"The fellow Taoist in front of me and the fellow Taoist behind me suddenly disappeared. I don't know why." The cultivator who became the last one in the team said to the sword-wielding cultivator in front of him with a scared look on his face.
Most of these cultivators travel in groups, and only a few of them act alone. Those who act alone are at the back of the team. Because they have no companions, no one cares about them even if they disappear.
"I don't know him. What does his disappearance have to do with me?" The sword-wielding cultivator acted indifferently.
This sentence left the cultivator walking at the back speechless. For the sake of safety, he quickened his pace and walked to the middle of the team. This way, there were people in front and behind him, so he didn't have to worry about his own safety.
Qianyu held a torch and opened the way ahead, knowing nothing about the unexplained disappearance of cultivators in the team. As they continued to go deeper, the road became wider and wider, and the stone walls on both sides of the road were engraved with various inscriptions.
Various patterns, put together, seem to be telling something. These patterns are not human characters. The cultivators are just curious, but do not understand the meaning of their expressions.
"Some of them look like the characters of the Thunder Spirit Clan, but they are not very similar. I can't confirm the specific characters," said a middle-aged cultivator.
"Boom!"
As soon as the middle-aged cultivator finished speaking, a huge sound came from the stone valley not far away. Everyone was familiar with this sudden sound. It was a bell that could confuse the mind!
Qianyu and Xue Ji were not disturbed. The other cultivators covered their ears. Judging from their expressions, they were not bewitched by the sound of the bell.
The cultivators who went to the inner area of the jungle came well prepared. In order not to be disturbed by the sound of the bell, they all went to the sacred spring to take a bath.
"oh!"
The bells continued to ring, and a spine-chilling scream suddenly came out, frightening everyone to quickly gather into a group back to back, each taking out their weapons, and looking around tremblingly.
Under everyone's frightened eyes, two ugly and weird-looking creatures appeared, one behind the other. They looked tall, with heads like silver-winged blood bats, with silver pupils, wings, hands and feet.
, the body is somewhat similar to that of humans, except that their skin is blood-colored, like scales. There is blood remaining in the mouths of both creatures, and the fishy smell is pervasive, making people feel even more terrifying.
"What... what kind of monster is this?!" someone exclaimed.
"Could the bloodstains at the corners of their mouths come from the disappeared fellow Taoists?"
"call out!"
A creature rushed towards the cultivators. One cultivator screamed in surprise and had no ability to resist. The creature's claws grabbed his shoulder, then pulled it out, and tore it into two halves, leaving flesh and blood.
He flew around and was eaten alive in front of everyone. The scene was extremely bloody.
The cultivators were all so horrified that their faces turned pale, and the cultivators whose concentration was weak had their pants wet. They were so frightened that they cowered and had no courage to resist. They could only wait to die.
Another creature rushed towards Qianyu quickly and bit him. Qianyu condensed his energy into a sword and struck out dozens of swords one after another. Only the sound of "clang, clang, clang" was heard. These swords condensed with vitality did not respond to the strange impact.
The creature causes no substantial damage.
"Can it resist the attack of vitality?" After a failed attack, Qianyu's eyes narrowed and he immediately took out the red meteor stick. The vitality was wrapped around the long stick. He took a step forward and struck down the red meteor stick.
"boom!"
This stick hit the ugly head of the strange creature firmly. The monster felt pain and screamed "Oh". Suddenly it opened its mouth and spit out dozens of poisonous stings, killing Qianyu's head. Qianyu could not react.
Slowly, he immediately turned his head to avoid it, and the poisonous sting hit the stone wall behind him, and dozens of small holes were immediately corroded into the stone wall.
"call out!"
Xue Ji took action, shooting a bloody rainbow light, directly punching a bloody hole in the chest of the strange creature. Qianyu took the opportunity to hit the creature's neck with a stick, hitting it dizzy.
He fell heavily to the ground, moved a few times, and then froze completely.
Another creature was eating away at the body of the cultivator. When it saw its companion falling to the ground, it screamed a few times and rushed towards Qianyu. Just as Qianyu was about to draw out his stick, its body suddenly exploded and blood spurted everywhere.
All of them splashed on Qianyu’s face and clothes.
The bodies and faces of other cultivators were also more or less stained with blood. The sudden explosion of the monster caught them off guard and they had no time to prepare.
"ah!"
In an instant, a cultivator screamed in agony. His body seemed to have been drained instantly, blood came out of his body, and he turned into a mummy.
"It's so hot!"
Another cultivator fell to the ground with a distorted face, strange blood escaped from his body, and he also became a mummy.
"The monster's blood is extremely poisonous!" A cultivator said what he was thinking. After the words fell, he screamed and turned into a mummy.
Waves of screams came out one after another. Anyone whose body or face was stained with the monster's blood would inevitably die. There were dozens of people who came in together, but most of them died in a few breaths, leaving only a dozen or so people.
.
Qianyu's face was also stained with blood, but nothing happened to him. Other cultivators asked him why, and he didn't know why. After thinking about it carefully, could it be related to the fruit that the large intestine gave him to eat?
If that's the case, that fruit is amazing.
The monster's sudden attack caused the cultivators who were lucky enough to survive to retreat and not dare to move forward. They planned to turn back the same way and return to the temple. Qianyu planned to continue moving forward to find an exit.
The bell lasted for a while and then disappeared. Qianyu held the torch and headed deeper into the stone valley. Not far away, he found a simple big bell hanging on the stone wall, showing a bronze color. I don't know what it was.
What material is it made of.
Xue Ji picked up a stone, wrapped it with vitality, and hit it at the big bell. Strangely, the big bell did not make any sound. Instead, the stone exploded directly, making it impossible to get close to the big bell.
"I'm very curious about how this bell rings." Xue Ji looked at the big clock on the stone wall in confusion and said to herself.
Qianyu also had doubts in his eyes. He didn't understand the reason and said, "Ignore the bell for now and move on."
"Yes." Xue Ji did not hesitate and continued to move forward with Qianyu. They found two roads, one on the left and one on the right, each leading to different directions.
"Big brother, which way to go?"
Qianyu was also in trouble. He looked carefully and found that there were many black stones embedded in the stone wall on the left side of the road. They were only the size of eyeballs and were very similar to the beads Shaqiang gave him.
Upon thinking of this, Qianyu immediately took out the black bead from the mustard bag and compared it with those pebbles. It was confirmed that this bead was exactly the same as these pebbles.
"Go to the left." Qianyu made his choice, but his expression was a little disappointed. He thought that the bead that Shaqiang gave him must have a great background, but he didn't expect that it was just an ordinary stone, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. (To be continued)
