After noticing that the rules of the secret realm had changed, Qu Xiangwan and Xiao Shuze could no longer sit still. They were determined to take the initiative and collect more wood and firewood before others could react.
Xiao Wu looked at the sky and followed them slowly. It was still an hour before dawn, and these two stupid kids were quite anxious. They were not afraid of being attacked by monsters.
"Everyone, go slow. We're new here, be careful of sneak attacks."
Xiao Shuze patted the strong muscles on his arms and said, "Don't worry, who dares to attack me?"
Although she said so, Xiao Wu always felt that something would happen to these two unreliable people, so she followed them into the mountains.
There was a forest on this island, but it didn't look very large, so it would be easy to find someone. She took out a shovel and cleared the way. "Fifth Brother, did you see the signal sent by the eldest brother when you came out?"
After waiting for a while, Xiao Shuze did not respond, which was very unusual.
Xiao Wu raised an eyebrow and didn't move forward. She put away the shovel and held the hilt of the Tai Sui Sword with one hand. "Fifth Senior Brother? Brother Qu?"
She called out several times but received no response; only her voice echoed in the empty woods.
"There's something strange here, you have to be careful." The tree spirit reminded.
"Yeah." She gripped the Tai Sui Sword tightly and released a few fireballs for illumination.
After the fireball rose into the air, it automatically surrounded her and floated with her every movement. At the same time, Xiao Wu also released the Iron Rooster, Thunder Cloud Leopard and Xiao Lu.
Two Yuanying stage monsters and the Chongming bird with the power of blood suppression appeared together, and rustling sounds soon sounded around them.
Surrounded by the fireball and three beasts, Xiao Wu's eyes turned golden, but because the firelight illuminated her eyes, outsiders could not see that the color of her pupils had changed.
She raised her eyes and found a black figure hiding behind a tree not far away. The black figure turned and fled. Xiao Wu drew his sword and chased after it, "Stop!"
After chasing for a few steps, seeing the black figure running away, Xiao Wu immediately turned around and ran back.
She ran in one direction according to the tracking spell she had secretly assigned to her fifth senior brother before entering the mountain. After chasing for a few minutes, a fork in the road appeared in front of her, and the tracking spell was broken from here.
"Hiss~ Master, how about we split up into two groups?" Xiaolu looked around at the fork in the road.
Xiao Wu didn't say anything. She walked back and forth a few steps in the middle of the fork in the road.
She stared at the towering tree in the middle of the fork in the road for a while, then reached out and knocked on it a few times. "This sound is a little off."
After muttering, she suddenly lay on the ground with her ears close to the ground and her eyes closed, listening carefully to the sounds below.
Seeing their master identifying the location by sound, the three beasts didn't dare to breathe.
Xiao Wu lay on the ground and listened for a while, then got up. Without waiting for the three beasts to ask her if she had heard anything, she directly drew out the Tai Sui Sword and swung a sword energy towards the roots of the towering tree in the middle of the fork in the road.
The towering tree fell down with a loud bang.
The loud noise quickly attracted the attention of other disciples, and someone shouted, "Quick, over there!"
Xiao Wu jumped onto the cut of the giant tree. Sure enough, there was a small hole in the center of the tree that was big enough for a person to pass through. There seemed to be an underground river underneath. The sound of water that she had just faintly heard came from below.
She also felt the breath of Qu Xiangwan and Fifth Senior Brother at the entrance of the cave.
Little Green looked into the dark hole and said, "Master, it might be dangerous down there. Let me take you down with me."
This is indeed a good idea. Xiaolu's snake scales are very thick, and it is not easy for ordinary monsters to break its snake scales. Xiao Wu agreed, "Well, thank you, my beloved concubine Lu."
She tucked Thunder Cloud Leopard and Iron Rooster under her arms and nodded to Little Green, "Let's get started."
At this moment, a black mass rushed towards her face.
Xiao Wu dodged sideways, and the mass of stuff didn't hit anyone. When it fell to the ground, it emitted a different fragrance.
It turned out to be a ball of Oli Gei!
She turned her head to look at the person who threw the shit. It was very short, only half the height of a person, and its whole body was covered with long black hair. Its exposed hands and feet had webbed feet, which looked weird no matter how you looked at it.
Wasn't that the black figure she'd been chasing not long ago? Had he realized she hadn't caught up with him and, in a rage, returned to get even with her?
"This is a water demon, or what you would normally call a water monster. It lives in groups, its attacks vary in strength and it's very intelligent. It excels at teamwork, eats any kind of meat, and is skilled at using deception."
After the tree spirit finished the introduction, he even jokingly said, "Those two idiots were probably captured by them. They're probably about to be boiled in the pot by these monsters."
Xiao Wu understood. Isn’t this just a water monster version of a hyena?
When the water monster saw Xiao Wu staring at it, it lifted the hair that was blocking its eyes, revealing four red eyes and two fangs, and made strange noises that made people feel sleepy.
The tree spirit continued to educate her, "Pay attention to their eyes. Their eyes are aggressive. Once a person's eyes meet theirs, their mind will go blank."
"If you combine this with the mumbling coming out of their mouths, people will be unconsciously confused by them and fall into a coma."
But Xiao Wu felt that the two stupid kids did not faint because they were confused, but because they were scared, because the face of the water monster looked as ugly as a devil.
The one in front of me has a green face, fangs, wrinkles all over its face and four red eyes. Who wouldn't be confused by it?
