The cave floor was broken, with traces of fighting and blood, and it was clear that they had left in a hurry.
Jiang Yuebai crawled out of the cave and spread out the wind net. He felt a lot of movement. There were evil corpses and people. The winds caused by their movements were different and could be distinguished.
The noise from the four consecutive Yunlei Po attacks just now was too loud. Jiang Yuebai didn't want to get entangled with the person who came, no matter if he was a stranger from the Feather Clan or another foundation-building cultivator.
Jiang Yuebai spread his black wings and rushed into the air, then quickly left, searching the surroundings for any traces of Yu Qiuchi and the others.
After searching for more than an hour, I found nothing.
Having no trace is actually a good thing, better than finding someone's body.
During the search, Jiang Yuebai saw several teams from other sects, who were trying to return to the outpost camp while climbing over the ruins of the canyon.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuebai avoided them and left words on several important places with a knife.
[The Sanyuan Cult controls the aliens, and the outpost camp has been lost]
In the current situation, this is all she can do.
After circling back to the original cave, there were only a few scattered evil corpses around. Jiang Yuebai hid her trace, took out the secret map given to her by Li Jiuchuan, and carefully checked the area around the outpost camp.
When the outpost camp formation was activated, she found that the area behind the cliff was not covered by the formation. The formation was mainly used to defend the direction of the canyon.
Behind the cliff is a thousand-foot-high cliff with extremely steep terrain and strong winds and turbulent currents. It is the nest of the Fire-Armored Flying Centipede.
Compared to the large formation and hundreds of Feather Tribe aliens ahead, that place is actually safer. If you seize the opportunity, you will have a chance to rush to the teleportation formation.
squeak!
The wind net captured the slightest movement, and Jiang Yuebai also heard the cry of the spirit rat.
Not long after, a clever rat crawled out from the crevice of the rock and came in front of Jiang Yuebai. Jiang Yuebai felt relieved and reached out to the rat.
"Seeing you means Yunshang and the others are fine. Are you going to take me to find them?"
squeak!
The spirit rat nodded, but Jiang Yuebai hesitated and looked towards the depths of the Cang Yan land.
She had just walked to the gate of Cang Yan Land when she encountered such a mess. She was unwilling to withdraw, and she was also afraid that the secret realm would be closed or other accidents would occur.
Even the master said that the chance of finding the spiritual fire in the secret realm is very high, but it may not be so easy once you leave the secret realm.
Having made up his mind, Jiang Yuebai wrote down all the information about the outpost camp and how to leave the back of the cliff on a piece of paper, folded it up and gave it to the spirit rat to chew on.
"Give this to Yunshang."
With Yu Qiuchi's perfect foundation and Yunchang's ability to tam beasts, as long as there is no major accident, the success rate of rushing out to report the news is very high.
Jiang Yuebai collected his thoughts, left his hiding place, flapped his wings and soared into the sky.
Flying saves her a lot of time and can also help her avoid evil corpses and monsters on the ground.
Passing over the Tomb of Ten Thousand Beasts and crossing the Broken Heart Slope, Jiang Yuebai stopped above the blood-red river rolling eastward, found the location of the Blood River on the map for reference, and then headed straight for the nearest place where spiritual fire might appear.
＊
Southwest of the canyon.
Yun Chang took the note from the mouth of the spirit rat. Yu Qiuchi was treating his injuries with the help of Gu Liu, and Zheng Chong was guarding the surroundings alone.
Gu Liu lowered his voice and said, "There are more and more evil corpses around us. We can't avoid them at all. If we continue like this, we will be exhausted to death sooner or later."
Yu Qiuchi thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid they have set up an ambush in the canyon, just waiting for those of us who want to escape from the secret realm to come. For now, it's best to go around the canyon and try the cliff behind the outpost camp."
Gu Liu opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Yun Chang threw Jiang Yuebai's note over to him and whispered, "Xiaobai meant the same thing."
After reading the contents of the note, the two men secretly sighed that there was indeed an ambush.
Gu Liu asked, "But isn't that the nest of the Fire Armor Flying Centipede on that cliff?"
Yu Qiuchi held the note tightly and frowned in thought.
"I have a way." Yun Shang said in a low voice, then walked aside to reduce her presence.
"What can she do?" Gu Liu asked.
Yu Qiuchi sighed, "She does have a way, but... let's rest for another quarter of an hour before setting off."
＊
The middle part of the Tomb of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Four foundation-building disciples of Guiyuan Sword Sect were fighting and retreating, two of the men were carrying a wounded and unconscious man and woman on their backs.
There were evil corpses on three sides, roaring and attacking continuously.
Zhuo Qingfeng and Hua Yingshi protected the two people in the middle, one in front and one behind. Peach blossoms flew on Hua Yingshi's wooden sword, forming a pink streak that always surrounded the people, preventing the evil corpse from approaching.
roar!!
The four evil corpses pounced down at the same time with a force as heavy as a mountain. Hua Yingshi was caught off guard and was knocked away.
Zhuo Qingfeng's face was pale and he was panting. The four of them gathered together and were surrounded by hundreds of evil corpses.
"Senior Brother Zhuo, what should we do?" Hua Yingshi pressed the scar on her chest. The fire evil entered her body, making her face twisted in pain and her nose covered with sweat.
Zhuo Qingfeng glanced at the two senior brothers behind him who were exhausted, as well as the captain and senior sister who were injured while protecting him and Hua Yingshi, and swung his sword.
"Don't worry, I will never let anything happen to you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuo Qingfeng broke through the defenses in his heart and threw out a handful of silver beads.
Boom boom boom!
The explosions continued and the thunder and lightning crackled, instantly gathering into a silver thunder wave that engulfed a large number of evil corpses.
The evil corpse howled miserably, and Hua Yingshi and the two brothers behind him were stunned.
"Heaven...Heavenly Thunder!"
How come Zhuo Qingfeng has so many Heavenly Thunder Seeds on him
"Walk!"
Zhuo Qingfeng turned around and pulled Hua Yingshi with him, and continued to flee with everyone. When they encountered the evil corpses surrounding them again, Zhuo Qingfeng raised his hand without hesitation and used a Heavenly Thunder Blade to clear the way.
Hua Yingshi was dumbfounded, but secretly made up her mind that if she could get out alive, she would also carry some Heavenly Thunder Seeds with her. These things could save her life when her sword energy was exhausted!
But... Tianleizi is so expensive!
"Brother Zhuo, are those the monks from the Vajra Platform and the disciples from the Liuyun Sect?"
There was a golden light of Buddhism and a cool breath brought by spiritual water in the front, and a dozen people were fighting with a group of evil corpses.
Zhuo Qingfeng immediately changed direction and led everyone over to reunite.
＊
Northeast of the Bloody River is Purgatory Mountain.
Jiang Yuebai left the corpses of the Fire Scale Beasts on the ground, hurriedly hid his trace, and escaped into the cracks in the mountains.
Not long after, three black-clothed foundation-building monks arrived and saw the corpses of animals all over the ground. They immediately released the Yin ghosts from the Seven Evil Banners and searched everywhere.
Jiang Yuebai touched the formless mask hanging on his waist, simulated the breath of a monster, and continued to rush deeper into the crack.
The wounds on the body do not require any medication and are slowly recovering under the effect of the Yunzhi grass bloodline.
"It's a pity that there are so many beast souls that we don't have time to collect them all."
During these three days, Jiang Yuebai traveled all the way north and searched for two places where spiritual fire might appear, but found nothing.
The third lair of the Fire Scale Beast in Purgatory Mountain was a battle, and before she could reach the depths of the lair and see the Beast King, she discovered that the Sanyuan Sect search team was approaching.
The deeper you go into the secret realm, the more search teams there are, and the more intensive the searches become.
"What are they searching for?"
The cracks were extremely deep, the red rocks were as hot as branding irons, and the heat made it difficult to breathe.
Jiang Yuebai walked to the narrowest part. The clothes on his arms were burnt and torn, and there was no room for even one person to pass in front.
She used the wind net to probe out and found a large space about twenty feet away from the narrow passage.
The wind was howling behind me, and a ghost was coming in.
Jiang Yuebai immediately used the earth escape talisman to pass through the narrow path and stepped into the cave in the mountain. Without time to check the situation inside, he first used the Eight Formations to set up a natural maze.
After avoiding the ghost's search, Jiang Yuebai took two steps back and walked into the cave. It was pitch black inside and there was a slight smell of blood, but it was much cooler than outside.
Jiang Yuebai squinted his eyes and walked carefully to the deepest part. Suddenly, he saw a female cultivator covered in blood leaning against the corner with her eyes closed, but still breathing.
Seeing the face beneath the blood, Jiang Yuebai opened his eyes wide and took a breath.
Zhao Fuyi!
Jiang Yuebai staggered back, his whole body tense, then turned stiffly, left the cave, pretending he saw nothing.
After just a few breaths, Jiang Yuebai returned to the cave.
Zhao Fuyi's eyelids moved slightly and a hoarse sound came from his throat.
"Back again... what are you doing..."
She had already noticed Jiang Yuebai, but she didn't have the energy to do anything, nor did she want to... ask for help.
Jiang Yuebai held a medicine bottle in his hand and laughed viciously.
"If I don't kill you to silence you, what will you do if you tell others that I didn't help a dying man?"
Zhao Fuyi moved her fingers slightly and forced herself to raise her head.
Jiang Yuebai rushed to Zhao Fuyi and stuffed a pill into her mouth without saying a word.
"Master Fuyi, I didn't expect that there would be a day when you would be so weak that you could only let me do whatever I wanted."
