Xiao Feng, looking very nervous, spoke directly to the person beside him.
"This stone man is probably the guardian of Yellowstone Forest. With our strength, we are no match for him!"
Upon hearing this, Bing Rouqiao wholeheartedly agreed.
"Should we retreat?"
Xiao Feng shook his head and refused.
"Why retreat? Those demons have already stormed in!"
Seeing Xiao Feng's stubbornness, Mo Ruyu couldn't help but frown and speak.
"I am the strongest, but even I am no match for this stone golem. What are you still bragging about?"
Xiao Feng shook his head.
"speed!"
"This stone golem is very slow, we can just go around it, and judging from its current state, I don't think it will chase us!"
After saying this, Xiao Feng took the lead in trying it out. Sure enough, the stone man's speed could not catch up with Xiao Feng. Soon, the stone man's target fell back on Mo Ruyu and the others.
Seeing this, the group followed suit and easily escaped.
Everyone turned back to stare at the stone figure with lingering fear, only to find that the stone figure had actually cracked open on the spot and returned to its original rolling shape.
Seeing this, Xiao Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
"I thought you were something special, but you're nothing special. Come with me!"
Bing Rouqiao was filled with admiration. She figured the reason her master and the others felt there was constant danger here was probably because her master had chosen to do everything in his power to destroy the stone man.
But that doesn't matter anymore, everyone has already gone around it!
A moment later, the group arrived at the center of the Yellowstone Forest. Mo Ruyu was about to continue the attack when Xiao Feng stopped him.
"What are you doing? Aren't you going in?"
Mo Ruyu seemed completely unaware of the approaching danger, instead looking at the group with disdain.
Xiao Feng then spoke in a low voice.
"Look at these marks on the ground!"
People around gathered around.
"See those? These must be the demons!"
The expressions of everyone present unconsciously turned solemn, after all, they knew in their hearts that if these were really left behind by the demons...
There were at least several dozen demons!
"There are too many people, how about we..."
Bing Rouqiao became increasingly nervous, while Xiao Feng continued to speak.
"Let's not rush. Let's follow these tracks slowly and see if we can find a chance to launch a surprise attack!"
Cultivators and demons are sworn enemies, so Xiao Feng naturally didn't want to take them seriously.
Those around could only nod silently upon hearing this, and quickly continued to follow the footprints on the ground.
A moment later, Xiao Feng led his men to catch up with the demon race's group. At a glance, the group numbered at least fifty.
Looking at the few people behind him, Xiao Feng was really annoyed. If a fight really broke out, he was afraid that his strength wouldn't even be enough for those demons to have a meal.
After walking a few steps, Mo Ruyu spoke softly to Xiao Feng.
"Look who's leading that?"
Xiao Feng took a closer look and was startled.
Because the leader of this team was none other than Li Cai'er, the Holy Maiden of the Demon Clan!
Xiao Feng was already quite nervous, but seeing that it was Li Cai'er who had come out of seclusion made him even more nervous.
After all, this also means that the demons guarding the area are definitely not weak.
"So, should we continue following them?"
Knowing how terrifying this demon saintess was, Mo Ruyu couldn't help but ask Xiao Feng a question.
Xiao Feng gritted his teeth and, after an unknown amount of time, finally spoke to the person in front of him.
"Of course we have to pursue it, otherwise, wouldn't we be wasting this opportunity!"
This time, Xiao Feng spoke from the heart, after all, the treasures in the Yellowstone Forest were something that every cultivator and demon dreamed of.
"Keep chasing! Run after you grab the treasure!"
Upon hearing this, the people around him tacitly agreed, while Xiao Feng continued to lead his men forward.
However, after walking only a few steps, Bing Rouqiao cautiously inquired.
"Do any of you feel a little uncomfortable?"
Upon hearing this, everyone stopped in their tracks. Mo Ruyu seemed to have temporarily put aside her previous grudges and spoke softly.
"I kept feeling like there was something watching us from behind, but I didn't see anything when I turned around a few times!"
The others nodded in agreement.
"I feel uncomfortable all over, like when I was fighting against my master and he saw right through me!"
Xiao Feng frowned, because he had the same feeling. At first, Xiao Feng thought it was the gaze of the person behind him, but now it seemed that things were not so simple.
The group slowly stopped in their tracks. Xiao Feng carefully examined the area before realizing something was amiss.
Everyone has tiny, invisible crawling insects on their bodies. Upon seeing this, Xiao Feng couldn't help but gasp.
"Looks like we need to take a break!"
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at themselves, only to find that they were already covered in insects.
Mo Ruyu screamed first, but Xiao Feng quickly covered her mouth.
"Don't worry, just take these things off!"
After saying this, Xiao Feng immediately took action, but the next second he found that these crawling insects were clinging tightly to his body.
In addition, they were extremely small, making it impossible for Xiao Feng to deal with them. After struggling for a while, he failed to get rid of many of them, and instead, more and more crawled onto his body.
Mo Ruyu couldn't help but frown, and after thinking for a while, she finally spoke to Xiao Feng.
"I think I've heard of this thing before. It's called a 'body worm.' I've heard that once you're entangled by one, unless you're engulfed in flames, there's no way you can escape being sucked dry!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng couldn't help but frown and look in the direction where the demons had left.
"Why are those demons alright?"
Xiao Feng asked in a low voice.
Everyone present shook their heads.
A wicked smile crept onto Xiao Feng's lips.
"Since you don't know, why don't you just go and ask them!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked puzzled, while Xiao Feng continued to speak.
"These little bugs won't harm us for now. Tonight I'll go to their camp and try to capture a tongue-taker. I'll ask them what their purpose is and also get rid of the bugs on us!"
Bing Rouqiao looked very nervous.
"If that's the case, what if we get discovered?"
