"You don't have to worry about that, we asked her. Well, or yourself. ”
Han Jing smiled lightly and patted the girl's shoulder.
"I don't know which one is a Phantom Beast, but yesterday, I saw a huge Demonic Beast that I had never seen before, a bit like a lion, and it looked very scary. Not to mention that we were bound, even many fierce demonic beasts trembled when they saw it, and they didn't dare to gasp. I think that's it. ”
Although her tone was relatively flat now, there was a hint of fear in her eyes inadvertently.
"In other words, the Phantom Demon Beast did appear in that cave?"
Ning Yue frowned, but instantly recalled Han Jing's relaxed demeanor just now, calmed down a little in his heart, and asked tentatively: "Now, can you confirm that it is not there?" ”
The girl nodded and replied, "Well, no." I've only seen it once in these days, and it only showed up yesterday and left not long after. When it appeared, the temperature of the entire cavern seemed to be burning, and it was so hot that it felt like people were being stuffed into a steamer. As soon as I left, it was much cooler and easy to recognize. ”
"The Flame Tooth Lion, in terms of the ability to control the power of the fire element, is even higher than the Blazing Red Mastiff. However, it shouldn't exude such an exaggerated heat, could it be that after becoming a phantom beast, he can't control the violent energy that overflows from his body? ”
Muttering softly, Ning Yue was a little surprised, the last time he killed the Flame Tooth Lion, he had personally experienced the amazing destructive power that the other party had exploded with the power of the fire element, and he was deeply impressed. However, it is far from the girl's narrative.
In this regard, Bai Liwen shook her head helplessly and sighed: "Why do you care about it? Isn't it good to have a way to identify it? Or are you doubting her words? ”
"Of course not."
Ning Yue hurriedly denied it, no matter what, he wouldn't think that the girl was lying. She escaped death, how could she deceive them. It's just that maybe she's looking at an illusion.
And that illusion is exactly what the Phantom Demon Beast wants them to know.
Shaking his head again, he swept the thought out of his mind and laughed at himself. Even if the Phantom Demon Beast had spiritual intelligence, it stands to reason that it should not have such a level of strategic ability. Besides, after the girl escaped, how could it have predicted the subsequent development.
"I said, it's better to be on the safe side, it's better to take one step at a time. Let's go over and see the reality at a distance, confirm that it is correct, and then act to save people. Moreover, if we are poisoned and paralyzed for too long, even if we are awakened, most of those people will have difficulty moving, and with a few of us, plus we have to be in a hurry, I am afraid that we will not be able to take too many people away at one time......"
Before Ning Yue finished speaking, Xue Che raised his hand to signal him to stop, and smiled playfully: "As long as you can, you can produce some people, isn't it enough?" We're not saviors, and it's good to be able to help them. Those alone, presumably can make those sects pay us a lot, right? In that case, the risk is worth it. ”
"Hey, what do you mean? Saving people is still thinking about reward? ”
Bai Liwen was slightly displeased, and there was a hint of disdain in her eyes when she glanced at her.
"Hmph, what do you think of me? Do the adventure of gambling your life for an unrelated person for no reason? As I said just now, all the gains this time will be mine. You don't think I'm just talking about the loot I got in the Monster Cave, do you? Just them, what can they have? Xue Che snorted disdainfully.
"Saving people in danger is where morality lies. However, there are some people who are not worth saving. Those who choose to come to this Demonic Mountain Range are more or less selfish and have long been prepared to be imprisoned. It is indeed unreasonable to ask us to save them one by one at the price we have paid. ”
Thinking softly, Ning Yue sighed to himself.
He couldn't forget what happened that night.
"Why are you like this?"
Bai Liwen glared at him, and was about to have a seizure, but was stopped by Han Jing.
"Enough, don't continue the infighting here. In short, wait a while to save people, everyone agreed. Whatever the purpose and how far we are prepared to do it, at the very least, we will take a risk. With this heart, for now, it is enough. ”
"yes, although we may not think the same. However, no one chose to withdraw from the rescue operation. Straight into the lair of the monster, the thought of it will make your whole body burn. ”
Yin Jintong grinned, his fingers tapping on the giant axe, and the sound was crisp.
Nodding, Han Jing turned his head to look at the girl who had put on the big coat again, and said in a deep voice: "According to speculation, we are less than five miles away from the cave of the Demon Beast, because it is a mountain road, and the fog is so big, we can't go fast. Then count the time until dawn, and the gap between covertly observing the situation and strain. At the moment, we don't have much time to rest. ”
"Rest for two hours and take turns to change guards. In the middle of the night, that's when we set out. ”
Leaving this sentence, Bai Liwen sat down directly and leaned against the tree next to her, her eyes closed.
"Okay, I'll be in charge of the first post."
Nodding, Ning Yue strode forward and walked to the outermost position of the camp. As far as the eye could see, there was a dim cloud of mist. The gentle night breeze brought a faint coldness, which calmed his somewhat hot mood a little.
I always feel that this thing is not quite right, and there are too many strange places. But if you think about it, it's not that there are some strange things that can't be explained without reason.
"Something is wrong, just to be on the safe side, can't go. However, if you just look at the reality from a distance, it shouldn't be a big problem......"
Woowoooooo
At the moment of contemplation, there was a sudden sound of wolf howling in the distance, which was continuous and long, and it was particularly terrifying in the night.
In an instant, Han Jing's expression changed, and the silver light on his right wrist turned.
However, Bai Liwen, who was beside her, was not shocked, continued to close her eyes, and said softly: "It's far away from us, it's okay." However, it is likely that someone there had an encounter with the Monster. ”
"Help?"
Yin Jintong asked suspiciously, picked up the giant axe with his hand, and carried it on his shoulder.
"Not necessarily. This voice spread far away, and presumably many demonic beasts and sect powerhouses would hear it, and they would all pass a lot. We don't have to meddle, it's better to continue to rest. ”
Ning Yue shook his head, this wolf howl was just a small episode in the night. In the following time, there was a lot of alarm and beast roars in the distant wind.
These two hours, the rest is not good.
……
The night was deep, and it was very difficult to walk through the mountains and forests in the fog, so as not to be noticed, the group did not make a fire, and Bai Liwen explored the way in front, and the remaining few people followed quietly.
As for why Bai Liwen's eyes could see the road ahead clearly in this situation, Ning Yue asked curiously, but no one answered him, so he had to give up.
After another hour or so, the fog was not as thick as it had been at first, and a few shades of gray and white could be seen in the dim darkness of the night sky, and there was not much time left in the night. Luckily, several of the people who passed through also reached their goal. Hidden in the forest on the hillside, under the girl's raised hand and fingers, a very hidden cave is faintly visible under the staggered mountains and rocks in the distance.
"From the outside, there's nothing special."
Yin Jintong said casually, his eyes swept around, under the hillside, there were only a few clusters of gravel on the barren land, and there were no other trees. At the foot of the mountain in the distance, there are many dark corners where the rocks overlap and abruptly, and there are many dark corners that can be hidden.
"A very good stronghold, whether it is out of instinct or strategy, these monsters are not simple."
Once, Ning Yue had participated in the Yunxu Sword Pavilion's mission to exterminate the bandits, and had seen their camp construction, and one thing was the same as what he saw at this moment. hidden, and there are many hiding places in the shadows. Perhaps at this moment, a few pairs of eyes were watching them in the imperceptible darkness.
Nodding slightly, Bai Liwen put her fingers together, a faint blue light flashed between her fingers, and then swept in front of her eyes, her eyes closed and closed, and when she opened it again, there was a faint light in the middle of her eyes.
"Sure enough, there was an ambush. There are only five demonic beasts that I can see, and they are very well hidden, and with the help of the night, ordinary human powerhouses will only be discovered before they are discovered. ”
"Can you solve it all quietly?" Han Jing asked tentatively.
Bai Liwen shook her head directly and replied, "No way." No matter which direction we go from, we will only be discovered first. Even if you are lucky enough to get close to one of them, how do you make the others turn a blind eye? Fortunately, these five demonic beasts, I can see these five, the strength is not strong, and only one is the Spirit Awakening Realm. ”
"Do you mean to gamble? Even if it's discovered, it doesn't matter? ”
Xue Che snorted lukewarmly and shrugged his shoulders again.
"Anyway, I'm not going to go on any adventure that I'm not sure of."
"The truth is unknown, so keep waiting. We don't have much time left, but it's not yet the last moment to burn our eyebrows. ”
Ning Yue glanced at the night sky, there should be one last hour left before the dawn broke.
"I'm afraid, we can't wait."
Suddenly, Bai Liwen exclaimed, her voice was deliberately lowered, but her surprise could still be heard clearly.
"What's wrong?"
Han Jing was startled, followed her gaze, and vaguely, it seemed that he saw a shaky black shadow at the mouth of the hidden cave, judging from the movements, it should be...... On the run?
Very panicked and hasty, a human form is faintly visible, not a demonic beast.
"It was a woman, ragged and bloody, very panicked. It seems that the defenses of these monsters are pretty bad. Bai Liwen whispered, and soon, her eyebrows were raised, and there was a faint hint of joy in her voice.
"Seemingly, we had a lot of luck. This woman appeared, and the demonic beasts in the dark were all attracted - not just five, there were seven! They all chased after the woman. She's running, fast but unsteady...... The direction happens to be on our side? ”
"Huh?"
Ning Yue was stunned, and at the same moment, Yin Jintong was already dragging the giant axe upside down, ready to go.
The double swords were unsheathed, Xue Che looked at the fleeing figure in the distance, and frowned slightly: "Is it a bit too coincidental?" But since the opportunity has come, let's give it a try, and if you let it go, I'm afraid there will be no other chance this time. ”
One hundred meters.
The woman's hands and feet fled in a hurry, and when she looked back, her face became more and more pale and frightened.
Eighty meters.
The distance between chasing and being chased gradually shortened, and the wheezing sound of the monster was rude and clear.
Fifty meters.
Boom!
The woman fell, struggling to get up, and suddenly, a hot fishy stench hit her, and when she looked up, she saw an open mouth of blood above.
"Oh, don't!"
"Do it, save people!"
At the same moment, Yin Jintong raised his voice and shouted, and the first one sprinted out, swinging the giant axe round the air, and the shining cold light seemed to tear the night apart in advance!
