Chapter 218 Heaven is Unkind, I Will Take My Own Responsibility (14)

The further we went in, the darker the light became. I don’t know if it was because it was too late or something else.

Several families living at the foot of the mountain had already moved away, and their houses had been abandoned for too long. Under the faint sunset light, they looked a bit dilapidated and eerie.

Without stopping, they followed the direction of the compass in Master Feng's hand and walked into the lush forest...

Nan Yue arrived the latest, and Fang Miaoyin shared the information she knew with her, "This place is almost entirely deep in the mountains and old forests. The deeper you go, the more you see not only monsters, but also many man-eating beasts. People often go missing, and it is speculated that they were eaten by beasts."

"So actually before the big monster kidnapped people, the city lord ordered that this place could no longer be inhabited, but there were still many disobedient hunters who sneaked into the mountains, and none of them came back."

Fang Miaoyin shook her head. "I can't persuade them. If you ask me, they deserve it."

Nan Yue listened quietly and said, "It seems that the Lord of Sunset City is still a good person."

"Yes!" Fang Miaoyin smiled and said as she remembered something, "My junior brother and I have been to the Imperial City before and found that the foot of the Imperial City is actually not as safe as Sunset City."

"Although a big demon kidnapped people this time, compared to those times when demons would break into the city and kill people, Sunset City is relatively peaceful. At least there has not been a single demon-injury incident in the city."

Nan Yue seemed to be thinking about something, and then asked, "Is it very chaotic outside?"

"Of course it's a mess! As soon as we disciples learn, we have to go down the mountain to catch monsters! Once we go down the mountain, many of our senior sisters and brothers never get to go back in their entire lives, and no one knows where they died..."

At this point, a trace of sadness flashed in Fang Miaoyin's eyes. Since she came down the mountain, she understood that she would be like her senior brothers and sisters. This was the fate of a demon catcher.

The master said that since she had chosen this path, she must fight for the people. If she eliminated a demon, there would be one less threat in the world.

She understood, but...

She was still a little scared.

The junior brother held her hand as if to comfort her. Fang Miaoyin suppressed the emotions in her heart. It was really strange. She hadn't even seen the big monster yet, so why did she feel like retreating?

Master Feng was leading the way. Seeing them walking slowly and chatting, he frowned and reminded them, "Follow closely. It will be dark soon. Be careful of your surroundings."

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the sun set completely in the sky and the forest fell into darkness.

Fang Miaoyin took out a glowing ball from her bag and pasted a piece of talisman paper on it. The ball immediately floated up, and the faint light allowed them to see the road clearly.

"I made this myself. I call it the Pearl Lamp. This way I won't be afraid of walking at night. What do you think?" Fang Miaoyin asked Nan Yue with some pride.

Nan Yue curled her lips and smiled, "Very impressive."

Yun Ci squeezed over, looked up, and then said: "If Miss Jiang likes it, I can also learn to make it."

Fang Miaoyin was very annoyed to see this weak scholar, "This is my unique skill, I won't pass it on to others."

"I will understand it after just one look." The scholar smiled.

Fang Miaoyin didn't believe it and was about to retort when Nan Yue suddenly hushed her.

She asked, "Master Feng, why is it so quiet here?"

Master Feng looked down at the compass in his hand, and the direction was a little confused. He replied without turning his head: "Isn't it normal to be quiet? There is no one else except us..."

wrong!

Nan Yue's face became serious. "There are many wild animals here, why is it so quiet?"

Whenever she entered the back mountain of Taoyuan Village, she could hear the howling of wolves or the cry of birds from time to time.

But once they entered this place, their voices disappeared and there was only the rustling sound of leaves in the night wind.

It was as if there was no living thing except them.

This is not normal.

Master Feng also reacted suddenly. The direction of the compass was completely messed up and began to move randomly...

at the same time.

The ground shook violently.

Even the pearl lamps floating in the air began to shake.

Nan Yue steadied his body, holding the hilt of the sword, ready to draw the sword at any time.

Fang Miaoyin pulled out a handful of talismans from her bag.

Yunci shook his body and hid behind Nanyue. Duchen's eyes flashed with a golden light, and seeing the scene in the distance, he said: "It's a monster tide, don't fight, run!"

Nan Yue was the one who reacted the fastest. Without saying a word, she just ran in a random direction. The scholar quickly followed her...

It’s just that the beast tide is too fast.

"It's just a monster, not worth it..."

Before Master Feng finished speaking, he saw pairs of red animal eyes flashing in the darkness. They were endless and simply made his scalp tingle.

All kinds of monsters, stimulated by something unknown, lost their minds...

Monsters have no intelligence and are indeed easier to deal with than monsters.

But the premise is that the number is not that large.

Human magic power is limited. Facing so many monsters, sooner or later, they will be trapped and killed.

Master Feng killed a few monsters, then found an opening and flew away...

"Lightning Talisman, strike! Fire Control Talisman, ignite!"

Fang Miaoyin threw talismans, which were quite effective at first, but there were too many of them.

Soon she had used up all the talismans in her stack.

The monster was enraged by her and rushed towards her even faster.

What's worse is that in the chaos, her junior brother was separated from her.

With a click, the pearl lamp fell down and the vision fell into darkness.

Demonic beasts are different from monsters and demons. They have no intelligence, but are much stronger than ordinary wild beasts.

Fang Miaoyin met a pair of scarlet eyes, and the stench from the beast's mouth made her feel nauseous.

She drew out the iron knife from her waist, nimbly killed a monster, turned around and hid behind a tree.

But he didn't notice that a snake-like monster was approaching from the tree, baring its fangs...

"Senior sister, where are you?"

Ye Shijiu's voice sounded anxious.

Junior brother!

Fang Miaoyin was about to reply, "I'm..."

A golden light flashed, and the snake above her head broke into two sections, with blood dripping down.

Du Chen grabbed her wrist and said, "Excuse me, we can't stay here for long, let's go!"

Fang Miaoyin's heart was beating fast. When she heard Du Chen's gentle and kind voice, she forgot about the previous danger and her worried junior brother. It seemed that as long as Du Chen was there, everything was not a problem.

Ye Shijiu flew into the air, not caring about his limited mana, and quickly jumped away by stepping on the tree trunk...

A sudden wave of monsters separated the people.

Nan Yue didn't know where she was running to. She stopped only when there was no trace of monsters around.

The scholar was panting, gasping for breath, and sweating profusely.

Nan Yue was not worried about other people, as those with brains knew to run away.

They seemed to have reached a lake, with moonlight shining on the surface of the lake.

Nan Yue looked at the sparkling water and thought, logically speaking, there shouldn't be so many monsters in the mountains, and it seems like they suddenly appeared...

She had a vague guess in her mind that they might be discovered as soon as they got close to this place.

But why did they use so many monsters in the first wave when they could have attacked them secretly?

It's like...

Force them to separate?
