With her eyes carefully observing the forest, Zhou Yi, standing beside Huo Yuhao, found that her senses had been enhanced several times over, allowing her to see even the smallest details.
For example, broken tree branches, shallow footprints left on the ground, and tattered cloth left on tree branches.
And the traces of blood left by the tiny, sharp thorns.
Following the clues and with Yan Shaozhe carefully leading the way, they gradually emerged from the grove of trees in front of them.
Yan Shaozhe suddenly raised his hand, and the students following behind him immediately squatted down and quickly approached him.
Yan Shaozhe said in a deep voice, "The numerous messy footprints ahead clearly indicate that someone has walked this path. The enemy is already not far away, and their main camp is probably just ahead. Everyone, prepare for battle."
" Dean Yan, you're amazing."
Dai Yueheng praised in a low voice. Apart from Ma Xiaotao, Tang Ya, and Jiang Nannan, whose expressions remained unchanged, the other students clearly showed more respect in their eyes.
The students were eager to try, and the Soul Ring beneath their feet rose silently, trying their best to suppress the luster on the Soul Ring.
A tremendous amount of energy is accumulating within the sparse woods.
Yan Shaozhe closed his eyes slightly, and his Spiritual Power rapidly probed forward.
Using his Spiritual Power to quickly scan the area, Yan Shaozhe immediately spotted an unusual small hill about 500 meters ahead.
Countless footprints descended the hillside and then disappeared into a cave.
This must be the cave where the so-called Hand of Death Bandit Group hiding.
Yan Shaozhe immediately directed his Spiritual Power towards the cave, but for some reason, after entering the cave only two meters, his Spiritual Power seemed to sink into the sea and could no longer penetrate.
Yan Shaozhe quickly withdrew his Spiritual Power, guessing that there must be Soul Tool or substance in the cave that prevents Spiritual Power from detecting souls.
"The cave where they're hiding is just 500 meters down the hillside ahead. The moment I left, everyone quickly moved in that direction to prepare for the rescue."
Yan Shaozhe used his Soul Power to transmit his thoughts and clearly explained his plans.
Seeing everyone nod in agreement, Yan Shaozhe's eyes flickered, and his Soul Power erupted from his body. His figure was like a phoenix as he instantly rushed out.
Ma Xiaotao and the others didn't delay either, and acted almost simultaneously. More than a dozen dark figures rushed out of the woods and headed towards the cave.
Inside the cave.
Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er's hands were firmly bound to the cross, their delicate hands tightly restrained.
The coarse hemp rope was very rough, and the binding method was also brutal. Their wrists were covered with small scratches, and blood was even seeping out, dripping down their arms and onto the ground.
The prolonged restraints had left both of them pale, their once rosy lips now devoid of any color.
His eyes were tightly closed, his brows were unconsciously furrowed, and sweat kept pouring down his forehead, making him look like he was in great pain.
Hehehehe...
The Death Messenger stared greedily at the two delicate beauties before him, drool dripping from his mouth, his eyes like those of a wolf.
In his eyes, the scent of blood emanating from Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er was so rich and sweet that he couldn't resist the urge to go forward and take a bite.
Such a beauty must taste delicious and sweet, and might even help one's cultivation reach a higher level.
The Death Messenger reached out uncontrollably towards the two people hanging on the cross.
A flash of white light appeared, and a blood-red tiger claw blocked his path, its edge radiating a dangerous, cold light.
Dai Huabin's eyes flashed with ruthlessness as he warned, "I've told you before, they're not people you can touch."
The Death Messenger stared intently at Dai Huabin, surveying the numerous wounds on his body, and sneered disdainfully, "You? What's wrong with me taking a bite? It's not like I'm going to kill them. Leaving them alive is the same thing."
"Having been here for so long, there's really nothing I've wanted to do but couldn't!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Death Messenger transformed his hand into a claw, his fingertips carrying an aura of death, and ruthlessly grabbed at Dai Huabin.
Dai Huabin showed no fear, his face Entanglement countless black lines, and his tiger claws charged fiercely forward.
Just as their attacks were about to collide, a bolt of destructive lightning exploded within them, forcing them back.
Bei Bei emerged from the shadows, her tall figure framed by a black dragon claw held out to the side, crackling with malevolent lightning. "I've said it before, no one is allowed to touch either of them."
"If you can't understand human language, Long Xuanzu can destroy you with one hand."
The Death Messenger immediately withdrew his hand, a fawning smile spreading across his face, "Hahaha, I was just joking, don't worry about it..."
Dai Huabin roared, looking at his ugly face, his swollen body slowly returning to normal, and sneered disdainfully.
Seeing that it dared not make any further rash moves, Bei Bei slowly withdrew its dragon claw. With a flash of electricity, its right hand returned to its original appearance.
He approached Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er, and without any hesitation, pinched their soft cheeks with both hands.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Huo Yuhao is really lucky. I didn't even notice how many beautiful women are around him."
Dai Huabin approached, a cold smile playing on his lips, " Xiao Xiao is Huo Yuhao's girlfriend, and Wang Dong'er with him is also ambiguous. I don't believe he wouldn't come."
"When the time comes, I will skin those two alive in front of him, and refine their souls into slaves, only then can I vent my hatred!"
Dai Huabin became more and more excited as he spoke, and even his eyes flashed with madness as he fantasized about that kind of pleasure.
The Death Messenger looked at the two of them, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes, but seemingly wary of something, he didn't retaliate and slowly retreated.
After confirming that neither of them could hear him anymore, he began to curse loudly.
"Damn it, so what if he's a Titled Douluo with connections! Once I become Titled Douluo myself, I'll kill you all sooner or later! Hahahaha!"
The sound echoed continuously in the empty cave, where human skins hung suspended in mid-air.
There were even several fresh corpses hanging above the cave, dripping blood continuously. The corpses included men and women, and even a newborn baby.
The Death Messenger slightly opened his mouth and swallowed the dripping blood in one gulp, the blood splattering and flowing from the corners of his mouth.
With a gulp, a mouthful of blood was swallowed. "Mmm~ How wonderful."
The wind whistled past, and the Death Messenger had been looking satisfied, suddenly sensed something was wrong.
Normally, there should be people patrolling this place for me. Where are the servants from my own Hand of Death Bandit Group?
Just as he was still wondering, the dark cave in the distance was slowly illuminated.
His pupils dilated instantly, and he stood there dumbfounded, his face filled with disbelief.
A Phoenix, radiating a rich aura of light that illuminated the entire cave, rushed towards him in an instant!
Phew!
As the cry of a phoenix rang out, the Death Messenger felt himself fly up into the air, his eyes wide open and trembling, unable to believe what was happening.
His mind went blank as countless memories flooded in. Before he could even understand what was happening, large areas of his body began to dissolve, and he was completely vaporized in the blink of an eye.
Death is like the wind!
Everything in the cave was instantly purified, leaving no trace of evil.
