Something is wrong...
Li Yan was puzzled and continued to observe his surroundings.
This place was probably where Wu Ba's tribe used to be, and was later captured by the Heavenly Saint Sect, but now it has obviously changed.
The bones were piled up in a mess, all looking pale, and the flesh on them had been picked clean, indicating that they had been cooked and were just discarded in a heap of garbage.
But the human skull is different.
It was cast as Jing Guan, firstly to show off, and secondly to shock.
There were torn clothes next to it...
The target of shock is undoubtedly people!
Li Yan quickly came to a conclusion in his mind.
This place must have been occupied by a savage tribe, and it is very likely that it is still in a hostile relationship with the Heavenly Saint Sect!
Just then, there was movement on the cliff.
I saw a few huge black shadows emerging from the caves of the ancient ancestors, standing on Stone Platform and looking around.
Li Yan felt a chill immediately after seeing it.
These "things" are tall, standing at least three meters tall, with bear-like lower bodies and thick hair on their heads. Although their lips are extremely thick and their brows are extremely wide, they have the outline of a human face.
What's even weirder is that they only have one arm, which grows in the chest area, and only one leg, which is as thick as their body.
Shen Kui, with a human face and an animal body, one arm and one leg...
What you read in books and what you saw with your own eyes are completely different things. Li Yan simply couldn't figure out how such a thing could come into existence in the world?
Of course, this thing is not considered an animal. It is purely classified as a mountain spirit and is naturally a different species.
Cha-!
Cha--!
Suddenly, there was a cry from the sky, varying in length.
Then a strong wind blew, and several black figures fluttered and fell down. They were also three meters tall and had wings spread seven or eight meters. They looked like Night Owl, but they had human faces.
It's the same thing that attacked the falcon before!
Li Yan Only then discovered that the facial contours of these "Human-Faced Owl" were almost exactly the same as those of "Shenkui", and their lower bodies also only had a single giant claw.
"Human-Faced Owl" flapped its wings and hovered in the air. The "Shenkui" below was not only not afraid, but also took out the roasted meat pieces from the hole and threw them into the air one after another, where they were caught and torn apart by "Human-Faced Owl".
"Chacha! Chacha da da..."
The two sides exchanged words with each other.
And I still use Superior Language!
Looking at the similar faces of the two, Li Yan suddenly had an idea in his mind that this "Human-Faced Owl" is also a kind of "Shenkui"!
They belong to the same ethnic group, but have different divisions of labor.
This Shennongjia is indeed extraordinary.
You know, <Record of Mysterious Creatures> is a summary of Demon Hunter throughout the dynasties, and the experience of countless ancestors has never recorded this special situation.
After eating enough meat, several "Human-Faced Owl" fluttered their wings again, flew into the thick fog and disappeared.
The "gods" yawned and went back into the cave, obviously trying to sleep.
Li Yan took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It was just after noon Three Religions.
Most of these things sleep during the day and are active at night, while those Night Owl are responsible for guarding and reconnaissance.
As soon as they saw the falcon, they immediately attacked, indicating that they knew it was a spy. They probably learned from the fight with the Heavenly Saint Sect...
Thinking of this, Li Yan quickly and quietly retreated.
Returning to the hidden jungle, Li Yan immediately recounted what he saw and heard.
"Trouble..."
Sha LiFei was a little confused after hearing this, "It seems that the demon Heavenly Saint Sect is in front. If they want to guard against these divine leaders, they will definitely deploy heavy troops. It is not that easy to sneak in and investigate."
Everyone looked solemn, having thought of the key point.
Shen Kui Tribe can drive Heavenly Saint Sect away, it must be more than this power. There are still many people sleeping in that cave of ancestors.
And Heavenly Saint Sect can make Shen Kui Tribe so alert.
The strength cannot be underestimated.
They are caught in it, no matter which one is disturbed, it will be trouble.
Li Yan thought for a moment, then turned around and said, "Brother Lu San, can you control animals and inquire about the surrounding situation?"
"No."
Lu San said with a solemn expression, "I have tried it. All the beasts in this area have been controlled by some kind of magic. At most, we can make them quiet and not expose our whereabouts."
"Before Human-Faced Owl passed by, a bird nearby tried to chirp, but I calmed it down."
Li Yan frowned and said, "According to what <Record of Mysterious Creatures> said, this god can not only control wild beasts, but also Demons and Monsters in the mountains."
"I'm afraid it's even more dangerous at night. If we can't find a way to pass before dark, we have to leave immediately."
"Me! Me!"
At this moment, Wu Ba waved his arms anxiously, and then pointed to the ground, "Villain, villain, look for them!"
Wu Ba is gifted, all in his muscles. After learning human language for so long, he still can't express himself clearly in many cases, but everyone can also see that Wu Ba said there is a way.
Lu San quickly used Superior Language to communicate with him.
After the two talked for a while, Lu San frowned, "Wu Ba said that there is a tunnel under the mountain, but it was blocked with mud to prevent 'Jingren' from stealing things."
"The other end of the tunnel is in the caves of the ancestors, but only 'Jing Ren' knows about the nearby entrance."
Li Yan thought thoughtfully after hearing this, "'Jingren' lives in the service of the gods. Could it be that there are gods nearby?"
Wu Ba on the side quickly gestured, "Eat, eat, be afraid... friend!"
Lu San saw this and explained, "Wu Ba said that they were just driving them away, but those 'Shengui' like to capture 'Jingren' to devour them, so they should be able to convince 'Jingren' to help."
"Okay, let's look for it first."
Li Yan heard this and immediately agreed to this method.
Whether they can get through the defense line now is another matter. They must find a hiding place before dark, otherwise they will be exposed.
No matter how absurd this method is, as long as there is hope, it is worth trying. After all, there is no better way now.
He pinched the upper joint of the second finger with his left thumb, pinched Yang Seal, turned on Divine Ability, and took a deep breath.
Suddenly, the surrounding smell flooded into the nose.
With his current ability, he can smell the smell from three hundred meters and ten meters underground, but this is just a normal state.
If the full potential is activated, it can be doubled.
Ten meters below, no "Jingren" tunnel was found.
Li Yan immediately concentrated on it and used it with all his strength.
Finally, in the area 20 meters underground, I smelled some unusual smells and was walking around, exactly the same as in Xianshan.
"Found it!"
Li Yan suddenly opened his eyes and led everyone to the left.
The tunnels of "Jingren" extend in all directions, but as you go to the left, they start to obviously rise, which should be where one of the exits is.
Not far away, the sound of breaking through the air above sounded again.
Everyone hurriedly hid and waited for the patrolling Human-Faced Owl to pass by three times before moving on.
According to what Wu Ba said, this thing "Human-Faced Owl" is extremely cunning and will not fall down easily. Once it detects an enemy, it will scream loudly.
Some are responsible for continuing to track, while others are responsible for going back and calling the police. Maggots attached to bones will soon attract a large number of "gods".
"Shenkui" is not only extremely powerful, he can also control wild beasts and Demons and Monsters in the mountains and forests, which is a lot of trouble.
Because of the patrol of "Human-Faced Owl", everyone's speed was obviously slowed down.
Even so, the target was found after half an hour.
"Shh!"
Li Yan signaled everyone to be silent and looked down through the bushes.
I saw a hilly mountain col in front of me, with dense green plants, tangled vines, and tall trees forming a shade, making the mountain col dimly lit and very humid.
Between the vines, there are densely packed mushrooms, with different and strange shapes and colorful colors.
Small figures shuttled among the mushrooms.
They have thick hair and rat-like features. They are dressed in leaf clothes and have small jade pieces hanging around their necks. They are chopping mushrooms with jade axes.
There is also a strong scent of incense on it.
Li Yan After smelling it, he was even more certain that there must be gods near this place, otherwise the "Jingren" tribe would also perish.
Those mushrooms are highly poisonous at first sight.
But for the "Jing people", it seems to be the most delicious food. After some people chop it down, they can't help but secretly stuff a piece into their mouths.
After some chewing, the face of the "Jingren" who had eaten secretly turned red, and he stumbled around like a drunken man, causing other "Jingren" to chase and beat him.
Li Yan looked at Lu San next to him.
He has not forgotten that these "Jingren" can escape from the earth. Once frightened, they will immediately burrow into the earth and disappear.
If we want to communicate, we can only take action from Lu San.
Lu San nodded and took out the bone flute from his arms.
In this case, if you don't want to scare away all those "Jing people", you must use the <Classic of Mountains and Seas Spiritual Responses> secret method as soon as possible.
Wow!
At this moment, a black shadow fluttered its wings.
"Quack! Quack! Quack!"
The black shadow screamed loudly, with a hint of frightening power, and the "Jingren" suddenly staggered around, but most of them burrowed into the soil instantly and disappeared.
After the black shadow fell to the ground, everyone saw clearly that it was a strange bird, somewhat similar to a pheasant, with a green body, red eyes, and beautiful fiery red tail feathers.
It looks a bit like a pheasant, but its head is like a duck.
After the strange bird landed on the ground, its head shook, and it immediately picked up a fainted "Jingren" in its mouth, shaking its neck and swallowed it.
Li Yan's eyes flashed and he jumped out instantly.
While the man was in the air, Soul Severing Throwing Knife roared out of the knife bag and flew around him.
Li Yan Hidden Strength erupted under his feet, like an arrow from a string, leaping twice on the hillside, then leaping high and falling down the mountain col.
Wow!
The strange bird was frightened and flapped its wings.
Li Yan was also in the air at this time, and Soul Severing Throwing Knife shot out immediately.
This strange bird is extremely flexible and flutters its wings in the air, as if it violates the rules of physics, drifting out diagonally to avoid flying knives.
If it were an ordinary flying knife, it would definitely not be able to catch this object, but Li Yan just thought about it, Soul Severing Throwing Knife made a bend in the air, and with a pop, it inserted into the belly of the strange bird.
Li Yan picked it up smoothly, ignored it after landing, picked up a leather bag, and put all the "Jingren" who were too dizzy in time to escape.
Sha LiFei and others also quickly ran down the valley.
"Yan XiaoGe, what is this?"
They knew that if Li Yan hadn't taken action in time, all the "Jingren" would have escaped, and it would be even more difficult to find them.
What everyone is curious about is, what did Li Yan do to catch this strange bird?
Li Yan smiled and picked up the dead strange bird, "If I guess correctly, this is what Yun Lingzi is looking for."
"It's (yǎo)!"
Wang Dao Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stroked his beard and said, "Yes, it looks like a mallard, with a green body, red eyes and a red tail. It is suitable for eating. It should be this thing."
This "" doesn't seem very powerful, but it is a strange bird recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. It can give birth to children after eating it.
They have seen the power of Fei Yi.
This "" might also be sold for a big price.
Sha LiFei immediately smiled when he heard this, carefully took the strange bird, and ran to the side to deal with it.
Lu San came to Li Yan and carefully opened the leather bag.
Several "Jingren" inside had woken up and looked at them with horror on their faces.
Lu San whispered about Superior Language and wanted to communicate with "Jing Ren", but these little guys kept silent and even raised their jade swords and axes to wipe their necks.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
At this moment, Wu Ba came over and also talked about Superior Language, but with an angry face and curses.
This time it seemed like the pot was exploding.
The "gentlemen" in the pocket also jumped and cursed.
After the two parties scolded each other for a while, they seemed to have thought of something, fell silent, and started communicating again using Superior Language.
Lu San saw this and explained in a low voice beside him.
"Mountain Demon Human Hybrid Tribe and 'Jing Ren', although they have disputes, they can still coexist reluctantly. They even give away some when food is in short supply..."
"Wu Ba scolded 'Jingren' for being ungrateful. Seeing Mountain Demon Human Hybrid Tribe being robbed, no one showed up to help. 'Jingren' blamed them for attracting outsiders and disturbing the peace of this place..."
"These 'Jingren' said that they had moved, and the god they served was seriously injured, and was almost eaten by the god Chief leader..."
"Eat God?"
Li Yan was also a little surprised when he heard this.
Then he understood that the "Jingren" served was not a powerful god, but a mountain monster like East Lake Old Ancestor. He still had a physical body, but Divine Soul was sacrificed by the "Jingren".
Thinking of this, Li Yan immediately said, "Tell them that we are not enemies. We may be able to help their 'gods' heal, but they must see people first."
When Lu San heard this, he immediately used Superior Language to communicate, and Wu Ba also helped. After hearing this, the "Jingren" suddenly hesitated.
The leader "Jingren" suddenly spoke and muttered.
Lu San turned around and said, "They want us to let them go first and go back and report to the 'god' before we can make a decision."
Li Yan said without hesitation, "Let them go!"
You won't be able to do it forcefully, you can only express your sincerity first.
After opening the bag, the "Jingren" fell to the ground one after another, and like panicked rabbits, they instantly sank into the ground and disappeared.
Wow!
In the thick fog above, the sound of flapping wings sounded again.
Everyone had to hide in the grass and wait.
This wait lasted for two full hours.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Sha LiFei said a little speechlessly, "These little guys are dishonest, they are obviously fooling us."
Li Yan was also a little helpless, "Let's go, retreat to the hunting trail first, and then think of a way..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly lowered his head and looked at the ground.
I saw a few "Jingren" coming out, muttering to them and waving their hands.
Lu San's eyes lit up, "They agreed, let's go!"
Without saying a word, everyone ran after "Jingren" and came to a deep pool just before the sun was about to set.
The "Jingren" murmured and pointed at the pool, and then used the earth escape technique to disappear into the ground.
Lu San said quickly, "The cave is down there!"
"I'll explore the way!"
Li Yan immediately got out of Profound Water Escape, jumped into the deep pool to explore, and soon surfaced again, saying, "Three meters to the right, the water channel is not long, there is a cave inside, there is no danger."
After everyone heard this, they immediately packed their luggage and sealed all their firearms with oil paper before jumping into the water.
Li Yan is on the last alert.
After everyone entered the water, the sun finally set, the flapping of wings and the roar of wild beasts were heard, and the mist rose from the woods. It was obvious that Shen Kui Tribe began to move.
Li Yan took a deep look and immediately got into the pool.
The original Mountain Demon Human Hybrid Tribe, where the ancient ancestors' cave is located, a godhead came out, waving one arm, roaring crazily, and his eyes glowed with blood in the dark night.
On the cliff of the ruins, a larger Shenkui also emerged. He was five meters tall, covered in white hair, and holding a tattered flag in his hand.
The flags waved, and Yin Wind roared suddenly in the dense forest.
At the same time, in the area where Heavenly Saint Sect is located in the south, there is also a roaring sound, which is vast and loud, like the roar of a dragon...
Second update in the afternoon
