the destination of our trip, with his strength in controlling the Qi Realm, he is not the opponent of those beasts at all. At that time, we will only need to block the entrance and catch turtles in an urn......"
When the tall and thin man heard this, his face gradually soothed. With a wave of his hand, he ordered everyone to set off overnight, striving to rush to the destination before Huo Xiu.
At this time, Huo Xiu was already on his way to Longshou Peak.
With the hints given by Mu Lao to Yu Jian, Huo Xiu bypassed the territory of many dangerous beasts along the way, and finally arrived at Longshou Peak without danger.
From a distance, a mountain that resembles a dragon's head rises from the ground and stands proudly. Overlooking the surrounding mountains, it looks domineering.
And the location of the blood fruit, in the big mouth of the dragon's head, can only be seen after climbing halfway up the mountainside and passing through a dark cave.
The jade slip provided by Ke Mu Lao made it clear that there were a lot of poisonous insects and beasts lurking in the cave, and some of them were not even weaker than the martial artists of the Penetrating Realm.
If it was a tough one, Huo Xiu might be able to win a few, but if it lasted for a long time, he would inevitably lose.
Besides, the Ji family's squad already knew their goal, and they would definitely come at the same time as the stars, if Huo Xiu couldn't make a quick decision, it would be easy to be stuck in the middle, and it would be all over at that time.
Huo Xiu's brows tightened, and he was in a dilemma. Do you go all the way to the dark, or give up and go to find the Ice Spirit Fruit instead.
For a while, Huo Xiu couldn't pay attention.
At this time, Huo Xiu touched the jade slip hidden in his arms, and couldn't help but be smart.
Huo Xiu hurriedly held the jade slip in his hand and checked the map inside again.
Long Shoufeng was not Huo Xiu's target before, and he didn't pay much attention there. Just took a general look twice to determine if there were any beasts.
And now, Huo Xiu urgently needed to know the full picture of Longshou Peak, and try to find a shortcut to the inner space.
Suddenly, Huo Xiu found that at the top of Longshou Peak, there was a shaft leading directly to the inside of the peak. There, perhaps, he was struggling to find a shortcut.
Huo Xiu made up his mind, and immediately took a big stride and went straight to the top of the mountain.
Not long after, Huo Xiu turned into a cold smoke and disappeared into the rocks.
At this point, the night gradually dissipated, and it was dawn.
The first rays of the morning sun shone through the thin morning mist and on the earth.
The Ji family's team, stepping on the sun, rushed to the foot of Longshou Peak.
Although they had arrived overnight and were already exhausted, their determination to catch Huo Xiu had increased their fighting spirit a lot.
Vaguely, I heard the wild beast on the mountainside howling frantically, and it seemed that it was fighting with someone.
The corners of the thin man's mouth rose, and he said with a smile: "Set up camp and bury the pot to cook." We have to wait for work, and when Huo Xiu helps us clean up, we will make a big move and take Huo Xiu in one fell swoop. ”
Everyone nodded yes and started to get busy.
At this time, Huo Xiu was using his Yanluo step skills with all his might, trying to get rid of the more than ten bears behind him.
The map in Mu Laoyu's slip is not always accurate. Before Huo Xiu could reach the halfway point of the mountain, he was targeted by a group of bears.
Although these beasts have not turned on their spiritual intelligence, they live in the empty mountain shrouded in miasma all year round, and most of them are extremely ferocious and poisonous.
The strength of these beasts is comparable to that of a Penetrating Realm martial artist.
In order to avoid conflict, Huo Xiu attracted the attention of the other beasts. I had to avoid it without a fight, and ran all the way to the top of the mountain.
Unexpectedly, these bears chased after them until they reached the top of the mountain.
Any beast that dared to stop them was slapped away by it, which made Huo Xiu even more reluctant to fight with them, and he was the next one to be slapped away.
Suddenly, seeing that Huo Xiu was about to rush to the top of the mountain, more than a dozen bears behind him stopped abruptly.
Seeing that Huo Xiu had no intention of returning, they had to roar a few times before leaving quickly.
Huo Xiu looked at the abnormal behavior of these beasts, and his heart began to feel uneasy. It stands to reason that the other party has not let Huo Xiu go at all, but now he has stopped abruptly, there must be something strange in this.
No, this mountain is the territory of some powerful beast.
When Huo Xiu thought of this, his spirit immediately became highly tense.
He hurried to the top of the mountain on tiptoe.
It was only then that Huo Xiu was surprised to find that there was nothing left on the top of the mountain except for some trees and rocks.
Here, there is not a trace of a beast at all.
"Could it be that the problem is on that shaft?"
Huo Xiu immediately started to search, and finally, he found the shaft under an extremely secret rock.
Huo Xiu silently stared at the bottomless shaft, feeling more and more like the bloody mouth of a beast, waiting for the prey to be sent to the door in person.
But Huo Xiu also knew that with the foot strength of the Ji family's team, he was afraid that he had rushed to the bottom of Longshou Peak now. If he chooses to go down the mountain at this time, he will definitely collide with the other party.
At that time, it would be best to be captured alive. With their hatred for themselves, they will definitely torture and even kill them.
In this way, the shaft is not terrifying. Huo Xiu took a deep breath, held his breath, and cautiously stepped forward.
