Everything seemed normal. Chu Qing found nothing and was a little disappointed. Just when he turned around and was about to leave, Chu Qing suddenly realized something.
There is something strange about the clothes on this woman. What she wears is not sportswear or tights, but a skirt, not an ordinary skirt.
It is a very retro, palace-style skirt. Apart from seeing it on TV, almost no one wears this kind of skirt. Anyone who wears such a dress on the street will definitely be noticed. mocking.
Chu Qing almost ignored this problem that should have been obvious at a glance. This was because Chu Qing had seen many women wearing this kind of clothing. When he was in the world of cultivation, almost every female cultivator was dressed like this.
So Chu Qing didn't react at first, but now he saw something was wrong. Chu Qing thought, could this woman be from a certain cultivation sect? But at this damn time, men can't practice martial arts, and women can't practice Taoism. This is something Chu Qing has personally verified. The facts cannot be false.
There were many doubts, and the clues Chu Qing got were limited, so he couldn't draw any conclusions yet. Keeping these things in mind, Chu Qing returned to the place where everyone was resting.
He told everyone what he saw and heard in detail. After he finished speaking, Gong Shu's eyes changed several times. Chu Qing thought she knew something and expected her to tell her. But in the end, Gong Shu was silent. Not a word was said.
And because Gong Shu attracted Chu Qing's gaze, Chu Qing didn't notice that Meng Zui's reaction was no smaller than Gong Shu's after listening to it. Her reaction was not the surprise or confusion of others.
Instead, she felt guilty and confused. Her fingertips trembled slightly, as if she had thought of something bad, but she was trying her best to hide it and didn't let others see any clues.
Everyone gathered around this matter and didn't discuss any results. In addition, it was getting dark, so everyone went back to their tents to rest.
After the meeting ended, Chu Qing found Gong Shu and asked directly: "Do you know anything?"
Gong Shu lowered her head. She was hesitating. After a moment, she raised her head and said to Chu Qing: "I know a little bit, but it is of no use to our current situation, and I can't say anything."
"These people, just pretend they don't exist. We can do whatever we need to do. Even if we meet them, just treat them like ordinary people. Don't think too much."
Gong Shu kept his secrets secretly, which aroused Chu Qing's curiosity. As Gong Shu, what else could he not say? But Chu Qing could also see that Gong Shu did not lie to him, so there was a lot to do in this matter.
Gong Shu didn't say anything, and Chu Qing didn't force him. He went back alone to rest and think about what happened today. What should they do if they meet these people? Let's not offend each other, let's fight each other first.
These problems were imminent, and Chu Qing had to consider that Chu Qing and Gong Shu would take turns on duty at night. In such a dangerous place, carelessness would lead to death, so it was always right to be cautious.
Also on this night, at the place where the woman's body was that Chu Qing had gone to, more than a dozen women in the same dress gathered one after another overnight. Each of these women were warriors, with varying degrees of strength.
The leader was a veiled woman, even a warrior who had just entered the transformation realm, which was equivalent to Gong Shu's realm, but she was definitely much older than Gong Shu, maybe forty or fifty years old.
Even so, this person, who is considered a master in the entire empire and is rarely seen in normal times, appears in such a deserted forest. Does anyone believe that she is just out for a walk
As for the women under her, their strength ranged from martial arts to martial arts, and the one who died was considered to be of low cultivation. This group of people gathered around, checked the bodies of their companions, poured gasoline on them, and set them on fire. Burned.
Then they gathered together, discussed something, and then dispersed and disappeared into the mountains.
That night, Chu Qing and the others did not encounter this group of people, so they did not encounter any danger. The next day, everyone was on their way as usual, but this time, they encountered many more traps than before. .
In just half a day, Chu Qing and the others encountered three different traps one after another, which slowed down their progress, and everyone's expressions became more and more solemn.
The traps are getting denser and denser. What does this mean? This shows that they are almost reaching the core area where the two groups are committed. The battle between the two parties is nothing more than an attack and a defense. Judging from the current situation.
The one who laid the trap is the defender, and the other group is the attacker, and the attack naturally has to have a target, so the defender has a place in this mountain forest that she has to go to, or it is her home.
Now Chu Qing and the others should have arrived at her door, so they encountered so many traps, and this place should also be a place frequented by another group of people.
But Chu Qing and the others were heading towards the Dragon's Nest, but they ended up here. Could it be that the side they were guarding was in the same direction as the Dragon's Nest, or maybe they were related to the Dragon's Nest.
Chu Qing thought in his mind that things were getting more and more complicated. A strange bird chirping sounded in everyone's ears. The next moment, the branches of the trees around Chu Qing and the others suddenly grew longer and stabbed towards Chu Qing and the others. .
This speed and hardness are many times more powerful than the traps in the forest. Not only that, the flowers, plants and vines under everyone's feet also seem to be alive, entangled towards Chu Qing and others.
Zhai Yu and Ye Chenxi had never seen this kind of scene before. Their faces were full of panic. People always have an inexplicable fear of unknown things. For Chu Qing, this was simply too familiar.
Moreover, Mengzui and Gong Shu must have seen it before. This was not a martial skill, but a spell, a wood-attribute spell. Chu Qing took a step forward, and golden ripples appeared under his feet.
It was transformed by Chu Qing's spiritual energy. Wherever the golden ripples covered, all the flowers, plants and vines turned into powder, and the branches extending from the tops of everyone's heads were also shattered.
The next moment Chu Qing exchanged glances with Gong Shu, his toes touched the ground, and his whole body rushed out like an arrow from a string. He was not going straight ahead, but upward.
Chu Qing is much better at fighting monks than fighting warriors. Warriors tend to have strong physiques and are good at close combat, but monks are different. The spells they rely on are physically weak but have a long attack range, so they usually have to fight before taking action. Hide your figure well.
Monks who know wood-attribute magic often like to hide themselves in the canopy of trees. Chu Qing spread his spiritual consciousness, stretched out his hand and pulled out the rusty sword, and used force back and forth on the tree. After a few twists and turns, he rushed forward dozens of meters.
There was no one around in the woods, but Chu Qing was sure that the person must be here. However, her stealth skills were very good, and she had become one with the tree again.
Wood Escape Technique is also a technique that can temporarily integrate a person into a tree and become one with the tree. Chu Qing's consciousness spread all over his body for tens of meters, sweeping from every corner of the dense forest.
Twice, and when Chu Qing scanned it for the fourth time, he found a weak spell fluctuation on a tree. A knowing smile appeared on the corner of Chu Qing's mouth, and he said to that side: "I don't know who my friend is, and why he suddenly killed us and others for no reason. Please come out and see him."
Chu Qing was polite first and then fought. He didn't want to make enemies for no reason and cause trouble that he wouldn't otherwise have caused. As a result, no one answered, and Chu Qing seemed to be talking to the air.
He could understand this. He probably thought that he was deceiving her, so he kept silent. In this case, Chu Qing pointed out her hiding place.
He stepped forward with his sword, came to a place three steps away from the tree, and said directly to the tree: "Fellow Taoist, don't you want to come out and see me?"
