Du Xiaomao and the others were startled when they saw a few black shadows falling from the sky. Just as they were about to raise their guard, they realized that it was a corpse that had fallen. Then, Lu Xuan and the other two also landed.
"Is this the guy that controls the Vampire Bats?" Du Xiaomao asked after looking at the black corpse.
Lu Xuan nodded. "Those vampire bats from before were all split off from this giant vampire bat. This ability is indeed a little strange."
"It's a good thing we killed it. Otherwise, those endless vampiric bats would have killed us all. Even now, two of us are still injured," said Xue Ying. Yang Weili looked at the two injured disciples and said. Both of them had suffered quite a bit of damage. One of them had his right hand injured and would not be able to fight for a short period of time. The other one was slightly better. He was injured on his back and could at least use a weapon.
At that moment, Lu Xuan had an idea. He walked up to the giant vampire bat and sliced its head open with his sword. As expected, a crimson crystal appeared before his eyes.
"Bloodline Stone …"
Lu Xuan's tone was filled with surprise as he held the dazzling crystal in his hand. He had his suspicions when he found the Blood Qi Stone on the Vampire Vine's body. Now, he was able to verify his suspicions.
Seeing that he had obtained a Bloodline Stone, Yang Weili let out a long sigh of relief. "It seems that we didn't waste our effort to kill it. It seems that we have to work hard to get the rewards in this forest."
Hearing this, Lu Xuan could not help but think of a possibility. He could not help but say, "Could it be that we have misunderstood? Could it be that this forest is actually part of the cave? Or has the Ancient Almighty Trial already begun? "
Hearing Lu Xuan's words, the others were also stunned. They did not rule out this possibility. After all, everything was still unknown.
"No matter what, we just need to protect our own safety. Only by staying alive will we have the opportunity to obtain all kinds of treasures and opportunities." Yang Weili nodded calmly.
Leaving the bodies of the Vampire Bats on the ground, they moved forward again. Lu Xuan also kept the Bloodline Stone for the time being. It was obviously not the time to absorb it.
After walking for a while, Lu Xuan suddenly sniffed and frowned. "There's the smell of blood. Be careful."
He had broken through a lot of acupoints, so his five senses were far more sensitive than the others. He immediately smelled the faint smell of blood in the air.
After saying that, Lu Xuan walked straight to the side. The smell of blood was coming from that direction. The others quickly followed him, keeping their guard up at the same time.
After walking for a short distance, the corpses of several cultivators appeared in front of them. Seeing this, Yang Weili and the others were shocked. They didn't expect that a battle would really break out and there would be people dying. Were they killed by demonic beasts, or did they kill each other for treasures?
Thinking that there might be monsters around, the group raised their vigilance to the maximum. They were prepared to act at any time to deal with any possible danger.
Lu Xuan held the Smoky Sword in front of his chest and raised his senses to the maximum. Taiyi force spread out continuously in an attempt to investigate the surroundings, but he did not find anything.
As he approached the corpses, Lu Xuan could see their faces clearly. However, he did not recognize any of them. The clothes they wore, however, shocked everyone.
"They're disciples of the Jiuhua Alliance!" Du Xiaomao's voice was filled with shock and astonishment. Most of the Jiuhua Alliance's disciples were at least at the Eighth Tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm, and a good number were even in the Origin Realm. They had only suppressed their strength to the peak of the Spirit Refinement Realm. Who would have thought that they would die here?
"I think we should hurry up and leave. Even the Jiuhua Alliance's people are dead. The monsters around here are stronger than we thought." Yang Weili couldn't help but suggest. The corpses had given him quite a shock. He remembered that the Jiuhua Alliance had sent out at least a dozen people, but they had also left behind several corpses. It meant that the enemy was strong enough that the Jiuhua Alliance could not withstand it.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan shook his head calmly. "These people are not the Jiuhua Alliance disciples we met before."
Yang Weili was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
Lu Xuan pointed at the bloodstains on them and said, "Judging from the bloodstains they left behind, it's obvious that they didn't just die. They've been dead for some time, at least a day. It's impossible for us to have just met them."
"How could they have been dead for more than a day? We've only been here for less than half a day." Yang Weili was incredulous, but the reality was clear. He could see that these people had been dead for a while.
It didn't take long for Yang Weili to come to a realization. "Are these the first batch of Jiuhua Alliance disciples?" he asked thoughtfully.
He remembered that when they first discovered this ancient cavern, some of the Jiuhua Alliance's disciples had come to scout ahead. A few of them had left, but no one had stayed behind. Clearly, these were the ones who had stayed behind. But for some reason, they had died here.
Just then, a flurry of footsteps sounded from the other side. Lu Xuan and the others gripped their weapons and looked back. They saw a group of a dozen people approaching.
As soon as the two sides met, the person on the other side asked in surprise. "It's you guys? How did you get ahead of us? "
These were the disciples of the Jiuhua Alliance. The one who had spoken was the strongest of the group, Long Ming.
When Lu Xuan and the others saw Long Ming, they were confused. They had gone in a completely different direction from the Jiuhua Alliance. Even if they had taken a detour, they would have been right behind them. How could they have gotten ahead of them?
"Look, it's senior brother Li and the others! How dare you surround and kill our Jiuehua Alliance's men! " An angry roar sounded. It was the black-clad youth, Lin Zeyu. He saw the corpses at the feet of Lu Xuan and the others.
As soon as he spoke, the Jiuhua Alliance disciples looked at the corpses. Their faces changed. They immediately recognized the clothes on the corpses, and associated them with the first group of disciples who had come in to scout. They immediately knew who they were.
Many of the Jiuhua Alliance's disciples pulled out their weapons. Lin Zeyu was the most impulsive of them all. He charged at Lu Xuan and the others. Zhao Binger's expression changed. She tightened her grip on her longsword, ready to fight.
But right at this moment, Long Ming pulled Lin Zeyu back with one hand and lightly shouted, "Come back for me!"
Lin Zeyu glared at Long Ming. He didn't give him any face. "You're just a few disciples from a fourth-rank sect. How dare you attack the Jiuhua Alliance. Why are you hesitating?"
Long Ming's expression was indifferent. "They didn't just die," he said.
Lin Zeyu paused. He looked carefully at the corpses. The blood on their bodies had long since dried. They'd been dead for some time. If Lu Xuan and the others had really killed them, they wouldn't have been so stupid as to stay here for so long.
