Chapter 113 Entering the Dark Valley
Chapter 113 Entering the Dark Valley
Zhao Mie and Wei Hu also rode a horse, which was left behind by the people of Hongyun Sect. Ning Ji only took one horse away at that time, so there was one left, which was a bargain for them.
As for Si Rong, the people of Bai Shi Sect felt sorry for her and asked a female disciple to take her for a ride, but this was only for a short distance and they had no intention of rescuing her from Zhao Mie. There was no need for them to cause trouble for a woman.
The group hurriedly got on their horses and ran through the village, trying not to make too much noise, towards the back mountain.
The temperature has dropped today and the weather is gloomy. The autumn wind is blowing and fallen leaves are fluttering all over the mountains.
It was already quite cold outside the forest, but after entering the forest, it felt even colder.
At this moment, the mountains and forests here seemed to be shrouded in endless haze, dark and gloomy. In addition to the cold chill in the air, there was also some indescribable smell of corruption and mildew, as well as various grass and wood smells.
The deeper you go into the forest, the colder the air becomes, making you feel gloomy and gloomy.
The trees here are tall and dense, blocking out the sun. There are many vines wrapped around the trunks, hanging high up. When the wind blows, they sway, adding a weird atmosphere to this dark forest, making it look particularly creepy.
The people from Taiyi Sect and Baishi Sect were fine, but Zhao Mie and Wei Hu felt an indescribable discomfort after they left. Although they were bandits, they generally would not easily step into such a forest with too much yin energy.
Passing through this forest is the place where yin gathers, also known as the Dark Valley.
When they got here, everyone fell silent and became alert.
Because it's so quiet!
It was so quiet that only the sound of the wind remained, and even the insects and birds were nowhere to be seen!
Seeing this situation, Zhao Mie and Wei Hu couldn't help but think of the night when they encountered the monster!
The two men walked at the end cautiously, weapons in hand for precaution, without saying much.
The people from Baishi Sect and Taiyi Sect also drew their swords and slowly rode their horses forward.
They came here two years ago, but after suppressing the vengeful spirits, except for the focus of yin energy, this place has returned to normal. But today, something is very wrong!
Thinking that Ning Ji had gone ahead, could it be that he had released the vengeful spirits here?
Except for Zhao Mie and Wei Hu, everyone in the group had the same guess. For a moment, they became more alert and rode their horses slowly while taking out some things to suppress and exorcise evil spirits.
Zhao Mie and Wei Hu were standing behind them, looking at the various items they took out to ward off evil spirits, and they couldn't help but feel panicked. Could there really be evil spirits here?
If you think about it carefully, the deserted village was haunted before and it was people from their sect who cleaned it up. Only they themselves know the inside story. Now seeing how nervous he is, it is really possible that they didn’t clean it up completely!
Thinking of this possibility, Zhao Mie and Wei Hu cursed in their hearts and spurred their horses to follow them.
But the further they went into the valley, the stronger the sense of crisis that suddenly arose in their hearts.
Wuwu~wuwu~
The mountain wind howled like a ghost and never stopped, making them even more defensive.
Suddenly, they saw the figures of Ning Ji and Si He. They were sitting on a rock in the distance with calm expressions. Their horses were tied to a big tree, as if they were waiting for them.
A group of people stopped their horses, watched from a distance, and did not move forward. Inexplicably, they felt that the two men seemed to have a conspiracy. Since they were waiting here, it must be no good!
He Biao rode his horse a step closer and said loudly, "I wonder why you two are waiting here? My Baishi Sect has no grudge against you two. If you want to settle a personal grudge, we will not interfere."
He made it clear that he believed the two men were staying to attack Taiyi Sect and the others. Otherwise, why were they waiting here? The officers behind them would probably catch up soon. Could they be waiting for them to leave together?
Anyway, their Baishi Sect will no longer care about the life and death of Taiyi Sect members. Although Xie Meng received the promised reward, he kept silent about the matter of the elixir of immortality. Moreover, the relationship between the two sects has been very tense in the past two days. How could they help Taiyi Sect members again?
When the people from Taiyi Sect heard this, their faces turned ugly. They were angry at the people from Baishi Sect, but they hated Ning Ji and the other two even more, especially Xie Meng and Xie Ying. They looked as if they wanted to skin them alive!
But everyone was quite rational at this time, knowing that Ning Ji and the others could control the snake group, and in this dark forest, there must be more poisonous snakes. If the snake group attacked again, it would be dangerous!
"We've caught a monster and want to study it. If you're not interested, please leave."
Everyone had different expressions when they heard Ning Ji's words. At this critical moment when they were escaping, what kind of monster were they studying?
Zhao Mie and Wei Hu immediately thought of the monster covered with scales. Could it be that it was captured by Ning Ji?
He Biao asked doubtfully: "Where is the monster?"
Ning Ji took a small stone and threw it into a pit not far away. The next moment, a terrifying roar came from the pit!
Roar! ! !
The sound was like that of a wild beast or a corpse, shrill and ferocious.
Some timid female disciples and Si Rong were so frightened that their faces turned pale. Just hearing the sound was creepy!
He Biao and others frowned and wanted to steer the horses forward, but the horses were frightened and became a little manic. Not only did they refuse to move forward, they even wanted to turn around and escape!
Helplessly, they retreated a distance first. He Biao asked others to look after the horse first, and then dismounted and walked forward with several disciples who were good at fighting.
They drew their swords cautiously, fearing that Ning Ji would cheat. As they walked, they kept looking at Ning Ji and the other man.
It was not until they reached the pit that they opened their eyes wide in shock, and raised their swords vigilantly and defensively, facing the monster in the pit!
They had never seen such a horrifying monster!
This human-like monster was covered with blue-black scales all over its body. Its head was round and also covered with scales. It opened its mouth wide, revealing a mouthful of sharp fangs, and stared at him with a pair of snake-like vertical pupils. It looked extremely terrifying!
They were all very nervous, and only after a while did they realize that the monster could not move!
It just sat quietly in the pit, staring at them!
"Big Brother! What's going on?"
The people behind saw He Biao and others holding swords and standing in front of the pit in a daze. They didn't know what was going on, and they were too far away to see anything.
He Biao didn't say anything, but his junior fellow student beside him shouted back, "There really is a monster! A monster covered in scales!"
People in the distance became curious when they heard this.
Seeing that there was no danger ahead, Zhao Mie and Wei Hu immediately dismounted and walked forward quickly.
Seeing this, the others also dismounted and went over there curiously.
Even Xie Meng was supported by Liu Xi and walked slowly forward to see what was going on.
When they walked to the pit, they all cried out in shock.
