The burly man surnamed Huang also had some doubts in his heart. They had been on Longze Mountain for a long time, but they didn't see any transmission notes coming back. It was indeed strange!
The burly man also retreated and said in deep thought: "Why don't we retreat to the flat hill area for the time being? At least there are many monks who have experience in hunting monsters and go up the mountain rashly. I always feel that something is wrong! Why don't we wait for them on the flat hill?
It will be safer for the team to gather in one place and hunt for treasures in Longze Mountain."
The more Meng Yan thought about it, the more worried she became, but she didn't have the courage to go back and see the snake herder again, so she looked at Gu Qing and the burly man and asked for their opinions: "It's been so long, but it's still the same
We haven’t contacted Mr. Guo and Second Senior Sister, so I’m afraid their luck is not as good as ours! Whether they are alive or dead, we can’t say for sure. For the current plan, we can only take one step at a time. I saw a lot of monsters along the way.
The corpses are all freshly dead, and most of them were traces left by the monks’ team in front of them. As long as we keep going up the mountain, we will surely find traces of the monks’ team!”
Gu Qing nodded silently. His goal was the Dendrobium spp. on the northern slope of Longze Mountain. Passing through the forest and climbing over the mountains and ridges was the only way to go.
Seeing that the two of them had the same opinion, the burly man had no choice but to follow him with his head down and murmured: "That's it! If we meet another team of monks again, the three of us will apply to join the team. In short, one more teammate, one more teammate
Share your strength!"
The three of them walked for nearly half an hour, and finally saw the shadows of the monks in front of them, a total of ten of them!
"Hey! Fellow Taoist in front, stay!" the burly man shouted at the top of his lungs.
These ten people hunted three fifth-level demon bears. When they looked back and saw Gu Qing and the others, they all looked surprised!
"Aren't you three going with Guo Tuo'er?" The leading monk in blue recognized the burly man and Meng Yan at a glance, and was also slightly impressed by Gu Qing who was meditating under the ancient tree on the bank of Daze.
Meng Yan nodded repeatedly and asked expectantly: "Yes! Have you ever met our captain? And my second senior sister?"
The burly man added: "In addition to the two of them, there is also a swordsman in a green shirt! That is also our teammate."
A strange look appeared on the face of the monk in blue, and he sighed: "We did see them when we passed through the sky, and invited them to join us, but Guo Tuoer refused. Afterwards, we passed Pinggang,
There is no trace of them. I advised the three of us to go with us. We have already lost six teammates along the way. They were either killed by the treasure-hunting monks who crossed the river together, or they were killed by the vicious monks from Longze Mountain. The losses were higher than before.
Any time it happens will be disastrous!"
"What?! Dao killed six monks!" The burly man's pupils shrank sharply. What surprised him most was that not one of them died under the claws of the monster. They were all killed by humans.
Gu Qing was also frightened and wondered: "The vicious monks of Longze Mountain? On the way into Linhai, we met a strange snake shepherd in black robes, but he did not have any murderous intentions towards us.
He also specially gave us directions.”
The faces of the leading captain in blue and the nine teammates all changed, and they exclaimed: "Black-robed monk? But a monk with a silver-threaded dragon pattern embroidered on the skirt of his black robe, and a black mark on his eyebrows?
"
Gu Qing nodded seriously. He had been a little weird when he saw the snake shepherds before, especially the marks between their eyebrows, which impressed him deeply. Now that he saw them yelling, he was even more confused.
Meng Yan was also surprised and said: "Aside from raising a lot of demonic snakes, the snake herder doesn't necessarily have anything surprising, let alone vicious. What? Is there something wrong?"
The captain in blue had a solemn expression on his face and said in a deep voice: "We are seeing two young black-robed demon cultivators in the late stages of recovery! They are both dressed like this, and they have the same marks on their eyebrows! These two people are ruthless,
In just a few breaths, he killed three of our teammates and escaped unscathed. We thought they were from the same sect and were just brothers, but from what you said, the snake shepherd was an old man, so it was obvious that they were
They are a group of people with very strange origins!”
The monks were also talking a lot, guessing the identities of these black-robed monks.
Meng Yan's heart sank, thinking that her second senior sister Zhang Qiuyun had probably been poisoned by these black-robed demon cultivators!
The burly man surnamed Huang frowned and said: "I heard from the snake herder that he came to Longze Mountain half a year ago. Did they build a sect in Longze Mountain specifically to house extremely vicious evil cultivators and demonic cultivators?
"
This kind of thing is also common in the world of immortality. Evil cultivators, ghost cultivators and demonic cultivators are often despised by the righteous cultivators. Either to avoid enemies or to covet evil things in one place, they gather in groups and occupy them.
It is also common for sects to be established in the mountains.
"Yes! Fellow Taoist and I have the same view." The captain in blue sighed, looked at the bright moon falling in the west, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that we have gone up to the Thief Mountain. The current Longze Mountain is much different from the past.
No, our situation is not good! If we want to get out of Longze Mountain, we have to wait for the night of looking at the moon in a month. You three join our team, there is strength in numbers! We will meet the black men in Longze Mountain again.
The monks in the robes are also capable of fighting and will not be assassinated."
Meng Yan and the burly man agreed in unison, and Gu Qing, who had been silent all this time, also responded casually.
Everyone was together, and although they were under the shadow of the black-robed monk, they were not necessarily pessimistic.
"Longze Mountain is so big, with mountains connected to mountains and ridges connected to ridges. Let's find a place to hide. I don't believe those black-robed monks can find it!"
"Yes! There are thirteen of us. What's so scary about meeting ordinary cultivators? As long as everyone doesn't spread out, I can guarantee your safety!"
Seeing the excitement they were talking about, Gu Qing said calmly: "We can't go to the top of the mountain. This is the road pointed by the black-robed snake shepherd. Maybe what's waiting for us on the mountain is a trap that will catch all of us!"
Everyone's hearts trembled, and they said yes again and again! Even the captain in blue also looked at Gu Qing, a young Xiu who had cultivated his body, with admiration: "Thanks for reminding me, little brother, we can't get into the pockets arranged by others and turn around immediately. It's best if we can
Join the monks on the hillock!"
The burly man had this intention, and they hit it off immediately. He took the lead and volunteered to lead the way, carrying the earth spirit stick.
Gu Qing sighed. When he said he wanted to retreat, these people ran faster than rabbits. His original intention was to let everyone climb the mountain path so that they could go around to the north slope to pick bunches of dendrobium.
But abandoning the team and walking alone is undoubtedly very dangerous. Even if Gu Qing has five fifth-level spirit beasts and a fourth-level spirit turtle, if he encounters a group of black-robed demon cultivators, he will die in vain.
Gu Qing had no choice but to go with them to Pinggang first and meet up with more monks. Anyway, he would have to stay on Longze Mountain for a month and encourage people to go to the north slope. He had plenty of time!
Unexpectedly, before they had gone ten miles, a heavy fog arose in the forest, filling the air with a strong stench!
The burly man surnamed Huang no longer dared to pretend to be a hero, so he hurriedly stepped back and said in shock: "This fog is very strange! It was not there when we came here."
Meng Yan was the most sensitive to this fishy smell and said in a trembling voice: "The demon snakes are a large group of demon snakes! That snake herder must die a good death! He was definitely the one who released them."
"I'm afraid that may not be the case! There are more than just snake herders surrounding us!"
Gu Qing looked intently and saw three or four dark shadows in the heavy fog. There were demonic snakes everywhere, ranging from low-level to fifth-level ones. It was these demonic snakes that spit out snake letters and poisonous mist!
Meng Yan almost fainted, and the leading monk in blue was also shaken and made a decisive decision: "Retreat! Once surrounded by their snake formation, no matter how many people there are, it will be in vain."
Everyone ran up the mountain again. Gu Qing looked at it and frowned secretly, shouting: "This is clearly the black-robed monks who want to trap us. There must be an ambush on the mountain. Hurry up and run away and rush out of the forest!"
Everyone suddenly understood and hurriedly took out the jade slips of the Longze Mountain map from their storage bags and looked for other mountain roads.
Gu Qing said coldly: "No need to read! As for the mountain roads written on the jade slips on the map, the black-robed monks here are more familiar with them than us. If you want to escape along the existing mountain roads, you will inevitably reach the sky. We have to find another way.
Just ride on the sword light, scatter the giant eagles in the sky, and head for the mountains at the eastern foot of Longze Mountain! There is an unknown area that has not been recorded on several maps and jade slips. Although it is dangerous, it is better than being targeted by these black-robed monks.
.”
The captain in blue took a deep look at Gu Qing and nodded solemnly: "Okay! Just follow what the little brother said. Listen to my orders, and let's ride on the sword light and rush towards the mountains to the east!"
Gu Qing took a picture of the magic weapon flying in the clouds and flew together with everyone's sword light.
As soon as they arrived above the forest sea, the large fifth-order eagles that had been hovering for a long time pounced on them one after another.
Gu Qing's cloud magic weapon was mixed in the sword light of everyone, flying slowly and slowly. He could neither fly too fast to the front, nor fall behind and be at the bottom. Only in the middle, this is the safest!
He held several fourth-level top-grade magic-breaking talismans in his hands. The power of this talisman may not be as powerful as the Five Thunder Talisman, but it is more powerful because the talisman is bright. Once it is played, it can shine for several miles around, and it has a certain effect on birds and beasts.
The intimidation effect is not to seriously injure the opponent, but to scare them away.
Following two shrill screams, two cultivators fell and were bitten by several large eagles, and were immediately torn into pieces.
The monks were frightened when they saw it. They threw away magic talismans and bombarded them with magic weapons at all costs. They finally broke out a bloody path and left the large group of fifth-level eagles behind. Even if there were a few sporadic ones that chased them, they were all beaten by Lan Yi.
The stronger monks, such as the captain and the burly man, were smashed into meat pies.
Everyone rushed out of Linhai, got rid of the siege of the fifth-order eagle, and flew to the east foot of Longze Mountain. Although two people were injured, their strength was still there.
The leading captain in blue looked back at Lin Hai unwillingly and snorted coldly: "Those snake herders in the forest don't have the guts to pursue them, and their strength is only that much! If there weren't a large group of demonic snakes to help, just the dozen of us would be able to fight.
