In the deep mountains and old forests, there is deathly silence and darkness.
The tall and dense trees, illuminated by the pale moonlight, looked like evil ghosts dormant in the darkness.
The howling mountain wind is like a shrill wail, making people shudder.
After leaving the village, the fog became thicker and thicker.
The surrounding vision is getting worse and worse.
Zhou You kept wandering around here, seeming to be feeling something.
He went to the mine, but found nothing, not even feeling the yin energy.
It seems that the evil spirit is not active in the mine, but near the mine.
I just wandered around the mountains and forests near the mine for almost an hour, but I still didn't find anything.
"It's strange... According to Zhao Changkong, he heard a woman crying when he was wandering nearby... Why didn't I hear it?"
"Is it possible that Wei Wei is not interested in me?" Zhou You frowned secretly.
Uh-huh~
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from behind.
"Who~"
Zhou You's eyes tightened, and the demon-slaying sword was instantly unsheathed.
A sharp blade flashed through the void in an instant, making a whimpering sound.
"clang!"
The people behind did not expect that a person suddenly appeared in front, and his sword skills were so sharp and terrifying.
The long sword in his hand turned into a flash of cold light and he rushed forward.
There was a clang.
Nangong Yue felt her sword being bounced away, and her neck felt cold.
The tip of the knife, which shone with cold light, was pressed against his own throat.
"Why is it you?" When Zhou You saw the person coming, he felt something was wrong in his heart.
This woman was just a strength in the inner energy realm, and he actually didn't realize it until she got close to him...
Obviously, his perception ability has been weakened.
This mist should not be as simple as it seems, and it most likely contains some kind of magnetic field similar to that of a ghost hitting a wall.
It's just that the ghost's wall is blocking perception.
This mist weakens perception...
"Can you take the knife away first..."
Nangong Yue said softly.
Even though the demon-slaying knife didn't really touch her throat, the extremely sharp blade already made her feel like her skin was being torn, and she didn't even dare to speak too loudly.
Zhou You glanced at the woman and then took back the demon-slaying knife.
"Didn't I tell you to leave?"
Nangong Yue shook her head: "I came to the mine this time just to kill demons. Naturally, I am not willing to go back like this."
"But when I entered this mountain forest area, the few companions around me disappeared silently... So I kept searching nearby until I met you."
After Zhou You heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Disappeared? Didn't you notice it at all?"
This woman's strength is quite good, and she has the cultivation of inner energy.
It takes a little bit of difficulty to disappear silently from her perception...
Nangong Yue recalled the previous scene: "Shortly after leaving the village... I vaguely heard the sound of a woman crying, so I walked along the source of the sound... Then as I walked, I found someone beside me
All the people are gone..."
"You didn't notice at all?" Zhou You said expressionlessly.
"No... even my memory of that time is a little blurry." Nangong Yue felt uneasy in her heart.
Zhou You shook his head speechlessly. This woman dared to come to this mine without any experience... I can only say that she was brave and not afraid of death at all.
"When you hear the woman's cry, use your inner energy to shield your ears." Zhou You said calmly.
He finally understood why he had been wandering around here for so long, but he couldn't encounter the strange thing that was causing trouble.
It turned out that he was looking for those stupid young men.
"Have you ever encountered such a situation before?" Nangong Yue couldn't help but ask.
This man is not only superb in martial arts, but also very courageous and has rich experience in handling these matters.
"I am a demon slayer." After Zhou You said this, he ignored Nangong Yue and walked out towards the front.
"No wonder..." Nangong Yue had a look of surprise on her face.
Only the Demon Slayer is so calm in the face of these weird things.
Seeing Zhou You's figure about to disappear into the mist, Nangong Yue gritted her teeth and quickly followed.
She is not a fool. After a series of events, she also knows that the evil spirits in this mine are not something she can deal with.
But if he just retreated, those annoying flies would disappear, and it would be hard to explain when he went back, so he could only follow Zhou You first.
.....
The two temporarily formed a strange peer relationship.
Wandering around, he ignored this woman and walked at the front with a relaxed and calm expression, as if he were out for an outing.
Nangong Xi looked around nervously, holding the sword tightly in his hand, and his body was in a tense state for a long time.
Suddenly, a black shadow flew down from the tree.
Before Zhou You could move, he saw a sharp sword light flashing.
Pfft.
The black shadow was stabbed to the core, revealing its true body.
It turned out to be just a black bat.
Nangong Yue's cheeks were also slightly red.
She also felt that she had overreacted.
Pa da~
Just then.
Another rush of footsteps came from behind.
A figure passed through the thick fog and appeared in their eyes.
"Miss Nangong, I finally found you."
"Where are the others? Why are they missing?"
The person who came was none other than Li Huan, the third young master of the Golden Sword Sect. He looked frightened and uneasy at the moment.
"They are all missing...What happened just now?" Nangong Yue saw the person coming and put down her guard.
"I don't know what happened... I just remember that I was following you, and then my mind suddenly became confused. When I came back to my senses, I found that you, He Qingyuan and others were gone."
"I have been searching around here, and then I saw two vague figures in the fog, so I hurriedly looked for them."
Li Huan explained with an uneasy expression.
It was obvious that what he had just experienced made him extremely frightened.
"So that's it." Nangong Yue nodded slightly and looked at Zhou You. "This is the demon slayer. Let's follow him first and see if we can see anyone else."
The moment she turned around, a weird smile appeared on Li Huan's face.
Just like a lurking poisonous snake spreading its fangs.
Nangong Yue suddenly felt a chill coming from behind her, and her expression suddenly changed.
But the distance between her and Li Huan was too close, and even if she reacted, it would be too late.
call!
at this time.
An extremely hot sword light passed over her body and fell like a golden meteor.
Poof!
Li Huan, who was holding a long knife in his hand and was about to succeed in a sneak attack, was cut in half alive.
The corpse of Li Huan, which was split in two, had no trace of blood spattering out. It made a continuous burning sound, kept wailing, and turned into a black mass.
Zhou You put away the demon-slaying knife and glanced at Nangong Yue lightly: "Don't trust anyone in the range of treachery."
