"Damn it!"
Without waiting for Cultivator Xin to raise his head, Shui Mingzi's expression changed and he angrily cursed, "Didn't this old man say it before?
Unless absolutely necessary, don't kill any demon beasts … "
Cultivator Xin was slightly angered by the fact that he was being scolded by two out-of-body Martial Grandmasters. He almost blurted out, "Senior Shui, even if it's just an ordinary little demon beast, I won't bring about a calamity if I kill it, right?"
How could Shui Mingzi be bothered to explain anything to him?
Shui Mingzi made a hand seal and hit his nose with the back of his hand. After that, Shui Mingzi sniffled and his expression changed drastically. He shouted, "Go …" His body turned into a rainbow and without concealing himself, he rushed in the direction where the bat demons had flown to earlier!
"This …" Ao Zhantian was also a bit confused. However, when he saw Shui Mingzi reveal himself, he hurriedly released his spiritual sense. Sure enough, the eyes of all the little demon beasts that had fled or fallen to the ground had turned crimson red. They rushed out from all directions and rushed toward the human cultivators like moths to a flame.
Moreover, when these little demonic beasts scurried over, their mouths emitted squeaking sounds. Although these squeaking sounds were very soft, when there were so many of them, they formed a kind of loud sound that was like the roar of a mountain or a tsunami. This loud sound spread very far in the night sky.
"Damn it …" Ao Zhantian cursed. "What the hell is going on?
Why did these little demon beasts suddenly go crazy? "
Even as he cursed, Ao Zhantian's body also transformed into a streak of light and rushed toward Shui Mingzi.
Although he didn't know what was going on, Cultivator Xin knew that he had caused trouble by killing the little demon beast. He hurriedly shook his hand and threw the little demon beast's minced meat onto a huge tree. His body also transformed into a streak of light and chased after Shui Mingzi.
But what this cultivator surnamed Xin didn't know was that the little demonic beast's flesh was somewhat strange. When he killed the demonic beast with a shake of his hand, a few strands of its blood seeped through his magic power and landed on his Daoist robe.
"Let's go, let's go …" The group of Nascent Soul cultivators also didn't dare to tarry and flew into the distance …
Not long after the human cultivator left, hundreds of small demonic beasts arrived first. They effortlessly discovered the corpses of the small demonic beasts killed by the cultivator surnamed Xin. "Squeak squeak, squeak squeak …" The small demonic beasts closest to the corpses let out hysterical screeches. Then, their entire bodies glowed with a blood-red color. "Puff puff puff …" A series of light popping sounds, like beans being cooked, emerged one after another. Around these small demonic beasts, thumb-sized whirlpools emerged. These whirlpools sprayed out a thin mist of blood, which fused with the aura of the blood on the corpses of the small demonic beasts and spread in all directions.
"Wuuu …" As the thin blood mist spread out, the power of the stars and moon descended from the starry sky onto their bodies. These several small Demonic Beasts suddenly flew up from the giant tree and chased after Shui Mingzi and the other humans!
Just as these small Demonic Beasts left, the dozen or so small Demonic Beasts that were affected by the blood mist also flew up and chased after them.
Behind these dozen or so small Demonic Beasts, the blood mist that had doubled in size once again spread out in all directions.
In the time it took to finish a cup of tea, the blood mist had already covered several dozen kilometers of the mountain forest. The aura of the blood mist had also drifted far away with the night wind. In the air above the blood mist, several thousand small Demonic Beasts fearlessly chased after the human Nascent Soul cultivators who could kill them with a wave of their hand.
"What … What's going on?"
Although Ao Zhantian had flown far away, his spiritual sense had remained on the giant tree this entire time. He had clearly seen everything that had happened. He couldn't believe that the death of a small Demonic Beast would cause such a huge change.
"Sigh …" At this point, Shui Mingzi could only sigh. He looked at Cultivator Xin and the others and explained, "Fellow Daoist Ao, these Demonic Beasts are called Moth-Gathering Beasts. They are Demonic Beasts that I've only recently learned about!
There were many moth-gathering beasts around Chang Qing Mountain. Their divine arts weren't strong, but they were united. If one moth-gathering beast was attacked, all the moth-gathering beasts within a few miles or even dozens of miles would receive the news and attack together!
What's most inconceivable is that when these Moth-Gathering Beasts smell the blood of their own kind, they will immediately go berserk and their abilities will multiply.
What's more, the Moth-Gathering Beasts have the word 'Moth-Gathering Beast' in their name, which means that they're like moths that fly into a flame. Once these Moth-Gathering Beasts go berserk, unless there's a special reason, they'll definitely chase after their prey with no regard for their lives … "
With that said, Shui Mingzi raised a hand and pointed at the Yue Shadows that were flying out from the darkness behind him. He smiled bitterly and said, "As for the rest … I don't think I need to explain further, do I?"
Looking at the black shadows that were flying out like waves, the cultivator surnamed Xin was also helpless. He could only open his mouth again and say, "This junior really doesn't know …"
"Hehe …" Shui Mingzi smiled faintly and waved his hand. "This matter isn't entirely Fellow Daoist Xin Ping's fault. It's also this old man's fault!
Although this old man said that we can't casually attack them, I didn't mention any specific taboos.
These Moth-Gathering Beasts look nothing more than ordinary cattle and sheep on the Hidden Immortal Continent. Who would've thought that they would have such powerful natures? "
"Yes, yes …" The cultivator named Xin Ping's expression relaxed slightly. After a few words of agreement, he hurriedly asked, "Senior Shui, what should we do now?
This junior sees that Senior already has a card up his sleeve! "
Xin Ping's words weren't without a hint of flattery, but Shui Mingzi was very pleased. He glanced at Ao Zhantian and the group of Nascent Soul cultivators and said with a smile, "Since all of you have taken a liking to this old man and Fellow Daoist Ao has invited me with all his might, how could this old man not do his homework?
This old man has been in the Thousand Demons Sacred Realm for over two hundred years. Although I don't dare to say that I know the habits of the Demon Race like the back of my hand, I still have some understanding of them.
Just now, all of you saw that although these Moth-Gathering Beasts are arrogant, they are most afraid of the eagle bats!
In other words, we just saw the Demon Race. As long as we get too close to the eagle bats, these Moth-Gathering Beasts will definitely retreat! "
"So that's how it is!" Ao Zhantian came to a realization and nodded. "We'll have to trouble you, Fellow Daoist!"
"But …" After Xin Ping, another Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivator was rather puzzled. He asked, "This junior still has a question, but I don't know if I should ask it!"
"Xu Tingzi!"
Ao Zhantian glared at the cultivator and scolded, "If you have something to say, then say it. This is the Thousand Demons Sacred Realm, and there are many Demon Beasts and Demon Races all around us. Our situation is also very dangerous, so what's there to be afraid of?"
"Yes, yes!"
Xu Tingzi hurriedly said, "Senior Shui said that these Moth-Gathering Beasts are most afraid of the eagle bats, but … why do these Moth-Gathering Beasts keep moving around the eagle bats?
They should be far away from them … "
Xu Tingzi hurriedly smiled at Shui Mingzi and said, "Senior Shui, I'm just a little confused. I don't have any other intentions!"
"Hehe, it's fine!"
Shui Mingzi was constantly paying attention to the movements behind him as he flew. When he heard Xu Tingzi's words, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't Confucian cultivators have a famous saying? What you know is what you know, and what you don't know is what you don't know.
It's a pity that I can't give you a very satisfactory answer because I'm not a Demon Race cultivator, so I can't answer your question.
However, don't the pigs, goats, geese, and other animals all fear the humans in the mortal world?
Don't they all live beside humans every day?
The eagle bats are Demon Race cultivators, and the Moth-Gathering Beasts are merely Demon Beasts. That's all there is to it! "
"Senior Shui is right!" Xu Tingzi was completely convinced. "I've overestimated the intelligence of the Moth-Gathering Beasts!"
Ao Zhantian was getting a little impatient. He didn't dare to release his divine sense too much, and a strange light flashed through his eyes. "Fellow Daoist Shui, the eagle bats from before seemed to be nearby. Why haven't we seen them yet?
Moreover, too many of these Moth-Gathering Beasts have already been alerted … "
Shui Mingzi was also helpless. He also wanted to escape the pursuit of the Moth-Gathering Beasts as soon as possible. After all, a dozen or so human cultivators were nothing in this dark night, but hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of crazed Moth-Gathering Beasts were a different story!
Unfortunately, he had to bring these dozen or so Nascent Soul cultivators with him, so he couldn't use teleportation.
Thus, Shui Mingzi pondered for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoists, using the eagle bats is merely a risky tactic. Those Moth-Gathering Beasts are no ordinary Demon Race cultivators. If I don't control the scale well, I might end up in a predicament where I'm attacked from two directions.
Therefore, if there are any changes later, you must remember the other thing that we discussed earlier … "
Right at this moment, before Shui Mingzi could finish speaking, a pitch-black shadow silently flew out from a hill several kilometers away. As soon as the shadow appeared, a faint fluctuation immediately disappeared into the void from where the shadow was, and the space around the shadow began to warp slightly!
Shui Mingzi didn't release his divine sense, so he naturally didn't discover what was happening several kilometers away. However, he was a descendant of the Demon Race, and his bloodline had an innate instinct. As soon as the black shadow appeared, he immediately became vigilant. His explanation came to an abrupt halt, and he immediately raised his head to look in the direction of the black shadow.
"Who's there?"
Not only Shui Mingzi, but even Ao Zhantian also became vigilant. His expression suddenly froze, and he turned to look in the direction of the black shadow. The shock in his heart forced him to blurt out a warning …
As for Xiao Hua, he transformed into an ordinary Boa Dragon of the Demon Clan and flew towards Shui Mingzi and the others.
However, after flying for about a thousand kilometers, a powerful origin intent swept over from the peak of a mountain.
When the Yuan Will landed on Xiao Hua's body, a bloodthirsty aura immediately emerged from the Yuan Will. Xiao Hua's brows slightly furrowed as he stopped and cast a sidelong glance at the mountain peak. Under the stars and moon, he saw a bird that was close to a hundred feet in size spreading its wings. Pillars of light from the stars and moon continuously landed on its wings.
Within the pillars of light, the ferocious bird's eyes were clearly visible!
