This time, Niu Youdao's group didn't set off alone, they followed Fu Hua's group.
Niu Youdao's reason was that he wanted to find out why his group didn't find anything, he wanted to see how the others were doing, he wanted to make a comparison so that everyone wouldn't misunderstand him.
Since the reason was perfect, no one had anything else to say, they didn't have any objections …
Everyone dispersed once again, leaving the line of sight of the others. Chao Jing immediately stopped moving and landed on a protruding grassy hill in the swamp.
Two Wan Shou Faction's disciples landed, Xu Huo saw him looking around, he immediately asked, "Master, what's wrong?"
Chao Jing raised his chin and said, "Make some changes to our route."
Xu Huo was surprised, "Aren't we following the planned route?"
Chao Jing said, "It's okay to take a little detour. From today onwards, we will do the same. Also, from today onwards, we need to be more vigilant when searching, we need to report to the police immediately if anyone comes near. "
The two Wan Shou Faction's disciples looked at each other, Elder Chao had been very vigilant since last night, he had told them to alert him immediately if anyone came near, no matter who it was.
What they didn't know was that after he said those words to Niu Youdao yesterday, Chao Jing had sensed the danger, he was worried that Niu Youdao would kill him, especially since Niu Youdao was with Fu Hua's group of four today.
But he had something on Niu Youdao, as long as he didn't give Niu Youdao a chance to attack him, he wasn't afraid no matter how many people Niu Youdao brought with him.
What he needed to do now was to prevent any accidents, he couldn't let Niu Youdao find a chance to kill him.
The current Niu Youdao wasn't the Niu Youdao he was in the past, he had indeed gathered a lot of forces, no big faction's elders dared to look down on him, Chao Jing had to be careful.
After explaining everything, Chao Jing led his people away from the planned route …
The three Wan Shou Faction's journey was as usual, they didn't face any danger, but they also didn't gain much.
In the middle of the afternoon, Xu Huo suddenly pointed in a direction, "Master, look!"
Chao Jing turned his head and saw a group of demon foxes gathering on a grassy hill in the distance. They seemed to be surrounding something and did not notice their arrival.
It was rare to see dozens of Demon Foxes at the same time. Chao Jing was delighted. He waved his hand and called out to the others. Then, he took the lead and left in a flash.
As the three of them rushed forward to kill, they seemed to have startled the group of Demon Foxes. The Demon Foxes screamed and fled, forming groups and rushing in one direction.
Chao Jing, who was chasing from the sky, vaguely realized that something was amiss. The fox demons did not scatter in all directions, nor did they burrow into the swamp. Instead, they flew above the swamp.
However, just as the three of them landed, the swamp below seemed to shake on a large scale. Then, with a loud crashing sound, countless tentacles leaped into the air from all directions, surrounding the three of them from all directions.
There was also a large number of Demon Foxes clinging onto the tentacles. The tentacles quickly surrounded them. The three of them tried their best to break out of the encirclement, but they found that the tenacity of the tentacles this time was extraordinary. It was difficult to break them.
Seeing that they had fallen into a predicament, Chao Jing suddenly lifted his leg and stepped on a disciple. Using the momentum, he once again soared into the air. However, when he raised his head, he saw three people appearing at the top of the tentacles. How could there be people? Chao Jing was shocked!
The three people above him revealed a sinister smile and attacked at the same time. They worked together to attack Chao Jing, who was charging at them from below. They forced Chao Jing down again.
They were unable to break out of the encirclement in time. The last ray of light disappeared and the surroundings fell into darkness. They could feel the concentrated tentacles twisting and curling towards the space where the three of them were.
The three of them attacked frantically, trying to break out of the encirclement. However, the rapidly contracting tentacles were getting thicker and thicker.
Countless Demon Foxes emitted a hazy glow as they clung onto the tentacles and wagged their tails.
The twisting and contracting gigantic creature was like a devouring demon. It brought along a large number of Demon Foxes and quickly sank into the swamp below.
The turbulent swamp quickly regained its calm. Occasionally, there would be muffled sounds coming from underground …
In the evening, the scattered people once again gathered at the next gathering point.
Niu Youdao and the other two were still empty-handed when they tallied up their harvest. The situation this time was different. Niu Youdao and the other two were mainly observing and learning. They did not make any moves.
Niu Youdao looked very emotional. "This time, when I followed Fu Hua and the rest, we did see Demon Foxes from time to time. It seems like it's really because of my clothes. My group is very confident about tomorrow's harvest. "
The rest could only chuckle or say a few words of encouragement. What else could they say?
The sky was getting dark. There was still one group that had not returned. Quan Taifeng asked curiously, "Why aren't Chao Jing and the rest back yet?"
Niu Youdao smiled faintly and said, "It's probably because of the clothes. They are feeling embarrassed for not getting any harvest after so long, so they want to work harder."
Many of them laughed out loud. They were also very curious. They were prepared to ask Chao Jing when he returned. Could it be that the influence of a piece of clothing was really that great?
For the time being, they could only wait. Niu Youdao, who was sitting cross-legged, quietly took out a stone from the bushes at the side. He took out a leaf that was rolled up in the stone and read the words on the leaf when no one was paying attention.
It was a message sent by the Fox Clan. The content of the message indicated that Chao Jing and the other two had already fallen into the hands of the Fox Clan.
Even if he did not see the message, Niu Youdao knew that the Fox Clan had probably succeeded when Chao Jing and the others had not returned.
In this Desolate Swamp Wasteland, he could contact the Fox Clan at any time. The Fox Clan had made a move on Chao Jing and the other two. Naturally, he was the one who sent the message to the Fox Clan.
After he returned to the Saint Realm from the outside world, he did not intend to make a move on Chao Jing so quickly. However, Chao Jing seemed to have lost control of his emotions and was becoming more and more outrageous.
He had intended to endure it. After all, it was not a bad thing to have more manpower at this time. He might be able to make use of them in the future. However, Chao Jing just had to court death and insisted on changing clothes with him.
If there was no problem with the clothes, would it be him, Niu Youdao, who had a problem? It was impossible for Niu Youdao to allow Chao Jing to bring back this kind of information in front of everyone. He also would not allow Chao Jing, who had obtained this information, to force him to confess anything.
After reading it, the leaf shattered in Niu Youdao's hand. He took out the map from his sleeve and looked at the location left behind by the Fox Clan.
It was getting late, but Chao Jing still had not returned. Shen Yidu suddenly said, "Could something have happened to Chao Jing and the others?" As he said this, he glanced at Niu Youdao.
Everyone looked at each other. They all had the same guess.
Niu Youdao, who had put away the map, asked, "Why don't we go look for them?"
Shen Yidu said, "It's getting dark. How are we going to find them in this boundless swamp? Let's wait a little longer and hope that they were delayed by something. If something really happened to them, we won't be able to find them in this swamp. We won't even be able to find their corpses. They will be swallowed by the swamp. If they still haven't returned by daybreak, then there's no need to look for them anymore. "
Everyone was silent. Indeed, it was difficult to leave any traces in this swamp. The muddy water could easily erase all traces.
Everyone quietened down. Only the occasional crackling sound of the firewood could be heard.
Even after midnight, Chao Jing and the others had not returned. Everyone guessed that something must have happened to them and they probably wouldn't be able to return.
Many people glanced at Niu Youdao, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. They all suspected that Chao Jing's disappearance had something to do with Niu Youdao.
It was hard not to suspect it. Yesterday, Chao Jing was rude to Niu Youdao and the next day, Chao Jing disappeared. Was it a coincidence?
Especially Shen Yidu. He knew that Niu Youdao wanted to kill Chao Jing. So last night, he had specially probed Niu Youdao and asked if Chao Jing had angered him.
This matter shocked everyone. If it was really Niu Youdao's doing, then he could easily get rid of Chao Jing. This was not a small matter!
Someone couldn't sit still. Lang Jingkong got up and sat beside Fu Hua. He asked in a low voice, "Is Chao Jing's disappearance related to Niu Youdao?"
Fu Hua knew what he was thinking. She replied in a low voice, "I know what you guys are thinking. But this time, you guys are really thinking too much. He has been following us all day and didn't leave. It's impossible for him to have the chance to kill Chao Jing. If something really happened to Chao Jing, it should be because of some other reason. It really wasn't done by him. "
Lang Jingkong asked, "Don't tell me you joined forces with him?"
"What are you thinking about?" Fu Hua rolled her eyes. This matter was really hard to explain.
After that, other than Niu Youdao, the other elders all came to Fu Hua to probe. Fu Hua was speechless. She knew that everyone had misunderstood Niu Youdao and couldn't explain it clearly. She felt wronged for Niu Youdao …
It was daybreak, but Chao Jing and the others still hadn't appeared. Everyone knew that something must have happened.
When everyone met again to discuss the next gathering point, Niu Youdao said, "I suggest that we find Elder Chao's whereabouts."
Quan Taifeng sighed and said, "Brother, Elder Shen is right. If something really happened in this godforsaken place, there's actually no need to search anymore. It'll be hard to find any traces! If something really happened, even if he didn't die, it would mean that he was seriously injured and didn't even have the ability to return. How could he escape from the demon fox? "
Niu Youdao said, "Why don't we do this. You guys continue to hunt the demon fox. Our group will look for Chao Jing and the others."
Shen Yidu waved his hand and said, "There's really no need. It's pointless to look for them in this godforsaken place."
Niu Youdao said, "You guys can choose not to look for them, but I can't! Do you think I don't know? I'm afraid you all suspect that I did it. "
Shen Yidu chuckled and said, "Brother, you're thinking too much. There's no such thing. Fu Hua has already proven that you didn't do it."
"You say it nicely. I've already asked Fu Hua, but you guys still suspect me. I'll try my best to find Chao Jing. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain myself. Alright, it's decided. I won't be able to return anytime soon. Let's discuss a meeting place in case I can't make it back in time. "Niu Youdao had already made up his mind.
Since he insisted, the others couldn't do anything about it. They could only put up with it.
After the matter was settled, Niu Youdao brought Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie back to the place where Chao Jing and the others had gone yesterday.
While everyone was watching them leave, Shen Yidu suddenly turned around and asked, "Fu Hua, is he really not the one who did it?"
Fu Hua sneered and said, "I told you he didn't do it, but none of you believed me. Since you don't believe me, what's the point of asking? And the three of you, even if I tell you, what can you do? Is there a need for me to lie to you? What's the point of forcing him to prove himself? "The latter half of her sentence was directed at Lang Jingkong, Duan Wuchang and Hong Gaitian.
Not long after they left, Niu Youdao ditched Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie. He gave the reason that the three of them would have a higher chance of finding the demon fox if they split up.
