Ling Ning was startled, her chivalrous heart suddenly aroused, and she instinctively chased after the screams.

The sound sounded close, but in fact it was far away. After about half an hour, he finally saw a bit of light. It turned out to be three small wooden huts, presumably the residences of hunters in the mountains.

He touched the door, and the sound had disappeared, leaving only the dim candlelight in the room. He was hesitating whether to go in, when suddenly a man's voice came from inside: "Who is outside?"

Ling Ning frowned and could only push the door open, only to see two young men in white sitting opposite each other drinking. They had long swords behind their backs. They were obviously not ordinary people.

What shocked him most was that there were three corpses lying around, a young hunter and an old couple, both of whom had died of exhaustion.

The handsome young man on the right saw him looking at the corpse on the ground and said, "Brother, don't be offended. I was chasing the fox demon in the mountains and found it when I heard the screams. I didn't expect it to be too late."

The tall and thin young man on the left with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks said: "Brother Guan's temperament seems to be a practitioner. Can I call you Taoist friend?"

Ling Ning withdrew his gaze. After experiencing the great changes, he had become much calmer and would no longer trust others easily. He could see that there were signs of struggle here, and there were no obvious wounds on the people on the ground. They seemed to have been killed by Taoism. These two

Personal suspicion is high.

Just as he was about to speak, the curtain of the east wing was raised, and a burly man walked out with his chest exposed.

Ling Ning took a glance and saw the disheveled woman on the bed in the back room, who had obviously been ravaged just now.

He was secretly surprised. He had been practicing diligently since he was a child and had never gone down the mountain alone. This was his first time walking outside alone. He did not expect to encounter such unheard of things. He had calmed down a lot, although he knew that this

The three of them were all thugs who committed crimes, but the other party had a large number of people, so he didn't know the depth and didn't dare to attack easily.

Seeing that he seemed to have noticed something, the handsome young man hurriedly said: "This is my fellow junior fellow apprentice."

Ling Ning forced himself to calm down, smiled and said with cupped hands: "I'm glad to meet you. I see that you are all dressed in extraordinary clothes. Are you disciples of the five major sects?"

The man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks was about to speak, but the handsome young man said first: "Exactly, didn't you know that You Ke is also a disciple of the five major sects?"

Ling Ning's appearance has changed, and his cultivation aura has been hidden as much as possible. He now only looks like a down-and-out scholar.

"I am of low cultivation, how can I be honored to join the five major sects? This time I want to go to Xiyue Shuiyue Tian to try my luck."

The handsome young man looked at the aura on his body and found that he was indeed of low cultivation. Moreover, his face was full of desolation, and he was not suspicious. He just said "Oh" and stopped talking.

Just when he was neither entering nor retreating, he suddenly heard a clear female voice outside the door: "Excuse me, are the three senior brothers here?"

The handsome young man was overjoyed when he heard the sound, and hurriedly ran out to greet him: "Junior sister Ruoxue, why are you here? Huh? Junior sister Nangong is here too."

"Senior Brother Zhong, Sister Hong and I followed the screams here, but the fox demon committed another crime?"

Nangong Hong was dressed in red and looked quite hot. She seemed to have a quick temper. She rushed into the wooden house following the smell of blood and yelled: "Junior sister Ruoxue, this fox demon has indeed committed another crime! The Orion family has suffered a lot.

Poisonous hand!"

The girl named Ruoxue had a pretty face and gave off a feeling of noble birth. She was startled and quickly went into the room to check. However, she hesitated slightly when she saw the tragic death of the woman in the back room. Nangong Hong did not pay attention.

Asked: "Senior Brother Zhong Kun, Fang Yu, Zhou Wu, you arrived here first, why didn't you stop the fox demon from committing murder? Who is this person?"

The handsome young man at the head was obviously Zhong Kun. He said, "Junior sister Nangong, please don't be impatient. When I waited, the fox demon had already fled. As for this Taoist brother... I just met him by chance, and I don't know his name yet."

Ling Ning said quickly: "Ah Qi, I'm just a casual cultivator, and I came here after hearing the screams."

Nangong Hong nodded and said: "My name is Nangong Hong, and this is junior sister Ruoxue. I think we need to chase the fox demon as soon as possible to prevent her from committing another crime. If she escapes again, I will lose the face of the Qing disciples."

It’s all gone.”

When she said "Shangqing sect", Ling Ning knew that the other party was one of the five major sects and was a disciple of the Shangqing sect in the Zhongsheng Empire.

"Chasing? How to chase? It's night, Junior Sister Nangong, and the fox demon's cultivation level is not inferior to ours. What if a trap is laid?"

"Fang Yu, you are too cowardly. Am I just going to watch the fox demon do evil?"

It turns out that the young man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks is called Fang Yu, and the other burly man with a strong back and a strong back is obviously Zhou Wu.

"Huh, that's better than running around like a headless fly!" Zhou Wu remained silent, and then he said a sentence in a rough voice.

"you……"

"Okay, okay! Stop arguing! Junior Sister Ruoxue, Senior Brother, I am a few years older and have a little more experience than Junior Sister. In my opinion, I will rest here tonight and chase the fox demon tomorrow.

What do you think?"

Ruoxue seemed to have something on her mind and could only say: "Then just listen to senior brother first."

There are corpses in the wooden house. It is inconvenient for a few people to live there anymore, so they can only light a bonfire in front of the house and sit around. They are all practitioners. They only need to meditate quietly to rest their minds and fall asleep, and they do not need any beds.

After a night of silence, Ling Ning woke up first at dawn the next day and saw morning mist rising in the forest. He thought it was a normal phenomenon in the mountains and forests, so he ignored it and closed his eyes to rest.

An hour later, Ruoxue suddenly said: "Everyone! Wake up quickly, there is something wrong with this mist!"

Everyone was startled and quickly opened their eyes, only to see that the fog in the forest did not disperse but became thicker. Things five meters away became blurry.

Zhong Kun frowned and said: "No, this is an ambush by the enemy! This mist is caused by Taoism!"

Several people stood up and formed a circle unconsciously, back to back. They each drew their weapons and were alert to the movements around them.

Suddenly, a woman's voice seemed to come from all directions, "Zhong Kun, Fang Yu, Zhou Wu, you three unscrupulous, evil-doing bastards, if you fell into my formation today, why don't you hurry up and arrest them, otherwise, huh?"

Humph, don’t blame me for being rude!"

The faces of several people changed, and Fang Yu said: "It's the voice of the fox demon!"

Ling Ning was also slightly startled. This voice seemed familiar to him.

Nangong Hong said loudly: "Bah! It's you, the fox demon, who is guilty of so many crimes! I'll wait for the Shangqing Sect to do justice for heaven, why don't you show your true colors quickly!"

The fox demon sneered slightly when he heard this and said: "I am only looking for bad luck for the three of them, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. It is really unreasonable for the two of you to entangle me indiscriminately! Since it has nothing to do with these three people, quickly

Back away, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Before Nangong Hong could speak, Zhong Kun said first: "You shameless fox demon, don't try to divide us, I and the others will do justice for God today! Huh, hiding one's head and showing one's tail is nothing. If you have the ability, stand up and fight one on one.

Son!"

Ling Ning secretly scolded this guy for being too cunning. He said that even an outsider like him would be implicated, and there was no way he could do it without a fight.

The fox demon snorted several times and stopped talking.

At this time, there was a rustling sound from the surrounding dense forest, like white insects crawling, and then there was a low, weeping cry, like the cry of a female ghost, and there was also the roar of wild beasts, and the roar of a certain Ming.

...These strange noises came from all directions from time to time. Several people only heard the sound but not the shadow, and they became increasingly anxious.

Suddenly, a figure passed by a tree. Nangong Hong couldn't hold back her temper for a long time. She drew her sword and chased after him with a quick step!

"Sister Hong, don't chase me!"

Ruoxue wanted to catch her but it was too late. Nangonghong's shadow fell into the thick fog and was never seen again.

She was concerned about Nangong Hong's safety and said anxiously: "Sister Hong has fallen into a trap! What should we do? Let's go and save her!"

Zhong Kun said, "Junior sister Ruoxue, don't worry. If we step into the fog, the demon fox will find a way to break us up. When she breaks them down one by one, we will be doomed."

"Of course I know the enemy's thoughts, but...how can I leave Sister Hong alone..."

Before she finished speaking, a scream came from the depths of the jungle, it was Nangong Hong!

"Sister Hong's voice! Something must have happened to her, we must save her!"

Although Ruoxue was eager to save people, Zhong Kun and the others had no intention of doing so. She could only turn her attention to Ling Ning.

Ling Ning secretly told me that I won't accompany you to death, and don't ignore her too much.

Ruoxue bit her silver teeth and said, "Okay! If you don't go, I will!"

Seeing how determined she was, Ling Ning didn't want to get involved in the fight, but he still said softly: "Wait a minute, let's find a way to disperse the fog."

Ruoxue's eyes filled with hope and she asked, "What can you do?"

Ling Ning sighed and said: "You only need to use wind and fire spells to form a vortex and evaporate the surrounding fog."

Ruoxue said hurriedly: "That makes sense! Without further ado, Senior Brother Zhong asks you to use the Fireball Technique, and I will use the Hurricane Technique to cooperate with you."

At that moment, the two of them each made several hand seals, and a huge fireball roared out from Zhong Kun's palm. Then Ruoxue summoned a hurricane, and the fire took advantage of the wind to burn more violently. In an instant, the surrounding fog was dispersed, and the vision became much clearer.

.

But the good times didn't last long, and the surrounding thick fog began to gather again, filling the gap in an instant, and the thick fog seemed to be endless.

Ling Ning said: "It seems that we are inside the formation, we just need to rush out."

Ruoxue said: "The fox demon's cultivation is not much different from ours. I guess the range of the formation won't be too big. We can definitely rush out if we choose a direction."

Seeing this, Zhong Kun nodded and said: "Junior Brother Yu, Junior Brother Wu, you two will also come to cooperate, and this... Taoist Brother Ah Qi, let's use Taoist magic in one direction and rush out directly!"

Everyone understood what he meant. Fang Yu and Zhou Wu took the lead in using the fireball technique and hurricane technique in one direction at the same time to blow away the thick fog. They rushed forward together. When the thick fog surrounded them, Zhong Kun and Ruoxue came again.

In cooperation with the Taoist magic, Ling Ning also used the Taoist magic to help them disperse.

Several people rushed out dozens of meters, and suddenly a strange flute sound came, and several people stopped unconsciously.

Fang Yu said: "Listen... there seems to be the sound of a flute."

Ruoxue said: "Could it be the demon fox's method of teleportation?"

At this time, the rustling sound became louder, and suddenly a large number of rats appeared in all directions like a tide! These rats were huge, as big as kittens, and their eyes were red and they rushed toward them like they were desperate!

Zhong Kun shouted: "Fang Yu!"

Fang Yu was so excited that he frantically made several hand seals and shouted: "Gathering Earth, Earth Wall!"

Suddenly, four high walls rose up around the group of people, blocking Shuoshu's tidal attack!
