Chapter 97: The Demonic Beast
In the cave, everyone encountered several forks in the road, and they all followed Yan Ruyu who was walking in front.
Because Duan Qing was walking in the middle and rear of the team, he could only follow the team silently and did not dare to take other side roads without authorization.
This feeling of resignation made him very uncomfortable, and he even regretted choosing to go with the others. If he went alone, he could at least decide how to choose. But now, he completely pinned his hope of escape on Yan Ruyu in front of him.
Fortunately, he didn't encounter any danger along the way, and the monster Duan Qing had been worried about never showed up.
After walking for about half an hour, Duan Qing heard a sudden commotion from the team in front. His heart tightened, and he clenched the flying sword in his hand, preparing to look ahead.
Seeing this, the four people from Luofeng Valley who were walking behind him also put on a posture to defend themselves against the enemy.
But the strange thing is that the crowd in front did not stop or go back, but accelerated forward and someone shouted at the same time.
"Exit, there is an exit ahead!"
Duan Qing's face lit up with joy when he heard this, and he rushed forward with the crowd. After walking a few steps and turning a corner, he saw that there was indeed a faint light ahead.
He was immediately overjoyed and quickly walked out of the cave along with the excited crowd. Only then did he realize that everyone was on the middle of the mountain. Judging from the terrain, it should be on the other side of the mountain.
Everyone was very excited when they came out of the cave, especially a group of women from the Biyu Sect who kept talking around Yan Ruyu.
Duan Qing looked at Yan Ruyu not far away, but felt something was wrong in his heart.
Ever since entering Yongling Valley, things that seemed easy, such as finding the Mortal Transformation Grass, turned out to be extremely difficult.
But this time I accidentally entered the monster's lair. I thought it would be difficult to escape safely, but I came out so easily.
He felt as if there was a pair of invisible hands controlling everything behind his back!
Everyone did not dare to stay at the entrance of the cave for too long, so they wanted to climb over the mountain and go back to the second floor directly. However, after walking for a while, they found that the terrain was really dangerous and there was no way to go. As a last resort, they had to go down to the foot of the mountain and then take a detour back to the second floor. .
After this incident, no one in the crowd wanted to stay on the third floor.
Of course, Duan Qing has not stopped looking for the Mortal Grass. His obsession with entering the Mortal Realm is too deep.
After his parents left, Senior Sister Su came into his heart. He also regarded Senior Sister Su as the closest person. However, he did not dare to express his feelings due to his low cultivation level. With the Transformation Grass, he obtained the Transformation Pill to break through to the transformation world. Only in this situation can he truly raise his head and look squarely at Senior Sister Su.
Therefore, he planned to separate from everyone at the foot of the mountain and continue to search for the Mortal Transformation Grass. Anyway, there was still more than half of the time before the end of Yongling Valley. As long as he was careful, he should be able to find another Mortal Transformation Grass and escape.
He followed the others all the way to the foot of the mountain, wanting to talk to Song Ling'er about the separation. Among the Jin Xuanzong people, he was only familiar with Song Ling'er. In case he couldn't go back this time, he might as well bring a message to Senior Sister Su.
But before he could reach Song Ling'er, he heard a vibration coming from both sides of the mountain. A group of monsters jumped out from nowhere, outflanking everyone from left to right.
Duan Qing took a cursory look and saw that there were no less than a dozen monsters on each side. Judging from their appearance, they all seemed to be monsters in the realm of metamorphosis. He was immediately frightened out of his wits.
Yelled. "Run!"
After shouting, he ran forward. Now he was attacked on both sides. He walked back up the mountain, determined not to be able to outrun the strong monster. Only going forward might have a chance of survival.
But as soon as he ran, he realized that everyone had already run ahead, and he was lagging behind when he yelled to remind everyone.
Duan Qing couldn't help but hate this group of ruthless guys!
Seeing everyone running away, the two groups of monsters behind them immediately changed directions and pursued them, gradually forming a group of monsters with a terrifying momentum.
Duan Qing panicked at first and used all his strength. With his cultivation at the ninth level of Qi training, he was able to approach the people in front of him in just a few breaths.
But when he looked back several times to observe the monsters behind him, he discovered something was wrong.
These monsters were obviously Mortal Realm monsters, and among them was the eight-legged monster that chased him on the second floor. However, the speed of the group of monsters did not seem to be as fast as expected, but among the others, He who ran at the end was just equal.
Something's wrong! He didn't know much about the other monsters, let alone those eight-legged monsters. Their size was almost the same as the one that chased him last time, and their strength should be about the same. But why were they so slow!
For some reason, Duan Qing suddenly had the illusion that these monster beasts looked like them. . . It's like letting out water!
With a thought in his mind, he calmly pretended to be exhausted, and his speed slowly slowed down.
Fortunately, everyone was busy running for their lives, and no one noticed how fast and slow Duan Qing was at the back.
Duan Qing deliberately slowed down and distanced himself from the people in front of him. Then he looked back at the group of monster beasts behind him, and found that their speed also slowed down, keeping a certain distance from him.
Then he greatly increased his speed and quickly caught up with the last few people running in front. The group of monsters and beasts were also like him, speeding up and catching up again in an instant.
His heart trembled, and he suddenly had a bad feeling. There must be some purpose for this group of monster beasts to act like this!
He tried to get away from the crowd and ran to the side as quickly as possible.
But before he could get far away from the crowd, he saw two monster beasts behind him suddenly speed up and rush toward him like meteors chasing the moon.
Duan Qing was so frightened that he quickly leaned towards the crowd and hung at the back of the crowd. Seeing this, the two monster beasts also slowed down and merged into the group of monster beasts.
Damn it, these monsters have become spirits? He cursed inwardly.
In this way, the demonic beasts chased everyone for two hours. During this period, several groups of demonic beasts flanked them several times, forcing everyone to change directions several times. By now, there were no less than a hundred demonic beasts behind them. In pursuit.
Duan Qing has been running at the back, silently observing the monster. He knows that it doesn't matter whether he runs at the front or at the back. He sees Yan Ruyu and a person from Luofeng Valley running at the front. Every time they want to When you distance yourself from the crowd and get rid of the crowd, one or two monsters will jump out of nowhere and force the two of you back into the crowd.
This group of monsters clearly wants to drive everyone in one direction!
At this time, some people in the crowd obviously saw through the monster's intentions and deliberately slowed down to maintain their physical strength. However, some people still didn't realize it, running as hard as they could, exhausting themselves to death, and slowly began to lose their physical strength.
At this time, everyone could see from a distance that the valley wall loomed in front of them, and they couldn't help but look desperate.
Duan Qing also panicked all of a sudden. There was no way to escape ahead. Could this be the purpose of the monsters and beasts, to drive everyone to the valley wall and catch them all in one fell swoop?
No, Duan Qing immediately rejected this idea. If there were so many monsters and they wanted to kill everyone, everyone would have died long ago. Why wait until now!
