"Don't stop! Keep running! Don't look back!"
Not far behind them, four Qi Gathering Realm cultivators could be seen exerting themselves to cast all manner of spells, resisting the spread of a dark crimson mist.
"Waaah!"
Within that eerie mist, frenzied Blood Corpses would charge out from time to time.
Whether mortals or ordinary wild beasts and livestock, once corroded by this evil mist, they would instantly lose their reason and become monsters thirsty for blood.
Moreover, under the influence of this evil mist, even mundane creatures could possess the combat strength of the Qi Gathering Realm after going berserk.
If no measures were taken to suppress it and it was allowed to run rampant, every living thing across this entire plateau would become a terrifying army of Blood Corpses.
Whoosh—
Swish—
While suppressing the spread of the evil mist, the four Qi Gathering Cultivators also had to divide their attention to cast spells and slaughter the Blood Corpses charging toward them.
They were all elites of the Demon Extermination Squad from the Northeast. Their mission this time had been to join two Senior Brothers from their sect in exterminating a group of evil cultists located on the plateau.
At first, everything had gone smoothly. Guided by the Turtle Shell Secret Treasure, they had silently dealt with all the sentries and scouts around the cult.
But when they infiltrated the cult's cave and prepared to wipe them out in one fell swoop, they accidentally triggered a warning restriction.
The two sides immediately came to blows, launching into a chaotic battle within the cave.
Led by one of the Northeast's heavenly geniuses, the cultivators of the Demon Extermination Squad quickly gained the upper hand.
After the leading Demon Sect Protector was suppressed, the casualties among the evil cultists also rose sharply.
