Gu Yuan stepped forward to pick up the crow corpse and inspect it. The crow was a mummy and had been dead for a long time.
Just then, a plume of black smoke came out of the crow's body.
Gu Yuan immediately threw the crow away, only to find that a skull mark had appeared on his hand.
"What's this?"
Li Cheng shook his head and said he didn't know.
The little eagle's expression suddenly changed, and he looked carefully at the mark on Gu Yuan's hand before saying: "I know this mark, it is a magic spell, the mark of the undead.
Unless he is dead, this mark will always follow you and he will be able to find you no matter where you go.
Gu Yuan, now we are in trouble..."
Gu Yuan felt a little depressed. If he had known better, he would not have picked up the crow.
"You go first, let's separate. I'll go west, and you guys will take a detour to the southeast. We'll be safe when we get back to the True Fire Hall. No matter how brave this Surratt is, he won't dare to go to the True Fire Hall to seek revenge on us."
The little eagle said unhappily: "What are you talking about?
We are brothers, we share blessings and share disasters, who do you think I, Wu Ying, am?"
Li Cheng also said, "We can't separate, it's easier to die if we separate! Don't stay here, we have to leave quickly."
"His target is me. If you leave first, he will definitely come after me. Now is not the time to show off as a hero. You should quickly return to your sect and recruit reinforcements!"
“But, what kind of reinforcements can we find?
We haven’t reported to the Eagle Guard yet.”
"Damn, it was a miscalculation. It was me who got everyone involved. Let's report to the Eagle Guard first when we get back this time!"
"Don't talk so much now. It's not certain whether we can go back."
"You go ahead and go find Deacon Pei, or issue a Class A mission to find someone to help."
"We can't leave, what will you do if we leave?
You won’t be able to hold on until we come back! Besides, where will we find you when we come back?”
"You can only hold me back here, so hurry up and leave!"
"Gu Yuan, I still have a dozen Perak sons, give them all to you..."
"Just give me five, and you can split the rest with Li Cheng."
The place where the three of them were was surrounded by towering trees.
At this moment, the sky darkened unknowingly, and it looked a bit eerie. A gust of wind blew, and the leaves rustled.
There were also plaintive cries in the wind, which sounded creepy.
"Leave quickly, or it will be too late!"
"what is that?"
Li Cheng turned his head and found a group of black mist in the woods behind them, quickly drifting towards where they were.
"Go quickly..."
"Kid, don't leave, try the power of my soul-eating poisonous whip!"
The black mist rushed over, fell to the ground and dissipated into the form of Surratt. Then with a flick of his sleeve, a long bone whip rolled towards the three of them.
The three people naturally divided into three groups and ran away in three directions.
"Snapped!"
The bone whip hit the ground, creating a deep trench in the ground.
Gu Yuan narrowly avoided the fatal blow from the bone whip, and then ran away.
But what surprised him was that Surratt didn't come to chase him. Instead, he chased the little eagle, who had the lowest cultivation level among the three of them.
Li Cheng also discovered this situation and turned around to support the little eagle.
If the little eagle falls into Surratt's hands, it will surely die.
Even if Li Cheng is added, there is no chance of winning!"
Gu Yuan made a decision immediately, "Li Cheng, you go back to find Deacon Pei, and I'll go rescue the little eagle!"
"Let's go together, you can't do it alone!"
"No, we three can't all stay here, someone has to go back and report the news!"
"But……"
"Stop it, don't forget, your mother is still sick, go quickly!"
After saying that, Gu Yuan suddenly stuffed him with something and said in a lower voice: "Turn southwest and wait for us at Tiger's Pass!"
Li Cheng was stunned. Gu Yuan had already rushed out. Li Cheng stamped his feet and finally ran towards the direction of Scarlet Flame City.
At this time, Sulet had rushed not far behind the little eagle. His heart was not on Li Cheng. When he heard that Gu Yuan asked Li Cheng to return to the True Fire Hall, he didn't care either.
He turned to look at Li Cheng and ran toward Scarlet Flame City. He ignored it, but the bone whip in his hand suddenly lengthened, and he swiped at the little eagle again.
Based on his intuition, Surratt felt that the little eagle must be a big fish and might be able to make up for his loss this time.
The little eagle rolled on the spot to avoid the attack of the bone whip, got up and wanted to continue running forward.
But Sulet took a step ahead of him, the whip grew longer again, and then with a swipe, he rolled up the little eagle's legs and threw it to the ground hard.
The little eagle was thrown to the ground and vomited blood, almost unable to get up.
The long whip retracted, and Surratt slowly walked toward him with the long whip in hand, stopping less than ten meters away from him.
"Hehehe...little eagle, right? Don't worry, I won't let you die so easily."
In Surratt's sinister sneer, the little eagle was surprised to find that the layered skull patterns embroidered on the hem of Surratt's dark gray robe seemed to come to life.
Surratt made a decision and recited a strange spell, and black mist filled the air.
Some skeletons actually climbed down from Surratt's robe, roared, struggled, and crawled towards the little eagle.
In the thick fog, there seemed to be countless voices crying and howling, impacting the little eagle's eardrums.
"Let you see what I can do..."
"Come on, let me hear your cry, call your friend Gu Yuan and let him come to save you..."
The skeletons that climbed down from Surat's robes had long vertebrae attached to the bottom of their heads, and their limbs were also built on them.
As they crawl, the little eagle can even see the dried black meat on their bones.
This scene is so frightening that if you encounter someone who is timid, you will probably be scared to death on the spot!
Seeing that the little eagle was about to be surrounded by these skeletons.
At this moment, Gu Yuan arrived.
"True Feather Sword Technique: Block out the sky and the sun!"
All of a sudden, Gu Yuan transformed into three clones.
He controlled three clones to attack Surratt.
At the same time, he made a move of his own.
"Long burning burning way!"
A fire dragon rushed towards the skeletons crawling on the ground, and countless withered bones were destroyed in an instant.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when Sulet was surrounded by clones, Gu Yuan rushed to Little Eagle's side.
But as soon as he rushed to the little eagle's side, he heard Surratt yelling.
All three clones were beaten to the point of dissipation by Surratt.
Gu Yuan formed a seal with his hands, and the three clones merged together again.
Gu Yuan, who had already established his foundation, could perform moves without taking any more pills, but the spiritual power consumption was still serious.
Surratt was furious: "You hurt my bone slave, I will make you pay the price!"
Then, he muttered something in his mouth, pointed at Gu Yuan and started a jerky spell...
