As the distance between the two carp-eating beasts became farther and farther away, Xue Jiaojiao made a decisive move, jumped out from behind the carp-eating beast, raised the wooden sword high, and slashed at the neck of the carp-eating beast.

The speed of the attack wrapped in aura was very fast, and in just a second, the carp eater's head fell to the ground.

Xue Jiaojiao picked up the carp-eating beast's head and turned around and ran.

Sensing that something was wrong, the other carp eater pounced up from the lake and let out a roar.

The ground behind her was trampled on loudly, and Xue Jiaojiao knew that the carp-eating beast was chasing her, so she ran towards the entrance of the misty forest with all her might, adjusting her breathing with her aura.

As Yu Qing said, the dense woods provided her with a good help, and the carp-eating beast behind her collided with the trunk of the tree, and slammed down the leaves all over the ground, startling the birds on the tree.

Xue Jiaojiao didn't dare to look back, for fear of running into the angry big guy, the carp eater likes women, and when facing women, the attack power will be stronger.

She had just managed to succeed with a sneak attack, and now she couldn't be planted in the hands of that carp-eating beast.

There were constant crashing sounds and roars from behind, and Xue Jiaojiao swallowed in her throat, only to feel that there was fire burning in her breath.

She ran all the way towards the exit, but the lake was far from the exit, and there was still some distance to go.

Just when Xue Jiaojiao's legs were weak, a thin figure came out from behind, kicked up with his legs through the trunk, and stepped on the back of the carp-eating beast with force, and the wooden sword in his hand fell.

The noise behind her disappeared, and Xue Jiaojiao turned around and saw a female cultivator wearing the same costume as her carrying the head of a carp-eating beast.

This person she knew, his name was Su Ho, and he was the first person among the new disciples to break through to the first level of qi refining.

"Thank you for bringing it over and saving me a lot of effort." Su Ho carried the head of the carp eater and walked to the opposite side of Xue Jiaojiao, "My name is Su Ho." ”

"Xue Jiaojiao." Xue Jiaojiao held her head and panted sharply, holding on to the ground without falling to the ground.

The two of them walked towards the exit of the misty forest together, and they felt a lot more relaxed out of the heavy fog.

When I walked to the martial arts training ground, I found that only the two of them came, and Yu Qing was standing there.

"Looks like we were the first to come." Su He said a word, walked straight over and put the head of the carp eater in front of Yu Qing.

Xue Jiaojiao did the same, and Yu Qing nodded with satisfaction.

"Very well, let's go back and rest."

Xue Jiaojiao was stained with the salty blood of the carp-eating beast, and hurriedly ran to her room, Zheng Yuanxue pushed the door in and was surprised when she saw Xue Jiaojiao covered in blood.

"Are you hurt by something from the Misty Forest?" Zheng Yuanxue hurriedly went over, "I'll help you call Elder Lin." ”

"Not my blood." Xue Jiaojiao hurriedly grabbed her and explained.

Zheng Yuanxue was relieved when she heard this, and she left only after making sure that Xue Jiaojiao was really fine.

Xue Jiaojiao washed the blood stains on her body, changed her clothes again, and when she went out to look, she found that except for her and Soho, no one else had come out today.

On the third day, Luo Yiming walked from the misty forest to the martial arts training ground in embarrassment.

He looked up and saw Xue Jiaojiao, pursed his lips, and turned his head.

The number of people who came out of the Misty Forest gradually increased, and it was not until the last day.

Yu Qing frowned and stood on the martial arts training ground, no one dared to speak, and finally waited for the last person to come out.

"Whoever completes the task will go back first."

Of the dozens of people who went in this time, most of them were completed, and a small number of them gave up for various reasons or delayed until the last day, and all of them were taken away by Yu Qing.

"Well done." Xie Congnan didn't know where it came out of nowhere, and rubbed the top of Xue Jiaojiao's hair.

"Thank you, senior sister, for the compliment."

"Shen Qinghe told me about your performance, you are very calm, are you interested in accompanying me on a mission?"

It is not uncommon for the chief disciple to take the task, and Xue Jiaojiao was a little surprised that Xie Congnan wanted to take her.

"Senior Sister Xie, I shouldn't be able to help this cultivator, right?"

"It's good to have a lot of knowledge, besides, how can you be sure that you can't help?" Xie Congnan patted her on the shoulder, "Answer me after thinking about it." ”

Xue Jiaojiao blinked, "Don't think about it, I'll go." ”

Xie Congnan has always treated her well and taken care of her everywhere, and even if it is a task, it is not a big problem to have Xie Congnan here.

Xie Congnan smiled and shouted to the back: "Qi Xiao, Senior Sister Xue said that she was going." ”

Qi Xiao turned his head sideways and hummed coldly.

"I'm okay with that, just don't hold back."

Xue Jiaojiao was really curious about what kind of task this was, so she asked Xie Congnan directly.

I learned from Xie Congnan that in a village under the jurisdiction of Yun Mengze, there lived a person who claimed to be a mountain god on the mountain.

coaxed the local villagers to worship him for the sake of the wind and rain.

After a year or two, the village suddenly encountered a drought, and the villagers immediately thought of asking the mountain god.

But this time the mountain god did not respond to them anyway, and it was not until the rice was about to be harvested that the mountain god appeared and demanded that they be sacrificed with a living person, and that he would mark the person who needed to be sacrificed.

The first time she was chosen was a young girl, who suddenly appeared with a peach blossom mark on the back of her neck, and appeared in their house in a fiery red wedding dress.

A few days after this, a palanquin stopped at the door of their house, and carrying it were four thin mice, with human bodies, with a rat's head on their heads, and their ribs could be seen with their upper bodies bare.

In order to solve the drought this time, the villagers ignored the objections of the girl's parents and sent people to the sedan chair.

The day after the sedan chair was delivered, it rained.

As a result, the incense of the mountain god was even greater, but no one cared about the parents who lost their daughter.

Later, every year, there would be a girl with a peach blossom mark in the village, and the villagers would send people to the sedan chair again and again according to the meaning of the mountain god.

Until three months ago, the mountain god's behavior of begging them for a girl suddenly became more frequent, from one person a year, to one person a month, and now one person a day.

This move made the people in the village dare not act rashly, and they were afraid that the mountain god would be angry, and on the other hand, they were afraid that there would be ghosts in this matter.

One of them passed on this matter to Yun Mengze.

"Three months ago, your senior brother Zhou Hanzhang went out to practice, confronted a demon beast, seriously injured him, and looked at the direction he fled, near that village, and then this incident happened, so we suspect that the mountain god is very likely to be the demon beast that your senior brother encountered."

After listening to Xie Congnan's explanation, Xue Jiaojiao roughly understood this matter.

If you want to take the whole village girl at once, no wonder some people think there are ghosts.

"The news from Zhou Hanzhang is that there are still twenty-three young girls in Caiyun Village who have been marked with the seal of the mountain god, but he can't find any trace of the mountain god when he goes up the mountain, so he asked us to go over and have a look."
