The sound of conch shells echoed throughout the mountain stream.
This time, Lin Ce exerted great effort, and the sound of the conch shell was far louder than the previous attempt.
Suddenly, a beast's cry rang out from outside the mountain stream.
However, the scream was erratic, seemingly coming from three different directions at one moment, making it difficult to distinguish.
At the same time, the many drug users who had been in a state of excitement suddenly calmed down and stood there looking somewhat confused.
"Where is the miracle drug?"
Once they snapped out of their daze, the medicine apprentices' expressions changed drastically.
They looked around and saw that the mountain stream was still there, but the miraculous herbs that used to be everywhere were nowhere to be seen.
Was the miraculous medicine I saw everywhere just an illusion?
The sound of the conch shell continued, waking everyone in the escort agency, including the medicine apprentice.
In their eyes, there were no longer any miracle cures everywhere.
"Chief镖师 Lin, what's going on?"
The manager of Baicao Sect was shocked.
"We might be being watched."
"Being targeted? Being targeted by what?"
The manager of Baicao Sect was startled.
In fact, he already had the answer in his heart.
The images of the nearly one hundred corpses that had been lying before him flashed before his eyes, sending a chill down his spine.
What else could be capable of causing so many people to fall into hallucinations, besides a strange and powerful demon?
"Manager, I know you're panicking, but don't panic."
Lin Ce waved to the bodyguard Shang Shaofeng and said to the two of them, "Gather the medicine apprentices together first. Shaofeng, you lead everyone to protect the medicine apprentices. Keep things stable. No matter what you hear or see, do not leave this area."
As he spoke, he blew the "clear sound conch" again.
After Shang Shaofeng led the other teenagers to protect the medicine apprentices, Lin Ce summoned Li Qingshan and Yu Jiu.
"You all come with me and explore the surrounding area. Be careful not to stray too far; keep your distance until you can hear my conch shell."
Li Qingshan said nothing, his body already drifting away like dust.
He chose a direction from which the animal's howls had just been heard.
When faced with a challenge, he truly dares to step up and never backs down.
"Then go to the left, and remember to be careful."
Yu Jiu, of course, needs no introduction. She was the one who brought out the "Qingyin Snail," so she knew very well what to pay attention to.
Lin Ce also set off, choosing the third direction opposite to the two of them.
These three directions are all from which the cries of beasts once came.
His lightness skill was not as graceful as Li Qingshan's; with just one step, he would fly out like a boulder as the rocks beneath his feet shattered.
Lin Ce's speed was astonishing. In just a moment, he had already leaped a great distance in that direction and explored a large area.
But nothing was gained.
It can be confirmed that, at least at this moment, there are no abnormalities within a certain range in this direction.
He himself understood "sea mirages" and knew that for this method of creating illusions to be effective, the entity that used it could not be too far away.
"Woo~ woo~"
Maintaining the spiral sound, he sped off in another direction.
That was the direction Li Qingshan had left in.
This guy is great in every way, except he can be a bit disobedient sometimes.
Even if I give him a thousand and one warnings, I'm afraid he'll still blindly rush forward if something happens.
Although this guy has always liked to go against me and is always clamoring to take over my position as the chief镖头 (chief镖师, head镖师, head镖师), to be fair, at least in terms of the镖局 (镖局 is a type of镖局 is a type of镖师, meaning镖师, meaning镖师, and head ...
In just a moment, Lin Ce streaked across the sky like a shooting star, flying over the crowd who were on guard again.
He quickly caught up with Li Qingshan.
As expected, that guy ignored what he had said earlier and had already rushed out of the range of the "Clear Sound Conch".
"Don't go forward, turn around."
Lin Ce shouted from afar.
"You've arrived? Perfect timing."
Li Qingshan turned around and called out, "I just spotted a demon. It's running away. If the two of us join forces, that thing will have nowhere to escape."
"We can't chase them anymore, there are still people behind us."
Lin Ce shook his head and seriously tried to dissuade Li Qingshan.
He couldn't possibly follow Li Qingshan any further.
When the "Clear Sound Conch" is blown, the range of its sound is limited, and he must ensure that the caravan behind him is within the range of the sound.
"..."
Although Li Qingshan was somewhat unwilling, he eventually stopped.
For him, it was unacceptable to put the rest of the escort agency in danger just to chase after demons.
A young hero from a prominent sect should have this kind of responsibility.
The two returned together.
"You keep an eye on them, I'm going over there."
For some reason, Lin Ce was unwilling to let Li Qingshan go with him to Yu Jiu's direction.
In the end, Li Qingshan stopped where the escort agency members were, while Lin Ce continued in the last direction.
Logically speaking, since traces of demons have been discovered in Li Qingshan's direction, there should be no problem in Yu Jiu's direction.
But at this moment, as he moved forward, a strange thought inexplicably arose in Lin Ce's mind.
He vaguely sensed that something different was waiting for him ahead, in the direction Yu Jiu was heading.
When Yu Jiu's figure appeared before him, Lin Ce's expression changed slightly.
From afar, he could see Yu Jiu wielding his long staff with a whooshing sound, demonstrating the "Wave-Turning Staff Technique" to its fullest extent.
There's nothing wrong with that.
However, there was no one around Yu Jiu, no matter where the long staff struck.
She was just attacking the air.
"Ooh~"
Lin Ce blew the "Clear Sound Conch" once again.
Needless to say, Yu Jiu was clearly in a hallucination.
The three split up and chased in three different directions, and it turned out that Yu Jiu's side encountered the main character.
Lin Ce was not overly panicked.
This is actually a good thing.
When you encounter someone who is good at creating illusions, the only problem is that you might not be able to find the real culprit. Once you do find them, things will actually become simpler.
The conch shell made a loud noise, and Yu Jiu abruptly stopped waving his stick. He turned around and saw Lin Ce, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
Another animal's cry rang out from the nearby woods.
This time, it also came from three different directions.
The sound came from the surrounding dense forest, and it was obviously much closer than last time.
Lin Ce was prepared. The moment the scream rang out, his other hand lashed out like a phantom, throwing out a large number of stones almost simultaneously.
It was the hidden weapon technique "Meteor Flying Stone" that he learned from Li Qingshan.
A large number of stones, like arrows shot from a powerful bow, shot into the forest in an instant, heading in the three directions from which the screams came.
"Aww~"
The stone traveled with tremendous force and actually hit its target. From one of the three directions, the roar of a beast could be heard again.
Lin Ce completely disregarded the martial arts rule of not entering forests, and directly pushed off the ground, rushing straight into the jungle like a tiger.
