Chapter 209 Entering Tianyou Ridge
In her impression, Second Senior Brother Mu Hanxing has always been a man of few words.
But today he was willing to do this kind of work involving dealing with people, which really made her confused.
However, Gao Huohuo did not ask any more questions, but just silently handed the jade pendant to Mu Hanxing.
On the side, Chu Lingchuan, Su Mo and Zhao Feiyue had consciously entered the state of cultivation.
Seeing this, Gao Huohuo couldn't help but feel a little confused: What happened?
When did they become so arrogant? I haven't said anything yet!
Gao Huohuo's gaze turned to Zhong Hanshang again, and happened to meet his eyes.
Gao Huohuo was thinking about the upcoming treasure hunt, but also thought that Zhong Hanshang was an outsider after all.
He calmly asked, "Brother Zhong, is there any treasure you particularly want during this treasure hunt?
If there is, I won’t argue with you when I see it later.”
She had a faint smile on her face and her tone was relaxed and casual, but there was a hint of scrutiny in her eyes.
Zhong Hanshang was slightly stunned, then shook his head and asked:
"I don't have anything in particular I want. What about Senior Sister Gao? Do you have anything you like?"
Gao Huohuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled nonchalantly:
"As for me, I'm not very picky. As long as it's a treasure, I like it."
When Yun heard these words, he couldn't help but be shocked. Fortunately, Gao Huohuo didn't make any excessive demands.
On second thought, perhaps in her eyes, I, a young master of the demon clan in the Jindan stage, am not that important.
However, a doubt grew stronger in his mind - as human beings, why should they work for the demon race?
So, Yun couldn't help but speak out the doubts in his heart.
Hearing Yun's question, Gao Huohuo started to show off his acting skills again.
Gao Huohuo's expression was calm, but a hint of subtle sadness flashed in his eyes. He said slowly:
“Because my mother is a demon, and my father is a human.
When I was little, my mother and I suffered humiliation from the human race. On the contrary, the demon race has always taken good care of us.
What would you do if it were you? "
After hearing this, Yun's mind suddenly became clear and he was about to respond.
But Mu Hanxing came running from a distance with a panicked look on his face and stumbling steps, shouting:
"Junior Sister, run! That guy who reached the Great Perfection of Spiritual Transformation last time is chasing me!"
Before everyone could react, an astonishingly powerful force of incarnation instantly rushed behind Mu Hanxing.
When there was no way to avoid it, Gao Huohuo flew forward without hesitation and stood in front of Mu Hanxing.
"Junior Sister!"
Mu Hanxing's voice trembled with fear, and his heart seemed to be grabbed by an invisible big hand and raised to his throat.
This loud shout instantly woke up Chu Lingchuan, Su Mo and Zhao Feiyue who were meditating and practicing.
"I'm fine! Everyone, hurry into Tianyou Ridge!"
Zhong Hanshang was quick to support the unsteady Gao Huohuo and said anxiously:
"You go first, I'll cover your retreat!"
Zhao Feiyue and Su Mo were extremely anxious and quickly supported Gao Huohuo on the left and right.
He half supported and half dragged her as he ran desperately towards Tianyou Ridge.
Gao Huohuo originally wanted to break free from the two people's support and stay behind with Zhong Hanshang and others to cover their retreat.
But who could have imagined that her acting was so realistic that everyone believed she was seriously injured.
At this moment, he didn't give her any chance to regret and forced her to run all the way.
Chu Lingchuan and Mu Hanxing looked at each other and stopped without hesitation.
He turned around and stood side by side with Zhong Hanshang, intending to stop Yue who was chasing him relentlessly.
"Yue, I order you to stop immediately! Send me back to Xuanyou Palace now!"
Seeing the critical situation, Yun hurriedly shouted orders.
Only when he heard the young master's order did he stop attacking.
But his gaze was fixed on Gao Huohuo who was running away, and the murderous intent in his eyes was like a materialized sharp blade, emanating without any concealment.
He thought to himself, it doesn't matter, as long as he can send the young master back to Xuanyou Palace safely.
I must return to Tianyou Ridge and kill all these ignorant guys.
Seeing Yue stop, Zhong Hanshang and the other two did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately turned around and chased in the direction Gao Huohuo and the others left.
After the six people successfully entered Tianyou Ridge, Gao Huohuo keenly realized that this place was not as simple as they had imagined.
As soon as they stepped in, a gloomy and strange atmosphere hit them in the face, as if countless pairs of eyes hidden in the darkness were peeping at them.
The surrounding trees were tall and twisted, the lines on their trunks like painfully contorted human faces.
It rustles in the wind, as if whispering an unknown secret.
There was a thin layer of mist on the ground, which seemed gentle but emitted a faint pungent stench of decay.
From time to time, strange lights flashed in the fog, making people shudder.
Gao Huohuo suddenly became alert and immediately sent a message to Hao through his magical power, admonishing him:
"Hao, you don't need to come in, this place is extremely dangerous.
You stay outside and keep a close eye on Dong's every move. If there's anything unusual, notify me immediately."
After sending the message, Gao Huohuo turned around and said solemnly to the five people around him:
"My dear brothers and sisters, although Tianyou Ridge appears peaceful, it actually hides a mystery. I'm afraid the treasure hunt ahead will be filled with difficulties.
For safety reasons, we should work in teams of two and look out for each other. We must not take it lightly."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded solemnly.
Soon, the teams were divided. Gao Huohuo and Zhao Feiyue formed a team, Chu Lingchuan and Mu Hanxing formed a group, and Zhong Hanshang partnered with Su Mo.
The six of them walked in pairs, cautiously heading towards the depths of Tianyou Ridge.
He took every step with extreme caution, his eyes vigilantly observing the movements around him.
They also held their weapons tightly, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.
As the six people gradually went deeper into Tianyou Ridge, the already gloomy environment became even more depressing.
The fog around me grew thicker and thicker, almost blocking my vision. I could only barely see a few steps in front of me.
Gao Huohuo and Zhao Feiyue's team were groping forward cautiously.
Suddenly, Zhao Feiyue slipped and almost fell.
Gao Huohuo was quick to catch her, but found that the ground was wet and had a fishy smell.
"Be careful, there's something wrong with the ground." Gao Huohuo reminded in a low voice.
As soon as the words fell, countless slender black shadows emerged from the ground and crawled towards them quickly.
Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be poisonous pythons as thick as arms.
Their scales flashed with a strange cold light, and their tongues came out of their mouths, making a hissing sound.
"Junior sister, retreat quickly!" Zhao Feiyue shouted, drew out her sword, and slashed at the poisonous python.
Gao Huohuo also quickly cast a spell, and rays of spiritual power shot towards the poisonous pythons, repelling them.
However, there were too many poisonous pythons, and they kept emerging from the ground and surrounded the two of them.
At the same time, Chu Lingchuan and Mu Hanxing's team also encountered trouble.
A huge black stone wall suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their way.
Just as they were trying to find a way to bypass the stone wall, distorted ghost faces began to appear on the wall, emitting bursts of shrill cries.
These ghost faces seemed to have life, constantly struggling and twisting, trying to break free from the constraints of the stone wall.
"What the hell is this thing?" Chu Lingchuan frowned, gathered his spiritual power in his hands, and hit the stone wall hard.
However, this blow seemed to fall on deaf ears, and the stone wall remained motionless.
