"It's getting dark. We need to find a place to rest for the night." Su Heng suggested as he looked at the sunset gradually setting on the top of the mountain.

"Okay." Su Li said that she had no problem.

After running around for more than three days, she did feel a little tired.

After searching around, there were no hotels or inns around, so Su Heng and his party could only continue moving forward. When we came to the foot of the mountain, we were lucky this time. There was an abandoned earth temple here.

Half of the structure of the Earth Temple collapsed, while the right half was hung with dust and cobwebs.

Bright moonlight was shining through the hole in the roof.

One of the Earth God's arms disappeared, and the other arm stretched forward.

Su Heng stretched out his hand and struck.

Click!

He also tore off his other arm entirely, chopped it into pieces of suitable size, and threw them to Su Li.

"I'm going to take a walk outside to see if there's any danger." Su Heng said, "I'll grab something and come back to bake it."

"The last half of the sentence is the most important," Su Li's smile was teasing.

During the past few days traveling with Su Heng, Su Li gradually gained a clear understanding of her brother's terrifying appetite.

"Gululu!"

There was a cry from Su Li's stomach.

The smile on her face stiffened and slowly turned red, and she reached out to cover her mouth.

"Go quickly!" Su Li elbowed Su Heng on the waist. The latter sighed, turned around and disappeared into the dense forest.

Wow!

The sound of flowing water came from not far away.

The quiet stream reflects the moonlight, and a deer with beautiful patterns is lowering its head to drink water.

The deer's eyes are alert and its ears twitch slightly, always paying attention to what's going on around it.

Uh-huh!

The sound of breaking through the air suddenly came.

The deer raised its head suddenly and jumped up.

Unfortunately, he was still a step too late, and a stone accurately hit the deer's forehead.

The deer's head exploded, and half of his brain disappeared out of thin air. The Tianling Gai flew more than ten meters away, and his brain mixed with blood gurgled out.

"good!"

With a smile on his face, Su Heng's tall and burly body appeared next to Xiaolu.

Su Heng put the still twitching little deer on his shoulders and turned around to leave to meet his sister.

But he just walked a few steps forward.

Su Heng stopped.

His brows furrowed slightly, his nose twitched, and he could vaguely detect the smell of corpses in the air.

"This is..." It's not surprising that there are rotting corpses in the forest. What's strange is that the smell is also mixed with a subtle smell of demons.

"Are there so many demons in the world now? Let's go and take a look first."

Su Heng was shocked.

He tapped the ground with his toes, and his whole body turned into a black light, parting the bushes in front of him and rushing towards the direction of the smell.

At the same time, a big hole was broken in the Earth Temple.

Su Li and Xiao Qing had just raised the bonfire when they heard footsteps coming from outside.

Su Li raised her head, a look of caution on her face.

In the moonlight outside the door, two figures, a man and a woman, walked slowly.

Both of them are young in appearance, in their twenties. The woman has a graceful figure and charming eyes. Her tight purple skirt outlines the plump outline of her chest. The man also has red lips, white teeth, handsome appearance, and is dressed like a fair-faced scholar.

"You two girls, could you let us, brother and sister, take a break here?" the woman stopped and spoke proactively.

"We also have some food and dried meat here that we can share with you." The man in white said.

Su Li didn't answer in a hurry.

Instead, he took out the demon-seeking disk and injected some energy into it. When he saw no response from it, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"We are destined to meet each other, no need to be polite." Su Li nodded implicitly and stepped aside.

"Thank you so much, sister." The woman in purple thanked her in a soft voice.

The two sat down.

The handsome scholar-looking man took out the marinated dried meat from his pocket bag and handed it to Su Li and Xiaoqing.

"No need, we just had something to eat." Su Li shook her head and refused without thinking.

She has some fondness for these two people, but she still needs to be wary.

Young people are not forced to do anything.

The firewood crackled in the campfire, and several people chatted while grilling meat.

During the conversation, Su Li learned the names of the two siblings.

The elder sister is Xu Ziyi, and the younger brother is Xu Baixia. Their family suffered a sudden change, and they went to Baihua County this time to seek refuge with a distant relative.

"It's pity that my family of 30 people, overnight... ugh." Xu Ziyi's face was full of sorrow.

As he spoke, he sighed repeatedly, the corners of his eyes were slightly red, and crystal tears fell down.

"My condolences, sister." Seeing her sincere affection, Su Li was a little moved, so she said a few words of comfort. Su Li asked again, "I don't know what happened to my sister's family? But it was a robber, or for other reasons."

"It's not a robber, but..."

Xu Ziyi glanced around before lowering his voice, "I heard an old Taoist priest passing by said that it was a demon causing trouble."

"demon!?"

Hearing this word, Su Li suddenly became energetic, "Is there really a demon in this world?"

"This...who knows?" Xu Ziyi said sadly.

She shook her head and recalled what had happened. She was obviously very sad and did not continue to speak. She just lowered her head and sobbed, her shoulders shaking constantly.

Su Li was curious, but was embarrassed to continue asking, and the atmosphere fell into silence for a while.

"It's amazing that you two women can walk around the world on your own." Xu Baixia looked at the long sword next to Su Li and spoke meaningfully.

"I just learned the tricks from a master for two years." Su Li answered vaguely.

At this time, she was wondering why Su Heng hadn't come back yet.

Could it be that he encountered some unexpected situation.

But...

It shouldn't be.

Su Heng's monster-like strength, even if he really encountered a demon in the mountains, it would definitely not be him who was unlucky.

Just when Su Li frowned and thought, feeling a little worried.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew outside, the trees on both sides rustled, dark clouds rolled, blocking the moonlight, and in the weak firelight, blurry figures appeared out of thin air.

Su Li's delicate eyebrows slowly stood up, "Who!"

She stood up suddenly, holding the long sword in her hand.

"Xu Ziyi, Xu Baixia, do you really think you two can get away?" A cold voice came, "Hand over the Tianluo Book, and I can let you die more easily!"

A thin man wearing a bamboo hat slowly walked into the door of the dilapidated land temple.

The man's face was wrapped in a white cloth, which was soaked in pus and turned yellow-brown, with only two eyes exposed.

As soon as this man entered the temple.

A strong stench of rotting corpses emanated, as if it had formed a substance, choking people a little breathless.

"Demon!?" Su Li was shocked, but quickly figured it out, "No, it should be a demon servant! His target is not me, but the two people beside him."
