Chapter Seventy-Four: Attack 2
If it is said that the Netherworld Mountain Range during the day is still a paradise for many children of the outer sect, or even ordinary children, then once it is night, this situation will be reversed. For the many demon beasts in the Netherworld Mountains, night is their golden time.
The Nether Mountains are vast.
Even if Fang Tiannan had lived in Qingyun Town for three years, he had never thoroughly understood the Netherworld Mountain Range. Fang Tiannan only knew that when he was an ordinary disciple of the Qingyun Sect, the Netherworld Mountain Ranges that he came into contact with were only in the peripheral areas. According to those experienced disciples, in the core area of the Netherworld Mountain Range, there would even be fifth- and sixth-order demon beasts.
There used to be many sect disciples like Fang Tiannan, but after entering the Netherworld Mountain Range, they never came out again.
Fang Tiannan didn't know where he was at the moment, which area in the Netherworld Mountain Range it was. However, Fang Tiannan clearly knew that after night fell, some of the demon beasts, especially those who liked to act at night, would be extremely active in their activities. The range of activities will also be extraordinarily broad.
Therefore, in the past, no matter how unsociable Fang Tiannan was, once he needed to spend the night in the Netherworld Mountain Range, he would find a suitable place to rest in advance. The so-called suitable place is naturally a relatively safe area that has been carefully searched during the day, and there is no sign of demon beast activity. Otherwise, try to gather in a place where the human warriors are densely populated.
In any case, if there are more human warriors, the strength of the collective will be stronger, and there will be a response to each other. If there is really an attack by a demon beast, it is convenient for everyone to help each other. Moreover, many monsters are also very human. The avoidance of crises is far beyond human perception. It was like the night when the Inheritance Cave Heaven appeared, a large group of people gathered together and entered the Netherworld Mountain Range, and it was rare to encounter demon beasts.
However, for now, Fang Tiannan had only explored the area near the waterhole.
If Fang Tiannan had a choice, he would definitely not choose to come to the water's edge and rest. As long as you are a martial artist with a little experience, you will know. At night, near a water source, it is always the most dangerous.
And for Fang Tiannan to be alone, walking in the Netherworld Mountains shrouded in the night, and on the basis of not being able to distinguish the direction, for Fang Tiannan, it was a more dangerous thing than waiting near the water source......
"Hey, there's blood here. Fang Tiannan didn't dare to make a fire. First, Fang Tiannan was not sure how far away Elder Fang and the others who came out first were from him. Second, although the firelight will bring light to Fang Tiannan, it will also give a hint to the demon beasts: there are people here.
If before Elder Fang and the others found him, he instead lured a large group of demon beasts over, then Fang Tiannan was purely asking for trouble for himself.
Therefore, Fang Tiannan was just in the area near the waterhole, slowly looking for a place where he could rest for a night. By the waterhole, that's impossible. Regardless of whether there were demon beasts or not, at night, when he came to this place to drink, the terrain on the edge of the waterhole alone was not suitable for Fang Tiannan to wait for a long time.
On one side of the waterhole is a seemingly low mountain. Judging from the rest of the position, whether it is steep or not, Fang Tiannan is not clear. However, judging from the location of this side of the waterhole, there is quite a bit of a cliff, but there is no upright cliff, and it is as steep as that. It would be great if you could find a cave or something like that in this place.
Fang Tiannan searched for it, but found nothing satisfactory. Then he set his eyes on a forest slightly away from the waterhole.
You can't let Fang Tiannan stand directly on a flat place without the slightest cover, or on a crooked path, right?
However, just among the trees, sneaking for a distance, Fang Tiannan found fresh bloodstains.
Fang Tiannan had his fingers, carefully glued them, and carefully twisted them, judging that the time left by these blood stains would probably not exceed two quarters of an hour. No matter how specific it is, Fang Tiannan doesn't know. On the contrary, these blood stains, the different areas where they were sprinkled, the number of them, and the traces at the scene made Fang Tiannan speculate that they should have been left by human warriors after the battle.
For a moment, Fang Tiannan's eyes flickered slightly, thinking of his group, the interval between the previous exits from the secret place of the sect, he couldn't help frowning again. According to the calculation of time, if it is the person who Fang Tiannan walks out of the secret place in the next step, it is also very likely that he will be in distress here.
Could it be a companion of the Qingyun Sect?
Following the faintly visible bloodstains, Fang Tiannan quietly followed......
Among the trees, there are many tall trees with large canopies, which can become much darker even during the day, let alone at night. The bushes under the tall trees were full of thorns, and many tree species with hard and short thorns added a lot of trouble to Fang Tiannan's sneaking.
Fang Tiannan had to take out the Qingyun Sword and carefully open the way in front.
And along the way, Fang Tiannan also carefully discovered that there were still several fighting venues. Occasionally, the corpses of a few low-level demon beasts would appear, but they had not been processed. Fang Tiannan guessed that the two sides of the battle were either between human warriors and demon beasts, or between the hostile forces of human warriors. As far as the traces left on the battle scene are concerned, Fang Tiannan is more inclined to the latter.
Even the corpse of the demon beast didn't have time to deal with it, how fierce was the process of this battle?
Gradually, Fang Tiannan heard a few fights. The sound was not intense, and it seemed to be coming to an end. Fang Tiannan's speed inevitably sped up a few points. On the one hand, Fang Tiannan was expecting that the dominant side would be the team led by Elder Fang, on the other hand, Fang Tiannan needed to be on guard, if not, would he walk over rashly like this, would it cause more danger.
When Fang Tiannan's figure gradually approached the place of the fight, a flash of fire suddenly came from the front.
"It's over. Fang Tiannan said to himself.
With the light from the torches in front of him, Fang Tiannan hid in the dense bushes, which was safer. It's just that you need to pray, and at this time, there won't be a large number of demon beasts because of the appearance of the firelight.
And under the torches, the field where the battle has been fought has long been a mess. Fang Tiannan counted, and there were actually seven martial artists who appeared within the range of the firelight. Of those, three fell to the ground.
The dress of one of them gave Fang Tiannan a very familiar feeling. It was nothing more than looking over from the place where Fang Tiannan was hiding, and most of his body was blocked by another person, which made Fang Tiannan a little uncertain. It's just that this person was being blocked by Fang Tiannan's previous person, and he pressed his long sword against his chest, unable to move.
And judging from the behavior of these people, except for this person who was lying on the ground and gave Fang Tiannan a sense of familiarity, the remaining six people were obviously in a group.
At this time, there were two standing warriors, who went to pick up the two warriors lying on the ground and give treatment. There were also the other two martial artists standing, one was in charge of guarding, and the other was guarding the person who made Fang Tiannan feel familiar.
Fang Tiannan wanted to adjust his position so that he could see more accurately, but he was afraid that the movement would be too big and someone would find out.
Fortunately, the person who blocked Fang Tiannan's sight actually stepped forward at this time and came to the person he was caring. Then, the warrior who was in charge of guarding with a torch also came to the two of them, as if he wanted to see the face of his opponent.
"Yo, it's pretty good. The warrior holding the torch couldn't help but tease.
"Phew, you Taihang Gang people are so despicable and shameless. The warrior lying on the ground said angrily.
And after hearing this sentence, Fang Tiannan, who was hiding, couldn't help but tighten his heart, and said secretly: Oops, it turned out to be Han Guangyue.

Happy New Year's Day to all.
