Chapter 177: Wake Up
The demon subjugation meeting has been going on for half a month, and there is at least a month left before it ends.
In the past half a month, most of the low-level disciples who were forced to participate in the Demon Subjugation Society have been gathering on the first island, never leaving the beach.
At first, some of them were brave enough to venture into the depths of the island, but some of them never came out again, and gradually no one dared to leave the beach.
"We've been here for twenty days, when will we be able to go back?"
"The round-trip journey doesn't count, even if it takes half a month now, it will take at least a month to get out. ”
"It's been so long, there's nothing here, and there are so many monsters in the woods, I've had enough. ”
"That's right, there are few decent male disciples on the beach, they are poor and low-cultivation, and this kind of goods dare to come to us to talk. ”
"Who will be here, who has a future, I have already gone in to kill demon beasts and collect elixirs, and all the people here are waste. ”
Zhou Lumei's senior sisters kept complaining behind a boulder on the beach, as if they didn't realize that they were also the waste they said they were.
Some powerful people have already penetrated deep into the archipelago, and on the few islands near the entrance, because they are often frequented by monks, the number of precious medicinal materials is already very small, and the demon beasts here can't provide very good materials. Those who want to get something through the Demon Slaying Club are already on the island far from the entrance, and they have completely cut off contact with this place.
It is dangerous to go deep into the archipelago, but the low-level disciples who do not have strong reinforcements on the beach are also vulnerable, as long as there are powerful demon beasts that break into this island, they will be more than lucky. The demon mist has little effect on the demon beasts below the Jindan stage, and they can travel freely between the archipelagos.
In the evening, a few of the complaining women finally quieted down, and a few of them slept on improvised beds made on the ground.
There are also some of the more cautious monks on the beach, who take precautions when they sleep, rather than lying down and sleeping with a big grin. Some people will take turns keeping vigil, while others will have domesticated monsters help keep watch. After all, it is possible for the demon beasts in the woods to come out and attack people.
Zhu Jing is a more cautious female monk, these days, she sleeps next to the bushes under a tree, and keeps vigil with a goat-like demon beast that she has domesticated. Although the strength of this demon beast is not strong, even mortal martial arts masters can deal with it, but it is very sensitive to the breath of other demon beasts, as long as there is a demon beast within a range of dozens of zhang nearby, it can immediately detect and warn its owner.
Usually once you fall asleep, she sleeps deeply, but Zhu Jing woke up in the middle of the night. I don't really understand why I woke up.
Drowsiness still enveloped her whole body, and Zhu Jing was half in a haze. The eye is unintentionally looking for the goat, but its white body is not visible. Thinking that it might go around the back of a tree or sleep on the other side of a bush, he unconsciously reached out to call the goat.
Something was wrong, and as she thought so, she noticed that her hands had touched something wet, and there was some liquid on the bushes around her, which was making them wet and sticky.
was about to scream, but Zhu Jing tried her best to endure it. Patiently, he withdrew his trembling hands, held his breath and pricked up his ears to listen.
"You can't move...... Wait and be silent......"
I told myself this, but only my eyes shrank uncontrollably into the darkness, and my breathing became uncontrollably short. Take as deep and quiet breaths as you can, and you're already doing your best. The ears only hear the sound of the heartbeat, and cannot hear the other sounds around them, at least not the shouts that can drown the heartbeat.
"Around? or ......"
I tried to find my breath, but I couldn't hear anything but my own breath and my heartbeat. Only the outline of the trunk of the tree could be faintly seen, the bushes and grass as far as the eye could reach, and it looked like there was no one.
"Already gone?"
Just as he was thinking like this, something dripped on Zhu Jing's face, who turned his head sideways.
The feeling like a drop of water fell on his face one drop or two drops, and the water droplets flowed down Zhu Jing's face. Another drop of water fell, and the droplets that fell on the temples ran down the corners of the eyes.
Drop?
Is this really a drop of water? Why is it so sticky?
This is... This is!
"Upper!"
in the trees.
Something dripped, sticky, like what had just been touched.
What is reflected in the eye is the tree root in front of you, and the branches are not visible in the field of vision. If you look up, you can only see the shadow-like branches overhead.
Something was dripping down again, with a fishy, rusty smell.
Unable to continue to endure it, Zhu Jing trembled and raised his head. Tense the muscles of the whole body to prevent the body from moving, hold your breath and only turn your head.
Saw something white.
The white thing hanging from the branches above its head, and the huge dark red shadow beside it.
The shadow was crouching on a branch close to the overhead.
The screams rushed up from the lower part of the abdomen like a spasm, rushed through the chest and through the throat, but did not become a sound. It wasn't that Zhu Jing successfully swallowed the scream, it was that she couldn't make a sound.
The whole body seemed to be paralyzed, and soon the chest spasmed.
The white thing in front of me stretched and cracked, and then liquid dripped down.
His goat monster beast was torn apart by something, and the other party was tasting it with relish.
"I'll be found out myself...... Definitely!"
If it stays still, it will be discovered sooner or later, and perhaps it will be better to escape now while it is dealing with the goats.
Although the goat demon beast is very weak, if it can deal with its demon beast silently, it will definitely not be an opponent.
"What should I do? With such a close distance, I don't even have time to put a shield, can I successfully escape?"
As long as the other party moves his gaze down a little bit, and casually glances down, he will find Zhu Jing.
"Do you want to shout for help, but I'm afraid that none of the people here will be its opponent, and there will not be many people who have the courage to fight the demon beasts. Your own call for help can at most let others know that there is danger, so that you can run away quickly, right?"
In a short time, the shadow ate the goat demon beast cleanly, and even the bones were swallowed by it.
Subsequently, Zhu Jing found that something was wrong.
It grinned in Zhu Jing's direction.
"Ahhhhh
Strangely, the shadow didn't tear her to shreds directly, and there was no sign of chasing her, so silently, disappeared into the tree.
The people around heard the call and hurriedly got up to check, and those who knew how to illuminate the spell immediately lit a ball of light.
A girl covered in blood was running towards them.
