Chapter 357 The Hunter and the Prey
The place where Wu Tao and those monks were located happened to be a place with a lot of mountains and rocks. Therefore, those monks were concealed in the blink of an eye, and they all hid behind the big black stones, forming an encirclement formation like a pocket against Wu Tao.
This pocket is a trap waiting for Li Zhaoyuan to enter.
Senior Brother Wu, a gang of traitors, seems to have done this kind of unsightly deed, and they are also very handy in cooperating.
This open pocket can be seen clearly under Li Zhaoyuan's divine sense scanning. Looking at this group of beam-jumping clowns, he couldn't help but smile in his heart: "Hehe, it's really interesting." I'd like to see how you play this scene?"
Li Zhaoyuan could see them, but they didn't have a way to directly see Li Zhaoyuan with their divine sense. Therefore, Li Zhaoyuan was not in a hurry, and slowly flew forward like watching a monkey show all the way.
Wu Tao's group of monks, except for Wu Tao, who was a cultivator in the later stage of foundation building, the rest were a total of five people, and every monk was also a foundation builder. Two of them were wearing the standard robes of the Bone Worship Sect, and their bodies showed an eerie aura that made people look extremely uncomfortable. Both of them have the cultivation of the late stage of foundation building. The two of them looked gloomy, as if they were dead fathers and mothers. This has something to do with the environment in which they practice all year round.
The other two were disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect. The two look very similar, and if you guess correctly, they should be blood brothers. Each of them held a similar sword in his hand. Two knives together should be a set. It seems that the magic spells practiced by these two brothers are similar, and the magic weapons they use should also be able to cooperate with each other.
One of him is a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, and the other is a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building. Because the two of them complement each other in cultivating the magic and learn from each other's strengths, they should only be strong and not weak compared to the two disciples of the Bone Worship Sect.
From their unruly expressions, it can be seen that they don't seem to take Wu Tao very seriously. Now they can cooperate because they have common interests, and they are finally united. This kind of relationship of mutual exploitation does not seem to be very solid. As long as there is any dangerous and terrifying incident, this unreliable combination will be broken up immediately.
The remaining monk was a casual monk. This man looked ordinary, inconspicuous, with a bronze face, and was dressed in a mortal costume like a woodcutter, as if he had worked hard all his life. He didn't look like an immortal cultivator at all, but like a woodcutter who went into the mountains to collect firewood, and accidentally met an immortal playing chess, and watched the chess silently on the sidelines.
At this time, although his appearance and dress are very ordinary, his cultivation is not weak, and he even has the cultivation of the later stage of foundation building. It seems that it is also because his cultivation is not weak that he was able to join Wu Tao's gang and gain a firm foothold. If the strength is not enough, I am afraid that Wu Tao will already be the prey of Wu Tao.
In this blood-colored demon cave where the weak eat the strong, most of the monks who have no strength will have died a long time ago.
Wu Tao, the hunters, saw Li Zhaoyuan slowly drifting in, and they were not in a hurry. Although Wu Tao could see that there were a few of his own fellow sects, there was no way to see the monks of other sects who did not sense the jade slip.
Therefore, they had to be cautious, always maintaining an ambush formation, carefully scanning the range of a hundred zhang, only waiting for the prey to step into his encirclement and enter their attack range.
When Wu Tao saw that it was Li Zhaoyuan who entered their divine consciousness alone, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed. I thought it would attract big fish, but I didn't expect it to be just a small fish.
In their opinion, the monks who were able to get here should be very strong, or just a few or a dozen monks traveling in groups. As long as they can be lured over, there should be at least three or four monks, and the strength will not be too weak.
Now there is only Li Zhaoyuan alone, so Wu Tao and his gang were suddenly disappointed.
Wu Tao knew Li Zhaoyuan, and he knew that Li Zhaoyuan was a disciple of the Xianqiao Sect who had not been in the company for a long time. Even if he is already an inner disciple at this time, he will not have much oil and water if he wants to.
Therefore, when Wu Tao saw that Li Zhaoyuan was alone, he originally wanted to get rid of this nameless boy who had a holiday with him, but when he thought about it, there was something wrong.
Because Li Zhaoyuan, such a small inner disciple, was able to come here. If it weren't for the strength of his cultivation, then he would have come in company with them. Looking at Li Zhaoyuan's appearance now, it doesn't look like his strength is very powerful. So there is only one other possibility. That's with other monks.
However, at this time, there was only one monk Li Zhaoyuan, and no other monks came. It is likely that Li Zhaoyuan is just a spy. Because of his weak strength, it is very likely that he will be sent out to explore the way.
Therefore, Wu Tao did not do it immediately, but transmitted the sound to several other accomplices who were in ambush, asking them to calm down and probe Li Zhaoyuan's tone first.
Before Wu Tao could speak, Li Zhaoyuan entered within a hundred zhang, and then he pretended to be surprised and asked: "Oh, Senior Brother Wu, why are you here? Are you the only one? What about the other fellow doors? I saw the distress signal of the same door, why didn't I see any danger here?"
"It turned out to be Senior Brother Li?" Wu Tao said with some embarrassment: "It's great that Senior Brother you can come." Senior brother, I did encounter a few blood demons besieging me just now. ”
"Blood Demon Where, Where is it?" Li Zhaoyuan pretended to be quite frightened and frightened.
"Hehe, fortunately, I'm lucky, I was killed by luck just now. Wu Tao said.
"Oh, I see. What about the corpse of the Blood Demon Demon?" Li Zhaoyuan didn't break him, and asked again.
Wu Tao saw Li Zhaoyuan's endless questions, and pointed to the rear angrily: "It's more than two hundred zhang away from here." I'm afraid that there will be blood demons chasing after me, so I asked for it in the direction of you, junior brother. ”
"I see, Senior Brother Wu is really a strong cultivator. If I had been a junior brother, I would have died a long time ago. Li Zhaoyuan slapped his ass.
Thousands of clothes are not worn, hearing Li Zhaoyuan's words, Wu Tao's heart suddenly felt comfortable and proud. This silly boy newcomer isn't that annoying. He's still quite discerning.
The sycophants were comfortable, but they didn't dispel Wu Tao's evil intentions, and he asked in a slower tone, "Why did Senior Brother Li come here alone?"
"No one else, no one else, just me. I was lost, so I had to sneak cautiously along the way. It took a lot of blood demons to get here. Now I can meet Senior Brother Wu, that's great. I'm safe now. With Senior Brother Wu's care, I will definitely be able to escape this bloody trial. Li Zhaoyuan said very happily with an innocent look of ignorance of the world, and it seemed that he was finally relieved.
"Is it really you?" Wu Tao asked again in disbelief.
"Hehe, yes. Senior Brother Wu, in the next time, you have to take care of me, a fellow disciple! I can only rely on you, Senior Brother, now. Li Zhaoyuan deliberately aggravated the last sentence to express his respect and trust for Senior Brother Wu.
"Are you really alone?"
"Yes, it's me. ”
"Hehe, that's great!" Wu Tao finally showed a sinister face after repeated inquiries.
"A few Taoist friends can come out. Let's take good care of my junior brother. There was a sneer in his tone, but also a little disappointment. After all, this little fish is really too small. In his mind, the oil and water must not be enough for them.
However, Wu Tao did not mean to let go of Li Zhaoyuan. He's a villain who can't get his hands on it. Li Zhaoyuan once made him lose face in the division, and he lost face in front of so many fellow disciples. If he didn't trample Li Zhaoyuan under his feet and ravage him, how could his heart be better. Otherwise, he wouldn't have colluded with bandits to attack such a small newcomer.
At this time, Li Zhaoyuan sent it to the door by himself, just in time to fulfill his wish for revenge. It's too late for him to be happy, how could he let him go, and it's impossible to team up with Li Zhaoyuan.
