It is rumored that the Dark Mantis is an ancient monster, and those who see it will escape death. The reason why their Jiufeng Palace is located here is because of the Dark Mantis.
But the dark mantis in this swamp is just a descendant of the ancient monster, not the real dark mantis.
The dark mantis moves when it smells blood and comes at the beginning of the month.
Everyone knows that the Dark Mantis has such a weakness, so in the past, people often used blood to lure the Dark Mantis. Over time, the Dark Mantis also knew the measure of humans, so it no longer took the bait.
But today, this young man in brocade robes has done enough work.
Lure the Devouring Beast here from the mountains, and then let the warriors fight the Devouring Beast. Through the continuous death of the Warriors, more and more blood will accumulate here.
The strong bloody smell will not only attract the surrounding monsters, but also draw out the dark mantises in the swamp.
When the time comes, Dark Mantis will definitely fight against those monsters. He only needs to recruit some Taoists to set up formations, and he will be able to wipe them all out.
The man in brocade robes had been planning this strategy for half a year, and had attracted as many as a hundred warriors.
It would be horrifying to see the blood of a hundred living people slaughtered like this outside, but here you can do it as long as you are rich and powerful.
Rikishi are all strong men. They have greater strength than ordinary people. They usually do some hard work, so they are recruited here.
Catching monsters is something that some young men from aristocratic families in the Secret Realm of Ghost Tower often do, so these warriors have become accustomed to it and have no idea that they have become someone else's bait.
Moreover, when capturing monsters, there will usually be immortals guarding them, so the warriors also have a bit of luck.
"Sir, Dark Mantis is a high-level monster. They shouldn't be interested in ordinary things, so why not."
A middle-aged man came to the side of the man in brocade robes and reported to him in a low voice.
"How many people have died in total now?"
"Only thirty or so, and the blood is very scattered!"
"Keep letting them attack. This stone-eating beast can't even kill a hundred people. What qualifications does it have to be my mount?"
The man in brocade robes spoke in a low voice, as if he was afraid of being heard.
"Also, have the captured Taoists been delivered?
In Xuanmen, demons and beasts love the blood of humans the most. Get them here when it gets dark!
Also, there are a few Wuyou Valley disciples behind us, and they may be pregnant with us. After dark, you can think of a way..."
When the man in brocade robes said this, he wiped his neck, and the other party immediately nodded with understanding and stepped back.
Xiao Yu and others sat under the tree at the back, waiting for the hunting in the distance to end.
Because they don't want to cause trouble and cause trouble for themselves.
This swamp is where they must pass. If they go elsewhere, they will add three or four days to their trip.
From time to time, beasts roared in the distance, and human voices also came out one after another.
Next to the stone-eating beast, the ground was stained red with blood, various internal organs fell all over the ground, and a large number of mosquitoes gathered here from all sides.
There were also wounds on the stone-eating beast. A short knife was inserted directly into its back, and blood spurted out from time to time.
Suddenly, a huge black bird swooped down from the sky and blocked the sun.
"It's the monster vulture. Archers are ready."
As soon as the big bird appeared, it was noticed by everyone below, but then the forest began to commotion again.
"The show begins!"
The man in the brocade robe chuckled softly, then moved his body and retreated backwards. At the same time, he snapped his fingers, and everyone around him also retreated.
Hum...
A cow brayed, and then there was a roar, and a stone more than ten meters high was smashed into pieces.
A two-meter-tall yellow rhino walked out step by step, wagging its tail.
There is a colorful bird standing on the back of the rhinoceros, which is known as the hornbill.
But this hornbill is not ordinary, it is also a little demon who has achieved success in cultivation.
If the opponent is standing on the rhino's back, what natural enemy can hurt it?
The rhinoceros stood in the distance, looking through the reeds at the place where the stone-eating beast was, and then walked over step by step as if taking a walk.
After the rhinoceros, another leopard ran towards us at an extremely fast speed.
Sensing the approach of a monster beast, the warriors who besieged the stone-eating beast did not want to continue to struggle, but fled towards the surroundings.
"Everyone, listen, as long as you kill these monsters, you can earn one million ghost coins per person."
As soon as everyone ran away, a man's voice sounded in their ears.
Money can make the world go round, and one million soul coins is enough to keep their descendants from eating and drinking for several generations.
"Damn it, sooner or later I'll die, I worked hard today."
"That's right, I won't be able to earn one million soul coins in a few lifetimes. Even if my arms and legs are broken, I will accept it."
"Once I have the money, I can take my parents to the city to enjoy themselves. I'll do it."
Driven by money, one strong man after another stood out from the crowd.
Each of their faces showed a look of despair.
"Kill the monster, and everyone will be a superior person from now on. If unfortunately you die young, I will help you take care of your relatives."
It was that man's words again that put everyone at ease.
"I have been practicing this Tao for decades, and today I am playing a big game. At worst, I am still practicing reincarnation."
Several Taoists also joined the hunting circle.
As the sun sets in the west, the remaining rays of the sun pass through the leaves and shine colorfully on the reeds. Several monsters are approaching step by step, and the battle is about to break out!
Seeing this scene, the man in brocade robe nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand and took out a blue oil-paper umbrella.
"Ghost Hands, let's do it."
The man nodded towards the man beside him, then quickly opened the oil-paper umbrella, and the other person disappeared without a trace.
At the other end of the forest, a dozen male and female Taoists were tied together. They were all white-faced and had many scars on their bodies.
"What should I do? I'm going to die. Will I really die here?"
A Kundao looked at the sky and murmured to himself.
"I didn't expect it to be like this in the secret realm of the Ghost Tower. We were all deceived!
Now that I am in a foreign country, I cannot pass on the information."
"Don't worry, everyone. It's not the time to despair yet. We are trying to find a way to leave after dark."
A middle-aged man twisted his body, as if trying to sit up.
If Xiao Yu were here, he would definitely find that the person in front of him had actually met him several times.
Kun Dao is a disciple of Guishan, Wuchen, the junior sister of Taoist Master Qingfeng.
Since the death of her master, Taoist Sister Tianyue, and her senior brother's injury, she has been in charge of Guishan.
They were not qualified to enter this time, but they went to Mount Emei, and finally Emei was willing to bring them in.
After entering, everyone dispersed and were caught here unprepared.
Besides, this man is none other than Mu Liutian, a Taoist who Xiao Yu knows!
Although Mu Liutian is not very powerful, the other party's family has a big business and he managed to sneak in thanks to his connections.
But now that he was tied up, he could only stare.
"It would be great if Xiao Yu was here, he would definitely be able to rescue me."
