The four people were acting suspiciously; they moved slowly and didn't say a word.
He looked down at the ground, searching for the few magical beasts on the outskirts, but his real intention was to slowly retreat to the back of the group and then quietly set off from another direction to enter the depths of the magical beast mountain range.
They seized the opportunity, glanced at their accomplices in several directions, nodded in acknowledgment, and then resolutely left without a sound. The disciples in front did not notice, and Senior Brother Song, who was walking at the very front, was even more unaware.
Looking at the dense forest around them, with its swaying shadows, Song Wu felt as if they were walking in darkness, with each step they took hidden by the trees.
They had been wandering around this area for a long time, and Song Wu noticed that everyone was getting tired.
He shouted, "Everyone, let's rest the way we came! We'll discuss with the Sword Sect later and head deeper into the Monster Mountain Range together."
"yes……"
Those people finally put down the weapons they were carrying and sat down on the ground without any hesitation.
With this relaxation, the disciples of Wuyou Pavilion started chattering.
"So tired? Why not just go straight into the depths of the Monster Mountain Range? Why waste so much time wandering around the outskirts?"
"Keep your voice down, isn't it because of what those cultivators said earlier? There will be riotous magical beasts on the road, but the ones on the outskirts are mostly weak magical beasts that pose no threat to us. They can kill us in no time."
"Um……"
Song Wu sat on a rock and glanced at his disciples.
He raised his hand and summoned a junior brother.
"Come here and take a headcount now. See if anyone is missing."
"yes!"
The disciple then went to ask for the number of people to be counted.
"...Twenty-one, twenty-two..."
"Oh no, four disciples are missing!"
After the man finished counting, he discovered that four people were missing. He was somewhat panicked, wondering if they had been captured by monsters.
"Senior Brother Song! Senior Brother Song! Something terrible has happened, four people are missing..."
Upon hearing this news, Song Wu stood up instantly, carefully examined his disciples, and discovered that the four missing were the same four he had persuaded to stay. A hint of anger appeared on his face as he gripped his magical artifact tightly.
Without saying a word, he quickly walked over to Xie Zhou.
"Junior Sister Xie, there is something I need to trouble you with. Four disciples of Wuyou Pavilion are currently missing. I'm afraid they might have rushed into the depths of the Monster Mountain Range in their haste, so I'll leave the remaining disciples in your care. I'm going to find them now."
"They're all in your hands now!"
After saying that, he hurriedly walked into the depths of the Monster Mountain Range.
Xie Zhou also looked puzzled, but he reluctantly accepted the task.
They joined forces with the disciples of the Sword Sect and the Worry-Free Pavilion.
At this moment, Wuyou Pavilion also saw that Senior Brother Song Wu suddenly left and walked into the depths of the Monster Mountain Range.
"Senior Brother Song, are you going to find those four?"
"Four people are missing. Quickly, find out which four are missing!"
The disciples of Wuyou Pavilion were somewhat flustered and looked around at the other disciples.
"It's those four arrogant guys from before. Although they have some skills, they..."
"Wuyi and Xiaxia..."
Senior Brother Song took his weapon and found a talisman, intending to find the aura of the Worry-Free Pavilion. However, the closer he got to the depths of the Monster Mountain Range, the more mixed the aura became, rendering the talisman useless.
Senior Brother Song had no choice but to follow the trail and footprints to find the four disciples.
Meanwhile, the four disciples were trapped in a forest shrouded in mist.
"Senior brother, this place feels eerie, I'm a little scared..."
"What's there to be afraid of? It's just smoke. Let's keep going. There aren't any monsters along the way, are there? Don't worry."
The junior disciple shrank back at the back of the line, wishing he could cling to the person in front of him, his cautious eyes darting around as he looked around.
I dared not look, yet I wanted to, so I covered my eyes with my fingers, leaving only a slit, and watched the surrounding environment gradually darken.
Senior Brother Song carefully observed the footprints on the road and followed the four disciples of Wuyou Pavilion.
His brows furrowed even more; the atmosphere around him was strange, very strange!
“These four are such a handful. We told them not to go, but they still went anyway.”
This route leads deeper and deeper into the Monster Mountain Range.
Meanwhile, the disciples of Wuyou Pavilion who were waiting for the group in the Monster Mountain Range were getting anxious.
"Do you think Senior Brother Song can safely bring all four of them back?"
"Definitely."
"But so much time has passed, and they still haven't returned, not even a single word?"
"Why don't we quickly take a few people in and go find them?"
"If we rush in, and Senior Brother Song finds out, he'll definitely give us a dressing down again?"
"I wonder how Senior Brother Song is doing now? Has he safely entered the depths of the Monster Beast Mountain Range?"
"Why don't we just go in? Who cares about safety? Wasn't the whole point of this mission to hunt magical beasts? If we don't even have the courage to venture deep into the Magical Beast Mountain Range, what are we even doing here?"
"Let's go in!"
"Walk!"
The disciples of Wuyou Pavilion also got up and prepared to head deeper into the Monster Mountain Range.
Seeing their behavior, Xie Zhou immediately stopped them.
"Stop right there! I told you to stay where you are and not move. Do you want to cause more trouble?"
She instructed everyone to wait where they were, but the disciples of the Worry-Free Pavilion disobeyed her orders.
