The forbidden grounds of Mount Yunmeng (2/3)

As night fell, the moon rose high in the sky.

Is this the place?

Looking at the You Chong, who had finally managed to arrive at this place, frowned.

Fortunately, You Chong had anticipated this.

He immediately began casting a spell, summoning a fierce wind in an attempt to disperse the mist.

For You Chong, who was once Roaring Heaven Clan, this was merely a most basic instinct.

Call!

When the gale swept up, the vegetation in the mountains and forests was bent and twisted.

The mist that shrouded this mountain forest showed no sign of dissipating.

Instead, as if some kind of defense mechanism had been triggered, many You Chong insects that Youzhong had never seen before quickly flew out of the mist.

Buzzing.

The insects were colorful, yet they shared common characteristics and habits.

Startled by the You Chong, the insects flew at an astonishing speed toward the seven orifices of nearby animals.

"What the hell?! What is this thing?!"

With a sudden flick of his sleeve, You Chong used a gust of wind to blow away the few Sleepy Bug closest to him.

To his utter surprise, the Sleepy Bug seemed to have locked onto a target and immediately flew towards the direction of the You Chong.

During this process, some special species of Sleepy Bug also exhibited extremely strong aggression.

"Ah!"

It was just something that happened unexpectedly.

You Chong was bitten by a Sleepy Bug that was clearly poisonous.

If You Chong hadn't already possessed the Blood Demon's body, the mere spread of the poison in that instant would have been enough to kill him.

Most importantly, as these Sleepy Bug were disturbed, other "things" also appeared in the mist.

Those were all sorts of spiders.

Although they are not as aggressive as Sleepy Bug, their numbers far exceed You Chong's imagination.

He couldn't even comprehend how this tiny patch of mist could possibly nurture so many spiders.

"We should never underestimate any of these strange places in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range."

I realize it was my own negligence.

You Chong immediately adjusted his battle strategy, and his entire figure instantly transformed into countless blood shadows, rushing towards the mist.

"Who goes there!"

In the blink of an eye, Hanging Silk Lady's figure appeared in the mist.

Along with the Hanging Silk Lady, a spider web that had somehow spread across most of the mist also appeared.

Those spider webs are not strong webs used for hunting; their purpose is merely to warn the Hanging Silk Lady.

After all, Hao Sui was an old monster who had lived for countless years.

Hanging Silk Lady had a very clear understanding of her own position and identity.

If only I dared to treat this fog as a hunting ground.

That petty lynx would probably chase me away immediately.

In contrast, simply laying down some spider silk for warning purposes is also a way for Hanging Silk Lady to indirectly express her attitude to Xiluo.

Calling her a "watchdog" might be a slight insult to Hanging Silk Lady.

But she was indeed willing to guard Mount Yunmeng, just to gain some favor and guidance from Li Boyang.

It can only be said that the cunning and shrewd Hanging Silk Lady really knows how to take advantage of others, and she doesn't care at all about the past grudges she had with Xiluo and Deception Rabbit.

"A tiny spider dares to block my way!"

Even though it transforms into countless blood shadows, the power of the Blood Demon still surpasses the limits that ordinary spirits and monsters can imagine.

In the blink of an eye, a bloody shadow pounced on Hanging Silk Lady, causing her body to wither and become emaciated at a visible speed.

"Damn it! It's that weird ability again!"

Hanging Silk Lady, who had almost had her life force drained by the Six-Tailed Fox, immediately realized that these blood shadows all possessed the ability to absorb Blood Qi.

Unless one is like Li Boyang or Li Jingshu, who have cultivated the Breathing Method to perfection and can freely control the flow of Life Primordial Qi within their body.

Otherwise, even a powerful spirit, as strong as a god, would not be able to withstand the attacks of these blood shadows.

This has nothing to do with strength; it's simply a natural advantage that monsters like Blood Demon have over flesh and blood.

Fortunately, this fog wasn't just inhabited by Sleepy Bug and the spiders of the Hanging Silk Lady.

Rumble...

A faint blue light spread through the mist.

One by one, replica "Fang Boar" charged out from within in battle formation.

Compared to the flawed versions from a month ago, these newly grown "Fang Boar" are noticeably more regular in shape.

Aside from a slight lack of agility, the sheer power generated by nearly a hundred "Fang Boar" charging forward far surpasses that of a normal army in this era.

Unfortunately, their opponent this time was no ordinary person either.

Even with the azure light of the Nüman, these "Fang Boar" possessed the ability to harm the Blood Demon.

But the Blood Demon isn't stupid.

After realizing that his intangible form was ineffective against the "Fang Boar," he decisively chose to dodge and avoid it.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The blood-red shadows shot into the sky, passing by the "Fang Boar" army with lightning speed. This is when the weaknesses of these "Fang Boar" became apparent.

Completely devoid of any spirit, they have no idea who their enemy is, and continue charging straight ahead until they break through the fog completely.

"Outside—what's going on?"

Hearing the earth tremble violently beside him, Mu Chuan, who was hanging on a tree branch, opened his sleepy eyes.

Although only a head remained, Mu Chuan's five senses were not weakened in the slightest; on the contrary, they were enhanced to some extent.

"Blood Demon?"

Qingfu was awakened by Mu Chuan's voice.

When she opened her eyes and saw the blood-red figures appearing in the mist, her voice trembled violently.

"How did he get here? Is he here to kill me?!"

Blood Demon, acting as Xuan Ta's black glove during the reform period, committed countless evil deeds for him over those three years.

The reason why Qingfu was so persistent in investigating the truth about the king, Chongming, was largely because the Blood Demon's methods were too cruel.

Almost all the Guifang Kingdom he killed turned into dry, withered skeletons.

Amidst the widespread fear, how could Qingfu not be afraid of this demon lurking in the darkness of the Guifang Kingdom?

"Kill you?"

"You overestimate yourself."

Upon hearing this, Mu Chuan remained remarkably calm, even offering a somewhat mocking retort.

"The Green Wood Clan is dead, and you have become part of this great tree—"

"Even the secrets you tried to hide have been completely exposed. What value do you have left to be hunted down by someone of that level?"

At this point, Mu Chuan paused slightly.

"In my opinion, the Blood Demon is more likely to be after this mountain than after you."
