Chapter 137: The Long Way Home
"Oh? What do you mean by that? Qu Wuming was trying to find out what was different about this beast tide, and he hurriedly asked.
"It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I can't really tell you much." Su Qian shook his head and said, "Before we set off, we were all forced to make a blood oath to our ancestors and to the Heavenly Dao, and we must not divulge the specific information of this operation to any human race. I can only say that the next Snow City in Northern Xinjiang will suffer the most violent blow in history, I'm afraid it will be...... Will be washed in blood! If you believe me, take a quick detour and go back to the south of your human race, and go as far as possible! ”
"How serious is it?" Qu Wuming frowned and said, "Do you know that in the snowy city of Northern Xinjiang today, there are dozens of cultivators of the Terran Refining Void Period, and now the defensive force there is also the most powerful ever!" If you Fox Clan will also participate in the attack on Snowy City, I would like to advise you not to take the lead when the time comes, try to hide behind as much as possible, and run away when the situation is not right. ”
"Dozens of cultivators in the Void Refining Period?" Su Qian thought about it for a while, but shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's useless." I really can't tell you the details, but please trust me, leave quickly, don't stay in the Northern Snowy City! ”
"Okay, since what you're saying is so serious, then I'll consider leaving Snowy City as soon as possible. However, there are still my friends there, and I'll go back and let them know first. Qu Wuming saw Su Qian's solemn expression, knowing that this beast tide would not be as relaxed as he had expected.
Su Qian knew that there was no basis for empty words, and it was difficult to persuade the song to be nameless, so he had to sigh and say, "Hey...... I knew that Qu Daoyou would definitely not leave easily. Again, try not to delay too long and leave as quickly as possible! ”
"Good! I will. Qu Wuming nodded, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said with concern, "Just now, you first pretended to attack me, and then responded passively, in case the person who escaped has already noticed it, will it be difficult for you to explain it when you go back......
"Hmph, a self-righteous, sneaky thing, why should I explain it to him? When I get back, I'm going to tell the Great Elder the news you gave, and then I'll rush back to the clan first. I didn't want to be involved in what they were planning to do. Su Qian snorted coldly.
"By the way, who is the jade-faced scholar? How can there be a way to turn people into that kind of monster? Qu Wuming asked.
"His name is Nie Yuan, and he claims to have a nickname, his name is 'Golden Snake Langjun', and he is an envoy sent by the Demon Emperor of the Demon Beast Continent." Su Qian replied, "As for that method, according to him, it was brought back from the South China Sea Demon Dragon Clan, which can turn the human race into a half-human and half-demon dragon state, and he calls it 'Demon Dragon Guard'." After the demonization, the combat power of the Terran will increase rapidly, and you can also awaken different talent spells. Similar to that demon slave like Feng Heng, there are nine other around him, almost all of them are cultivators in the god transformation stage. If you see it in the future, be careful! ”
"I see." Qu Wuming nodded when he heard this, and said in a deep voice, "This Nie Yuan is actually from the Demon Beast Continent?" It seems that behind this beast tide...... Hum! The next time I meet him, I won't let him go unharmed!" ”
"I knew that Qu Daoyou would think so." Su Qian smiled helplessly, "Qu Daoyou's temperament has really not changed at all from back then. Okay, if I say more, I should be eaten by the blood oath, anyway, I have already said a lot, with the intelligence of Qu Daoyou, I can probably guess eight or nine without leaving ten. Go back and do what you want! By the way, Qu Daoyou must be careful on the way back, don't fly too high, there are all kinds of birds of prey and demon clans patrolling in the sky, including the big demon of the Golden Eagle clan, once they are targeted, it will be troublesome. Let's leave it at that, we'll see you later! ”
"Well, thank you Elder Su! There will be a period later! I'll pay a visit to your people when I come back!" Qu Wuming hurriedly bowed his hand and said.
"Okay, then it's a word, and I'll wait for you in the clan!" Su Qian smiled, his eyes were as clear as water, and there was not the slightest hint of the contrived charm in his smile......
A moment later, two rays of light flew out from between the snow-capped mountains, walked with their backs to each other, and gradually disappeared into the vast glacier......

At Qu Nameless's speed, he should have returned to the Northern Snowy City earlier.
However, along the way, he encountered several attacks by the demon clan, although each time there was no danger, and he also harvested a few demon pills ranging from the eighth order to the thirteenth order, but Qu Wuming's heart gradually hung up.
Such a situation has never been seen in previous beast tides.
Every time there is a beast tide, the Northern Snowy City, Frost City, and Winter City will send a lot of spies to go deep into the extreme north to explore the dynamics of the beast tide, so as to make corresponding precautions.
In the past, these spies encountered groups of low-level demon beasts, or even some fierce beasts that were driven by the big demons.
Qu Wuming himself has also acted as this kind of spy, basically there are thrilling missions, and as long as the news is correct, he can receive a lot of spirit stones as a reward after he returns.
However, this time it was very different - along the way, some of those hordes of demon beasts and fierce beasts were cowering in hidden valleys and caves, and there seemed to be big demons guarding nearby, and it was almost impossible to see the low-level demon beasts running around the mountains and fields as before.
And the Terran scouts who go deep into the snowy mountains will be targeted by the big demons scattered everywhere early, and they will fall miserably under the siege of the big demons at some point, and they will become a snack in the mouths of the demon beasts.
Qu Wuming's way back has also become extremely slow because of this, and sometimes in order to avoid being discovered by those patrolling demons, he has to avoid it from a distance, or even hide for a while, so as not to cause unnecessary fights - since the thirteenth-order demons have all run out to patrol, will the more powerful demons be far away?
Even with the two clones of Qu Wuxuan and Qu Siqiu, Qu Wuming is not confident enough to think that he can challenge the big demons above the fourteenth and fifteenth orders head-on!
Once blocked by such a big demon, it's really hard to say whether he can escape back to Snowy City alive......
After all, people and demons have different paths, and they belong to different camps, and Qu Wuming was still a little skeptical of Su Qian's reminder before. But now, Qu Wuming has believed ninety percent of Su Qian's previous words!
Not to mention whether the demon clan has any other hidden methods this time, just the gathering of those demons above the ninth order who have seen along the way is also an extremely terrifying force. If they were to rush into the snowy city, it would be enough to inflict devastating casualties on the low-level cultivators and ordinary soldiers of the human race!
We must rush back to the snowy city in Northern Xinjiang as soon as possible, and remind the defenders to invite all the seniors in the city who are in the refining period out as soon as possible, otherwise if you have a plan or not, I am afraid that the city gate will not be protected!
Qu Wuming thought like this, and his mood to rush back to Snowy City as soon as possible became more and more eager, and he did not hesitate to spend more mana to push the stealth effect of the Void Concealment Robe to the extreme.
Looking from afar, Qu Wuming, who was wearing a robe of no concealment, was like a faint phantom as transparent as water, and if he didn't look at it directly, he would almost never be able to see it. Even if you investigate with the power of your divine sense, as long as the power of your divine sense is not as good as Qu Wuming, you won't be able to find out that there is someone there quietly flying away!
Qu Wuming didn't dare to fly too fast, like a ghost walking through the dense forests and meadows at the foot of the snowy mountain, if he found that there was a demon clan hiding or patrolling, he would quietly detour in advance.
————
"At this rate, I'm afraid it will take another day to return to Snowy City!" Qu Wuming lay on top of a boulder, looked at the low-level demon beasts in the valley not far away, calculated the route behind him, and quietly retreated after a while.
Leaving the valley, Qu Wuming discerned the direction, like a ghost, fluttering through a dense forest, and by the dappled sunlight in the forest, flew towards the mountain pass between the two mountains in the distance.
After about a stick of incense, Qu Wuming was getting closer and closer to the mountain pass.
The distance between the two mountains is very wide, and it is a sparse meadow about three miles wide. The meadows are overgrown with shrubs, with the occasional low tree growing crookedly on the uneven hillside. In the middle of the meadow, there is a babbling stream, and the sun is shining at this time, shining the water like a jade belt full of precious stones extending from the mountain pass to an unknown distance.
Qu Wuming hid behind a big tree, and the power of his divine sense quietly poked out, and he didn't find any hidden demon clan in the grass in front of him, so he flew forward cautiously.
Flying forward against a bush of low bushes, Qu Wuming suddenly felt his heart tighten, and a bad premonition instantly came to his heart, and he couldn't hide his whereabouts anymore, so he suddenly stopped, and then slammed on the ground and swept up, and then turned around and dodged to the side like an arrow.
Qu Wuming had just left the place when a large bag suddenly bulged from the ground next to the bushes, followed by the cracks of the earth and rocks, and the broken branches flew all over the sky......
Among the fragments of earth, rocks and shrubs that rose to the sky, a big mouth full of sharp fangs suddenly bit at Qu Wuming, but Qu Wuming, who had already noticed it, was dodged by Qu Wuming, and bit the soles of Qu Wuming's feet!
Qu Wuming's speed was extremely fast, when those earth, rocks, and sawdust fell like rain, Qu Wuming had already swept more than ten zhang away, and when he turned around to look, he saw that there was already a huge, pink fleshy strange insect in the bushes just now, and a body more than two zhang long poked out from the ground, covered with mucus, and there seemed to be countless hard long hairs on the wrinkled skin, which looked very weird.
The strange worm was supposed to be the location of the skull, but it did not have a head, but resembled a large intestine with many sharp and fine teeth. The huge mouth was the size of a grinding disc, and countless barbed-like teeth kept colliding with each other as the mouth squirmed, and from time to time there was a fishy smell of saliva dripping from it, glittering a little cold in the sun.
"What is this?!" Qu Wuming was disgusted by the ugly appearance of the strange insect, and the Yuansha Sword had already fallen into his hand, and he swung out a sword without hesitation......
