Chapter 16: The Enemy in the Shadows

In the chaotic stone forest, Yue Fan put the stone left and right, and tossed for a while before stopping.

Seeing that the other party was so cautious, Chen Xiang couldn't help but smile: "Brother, other hunters all set traps, but you, the hunter, are good, you actually moved out the formation, it's just overkill!"

"Uh!" Yue Fan was embarrassed and laughed at himself: "Hunter...... Am I still a hunter? Daddy was so angry that he didn't jump out of anger when he saw me like this......"

The voice paused, and Chenxiang could understand that Yue Fan was sad, so he gently held the other party's hands and silently conveyed the warmth in his heart.

The dead have left, and the living will continue to live for the people in front of them.

Yue Fan understood this truth very early, so he walked out of his grief.

Chenxiang looked around, changed the topic and said, "Brother, what kind of formation did you set up just now?" I don't see any changes around. ”

"It's just a normal "Lost Circle" that traps enemies that break into the vicinity...... It's just that it doesn't have much effect when encountering a strong enemy, but fortunately, there is a stone forest around to cover it, even if there is an enemy surprise attack, it shouldn't be a problem to escape. ”

"Enemy?!Brother means that there are other people on this island besides us and the people upstairs?"

Chenxiang raised her eyebrows and looked at Yue Fan, who nodded solemnly: "When I crossed the jungle, I felt strange, such a lonely island, why can't I feel the breath of life, and there are not even a single bird in the forest...... Also, what happened on the snowy mountains was even more strange, why did the ant tide and the swarm of bats suddenly attack us, and how did the ancient beast "Snake Turner" in the lake come about? I always felt that someone was watching our every move. ”

Chenxiang pondered: "If it's really as my brother said, then wouldn't it be dangerous for us now?" Moreover, Xiao Mingyou is still on the boat...... Brother, what should we do now?" Chenxiang knew that Yue Fan's feelings for Xiao Mingyou were not just a sense of guilt and responsibility, but more of tolerance and care.

Yue Fan looked at the sky, shook his head and said, "It's almost dark now, it will be dangerous to travel at night, let's wait until tomorrow morning before leaving...... After taking Mingyou with us, we will find a way to get out of this isolated island...... I just hope I guessed wrong!"

Is it really wrong?

Chenxiang understood that Yue Fan just didn't want to worry too much, in fact, they were indeed in danger! But what could he do?

Suddenly!

The emotions were agitated, the meridians twitched, Chenxiang's heart was torn, her face was pale, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead...... She hurriedly lowered her head, trying to control her calmness and not let Yue Fan see her abnormality.

For a moment, heaven and earth were silent.

......

――――――――――――

Far away from the snow-capped mountains, dozens of miles to the south......

The cave was cold and damp, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of mud.

At this time, Shi Biyao and the five elders and the others sat down to breathe, their faces were full of exhaustion! After a fierce battle with the water beast, the six of them finally left without danger, but unfortunately the snow mountain could not go back for the time being.

......

After a while, Granny Bai slowly opened her eyes and sighed: "I can't imagine that I have to suffer such a sin at a great age, alas...... I've never been so embarrassed, old woman!"

Everyone woke up one by one, only to see their clothes in tatters and their hair in a mess...... Such an embarrassed appearance, how can it make people feel good.

Shi Bi had to feel bitter in her heart, if she and the others were willing to listen to what Yue Fan said, they would not have ended up like this.

The more the red-robed old woman thought about it, the more angry she became, and she said angrily: "Eldest sister, what kind of monster was that just now? It was so violent, even the five of us couldn't even hold it ...... our hands."

Before Granny Bai could speak, the blue-robed old woman took over and said, "That water beast reminds me of the fierce beast beside Li Yuefan......

"The fourth sister said that the "poor strange"?" The old woman in the red robe was stunned!

The blue-robed old woman nodded and said, "If my guess is correct, the water beast just now should also be an ancient xenomorph!"

"The fourth is right. Granny Bai said in a deep voice: "I once saw in a book of "Miscellaneous Tales of the Flood and Wilderness", the name of the water beast just now is called "Turning Snake", with a human face and a snake body, and wings on its back, called like a baby, it is the overlord of the water...... I can't imagine that there is such a beast on the isolated island, and we are not wronged at all for suffering this time!"

The old woman in the green robe also said: "As far as I know, the ancient aliens were not strong when they were growing up in the early stage, but once they entered the maturity stage, even the masters of the Heavenly Dao Middle Realm would not be able to defeat them, and if they fully grow, they would be invincible!"

The black-robed old woman said coldly: "I think that at the beginning, the fierce beasts around Li Yuefan were able to resist the attacks of the five of us before they were mature, and this time the 'Snake Turning Snake' was even more powerful! If we hadn't carried the 'Heaven Replenishing Pill' with us, I'm afraid it would have been difficult to get out." ”

When they think of the scene when the "snake" was full of water arrows, everyone still has palpitations.

Seeing that the atmosphere was gloomy, Shi Biyao immediately asked, "Granny Bai, I can't go up the snow mountain at this time, so what should we do now?"

“......”

After thinking about it, Granny Bai's face was wrinkled into a ball: "The 'turning snake' is guarding under the snow-capped mountain, and there are bats and ants attacking on the mountain, and it is difficult for us to get close to the top of the snowy mountain. Even if you rush up, you won't last long. ”

"Hey!" the red-robed old woman said depressedly: "I can't imagine that the masters of our five great heavenly realms can't help those beasts!"

The blue-robed old woman said disapprovingly: "The vastness of heaven and earth is nothing strange, and the 'Snake' is a different species that has existed since ancient times, so it's not surprising that we can't deal with him. ”

The old woman in the green robe asked one by one, "Fourth, do you have any way?"

The old woman in the blue robe said slowly: "Heart disease will eventually have a heart medicine doctor, and the bell needs to be tied to the bell." It seems that we still have to ask Li Yuefan for help. ”

Everyone's brows furrowed, obviously with some scruples in their hearts.

After a pause, the blue-robed old woman continued: "Li Yuefan is familiar with the mountains and wilderness, and he knows the whereabouts of the treasure...... We can't let him go alone under any circumstances, and if he goes alone in search of treasure, or if there are any secrets left untold, won't we end up in vain......? Although Li Yuefan has a kindness to the Demon Gate, the little girl next to him is a member of the Hidden Sect, and he feels that he can't let her know the true secret of our trip. ”

At the mention of the word "Hidden Sect", a cold light flashed in Granny Bai's eyes: "Li Yuefan must find it back, as for the little girl of the Hidden Sect...... If she wants to prevent us from waiting, the old woman will not be polite!"

When the words fell, there was a chill around him!

Shi Biyao opened her mouth to say something, but when the words came to her mouth, she was choked.

"Then what should we do?" the red-robed old woman hurriedly asked, "That kid is running fast, how can we find it?"

"Why should we go to him?" said the blue-robed old woman with a smile, "as long as the little one is still on the boat, I am not afraid that he will not go back." ”

"I see!"

Everyone was stunned.

......

――――――――――――

Night falls, and the moonlight waives through the cold earth.

Just in case, Yue Fan gave up the fire, and the surroundings were dim.

"Se-ssi--"

There was a throbbing in the dark, and Yue Fan suddenly opened his eyes.

"Coming!?"

......
