Mu Yu and the others walked slowly among the woods for about an hour, and finally walked out of this surprisingly quiet dense forest.
Hao Yingjun complained all the way because he was huge and the branches around him were crisscrossed, so he would always be scratched by the branches. But no one sympathized with him, including his sister.
"Hongyan, look, my skin has been scratched." Hao Yingjun pointed pitifully at the scratches on his arm.
"You, a cultivator, still get scratched? How shameful!"
Hongyan glanced at Hao Yingjun, and then walked towards the stream. Outside the woods is a small stream. The water is very clear. Smooth pebbles of different sizes sink to the bottom of the water. There are also some water plants floating gently.
Everyone filled their water bottles with spiritual power, and the stream flowed through the deep forest, heading to nowhere. There are still dense woods on the other side of the creek. The surrounding area is covered by woods. If you don't fly up to the sky, you may get lost if you go too deep.
Mu Yu sat on a big rock next to the stream and saw that the sky was approaching dusk. He must not be able to move forward. Cheng Yan was falling from the sky. He had just checked the situation from above and found nothing unusual. Except for the fact that he could not see the flocks of birds flying around in the forest, everything else was normal.
"Do we really want to stay in this forest for ten days?" Hongyan threw a few pebbles in his hand, feeling a little uneasy.
"Junior sister Hongyan, don't worry. Senior brother, can you tell me a joke to relieve your boredom? Once upon a time, there was a fat man..." Hao Yingjun always came over at inappropriate times.
"No, no, you're just a joke." Hongyan waved his hand.
"Will Junior Sister Hongyan laugh when she looks at me? That's great. Junior Sister Hongyan can look at me every day for these ten days!" Hao Yingjun also picked up a few pebbles and threw them up like Hongyan. Down.
Mu Yu looked at these two noisy guys and felt funny in his heart. At least with this damn fat man here, this journey won't be too lonely. They came here to look for the Yumon Demon Clan that they didn't know existed, but there were no clues at all.
The only clue is what Taoist Qingsong said. A hunter went into the mountains to hunt, saw the Yumeng demon tribe, and was rescued by a young man in red.
The young man in red!
Mu Yu was shocked. He remembered the young man in red who saved people when he went to Qingsong Sect on the first day. Qingsong Taoist talked about it. Because no one knew who it was, everyone didn't go into details.
But that night, Mu Yu saw that the man who forced Taoist Qingsong to submit was also a young man in red. Could these two people be the same person
If it was the same person, then why did the young man in red who was saving people appear in this deep mountain? If he was so kind to save people, why did he force Taoist Qingsong into slavery
If it's not the same person, it would be too much of a coincidence, right? How many men in the world of cultivation would wear red clothes and run around so conspicuously
But no matter what, Mu Yu would not be wrong about one thing. This young man in red came here for Jian Ying Chenfeng. He controlled Taoist Qingsong just to find someone conveniently. With his energy alone, even if he cultivated to the sky, he would still be able to find someone. It is impossible to completely search the entire Moyun Mountains.
I don’t know if he is still in the Qingsong Sect at this moment, so has Taoist Qingsong entered the Nascent Soul stage
Mu Yu couldn't help but worry about his master. His master was no longer Jian Ying Chenfeng. His cultivation level was only at the golden elixir stage. If the young man in red knew about it, it would be a disaster, and Mo Yun Mountains might not have it. People will be the opponents of this young man in red.
The only thing that made Mu Yu feel at ease was that the master should have returned to Luochen Mountain.
"Let's spend the night here! We can move on tomorrow morning," Chengyan said.
Everyone had no objection, Hao Yingjun was pestering Hongyan, and Xueer was sitting not far away from Gu Yitian, making love. Unfortunately, Gu Yitian didn't even raise his eyelids, looking cold and distant. Gu Yitian was the only one who didn't speak along the way. He didn't like talking and preferred to fight.
Chengyan went to pick up a pile of dead branches and came back. The sky quickly darkened and they lit a fire.
"You said, if we make a fire here, what will we do if the Huo Yumeng Demon Clan comes?" Hongyan asked.
"It would be better if we came. We are originally here to find the Yumeng Demon Clan." Hao Yingjun picked up the dead branches and threw them into the fire.
Everyone was sitting around the fire, and it was still very quiet. There was no other sound, only the "chicking" sound of the flames burning dead branches.
"In this damn place, you can't even beat an animal to fill your stomach." Xueer took a bite of dry food, which no one liked. She originally planned to hunt some wild beasts to roast them, but she didn't find a single living creature in the huge forest, which was really strange.
"Let's hold on for a while! We will take turns to stay on duty tonight, two people in a group, and the others will rest first." Chengyan suggested.
"Then I want to team up with Junior Sister Hongyan." Hao Yingjun said impatiently.
"Bah, who wants to be in a group with you?" Hongyan scolded.
"Well, it's okay if you don't join me. I can watch Junior Sister Hongyan sleep." Hao Yingjun spread his hands.
Hongyan's face changed. She really wanted to beat this fat man, but she actually came up with such an idea. Thinking about staying up late with the fat man, you will definitely be pestered to death by him. If you don't stay up late with the fat man, it will be very weird to be watched by the fat man while sleeping. In the end, I could only scold the fat man a few times, and reluctantly chose to stay vigil with the fat man. It was better to be pestered than to be watched by him falling asleep.
"Then I'll be with Senior Brother Gu Yitian. You Luochen faction should work in pairs!" Xue'er said immediately.
"It's best not to be together among people from the same sect. You still need to be vigilant." Gu Yitian said lightly. It would not be a fun thing for other sects to stay vigil with people from the same sect, in case there is any evil intention.
"Really? Well, separate each sect as you wish. But have you ever thought about it, if Fatty is paired with Senior Sister Hongyan, if Fatty has ulterior motives, Senior Sister Hongyan can be his opponent? You and Xue'er will be paired together, You want to attack Xue'er, is Xue'er your opponent?" Mu Yu replied coldly, Gu Yitian's words clearly meant that he didn't trust them.
"Hey, little brother Muyu, what are you talking about? How could I hurt sister Hongyan?" the fat man said unhappily.
Chengyan said: "Okay, everyone is here for the same purpose. Trust is the most important thing. There is no need to doubt each other. The purpose of working in pairs is to give everyone more rest time. Since you have concerns , then let’s work in groups of three, me, Xueer and you, and Muyu and two of them.”
Gu Yitian snorted and said nothing.
Muyu and the other three stayed on duty for half the night, and the other three quickly closed their eyes and rested. Hao Yingjun stopped talking to Hongyan when he saw that everyone else was resting. In fact, he was the one doing most of the talking, and Hongyan didn't pay much attention to him.
Looking at the sky, a crescent moon hung there. The weather was very clear and I could see the stars all over the sky. The surroundings were too quiet, not even the chirping of crickets. Occasionally, I could hear the wind rustling through the branches and leaves.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and suddenly there were some slight insects chirping around. At first, Mu Yu didn't notice it, but soon Mu Yu even heard the faint chirping of birds! I didn't hear these sounds during the day, so why did they appear at night
Not only that, Mu Yu also smelled the smell, which was getting stronger and stronger, but he really couldn't remember when he smelled it. He also smelled it during the day, but he just asked other people, and they didn't smell it. He just thought he was delusional.
"Have you noticed that there seem to be more noises around you?" Hongyan asked in a low voice.
Mu Yu and Hao Yingjun both nodded in agreement. They glanced at each other and saw a trace of confusion in each other's eyes.
"How about going to the woods and taking a look?" Hao Yingjun suggested.
"No, the woods are too dark and unsafe." Mu Yu shook his head, but he slowly walked to a tree by the creek, leaned against the tree, and sunk his consciousness into the trees.
A snake crawled across the fifth treetop behind Mu Yu, staring motionlessly at a magpie on the treetop in front of him. The magpie was standing on the branch and chirping happily, unaware of the danger coming. A squirrel came out of nowhere and jumped around in the bushes.
Two spiders crawled quickly among the leaves and began to spin webs. A rabbit jumped out, gnawed the grass on the ground twice, and suddenly ran away. A leopard lurking in the grass chased after it, and then there was a swooping sound in the woods.
Mu Yu opened his eyes, a little unbelievable, what happened to these animals? Why do they suddenly come out at night? Why did their living habits suddenly change? It's so dark at night, aren't they affected
"It's a little weird. The beasts, insects and birds that are invisible in the woods during the day seem to appear at night." Mu Yu left the tree, walked back to the fire, and said softly.
"What? Why do they go out at night? Where do they go during the day?" Hongyan asked in surprise.
Mu Yu shook his head. During the day, he used tree sensing and found no trace of these insects, birds and beasts. On the contrary, they all ran out after nightfall. What changed the habits of these animals
"Is that a tiger's roar?"
Hao Yingjun raised his eyebrows, and everyone listened attentively. Sure enough, they heard the roar of tigers coming from the woods in the distance. It was extremely powerful and seemed to come from the woods across the creek.
Hongyan shrank back, her face flushed, then she stood up and looked around.
"What's wrong?" Mu Yu asked.
"I'm going to make it easier." Hongyan said.
"It's so dark, let me go with you!" Hao Yingjun stood up and patted his chest very manly.
"Get out!" Hongyan walked behind a tree without looking back. "You will be dead if you dare to follow me."
Hao Yingjun scratched his head: "Then hurry up. How about I wake up Xue'er and accompany you?"
"Stop worrying so blindly, let me ask you, how much do you know about the young man in red who saved the hunter?" Mu Yu asked.
Hao Yingjun thought for a while and then said: "I don't know, who came here after eating enough to hold up, and happened to save that mortal. In fact, relying on that mortal's words alone is not convincing at all. We disciples I just came here to mean it, but those elders didn’t believe that there were Yumeng demons here at all.
But after coming here, I saw that this place is a bit weird, and now I can't make a conclusion. It is said that the young man in red took the hunter directly out of the mountain and then disappeared. "
"Have you heard the description of that hunter?" Mu Yu asked curiously.
"My father told me that if I hadn't seen the Yumen Demon Clan with my own eyes, it would be difficult to describe the Yumen Demon Clan so realistically, including their voice, appearance, and methods of casting spells, as well as the details about the Mu Yumen Demon Clan and the fire There is no need for these mortals to make up the dialogue between the Yumon demons, and they do not dare to deceive us."
After all, Father Hao Yingjun is an elder of the Wuyan Sect, one of the four major sects, so it is normal for him to know a lot.
"The Yumon Demon Tribe was defeated by us humans seventy or eighty years ago. Where did they go after that?"
Mu Yu found that he knew very little about the Yumon Demon Clan. Next time he went back, he must ask his master more about how he could say that he had the abilities of the Mu Yumen Demon Clan inexplicably, but he didn’t understand the Yumen Demon Clan at all. Doesn't it look ridiculous
"It is said that they are almost extinct. I don't know where they are going. The ancient scroll records seem to say that the five bosses of the Yumon Demon Clan were sealed by powerful people in the human race. Then the small Yumon Demon Clan was leaderless and was in chaos. It was defeated and most of them were defeated. After being eliminated, some remnants fled into places that are difficult for humans to enter, such as on the vast sea, in scorching volcanoes, and in the dark underground."
Hao Yingjun grew up in the sect, and his father was an elder of the sect. He usually read a lot of ancient scrolls in the sect. Although he looked carefree, he actually knew a lot of things.
But at this moment—
"ah-"
Hongyan's scream suddenly sounded, and the expressions of both Mu Yu and Hao Yingjun changed. Something seems to have happened to Hongyan! Hao Yingjun had already rushed over reflexively.
