Chapter 20: The Eye in the Mist
In the Demon Beast Forest, a group of four people walked forward without hurrying.
One of them was a burly and strong man, especially a pair of arms that were unusually thick, and at first glance he was a man of great strength.
The other person's eyes were cold, and there was an invisible aura on his body, which made people dare not approach.
The third person has a delicate face and still exudes a childish spirit. It's just that when he walks, his legs always have an indescribable rhythm, which is very peculiar.
The last one was dressed in a wide green robe, and his eyes were as bright as jewels.
It was the four Zhang Qiang who teamed up to find Zi Linglong.
The wind in the forest whined, like some monster howling in the distance, and like the ethereal cry of ghosts.
Suddenly, the sky seemed to be darker, Zhang Qiang frowned, followed the gap between the trees, and looked up at the sky.
I don't know when the sky was full of dark clouds, and it was black.
A hint of mist gradually appeared in the forest, mixed with a faint red, and when you inhaled it, you could feel a faint fishy smell.
Zhang Qiang stopped, frowned and looked at the dense forest in front of him for a while, his ears moved, and his face showed a trace of doubt.
"Senior Brother Zhang Qiang, what's wrong with you? But what did you find?" Li Zhiling followed closely behind Zhang Qiang, and when he noticed his abnormality, he frowned and asked.
Without answering Li Zhiling's question, Zhang Qiang leaned down and put his ear to the ground, as if listening to something.
Zhao Hai and Fan Donghua also stopped, watching Zhang Qiang use the methods of ordinary hunters, and frowned.
"This is the Demon Beast Forest, not a place for you to hunt!" Zhao Hai said impatiently, revealing a hint of displeasure.
"This Zhang Qiang Daoyou, you haven't made any effort along the way, now don't you want to show something and tell us how to track down the hare? Hmph, your method of killing chickens and sheep is not weak, maybe you can become a qualified butcher!" Fan Donghua did not hide his sarcasm, and his face showed a touch of anger.
Li Zhiling, as the organizer of the team, persuaded everyone along the way, but as Fan Donghua said, Zhang Qiang has never made a move along the way.
At this time, he stopped for no reason, he was also very dissatisfied in his heart, and asked at the moment: "Senior Brother Zhang Qiang, can you tell us what you are doing?"
After a while, Zhang Qiang stood up, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, let's move on!"
As he spoke, he glanced at the pink mist that appeared around him, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Zhang Qiang, if you affect the progress of the team like this, don't blame Zhao for being polite!" Zhao Hai said with an unkind face.
"If you want me to say, the three of us are enough, and taking him with you is nothing more than a burden!" Fan Donghua also didn't give Zhang Qiang a good look.
Li Zhiling spoke for Zhang Qiang many times along the way, but when he encountered the demon beast before, Zhang Qiang did not take the initiative to attack, which made him gradually dissatisfied in his heart.
In fact, it's not that Zhang Qiang doesn't make a move, but the three of them seem to want to show their strength, and every time a demon beast appears, they almost rush to make a move. Zhang Qiang didn't even know how to slaughter the wolves, and he was not interested in showing anything in front of them.
The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the leaves in the air are falling in a row, revealing a bit of gloom.
If the whining wind before was like a monster howling, now the wind is like a ghost screaming, and it is a huge number of ghosts.
Zhang Qiang suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed it towards the void, and after opening his palm, a ball of blood-red hair appeared in the palm of his hand.
Sniffing the hair in front of his nose, Zhang Qiang's expression moved, revealing a thoughtful look.
"Whew!" a half-human-tall figure suddenly appeared from the dense forest and rushed straight towards Fan Donghua, the youngest member of the team.
"Look for death!" Fan Donghua's face sank, and he opened his mouth to spray the talisman in his hand.
I saw a flash of inspiration, and the rune sword turned into a three-foot gray light and shot out, but in an instant, it slashed at that figure.
With a wail, the figure slammed to the ground, splashing a dead leaf on the ground.
I saw that the figure was covered with dark red hair, and there was a red line on its neck, and blood gushed from it.
It turned out to be a lone blood-haired demon wolf.
"A mere first-class demon wolf, dare to shoot at me! I really don't know whether to live or die!" Fan Donghua glanced at Zhang Qiang intentionally or unintentionally, with a smug on his face, he waved the dagger in his hand, broke the head of the demon wolf, and took out a demon pill the size of a pearl.
Zhang Qiang's expression remained unchanged, he didn't plan to act with these three people all the time, and he didn't care what they thought of him.
Originally, he was going to find a chance to slip away directly, but just now he discovered a very strange scene and had to change his plan.
Whether it was the smell of blood in the wind or the red mist that gradually appeared around them, it was a sign that there might be a group of demon wolves around.
Since it is a demon beast forest, it is not surprising that a group of demon wolves has appeared.
But the strange thing is, why are these demon wolves heading towards the edge of the forest?
"Isn't it that something more terrifying than the demon wolves has appeared in the demon beast forest?" Thinking of this, Zhang Qiang's heart sank.
The location where Zi Linglong appeared was in a relatively deep place in the Demon Beast Forest, if something appeared there that the demon wolves did not dare to provoke, and a few of their Qi cultivation disciples encountered it, what would be the result?
Just as he was thinking about it, Li Zhiling, who was close to him, spoke: "Have you noticed it, we have already encountered several demon wolves in a row! The blood-haired demon wolf is a social thing, even if there is a lonely, it will not be so coincidentally encountered by us!"
"What do you mean by this, could it be that there will be a pack of blood-haired demon wolves ahead of us?" Zhao Hai frowned, a look of disbelief.
Li Zhiling didn't answer, looked at Zhang Qiang deeply, and asked, "Senior Brother Zhang Qiang, can you tell us now, what did you discover along the way?"
Zhang Qiang raised his eyebrows, thinking that since the other party had already found out, it would be okay to talk about it. At the moment, he said lightly: "According to my guess, there should be a group of demon wolves in front!"
"Demon wolves, what should I do then? Do you want to change the route?" As he spoke, Fan Donghua glared at Zhang Qiang fiercely, and said, "This kid may not be able to calculate what he said, why should we listen to him?"
Zhao Haidao: "It's too slow to change the route, you must know that the assessment of the Dao is not only a matter of getting Zi Linglong, but also the time to complete the task is also very important!"
Li Zhiling's face hesitated, his eyes met with everyone one by one, and said: "At this time, should everyone show their hole cards? Otherwise, none of us will be able to complete the task!"
Seeing that several people were a little moved, Li Zhiling struck while the iron was hot, and said: "The junior brother's cultivation is the lowest, but his body is a little special, even if he encounters a wolf pack, there is no problem in facing eight first-level demon wolves at the same time!"
"Okay, Zhao has a brute strength, even if he faces nine first-level demon wolves, he won't fall behind for a while!" Zhao Hai also said.
Fan Donghua said coldly: "Even if Fan is against ten demon wolves, he can break them one by one!"
After finishing speaking, the three of them looked at Zhang Qiang one after another.
It can be said that the strength of the three of them is rare among the five layers of Qi training, Zhang Qiang touched his nose and said casually: "If it is against eight first-level demon wolves, Zhang has no problem either!"
Li Zhiling said: "The average demon wolf pack is only more than thirty, if each of us is responsible for a part, even if we can't kill the demon wolf, it's no problem to escape." In that case, the junior brother suggested that we move on, what do you think of the senior brothers?"
Seeing that Zhao Hai and Fan Donghua both nodded in support, Zhang Qiang also did not object.
After everyone passed through a thorny field, the surrounding fog became thicker, and at some point, a pair of green eyes appeared around the four of them.
After a preliminary estimate, there were at least more than fifty first-level demon wolves in the wolf pack, Zhang Qiang's eyes flashed, and after a long time, he didn't find any trace of the head wolf, and he couldn't help but sink in his heart.
The head wolf is the leader of the wolf pack, and he is the wisest demon wolf. As long as there is a wolf, the other wolves will completely obey the command of the wolf.
It's like an army fighting, and all the soldiers obey the general's orders. But if the general had been hiding in the shadows and commanding, the enemy would have gone mad.
Zhao Hai and the others looked very ugly, and obviously found that the number of wolves far exceeded their imagination.
"How could there be so many? Why did such a large pack of wolves appear in the outer area of the Demon Beast Forest?" Zhao Hai's face sank so much that he could wring out the water, and said, "It seems that we can only break through separately, depending on our luck!"
Before he finished speaking, he jumped into the air, and with his strong physique, as long as he continued to borrow strength on the branches, he could escape safely when he reached the top of the tree.
But a surprising and unexpected scene occurred.
I saw that more than ten demon wolves suddenly pounced in the air, and they actually pressed down from above Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai couldn't get on Xiang Lu, his body turned, and he fell back to the ground helplessly, and said with a look of disbelief: "How is this possible?
Li Zhiling and the others looked at Zhao Hai dissatisfiedly and did not answer him.
When he encountered danger, he ran away directly, if it wasn't for the wolves to stop him, he was afraid that Zhao Hai would have fled.
For a team, his selfish behavior is likely to put the whole team in a situation from which it will never recover.
Fan Donghua's face was like frost, and he squinted and said: "Zhao Hai Daoyou thinks that he has the ability to jump on the trunk, but he doesn't care whether we live or die. If we were to face a strong enemy, I can't imagine that you would betray us!"
"Hmph, Fan Donghua, don't talk about cool things! If your physique is as strong as Zhao's, I'm afraid you'll have slipped away a long time ago, right?" Zhao Hai sneered and muttered.
Li Zhiling's eyes turned slightly, and then said, "Daoyou Zhao Hai, only you have the strongest strength. In this way, you send us to the trunk, and then the three of us will help you clear the way with the talisman, and you can come up too, how about it?"
Zhao Hai's face was a little ugly, and he snorted coldly: "If you all go up to the trunk and leave by yourself, won't Zhao be buried in the wolf's belly alone?
While the crowd was arguing, the demon wolves moved.
I saw a pair of pairs of green eyes gradually approaching, and the hair on the demon wolves was bloody.
Zhang Qiang has been looking for the location of the head wolf, but the demon wolves in front of him are all the same, except for a few underage demon wolves, where is the shadow of the head wolf?
"Could it be that the head wolf was killed by a powerful character in the Demon Beast Forest?" Thinking of this, Zhang Qiang himself shook his head and denied. If there is no head wolf, the wolf pack will choose a new head wolf, otherwise how can they keep the group moving?
Seeing that the wolves were surrounding, Li Zhiling and the others looked anxious.
Li Zhiling said: "Zhao Hai, if you are not at ease, we can make an oath of inner demons, so it should be okay, right?"
"What kind of bullshit oath, Zhao never believed in this!" Zhao Hai was very impatient, seeing that the activity space was getting smaller and smaller, he gritted his teeth and shouted: "I can only send one person up, and then the person who goes up is responsible for opening the way with a talisman, and Zhao wants to go up second! Which of you goes up first?"
