"Have you noticed that at the place where we were trialing, we rarely saw monsters before the beast tide began."

On the road, Lian Yunbi suddenly said in confusion.

"That's natural. You may not know about this place. As far as I know, the area we tried seemed to be a gathering place for the ancient demon clan a long time ago. Later, because the human monks became powerful and drove them away, the place was deserted. Therefore, the monsters here are particularly rare. Even if there are, they are just small monsters. Of course, there will be exceptions, such as the two-headed snakes, which must have come here later."

Liu Fufeng explained.

"The gathering place of the ancient demon clan?" Zhang He couldn't help but be surprised when he heard it.

"That's natural. In fact, a long time ago, the most powerful force in the world was the demon clan." Liu Fufeng nodded, "They are the rulers of this land. Later, human cultivators appeared. Because human cultivators have higher wisdom and restrain the mindless demon clan, humans gradually gained the upper hand. After the legendary war of the prehistoric gods, the demon clan was greatly damaged, and humans got the opportunity to rise further. Ha, don't look at me in surprise. I also saw it from the classics passed down from the family. According to the records of the classics, Yunmeng City was built by the demon clan a long time ago!"

"I don't know anything about such an allusion. It seems that I am really ignorant." Lian Yunbi was listening and couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"That's natural. These things have been lost for a long time. Now, only academies like Zhenwu Academy can have detailed information. When we go to Zhenwu Academy, we can learn about these things."

Liu Fufeng smiled and said.

"We follow the map and take shortcuts all the way. I believe we will be able to go back in no time."

Wang Shaochuan, who was in front of him, was responsible for viewing the map and guiding the direction, suddenly turned around and said.

At this time, Zhang He suddenly saw a yellow pillar rising into the sky in the distance.

"What is that?" Zhang He pointed his hand, and doubt flashed across his face.

"Huang Yan signal? That is the gathering signal of Zhenwu Academy!" Wang Shaochuan's face changed slightly, "Huang Yan is made of special materials. After it is launched, it will not dissipate even if the wind blows! The signal of this collection is to summon people nearby."

"The assessment has only been going on for twenty days, and now we have started sending gathering signals. It must be because something unexpected happened. I guess, ten days are related to the beast tide a few days ago!" Zhang He pondered.

"What should we do now? Should we go there?" Lian Yunbi looked at Zhang He. She obeyed Zhang He now. She would go wherever Zhang He went.

"Go and have a look first." Zhang He pondered for a moment and made a decision.

They didn't know what was going on here nearby. So they decided to go over and take a look first.

The group immediately turned around and rushed towards the direction where Huang Yan was sending out.

...

On a cliff, the men of the demon clan were looking down at the movements in the distance.

There, a group of beasts ran wildly, and a group of people were running ahead. The people in front were the elites of the Western Chu Kingdom who came to participate in the Zhenwu Academy's assessment this time.

"Very good. This time, most of the people who came to participate in the Zhenwu Academy's assessment have died! If the news spreads, it will definitely cause an uproar! Moreover, our trick to remove the resources from the bottom of the pot will gradually make Zhenwu Academy lose talents. As long as there is a period of time, the power of Zhenwu Academy will be greatly weakened. At that time, our demon clan will take action and will definitely uproot the Zhenwu Academy!"

The people around him showed an expression of excitement on their faces.

"The leader, he is indeed wise! This move will definitely make Zhenwu Academy busy!"

Only, a trace of hesitation flashed across the face of a man from the demon clan next to him. One of his eyes was yellow and the other was pale blood, which made people look weird. He slowly said: "Captain, we should leave now. Our movement this time has become bigger and will definitely alarm the masters of Zhenwu Academy."

When Zhenwu Academy receives news, it will definitely send more experts immediately. At that time, if they don’t leave quickly, they will be in trouble.

"It's okay, it's not too late for us to evacuate when they die." A trace of tyranny flashed in the big man's eyes.

At this moment, among the people who were chased below, he raised his hand suddenly, and a yellow smoke column suddenly rose into the air.

"The convening signal of Zhenwu Academy? Very good. I just don't know how to kill more people. As soon as this convening signal comes out, the people who see around me will come after hearing the news. At that time, we can just catch them all in one go!"

The leader laughed wildly.

"Let the young men not interrupt the smoke pillar, I want it to gather more people!"

...

"Damn, it's another beast tide!" Wang Shaochuan couldn't help but scream when he saw the movement below.

Zhang He and his friends rushed to a cliff, which had a very strange terrain. At one end, there was an abyss covered by thick fog, and on the other side, there was a steep high cliff.

On this cliff, they happened to see the people below being hit by black beasts.

There is a sunken stone valley, more than ten meters wide. Judging from the environment below, there should have been a river before, but now it has dried up, the current master's aunt has formed.

And, in the stone valley, there were more than thirty people.

At this moment, they were surrounded by wild beasts, and they had no place to escape, because in front of them was the abyss, and behind them was a surging beast tide.

Really in a desperate situation!

"Isn't this a scam? Is it a call to call everyone to die!" Liu Fufeng said dissatisfiedly as he looked at the movement below.

Zhang He looked down and frowned. The thirty or so people below were all in danger. Now they arrived in the stone valley and took advantage of the convenience of the terrain to confront the beasts for the time being, but anyone could see that as long as a while, those people would have to let the beasts rag on!

"Hmm? Jiang Hengyu is inside, and Chu Jingxuan and the others?" Zhang He suddenly saw several familiar faces from the crowd below.

"What should I do?" Wang Shaochuan looked at Zhang He. They had now regarded Zhang He as their captain.

"What else can I do? I can only watch here. If I go on, what's the difference between going to die directly!" Liu Fufeng said angrily.

Zhang He remained silent, and a light flashed in his eyes. His eyes quickly swept across the surroundings, absorbing the surrounding environment in his heart, and quickly computing this. The high cliff where he was located was almost twenty feet away from the stone valley.

The black beast below must have at least three or four hundred heads! If you continue to rush to death, you will really seek death.

But, isn’t you just waiting for death?

Zhang He swept along the stone valley, and suddenly saw that at the corner of the stone valley, there was a huge stone standing in the middle of the stone valley like a pillar. It seemed that it was due to the impact of the flowing water before, which caused the pillar to be eroded severely, and now it has formed a thin bottom and thick top. Moreover, there is a large flat stone on top.

An idea suddenly flashed through Zhang He's mind.

"You go find the vines now and twist them into ropes! Hang down from here." Zhang He gave the order decisively.

"What? Are you going to save someone?" Liu Fufeng looked at Zhang He in surprise. Seeing Zhang He's face, he didn't seem to be joking, and his face became weird.

"You are so weird. You didn't even have you..." Liu Fufeng stopped talking and looked at Zhang He with surprise. When he just helped Wang Shaochuan and the others, Zhang He was still pushing the situation below. Now the situation is even more dangerous. Zhang He actually started to think about saving people.

What a weird person!

Zhang He knew what Liu Fufeng meant, and he smiled faintly: "I know what you mean. But snatching herbs in front is just a means of competition. It is unfair to others to help. But now, it is a battle between people and beasts. If I take action again, I will completely draw my sword to help!"

"In the end, you took action..." Liu Fufeng said dissatisfied.

"I can't see my woman and be hurt, right?" Zhang He said calmly.

Lian Yunbi's face suddenly turned red.

"Okay, don't say much. Just do what I said. I saw that, here, the slope is relatively gentle, twist the vines into ropes, and throw them down from here, so that the people below can grab the ropes. I'll go down first, don't follow them."

Lian Yunbi's face suddenly changed: "Zhang He, I want to go down with you."

"It's too dangerous below. If you go down, I will still be distracted to take care of you." Zhang He quickly stopped Lian Yunbi. Looking at Lian Yunbi's stubborn eyes, he could only smile bitterly and comfort him, "Don't worry, if I don't have complete confidence, I will naturally not take risks. Haven't we encountered a beast tide outside? At that time, I also retreated completely? Besides, my cultivation has improved now? Be here, wait for me to come back, do you know?"

Seeing that Lian Yunbi still didn't say anything, Zhang He grabbed her hand, pinched it gently, and chuckled: "You are on it, you must twist the rope firmly. This is a great help to me. Do you understand?"

Seeing Zhang He say this, Lian Yunbi had to nod.

Zhang He waved his hand, took out the fist gloves from his arms, and put them on. He waved to Lian Yunbi and others, took a deep breath, and his true energy erupted, and his body leaned against the stone wall of the cliff and jumped down.

Huh huh huh ~

The sound of wind came from his ears, and Zhang He's hands filled with true energy and inserted it into the stone wall.

With boxing gloves and the effect of true qi, the solid stone wall was like tofu. The hands of the open and hugged were easily inserted into the stone wall.

The body, which was falling rapidly, stopped immediately.

Then Zhang He pulled out his hand and fell down again. Repeat this. Not long after, Zhang He had reached a place only three meters high from the bottom of the valley.

"Who is that?" The person below caught a glimpse of Zhang He who was descending from the cliff.

"It should be here to help us. Be careful!" As he was speaking, a tiger roared and rushed up. The man shook the steel knife in his hand and slashed it hard.

"Come down to help us alone, isn't this going to die?" The person next to him said in surprise.

At this moment, on the cliff, a sharp roar suddenly stirred up.

"Everyone, please hold on for a while, I'll help you!"

The entire stone valley was buzzing with this long roar. The beast below discovered Zhang He on the top.
