"Let's not care about that stubborn person. Let's see if there's anything else," the Scorpion Demon said disdainfully.
From their point of view, since their master was no longer around, it must have been taken away by the prisoners. If that was the case, they might have missed something.
The others quickly searched, but after searching for half a day, they had searched all the places they could find. There was nothing at all.
"How unlucky. There's nothing," the Scorpion Demon said from the side.
"Yeah, someone probably took it all." The Rabbit Demon was also a little listless at the side.
"Look, what did I find?" The Tiger Demon held a tattered piece of cloth in his hand. It was only the size of a thumb.
"Isn't it just a piece of cloth?" The Scorpion Demon said unhappily. She wanted to find a bottle of elixir to improve her strength and perfect her transformation.
"Hehe, this belongs to our Junior Sister." The Tiger Demon smiled proudly.
The Rabbit Demon took it and sniffed it carefully. He said in surprise, "Not bad. Although the smell is very faint, it belongs to that bitch."
"Looks like our Junior Sister left first. She might have taken it first," the Scorpion Demon analyzed.
"Of course, it could also be the prisoners who took it away. Damn it."
Suddenly, a gust of Hei Feng appeared out of nowhere. It blew so hard that the three demons could not open their eyes.
"Cough, cough. Where did this strange wind come from?" the Scorpion Demon said in annoyance. "If I know who is causing trouble, I won't let him off."
A cold voice sounded, "You won't let anyone off."
He was wearing a black cape and black tights. His tall and straight body contained endless power. A scarlet eye stared at them. That cold gaze seemed to want to tear them apart.
Only his pale cheeks showed that this mysterious person had suffered serious injuries.
An invisible aura slowly rose from the black-robed man.
Even if he was injured, it was not something the three Little Goblin could withstand.
"Plop." The Scorpion Demon, who was the weakest, could not take it and fell to the ground. Then, the Rabbit Demon and the Tiger Demon could not withstand it.
Large beads of sweat appeared on their bodies. The three Little Goblin felt like they were about to suffocate. They could not even beg for mercy. It was as if they would die at any moment.
Finally, the black-robed man dissipated his aura. The three demons desperately gasped for air like dying dogs.
The black-robed man looked at the emptiness in front of him. He could no longer suppress his anger. He slapped the Scorpion Demon and it was crushed.
The tiger demon and rabbit demon were so frightened that their bodies trembled. They knelt there and did not dare to move, afraid that they would follow in the footsteps of the scorpion demon.
"Who did it?" The black-clothed man gnashed his teeth as he asked. Gu Zheng had already cleaned up all traces of him. The black-clothed man did not know who had snatched his fruit.
"It's Little Junior Sister. The last clue we found was Little Junior Sister." The rabbit demon was afraid that he would follow in the footsteps of the scorpion demon, so he quickly answered.
. of course, of course.... look................. She........... of the.. be...........
. "The tiger demon did not back down. No matter what, he had to get through this first. As for Little Junior's Sister, no one liked her.
The black-robed man thought that the person who could break his seal was not weak. The weakest was at least in the Soul Formation Realm. As for their Little Junior's Sister, he looked at the useless people in front of him and knew that she could not break his seal.
Two beams of black light flew out of the black-robed man's hand. They flew into the bodies of the two demons like lightning.
The two demons watched everything. It was too late for them to dodge.
"Now, your lives are in my hands." The black-robed man sneered and said, "Go and find your so-called Little Junior's Sister now and bring her back. Otherwise, you can die. It's useless."
The two demons suddenly felt an inexplicable pain in their bodies. It was as if there was a snake swimming in their bodies. In a few seconds, the two demons were rolling on the ground in pain. They kept crying and begging for mercy.
After a short pause, the black-robed man removed the restriction and said, "Come back once a month. If you don't come back, you can die outside. Without my relief, your body will explode."
The two demons nodded in fear and trepidation. They had already experienced that kind of torture that was worse than death. It really made them feel that they would rather die.
"Scram. If there's any news, send it back." The black-robed man gave them a carrot. "If you can bring her back, I'll control you and give you back your freedom."
"If you can find out exactly who saved that old fox demon, I'll give you a great opportunity."
The two demons' hearts lit up. So, someone had saved their master.
The black-robed man looked at them in disdain. How could he not know what they were thinking? He mocked, "No one can break this spell of mine except me. You will explode with just a thought. You can try to find someone to break it."
"We wouldn't dare, we wouldn't dare. We will work hard for you." The two demons said so, but no one knew what they were thinking.
"Why aren't you leaving? Do you want to rest here for a while?"
"Let's go, let's go." The two demons scrambled out of the cave.
The black-robed man set up a few alarm systems and sat cross-legged at the place where he had imprisoned the fox demon.
He had to find the demon herb. No one could stand in his way.
As he had encountered an ancient demon beast on the way, he had suffered serious injuries. The date he had calculated was also wrong. In order to shake off the demon beast, he had been late by a few days.
The black-robed man did not expect the fox demon to burn her remaining life force to make the demon herb mature ahead of time. He thought that someone had happened to pass by and took it away.
Then, that little junior sister was the biggest obstacle.
Now, the most important thing was to heal her injuries. The rest could be slowly calculated.
The scarlet eyes slowly closed and the cave returned to silence.
The two demons rushed out of the cave and ran all the way out of Eastwood Valley before stopping.
The tiger demon and rabbit demon looked at each other when they saw the wretched state of both parties. They lamented their bitter fate.
The rabbit demon was the first to speak. "Brother Tiger, what do we do next?"
"Let's find a place to recuperate first. Then, we'll find little junior sister. We'll talk when we get there." The tiger demon said in a low voice. As the eldest and the senior brother with the highest cultivation, the fox demon knew how powerful the black-robed man was.
He even felt that he was an ant in front of him that could be squashed to death at any time.
The rabbit demon nodded his head. Tomorrow was the tiger demon's idea.
They would go to little junior sister's place first. If there was an expert, they would ask him to help them. If not, they would capture him. No matter what, they were the most important.
The two demons headed in a direction. There was a hidden place that ordinary people could not find.
After seven days, the two demons came to little junior sister's place in disguise. The door was tightly locked.
After asking around, they found out that little junior sister had gone out to pick herbs a few days ago. The rabbit demon gave the tiger demon a look. The tiger demon followed the rabbit demon to the back of the yard and climbed in.
In the past few days, there were some leaves that fell from the trees in the yard. There was also some dust in the house.
The two demons rummaged around. Other than knowing that there were two more people staying here, they did not find anything else.
The rabbit demon whispered, "I didn't sense any aura of an expert." The rabbit demon's perception was not bad. He could sense the movement of the grass from far away. He could also sense the aura left behind by someone.
"Then, let's go." The tiger demon was also decisive. Once he knew that there was no expert by little junior sister's side, he knew what to do next.
The night was as dark as ink. The bonfire was like a lamp.
Gu Zheng and company camped on the barren land. There were a total of three tents.
Gu Zheng had one, Xue 'er and Shuang' er had one each. The last one was not for backup. It was for Zhao Man.
On the first day of the journey, Zhao Man rode over on a horse that could travel thousands of miles in a day.
He shamelessly squeezed in. In his words, he had been too busy previously. Now that he was giving himself a break, he could cultivate his relationship with Xue 'er.
Other than a horse, a water bottle, and a few sets of clothes, there was nothing else.
At first, when he saw Zhao Man riding side by side with Xue 'er, Gu Zheng was very depressed.
Gu Zheng had an idea. He let Zhao Man be the coachman while he rode his horse. This time, it was Zhao Man's turn to be depressed.
Just like that, Zhao Man became a coachman and a part-time cook. All he had to do was to lie on the horse and follow. When he was in the mood, he would ride the horse.
On the seventh night, they were only half a day's journey away from Shuang 'er's village.
"Alright, everyone, come and eat." Zhao Man saw that the meat on the bonfire was ready and shouted at the top of his lungs.
These few days, Zhao Man had been very depressed. If not for Xue 'er's encouraging gaze, he would have gone back long ago.
"Big Brother Zhao, you've worked hard." Xue 'er came out and smiled at Zhao Man.
"Come, come. Xue 'er, this is for you. This is the most delicate part. I saved it especially for you." When Zhao Man heard Xue 'er's words, his tired body was instantly filled with vitality. He eagerly handed over a skewer of meat.
"Big Brother Zhao, you're so biased." After a few days of getting to know Zhao Man, Shuang 'er felt less unfamiliar with him. At the very least, acting coquettishly was a woman's natural talent.
"Here, here." Zhao Man handed over a skewer of meat to Shuang 'er.
"Hey, where's mine?" Gu Zheng just came out of the tent.
"Take it yourself. It's just there." Zhao Man said angrily.
Gu Zheng didn't care. He walked over and took it and started eating.
The dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed. The silver moonlight shone on the ground. Gu Zheng was about to go back after eating and drinking. He saw Shuang 'er looking into the distance alone. That was her hometown.
"What's wrong? You look terrible. "Gu Zheng came to Shuang 'er's side.
Shuang 'er didn't say anything and went back to the tent.
Gu Zheng blinked. So strange.
Bei Si Mountain Range was in the northwest of Anhua Country. It spanned thousands of kilometers from the south to the north. There were high and low mountains everywhere. It spanned across several kingdoms.
It was said that there were immortals and monsters on the mountain. Many people didn't come back. Now, except for some hunters, very few people went there foolishly.
Gu Zheng went to Shuang 'er's village first, which was not far from Bei Si Mountain Range.
The more he walked in the direction of the village, Gu Zheng found that Shuang 'er's face became more and more ugly.
Standing at the entrance of the village, the whole village was a dilapidated place. It was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time.
Xue 'er was comforting Shuang' er, who was crying beside her. Gu Zheng and Zhao Man walked in.
There was no one in the village. There was no blood at all. There was no trace of a fight.
It was as if everyone had disappeared into thin air. There were still some clothes in the yard. Some hanging food indicated that this was a lively village before.
Now, the whole village was quiet and strange.
Xue 'er and Shuang' er followed behind. Shuang 'er's mood had stabilized.
It turned out that Shuang 'er happened to go to the city with a few people in the village to sell goods that day. When she came back, she found that it was like this.
The rest of the people didn't dare to live here. They hurriedly went home and took some things to other places.
"It's too strange." Zhao Man also had goosebumps. This was obviously not like robbery or murder.
Gu Zheng closed his eyes in front and felt a trace of abnormality. There seemed to be some familiar aura.
However, too much time had passed. Although this was the place with the thickest aura, Gu Zheng still couldn't tell.
"If I know who did it, I'll help you take revenge." Xue 'er comforted him.
"Yes, I'll help you with Xue 'er." Zhao Man wanted to stand with Xue' er no matter what.
"Thank you." Shuang 'er didn't want them to get hurt because of her. She didn't want them to take risks.
Shuang 'er pointed to the village and said, "Go from there. There's a shortcut." It wasn't that they couldn't go through other places, but that Shuang 'er only knew the surrounding terrain. There was a short cliff in front of them that had been paved with a log by an old man.
Zhao Man took the lead and walked in front. He thought that they were here to pick herbs. Although there was no danger in the periphery, there was no telling when a few powerful beasts would appear.
Even if there were rumors of demons, Zhao Man felt that his strength was still enough to protect Xue 'er and the other two.
Yes, in his eyes, Gu Zheng was a weakling, an ordinary person.
Gu Zheng didn't mind and followed at the back.
The first part of the journey was relatively smooth. Occasionally, some branches blocking the way would be cut down by Zhao Man.
This blade was obtained in the small town before. Zhao Man had sent someone to deliver it. Going from that direction to the Beise Mountain Range was the last place to resupply.
By the time they reached the cliff that Shuang 'er mentioned, two hours had passed. Zhao Man was still in high spirits as his escort, but Shuang' er, an ordinary person, was already panting.
Shuang 'er sat on a rock next to him. "In front, other than the powerful hunters, most of the hunters would hunt around here."
This cliff was about ten meters wide. It was so high that the top couldn't be seen. It was impossible to climb.
An even longer tree stretched across the two sides of the cliff. The branches and leaves of this tree were still lush. It turned out that its roots had already been dug into the ground here. It was really tenacious.
In the distance, only the top of the mountain was the final destination. Under the trees that covered the sky, it was unknown how far it was.
Gu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Xue 'er, you and the others can search here. I'll go take a look myself."
Zhao Man laughed. "If you go, you'll be eaten by the beasts soon." Zhao Man had also stayed for a period of time for cultivation. This was not the direction.
Xue 'er was also dissatisfied. "I've been here before. I'm not afraid of ordinary beasts at all."
Zhao Man knew that Xue 'er also had some strength. It was just that she was not as strong as him.
Shuang 'er was also embarrassed to leave. "It's okay, I can walk too. You don't have to take special care of me. I've been working since I was young." She raised her slender arm to show that she was also very strong.
Just like that, Gu Zheng and the other three crossed the cliff and continued forward.
The further they went, the lower the terrain felt. Zhao Man was in front, and Gu Zheng was behind. On the bumpy road, their stamina was depleted faster.
If not for Gu Zheng secretly transferring immortal qi to Shuang 'er, Shuang' er would have climbed down from exhaustion.
For three days, some wild beasts attacked them. The smarter ones escaped unscathed. The dumber ones were directly eaten.
When they reached the place, even the usually lively Xue 'er was like a frosted eggplant.
They were surrounded by the same towering trees. Only one side was the bottom of the mountain. It was covered tightly by some vegetation.
Shuang 'er said embarrassedly, "I only know that there's a cave nearby. There's a passage in the cave. But so much time has passed. I don't know the exact location. After all, I've only heard about it."
They had been working hard for so long. Not being able to find anything was the most frustrating.
Gu Zheng scanned with his divine will. He did not find any strange cave. He felt that they were surrounded by stone walls.
There was no cave like Shuang 'er had mentioned. Did she remember wrongly?
Shuang 'er seemed to understand what Gu Zheng was thinking and hurriedly explained, "It must be this place, because this place has been sealed off by the mountains. Only our small path can lead us here. No one else knows of this path."
"Then let's look for it." Zhao Man went up and knocked on the wall to see if it was blocked by the vegetation.
Other than Gu Zheng, everyone went up to search. For a moment, their ears were filled with the sound of knocking.
At this time, the sky was getting darker. The dark clouds were getting lower and the sky was getting darker. A storm was coming.
Zhao Man and the others were about to give up. After all, in such bad weather, they should set up their tents first. Otherwise, they would be drenched.
"Kacha." A bolt of lightning flashed in the sky. The whole world was white. In just a short moment, a bright white dot flashed.
When Gu Zheng looked over, everything was normal. There was a layer of unknown vegetation covering the area. It was normal to sense it.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky. This time, Gu Zheng saw it clearly.
"Zhao Man, where did you go? Pull those things down." Gu Zheng pointed at the direction he saw just now.
"What?" Zhao Man replied loudly. The wind was getting stronger. The whistling of the wind covered everyone's voices.
Gu Zheng repeated again. Only then did Zhao Man walk over step by step.
More and more lightning flashed in the sky. In order to prevent Zhao Man from getting hurt, Gu Zheng had no choice but to stop some of the drifting energy. There was something special about that direction. It was actually absorbing some of the drifting energy.
Zhao Man used a lot of effort to break through the vegetation. He was pleasantly surprised to find a small cave behind it.
Gu Zheng and the others saw it too.
"Hurry up and go in." Gu Zheng shouted at Xue 'er and the others. Xue' er supported Shuang 'er as they walked over with difficulty.
The cave was a little small. They had to bend down to go in.
When everyone had gone in, it started to rain heavily outside.
