The two of them took a step forward and set off towards the mission location.

On the road, the wind blows gently and the leaves rustle. Lu Xiao looked ahead and suddenly chuckled: "Are you a little disappointed with the current situation of the Yunxiao Sect that I just talked about?" ”

Xu Yu pondered for a moment and replied, "It's false to say that I'm not disappointed, after all, the Yunxiao Sect is the first sect I joined. ”

After listening to the promise, Lu Xiao smiled:

"You are really sincere, you can't say this in front of those elders, this is the sore spot of our Yunxiao Sect."

After that, he looked up at the branches and said slowly: "We lost a lot of backbones that time, and many elders fell in that battle with all the sects, including many geniuses, people like me couldn't become the head of the inner sect at all fifty years ago, if you really want to talk about it, I'm just at the level of the middle and lower reaches." ”

Xu didn't speak, just listened quietly.

Although Lu Xiao's tone was very calm when he spoke, from this slightly bland words, he could still feel the fierceness of the battle at that time.

As they walked through the mountains and forests, they gradually came across a village.

The village is not big, and the residents saw Xu Yu and Lu Xiao coming from afar, and when they saw their clothes clearly, they were stunned at first, and then showed a surprised expression and greeted them warmly.

One of them, a man who looked very strong, stepped forward and hugged his fists at the two of them.

"Huang Zhiyang, the head of Xiaoguang Village, has seen two immortal masters!"

"Well, judging from the mission request you commissioned before, you have a demon here?" Lu Xiaoyun said lightly.

Xu Yu glanced around, this is a very peaceful little village, it is now noon, you can see in the distance someone carrying a hoe, just returned from farming, just glanced at here, then trotted directly into the house, quickly closed the door.

Huang Zhiyang listened to Lu Xiao's words, his face changed slightly, and he said with a little embarrassment: "Yes, Immortal Master." During this time, there were indeed some demonic activities near our village, and many villagers were disturbed by demons. ”

"Have you seen any traces of demons?" Lu Xiao asked lightly.

"Well, the howls of demons can be heard from the woods to the east of our village, and some villagers have come back to say that they have seen some strange creatures in the fields." Huang Zhiyang's face showed a hint of worry.

"Alright, we'll go to the woods to the east and take a look." Lu Xiao nodded and signaled to promise to move forward together.

The two walked in the direction pointed by Huang Zhiyang and entered the depths of the woods. The light between the trees shines through the leaves on the ground, creating dappled light and shadow. The woods seemed even quieter, with only the rustle of leaves in the breeze.

Xu Promise looked around vigilantly, nervous in his heart.

"Senior brother, what does the demon look like?"

"Don't be too nervous, the demons in the eyes of ordinary people are actually not the same as the demons in our mouths," Lu Xiao saw that Xu Yu was a little nervous, and opened his mouth to comfort, "The demons in our mouths are the kind of demons that form themselves after devouring the treasures of heaven and earth, most of them have no spiritual intelligence, or their spiritual intelligence is extremely low, and they are easy to break out and hurt people, that is what we usually call demonic evil." ”

"However, what the village chief mentioned just now, it should only be an older beast, this task was sent to the sect a few days ago, even if it is really a demon, it is just the kind of monster that has just become a little climate, you don't have to be too nervous."

After listening to Lu Xiao's words, he promised to exhale a little turbidity.

"Senior brother, let's go to that place first." Lu Xiao looked at a forest according to experience, pointed out the promise, and the two set off towards the destination together.

In the vicinity of the village, in a dense forest, the aura of evil gradually appeared. The two cautiously traversed, vigilantly observing their surroundings.

Lu Xiao suddenly stopped and signaled to promise to approach. He gestured to a bush in front of him, where there was a faint sound of movement.

"It seems that the demon is there." Lu Xiao said in a low voice, his eyes locked on the front.

The two of them walked slowly through the woods, alertly sensing the movement around them. Lu Xiao was silent, and there was a hint of deep thought between her eyebrows. Promise released his qi and probed for possible demons around him, when suddenly, there was a small sound between the trees, as if something was quietly moving. The two of them instantly became alert and stopped.

"There's movement." Lu Xiao's eyes became solemn, and the magic weapon in his hand shone slightly.

The promise also became serious, clenching the sword in his hand. He followed Lu Xiao closely and tacitly approached the direction where the voice came from. In the darkness of the dense forest, the shadows under the feet of the two suddenly fluctuated, sometimes large and sometimes small, and looked very unstable.

"Be careful, it could be a demon like illusion." Lu Xiao warned, he knew in his heart that there might be a demon who was good at illusion hidden in this sea of trees.

The two of them cautiously weaved through the trees, trying to shake off the strange fluctuations. The shadows of the trees sometimes become distorted, as if an invisible force is influencing their form.

"Senior brother, how can I get rid of this illusion?" Promise asked.

Lu Xiao stabilized his mind and explained to the promise: "Observe your own heart, adapt to the changes in the illusion, and keep your inner peace, so that you can gradually see the real world." ”

Promise nodded, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath, trying to stabilize his mind. He felt the illusion's influence on him wane, and the scene around him gradually became clearer.

Suddenly, a hideous demon emerged from the illusion and pounced on the two of them. This demon exuded a majestic evil aura all over its body, enveloping its body.

Lu Xiao calmly attacked, and the magic weapon in his hand emitted a piercing whistle, intertwined with the demon's attack. Promise also concentrates on swordsmanship, trying to lure this demon away.

The light and shadow between the trees distort and change in the confrontation between the two. Lu Xiao's magic weapon emitted a dazzling light, forming gorgeous arcs of light, repelling the demon's attacks one by one. Promise, on the other hand, dodges nimbly, unleashing sharp sword moves from time to time.

Gradually, Promise felt more and more comfortable dealing with these demons.

The battle was not too intense, but Lu Xiao deliberately reduced the number of shots, but he always let the demon attack him.

Suddenly, a group of demons rushed out from among the trees, and they could vaguely see terrifying human faces, some hideous, some strange. They hissed and pounced on Lu Xiao and Promise.

"Don't panic, these are just the same kind as this one, this kind of demonic ability is low, even if the number of piles can't cause any qualitative changes."

Lu Xiao calmly reminded Xu that the two tacitly separated to deal with the demon group in front of them.
