"So they want to use me as bait …"
Fang Xing had been pretending to be asleep the entire time, but when he heard these words, his heart suddenly shook and the expression on his face changed. This was immediately noticed by Hou Qing. On the way, Fang Xing had deceived the others, but he had not been able to deceive Hou Qing. After all, Hou Qing had already heard from Liu Feng that although Fang Xing was young, he was exceptionally fierce. Therefore, Hou Qing felt that he had been far too well-behaved.
Usually, intentionally or unintentionally, Hou Qing had always been watching him. This was also the reason why Fang Xing had never had a chance to escape.
And after Fang Xing's heart shook, he immediately realized that he had revealed a flaw.
He immediately turned over and muttered, "These are the spirit stones that Senior Brother Hou Qing gave me … none of you are allowed to take them …"
When Hou Qing heard this, he was slightly startled. His vigilance relaxed and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Senior Brother Liu also lowered his voice and laughed, "Junior Brother Fang seems to have been bullied by others in the sect. In his heart, he now regards Senior Brother Hou Qing as a great backer. Ai, after these past few days of getting along, I also quite like this little brat. If we have any other way, we might as well think of another way to keep his little life …"
"Hmph, Senior Brother Liu, aren't your words a bit too childish?"
Suddenly, a sinister voice sounded out. It was another Third Layer Spirit Movement cultivator, Qian Tong. It was unknown when he had come over, but he sneered at Liu San and said, "I know you are softhearted, but this is not the temperament to do great things. Sacrificing this little brat will save us a lot of danger, so why not? Hehe, when we left the sect, you should have treated him as a dead man! "
Liu San's expression was somewhat ugly. After a long time, he lightly sighed, "You're right, I'm softhearted again!"
As he spoke, as if to force himself to harden his heart, he purposely discussed with Hou Qing and the others how to place the bait. It turned out that it was because he had a deep understanding of the demonic beast's habits that he had been specially invited by Hou Qing. When the plan to place the bait was revealed, Fang Xing, who was pretending to be asleep, felt his scalp go numb. The fear and rage in his heart rose by thirty feet at the same time.
As it turned out, in order to let the Dried Python Toad smell the scent of Fang Xing's blood and Spiritual Qi, these people would directly stab the eighteen acupoints of Fang Xing's body with the most vigorous Qi and blood, and then destroy Fang Xing's Ocean of Qi, so that the Spiritual Qi would have no place to attach to it and would seep out along with the blood. Then, they would nail Fang Xing, who had almost turned into a bloody gourd, in the middle of their ambush, screaming loudly to attract the demon beasts.
This was no longer just using Fang Xing as bait, it was simply torturing him to death.
If Fang Xing had only been used as bait, he would still have had a sliver of hope of survival. However, with their method, Fang Xing would definitely die.
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if he survived, he would still become a cripple.
"These bastards, their hearts are really ruthless …"
Fang Xing sighed softly, his small body turning over and lying down beside the fire, motionless.
It seemed as if he didn't notice anything, but the cold sweat on his back had already soaked his clothes.
"Little bastard, get up …"
Early in the morning, Zhao Zhi, who had a fiendish look on his face, kicked Fang Xing.
Fang Xing looked at him in a daze, only to be kicked twice by Qian Tong next to him.
In just one night, these four people's attitudes towards him had changed greatly at the same time. As if to prevent Liu San's soft-hearted situation from happening again, the four of them began to speak viciously to each other, either hitting or cursing.
Fang Xing coldly watched their changes, and he knew what they were thinking.
When he was in the Ghost Smoke Valley, he had seen many times that some normally kind people, in order to make up for the guilt they felt in their hearts, would commit even more atrocious acts than usual.
Even Liu San had changed, although he didn't directly scold or beat Fang Xing, his face was gloomy, as if he didn't want anyone to approach him.
Seeing this, Fang Xing sneered inwardly and no longer deliberately approached them, obediently cooperating with them and not asking for trouble.
After traveling for another two days, the group of five finally arrived in front of a towering mountain. The mountain stretched endlessly, filled with evil fog and dark clouds, making it impossible to tell how high it was, and the mountain was covered in strange pines and vines, making it impossible to tell how deep it was. At a glance, there were countless strange cliffs and rocks, making it extremely dangerous. Occasionally, one could hear the roars of beasts and the cries of demons, making one unable to help but feel terrified.
When the Dragon Horses neared the mountain, their originally docile temperament became somewhat restless and wanted to escape.
"This is the Demon Miasma Mountain, it is said that a few hundred years ago, there was a Foundation Establishment stage demon, Pan Li, who was later killed by the cultivators of the Flying Spirit Cave, but that cultivator also died here. After that, although there were no more Foundation Establishment stage demons in the mountain, there were many third and fourth rank Shapeshifting stage demons. The Withered Python Toad we are going to kill this time is one of them …"
Hou Qing looked at the mountain, sighed softly, and let someone feed it the Dragon Horse Turtle Breath Pill, then put it into the storage pouch.
This Turtle Breath Pill was a special type of pill, after consuming it, living beings would become like hibernating, their bodies would become stiff, and they wouldn't feel anything. At this time, they could put it into the storage pouch or the Heavenly Abode Ring, and release it when they were riding. The medicinal effects would be removed, and they would become lively again, just that there would be some hidden injuries to the body, which would slowly show.
But if the Dragon Horse didn't accept this pill, it couldn't be put into the storage pouch, because there was no air in the storage pouch, and the Dragon Horse would suffocate to death.
The mountain was dangerous, and there was the aura of demon beasts, so the Dragon Horses were easily frightened, so they could only walk up the mountain.
As they walked up the mountain path, Fang Xing was sandwiched in the middle, closely watching him. This was Hou Qing's order in advance. He seemed to have discovered that Fang Xing wasn't as obedient as he seemed, so he deliberately had Qian Tong and the others closely watch him.
Fang Xing had no other choice but to expressionlessly hurry on, at the same time secretly looking around, thinking of countermeasures.
After entering the mountain, they felt that the mountain was even more dangerous, and there were countless poisonous snakes and strange beasts, but fortunately, everyone had a cultivation base, and there were many spirit pills and medicines. Hou Qing, who was walking at the front, wore a Snake Repelling Pill, and ordinary snakes would stay far away when they smelled it. Even if there were a few that had a bit of Demonic Qi and didn't fear this pill, as soon as they got close, they were cut in half by his sword.
This person's sword was ruthless and fast, and it was obvious that, in addition to his cultivation base, he was also good at martial arts.
This kind of person really had the demeanor of the number one disciple of the Blue Cloud Sect's Outer Sanctum!
