After walking for about an hour, suddenly, a pair of bright red eyes emerged from the darkness ahead. It was unclear what kind of eyes they were, but they were accompanied by a powerful and chilling aura.

Instantly, everyone present changed their expressions drastically, except for Gu Changqing. Gu Changqing didn't think much of it; to him, those crimson eyes were just the eyes of a wolf. Perhaps the wolf had become possessed, which was why its eyes had turned red.

Although it was just a wolf, it still terrified everyone. He looked up and saw that the man in black had suddenly stopped in his tracks, his body trembling as if struck by lightning, and the weapon in his hand had fallen to the ground, which was really unbecoming of his status.

The others were also on high alert, their hearts pounding and their wrists trembling.

Gu Changqing smiled faintly and said nothing. He felt that this group of people were making a fuss over nothing. It was clearly just a wolf in front of them, nothing powerful. Why were they so scared? Especially that man in black, he was ridiculous. Wasn't he here to protect everyone? Why was he trembling with fear, like a wooden statue? It was laughable.

Although he felt utterly contemptuous, Gu Changqing didn't say it aloud.

After a long while, the woman in white suddenly snapped out of her shock and quickly pointed at the man in black, saying, "Come and protect us! Come quick! Come quick! What are you standing there for? Are you scared too?!"

The shout snapped the man in black out of his shock. He quickly said, "Don't be afraid. I don't know what happened to me just now. I suddenly spaced out. Okay, let's move forward now. You all follow behind me!"

After saying that, he carefully picked up the knife from the ground and quickly walked forward. To be honest, for the moment he stood there in a daze, he didn't know whether he should continue forward or not. If he didn't go forward, he might be ridiculed, but if he went forward, he might lose his life. The main reason was that he couldn't sense any aura from the bloodshot eyes in front of him, which made him feel that he might have encountered some powerful being. What if he lost his life?

However, he felt that if his guess was correct, he could sell out all of them and then find another way. In any case, even if they lost their lives, it wouldn't be his turn.

Gu Changqing was unaware of his thoughts, nor did he care to know. In Gu Changqing's perception, the wolf in front seemed to have indeed become possessed by a demon, but its cultivation was practically gone. It seemed to have been possessed by something, that is, some unclean thing had entered its soul and devoured its cultivation completely. However, it seemed that the unclean thing could not adapt to the wolf's body for the time being. After all, a wolf's body was not as flexible as a human's. But the wolf's soul seemed to have retained a trace of rationality. The two sides were constantly locked in a stalemate, until finally the wolf's eyes turned bloodshot, and it almost couldn't take it anymore and was about to explode and die.

In short, you can't sense any aura from this wolf at all, it's as if it has no aura at all, because all its cultivation has been devoured, so you can just treat it as a piece of trash now.

But the man in white was so frightened that he seemed to have encountered some terrifying demon or monster, and almost went insane.

Gu Changqing took in everything, a cold smile on his face, and utter contempt in his heart. He felt that this person would be better off leaving quickly, rather than losing his life here. It was really not worth it for some money.
