The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2907: Shadow from the Canyon

Ouyang Nan had considered killing Ouyang Min first instead of waiting for Ouyang Min to take action and then passively defend herself.

Unfortunately, such behavior is absolutely impossible.

After all, the team she is leading now is basically made up of warriors from the Great Elder's faction. If she sends Ouyang Min to die, he will definitely become alienated from all the warriors in the team, and the entire team will be out of her control.

Now, everyone is still in the exploration stage, so the whole team is actually back-to-back, interdependent, and interdependent. If she, Ouyang Nan, is a congenital master, then maybe she can just send him away, no matter what team it is, even if the warriors of the entire team are against her, it doesn't matter, after all, her own strength is there.

But unfortunately, Ouyang Nan was only at the tenth level of the acquired realm and had not yet reached his peak state. On the other side, there were two innate masters from the Qian and Zhou families watching, so naturally they could not take action to kill Ouyang Min.

This is also the reason why Ouyang Min can do small tricks in private, but she can't.

Another point is that Ouyang Nan took into consideration that the entire expedition had reached this point, but had experienced so many dangers. It was still unclear what kind of dangers were waiting for everyone in the future. If they did not help each other, they might not be able to survive the dangers that lay ahead.

It is impossible to rely on other families. If the Ouyang family is in danger, it is already a very good relationship if other families do not step in to help. If you want other families to lend a hand, haha!

Just like before at the hilly nursery, when they were being chased by the big white dough, each family looked after themselves. As long as they could escape fast and surpass the other families, it would be fine. As for staying behind to stop the pursuit of the monsters, that was impossible.

If Chen Mo hadn't stayed behind to stop the strange beast, who knows how many warriors the Ouyang family would have lost!

So, it seems that the warriors of the Ouyang family, after all, still have the surname Ouyang. When encountering danger, the warriors in the family can still unite around her and resist the danger together.

This is also the reason why Ouyang Nan was passively defending and waiting for Ouyang Min to take action.

Anyway, if Ouyang Min didn't take action, everything would remain the same. Once he took action, Ouyang Nan would fight back, and the scale of the attack would depend on the situation. Everything was based on protecting herself and her niece.

Otherwise, Ouyang Nan would not have asked Chen Mo to protect Ouyang Ruoxi, so that Chen Mo could be by her side to protect her when she was not around or when Ouyang Min attacked her and she could not return to help her niece in time.

Judging from Chen Mo's behavior along the way, although it is hard to understand what kind of person he is, his feelings towards his niece are still good. In this case, the task of protecting his niece should naturally be given to him.

In this way, she can also fully deal with Ouyang Min's attack.

As for Ouyang Nana, as long as she can protect herself, she is already good enough. Although this girl's strength is quite good, having reached the ninth level of the acquired realm, in her and Ouyang Min's eyes, she can be defeated in just a few moves. It's OK to protect Ouyang Ruoxi at ordinary times, but it's still not good enough to deal with Ouyang Min.

In fact, Ouyang Nan didn’t know Chen Mo’s strength. If she knew, she wouldn’t think this way, but would directly confront Ouyang Min and do it directly.

After the four of them talked in low voices for a while, they packed up, returned to their tents, and began to practice and recover themselves.

Although Chen Mo did not need to recover, after all, he did not consume much true energy when fighting the strange beast. What he consumed more was talismans and other items.

However, he does not need to recover his strength, but Ouyang Nan still needs to recover. After waiting for Chen Mo for a whole day, he himself has not recovered well.

In addition, Chen Mo did not stay with Ouyang Ruoxi, but returned to their own tents. The two had not yet reached the stage of meeting each other openly. Of course, Ouyang Ruoxi was accompanied by Ouyang Nana, who stayed in a tent.

Besides, this is not just an expedition period, there are some things we still need to pay attention to, and Ouyang Nan is also next to us.

Fortunately, although Chen Mo did not enter the same tent as Ouyang Ruoxi, his tent was right next to hers, and he could see Ouyang Ruoxi with a quick glance. If there was any emergency, he would be able to discover it instantly.

However, without any special reason, he would not abuse his mental power and was not in such a rush.

After the four of them entered the tent to rest, the surroundings gradually became quiet, with only the lights of the guards on duty illuminating the area.

The entire expedition team was exceptionally quiet in the dark night, with only the slightest sound of wind blowing in the air.

Time passes slowly in this silence.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, in the quiet night, a faint sound came from somewhere. The sound was not loud, but in the dark night with only a slight breeze, the guards on duty could hear it clearly.

Especially the Qian family and the Zhou family who were close to the canyon. Their temporary residence was only about fifty meters away from the edge of the canyon, so they could hear it more clearly.

Therefore, the lights of several on-duty guards turned around instantly and began to pass over the canyon, trying to find the source of the sound.

Unfortunately, no problem was found, so after searching for a few minutes, the lights were turned off again and the entire camp fell into silence again.

Perhaps the noise just now was caused by the rocks on the cliffs of the canyon falling due to weathering, or the rocks on the edge of the canyon loosening.

There was only one sound, and no other movement occurred, which made the guards on duty give up the idea of ​​going over to investigate.

Everyone was actually very tired, so as the on-duty guards, they didn't want to move too much. After all, there was no subsequent sound, so they just treated it as an accident.

At most, after a while, we can use the light to shine towards this side of the canyon again to see if anything happens, right?
So, this is what the on-duty personnel thought and did.

However, what all the guards on duty did not expect was that on the cliff of the canyon, figures gradually climbed up from the bottom of the canyon. Although the cliff of the canyon was as vertical as 90 degrees, it was uneven and could be climbed up as long as it was used properly.

Without anyone knowing, these shadows took advantage of these uneven places and gradually climbed up. The sound just now was the sound of a shadow falling down because of the weathering of the rock where it was holding.

All the shadows were frightened by the sound of the rocks falling, and they all stopped. Then, the light shone over, but because of the canyon, it could only pass over the shadows and could not shine on the figure.

After the lights disappeared, the shadows gradually began to climb again. As if to eliminate the sound, they climbed slowly but steadily, gradually approaching the top of the canyon.

At this moment, another light shone over, but when it shone over, the dark shadow that had climbed to the top of the canyon just lowered its head and lay on the ground at the top of the canyon, motionless, and the dark shadow behind it no longer moved, just hanging on the cliff of the canyon.

After the light passed by, there was still no discovery, so it was retracted.

These black shadows continued to move up the canyon and began to approach the Qian and Zhou family residences, while the black shadows on the cliff continued to move up, and there seemed to be quite a few of them.

All the dark shadows kept sniffing something as they crawled towards the temporary base. It seemed that some smell attracted them up from the bottom of the canyon.

Gradually, the black shadow approached the temporary residence of the Zhou and Qian families, but at this time, the guards on duty did not notice anything.

The Qian family only arranged two guards tonight. Because they were too tired today, these two guards were the warriors who did not go to the hill nursery in the morning, but left early.

Those who left early were either injured warriors or warriors with lower strength. Today, these two warriors were relatively weak and had not consumed any energy, so they were assigned by Qian Wantong to guard the area.

Both of them heard the crashing sound, but because there was no follow-up noise and they didn't see anything unusual, they felt relieved, closed their eyes slightly, and relied on their hearing to stay alert.

Time, in this silence, slowly passes by.

One after another, the dark shadows approached the temporary camps of the Qian and Zhou families, and were less than ten meters away from the position of the on-duty security personnel.

The few dark shadows in the front seemed to be sniffing something and making faint noises, but they were not heard by the guards on duty.

However, the black shadow's sniffing seemed to make the black shadow excited, and he sped up and rushed towards the positions of the on-duty personnel.

"Dangdang, dangdang~..." What was unexpected was that the guards had set up the original warning wire not far from the warning range, and it was triggered by the black shadow, causing the warning wire to shake, making the empty cans hanging on the wire make sounds.

The quiet night was suddenly broken by the sound of empty cans.

The light instantly shone in the direction of the sound, and the guard shouted loudly: "Who!?"

This shout was not actually a question to the black shadow that touched the warning wire, but a shout to warn the warriors who were resting in the base, telling everyone to get ready quickly as an enemy had appeared.

"Awoo!" With a sound like a dog howling, the black shadow suddenly paused, raised its head and roared, then when the light shone on it, it jumped up and pounced towards the guard!
