There was even a hint of expectation in Bai He's words.
Zhongdi could hear it, and nodded in response to his expectation, saying, "Nine out of ten times, it's correct."
"That's great." Bai He breathed a sigh of relief, a look of excitement on his face.
Zhongdi did not tell him that they suspected that the fellow might succumb to the majesty of the human race. This was just their guess and there was no need to let Baihe know. They shared their worries and only hoped that they would not be disappointed.
Zhongdi is a relatively calm person and won't say many things, but in his heart he actually hopes to meet someone of the same kind again.
The gold-eating beasts cannot afford any more losses. Their population has been reduced from tens of thousands to only a single digit. They have experienced too much hope and despair.
"Let's go. Let's take the one chasing us away first. The farther they are from Xuan Xiao's location, the safer they will be."
"good."
The two gold-eating beasts took action again and suddenly carried the white crane on their backs. They were so fast that the humans and demons chasing them from behind could not catch up even if they knew the direction they were escaping.
A big tree was suddenly knocked down with a loud bang, and the fallen tree revealed Gu Luochun's angry face.
"What's going on? Aren't these gold-eating beasts said to be very warlike? Why don't they take the initiative to fight us every time?" Gu Luo's face was very gloomy.
They had been chasing for several days and nights, and had thought that the problem could be solved within the next day, but now they couldn't even catch up with the money-eating beast.
"It's quite strange." said the swordsman.
City Lord Ning said with a serious expression: "The gold-devouring beasts before would obviously take the initiative to attack. Their dignity is so strong that they would not flee without a fight. Something must have happened that we don't know about."
If it were the gold-eating beasts that fought against them a few days ago, they would probably have fought to the death by now. You must know that gold-eating beasts are proud, and they will never allow themselves to show any cowardice in front of humans or demons. This is because the gold-eating beasts are the descendants of the Demon God, and the blood of the Demon God flows in their bodies. As the descendants of the Demon God, how could they bring shame to the Demon God? Therefore, their plan could succeed.
But once the gold-eating beast has lost this 'weakness' and is determined to escape from their encirclement, it will be difficult for them to capture it. Unless they find more people to cooperate with them, it will be difficult for them to stop the gold-eating beast with just a few people.
"Speaking of which, I have a question." The swordsman suddenly said.
Everyone looked at him, "What's the doubt?"
"Didn't this gold-eating beast get poisoned by City Lord Ning's strange incense? The strange incense also contains poison added by City Lord Ning. Logically, the strength of this gold-eating beast should have been greatly reduced. But why is it still so fast?" The swordsman looked at everyone and said calmly.
"I have the same question." Gu Luochun also looked at City Lord Ning.
City Lord Ning was the one who mentioned the strange incense and poison. In fact, they only knew about the strange incense and didn't know about the poison.
"City Lord Ning, I remember that the exotic incense seems to have a paralyzing effect. Is it because the dosage you put in is not strong enough? Or is it that the gold-eating beast did not fall into our trap completely?" A gray-robed monk also asked.
"Impossible. I had made complete preparations for this plan. I am sure he fell in." City Lord Ning couldn't figure out the problem either.
"City Lord Qin and the others are also nearby, with the people from Zixiao Sect. Could it be that..." The gray-robed monk suddenly paused.
Gu Luochun narrowed his eyes, "Could it be that they are secretly helping the gold-devouring beast? I remember that the antidote to the strange saliva fragrance is only possessed by City Lord Ning's family. Could it be that they got the antidote?"
"The strange saliva fruits are never given to outsiders. I would not know how much they have in stock. It is impossible for them to have strange saliva fruits. I am sure that after the monster was poisoned by the strange saliva, even if it can still move after two hours, its speed cannot be so fast that we cannot catch up, unless..." City Lord Ning's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam of light.
"Unless what?" everyone asked immediately.
City Lord Ning's eyes were filled with heat. "Unless there is someone else around him, another monster, or..."
Everyone thought of what he had thought of and took a deep breath of disbelief.
"There are only a handful of gold-devouring beasts that survived in Lingtian Continent and the Demon Battlefield. Could it be the second gold-devouring beast?"
They have always thought that there was only one gold-devouring beast in Yizhangling, and the number of gold-devouring beasts that still exist is extremely small. In the past few hundred years, almost no one has seen any trace of the gold-devouring beast, so they dare not imagine the possibility of the existence of a second gold-devouring beast.
"It may not be impossible!" Gu Luochun, who had studied gold-devouring beasts, said with a heavy breath, "Gold-devouring beasts are actually social creatures in nature. If there are really similar beasts, they will definitely find a way to get together. Moreover, after the fall of the Demon God, the powerful monsters under his command fell apart. The reason why gold-devouring beasts are so rare now is because of the betrayal of these powerful monsters. It is difficult for gold-devouring beasts to trust other monsters now, and it is unlikely that they will mix with powerful monsters from other tribes. And how can monsters that are not strong enough escape our pursuit?"
"Brother Gu is right. If there really are two gold-eating beasts, it would be a good thing for us." said the swordsman.
No one responded immediately after hearing this, as everyone had their own ulterior motives.
If there is only one gold-eating beast, in the end only one of them can get it, and they will have to fight hard for it. But it will be different if there are two. They will have more chances and fewer opponents, so the pressure will naturally be much less.
"The problem now is, how are we going to deal with the other one of the two gold-eating beasts? Even if we have severely damaged one of them, if that gold-eating beast never confronts us head-on, we will be helpless against them." City Lord Ning said in a deep voice.
Gu Luochun pondered for a moment, "We can only find other people to cooperate with us. If we separate, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop the two gold-eating beasts. I have a suggestion."
"Brother Gu, please speak."
"Let's cooperate with the Jishang Sect and the Xiannv Sect. It is said that the person leading the Jishang Sect this time is Ying Yangyao." Gu Luochun said.
The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and City Lord Ning broke the silence.
"Ying Yangyao is at the Great Perfection of the Spiritual Transformation Stage. I heard that he may be about to break through, and it is possible at any time. Do you want to cooperate with him?"
"If it's a gold-eating beast, then of course it can't." Gu Luochun said. Ying Yangyao was too strong. It was rumored that when he was in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation, he killed a strong man who was in the great perfection of the Spirit Transformation, and he did it by exchanging injuries for injuries. That's why he was known as the strongest under the fusion. It was said that the only one who could compare with him was Bai Dongtian of the Zixiao Sect.
Bai Dongtian is also a powerful person who has reached the great perfection of the spirit transformation, and his strength is also extremely powerful. The two have never fought head-on, so no one knows who is more powerful.
Gu Luochun didn't finish his words, but everyone understood what he meant. With two gold-eating beasts, even if Ying Yangyao snatched one of them, they still had a chance. Although doing so would add a strong opponent to them, if they did not cooperate with them, they would most likely end up with nothing.
After everyone agreed, they stopped chasing the two gold-eating beasts and started to contact the Supreme Sect and the Fairy Sect. As long as the strange incense on Bai He's body was not eliminated, he would not be able to escape from their grasp. The antidote to eliminate the strange incense was only found in City Lord Ning.
The important troops later discovered that the powerful human race who had been chasing them relentlessly were no longer chasing them, but they did not dare to be careless. It was because of Bai He's carelessness that he fell into their trap.
Then, signal smoke appeared in the sky above Yizhangling.
In a dense forest, Ying Yangyao, who was feared by everyone, raised his head and looked towards the sky the moment the signal smoke appeared.
"Whose signal is this?" he asked.
An elder with a black beard came over, took a look and said, "It's a signal from Ning Songcheng. I remember that Ning Songcheng is the owner of the Alien Saliva Tree. The Alien Saliva Tree secreted by it has a miraculous effect on monsters. He suddenly sent out a signal, as if to tell others his location. There was news before that Lord Ning and Gu Luochun had cooperated, and it seemed that he had found the gold-devouring beast. Could he be looking for help?"
"Then let's go and see. If we can really find the Gold-Eating Beast through them, it will save us the effort of looking for it." Ying Yangyao said proudly. He was not worried at all that they would not be able to snatch the Gold-Eating Beast because of their large numbers.
At the same time, people from the Fairy Sect and other sects also recognized that the signal was released by City Lord Ning. Like the Supreme Sect, most people thought of the exotic aromatic tree, and some immediately rushed in that direction.
"It's Ning Hongtian's signal. What does he want to do?" City Lord Qin looked up at the signal that had just disappeared and frowned. He was even more worried whether this was a trap set for him.
"No matter what he wants to do, there must be more than just us who saw the signal. The others don't have the same concerns as us and have most of them already rushed over. I don't think he would be stupid enough to set such an obvious trap. But the people he wants to summon won't be us either." The white-robed monk with a sword behind him walked over and said. It was Hou Wanshan, the master of Luojian Peak.
"Should we go over and take a look?" City Lord Qin asked. To be honest, his life was saved by Hou Wanshan. If he hadn't arrived at that time, he would probably be in great danger.
"Go!" Hou Wanshan's eyes sparkled.
"Just as I thought." City Lord Qin smiled. If the clues they found were the same, Ning Hongtian probably no longer had the energy to set a trap to lure him into the trap.
Hou Wanshan frowned slightly, "Except for Ning Hongtian, there is no movement from the demons. I am worried that they are plotting something."
"When the enemy comes, we will fight them with our soldiers; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. All we can do now is to be careful." City Lord Qin said.
"Let's go then." Hou Wanshan replied.
…
"What's going on?" Xuan Xiao ignored the signal in the distance and focused on getting on his way. He didn't expect that there was a sudden movement in front of him. When he got closer and found a hidden place to observe, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
