Kevin's wish was ultimately not fulfilled.
The group of demons and ferocious beasts lingered outside the range and refused to move forward even a step.
The armored vehicle's rune cannon and rune missiles can indeed hit these monsters and ferocious beasts, but given their strength, using rune cannons and rune missiles is a bit like using a sledgehammer to kill a fly.
What a waste.
In the end, they let them follow. With the statues, stone tablets and Su Mu around, they were not afraid even if they were really spies sent by the demon lord.
It’s not like we haven’t killed demigod-level demon lords before in the past few days.
Soon, other students in the team also discovered the group of demons and ferocious beasts following them from a distance, and they couldn't help but talk about it, but after guessing for a long time, they still couldn't come to a conclusion.
Someone else joked: "Do you think these demons and beasts look like they are here to get free Wi-Fi?"
"Wife, that's called WiFi. Boy, you're making a big deal out of it."
Everyone laughed and complained, but they also said that this scene was indeed like using free WiFi.
Even Su Mu thought they looked alike, but there was no WiFi in the team, so why were they here to get some?
“Could it be…”
Su Mu glanced at the spiritual purification grass planted around the armored vehicle, feeling the spiritual energy they purified, and wondered, "Are these demons and beasts here to get spiritual energy?"
If you think about it carefully, it is not impossible.
For these demons and beasts in the Yuanjiao secret realm, they have always absorbed chaotic and violent spiritual energy. In this situation, a moderate and peaceful spiritual energy suddenly appeared, just like Qiuxiang emerging from a group of crooked melons and cracked dates. The attraction is really not to be underestimated.
Just look at the powerful tiger king and the others and you will know.
He absorbed the spiritual energy so greedily that he wished he could turn into a vacuum cleaner and directly hit the Pure Spirit Grass.
For the demons, ghosts and ferocious beasts following them, the amount of pure spiritual energy they could absorb became very little and thin as the distance became farther.
But no matter how little or thin it is, it's better than not being able to take a single breath, right?
Having roughly guessed the purpose of this group of monsters and ferocious beasts, Su Mu was no longer worried.
If they want to take advantage of the spiritual energy, then go ahead. When these monsters and ferocious beasts have taken advantage of it many times and feel the benefits of the purified spiritual energy, Su Mu can then 'charge' them.
I have to pay for the internet, not to mention the spiritual energy? How can I not give you something good in exchange?
During the day's march, Sumu and his team also met several teams of surviving classmates.
There were dozens of people at most and three or five at least, all of them were injured and looked like frightened birds.
Seeing Su Mu and others fully armed and in neat military uniforms, the students were very excited and thought they were reinforcements sent from outside the secret place.
When he saw clearly that it was the classmate who was sucked into the secret realm with him, he was immediately surprised.
"We were all sucked into the secret realm. Why are we so miserable, but you are so arrogant, equipped with not only weapons and magic weapons, but also armored vehicles?"
Hearing their questions, everyone burst into laughter. The alchemist cast spells to heal their wounds and gave them pills to take to restore their spiritual power while he explained.
After listening, the students understood the reason and accepted the concept of fire trucks and firefighting equipment. Then they happily received a set from Su Mu.
But after a while, they became sad again and sighed, "If I had met you one day earlier, I could have had a few more classmates."
During these few days, they encountered attacks from demons and ferocious beasts, and were swallowed by the strange darkness. Not only were everyone injured, but many students also lost their lives.
After comforting the new students, Su Mu chanted a spell to summon souls, and with the help of a drum, he summoned the souls of the students who had not yet been devoured or dissipated, enshrined them in a jade tablet, and took them home together.
However, just as they met another group of classmates, arranged them properly, and continued on their way, Kevin quietly came to Su Mu.
He transmitted his voice: "There are a few people who are not right among the students this time."
Su Mu remained calm and used the sound transmission technique to quietly ask, "What did you find?"
Kevin continued to transmit the message: "Several people were too excited about the purified spiritual energy. They were even more curious about the Pure Spirit Grass, as if they had never seen it before."
The plant Jingling Grass has been seen and known by not only the students of the Cultivation University but even ordinary people.
In high school biology classes and even history classes, there are knowledge points about the Rice Saint Yuan Lao and the Jingling Grass, and it is a compulsory test subject!
Even if he was able to successfully grow the Pure Spirit Grass in the Yuanjiao Secret Realm, he shouldn't act as if he had never seen it before.
This is indeed a problem.
Su Mu nodded slightly and asked, "Any other findings?"
"have."
Kevin went on to talk about his findings: "After they received the pills you distributed, their expressions were a little confused, as if they didn't know the purpose and usage of the pills. It was only after observing the people around them that they learned to eat them. And at the moment they ate the pills, although they tried their best to control themselves, I still noticed their flashes of shock and the smell they emitted."
"What's that smell?"
"In this secret place, the smell of monsters is very faint, and they were quickly hidden."
Su Mu knew that Kevin's sense of smell was extraordinary, even better than that of Cai Mao and Senior Sister Xun's dog-headed people. He could smell many smells that ordinary people could not.
But this matter was of great importance, so he asked seriously: "Are you sure you didn't smell it wrong?"
Kevin said, "If only one or two people had the smell of evil and it disappeared in an instant, I might have smelled it wrong. But this time, several people gave off the smell of evil, I can't have been wrong, right?"
Su Mu also felt that Kevin couldn't have smelled it wrong, but in order to avoid making a mistake, he quietly patted the gourd hanging around his waist and used the sound transmission technique to say to the eye pattern on the gourd: "Smell it for me, is there any smell of evil in this team?"
The sound of drums came from the eye pattern of the gourd and went straight into Su Mu's ears. Even Kevin, who was right next to him, did not hear it.
"You really treat me like a dog?" Gu said dissatisfiedly, but before Su Mu could explain, he added: "It does smell a bit evil."
Then, Gu Qin recommended: "Do you want me to help you identify the source of the evil smell? If you can identify one, I will give you a bottle of good wine and 100,000 yuan. If you want the whole package, I can give you a 9.9% discount."
Su Mu ignored him and asked Kevin via voice transmission: "Can you confirm which people have the smell of evil?"
This made Gu very resentful, and he muttered: "He turned his back on me, how can he be such a dog!"
Su Mu pretended not to hear.
Kevin stretched out his hand, and a talisman pen appeared in his hand. It was the one he bought at a high price from the Danyi Exchange Forum... No, it was a gift he received after an emotional exchange, a symbol of friendship.
After getting this pen, Kevin not only asked Pei Jun for advice on the skills of Xianling calligraphy and painting, but also sought out a professor of Xianling calligraphy and painting to learn from him.
The professor didn't want to accept him as his disciple at first, but he was deeply moved by his sincerity.
In the past, Kevin was not strong enough to control the talisman pen, but now his cultivation has improved a lot compared to when he got the talisman pen, so he can barely use it.
Holding the talisman pen, he quickly drew a few strokes, and a rune appeared out of thin air in front of him and Su Mu, then turned into clouds and smoke and poured into the bodies of the two.
Then, Kevin waved the pen lightly, and a dot of ink flew out and landed on several classmates, leaving a big red mark on their heads.
Those students were completely unaware of this, and neither was the other people in the team.
Su Mu took a quick look and saw that there were not many people, only seven. Their cultivation levels were also average, most of them were at level one, with only two at level two.
This situation is really unexpected.
Originally, Su Mu thought that the demon who transformed himself into a human cultivator and sneaked into the team must have at least three or four levels of cultivation, no matter how high his cultivation level was.
What use is there for a level 2 demon like this to join the team? Is it just to give away heads?
But the illusions of these seven demons were so powerful that even Su Mu, who was considered an expert in illusion after reading Professor Ye Xian's notes, could not find any flaws.
Su Mu couldn't help but guess: "Could it be that their cultivation is more than just level one or two, but they used secret techniques to hide their cultivation just like they hid their demonic aura?"
Kevin used the sound transmission technique and said, "These are the people. What do you think we should do with them?"
Su Mu couldn't guess the strength and purpose of these seven demons, but for safety reasons, it would be best to kill them all.
So he ordered: "Draw the spirit eye talisman on Feili, Senior Sister Lin, Senior Sister Gu, Pei Jun and others, so that they can also see the marks on the heads of the seven demons. Find an opportunity to go to them, listen to my signal, and kill them! Remember, don't hurt other students around by mistake."
After a pause, he added: "Tell the students in charge of the rune cannon on the armored vehicle to get ready as well."
Those in charge of the rune cannons were all students from Qingcheng Mountain, after all, they knew each other well and could better execute Su Mu's orders.
Kevin was stunned when he heard this: "Kill them all? Why not capture someone alive and interrogate them about their purpose?"
Su Mu shook his head slightly: "We don't need living people. We can interrogate dead people just as well, and we can interrogate them faster and more clearly."
"OK!"
Hearing Su Mu say this, Kevin stopped asking questions and nodded slightly to show that he understood. He then sent a message to Fei Li and the others and drew spirit eye talismans for them.
Soon, Feili, Lin Jiange and others walked to the seven ghosts pretending to be classmates, waiting for Su Mu's signal.
The armored vehicle's rune cannon also quietly aimed at these monsters, and would open fire to provide support if everyone was unable to handle them.
Su Mu also came to the side of one of the demons.
The demon noticed Su Mu coming over and looked up at him.
In order not to alert the enemy, Su Mu grinned and smiled back at him.
However, what happened next was something no one expected.
After seeing Su Mu's smile, the classmate who had transformed into a ghost actually fell to his knees.
Then the other six students who had transformed into demons also knelt on the ground.
Su Mu was stunned: What's going on? Is my smile so scary? !
Kevin, Lin Jian'e and others were also caught off guard by this incident:
We haven't even started yet, why are these demons kneeling down? Is it because our domineering spirit has finally been aroused, making these demons bow down to us?
Or... they want to blackmail people? !
