Draconis did not waste time. He drew a triangle in the air with his hand. Immediately, a shadow appeared in the triangle. Three masked men in black walked to the front of the tree and looked at it. Then, they hurried in.
Yes, the marks he made on the tree were not for fear of getting lost, but to monitor the rear. This method was a bit similar to the Eye of the Netherworld that Du Feng had set up. However, the Eye of the Netherworld was a small magic in the Mortal World, and it could not be used here.
After the three senior students came over, they also found something strange on the tree. However, after looking at it, they felt that it was just a simple mark without any energy fluctuation, so they did not pay much attention to it. They did not know that their whereabouts had been observed by Draconis.
"What should we do? It seems that there are three masters. Can we beat them?"
"By the way, we have Fifth Brother. Don't be afraid."
The other people did not say anything, but these two sentences were said by the son of the Semi-Sage himself. He was very talkative, but in fact, he had a guilty conscience.
"Not necessarily. Maybe they are here to explore the mountain."
The member of the Blue Dragon, who had the second highest Cultivation in the team, had a different opinion. It could not be said that someone entering the forest at the back of the mountain was definitely aimed at them. Although they had observed the marks on the tree, anyone would be a little curious when a few marks suddenly appeared on a tree trunk.
"Fifth Brother is right. They must be following us."
The rest of the people all agreed with Draconis's opinion. Moreover, in a dangerous place like the back of the mountain, of course, they would rather believe it than not. If they were sneak-attacked, their lives would be in danger. Therefore, from now on, they should be careful.
"Don't quarrel. It's very simple."
Draconis did not like to win others' trust with words. He preferred to use actions. He wanted to prove that those masked men in black were not following them. He just needed to make a few more marks to see if they would still follow them. As he spoke, he made a few more marks on the tree next to him. Then, the team continued to set off.
This time, without needing him to remind them, all the team members stood in formation intuitively. Regardless of whether the three masked men in black were following them or not, they would still be nervous. After all, everyone was afraid of death.
The five of them maintained their formation and continued to move forward. After a short while, Draconis suddenly stopped. Without saying anything, he drew a triangle in the air. This time, everyone was experienced, and the image appeared in the triangle again.
"Eh, that's strange. Why is there only one left?"
Previously, there were three masked men following him, but now there was only one left. The Son of the Sage-to-be was confused after reading it. He trusted Captain Draconis very much. Could it be that there were times when Captain Draconis made a wrong judgment?
"Idiot, they are outflanking us. Prepare for battle."
Seeing this scene, the Blue Dragon member changed his opinion. He admitted that Draconis was right. Out of the three of them, two of them had disappeared, and only one of them was still tailing them. This showed just how powerful the enemy was. They obviously knew that they might have been exposed, so they deliberately chose different routes to outflank them.
This fan-shaped approach was very professional. The three of them took different routes, but they were not far from each other. As long as one of them found the target, they could immediately merge in the middle and attack from three different directions. Since they dared to fight three against five, they must be very confident in their skills.
"Ah, they are already here?"
The Son of the Sage-to-be was so scared that he hurriedly took out his weapon and got into a fighting stance. Looking at the other members, he found that they were all calm and pretending not to know.
"Put your weapons away and listen to my command."
Draconis glanced at him with obvious disdain. He originally thought that the Son of the Sage-to-be would have some skills, but this guy was too stupid. However, since he had already brought him out, he could only teach him a lesson. When you know that you are being followed by the enemy, don't put on a look as if you are facing a formidable enemy. In that case, the other party will also be prepared, or they will simply retreat.
The five of them had to hurry on with their journey as before, pretending to know nothing, and create opportunities for the other party to launch a sneak attack. When the other party launched a sneak attack, they would suddenly launch a counterattack. This was the right thing to do.
"Oh, got it."
Hearing Draconis's words, the Son of the Sage-to-be put away his weapon obediently, but he still could not hide the panic in his heart. This kind of panic was nothing. After all, he had been panicking from the beginning to the end, and everyone had gotten used to it. It seemed that other than his rapid improvement in Cultivation, he was really weak in other aspects, especially in terms of combat experience.
This was not surprising at all. If it was anyone else with a Sage-to-be as a father, they would not have much combat experience. He had been well protected since he was young. Even when he went out to train, there would be people secretly protecting him. Growing all the way to the peak of the Divine Emperor Realm under such circumstances, it would be strange if he did not have a lot of combat experience.
The whole team continued to move forward, but they slowed down a little. It was normal to slow down. After all, after entering the forest, they could encounter the wandering Extraterrestrial Demons at any time. Moreover, the deeper they went into the forest, the darker it became, and the surroundings felt chilly.
Swoosh …
All of a sudden, the branches around them moved, and a black shadow instantly pounced over. Draconis reacted quickly and slashed with his saber. Before the saber arrived, however, the saber aura had already reached the other party. The speed was unbelievably fast. No one expected the enemy to come so quickly.
No, something was wrong! It was not that the enemy had caught up, but they had encountered the Extraterrestrial Demons.
Swoosh … Swoosh … Swoosh …
Then, a series of sounds came from the surrounding trees. Many short, monkey-like things surrounded them. These things were Extraterrestrial Demons. They were not babies, but they were not tall and mature either. In terms of their growth period, they looked like humans between ten to thirteen years old.
These things looked 30% human and 70% monkey, but they had no fur and no blood vessels. They could walk upright like humans, and they could also walk on all fours. They had eyes, noses, mouths, and other facial features, but they were all black, and it was hard to distinguish them from afar.
Their eye sockets were like two black holes, and their eyeballs were like black gems, very bright. For some reason, these things gave people the feeling that they were related to humans. As Extraterrestrial Demons, why was it so coincidental that they looked so similar to humans?
Especially the fact that they had no scales or fur, they were very similar to humans. One had to know that the Dragon Race had scales, and other animals also had scales or fur. This was a basic form of protection.
