A group of demons and ferocious beasts formed a fan shape, searching and moving in the wilderness.
Several evil demons and ferocious beasts with excellent sense of smell in the team kept twitching their noses, trying to smell different odor factors in the air.
Three days have passed since Sumu and his men escaped from the Hexiangu Temple at the foot of Yushan Mountain.
Yesterday, the demon ghost who was chasing in the southeast direction finally found out that he had been deceived!
All the magic array traps they encountered along the way were made by puppet dolls and rune figures.
After learning the truth, the demons in the pursuit team were almost furious.
The Demon Lord Heyu, who had already returned to Yushan, became even more furious after receiving the news.
It immediately sent out its trusted confidants to behead all the demons in the pursuit team, bring their flesh, blood and souls back to Yushan, and offer them as sacrifices to the god in the clepsydra.
At the same time, he strictly ordered all demons, ghosts and ferocious beasts to conduct a carpet search in the Yuanjiao secret realm and make sure to find out the whereabouts of the cultivator.
And because cultivators are good at using illusions to hide their bodies, all of these searching teams of demons and ghosts are accompanied by evil demons or ferocious beasts with super-strong senses.
At this moment, this team of demons, ghosts and ferocious beasts is the standard equipment of the search team.
While searching around, the monsters and ferocious beasts in the team were still discussing among themselves.
Some demons and ghosts were complaining: "The secret realm is so large, it's not realistic to conduct a carpet search. I really don't know what the Heyu Demon Lord is thinking."
As soon as it said this, it was immediately rebuked by its companions: "Shut up! Do you want to bring disaster to us? Just do whatever Demon Lord Heyu tells you to do. Why are you complaining so much? If Demon Lord Heyu or his subordinates hear this, we will all be in trouble!"
The demon who had just been complaining realized that he had said the wrong thing and was too embarrassed to say anything.
Another demon ghost glanced around and after making sure there were no outsiders, he lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the demon ghosts who died at the foot of Jade Mountain had another secret."
"What kind of hidden secret could there be? Didn't the Heyu Demon Lord report it? They were all killed by cultivators..."
"Do you believe this? I don't believe it anyway."
Another demon ghost joined the discussion and whispered, "I heard that all the demon ghosts at the foot of Jade Mountain were killed by Demon Lord Heyu..."
"Shut up, everyone. Is this what you can discuss? Do you really want to kill us?" The demon leader of this team was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly stopped them.
Several demons looked at each other and did not discuss it any further. They just muttered, "This matter has already spread everywhere in the past two days."
It really spread.
Under Su Mu's arrangement, the Painted Skin Demons turned into "water troops" and spread the matter everywhere.
Perhaps in the short term, there will be no effect. After all, the Heyu Demon Lord and the God Lord have accumulated great prestige in the Yuanjiao Secret Realm, but as long as they can buy a thorn in the hearts of the demons and beasts, it will be considered a success.
Suddenly, the evil demons and ferocious beasts with excellent sense of smell in the team twitched their noses.
Upon seeing this, the demon master quickly signaled the demons to be on guard and asked, "What's wrong? Did you find anything?"
One of the demons replied, "It smells very nice."
“It smells nice?”
When the demon lord heard this, he subconsciously sniffed carefully and indeed smelled a sweet scent.
The smell is very light, but very comfortable, and I can't help but want to smell it more.
At this time, the other monsters and ferocious beasts in the team also smelled the fragrance.
"What's that smell? Why haven't I smelled it before?"
"It smells so good and feels so good."
The demons, ghosts and ferocious beasts expressed their opinions one after another, and then fell to the ground one after another with a "thump", their bodies going limp.
What's happening?!
The demons and ghosts all looked confused.
(?Д?≡?Д?)
We were having a great time, why did we fall down?
Could it be that...
Is there something poisonous in this wonderful fragrance? !
This group of demons, ghosts and ferocious beasts reacted quickly and immediately realized that they were attacked and poisoned.
While they were trying to mobilize their demonic power to suppress the poison, they were also shouting to warn people.
But before they could open their mouths, vines quickly spread out like snakes and entangled their mouths and limbs.
Then, flying swords and kitchen knives appeared out of thin air all around.
With lightning speed, it stabbed their hearts and cut their necks.
The whole process was fast, fierce, precise, and silent, and it was obvious that it was the operation of a veteran.
The group of demons and ferocious beasts had no time to even raise any warning and were killed one after another.
However, the cultivator's operation is not over yet.
Just as the souls of the demons, ghosts and ferocious beasts left their bodies, a gourd with eye patterns appeared and sucked in all the souls that were trying to escape.
Everything went smoothly, just like the previous raids.
But just when everyone thought the battle was over, a ray of light suddenly bloomed in the distance and was about to fly away from here at lightning speed.
This demon lord was also cunning. He actually used the method of separating the demon talisman, wrapped the communication talisman with demon power, and followed from a distance.
The moment they were attacked, the warning talisman was immediately activated by the demonic power that enveloped it.
"Not good!" Su Mu saw this and hurriedly said, "Senior Sister Lin, stop it!"
Lin Jian'e didn't waste any words. She picked up the wine gourd with her left hand and took a sip of wine. She slapped the sword case with her right hand and summoned the fastest sword, Sword C3, to chase the warning talisman.
At the same time, Feili also raised his hand and released a string of bubbles, trying to stop the warning talisman.
Before Lin Jian'e's sword and Feili's bubbles could catch up with the warning talisman, a huge hand suddenly appeared in the flying route of the warning talisman and grabbed it.
"Longbo Giant?!"
Su Mu and his friends saw a burly giant, a hundred meters tall and wearing armor and a helmet, appear in their sight.
From a distance, it looks like a hill.
The giant Long Bo held the warning talisman in his hand and waved it to block Lin Jiang'e's Bingsan sword.
Then he blew out a breath, forcing Feili's bubbles to unable to get close.
“Prepare for battle!”
Su Mu looked solemn upon seeing this.
The strength of this Longbo Giant was not weak, at least at the level of a demigod. Coupled with its huge size, immense strength, and superb defense, it was really difficult to deal with.
Moreover, in a sense, the Longbo Giant is not a monster, so Su Mu doesn't know whether the statues and stone tablets carried by the team can be activated to help them deal with the Longbo Giant.
If they fail to kill the Longbo Giant in a short period of time, it will definitely attract more demons and beasts. By then, the situation will be completely disadvantageous to them.
There is just one thing that confuses Su Mu.
Why did this Longbo giant grab the warning talisman?
Wouldn't it be better to let it continue flying, giving warnings along the way and notifying more demons and ferocious beasts to come?
Did the Longbo giant want to take all the credit for himself? Or did he have other ideas?
In the short few seconds that Su Mu was confused and thinking, everyone had already prepared for battle, waiting for his order.
At this time, Su Ye pulled him and said, "Brother, don't be anxious. I feel that this Longbo giant has no ill intentions."
"Huh?" Su Mu was stunned when he heard this, but he trusted Su Ye's sixth sense very much. He quickly gave everyone an order to stay calm, but did not let down his guard. If the situation was not right, he would take action immediately.
The Longbo giant in the distance opened his huge eyes and glanced in the direction of the crowd.
Because of the camouflage effect of the tactical cloak, he could not see the figure of the cultivator, but he could be sure that the cultivator was there.
And just as Su Ye said, he had no ill intentions. Not only did he not launch an attack, he also spread out the hand that was holding the warning talisman.
This warning talisman had been crushed by him, and all its spiritual power had been lost, turning it into waste.
The Longbo giant opened his mouth, sucked the broken warning talisman into his mouth, and swallowed it whole, as if he wanted to tell everyone in this way: I have no ill will towards you.
Everyone looked at each other, not understanding why the Longbo giant did this.
Shouldn't he be on the side of the demons and beasts? Why would he help us?
Before anyone could ask, the Longbo giant suddenly turned his head, looked towards the southeast, and then frowned.
Soon he turned around and whispered a few words. The book spirit quickly translated: "He spoke in ancient language, and the general meaning was that we should clean up the battlefield and leave quickly, and not stay here any longer."
After saying this, the Longbo giant strode towards the southeast.
At the same time, Su Mu received a message from the Painted Skin Demon, saying that in the southeast direction there was a trusted big demon under the command of the Demon Lord He Yu, who was leading a pursuit team and was searching all the way towards this side.
It was obvious that the Longbo Giant was going to help them delay time.
Su Mu immediately informed everyone of the situation and arranged for the follow-up actions to be carried out immediately.
Soon, the corpses of this group of demons, ghosts and ferocious beasts were divided up by cultivators from all walks of life, leaving nothing behind.
Su Mu also made high-quality imitations using puppet dolls, and let them continue searching along the established route of this team of demons and ferocious beasts.
Only by making everything seem real can you deceive the demons and ghosts.
The entire aftermath process only took a few minutes. Everyone is now not only professional, but also efficient!
After they were back on the road, everyone could no longer suppress their curiosity and started discussing:
"Why would the Longbo Giant help us?"
"Could it be that the legend is wrong and they are not traitors?"
"Back then, the two secret realms of Yuanjiao and Daiyu were taken away by demons and ghosts. Was it not because they were fishing for turtles, but because of some other hidden reason?"
According to legend, the reason why the two fairy mountains Yuanjiao and Dai disappeared was because the people of Longbo fished away the giant turtle that supported the two fairy mountains, which led to the deaths of countless fairies.
But now it seems that things are by no means as simple as the few words recorded in ancient books.
Just like the ugly woman, the ancient books only say that she was "burned to death within ten days of her birth".
If it weren't for the stories told by Jingwei and Gu, the two parties involved, Su Mu would not have known that although Nüchou died among the ten suns, it was to save the people and create the opportunity for Houyi to shoot down the sun.
Therefore, the story of Long Bo fishing for a turtle may have another explanation.
Unfortunately, this is not a good place to study history. I can only wait for an opportunity in the future to ask the Longbo Giant for advice.
Perhaps we can get a different history from that recorded in ancient books.
