Chapter 120 The Monsters Went Crazy
The first to notice that something was wrong were the monsters in the secret realm.
It had only been two days since Xie Liuyin and his companions had obtained the purple lotus nectar. On the morning when they were about to leave for the snowfield, when they woke up from their meditation, they saw the corpses of monsters all over the ground.
This was not the most surprising thing for them. They soon discovered that not far from their camp, there were two monsters close to the Jindan stage fighting.
Looking at the horrific scene of corpses scattered all over the ground, everyone's faces turned pale.
If they had not deliberately opened the defensive barrier before resting, they would have been attacked long ago.
Yue He, the female guard of Yuxing City, had a pale face and a tone full of fear: "Fortunately, we listened to Miss Xie and set up the formation in advance."
Yes, they have been used to having everything go smoothly these days, and even started to slack off on something as important as keeping watch.
If Junior Uncle hadn’t insisted on setting up a defensive formation last night, raising the barrier around them to conceal their presence.
I'm afraid they will also be among those who die at the hands of those two foundation-building monsters.
Thinking of this, everyone got goosebumps all over their bodies and felt fortunate.
"What is going on? How come these monsters started attacking each other like crazy overnight?" Looking at the two monsters biting each other madly in the distance, Qiu Yu was filled with fear.
They had been in the secret realm for so long, and they had seen two monsters hostile to each other and fighting over territory or prey.
But I have never seen such a brutal fight as today, as if the two sides wanted to eat each other.
Not only that, there were many broken corpses of monsters lying on the ground nearby, which clearly showed that a melee had taken place here.
The others didn't understand what was going on, but Xie Liuyin knew it very well.
However, she did not explain immediately, but urged them to pack up quickly: "Things have changed, we are not going to the snowy plains, let's go back to Ling Xue and the others to check the situation first!"
Of course, they would not refuse. They were the strongest people in their team. If all the monsters in the secret realm rioted, Princess Luo and the others would most likely be in trouble without them.
They moved quickly and packed up their things in two or three moves.
They temporarily removed the defensive formation, but in order to avoid being discovered by the two monsters not far away, they all pasted concealment talismans on their bodies, and then changed to a more hidden path, bypassing the monsters and sneaking away.
As the vanguard, the six of them should have been walking in the front, searching for treasure while paving the way for the larger group behind them.
If they encounter any danger, they can solve it quickly.
The large army following behind had been resting these days, and their original vigilance had been almost worn out by the leisurely days in the past month.
If Xie Liuyin hadn't reminded them to be prepared at night, Hua Lingxue and Princess Luo, who had some say in the team, would have listened to Xie Liuyin very much.
These people probably don't take the night watches and patrols seriously every day.
But just last night, when everyone was sleeping, the night watchman suddenly started shouting, waking up everyone in the camp.
The female guards of Yuxing City were the most alert and rushed out of the tent with weapons in hand at the first moment.
What they saw was a group of monsters that suddenly surrounded their camp for some unknown reason.
The monster's attack woke everyone up, but fortunately, although they were well protected, they still kept their abilities.
In addition, most of the monsters that surrounded them were only at the Qi Refining Stage, which was why they had no effect on them.
Sushagui even helped them secretly and quickly eliminated the monster with the highest level of cultivation in the periphery.
Without the leading monster, the rest of the monsters no longer flocked to the camp, and Princess Luo and her group quickly survived the crisis.
When Xie Liuyin and the others hurried back, everyone was cleaning up the battlefield.
Xie Liuyin and the others were very worried along the way, until they saw that the camp was not damaged, they felt relieved.
Qiu Yu immediately asked Hua Lingxue: "What happened? Were you attacked?"
Hua Lingxue nodded and told the whole story about how she was besieged by monsters in the middle of the night.
"Fortunately, the siege did not last long. We killed most of the monsters. The rest probably sensed the danger and dispersed on their own." Hua Lingxue explained.
Jiang Shan frowned when he heard this: "What on earth is going on? Didn't the monsters in the secret realm hide when they saw us before? Why did they come out and attack the camp out of nowhere?"
After he asked this question, he subconsciously looked at Xie Liuyin. The other party is now their backbone, and Jiang Shan thinks that the junior uncle should know some inside information.
"Clean up this place first and don't leave any bloody smell. I'll explain it to you in detail later." Xie Liuyin rolled up his sleeves and urged everyone to take action.
Xie Mingzhu and Xiao Chi, who was almost recovered, hid behind the crowd and were well protected.
She looked at Xie Liuyin's busy back not far away, and was really curious about what this cheap sister had been busy with these days.
She said she was leading people to explore the way ahead, but Xie Mingzhu hadn't seen her many times in a month.
And she didn’t know if it was Xie Mingzhu’s illusion, but she always felt that these people were hiding something from her.
She had intended to ask Su Shagui before, but Su Shagui said that Xie Liuyin and the others would go far away once they went out. He was worried that if he went too far, he would not be able to protect Xie Mingzhu, so he gave up.
Xie Mingzhu was touched by Su Shagui's sincerity towards her, but she was also really curious about the whereabouts of Xie Liuyin and the other six.
It’s a pity that she was tripped up by Xiao Chi and hasn’t been able to find out anything so far.
Thinking of Sushagui, Xie Mingzhu raised her head and glanced into the nearby woods. It was this glance that allowed her to see a black butterfly flying by.
Xie Mingzhu's eyes lit up instantly. This was the agreement between her and Su Shahui. As long as a black butterfly flew out of the woods, it meant that he wanted to meet her.
Xie Mingzhu's attention was instantly drawn away. She casually said to the person beside her: "I will also help clean up the battlefield. Your leg is not fully healed yet, so you should go and rest first."
After hearing her say this, Xiao Chi naturally agreed obediently.
His leg was badly injured, but since no one brought bone-setting medicine, he had to heal himself.
Fortunately, the physique of a monk is much better than that of an ordinary person. An injury that would take an ordinary mortal several months to heal can be healed by him in just one month, though it is still a little inconvenient.
Xie Mingzhu has been taking care of him these days. Xiao Chi has long been deeply in love with this junior sister. He is waiting to report the situation to his master as soon as he returns to the sect and ask him to help him get married to junior sister Xie.
Xiao Chi thought so in his heart, and a sweet smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
At this moment, he had no idea that his current sweetheart had already hidden in the woods to talk to the big monster.
