Chapter 54: Besieging and Killing Demon Cultivators
"What's wrong?" Zhang Wutao asked.
"I just feel something is wrong. It has been too quiet since we came in." Zhou Dao said in a deep voice.
"Yes, it's too quiet." Liu Quanzhen also said.
"Everyone, be quiet," Zhang Wutao said.
No one spoke, and everyone felt a little depressed.
"No, there are no animal sounds in this valley, not even a bird chirping." Zhou Dao said at this time.
Sure enough, everyone sensed it and it was the same as Zhou Dao said. Looking at the foggy and gloomy valley, everyone felt fear welling up in their hearts.
"What are you afraid of? There are so many of us. Let's move forward." Zhang Wutao encouraged.
Zhou Dao, a dozen or so people, carefully searched forward, with the late-acquired ones at the front and a few mid-acquired ones at the back.
"Kacha" a voice sounded.
"Is that so?" Zhou Dao quickly turned around.
"It seems I stepped on something," said the disciple behind me.
Several people gathered around it, and it turned out to be a skeleton. Everyone was shocked.
"It looks like he was killed by a demon cultivator, so be careful."
We continued forward for several hundred meters without any hindrance, and finally a figure appeared in front of us.
"Everyone, be careful, the demon cultivator has appeared."
Among the group of people, only Zhou Dao had the most sensitive senses and the best eyesight, and was the first to clearly see the movement in the distance.
"No, there are about ten people in front of me." Zhou Dao said.
"Wow, there are about ten demon cultivators. Now we are in trouble."
"Yes, yes, this is terrible."
"We'd better retreat."
"Don't panic, we are one of our own." At this time, Zhou Dao also saw clearly.
When everyone walked in, they found that they were indeed one of their own, led by Sun Shouchao.
Sun Shouchao also exhaled when he saw Zhou Dao and the others. It seemed that they were very nervous just now.
"Why is it you?" Sun Shouchao asked.
"I asked why it was you." Zhang Wutao said unhappily.
"Humph" Sun Shouchao glanced at Zhou Dao and said nothing.
"Didn't you notice anything unusual along the way?" Liu Quan stepped forward and said.
"No, I didn't see anything along the way, but I stepped on a few dead people's bones." Sun Shouchao said.
"Did you feel it was too quiet along the way?" Zhou Dao asked.
"Yes, there are almost no birds."
"I wonder how Senior Brother Mad Niu and the others are doing?"
During the discussion, there was movement in the distance.
"Who is that person in front of you?" Sun Shouchao shouted.
"It's me, Crazy Bull."
Sure enough, it was Mad Niu and the others. Before anyone could say anything, the city lord's team also rushed over. So far, there are still a couple who have not arrived.
"What's going on? There's nothing."
"Yes, it can't be that the demon cultivators are not here."
"I guess he ran away after hearing the noise."
"Hahaha."
"Senior Brother Mad Niu, I feel something is wrong." Zhou Dao stepped forward and said.
"I felt it too, it was too quiet along the way." Mad Niu also nodded.
"Why hasn't another team arrived yet?" someone asked doubtfully.
Sure enough, everyone has been here for a while, but there is still one team that has not arrived. Although that team is the weakest, they should be able to arrive.
"What happened? Nothing will happen?"
"Impossible. There are more than a dozen of them anyway. It's impossible that there won't be any noise if something happens."
At this time, Zhou Dao's nose moved and he felt like there was something smelling. Because Zhou Dao often helped Elder Du. In addition, Elder Du's intentional or unintentional guidance, Zhou Dao also learned some pharmacology. So he felt like there was some medicinal smell wafting just now.
Pass.
"Everyone, hold your breath," Zhou Dao shouted.
"What?" Everyone was confused.
"The gas is poisonous, hold your breath." Zhou Dao held his breath with the idea of rather believing that it was there or not.
"No, why didn't I smell it?"
Zhang Wutao was the first to hold his breath when his junior brother told him to hold his breath. At the same time, Liu Quanzhen and the disciples from Zhou Dao's team also held their breaths one after another.
Seeing Zhou Dao's solemn expression, Mad Niu quickly ordered, "Everyone, please hold your breath and leave here first."
Everyone hurriedly ran to the way they came.
"There's a body ahead."
"Ah, they are our people."
Everyone gathered around, and it turned out to be the group of people who came with him.
A total of twelve people were lying on the ground, their whole bodies curled up, obviously having their blood and essence sucked out of them.
"Everyone leaves first. It seems that these people were all killed without much resistance," Zhou Dao said.
"Hahahaha, can you still leave?" A gloomy voice came from a distance. The voice was sharp and it was hard to tell whether it was a man or a woman. The voice echoed everywhere, making people lose their bearings.
"Who is it?" Kuang Niu shouted. At the same time, he whispered to everyone to be careful.
"Hahaha, aren't you coming to surround me and kill me? Why are you so scared that you go back, hahaha." The voice came again.
Everyone looked around but couldn't find the other party's shadow.
"Junior Brother Han is missing." At this time, a disciple shouted.
"What's going on?" Everyone asked quickly.
"Junior Brother Han was with me just now. As soon as I turned around, I found that Junior Brother Han was missing." The man said in panic.
"Ah hahahahaha, a group of brats want to surround us. Haha, it's just wishful thinking. None of you can escape. Can you all increase your power?" The strange scream came out again.
"Ah, the sixth junior brother is also missing." Another person said in panic.
"Everyone, be careful."
"Don't separate, let's go back together."
Zhou Dao was also closely together with Zhang Wutao and Liu Quanzhen at this time.
Soon a few more disciples disappeared, but they didn't even see their shadow, and everyone was immersed in fear.
"Senior brother, this is not the way to go." Zhou Dao said.
"What good idea do you have?" Zhang Wutao asked.
"No."
"That's so much nonsense."
"The other party must not be a match for us. There must be some kind of trap, otherwise the other party should have appeared long ago." Zhou Dao said loudly.
"Yes, everyone, pay attention to what is around you." Mad Bull shouted.
Zhou Dao's whole body was filled with true energy, and his spirit was at its highest. He watched every move around him.
Suddenly Zhou Dao felt a subtle sound breaking through the air behind him. If you were not careful, you would not be able to hear it.
Zhou Dao suddenly turned his head and saw a disciple suddenly floating up high, with his mouth open, limbs swaying, and no sound coming out.
Without thinking, Zhou Dao flew out, drew out the dagger from his waist, and slashed into the air.
A "chi" sound came. The disciples who had risen also fell down.
Zhou Dao leaped to the big tree above his head, but found nothing.
"Junior brother, be careful." Zhang Wutao shouted.
"It's okay" Zhou Dao jumped down from the tree.
"How is this junior brother?"
"Cough, cough, cough, cough." The fallen disciple coughed for a while before standing up, and at the same time, he took a noose from his neck.
"I'm fine. I felt my neck was tight just now and I was hung up. If my senior brother hadn't rescued me, I would have been like the missing senior brothers."
"It's very strong. It can't be cut by ordinary weapons." Mad Niu said while looking at the length of the noose in his hand.
