"No, why didn't I see it? Dean Qin, don't scare me!"
Fang Zitong said and looked behind him twice. When Qin Tian said this, he felt goosebumps all over his body. He leaned closer to him, feeling a slight chill on his back.
"hehe!"
Jiang Gongchen let out a contemptuous sneer and said: "I'm afraid it's not because you, the dean, was frightened by the bloodthirsty human-faced spider today, so you are suspicious! There are so many of us, what kind of monster dares to seek death and actively seek out us?"
Tuoba Qingyao looked around and found nothing suspicious, and echoed: "Master Qin, are you feeling wrong?"
Seeing that no one was aware, Qin Tian closed his eyes and tried to sense everything around him.
Because of the thick fog, Qin Tian's senses were also affected. He could only sense a radius of about a kilometer, and there were no living creatures around except some tiny mosquitoes.
Apart from the breath of a few people around him, there was no other breath.
"Am I really thinking too much?"
Qin Tian murmured in his heart, and turned to look at Tuoba Qingyao and asked, "By the way, Miss Qingyao, what kind of monster is the scorpion-tailed badger you just mentioned? Why is the Jiugong Sect ordered to hunt this beast?"
Monster?"
Tuoba Qingyao glanced at Jiang Gongchen.
It stands to reason that this is an internal matter within the Jiugong Sect. She just came to assist on the order of the Queen Mother. Whether she can say it or not depends entirely on the other party.
"Let's just say, they will have to help out in the future anyway, so it would be nice to know more about the situation."
For the first time, Jiang Gongchen did not show any composure to Qin Tian and agreed to Tuoba Qingyao's request.
This made Qin Tian glance at the other party suspiciously, feeling that Jiang Gongchen was not holding anything back.
But anyway, idle time is idle, and it will be of some benefit to you to get to know the monsters in the Valley of Ten Thousand Corpses, so that you won't panic if you encounter them.
"According to legend, this scorpion-tailed badger has been entrenched in the Valley of Ten Thousand Corpses for thousands of years, and has killed thousands of people. Not only the sect disciples who entered the Valley of Ten Thousand Corpses, but also ordinary people in some villages have suffered from this monster.
The plunder of beasts.”
"If anyone is targeted by this monster, there will be no bones left, not even traces of blood. It will be like the world has evaporated."
"This monster is very evil. It is said that no one who has seen this monster has ever escaped from its clutches alive, so even now, no one knows what this scorpion-tailed badger looks like."
Fang Zitong smacked his lips and asked a very thought-provoking question.
"Then I'm curious. Since I haven't seen this monster before, why do I know that this monster is called a scorpion-tailed badger?"
Tuoba Qingyao: "..."
Jiang Gongchen rolled his eyes at Fang Zi and said, "If you want to know so much, go underground and ask the sacrificed sect disciples how they knew!"
Fang Zitong laughed awkwardly, waved his hands and said, "Forget it!"
Immediately, Fang Zitong leaned close to Qin Tian and whispered: "Dean Qin, I don't know why, but I always feel that this scorpion-tailed badger looks like something the elders in the family used to scare me."
Qin Tian raised his eyebrows with interest: "How do you say that?"
"When I was young, my parents, in order to prevent me from wandering around outside at night, said that there was a man-eating monster outside. They also said that the monster would drag people underground, leaving no bones or scraps left."
Fang Zitong looked frightened when he said this, like a three-year-old child who was frightened by adults with ghost stories.
Qin Tian couldn't help laughing, patted the other party's shoulder, and said meaningfully: "It seems that you didn't grow up in my village. If you were in my village, you would have been scared to death."
As a child, who hasn't been frightened by the ghost stories told by their playmates? They don't even dare to show their heads when sleeping, for fear of a ghostly face lying outside the window.
After listening to Fang Zitong's words, Qin Tian didn't take it seriously at all and just thought it was a joke.
"Young Master! I have something to report!"
At this moment, Elder Beichuan walked over, his face extremely solemn.
At this time, Jiang Gongchen was busy trying to please Tuoba Fuyao. Seeing his expression, he immediately put away his flattery and became serious.
"What happened?"
Elder Beichuan is the most stable of the four elders. If the other party shows such an expression, something terrible must have happened.
Elder Beichuan opened his mouth and said: "A quarter of an hour ago, Brother Xifeng said he wanted to solve three urgent needs, so he left the cave and has not come back until now."
In a place full of dangers like this, Elder Xifeng won't disappear for long even if he has three emergencies. A quarter of an hour is indeed a long time.
Jiang Gongchen's face darkened and he asked, "Has the message been transmitted?"
Elder Xifeng is Jiang Gongchen's important fighting force, and the loss of an elder will have a great impact on this operation.
The most important thing is that if Elder Xifeng disappears, it is equivalent to losing the Sword Rain Formation.
The Sword Rain Formation must be executed by four powerful men with a clear understanding of each other in order to exert its effect.
Without the Sword Rain Formation, I'm afraid the operation will end in failure.
Elder Beichuan sighed and nodded: "I passed the message, but brother Xifeng didn't respond, so I will report it to you, young master."
"Young Master, are we looking for...or not?"
The Valley of Ten Thousand Corpses is a hundred times more dangerous at night than during the day, with darkness everywhere and shrouded in fog.
It is quite difficult to find someone in this kind of environment.
It is very possible that a group of people will be wiped out because of one person.
Jiang Gongchen clenched his fists and frowned.
During this trip, Jiang Gongchen promised the Queen Mother and Sect Master Jiang that they would definitely deal with the scorpion-tailed badger that was causing trouble in all directions.
But now, the scorpion-tailed badger has not even been found, but it has killed three hundred sect disciples, and now even Elder Xifeng has disappeared.
If you don't look for it, you will look like a young master who is too cool.
Look for it, in case of an accident and fall into the territory of monsters and the whole army will be wiped out...
For a moment, Jiang Gongchen didn't know how to choose.
Seeing Jiang Gongchen's silent appearance, Elder Beichuan showed a sad and disappointed expression on his face.
Elder Xifeng is the brother of the other party. Although he is not related by blood, he is better than the Qin brothers who are related by blood.
Jiang Gongchen's move was obviously his intention to give up on Elder Xifeng. How could this not make Elder Beichuan disappointed and sad?
"Look for it!"
At this moment, Qin Tian stood up and said it naturally without any thought.
Elder Beichuan looked at Qin Tian blankly, his pupils trembling and his eyes questioning.
Previously, Elder Xifeng didn't give Qin Tian a good look in front of everyone.
Among so many people, only Qin Tian could not speak for Elder Xifeng like this.
