Lin Xiaowan stuck out her tongue, hiding the guilty conscience on her face angrily.
Thinking of the charming thoughts I had before, I felt my face getting hot.
at the same time.
Chu Youwei has escorted Fang Ya and others out of the mountains. Compared with the casualties of the team led by Lin Xiaowan, Fang Ya and others are lucky. Although everyone is seriously injured, no one has damaged their foundation.
After you go back and recover for a while, you will be cured.
Although Qi Jialiu was a little unhappy because of a change in his plan and was unable to be alone with Chu Youwei in the wild, but after confirming his inner feelings, he still chose to obey and wait by the side, and they left the mountains together.
The entrance to the mountains.
Su Huaijin and his fellow disciples were in charge of counting the list of new disciples who had failed the assessment. Suddenly, they saw Chu Youwei and his entourage supporting each other and walking out like "old, weak, sick and disabled", with blood stains all over their bodies, and their expressions couldn't help but change.
"Senior Sister Su~" Chu Youwei finally found some comfort in her eagerness and shouted anxiously: "Go and report to Elder Gong Xi that something dangerous has appeared outside the mountain range.
The beast is a black tiger and a python."
Although only some traces of the Black Tiger and Python Jiao incident have been discovered and have not been completely determined, Chu Youwei feels that such a reply is more likely to attract attention than claiming that he was assassinated by a traitor, and it is also easier to alert the elders to go into the mountain to rescue him.
.
Of course, Yan Wentai's matter must also be reported.
After Su Huaijin heard this, a suspicion arose in her heart, and she looked at Chu Youwei and the others. With her eyesight, she could see the source of their injuries, which was not a sign of a vicious beast.
He immediately further confirmed: "What exactly happened? Vicious beasts such as black tigers and pythons live deep in the mountains all year round. How come such good-looking ones suddenly appear on the periphery?"
Soul beasts have the habits of soul beasts, just like human beings' adaptability. Human beings who are accustomed to living in cities, with rich clothes, fine food, and convenient daily life, generally would not think of going to barren villages unless there are special circumstances.
The same is true for the Black Tiger Python Jiao. Deep in the mountains, there is an environment suitable for its growth, and there is 'food' that matches its own strength. Under normal circumstances, even the middle areas of the mountains are not willing to go, let alone the outer areas of the mountains. This is equivalent to
It's a 'barren' place.
Chu Youwei responded: "The specific reason is unknown. Perhaps it is related to the man named Yan Wentai in Xiaowan's team. This person is not here for the assessment. His target is me or the Lin brothers and sisters."
"The appearance of the Black Tiger Python Jiao may also be due to some tricks he used behind the scenes to lead him to the depths of the mountains, hoping to use this to disrupt our assessment and create opportunities for revenge for himself."
Su Huaijin frowned slightly: "The Lin family brothers and sisters are also involved? Where are they at this moment?"
Chu Youwei told the truth: "Yan Wentai failed to attack me secretly, so he took advantage of the situation and kidnapped Xiaowan. After his brother heard about it, he went deep into the mountains to rescue him alone."
"What? He's alone?" Su Huaijin was startled, and his calm face unconsciously showed some waves, and his beautiful eyes seemed to be thinking about something.
After a while, he signaled: "Take these injured disciples back to the mountain villa quickly and inform Elder Gongxi and others about what happened. I will take the lead to go into the mountain to have a look."
Chu Youwei hesitated and said: "Senior sister, I, I want to go with you."
Su Huaijin looked hesitant.
Chu Youwei said quickly: "I have taken the pill to restore spiritual energy, and it will not hold me back." Su Huaijin said hesitantly: "According to the rules, senior sister should not allow you to ask like this, but considering your relationship with the Lin family brothers and sisters, I want to talk to you.
Just follow and be sure to protect yourself."
After the explanation, he arranged for the two disciples on his side and ordered them to lead Fang Ya and others back to the village for treatment and to report what happened in the mountains.
Qi Jiali found an opportunity to speak: "Senior Sister Su, with more people and more strength, I will go with you."
Su Huaijin refused without hesitation: "I allowed Junior Sister Chu to go with us because she is the leader of the team and a member of the villa, and you are just a disciple taking the entrance examination. It's better not to get involved in this matter."
Qi Jiali said stubbornly: "Although I am a new disciple, I still have the strength of the Earth Soul Realm, which is the same as you."
"And I have learned a lot of experience in the Main Prison and the Wuji Sect over the years."
"I was also the first to discover the traces of the Black Tiger Python Jiao. I can help lead the way. If they really go deep into the mountains, I will definitely be able to play some role."
A flash of displeasure flashed in Su Huaijin's eyes, but considering the Wuji Sect and the general prison, and unwilling to offend someone like Qi Jialiu, he reluctantly agreed.
Under the leadership of Qi Jialiu, the two came to the area where they had hunted the ancient white-striped wolf.
After some investigation.
Su Huaijin and Chu Youwei's expressions both turned serious.
There are actually traces of the existence of the Black Tiger and Python Jiao.
Continue forward, along the last direction where Lin Xiaowan was taken captive, and go deep into the mountains.
"Come on, there are signs of fighting here!"
Qi Jiali led the way to the survey room and came to a flat open space outside a mountain. He shouted to the two women behind him in surprise.
"What a cruel method!"
Su Huaijin's face suddenly looked a little ugly when he saw the corpses at the scene were messy and blood was everywhere.
A hint of fear flashed across Qi Jialiu's face unconsciously, and he said in a trembling voice: "It could be Yan Wentai? How could he be tortured and killed so brutally, with no body intact? Who did it? Could it be the Lin brothers and sisters?
"
There were only Yan Wentai's body parts at the scene, but not the two Lin brothers and sisters. This made Qi Jialiu wonder whether Yan Wentai died at the hands of these two people. If so, then these two people would be too cruel to do this.
.
If you are an enemy of such a vicious person, you must pay more attention in the future and make complete preparations.
Chu Youwei saw that Qi Jia slightly wanted to throw dirty water on Lin Xiaowan and the two of them, so she quickly defended: "The swordsmanship practiced by both Xiaowan and her brother is very different from the traces here. They should not have killed them."
"It's the formation," Su Huaijin saw the clues of the formation's existence from some of the remaining details, and said slowly: "Yan Wentai's injury still has a faint chill left in it, and the surrounding soil is also colder than elsewhere.
It's a little wet, so he must have mistakenly entered an ice-cold formation at the heavenly level and ended up in this situation."
"Tianpin formation?" Qi Jia was slightly horrified, "How could such a terrifying formation exist in this uninhabited and remote mountain? Could it be that your villa set it up?"
Su Huaijin's face was solemn. She knew that the elders of the villa had deployed some defensive formations deep in the mountains to prevent the ferocious spirit beasts from breaking into the periphery. However, the area here should not belong to it at the moment.
The formation is also not defensive.
It seems that it is man-made.
But she didn't think that the two Lin brothers and sisters would have such a powerful formation due to their family background.
Suspicious, he couldn't help but ask Chu Youwei who was looking to one side.
"Junior sister, do you see any tricks?"
Chu Youwei was looking around at the traces at the scene. After hearing this, he responded and analyzed: "Yan Wentai's death should be more than a simple ice formation. Look at his broken right arm."
Su Huaijin took a closer look and saw that there were dull rust-like cracks on his skin. He couldn't help but burst out in horror: "This is..."
The two said in unison: "Fluorine rust crystal iron!"
Su Huaijin felt even weirder, "Where did he come into contact with such a terrifying substance? There is no fluorine rust crystal iron in the Xuanyou Mountains."
Chu Youwei analyzed: "Judging from the residual lines, it seems that he took the initiative to grasp something. Those dark rust stains spread from his palms. Perhaps it was because of this accident that he subsequently fell into
into that formation."
Qi Jialiu's surprised voice suddenly came over, "I found two arrows here."
"Arrow?" Chu Youwei was suspicious. Originally, she was thinking that if Yan Wentai died in the formation, would it really be the work of 'Lin????????????????Liyun'. After all, Yu
During the battle of Jianxu, the latter showed some talent in formations, and also mentioned that he had learned some formation theories from the Six Evils of Qiongling due to Gui Ling.
But when it comes to bows and arrows, such suspicions can't help but be reduced a lot.
Facing a soul master like Yan Wentai, who is at the earthly soul level, a bow and arrow will not play any role at all. Shooting with arrows rashly will only be a burden.
Su Huaijin took a closer look and realized that such an arrow must have suffered a strong impact and the shaft was destroyed, so that it could be shaken to such a far area.
For this reason, I couldn't help but curiously ask: "How are the Lin brothers and sisters' archery skills?"
Don't wait for Chu Youwei's reply.
Qi Jiali's joking voice came over: "Miss Lin has been practicing in the villa for a while, so she is good at archery, but her brother is a novice who needs Miss Chu's help even to shoot a bow.
Very bad.”
Chu Youwei was so angry that she tried to help him: "Don't forget, you lost to him when hunting the duck vulture."
Qi Jia's face was stern and he said disapprovingly: "That's not because you concentrated all your spiritual energy on that arrow and helped him aim the direction, otherwise he would never have won me."
"Now is not the time to argue!" Su Huaijin asked with a straight face: "Whether it's a formation or an arrow, have you really never seen it before?"
Chu Youwei shook his head and said suspiciously: "This is probably not what Xiaowan and the others did. Maybe it was Yan Wentai who accidentally bumped into some master while abducting him, which led to his death."
"It can only be like this," Qi Jia sighed contemptuously, as if he was not satisfied with Yan Wentai's ending.
It's not out of sympathy or regret, but out of dissatisfaction with the failure of the plan.
Yan Wentai's sneak attack was not a spur-of-the-moment initiative, but had been premeditated and the two of them had already agreed upon it.
Unfortunately, the plan could not keep up with the changes.
The original plan was to abduct Chu Youwei, and then he would join up with Yan Wentai in the name of rescue. While acting as a hero to save the beauty, he would also take the opportunity to eliminate "Lin Liyun".
But I didn't expect that it would develop into the current situation.
However, Yan Wentai's death is not a bad thing for Qi Jialiu, at least no one will know about the plan.
