The faint smell of blood in the air is extremely light, if it weren't for the fact that several people are people who have been bathed in blood all year round, and they have an extraordinary sensitivity to blood, they really can't smell the slightest bit of blood.

When everyone looked around, everything was as calm as water, and their vision was very limited under dark conditions, and there was nothing unusual everywhere they looked.

The golden and red shimmers in Yu Zhang's eyes flickered, and with the help of the power of the divine beast, his eyes could reach farther and see the scene in the darkness clearly.

But what he saw, like the other three, did not find the slightest abnormality.

At this time, a bright light suddenly came from behind, and Yu Zhang looked back and found that it was Xiaoyun's doing.

She held a crystal ball in her hand, from which white light shot out in all directions, illuminating a small dark area.

With the faint light, everyone observed the surrounding environment more clearly, but Yu Zhang had already confirmed that there was no abnormality.

"Ahh

"What's wrong?!" the other three asked her, and gathered together.

They looked at Xiaoyun's feet, where there were many tadpole-like black shadows coming and going among the tangled roots, and at Xiaoyun's ankles, there were many of them, and traces of blood oozed from her ankles.

The source of the bloody breath that everyone has been curious about is from here!

"Mu Shuang!"

Mu Hua urgently called Mu Shuang's name, and the two of them cooperated in an instant.

Mu Shuang picked up Xiaoyun from behind and pulled out of the spa, and the small black shadow creatures were still attached to her ankles, and they were also pulled out together.

Mu Hua drew his long sword and slashed quickly.

I saw a flash of sword light, and those black shadow creatures were all cut off from the middle, and the second half fell into the water, staining the water surface red, and the first half was still only attached to Xiaoyun's ankle!

Seeing that this was wrong, Mu Hua stepped forward with one foot, and wanted to pull out the unknown monsters that were only attached to her feet with his hands.

"Don't move! I'll come!" Yu Zhang shouted, taking the initiative to step forward, the red light in his hand shone slightly, and a scorching flame burned slowly.

Yu Zhang waved his palm quickly, and the flames drifted by, and the first half of the bodies of those black shadow creatures were instantly burned to ashes.

Yu Zhang's fire control skills were superb, perfectly eliminating those dark shadow creatures, and it didn't hurt Xiaoyun at all.

Even so, after the dark shadow creature completely faded, it was left with a shallow wound, and blood flowed from the wound.

"Light heals!" Xiao Yun, as the only healer in the team, used the most common and effective relationship healing technique.

But the time passed, and the bleeding from the wound did not stop at all.

"With such a small wound, the healing technique is actually ineffective?" Xiao Yun also panicked and let out a surprised voice.

Seeing this, the experienced Mu Hua immediately understood that all this was the masterpiece of the black shadow creature.

"What kind of spirit beast is this?" Mu Hua was very puzzled, in the past few years that he had been an adventurer, he had never seen or heard of such a small spirit beast.

Before anyone could answer, under the water, more black shadow creatures were attracted by the blood, piled in pieces, except for the smaller ones at the beginning, and longer and thicker black shadow creatures of the same kind swam out of the interlaced roots, like black snakes, and quickly swam towards everyone.

So far, the kind of black shadow creature that reminded the most, in Mu Hua's perception, actually had the level of a third-order spirit beast, and it was no weaker than those famous poisonous snakes!

The black shadow creatures are densely packed, like a thousand snakes coming out of a hole, surrounding everyone, which makes people feel terrible.

"Retreat first!" Yu Zhang was the first to speak, and he himself took the lead, his hands were sealed, the blue luster in his eyes shone, and the shallow water in front of him instantly froze.

The water freezes quickly, more than twice as fast as a quad of four.

"It's a little slippery, just rush to the ice and slide away!" Yu Zhang shouted.

Mu Hua took the small cloud in Mu Shuang's arms and rushed to the ice first, Yu Zhang waved his hand, and a skating board on the ice was formed, carrying the two of them all the way forward.

Mu Shuang was broken in the rear, and she finally got her hands free, without holding her companion in her hands. She pulled out the thin sword in her scabbard, closed her eyes for a moment, and the next moment, she opened her eyes awe-inspiringly, and at the same time, the thin sword in her hand swung out a long sword aura.

The sword qi swung into the water, stretched for dozens of meters, set off a splash in the sky, and cut off a large number of black shadow creatures in the water.

But it was only a drop in the bucket, and the number of dark shadows gathered in the water far exceeded the ones she had cut off.

Then, Mu Shuang flexibly retracted the thin sword into the scabbard, and jumped on the ice with a soft leap, and Yu Chang once again made a skating board and sent Mu Shuang forward.

On his own, he was able to glide steadily on the ice standing on his feet, without the aid of any tools.

When the four of them fled, the ice behind them was still shattering, and from under the ice, a large number of black snake-like creatures broke through the ice and broke through the ice.

Fortunately, the four of them ran fast and had already distanced themselves and reached the shore safely.

Mu Hua and Mu Shuang's feet were also entangled in a few of those black shadow creatures at some point, and they were bigger than the ones Xiao Yun had provoked before.

Mu Hua and Mu Shuang both subconsciously raised their swords to cut, but the result was the same as at that time, half of them were cut off, and half of them were left on the flesh.

"Brother Yu, please. Mu Hua begged, "Expel Mu Shuang first." ”

At his request, Yu Zhang burned the strange creatures biting on their feet for the two of them in turn, and the symptoms of the two were the same as Xiaoyun's, even if it was a small wound, it still bled non-stop.

When the treatment failed, the three injured people took out the prepared cloth bands and herbs from their packages, applied them to the wounds, and wrapped them tightly.

The cloth band was rapidly stained red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the blood could not be stopped.

Looking at the wound on Xiaoyun's ankle again, the amount of bleeding was not as much as that of Mu Hua and Mushuang, and the white cloth strip on her foot was only half dyed red.

"Xiaoyun, if you continue to perform healing techniques, it's not that it's ineffective, but it's just ineffective. Yu Zhang said.

Hearing this, even though Xiao Yun was in a panic, he did so, and the warm light sprinkled on the wounds of the injured like sunlight, bringing warm currents.

"Brother Yu, hearing what you say, you seem to know something about this monster?" Mu Hua quickly sensed through Yu Zhang's words and deeds.

Yu Zhang nodded and said slowly: "A spirit beast of that shape should be a leech spirit beast. And the kind we just encountered is a species called the bloodthirsty leech. ”

"According to books, bloodthirsty leeches are extremely sensitive to the blood of any living being, even if it is separated by a layer of flesh. ”

"They will bite on the body of the prey with their unique mouthparts and inject a special venom that can paralyze the sensory nerves of the prey, and can also prevent the organism from healing itself, making it bleed endlessly, so that it can be better fed by them. ”

"Not only is the innate ability of organisms to heal themselves, including external healing techniques and herbs, greatly reduced by the effect of this venom, but it is not completely ineffective. Xiaoyun is bleeding less than the two of you now, and that's why. ”

"Bloodthirsty leeches are weak individually, but they are better in numbers. In the swamp just now, according to my preliminary estimate, I am afraid that there are millions of them, and even if a strong person or spirit beast is bitten by one thousandth or one thousandth of those millions, it is enough to die of blood loss. ”

"And once you are bitten, you must not force it. If you're lucky, you'll only have a monster's head to bite into the flesh, and if you're unlucky, the flesh will be torn off for you. ”

When the three of them heard this, they couldn't help but shiver a few times, and they were glad that they had just slipped away quickly, and there were knowledgeable people to help deal with it properly.
