Venerated Venomous Consort

There would be a blood rainfall at midnight tomorrow, and the villagers’ rest station was 80 miles away from Luo Hua City. The journey would be full of obstacles. Ferocious beasts would probably attack them along the way. If the villagers could depart tomorrow morning, they might be able to arrive in Luo Hua City at night; hence, they did not have much time.

Gu Xijiu had a discussion with Di Fuyi about the best way forward. However, it seemed like it was best that they go separate ways. Di Fuyi would hunt for Chinese Alligators and retrieve their spiritual stones to enter the city. Meanwhile, Gu Xijiu would bring the 12 hunters to meet the villagers and bring everyone out tomorrow morning.

The 12 of them knew the strategies to find the Chinese Alligators; hence, they quickly shared it to Di Fuyi without any delay. With these strategies and Di Fuyi’s capabilities, it was not difficult for him to kill a few Chinese Alligators in a day. Di Fuyi preferred to search for the Chinese Alligators after sending Gu Xijiu and the 12 of them back to the village. After all, Gu Xijiu could not perform teleportation with all 12 of them. It was very risky, especially since many ferocious beasts often attack people at night. He was worried about her safety.

Gu Xijiu did not manage to change his mind; hence, they followed his plan. Therefore, all of them returned to the village together. Fortunately, these 12 disciples of the Zhuiri clan were all experts, so they managed to stick to the schedule. Certainly, they were attacked by some ferocious beasts along the journey, but they managed to defeat them. Coupled with the assistance from Gu Xijiu and Di Fuyi, they had a generally smooth journey.

The oldest disciple of the Zhuiri clan, also known as Zhao Fengxing, was a very passionate, helpful, and loyal person. While journeying together, he sighed. “I cannot believe that you were trapped in the forest. Honestly, I heard that the beasts are more ferocious as you go deeper into the forest. There are also many vicious monsters. A number of experts did not even return since they entered the forest.” There were about 12 to 13 miles to go when Zhao Fengxing said that.

Gu Xijiu was not too pleased with what she had heard. Coincidentally, right after he finished talking, black smoke rose from the ground in the distance. Also, the temperature of the surrounding immediately turned chilly!

They could see a shadow in the size of a small hill behind the smoke. Someone screamed, “Gosh! It is carrying two lanterns… Has it turned into a fairy?”

Gu Xijiu quickly drew her sword. “How does it look like lanterns? It is the eyes of a monster!”

Suddenly, Di Fuyi shouted, “Run! Now!”

When he finished shouting, the dark shadow suddenly exploded and spread all over the place. It turned into more than ten beams of black smoke that were aimed at the group.

Gu Xijiu managed to see it more clearly now. She realized that it was not just one monster but hundreds of flying monsters! It looked like an insect, but its size was definitely much larger. Each of them was as big as a man with a pair of shiny sickles.

Gu Xijiu did not know its name, but she was definitely concerned! They might be able to win the battle if there were only three to five of them; however, there were a few hundred!
