The middle-aged man named Jiang Feng, who was called Senior Brother Jiang, raised his hand and stopped his companion.
He watched Chen Yang's figure disappear in the stone forest, and then slowly said: "The mutated demon snake is not far ahead. The three of them only have the realm of outdoor scenes. There is nothing they can do about the mutated demon snake. If they go there, they will die. Let them attract
Attention, demonic snake, we are following behind and will act accordingly."
"good idea!"
"Senior Brother Jiang is still clear-headed."
The two men in black praised him repeatedly, which made Jiang Feng feel very happy.
After discovering the whereabouts of the demonic snake, he thought that the organizer of the treasure hunting competition would definitely place the jade slip on the demonic snake, so he decided to take two junior brothers with him to kill the demonic snake.
However, when Jiang Feng came back, the demon snake was nowhere to be seen. Just as he was worrying about how to lure the snake out of its hole, Chen Yang and others came over.
Originally, he wanted to drive away the people so as not to hinder their hunting, but after checking out Chen Yang's cultivation level, he immediately changed his mind.
Using Chen Yang as bait can test the mutant snake's strength.
So Jiang Feng took his two junior brothers and quietly followed Chen Yang and the others.
Chen Yang's consciousness had long detected the three followers behind him, but he made no response.
The cultivation level of the three men in black was too low for him to take action.
On the contrary, it was the existence of the soul stone veins that made him more interested.
However, not long after leaving, I heard Tian Xingjian exclaim: "Found it!"
"What did you find? What a fuss."
Yuan Fei was startled by Tian Xingjian's loud voice and couldn't help complaining.
"It's the mark left by the owner of the valley!"
Tian Xingjian pointed to a huge rock next to him and said.
Chen Yang looked up in the direction of his finger, and sure enough he saw an arrow symbol carved on the top of the rock, as well as several incomprehensible pictographic marks.
"What's the meaning?"
Chen Yang turned his head and asked.
"This is a secret code that only the disciples of Baiyang Valley know. The mark left by the Valley Master is to let the disciples who are looking for him know where he is going. However, the mark next to it means that the disciples should wait here for news about him and not to go any further.
Let’s go ahead.”
After Tian Xingjian explained, he frowned.
Apparently the Valley Master discovered some kind of danger, so he didn't let the disciples with lower cultivation level continue to look for him.
Tian Xingjian hurriedly followed the direction pointed by the mark, but after walking for a while, he was blocked by a cliff.
At the bottom of the cliff, there is only a huge hole more than one foot high in front of you.
"Fat man, someone might be inside."
Yuan Fei pointed at the footprints beside the cave entrance and said.
Chen Yang scanned the ground around the entrance of the cave and said, "The Valley Master must have been followed and had no choice but to enter this cave."
Tian Xingjian walked over and saw a lot of footprints on the ground, as well as little bits of blood.
"No, the Valley Master is injured!"
Tian Xingjian's face became very ugly, and the hand holding the ax handle made the joints crackle.
"Calm down, the Valley Master is probably not dead yet."
Seeing Tian Xingjian's face full of anger, Chen Yang couldn't control his emotions and said quickly.
"How do you know he's okay?"
Tian Xingjian asked after being stunned for a moment.
"Didn't you see that these footprints are all heading into the cave?"
"So what's the problem?"
Tian Xingjian couldn't figure out the connection between the direction of the footprints and the life and death of the valley owner, and looked baffled.
"You are stupid. If those evil cultivators killed the Valley Master, they would definitely leave this place and leave footprints. No one has been seen leaving the cave, which means everyone is still in the cave."
Yuan Fei raised his head and said matter-of-factly.
Chen Yang spoke at this time and said: "Of course there is another possibility, that is, everyone died inside."
