Chapter 75 Bang!
A few people wanted to ask more questions, but found that her expression became serious.
Tao Zi said, "Enough chatting. Release your hands and take out your weapons."
The three of them didn't understand why, but they all did as they were told.
"The closer the animals are to the periphery, the weaker they become, and they may even become food for other animals. To avoid attracting the attention of their own kind, they usually don't move easily. However, if an animal attacks, they will wait for an opportunity to attack. Help me defend against them."
"Ah? Us?"
Before they could say a few more words, the senior sister rushed forward with a dagger in hand.
Wait! Senior Sister, you're looking for trouble!
The senior sister rushed towards a beast with long, slender hair and white hair with red. The beasts she had seen before were in groups, but there was no one around it.
The beast roared and rushed over, and the man and the beast fought each other.
Xi Jing murmured, "I can't see clearly at all."
Zhao Xue nodded silently. Both the senior sister and the beast acted extremely quickly, and their eyesight could not catch up at all.
Han Yueshan quickly hit each of them on the head with a wooden stick: "Don't look at Senior Sister!"
She covered her head with her hands but before she could get angry, she saw a small animal rushing towards her from the corner of her eye. She was so scared that she threw the knife in her hand, but it was useless.
Tao Zi caught a glimpse of this scene and frowned secretly.
Fortunately, Han Yueshan reacted quickly and hit her with a stick to protect Xi Jing.
Watching the beast being knocked away, Zhao Xue was stunned for a moment. Could the beast be so easy to deal with? Why did it feel a little off?
"Brother, please don't be distracted! If you are distracted again, we will be gone!!!" Han Yueshan angrily blocked the sharp claws of a beast for his junior brother.
The fellow disciples looked at the weapons in their hands, gritted their teeth, and rushed forward.
"Why are you charging? We are here to defend, not break out!"
Han Yueshan stopped their actions out of tiredness, and suddenly understood his master's usual mood.
Tao Zi was distracted by the situation here and was accidentally hit by a palm. The taste of rust spread in her throat.
She looked at the monster, murderous intent rising within her. Converting its strength, this monster was only in the early stages of foundation building, yet it was able to injure her. Ultimately, she had underestimated its foe. And not long ago, she had told Xi Jing they shouldn't underestimate the enemy, yet she had actually underestimated it, truly careless.
She began to fight the enemy with all her strength, but she did not relax her attention on Han Yueshan and the others.
Under Han Yueshan's leadership, Xi Jing and Zhao Xue began to fight the enemy in a proper manner. Although the main force still relied on the second brother, at least he was no longer a drag. Judging from Yueshan's reaction ability, he had not been beaten in vain over the years.
Tao Zi deliberately delayed for a while, until Xi Jing showed signs of fatigue, then stabbed the monster's throat. She glanced at the monster's corpse, and after confirming that it was truly dead, she wanted to go over and help them, but because of this distraction, something went wrong.
Xi Jing saw that there were more and more beasts, and she took out the explosive talisman in a hurry.
"Get out of my way!" she shouted as she channeled her spiritual energy, which was so thin that it could be ignored, into the talisman.
Han Yueshan and Zhao Xue retreated together in perfect harmony.
"Bang!"
This sound made Xi Jing and the others happy, but broke Tao Zi's mentality.
Zhao Xue asked quietly, "Why aren't they moving? Are they scared?"
Han Yueshan suddenly felt something was wrong. What had Senior Sister said before? What would happen if there was fire, light, and noise?
He swallowed and cautiously looked back at his senior sister. The senior sister gave him a "kind" smile and asked, "Are you going to run or not?"
"Why are they running? Aren't they scared?" Xi Jing's voice became softer as she walked back. Why did the eyes of these beasts look a little strange, and why was the ground shaking?
When she looked up again, she saw countless beasts running towards them.
"Don't just stand there, run!"
Tao Zi grabbed Xi Jing, who was the weakest, and ran wildly, while Zhao Xue and the others followed behind with difficulty.
She glanced at the beast tide behind her and tried to comfort herself that this proved that the explosive talisman was very powerful, at least stronger than the one He Yingping took out.
The four of them attracted almost one-fifth of the beasts on the outermost edge, and the number was still increasing.
Tao Zi looked at the monster that was getting closer and closer and roared, "Xi Jing, take out the explosive talisman again!"
"Okay!" Xi Jing quickly took out the remaining three explosive talismans.
She endured the pain coming from her spiritual veins and input spiritual energy. At the moment before the talisman exploded, she used the broken branches as arrows and threw them in three different directions.
Explosions sounded in three different directions, barely diverting a small number of monsters, but most of the monsters still followed closely.
Tao Zi gritted her teeth, made a decision, and led them deeper into the cave.
Countless daggers flew out of their hands, stabbing at the monsters that were about to threaten their lives. After about half a quarter of an hour of suffering, they successfully reached their destination. Unfortunately, Tao Zi had run out of daggers.
Han Yueshan looked back several times in confusion. The number of beasts behind him became fewer and fewer, and only a few remained. More beasts seemed to have chosen to stand still or even retreat.
What's going on?
After he recovered from his previous state of almost gasping for breath, he fell into deep thought.
Zhao Xue also noticed this and said, "Senior Sister, there are only a few left. Should we stop the counterattack?"
"no!"
"Can't!"
The latter answer was given by Han Yueshan. Tao Zi looked at him in surprise and said, "Yueshan, tell me what you think."
He panted as he spoke, "Fire, light, and noise all have an effect, so could the smell of blood possibly affect them as well? After all, beasts are naturally allergic to the smell of blood. Are they stopping here because there's something even more terrifying here?"
Tao Zi was alert to her surroundings and said, "Yes, the smell of blood will affect them, and the latter is also true. Keep running. Once they react to the stimulation, they will leave here on their own."
After circling for an unknown number of times, the monsters finally disappeared completely. Tao Zi did not dare to stop and continued running with them until they came across a cave.
The cave looked very ordinary, but when they looked inside, they saw a huge snake coiled there, with reddish-green color, inverted triangle eyes, and a scarlet tongue.
Fortunately, they had learned their lesson before, and they quickly covered each other's mouths and did not scream.
Tao Zi rushed over with Xi Jing's knife and killed the snake in a few minutes. She did not move the snake's body out, but left it where it was. Then she checked the entire cave herself before letting them in and nestling in the innermost part.
Zhao Xue looked at the snake in confusion. For some reason, he always felt that this snake was more difficult to deal with than the beast just now, but his senior sister handled it faster. Why was that?
