Zaun also found some dark bloodstains on the broken tree branch, indicating that someone was injured.
Fortunately, no bodies were found at the scene, proving that no one has died yet.
Even if you encounter a man-eating beast, there will be remains nearby; it's impossible for it to swallow even the bones.
No similar traces were found in the vicinity.
But what exactly are they avoiding? Is it something purple that those small animals are afraid of?
Zaun tried to summon the small animals again, but found that the animals around him had become extremely scarce, and they were all restless and difficult to control.
He looked at the increasingly thick white fog around him, snorted coldly, flew into the air, took out an array plate from his pocket, and rapidly manipulated it. Then he took out dozens of array flags, which turned into beams of golden light and shot out in various directions.
Soon a wind-gathering formation was formed, and the air in the mountains and forests began to flow. Then the wind began to grow stronger and stronger, thinning the white mist in the mountains.
He released his divine sense again, and although it was still affected by the white mist, the area it could cover was much larger than before.
The reason he almost went bankrupt during this period was not only because of alchemy, but also because making these array plates and array flags was quite expensive.
Speaking of the seven skills in the "Baopu Zhenjing", each one is extremely expensive. I don't know how the Baopu Zhenjun managed to get so much money back then.
He began to fly and patrol the mountains and forests. Now he was like a super-large radar, conducting a carpet search of Tongluo Mountain. Although the method was a bit clumsy, it was effective.
Of course, all of this is based on his current formidable strength. If it were any other grandmaster-level expert, they would probably be completely blind in this white mist.
Suddenly, his expression changed. He could sense a slight fluctuation in the elements from the northeast, as if a battle was taking place.
He flashed and flew quickly in that direction, soon finding the scene of the incident.
He was overjoyed, for he immediately spotted the petite and delicate girl under the tree. Her emerald green dress instantly calmed his mind, and the exquisite little medicine pouch at her waist added to her charm and cuteness.
Ji Xiaoxi!
She's still the same as before, with a delicate and timid figure, and a soft and cute appearance. Her slightly chubby face makes you want to pinch it.
Several young men and women surrounded her, seemingly all watching over her.
This group of people, all wounded, are facing a terrifying enemy in fear.
A ghostly figure engulfed in purple flames roamed around the group, emitting a chilling and eerie laugh, occasionally attempting to break through their encirclement.
Those people tried to fight back, but when their attacks hit their opponent, the flames on the opponent's body just trembled, and there was no sign of any damage.
"Our attacks are ineffective against him!" the men cried out in despair.
Only the middle-aged man standing at the front, radiating golden light and enveloping the group, prevented the Purple Flame Ghost from entering.
However, the golden shield was getting dimmer and dimmer, and it probably wouldn't last more than a few seconds.
Zu An's heart skipped a beat. The energy fluctuations he had sensed from such a distance must have been generated by the middle-aged man's attack. It seemed to be his trump card for survival. Unfortunately, the Purple Flame Ghost on the other side was too powerful and couldn't last long.
Seeing that the monster was covered in purple flames, he wondered if this was the purple being that those animals feared.
Although it's a long story, all of this happened in a flash. The middle-aged man shouted, "I can't hold on any longer! Miss Ji, you run! I'll hold off this monster for a bit. Everyone else, split up and run! Every person who can escape is a winner!"
"I have some healing pills here, take them quickly!" Ji Xiaoxi refused to run away first and hurriedly took out several pills and handed them over.
"It's too late..." A hint of despair flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes. The next moment, the golden shield was shattered, and he collapsed to the ground, coughing up blood. He tried to protect the monster's body, but the Purple Flame Ghost was too fast and instantly dodged him, rushing into the center of the crowd.
The others were filled with despair. Their attacks were ineffective against the Purple Flame Ghost, and they didn't even have time to escape. They could only be slaughtered one-sidedly.
Just then, a beam of white light descended from the sky, and the purple aura surrounding the Purple Flame Ghost was extinguished at a visible speed, before its entire body froze into an ice sculpture.
The group rubbed their eyes. The monster that had just been so powerful that it filled them with despair was gone just like that?
What exactly happened?
"Xiao Xi, are you alright?" Only then did everyone notice the figure beside them, and they were startled, so they all drew their weapons and pointed them at him.
She only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was a handsome and upright young man.
Ji Xiaoxi's eyes widened instantly upon seeing him clearly, filled with surprise and joy: "Brother Zu?!"
Zuan patted her hair: "I'm late, and I've put you in so much danger."
The people around her stared wide-eyed. They all knew that Ji Xiaoxi was covered in poison. Before, a lecherous man had tried to harass her, but the moment he touched her, he was poisoned and cried out in pain. If this person were to touch her directly with his hand...
However, to their surprise, nothing happened.
Even Ji Xiaoxi didn't resist the other person's head pat, and their expressions seemed particularly affectionate.
Several men in the room were heartbroken. After all, Ji Xiaoxi was so cute, gentle, and kind; who wouldn't like her?
At this moment, Ji Xiaoxi suddenly remembered something, hurriedly lifted her skirt and went to the big man next to her. She took out a few pills from her bosom and said anxiously, "Brother Sun, quickly take these pills."
