Chapter 19: Corpse Poison
At night, boundless darkness falls from the sky and envelops the land.
Hefeng Town was brightly lit, and foreign warriors formed a team of threes and twos to patrol around the town. In the distance, the roar of demon beasts came from time to time in the direction of Ha'an City, and it was a little difficult to sleep in this dark night.
Just after the end of the day, Lin Xiaofei and the five of them walked out of the small courtyard of the escort team, went straight through the street and out of the town, and headed in the direction of He'an City in the distance.
The speed of several people was very fast, and they were like five phantoms shuttling in the darkness under the dark night, and they came outside Ha'an City in a short time.
At this time, there was still a circle of beasts and monsters outside He'an City, but it was much quieter than during the day, most of them rested on the spot, and only a few roared from time to time among the beasts.
Lin Xiaofei and the five of them were about to approach the herd of beasts, and suddenly turned around and headed to the left. The group went around to the north of Ha'an Castle, and then continued northward, and in a short time they came to a mountain range.
There were a few sporadic lights in the night sky, and through the faint light it was clear that the mountain range was not very large, but stretched to both sides, about a hundred miles long, and the mountains and rivers within it were undulating.
"Zhao Xiaowu, Zhao Xiaoliu, you two are good at tracking the art of tracking, and follow the trail in front. Fat man, you and Cao Wei are on both sides, I am in the middle, we are not too far away, and we take good care of each other. ”
Before coming, Lin Xiaofei learned that although the two Zhao brothers had cultivated to only the Mortal Fetal Sevenfold Realm, their fathers were born hunters and were good at tracking and hunting wild beasts in the mountains and forests.
And Cao Wei, as the nominal captain, will not have any objections to Lin Xiaofei's arrangement. However, Zhao Xiaowu's face was a little reluctant.
"I'm afraid of it, we're on both sides and behind you, as soon as you find out, just shout, we can arrive immediately!" Song Zifeng glared at Zhao Xiaowu.
Zhao Xiaowu muttered, but he and Zhao Xiaoliu were the first to enter the mountain range. Immediately afterwards, Cao Wei and Song Zifeng also spread out to both sides and entered the mountain range, and then Lin Xiaofei also followed in the direction of the Zhao brothers.
About an hour after entering the mountain range, Lin Xiaofei suddenly heard Zhao Xiaowu's roar and angry shouts in front of him, echoing in the silent mountain forest.
Lin Xiaofei accelerated suddenly, and the whole person rushed forward and flew out, and after a while, he had already arrived at the two Zhao Xiaowu brothers. At this time, Zhao Xiaoliu fell to the ground in the distance and did not move, Zhao Xiaowu was fighting with a person, seeing that the person's clothes were actually a disciple of the outer sect of the Ascending Heaven Sect, and his cultivation was already a mortal eightfold realm, Zhao Xiaowu was already defeated and retreated under his attack.
Lin Xiaofei kicked the ground with his right foot, and the whole person jumped up, instantly crossed a distance of several zhang, and landed in front of the two. He grabbed Zhao Xiaowu with his left hand and threw him out, and at the same time, his right hand formed a fist and blasted out with a punch, confronting the man with a punch.
"Bang!"
With both fists banged, the man took a few steps back, his body trembling slightly. Lin Xiaofei stood in place and did not move, but he frowned suddenly, because with the punch just now, the person on the opposite side actually had the strength of ten horses, but this person was clearly only a mortal fetal eightfold realm cultivator.
Moreover, this person is also a disciple of the same sect, why did he have a conflict with the two brothers Zhao Xiaowu? Suddenly, the person on the other side let out a low cry in his mouth and rushed over again.
Lin Xiaofei didn't think about it anymore, although he knew that this person was also a disciple of the outer sect of the Ascending Heaven Sect, but since he wanted to find death, it would fulfill him!
Lin Xiaofei's waist bowed slightly, and the whole person was like a fierce tiger suddenly pounced, his right hand bent like a spirit snake swimming, and his right fist suddenly clenched and burst out. With a pair of fists, the man retreated again, and Lin Xiaofei followed, his figure flickering, and several figures flashed in an instant.
In a flash, Lin Xiaofei suddenly appeared on the other party's side, his left arm bent forward and upward, and slammed on the opponent's jaw, and at the same time, he clenched his fist with his right hand, hooked a half circle, and slammed a punch on the opponent's head.
"Bang!"
The man's body was crooked, and he slammed it to the ground, rolled around a few times, rolled out a few feet away, and his whole head was half deflated, and he was silent.
"What's going on?" At this time, Cao Wei and Song Zifeng also arrived just in time.
"Little Six, Little Six!" Zhao Xiaowu exclaimed. Song Zifeng stepped forward in two steps, leaned over to check, and said, "Don't worry, he just fainted by Ju Lizhen, and it's fine." Zhao Xiaowuyi was relieved when he heard this, but it was still Zhao Xiaoliu who was in a coma with his eyes intact.
Cao Wei walked up to the man who fell to the ground, looked at it slightly, and frowned: "This person is also a disciple of the Outer Sect of the Ascending Heaven Sect, and he should be a member of the team that entered the mountain range to pursue the red-eyed pig demon, how could you have a conflict?"
Lin Xiaofei couldn't help but shrug his shoulders when he saw Cao Wei looking at him, and then glanced at Zhao Xiaowu.
Zhao Xiaowu once again made sure that Zhao Xiaoliu was breathing normally and his body was fine, before he got up and said, "Xiao Liu and I followed the traces of the demon beast to find here, and this guy suddenly rushed out from there. When we saw that he was a disciple of the same sect and a foreign sect, we thought that he should be a member of another team, and we wanted to ask him about the red-eyed pig demon, but we didn't think that he would attack us like he was crazy without saying a word. ”
"Like crazy?" Cao Wei's eyes suddenly showed shock, and he leaned over again to carefully inspect the body of the disciple of the outer sect, and then pondered for a moment before saying: "There are ancient records that the red-eyed pig demon is an ancient evil beast, which likes to live in dark and damp places, eats carrion corpses, and contains corpse poison in its mouth. If you are bitten by it, you will not die in the short term, and you will be controlled by the poison of its corpse, and you will lose your mind and become more aggressive. ”
As he spoke, he lifted the sleeve of the disciple's trousers, and several people saw that there was an obvious bite on the man's calf, a large piece of flesh at the wound had rotted and was jet black, and the carrion rolled outward, emitting a pungent stench, and even poisonous insects wriggled inside, which looked very terrifying.
"I'm grass, it's disgusting!" Song Zifeng spat and couldn't help but scold.
Lin Xiaofei also frowned slightly, and said, "This person only has the cultivation of the Mortal Eightfold Realm, but his attack power has exceeded the power of ten horses. As he spoke, he glanced at the Zhao brothers, obviously with the cultivation of the Sevenfold Realm of the Mortal Fetus, they were lucky not to be seriously injured.
Cao Wei pondered slightly and said: "I think it should be caused by the corpse poison of the red-eyed pig demon, the corpse poison will make people lose their minds, and in the short term, it will stimulate the potential power of those who have been poisoned by the corpse, so that they can exert the power beyond their own cultivation. There are also people or animals who have been poisoned by the corpse of the red-eyed pig demon, even if they are not killed, it will not be long before they will be devoured by the poisonous insects born from the corpse poison. ”
Song Zifeng couldn't help but scold again, and then said: "It seems that this quenching pill is not so easy to get." ”
Cao Wei smiled indifferently and said: "If the inner sect directly sends a team of inner sect disciples over, it should be easy to solve this matter, but the sect has always treated the outer sect disciples like this, believing that only those who can withstand the test of life and death and break through to the innate realm are qualified to become inner sect disciples." ”
While several people were talking, Zhao Xiaoliu also woke up from a coma, and Zhao Xiaowu briefly explained the current situation to him.
"There should be five people in the team that entered the mountain range to search for the red-eyed pig demon, so it is not surprising that the other four people may have also been poisoned by the corpse of the red-eyed pig demon. ”
Lin Xiaofei glanced at the Zhao brothers and Cao Wei, the Zhao brothers only had the cultivation of the Mortal Fetus Sevenfold Realm, and Cao Wei only had the cultivation of the Mortal Fetus Eightfold Realm. Let's not talk about whether there are any other powerful demon beasts in this mountain forest in addition to the red-eyed pig demon, even the other four disciples of the other team of foreign sects, if they really fall into the corpse poison of the red-eyed pig demon, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with.
Several people heard what Lin Xiaofei meant, and they all frowned slightly, but they were still very hesitant, after all, the Quenching Body Pill was really an extremely precious elixir for the disciples of the Outer Sect, and with a Quenching Pill, it was basically certain that they could be promoted to a disciple of the Inner Sect.
Lin Xiaofei saw that the three of them didn't want to give up, and they also needed the tracking skills of the two Zhao brothers next, so he said: "Next, let's act together, don't scatter." ”
When Zhao Xiaowuyi heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, thinking that if several people acted together, it would be much safer to follow Lin Xiaofei and Song Zifeng.
Song Zifeng smiled indifferently and said, "What are you afraid of, when we kill the red-eyed pig demon, everyone will be able to obtain a body quenching pill, and it won't be long before we can become a disciple of the inner sect." ”
Cao Wei's eyes also showed resoluteness. The two brothers Zhao Xiaowu didn't talk much nonsense, and continued to track the traces left by the demon beasts in the mountains and forests.
Several people continued to march deeper into the mountains.
