Picture 25: The Hunter and the Prey

Walking across the 100-kilometer-long moat bridge, you will be greeted by an endless sea of green and towering trees everywhere.

Lu Jiahe walked along the forest path, and saw many monks of different costumes and different ranks coming and going between the dense forests along the way.

In the silent forest, people and horses from all walks of life walked quietly, with a pair of vigilant eyes, constantly paying attention to the shadows in the surrounding trees, holding the weapons at their waists tightly in their palms, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.

In the Demon Beast Forest, between hunters and prey, roles will constantly change, and sometimes there will be life-and-death fights between hunters and hunters, and between prey and prey. No one can guarantee when your kind will show their fangs at you. Even as a first-time visitor to the Demon Beast Forest, Lu Jiahe also understood this truth.

"Little guy, it's the first time you go out, do you want to come to my sister's wolf tooth mercenary group, let's hunt together, and you will share what you get when the time comes" In a mercenary group not far from the Lu family and not far away, a bewitching woman kept waving to him.

She deliberately scratched her head when she spoke, her eyes were rippling, coupled with her bumpy figure, the wolf tooth mercenary group members and the male cultivators passing by on the side were all glazed over, and the corners of her mouth were overflowing.

"Thank you sister for your kindness, I secretly ran out of the sect, I just want to walk around the periphery, and I won't go deeper. I have the mark of the elders on my body, and there are two senior brothers from the sect following me, so it is inconvenient to disturb my sister" The Lu family and the sophisticated refused to accept the invitation of the beautiful woman, this kind of means of being attentive can only deceive those little children who have nothing to do.

As soon as the woman heard that there were spiritual imprints on their bodies, and someone secretly protected them, she thought that this young man must be the descendant of a certain big man in the Liuyun Sect, and in the distance behind him, there were indeed four eyes that kept locking on him. The two entourages were definitely not afraid of her battle master cultivation, but the spiritual imprint gave him a headache, and after a little stroke, the beautiful woman barely showed a smile, "The demon beast forest is dangerous everywhere, little brother can go back to the sect after a little look at the scenery, so as not to worry your elders." My sister and a few brothers still have important matters, so they will say goodbye first" With a wave of the jade hand, the wolf tooth mercenary group quickly disappeared into the dense forest.

Lu Jiahe was in the God of War City, and the spiritual power of the cultivator beyond the pneumatic realm had already sensed that there were two people following him, and he had a quarrel with Bai Zhennan not long ago, and he knew that these two people were sent by Bai Zhennan to hunt down and kill him. He is currently wearing the dust shelter of the Liuyun Sect, and in a crowded place, these two will definitely not dare to start, but once they reach a secluded place, the two will definitely show their fangs. How to get rid of the tracking of these two people, neither advancing nor retreating, this made Lu Jiahe have a headache.

Now turning back may force the two dogs to jump over the wall and forcibly kill themselves, they can only try their luck in the depths of the forest, thinking of this, Lu Jiahe ran wildly, he didn't dare to use the 'Aerial Technique' in the Demon Beast Forest, once he was placed in the air, he might soon be pecked by the birds and monsters as a snack. He was indeed followed closely by Bai Quan and Bai Gui's brother sent by Bai Zhennan, a seven-fold pneumatic realm and a high-level warrior. This kind of thing to exclude dissidents for Bai Zhennan The two brothers did a lot of it. Bai Gui has mastered an advanced tracking technique, as long as he finds the clothes of the tracked person, through the smell, he can capture the traces of the tracked person from a distance of more than ten miles, this trick has been tried and tested, and every time they can catch the prey.

Before leaving, Bai Zhennan asked his entourage to bring his folding fan, which contained the smell of the Lu family and his body. The Bai family brothers originally planned to let Lu Jiahe go into the depths of the forest to make another move, after all, Lu Jiahe was still wearing the clothes of the inner disciples of the Liuyun Sect, and he openly attacked too close to the God of War City, and it was inevitable that they would be inadvertently discovered, so that when they returned to the sect, Bai Zhengjing would not be able to deal with the aftermath, so they always kept a distance of four or five miles from the Lu family.

Bai Gui took up the secret technique and smelled the air, and said unhurriedly, "Brother, that kid's breath is gradually fading, it seems that he has gone to the depths of the forest, he shouldn't have noticed that we are following him, right?"

Bai Quan, who was still the old god, looked nervous when he heard this, "It's hard to say, it's better for us to follow closely, if they let them run away, Nan Shao won't be able to skin us alive when they go back."

The two brothers followed quickly, and their cultivation was much higher than that of Caitou, although they deliberately slowed down their escape technique, they always kept a certain distance from Lu Jiahe.

However, it is taboo to run quickly in the Demon Beast Forest, the reproduction speed of low-level demon beasts is no less than that of humans, and demon beasts are born with a physique far beyond that of humans, although they can't cultivate the secret books of martial arts, and their instinctive cultivation is also very slow, but the numerical advantage is enough to crush humans. Although the Lu family's spiritual power had far surpassed that of ordinary pneumatic realm cultivators, his powerful perception ability allowed him to avoid many low-level demon beasts living in dense forest caves, but he still encountered several lone first-order low-level demon beasts along the way. The first-order demon beast has not yet opened its intelligence, and like ordinary beasts, as long as it sees a human being, it will take the initiative to attack.

It was originally an easy task to deal with a few lone first-order demon beasts far beyond the strength of an intermediate warrior, but because he had no actual combat experience, Lu Jiahe still spent a lot of effort to solve the trouble. The Bai brothers also encountered a few first-order demon beasts, and compared to him, the two brothers seemed to be at ease.

Listening to the sound of fighting not far away, Lu Jiahe's heart tightened, and he hurriedly ran the 'Concealment Technique', took out the map purchased by God of War City, quickly browsed it, and then concentrated his attention and carefully chose the road. However, he found out how to change his route, and the two behind him followed him endlessly, and now Lu Jiahe understood that he should be targeted by some special tracking technique, and now Lu Jiahe's face became difficult to see, this place is already far away from God of War City, as long as he is caught up by the two behind, he will definitely be unable to escape death.

Just as he was in distress, a wolf roar of "whoa, whoa" suddenly came from the front, followed by a rush of footsteps. Soon more than a dozen figures appeared in his field of vision, led by the beautiful woman who greeted him before, a war division with more than a dozen soldiers was chased and ran, Lu Jiahe broke out in a cold sweat, and it must be a very terrifying demon beast chasing them.

Lu Jiahe's concealment technique was useless in front of the beautiful woman, "Little brother, don't go forward, hurry up and run back, run as far as you can, there are more than a dozen Yin Wind Demon Wolves behind, and the number is still increasing, let's lure them away." After that, he ignored Lu Jiahe and ran in the other direction with the wolf tooth mercenary group.

When Lu Jiahe heard this, he was almost scared, the Yin Wind Demon Wolf, a second-order primary demon beast, is no less powerful than an intermediate warrior, the key is that when they attack, the sharp front claws will carry a lightning attack, as long as they are hit by their front paws, even the strongest warriors in the flesh will be numb all over the body, and there is a possibility that the body will be paralyzed if they resist a few blows, and then the wolves will attack it in groups, and the sharp fangs and claws are enough to tear the senior warrior into pieces of meat.

Thinking of this, Lu Jiahe originally wanted to run back, but when he thought that the two behind him were not far behind him, he then adjusted his direction and chased in the direction of the wolf tooth mercenary group. When the Bai brothers in the back found that Lu Jiahe had adjusted the direction again, they let out a sneer in their hearts, no matter how much they change, they can't escape, this is where you are buried. Although they also heard the wolf roar in the distance, they thought that some hunting team had encountered a wolf pack, so they ignored it at all, adjusted their direction, and stabbed it diagonally towards the Lu family.

After half a burnt incense, they finally saw Lu Jiahe, due to the gap in cultivation, Lu Jiahe was still thrown out by the wolf tooth mercenary group. Just when they were excitedly trying to speed up and catch up, they suddenly found several ghostly figures appearing not far behind the Lu family.

"Yin Wind Demon Wolf!" The Bai brothers exclaimed at the same time, and the troops in front of the Yin Wind Demon Wolf, who were chasing Lu Jiahe, suddenly stopped and roared into the air.

Although the Yin Wind Demon Wolf is only a second-order demon beast, and its spiritual intelligence is not fully opened, the wolf is cunning by nature and is much smarter than other second-order demon beasts.

There is also a wolf tooth mercenary group in front of the Lu family, and there is also a war division in it that makes them feel extremely dangerous, attacking such a team, without the support of the wolf king, they will pay a heavy price, and in the other direction, there are two relatively easy bones to gnaw, and the demon wolf with a suspicious and cunning nature immediately changed the combat goal. The two demon wolves continued to chase Lu Jiahe, and the other demon wolves turned around and quickly chased after the Bai brothers.

The sudden change made the Bai brothers' brains directly short-circuit, and after a moment's stunned, several Yin Wind Demon Wolves had already shortened the distance between them. The two of them no longer cared about whether they would run into other demon beasts, and turned around and ran wildly. However, they also underestimated the wisdom of the Yin Wind Demon Wolf, and before the two brothers could run far, their way was blocked by more than a dozen Yin Wind Demon Wolves who came to support. The Bai brothers have a dead face, often walking by the river, and it is inevitable that their shoes will get wet, and they have been playing hunters for a long time, and now they capsized in the gutter and became the prey of others.

More than two dozen Yin Wind Demon Wolves in front and behind showed their sharp fangs, and a faint bloody killing aura suddenly filled the entire jungle. Although the Wind Wolf is not very intelligent, as a group of demon beasts, their cooperation can be described as seamless. More than a dozen Yin Wind Demon Wolves in front of them separated in a fan-like manner, quickly approaching the Bai brothers.

The Bai brothers' faces were pale, but after all, they were old rivers and lakes, and cowardice in this kind of battle meant death, and it was the kind of death without a whole body. Bai Quan took a step back and stuffed a few elixirs into his mouth, placing the pills on both sides of his teeth. Bai Gui took out the talisman knife at his waist and set up a talisman shield to protect Bai Quan's body. At the same time, he whispered to his brother, "Brother, we can't fight, we must blast a bloody road to kill, if we are surrounded, we will definitely be buried in this jungle."

"I'll use the Fire Wall Technique to separate a few heads, and we'll go back the same way" Bai Quan also had no intention of fighting, facing so many Yin Wind Demon Wolves, not to mention the two brothers, even the foundation building period monks couldn't retreat with their whole body. He quickly sealed his hands, and after a few breaths, a huge wall of fire separated the dozen or so Yin Wind Demon Wolves in front of him, and then quickly launched an attack on the five Demon Wolves behind him.

Bai Quan sent out more than a dozen fireballs in a row, aiming directly at the heads of several Yin Wind Demon Wolves, but the demon wolves who were known for their agility avoided the fireballs with just a slight flash, Bai Gui set up his shield and quickly rushed towards the empty space, and Bai Quan hurriedly followed. The two demon wolves who were the first to be forced open opened their bloody mouths and bit Bai Gui's knife-holding arms and calves, and their front paws flashed with lightning, leaving a deep imprint on the floor.

Bai Gui slapped away one of the wind wolves with a giant shield, and with a swing of the talisman knife, he quickly slashed at the head of the wind wolf that bit his calf, the head was the strongest part of the wolf clan, and it was also the deadliest part.

The wind wolf dodged the fatal knife with its head, but the long knife left a foot-long wound on its body, and the bloodied demon wolf jumped up and bit Bai Gui's calf without fear of death, Bai Gui felt a sharp pain in his leg, and then his whole body was numb. Although the Yin Wind Demon Wolf is known for its speed, the physical strength of the second-level demon beast should not be underestimated, and the Wind Wolf that was slapped rolled a few heels in the air and landed and quickly joined the battle circle, and the three-headed demon wolf who was far away was already close to Bai Gui.

Seeing that his younger brother was injured, Bai Quan's younger brother quickly pulled out the medium-grade rune sword, and there were words in his mouth, and the entire middle-grade rune sword burned at a speed visible to the naked eye, and layers of fiery red qi waves emanated from the rune sword, and the yellow-level high-level spell 'Burning Plain', the flames in the sky burned the five demon wolves in front of him. Bai Guiqiang endured the pain and sacrificed a wall of water.

The four demon wolves that rushed towards Bai Gui were directly dehaired, and the demon wolf that bit Bai Gui was also a little bit of fire. Bai Gui picked up the talisman knife and slashed at its neck, blood splattered, and a wolf's head was cut off. Wolves are a group of monsters that will be avenged, and once a similar person is killed, they will inevitably attack endlessly. Seeing the tragic death of his companion, the other four lightly burned Yin Wind Demon Wolves let out a loud roar of "Woo, Woo", and more than a dozen demon wolves surrounded by the wall of fire behind them passed through directly despite the raging flames.
