"Uncle San, I just checked and Zhao Xilan and the other four are no longer there. Did they leave?"
Zhao Zihu was eager to catch Zhao Xilan to show his ability, so he paid close attention to the movements not far away.
Zhao Santong shook his head and said, "I don't know either. But even if they really left, they can't escape. So, you two stay here first and don't walk around. I'll go over and see if they really left. This time, we must not let Zhao Xilan go."
But just after Zhao San finished speaking, his brows frowned again.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing his father Zhao Santong's expression change, Zhao Zilong asked in confusion.
Zhao Santong quickly made a shushing gesture and said, "Shh! Keep your voices down. I think I heard some noise. It seems like something is running towards us."
After hearing what Zhao Santong said, Zhao Zilong and Zhao Zihu immediately shut up and stopped talking.
Soon the sounds reached their ears.
They didn't know that it was the sound of the hairy monster running.
"Damn it! There really was a sound. And it sounded like a lot of living creatures were running towards us." Zhao Santong said in a low voice.
Zhao Zihu was a little timid, so he lowered his voice and asked Zhao Santong, "Uncle San, there really is a living creature running towards us! What should we do? Could it be a large wild beast?"
Zhao Santong thought about it, shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be. If it was a large wild animal, it wouldn't be on the tree. I think it should be a monkey or something like that, otherwise the branches wouldn't be rustling."
Zhao Zilong and Zhao Zihu thought about it and both felt that what Zhao Santong said was right.
However, they still looked towards the direction where the sound came from with some worry.
"Uncle San, what should we do? The sound is getting closer! I think we should leave this place first. I always feel like something is wrong."
Zhao Zihu said uneasily. He might have forgotten that he had just vowed to catch Zhao Xilan.
Zhao Santong said unhappily, "We can't leave here yet. What if we leave and are discovered by that cunning Zhao Xilan and the others? Besides, they are just some animals in the forest, monkeys or something like that. They won't hurt us at all."
"Well, both of you come over here, we'll hide next to the tree and see what kind of animal is coming. If that doesn't work, we can just climb up the tree."
Zhao Zihu and Zhao Zilong obediently stood next to Zhao Santong.
Their bodies were pressed tightly against the trunks of the trees.
Zhao Santong was fine, after all, he was old and calm. But Zhao Zihu and Zhao Zilong were only in their twenties, and they both had uneasy looks on their faces.
Soon, the sound was getting closer and closer.
But the vegetation in the woods was so lush that Zhao Santong only heard the sound but could not see what kind of animal was running towards him.
Zhao Zihu timidly pulled Zhao Zilong's sleeve.
Zhao Zilong glanced at Zhao Zihu with some disgust.
Now let me talk about my side.
Seeing that the hairy monsters were attracted by me and there were quite a few of them, I hurried through the woods.
Fortunately, I have just surveyed the surrounding environment, so I can determine the location of the Zhao family.
In addition, I used the Seven Stars Steps, which consumed a lot of Yin De Qi, but my speed was very fast. Therefore, when I stopped to catch my breath, even if I was off track, I could still
Correct in time.
I thought to myself, this time, I will lure these hairy monsters over to the Zhao family, and they will be in big trouble!
As the destination was just around the corner, I felt excited.
I deliberately stopped to get closer to the hairy monster.
After being more than 20 meters away, I began to circulate the Yin De Qi and continued to walk through the woods using the Seven Star Steps.
What surprised me was that when those hairy monsters were about to catch up with me, in addition to the "uh uh!" sounds made by the hairy monsters, which were like wild beasts, I seemed to hear some talking.
There seemed to be a monster among the hairy monsters behind me talking, something like - "Catch him!"
Although the voice was obscure, the words were simple, and the pitch was not very accurate.
But I still heard it clearly.
I couldn't help but frown, thinking, could it be that some of those hairy monsters can speak Chinese? If monsters can speak Chinese, that would be incredible.
But then I thought about it and felt that maybe I heard it wrong, so I didn’t pay too much attention to it.
But now a problem arises. Those hairy monsters behind me are making such a big noise, I hope those members of the Zhao family won't run away.
Later, I thought that it was impossible, after all, they were coming for Zhao Xilan. If they didn't catch Zhao Xilan, they wouldn't leave here.
The best outcome now is that those members of the Zhao family are still staying where they are.
I quickened my pace again.
I can already see the big tree ahead.
That's where the Zhao family is.
Soon, I rushed to the tree. Without stopping, I ran straight past the tree.
When I ran over, I looked up and saw that the three members of the Zhao family were still there.
This made me feel secretly happy.
At the same time, Zhao Santong and his two nephews had already seen me.
"It's you!"
Zhao Santong said with some surprise when he saw me.
I tilted my head and smiled at him, saying, "Yes, it's me!"
Afterwards, I ignored Zhao Santong, turned around and rushed into the dense forest.
After rushing into the dense forest, I didn't continue running, but found a tall tree and climbed up quickly.
At this time, Zhao Santong also realized that something was wrong. He turned around and said to Zhao Zilong and Zhao Zihu, "No, no, that guy is a ghost-catching Taoist priest. He has good pace. How could he be chased by a few monkeys? Something must have happened."
At this time, the sound of the hairy monster chasing me from behind was getting louder and louder.
Zhao Santong hurriedly looked back.
When he saw those hairy monsters, his eyes widened.
"Damn it, what the hell are those things? ... They look like humans, but they're walking on their hands like wild animals! Oh no, Zilong, Zihu, we have to run!"
Zhao Santong realized the danger and hurriedly urged Zhao Zilong and Zhao Zihu to leave.
But it was too late, those hairy monsters were very fast.
In just a few seconds, they rushed to Zhao Santong, Zhao Zilong and Zhao Zihu.
The three of them thought that the hairy monsters wouldn't notice them, but unexpectedly, there were more than twenty of them.
Finally, Zhao Santong and his two companions were discovered by the hairy monster!
I was standing on a tall tree, looking at the scene in the distance.
The hairy monsters were also surprised when they found Zhao Santong and the others, but they reacted quickly and surrounded Zhao Santong and the other two.
Then those hairy monsters started to bite Zhao Santong and others like wild wolves.
Zhao Santong and others did not hesitate either. They quickly mobilized the good energy in their bodies and started to deal with those hairy monsters.
From time to time, talismans for attacking ghosts were thrown out in a hurry.
I even noticed that the two younger members of the Zhao family actually released a few ghosts.
You know, ghosts usually don't appear during the day. But the woods are dense and a bit dark, so it's okay to release the ghosts, and it won't cause much harm to the ghosts.
With the addition of the ghost, the pressure between Zhao Santong and the other two was reduced a lot.
From time to time, one or two hairy monsters would fall to the ground and bleed to death.
That scene was really tragic.
However, the hairy monster was not vague either. Knowing that it could not bite the other party, it actually started picking up stones on the ground and threw them at the ghosts and the three people including Zhao Santong.
Although the ghosts were not afraid of the hairy monster, they were still disturbed by the stones that the hairy monster kept throwing.
Even though I was so far away, I could still hear the panicked voices of the Zhao family.
The two younger brothers of Zhao Xilan's uncle were in a state of panic. Their cultivation was not high and they could not activate many talismans.
Soon, the good energy in them began to run out.
"Hurry up! We have to get out of here! These monsters are increasing in number!"
It was the voice of Zhao Xilan's third uncle.
I also noticed that the number of those hairy monsters is actually increasing.
In other words, a lot of hairy monsters have rushed over from the Soul Burial Valley.
"ah!"
Zhao Zilong cried out in pain as one of his legs was bitten by a hairy monster.
With a "bang", Zhao Zilong raised his foot and kicked the hairy monster hard on the head.
After several kicks, the hairy monster finally opened its mouth.
But from my angle, I could see that a large piece of flesh on the boy's thigh had been torn off by the hairy monster's teeth.
The skin was turned over, revealing the white, prickly bones.
"Uncle San, my Yin De Qi is exhausted! I'm injured, please save me quickly!"
Zhao Zihu covered his thigh and screamed in pain.
When Zhao Zilong saw that his second uncle's younger brother Zhao Zihu was injured, a timid expression appeared on his face.
He wanted to save Zhao Zihu, but unexpectedly, Zhao Santong, who was standing next to him, grabbed Zhao Zilong.
"Zilong, don't go over there! Those monsters are too ferocious. If you go over there, you will get hurt." Zhao Santong said anxiously.
Zhao Zilong panted and said nervously, "But Dad, my brother Zihu is still over there."
Zhao Santong did not let go of Zhao Zilong's hand and said in a deep voice: "We can't care so much now. There are too many monsters. The ghosts we control can't kill them all in a short time. We must leave here first."
"But, Dad, my brother Zihu..."
Zhao Santong snorted coldly and said, "Brother Zihu, didn't you see that he was injured? Do you think we can get away with a burden? Well, stop talking. Come with me quickly. Otherwise, you won't survive."
As he spoke, Zhao Santong pulled Zhao Zilong and, under the cover of several ghosts, rushed into the woods.
When Zhao Zihu saw Zhao Santong and Zhao Zihu leaving, an expression of despair appeared in his eyes.
He shouted loudly: "Uncle San, Brother Zilong, you can't abandon me. I am no match for these monsters. Please save me..."
But Zhao Santong and Zhao Zilong didn't even look back.
