C71 Hidden Danger Behind the Skeleton
Just like that, while Ye Heng and the others were chatting with beautiful girls, the sky had already darkened when Ye Heng and the others arrived at the northern region of the Gloomy Jungle.
During this period of time, if it wasn't for Xe Xingyi's resentful gaze and the murderous gazes of the four people from the Fist Peak, it would have been a good journey.
"Alright, we will sleep here tonight. " Team Two's captain, Luh Yixun made a hand seal and controlled the Godspeed Boat to slowly descend to the ground.
This was a cliff in the dense forest. The field of vision was wide and the terrain was higher. Even if there were Strange Beasts attacking, they would be able to discover it immediately.
It seemed like this Luh Yixun was a smart person.
After landing on this cliff, Luh Yixun began to use his captain's authority and proudly commanded the disciples of the other peaks to do things.
"Hey! The two new disciples from the Rock Peak, I'll leave the task of keeping watch to you guys. " Luh Yixun said to the two disciples of the Rock Peak arrogantly. His tone carried a hint of an order.
"You. . . Why do you want the disciples of Rock Peak to go?" The shorter disciple of Rock Peak heard what Luh Yixun said and glared at him. It was as if he wanted to eat Luh Yixun alive.
"What? Not convinced?" Luh Yixun raised his brows, his face darkened, and his eyes shone with a frightening light.
At this moment, a slightly plump man standing beside the disciple grabbed his arm and tried to persuade him. "Forget it, stop talking about Junior Brother Luo. "
"But. . . " Junior Brother Luo opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw his senior brother's serious expression, he swallowed all the words back into his stomach.
"I'm sorry, my junior brother's personality is a little extreme, and his words never go through his brain. I hope Captain Lu can forgive me. " The slightly plump disciple bowed to Luh Yixun with a flattering smile on his face.
"Hmph. " Luh Yixun snorted coldly. He looked at the slightly plump disciple with disdain, then turned around and left.
Only after Luh Yixun had left for a long distance did Junior Brother Luo look at his senior brother with a puzzled expression. He said indignantly, "Senior Brother Chu, what did you pull me for just now? What right does this kind of trash have to order us? Furthermore, he doesn't allow anyone else to go. Isn't he clearly bullying us?"
Junior Brother Luo was unusually hot-blooded. He was the type that would easily get intoxicated. If it wasn't for his Senior Brother Chu holding him back, he was afraid that he would have a fight with that Luh Yixun on the spot.
Looking at Junior Brother Luo in front of him who was filled with hot blood, Chu Han helplessly shook his head and said with a sigh, "Junior Brother Luo, do you think I'm not angry? It's just that even if the two of us attack together, we won't be able to beat him. "
"The disciples of Fa Feng are all geniuses who jump ranks to fight. Senior Brother Liu Gaang was a living example. Even if you and I combined, we would still be far from being as good as senior disciple Liu Gaang. However, senior disciple Liu Gaang ended up like that. Anger without power, that's just the wailing of a sick dog. "
Junior brother Luo was rendered speechless by Chu Han's words. He stood there like a child who had done something wrong, waiting for his parents to lecture him.
It was indeed as his senior brother Chu Han had said. If he had acted recklessly just now, not only would he have brought danger to himself, he would have also implicated his senior brother.
At that time, he was afraid that the two of them would not be able to leave Gloomy Jungle.
"Alright, I won't blame you this time. We can only blame ourselves for not having the strength to do so. " A trace of sorrow was revealed in Chu Han's eyes. He gently patted Junior Brother Luo's shoulder and comforted him.
After hearing Chu Han's words, Junior Brother Luo nodded his head and could not help but clench his fists. His eyes revealed a resolute expression. "I must become stronger!"
Junior Brother Luo had secretly made up his mind in his heart. He must become stronger, and then restore the Rock Peak's reputation.
On the other side, after assigning some tasks, Luh Yixun lay on a blanket like a big boss, exceptionally comfortable as he secretly lazed.
The disciples of the sword edge were assigned to chop trees and make simple fences. The disciples of Fist Peak were assigned to get dinner tonight. The disciples of the Qing Liu Peak were sent to check the surrounding terrain.
As for Ye Heng and the two female disciples of the Jade Maiden Peak, the task assigned to them was very easy. They were just going to pick up a pile of firewood.
"Hmph, this person is so annoying. He ordered us to do everything, but he didn't do anything himself. " The baby-faced Xe Xingyi complained discontentedly.
"Xingyi, don't say that. Maybe he is doing something important. " Although Bai Yun said that, that contemptuous look betrayed her.
It seemed that she was also very dissatisfied with Luh Yixun's actions, but she did not say it out loud.
"Hey, you should say something too. Is that guy really annoying?" At this time, Xe Xingyi changed the topic to Ye Heng, who had been silent the whole time.
Ye Heng did not answer. He only showed a serious expression and stared straight ahead.
Seeing Ye Heng's strange expression, Xe Xingyi and Bai Yun looked at the place where Ye Heng's eyes were looking at at at the same time.
Over there, they saw more than ten Strange Beast corpses that were left with only bones.
From the appearance of the bones, it should be more than ten Shadow Wolf corpses.
One had to know that Shadow Wolves were Strange Beasts that lived in groups.
With more than ten late stage Zhi Kai Shadow Wolves gathered together, even an early stage spirit sense Strange Beast wouldn't dare to face them head on.
But now, so many Shadow Wolves were eaten up by some unknown Strange Beast, leaving only the bones there.
This had to make the three of them extremely shocked.
"Senior Bai Yun, this. . . What kind of Strange Beast would this be made of?" Xe Xingyi's pretty face had a trace of fear as she asked Bai Yun with some hesitation.
"No, according to my understanding, there should not be any Strange Beast in the outer perimeter of Gloomy Jungle that could do such a thing. " Bai Yun said with a solemn expression, and her expression was also not very good.
At this time, Ye Heng suddenly interrupted. "What if it is the Strange Beast in the middle of Gloomy Jungle?"
"The middle of Gloomy Jungle?" Bai Yun was stunned for a moment. She immediately replied, "There are indeed Strange Beasts that are able to do such a thing. Moreover, there are quite a number of them. "
After pausing for a moment, Bai Yun seemed to have thought of something and added another sentence. "However, this is only the outer region of the Gloomy Jungle. It is at least several hundred miles away from the middle region. Generally speaking, the Strange Beast in the central region won't take the initiative to run to the outer region. "
"I think we've encountered some trouble. It's most likely the Strange Beast in the central region that ran out. " Ye Heng said with a serious expression and a very certain tone.
"Why? Could it be that the Strange Beast in the middle region is different from the ones in the outer region?" The baby-faced Xe Xingyi tilted her head cutely and asked in puzzlement.
Seemingly defeated by her junior sister's ignorance, Bai Yun facepalmed. Helplessly explaining to her, "The Strange Beasts in the central region are all above the Spiritual Awareness Stage and are much stronger compared to the Strange Beasts in the outer region of the Wisdom Opening Stage. The Spiritual Awareness Stage in the Strange Beast is equivalent to an Essence Gate Stage warrior. If any small team like us were to encounter a Spiritual Awareness Stage Strange Beast, we would all be wiped out. "
After Bai Yun finished speaking, Xe Xingyi finally realized the seriousness of the matter. Her pretty face was filled with shock.
Although Xe Xingyi did not have a concept of the strength of a Spiritual Awareness Stage Strange Beast, she still had some understanding of the strength of an Essence Gate Stage warrior.
Essence Gate Stage and Essence Vortex Stage. They were not on the same level at all, there was no comparison at all.
Even a man who had just stepped into the Essence Gate Stage could easily kill hundreds of Ninth Layer of Essence Vortex warriors. The difference in strength was like the difference between heaven and earth.
"Then. . . Senior disciple Bai Yun, what should we do? Could the Strange Beast be near us?" Thinking of the seriousness of the matter, Xe Xingyi could not help but be afraid.
"We should not have to worry for the time being. " At this time, Ye Heng walked back from the edge of the skeleton of the Shadow Wolf and said faintly.
In Ye Heng's hand was one of the Shadow Wolf skeleton's frontal bones.
"En, Junior Brother Ye, why would you say that? I hope you can tell me a thing or two. " Bai Yun asked Ye Heng with a pleading tone.
This was not a secret. Ye Heng naturally did not mind saying it out loud.
"From the bite marks on this bone, I can tell that those Strange Beasts should have come here a long time ago. It's very likely that they have already left. " Ye Heng passed the bone of the Shadow Wolf to Bai Yun and explained.
Bai Yun did not know anything about this. She took the bone from Ye Heng and gave it back to him.
"Yes, I saw it too. Since Junior Brother Ye said so, it seems that we are not in danger for the time being. " Bai Yun nodded and pretended to be very understanding as she agreed.
"Ha, Senior Sister Bai Yun, you don't understand at all. " Xe Xingyi, who was at the side, said with a teasing tone.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Bai Yun's face when she was exposed. She took three steps forward and walked in front of Xe Xingyi, scratching the soft flesh on her waist.
"Wow, you little girl, are you trying to rebel?!"
Bai Yun used her famous ultimate move and her hands went up and down, causing Xe Xingyi to smile and shake uncontrollably.
"Haha. . . Hahahahahahahaha! Senior sister Yun. Y-you can spare me. . . ! "
Xe Xingyi laughed until tears flowed out. She looked very unhappy.
"Humph, humph, I don't want to!"
Bai Yun firmly refused and her hands became faster. Xe Xingyi's laughter also became louder.
Ye Heng, who was not far from them, was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery in front of him.
He saw that Ye Heng's brows were tightly knitted, and the deep worry in his eyes was rolling.
In fact, Ye Heng was actually worried. There's one more thing I haven't said. That was, there wasn't only one Strange Beast that had eaten up all the Shadow Wolf meat. Perhaps there were many, or even many.
There wasn't even a shred of meat around the skeleton of the Shadow Wolf. It was unusually clean.
This made Ye Heng unable to get rid of it no matter what. It was as if a layer of haze had enveloped his heart.
