Ah Jiang was cursing inwardly. She never expected that her undercover mission, which she thought would be a dull and uneventful one, would be so exciting.
The problem is that she still has a year to recover her spiritual power!
Ignoring everything else, Ah Jiang, who was hiding at the back, summoned the demon bear.
The demon bear is now at the mid-stage of the sixth rank, and its body has grown to three zhang tall. As soon as Mo appeared, it attracted the spider's attention.
The demonic bear glanced at the crowd and exhaled a burst of demonic energy from its nostrils.
It was ambushed and was very resentful of that low-level Qi Refining disciple.
This person appeared suddenly, and since everyone present was either a mortal or a spider monster, they couldn't find him for a moment.
The demon bear roared at the spider.
A foul-smelling wind blew up, and a strange, eerie atmosphere suddenly arose in the dark forest.
Although the human-faced spider had gained some skill, it was still no match for the demon bear.
It roared a few times, and seeing that the demon bear showed no sign of retreating, it gathered its offspring and slowly retreated back into the darkness.
Ajahn gave the demon bear orders to roam the mountains and collect demonic beasts.
There are formations in Huanling Mountain that suppress demonic beasts, but the demonic bear is Ajiang's spirit beast and has no restrictions within its body, so it moves freely.
"Mount Huanling, isn't this my blessed land?"
She beckoned to Xiao Hei: "Follow the demon bear, hey, we're all family now, what demon or not, follow Xiong Lan, the one from just now."
A-Jiang pointed at the departing figure of the demon bear and took out a seal: "You can seal anything below the third rank. For ranks 3-6, let Xiong Lan beat you before you seal it."
Xiao Hei nodded and followed.
Ajahn summoned the Wind-Chasing Rabbit, Bluebird, Black Snake, Wind-Winged Tiger, and other creatures that could help, calling them to join in the assistance.
"Next, I will hide among these people and not say a word or do anything extra."
"Let the bullets fly for a while!"
In the darkness, everyone was filled with unease, and no one noticed Ah Jiang's subtle actions.
After calming down, the group realized there were no more monsters threatening them, so they found a cave to rest and spend the night.
The forest only returned to silence when the sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn.
Pushing aside the rocks and vines, the people inside the cave gradually emerged.
There were many animal footprints all around. The animals had lingered in the vicinity for a long time and ultimately did not choose to attack the cave, which was undoubtedly their good fortune.
"Waaah, I don't want to participate in the trial anymore, let's go home together!"
"I'm afraid we can't go back," a thin boy said.
"The immortal said this is the third trial, and there must be traps in this trial ground. We can't leave even if we want to."
“Qiangzi is right,” Zhao Dapang also stepped forward and said, “I heard that cultivation sects have a trial to recruit disciples, and only after passing the trial can the immortals accept them as disciples.”
The room fell silent for a moment, until the sound of a rumbling stomach broke the silence.
"Let's stop thinking about this and go find some food." This suggestion was agreed upon by everyone.
After some preparation, under Yang Wei's arrangement, they were divided into three teams, each with more than a dozen people, to explore in three directions, looking for water, food, firewood, and safe refuge ropes, and to return here to regroup at noon.
"Don't eat wild fruits you don't recognize, be careful of wild animals around when you come across a water source, and don't drink directly from it; boil it first," Yang Wei told everyone, sharing his experience. "Most importantly, pay attention to safety and don't go out alone."
The woods were bathed in the bright morning sunlight, filled with the chirping of insects and the calls of birds, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
The mountains were lush with vegetation, and they gathered some edible wild fruits and vegetables. As for the fruits they couldn't identify, they took a few with them and would try to identify them when they had time.
Along the way, apart from seeing some rabbits and squirrels, they did not encounter any large wild animals, so everyone gradually relaxed.
Another hour passed without any further discoveries. Seeing that the sun was approaching noon, everyone prepared to return to the cave.
Feng Luo and Lü Huanhuan walked behind, and Liu Guifang turned around and grabbed Lü Huanhuan, saying, "My stomach hurts a little, and I need to go to the toilet. Will you come with me?"
"Didn't we leave time this morning? Why are you... ...Did you sneak some food?"
"Hey, don't ask so many questions. I have other food in my bag. If you come with me, I'll give you some later."
Lu Huanhuan hesitated for a moment, looked around and saw that there was nothing unusual, so she told Pang Longhan, and the three of them went together. The group stopped to rest.
Liu Guifang took the lead and walked towards a lush area to the left. Lü Huanhuan and Feng Luo walked behind her hand in hand, stopping to wait for her after walking a short distance.
"Ahhh, so many bugs, and dead people! Run!" A figure screamed as she ran out; it was Liu Guifang.
Lu Huanhuan and Feng Luo were confused, but seeing the other's terrified expression, they didn't bother to ask anything and the three of them ran away quickly.
The insects behind me emerged densely from the grass, their black shells adorned with red patterns, each about the size of a thumbnail. They crawled very fast, surging outwards like a black tide, before disappearing into other dark corners.
After running for a while and seeing that nothing was chasing them, they stopped running and looked back with lingering fear.
As Liu Guifang's fear subsided slightly, she remembered the corpse she had seen and leaned against a tree, vomiting.
