179 Youth in the Trees

In the secret realm, the six-headed tusked rabbit tilted its head in confusion as it looked at He Yixiao and the others who rushed over, looking a little cute.

It's just a pity that this cuteness didn't last long, just a few breaths later, looking at He Yixiao and the others who rushed over, the six tusked rabbits opened their mouths in unison and roared, and then launched a reverse charge towards He Yixiao and the others.

I saw that the leading tusked rabbit opened its mouth and used its two long teeth to roar at He Yixiao, as if he was ready to directly pierce the other party with his front teeth.

And looking at the tusked rabbit rushing over, because he didn't know the strength of the other party, He Yixiao, who had never fought with the demon **, was slightly nervous for a while.

When the two sides were about to make contact, they saw He Yixiao raise his knife and pick it up, and the oncoming tusked rabbit was divided into two halves by He Yixiao's huge power on the spot.

Such an easy kill made He Yixiao have an unreal feeling for a moment, his face was full of disbelief at this moment, and while his body was moving forward by inertia, He Yixiao looked at the body of the tusked rabbit that was divided into two halves with his spare eyes.

Judging from He Yixiao's incredulous expression, it seemed that he didn't believe that the demon beast that stopped him was killed so easily.

But as a former special guard, he still reacted quickly when he was on the battlefield, and while the steel knife in his hand was quickly waved left and right, the two tusked rabbits fell down again.

Seeing this, several immortal martial artists who followed behind He Yixiao hurriedly sped up their speed, and after the three steel knives were waved down at the same time, the remaining three tusked rabbits also fell to the ground.

After everyone stopped, they turned their heads to look at the corpses of the six tusked rabbits lying on the ground behind them, and the group fell silent for a while.

After a while, He Yixiao, who was the first to react, patted the soldier beside him, then smiled and gestured to the other party with his eyes.

The warrior turned his head to look at the others beside him, and found that everyone was frowning slightly, their mouths were slightly open, and there was a trace of doubt and surprise on their faces.

Seeing this, He Yixiao coughed twice to wake everyone up from surprise, and said with a smile.

"Okay, come back to your senses, don't be surprised, these rabbits are estimated to be even if they have cultivation, at most they are the appearance of the first or second layer of qi refining, and it is very likely that these rabbits are just ordinary rabbits in this secret realm."

"That's why we can kill so easily, and that's how it should be.

He Yixiao said slowly, seeing that everyone still didn't react, he immediately said in a deep voice.

"Everyone immediately came back to their senses, our mission is not yet complete, everyone continues to be vigilant, and we continue to explore the fragrant fir wood."

With He Yixiao's reminder again, the soldiers finally came back to their senses, and after turning their heads to look at He Yixiao beside them, everyone started to act again and continued to explore ahead.

On the other side, one of the members of the Ding Gu team, who was slowly advancing at the moment, suddenly had his foot hooked by a rope, and he was hung upside down almost instantly, and he hurriedly spoke.

"Watch out, everyone, there's a trap here."

After the team member finished speaking, his eyes kept scanning the surroundings, looking for the enemy's location.

And Ding Gu and several people were reminded by this team member, and they also hurriedly looked around vigilantly with weapons in their hands, and at the same time presented a defensive formation back to back.

However, although one of the team members was caught by the trap, there was no sign of the trap in the vicinity.

After everyone glanced around, Ding Gu patted the shoulder of one of the team members next to him, and motioned with his eyes to look at the team member who was caught by the rope.

Receiving Ding Gu's motion, the team member nodded, and then slowly moved under the rope.

After walking over and observing the surroundings, the team member shook his head at Ding Gu and said through the headset.

"Brother Gu, there is only this trap here, it looks like it catches a beast, Xiao Wu just accidentally triggered it, and the person who set the trap should not be here."

Hearing this, Ding Gu nodded, and after thinking for a moment, Ding Gu ordered to everyone.

"The others continue to be on guard, little four, you look at the other end of the rope and use the dagger to put the small

Five down."

Xiao Si, the warrior who came forward to observe, nodded, and then quickly looked at the rope in the tree, looking for the other end of the rope.

Ten seconds later, Xiao Si said the direction of the rope and walked briskly towards the back of a big tree.

Seeing this, Ding Gu hurriedly reminded.

"Be careful, don't worry, there's a trap over there."

Hearing Ding Gu's reminder, Xiao Si, who was originally striding forward, was instantly cautious, and many disciples slowly moved towards the back of the big tree with weapons in hand, and their eyes still scanned the ground from time to time to see if there was a second trap.

Sure enough, without waiting for Xiao Si to take a few steps forward, he saw a rope blocked by leaves, but it may have been blown by the wind, and there was a cover in this rope that I don't know why it was opened, so Xiao Si saw it at a glance.

Without hesitation, Xiao Si hurriedly opened his mouth and reported to Ding Gu.

"Report to the captain, there's another trap here, presumably a supplementary trap to prevent that rope just now."

Ding Gu heard Xiao Si's answer, and quickly breathed a sigh of relief, and said when he opened his mouth.

"Okay, just cut it off with a knife, and then put Xiao Wu down, remember to be careful."

Xiao Si got Ding Gu's order, nodded and pulled out a dagger from his thigh and walked towards the rope he found.

However, before Xiao Si walked to the side of the rope and cut it, he heard a whooshing sound, and Xiao Si was instantly hung up.

This time, the two team members were suspended, and Ding Gu instantly stared at him, and immediately made a decision.

"Little four, little five, the enemy should be nearby, you two quickly cut the rope with daggers yourself, be vigilant."

Ding Gu, who was originally worried that Xiao Wu would cut the rope by himself and be injured by falling, saw Xiao Si fall into the trap again, and when he understood that the person who set the trap should be around here.

After all, it seems that these traps are obviously not for catching wild beasts, but for guarding against people.

Otherwise there could not have been such a trap that was clearly set for the person who put the rope.

And just to catch the beast, there is no trap at all, after all, the beast does not untie the rope for its companions.

Worried about the safety of the two of them, Ding Gu couldn't care much at the moment, so he could only hurriedly let the two of them escape.

In the face of Ding Gu's order, the little four and the little five did not hesitate at all, when they even bowed down the daggers in their hands and cut them towards the rope that lifted them.

With two bangs, Little Four and Little Five fell to the ground at the same time.

Fortunately, Xiao Si landed on his back, and at the moment he didn't feel anything other than some pain on his body, and he didn't receive any physical injury.

Unfortunately, Xiao Wu's left arm landed on the ground first, and the moment he landed on the ground, a crisp fracture sound came from Xiao Wu's left arm.

When Xiao Si heard the movement, he immediately turned his head to look at Xiao Wu behind him, and hurriedly asked.

"Little Wu, are you okay?"

Hearing Xiao Si's inquiry, Xiao Wuqiang, who had a fractured left arm, endured the severe pain in his left arm and gritted his teeth in response.

"Don't worry, it's just a twist, it's not a big deal."

Faced with an unknown enemy, Xiao Wu, who didn't want to burden Ding Gu and the others, concealed his injuries and endured it without saying it.

Xiao Si heard Xiao Wu's answer, and after frowning slightly, he didn't ask anything more, but said in a low voice.

"It's okay."

On the other side, Ding Gu looked at the two people who had landed, and he didn't have time to worry about anything, so he hurriedly opened his mouth and ordered.

"Little four, little five, you two come back quickly, beware of enemies."

After receiving Ding Gu's order, Xiao Si, who was far away, immediately turned around and walked briskly towards Xiao Wu's position.

After Xiao Si walked to Xiao Wu's side, Xiao Si patted the other party's shoulder and whispered.

"Retreat."

Hearing this, Xiao Wu glanced up at Xiao Si, nodded and slowly moved backwards with the pain on his left arm.

After a few steps, Xiao Wu returned

Ding Gu was beside him, and Xiao Si hurriedly retreated when he saw this.

It's a pity that until the little four and five returned to the team, there was no movement around, as if the person who set the trap was indeed not around.

Feeling everything in the silence around him, Ding Gu thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice.

"Everyone, in battle formation, the rear team becomes the front team, and we retreat back."

As Ding Gu's order was given, the ten people hurriedly began to retreat slowly, while their eyes were still firmly fixed on their surroundings, guarding against the sudden attack of the enemy.

Gradually, as time passed, Ding Gu and the others slowly disappeared into the area.

After the figures of Ding Gu and the others disappeared completely, two young men suddenly jumped down from the originally silent book, and after glancing at the direction where Ding Gu and the others left, the man on the left said to his companion.

"Muyu, you go and inform everyone, there are outsiders coming to us, there are a lot of people, we can't handle it, let them come and help."

The young man who was called Muyu heard his companion's words, looked at the direction in which Ding Gu and the others had left, and asked out loud.

"Brother Muzhi, what about you, won't you go back with me?"

Mu Zhi looked at the wooden fish beside him who asked him, shook his head, and replied.

"You go back first, I'm staring at them here, I suspect that these outsiders will come later, you go back and call people first, I'll wait for them here."

After knowing Mu Zhi's arrangement, Mu Yu nodded, and didn't ask anymore, when he spoke.

"Brother Mu Zhi, be careful, I'll go back to find the clan elders."

As he spoke, the young wooden fish turned around and walked away briskly in one direction.

Seeing this, Mu Zhi smiled slightly, looked at the direction where Ding Gu and the others left, and returned to the uncle behind him again.

It's a pity that Mu Zhi didn't know that a member of the Ding Gu team who had left at the moment was lying on the ground at the moment, observing this place with the weapon in his hand.

And whether it was the communication between the two just now, or the re-meeting of Mu Zhi on the tree at this moment, it was already in full view of this warrior.

After observing again for a few minutes and finding nothing else, the warrior quickly turned his head and reported to Ding Gu.

"Brother Gu, as you expected, there was indeed someone there in our trap just now."

"Just now two young men jumped down from a big tree nearby, and then I saw what the two of them said, one of the young men turned and left, I don't know what he was going to do, and another young man returned to the tree again, according to observation, this young man was still counting and did not leave."

Hearing the words of the warrior lying on the ground, Ding Gu showed a smile on his face, and after thinking for a while, Ding Gu had a look on his face and hurriedly spoke.

"It's not good, the young man who left just now is probably going back to find someone, and the one who stayed behind is ready to stare at us."

Ding Gu said quickly, his eyes began to flicker non-stop, obviously thinking about something.

When the team members saw Ding Gu's appearance, no one spoke, and they all waited quietly for Ding Gu's order, they knew that Ding Gu at this moment must be thinking about the next action, so they couldn't be disturbed.

A minute later, Ding Gu let out a long breath, looked at the members of the team, and asked in a deep voice.

"Now we have two ways, the first is that we go back the same way, go back and tell Captain Xiong about the existence of humans here, but we don't know if those two people are immortal cultivators now, and we are not sure of the identity of the other party, so we may only be able to provide this one piece of information."

"Second, we will go over and capture the young man now, and then retreat with the young man, when the time comes, we should be able to know some information about the humans in this secret realm from the other party's mouth, but I'm not sure when the other party's reinforcements will arrive here, so there is a certain risk in the action."

"So do you think we're going to retreat, or are we going to try?"

After thinking for a while, Ding Gu gave the team two paths, although the final result was retreat, but it was fundamentally different.

In fact, in Ding Gu's heart, he is even more inclined

to the second choice, because Ding Gu knew very well in his heart that even if they retreated this time, the situation in this direction always needed to be explored.

And next time, the other party will not be as simple as two people.

But if they could catch the young man, they would be able to get some information from the other man, so they wouldn't have to risk it.

But in the current situation, if you act, it is risky after all, there is only one life, and Ding Gu can't make a choice for the other members of the team, so he wants the team members to choose for themselves.

No matter what the result is, Ding Gu will not regret it.

In the face of Ding Gu's inquiry, after the team members glanced at each other, they all made a choice.

"Brother Gu, let's do it, the brothers don't want to go back like this, it's too embarrassing."

"That's right, Brother Gu, we can't just return in vain, that's too shameless."

The others, some nodded, and some smiled at Ding Gu to show their choice.

Seeing this, Ding Gu smiled and said in a deep voice.

"Very well, then it's on."

"There's only one person on the other side, so let's fight quickly."

"Xiao Wu is injured, Xiao Si, you take care of him here, and we will retreat together when we come back."

Because he was afraid that he would run into demon beasts, Ding Gu did not rashly let the two of them go first, but let them wait for him.

When Xiao Si and Xiao Wu heard Ding Gu's arrangement, although they were a little reluctant, they also knew the situation of the two of them, so they had to nod and signal that they understood.
