Zhang Xuanji also discovered the recent weirdness.

He stood on a raised boulder, his hands behind his back, his eyes looking into the distance, his brow furrowed.

Presently.

The five Cave Mystery Realm in the team gradually came.

Zhang Xuanji turned around, his gaze slowly swept over everyone, and said worriedly:

"Guys, I've been a little nervous lately, it seems that something big is about to happen, you should have noticed something unusual recently, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the five people became a little serious, and one of the men nodded and said:

"Dean Zhang, the number of demon beasts has decreased significantly, and the materials of the Qiming Array have not been gathered so far, and the dark night Tianhai in a month will probably be ......"

He didn't say it explicitly in the second half of the sentence, but several people knew it, and their faces were a little ugly.

The destination of this trip is the Netherworld, but the Netherworld is in the dark night and the sea.

As for the Dark Night Sky Sea, it was an extremely strange place in the Wild Lands, covering a radius of 30,000 li.

Whether it is a demon beast or a cultivator, as long as they enter the range of the Dark Night Heavenly Sea, they will fall into darkness up and down, left and right.

This kind of darkness is extremely black and very corrosive.

Both the body and the soul are corrupted by darkness from the outer ear.

And most importantly, ordinary methods cannot dispel the darkness at all, and only special methods can obtain light.

It took a long time of research on the Shanhaiguan side before he came up with a formation called the Qiming Array.

The Qiming Array is not of high grade, and the layout is simple, which can protect everyone from the invasion of darkness in it.

However, it can only be limited to the range of 800 miles.

After stepping into the Dark Night Heavenly Sea for more than eight hundred miles, the darkness will rise to a higher level, and the Enlightenment Array will not be very effective.

Of course, the Netherworld Pool happened to be five hundred miles on the edge of the Dark Night Heavenly Sea, so there was no need to go deep into it.

But now, without demon beasts, there are no formation materials, and everyone doesn't dare to step into it, let alone go to the Netherworld Pool to get some demon stones.

Zhang Xuanji's demeanor hadn't changed much, and it was obvious that he had known about it for a long time.

"Dean Zhang, why don't you ask that alchemy master?

With that master's noble character, I don't think he would be a spectator.

And everyone is a human race, so they should fight the demons together! ”

Just when everyone was silent, Concubine Liu bit her red lips lightly, groaned in her heart, and finally stepped forward and put forward this idea.

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the rest of the people lit up.

Makes sense.

Zhang Xuanji of the True Blood Realm couldn't help it, but that alchemy master was a Hou-level powerhouse!

If he helps, the Demon Suppression Stone for this trip should be nine out of ten.

But Zhang Xuanji's next words poured a basin of cold water on everyone's heads.

"That's not right, not to mention whether the person who left the Great Wall and came to the wilderness this time has his own things to do.

Even if I want to ask his old man for help, there is no way to get in touch.

You must know that even Gu Xiaoran, a disciple of his old man, is completely unaware of this. ”

Hearing this, the five Cave Xuan Realm elders immediately calmed down.

Concubine Liu secretly poked and poked at Zhang Xuanji, but she didn't think so in her heart.

An old man, where is the old man?

And at this time on the other side, under the bushes.

Qi Huai closed his eyes, as if he was taking a nap.

Actually, he was eavesdropping.

Zhang Xuanji and the others thought that God knew it, but the six of them knew it, but in fact, Qi Huai had already heard it all.

It's just that he can't help it when he hears it.

There is such a thing as a demon beast, and he can't conjure it out of thin air.

Qi Huai sighed and shook his head secretly.

Soon, the halfway break was over.

The group packed up their things and began to continue on their way.

Not much walking.

Qi Huai's footsteps in the middle of the team paused slightly, and suddenly stopped.

Gu Xiaoran, who was beside him, turned his head in surprise and asked casually.

"What's wrong?"

Qi Huai shook his head, his body was as usual, his face remained unchanged, and he replied, "It's okay, there is a small pebble on the ground, and I knocked it out." ”

"Uh-oh." Gu Xiaoran did not doubt it.

Zhang Xuanji, who was at the front of the team, turned his head and glanced at it, but he didn't care much.

Apparently, he didn't notice anything unusual either.

As everyone knows, when they all turned their heads, the corners of Qi Huai's mouth raised a slight arc.

His slightly upturned right index finger slowly retracted it.

......

About two miles away from the crowd, there stood an irregular boulder that could be seen everywhere on the desolate land.

At the bottom of the stone, an earthy yellow rattlesnake that almost melted into the ground raised its head.

The rattlesnake spits out the snake hyacinth and makes a sizzling sound.

This is an ordinary Tinder Realm snake demon with nothing special except for its eyes.

In the center of the extremely human pupils, there is another pair of strange eyes.

It's the same as the green snake that was entrenched on the leaves of the strange big flower before.

The rattlesnake just stared at Zhang Xuanji like this, and they disappeared from sight, and did not choose to follow behind, very cautious.

It's just that what it doesn't know is.

Just behind it, in the shadow of the big stone, a pair of pure black pupils suddenly appeared, just looking at it quietly.

Again, the eye doesn't move.

It thought it was smart, but it didn't know that everything had already fallen into Qi Huai's eyes.

Merely......

"It's just a little trick to lure the snake out of the hole." Qi Huai thought so.

A whole afternoon.

The people in Shanhaiguan still haven't encountered a single demon beast.

To be precise, everyone except Qi Huai has never even seen a single hair of the demon beast.

Qi Huai was different, he had secretly observed nine snakes along the way, but he didn't do anything.

The man who controls the basilisk behind his back is very cautious.

Each snake is resolutely used only once, and the next time it appears, it will definitely be a new snake demon that can perfectly blend in with the terrain.

He is like an experienced hunter, quietly waiting for the best time.

And Zhang Xuanji and them are the prey of this person.

It's a pity that the praying mantis catches cicadas, and the yellow finch follows.

For Qi Huai, he himself is the real hunter.

Zhang Xuanji and them are just bait.

Soon.

Night falls.

The group also happened to arrive at the camping site that had been determined a long time ago.

As usual, everyone gathered firewood, lit a fire, cooked food, and then went into the tent to rest.

And on this night, twelve different snake demons appeared around the campsite.

It appears almost every half hour, and each time it sneaks in from all directions and different directions.

Secretly, the man seemed to be sure that the person who killed the big flower that night was not in the team.

However, judging by the frequency of that person's appearance.

The best time is clearly coming.

The darkness before dawn is the deepest and deepest time for people to sleep.

Again, it is also the time when vigilance is most relaxed.

The person who was assigned to keep vigil during this time tonight was none other than Concubine Liu.

She sat boredly by the fire with her knees together, slightly distracted, as if thinking of someone.

Suddenly.

The flames in front of her flickered coldly, but she didn't care.

Before I could do it, the earth began to tremble slightly, and the fire that had been built collapsed.

Concubine Liu raised her head violently and looked at the sky in the distance, which had revealed the white belly of the fish.

The tremors grew stronger and stronger, and billowing smoke and dust rose.

An incomparably vast black wave with no edge in sight was rushing towards her at an unimaginable speed.

In an instant, Concubine Liu's pupils shrank sharply, and her face changed greatly.

That's a myriad of demon beasts.

Is that... Beast tide!
