They carefully checked every corner, not missing any clues.
But after some effort, they did not find any trace of Master Huiwu.
There was a tense atmosphere in the temple, and everyone felt uneasy and confused.
Where did Master Huiwu go?
Is he really connected to these evil creatures?
When the action team was searching for Master Huiwu in the temple, Su Muxi also followed them to the back mountain.
On a small hillside in the back mountain, she found that the soil here was the same as the soil on Huiwu's footprints at the door, both black and a little sticky.
So she decided to walk along the back mountain for a while to see if she could find more clues.
She walked carefully, her eyes constantly scanning the surroundings.
Suddenly, she saw two sets of footprints on the ground and was delighted.
She squatted down and looked carefully at the footprints.
She found that one of the footprints was larger and had a longer stride, so it should be Master Huiwu's.
The other set of smaller footprints had smaller strides and should have belonged to a woman.
These two sets of footprints are the same as those in the temple.
"It seems they are running into the mountains." Su Muxi stood up and pointed to the mountain road ahead.
Jiao Peng nodded in agreement, then he reminded: "Then let's catch up and take a look. But everyone must be careful, there may be danger in this mountain."
The group followed the footprints. The mountain road became more and more rugged, and the surrounding trees became more and more dense.
After walking for most of the day, just when everyone was feeling a little tired, they suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the front, like someone whispering.
"Shh..." Su Muxi motioned everyone to stop and whispered, "There seems to be some movement."
Everyone immediately became alert and held the magic weapons in their hands tightly, ready to deal with possible dangers.
Everyone held their breath and moved forward cautiously.
When they got closer, they found that there was a cave in front of them, and the strange sound came from the cave.
Jiao Peng lowered his voice and said, "Master Huiwu is very likely in this cave."
Just as they were about to step into the cave, a cloud of dark mist suddenly emerged from the cave entrance, instantly blocking their way.
A vague figure can be vaguely seen in the black fog, but its face cannot be seen clearly.
Jiao Peng shouted, "Who are you?"
However, the figure in the black fog did not answer, only a creepy laugh was heard.
Immediately afterwards, countless black tentacles stretched out from the black fog and rushed towards them like a gust of wind.
At this moment, Yixuan's voice rang in Su Muxi's ears: "Girl, the black fog is poisonous, quickly activate the defense array."
Su Muxi didn't have time to think about it and immediately called on others to gather around her.
Because the members of the action team had already received instructions from Mr. Niu, if they encountered an unexpected situation, they must first ensure Su Muxi's safety.
When they heard Su Muxi's cry, they gathered around her without any hesitation, and consciously placed her in the center, ready to protect her at any time.
Xu Mingyang and the other three came with Su Muxi. They all knew how powerful Su Muxi was, and they followed Su Muxi's arrangements tacitly.
Upon hearing Su Muxi's call, several people gathered together immediately.
When everyone gathered, Su Muxi quickly took out the tortoise shell from her backpack and injected spiritual power into it.
In an instant, the defense array was activated, forming a transparent protective shield that enveloped everyone.
Su Muxi softly asked Yixuan, "Master, is there poison in that black mist? How can this formation plate actually block the poison?"
Su Muxi's understanding of the defensive array was limited to the fact that it could defend against physical attacks, but he was not sure whether it could block poisonous gases.
However, Yixuan did not respond to Su Muxi's suspicion.
He explained: "This black mist was most likely created by an evil monk, specifically for making poison."
"And this formation plate of mine was created by me and a formation master. Let alone this small poison gas, even if a cultivator from the True Immortal Realm came here, he might not be able to break it in a short time."
"What's more, there are probably no Jindan cultivators on this earth right now, let alone those in the True Immortal Realm."
"As long as you are in this formation, no one can hurt you, so don't worry."
After hearing Yixuan's words, Su Muxi finally felt relieved.
But just in case, she still asked everyone to be prepared and put talismans on themselves to ward off evil spirits.
As Yixuan said, the defensive function of this array plate is very powerful, and it perfectly isolates the black fog outside.
"Hahaha……"
A shrill and arrogant laugh came from the black fog. As the laughter stopped, a bald man in a black robe appeared in the black fog.
Seeing the man's appearance clearly, Jiao Peng couldn't help but ask, "Huiwu?"
Hui Wu looked towards Jiao Peng and said, "Hahaha, it's me."
Hui Wu looked towards Jiao Peng, a hint of teasing flashing in his eyes, "Hahaha, it's me."
His voice was full of sarcasm and disdain, as if he was not surprised by Jiao Peng's arrival.
"I didn't expect you guys to be so quick and actually find this place."
Huiwu's gaze swept across everyone and finally landed on Jiao Peng.
"But do you think you can stop me by finding this place? That's naive."
"Since you are so eager to die, I will not be polite."
"I will treat you well later and let you taste my poison."
As he spoke, the black mist around Huiwu surged up like surging waves, and a greedy look appeared in his eyes, as if he had seen a sumptuous meal.
