In this way, although Wang Tiezhu suffered a little injury, the strength of the team was strengthened. The original team of four people was joined by a bone-blade demon dog with mysterious origins but great strength.
Of course, since it has become his companion, it would be inappropriate to continue calling it the "Bone Blade Demonic Dog".
So after a heated discussion among the four people, Bai Miaoer finally rejected other people's suggestions and decided to call it "Bone".
Bones did not show the slightest dissatisfaction with the fact that it was renamed after its own food. Every time Bai Miaoer called it Bones, she would hold her head high, wagging her tail, and her pride was palpable.
Early on the next morning, Wang Tiezhu and his party packed up everything and officially entered the core area of the Duanjue Mountains, where they would stay for at least seven or eight days.
As they penetrated deeper into the core area, the surrounding light quickly dimmed.
I don’t know how long the trees here have passed. You can’t see the tops of the trees at a glance, and the terrain is extremely rugged.
At one time it was a narrow valley, and at another it was a bush full of thorns. They had only walked for less than two hours, and they were already out of breath from exhaustion.
"What the hell is this place!"
In an open space somewhere, several people were sitting scattered on the ground to rest, and Lan Yang's complaints kept coming.
"I have been walking for decades, and no part of it has ever been as difficult as it is today!"
Wang Tiezhu lowered his head and smiled bitterly. Although Di Wu had already reminded everyone to be mentally prepared when they entered the Cutoff Mountains, they were still extremely exhausted when they actually walked in it.
Compared with the three of them, Bai Miaoer and Bones seemed to be particularly relaxed. The former was petite and flexible, and could easily cross some difficult terrains. Even if he was in trouble, he could turn into a little fox and float in the air.
As for the latter, it is equipped with an extremely hard bone blade, and it is extremely arrogant when it encounters mountains. It should be that the terrain here is afraid of it, not that it is afraid of the terrain here.
Although Wang Tiezhu was tired from the two-hour trek, the real crisis had not yet appeared.
That being that even the bones are afraid of.
Along the way, while dealing with complex and changeable terrain, they had to maintain an absolute high level of vigilance, fearing that the existence that Bones mentioned would suddenly appear.
However, I don't know whether it was because they were not in a deep position yet, or because the being had moved its location and didn't feel anything was wrong.
While several people were complaining and taking a rest, the bones lying at Bai Miaoer's feet seemed to feel something. He stood up suddenly and looked in one direction.
When several people saw this scene, their expressions changed drastically.
Lan Yang was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he asked Bai Miaoer nervously.
"Bai Yatou, please ask it quickly if that scary thing has appeared?"
Bai Miao'er nodded, reached out and pressed Bone's head, and then shook her head under the nervous gaze of everyone.
"No! The bone said that it sensed the breath of other humans and the smell of blood..."
"What?"
Wang Tiezhu frowned slightly when he heard this, looked at Di Wu on the side, and guessed: "Brother Di, could it be that other monks across the Cutoff Mountains are in danger?"
Di Wu thought and nodded, "It's very possible...should we go and have a look?"
Wang Tiezhu thought for a while and said: "Let's go and have a look. After all, we are all cultivators. It's okay to help out when we encounter trouble. Just treat it as a good relationship..."
Several people nodded in agreement, letting Bones lead the way, and ran towards the place where the smell of blood came from.
As they got closer to their destination, Wang Tiezhu and others gradually smelled the strong smell of blood, and the sound of fighting reached their ears.
Upon hearing this, Wang Tiezhu knew that the situation was not good, and immediately led everyone to speed up the pace.
…
In the distance, a young man in gorgeous clothes with a panic look on his face was protected by several monks holding spiritual swords. In front of them, several people were besieging a terrifying-looking monster.
This demonic beast was extremely large and looked like a combination of rock and tree vines. Countless thorns protruded from its coiled body and it swung wildly at the surrounding monks.
These thorns are covered with sharp thorns. Once they are hit, a large piece of flesh and blood will be hung from them, or they will be killed on the spot. At this moment, several people have fallen unconscious in a pool of blood, and they do not know whether they are dead or alive.
Next to the young man, there was a burly man wearing spiritual armor. The strong man pulled a thin old man aside and roared viciously.
"Didn't you say that this route is absolutely safe? Why did you encounter such a monster?"
The old man was already thin and frail, so he was directly lifted into the air by the strong man and said tremblingly.
"This... how did I know... it was safe last time I left..."
"Damn it!"
The strong man spat angrily, pushed the old man aside, and came to the young man.
"Don't worry, sir! I will send you out safely today!"
The young man nodded with a pale face and whispered: "Thank you... Many thanks, General Hu..."
The strong man known as "General Hu" nodded, waved his hand, pulled out a big sword out of thin air, and then said to several monks around him.
"Leave two young masters to protect me! The others will follow me!"
"yes!"
After hearing the order, several people did not hesitate at all. Only two people were left. The others raised their spiritual swords and followed General Hu towards the monster!
"Kill!!!!"
When the monster saw another attack coming, the thorns on its body stretched out violently, and directly knocked away the two people following General Hu!
However, the other people seemed to have not seen this scene, and they still roared and killed towards it!
General Hu took the lead, raised his sword and cut off several of the monster's thorny tentacles with one strike. At the same time, his spiritual armor glowed brightly, knocking down all the tentacles that were about to attack him from behind!
However, the situation of the few monks following him was not good. Their cultivation was far inferior to that of General Hu. Facing the crazy thorns coming at them, they could only resist with all their strength, but had no way to fight back!
Turning his head and seeing this scene, General Hu frowned, then sighed slightly, and raised his knife to chop at the monster again, but unexpectedly, his knife was blocked by a rock wall!
This is one of the monster's abilities!
Then several thorns grew out of the stone wall and wrapped him up instantly!
Fortunately, the spiritual armor on his body was very powerful. Another burst of light flashed through, and the thorn tentacles that trapped him immediately turned into fragments and fell off. He also took the opportunity to duck aside!
