In the dark valley, the wind howled and the sound of ghosts and wolves howling was creepy.
A large group of vampire bats the size of babies flew out of the mountains, covering the sky and the sun, and frantically attacked the people gathered below.
There were constant cries and screams. Some people were dragged into the air by the sharp claws of bats, and immediately a large group of bats flew over and tore the people to pieces.
Blood rained down. The old, weak, women and children hid under the carts, tightly protecting the young children in their arms. The young and strong men and women in the Qi training period brandished their swords and fought bloody battles with the blood bats.
The blood bats could not be killed, but they suffered heavy casualties.
At this moment, the solemn melody broke everything, the leaves danced wildly, and turned into sharp blades in the sky that killed into the group of bats.
Cold rays of light shot out, blood flashed, and vampire bats fell in large numbers. A life-and-death crisis was resolved in an instant.
The sturdy man leading the team put down the bloody sword in his hand and turned around, and saw the female cultivator in green standing on the tree with a flute under her lips.
The moon was bright in the sky, and the female cultivator's skirt was slightly lifted. The solemn song turned into a gentle melody, blowing on everyone with the breeze.
The injured healed quickly and the frightened children calmed down quickly.
Everyone was in an uproar, looking at the newcomer warily, until they saw the two black Ganoderma lucidum above her head and the dog-eared man with his arms folded under the tree, then they let down their guard a little.
The sturdy man in the lead looked at the woman beside him, and the two of them walked towards Jiang Yuebai and Xie Jingshan together.
"My name is Feng Lie, and this is my wife Feng Su. Thank you two seniors for your help. I wonder who you two seniors are..."
This time, before Jiang Yuebai jumped down from the tree, Xie Jingshan hurriedly said, "We brothers and sisters escaped back from the Central Plains."
After saying that, he turned and looked at Jiang Yuebai with a slightly raised eyebrow.
"Brother and sister?" Feng Su glanced at the two of them in confusion.
Jiang Yuebai jumped down from the tree and glanced at the two people. Feng Lie and Feng Su were husband and wife, but their hooves on the lower body were different. Both of them had reached the eighth level of Qi training.
"We met on the way back from escaping, and we call each other brother and sister, right, Brother Gou?"
Xie Jingshan's eyes widened. Who is that dog? He is obviously a wolf!
Jiang Yuebai continued, "We also heard about the name of the Lord of Fufeng Mountain, so we came here to seek refuge. We heard the elders in the village say that you were going to Tieyu Country, so we followed you."
Feng Su looked at the two of them carefully and nodded slightly to Feng Lie.
Feng Lie looked generous and said with a smile, "I wonder if the two seniors are willing to come with us. The situation everywhere has been very turbulent recently. We know a relatively safe way to reach Siyu Mountain."
Feng Su hurriedly said, "If the two seniors are willing, we can give them spirit stones to thank them."
Jiang Yuebai and Xie Jingshan looked at each other, and Xie Jingshan signaled with his eyes that Jiang Yuebai should make the decision.
"We have an appointment with a few friends in Lishan City. Before that, it would be okay for us to travel together."
Jiang Yuebai didn't say anything definite and would react accordingly depending on the situation along the way.
Feng Lie made a gesture of invitation, and Jiang Yuebai and Xie Jingshan followed them back to the main group.
There were more than a hundred of them, mostly elderly people, women and children. The couple Feng Lie and Feng Su had the highest cultivation level. Among the rest, excluding the dead, there were only thirteen people in the middle stage of Qi training.
Feng Lie shouted and directed everyone to clean up the mess and reorganize the team.
Feng Su accompanied Jiang Yuebai and Xie Jingshan, and asked carefully, "Have you two seniors ever visited your hometown?"
Jiang Yuebai answered naturally, "My memory of Qingteng Country has long been vague, and so has he. He can't even remember which direction Yelang Country is in. We were both sold to the White Waters when we were very young and became slaves of the immortal cultivation families."
When the white water area was mentioned, Xie Jingshan on the side keenly noticed that a woman in a tattered cloak with a child in the crowd suddenly trembled.
Feng Su looked at the faces of Jiang Yuebai and Xie Jingshan.
Jiang Yuebai said, "We had already removed the tattoo on your face on the way back. I used medicine, so it shouldn't be visible now."
"Please don't blame me, senior. The situation is really turbulent. Many human cultivators took advantage of the chaos to kidnap people. You see, we have children with us, so we have to be more cautious."
Jiang Yuebai glanced at the alien children curled up in their mothers' arms and frowned, "I understand. I was also sold into slavery at this age."
Feng Su saw the sadness in Jiang Yuebai's eyes and basically let down her guard against her. She said something and went to help the others clean up.
Jiang Yuebai turned her head and found that Xie Jingshan was staring at a graceful woman who was sitting on a rock beside the road. She was wearing a rag cloak and had a graceful figure.
The woman was holding a child in her arms, who was also covered by a cloak and looked to be about six or seven years old.
Xie Jingshan was so fascinated by the scene that the big furry tail behind him hung on the ground and swayed slowly from side to side.
Jiang Yuebai became furious and reached out to pull Xie Jingshan's tail.
"What are you looking at so fascinated?"
Xie Jingshan felt numb from his tail to the top of his head in an instant. He shuddered and turned around, raising his hand to cover Jiang Yuebai's mouth.
Jiang Yuebai stepped back and watched Xie Jingshan wink at her.
Jindan cultivators can transmit secret sounds, Jiang Yuebai tried it and said, "Use your consciousness to condense your voice into a line and transmit it to me. Just say what you want to say."
Xie Jingshan realized it later and quickly sent a message, "Don't look over there, don't alert the enemy, we have seen that woman before."
Jiang Yuebai pretended to glance around. The woman looked like she was in the middle to late stage of Qi training, so her face was not clear.
However, when she glanced over just now, she found that neither she nor the child in her arms had hooves on their feet, which meant that they were not aliens from the Fengti Kingdom.
"who is she?"
Xie Jingshan pulled out a blade of grass and held it in his mouth, transmitting his voice, "She and the child both changed their appearance, but they couldn't hide from my Fiery Hundred Forging eyes. She and the child are both fox aliens. When you mentioned the white water area just now, she reacted strongly and was very scared. Guess where we have seen her before."
Jiang Yuebai thought carefully about the fox creatures he had seen in the Baishui area. The one that left the most impression on him was the beautiful fox that Fang Mingyi had kept in his golden house and that he had seen in the suburbs on the day they went to put Fang Mingyi into a sack.
Jiang Yuebai opened his eyes in shock, "Fang Mingyi's lover? Then who is the child in her arms?"
Xie Jingshan nodded, "He looks exactly like Fang Mingyi's grandson when he was a child, but that child is indeed an alien, with fox ears and a tail."
It has been almost seven or eight years since the end of Fengyunhui, and the child looks to be about six or seven years old, so the time period is right.
It's really unexpected that after three generations of the Fang family were wiped out, there is still such a lone heir alive. If he were not an extraordinary person, I'm afraid those old guys in the Fang family would immediately worship him.
But he is an alien, which is a shame to the Fang family. If the Fang family knew of his existence, they would never let him survive.
Jiang Yuebai told Xie Jingshan, "This matter has nothing to do with us. Business matters are more important. Stay out of it."
Xie Jingshan said, "I know that the one who has a grudge against me is Fang Mingyi. I won't attack an innocent child. I'm just afraid that someone will follow them and kill them, which will implicate this group of aliens and us."
"Two seniors, we can set off now."
Feng Lie shouted from the front, and the whole team has been organized.
"There are many checkpoints along the way. Let's follow them first and then separate when we reach the mountain city."
Jiang Yuebai transmitted the message and Xie Jingshan nodded.
I have completed two updates today. After the weekend, I will continue to update next Monday to make up for the lost time!
