Knife splashing

Chapter 389 The crisis is beginning to appear
Something is not right...

Li Yan was confused and continued to observe his surroundings.

This place is most likely where the Wuba tribe once was located. It was later seized by the Tiansheng Sect, but now there have obviously been changes.

The bones were piled up in a mess, all pale in color, with the flesh removed cleanly, indicating that they had all been cooked and discarded in a pile of garbage.

But the human skull is different.

It was cast into a Jingguan, firstly for showing off, and secondly for deterrence.

There were also torn clothes beside...

The target of deterrence is undoubtedly people!

Li Yan quickly came to a conclusion in his mind.

This place must have been occupied by a savage tribe, and it is very likely that they are in a hostile relationship with the Tiansheng Sect!
Just then, there was movement on the cliff.

I saw several huge black shadows crawling out of the ancient cave, standing on the stone platform and looking around.

When Li Yan saw this, he suddenly felt a chill.

These "things" are tall, at least three meters when standing up, with a bear-like lower body and thick hair on their heads. Although their lips are extremely thick and their brows are extremely wide, their facial features are those of a human.

What's even weirder is that they only have one arm, which grows in the chest area, and only one leg, which is as thick as their body.

The god has a human face and a beast body, with one arm and one leg...

What you read in a book and what you see with your own eyes are two completely different things. Li Yan simply couldn't understand how such a thing could come into being in the world.

Of course, this thing is not considered an animal. It is simply classified as a mountain monster and is an alien species by nature.

twitter-!
twitter--!
Suddenly, there were calls of varying lengths coming from the sky.

Then a strong wind blew, and several black shadows flapped their wings and fell down. They were also three meters tall, with a wingspan of seven or eight meters. They looked like night owls, but they had human faces.

It was the same thing that attacked the falcon before!

Only then did Li Yan discover that the facial contours of these "human-faced owls" were almost exactly the same as those of the "God of Gods", and they also had only a single giant claw on their lower bodies.

The "human-faced owl" flapped its wings and circled in the air. The "God of War" below was not afraid. Instead, he took out pieces of roasted meat from the cave and threw them into the air, where they were caught and torn apart by the "human-faced owl".

"Chirp! Cluck, clack, clack..."

The two sides started talking to each other.

And it’s in the upper language!
Looking at the similar faces of the two, an idea suddenly came to Li Yan's mind. This "human-faced owl" is also a kind of "divine leader"!
They belong to the same ethnic group, but have different divisions of labor.

Shennongjia is indeed extraordinary.

You know, "Xuanguailu" is a summary of monster hunters from all dynasties and the experience of countless ancestors, but it has never recorded such special situations.

After eating their fill of meat, several "human-faced owls" flapped their wings again, flew into the thick fog, and disappeared.

As for those "gods", they yawned and went back into the cave, obviously wanting to sleep.

Li Yan took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It was just past three quarters past noon.

Most of these creatures sleep during the day and are active at night, while the night owls are responsible for guarding and reconnaissance.

As soon as they saw the falcon, they attacked immediately, which meant they knew it was a spy. They probably learned about it during the battle with the Tiansheng Sect...

Thinking of this, Li Yan retreated quickly and quietly.

After returning to the hidden forest, Li Yan immediately narrated what he had seen and heard.

"Trouble..."

Sharifei felt a bit overwhelmed when he heard this. "It seems that the demons of the Tiansheng Sect are just ahead. They must be on guard against these gods, so they will definitely deploy heavy troops. It won't be easy to sneak in and investigate."

Everyone's face was solemn, and they had all thought of the key.

The Shenkui tribe must have more than just this much power to be able to drive away the Tiansheng Sect. Who knows how many of them are sleeping in the cave of the ancestors.

And the Tiansheng Sect can make the Shenkui tribe so vigilant.

Its strength should not be underestimated.

They were caught in the middle, and it would be troublesome if any one of them was disturbed.

Li Yan pondered for a moment, then turned his head and said, "Brother Lu San, can you control the animals to find out the surrounding situation?"

"No."

Lu San said solemnly: "I have tried it. All the beasts in this area have been controlled by some kind of magic. At most, we can keep them quiet and not expose our whereabouts."

"When the human-faced owl passed by, a bird nearby tried to sing, but I calmed it down."

Li Yan frowned and said, "According to the "Xuanguai Lu", this god can not only control wild beasts, but also control the evil spirits in the mountains."

"It will be even more dangerous at night. If we can't find a way to get through before dark, we must leave immediately."

"me!"

At this moment, Wu Ba waved his arms anxiously, then pointed to the ground, "Villain, villain, find them!"

Wu Ba is extremely talented, all of which are in his muscles. Even after learning human language for such a long time, he still cannot express himself clearly most of the time. However, everyone can see that Wu Ba said he has a way.

Lu San quickly communicated with him in Shangfang language.

After the two of them talked for a while, Lu San frowned, "Wu Ba said that there is a tunnel under the mountain, but it was blocked with mud to prevent the 'Jingren' from stealing things."

"The other end of the tunnel is inside the caves of the ancestors, but only the 'Jingren' knows the nearby entrance."

Li Yan was thoughtful after hearing this. "'Jingren' lives here to serve the gods. Could it be that there are gods nearby?"

Wu Ba, who was standing by, quickly made hand gestures, "Eat, eat, eat...friends!"

Seeing this, Lu San explained: "Wu Ba said that they only drove them away, but those 'Shen Kui' like to capture 'Jing Ren' and eat them. They should be able to persuade 'Jing Ren' to help."

"Okay, let's look for it first."

Upon hearing this, Li Yan immediately agreed to this method.

Whether or not we can get through the defense line is secondary at the moment. We must find a hiding place before dark, otherwise we will be exposed.

No matter how ridiculous this method is, as long as there is hope, it is worth trying. After all, there is no better way now.

He pinched the upper part of the second finger with his left thumb, activated the Yang Jue, activated his supernatural power, and took a deep breath.

In an instant, the surrounding smells rushed into my nose.

With his current level of skill, he can smell odors three hundred meters away and ten meters underground, but this is only in normal condition.

If the full potential is activated, it can be doubled.

Ten meters below, the "Jingren" tunnel was not found.

Li Yan immediately concentrated his attention and exerted all his strength.

Finally, in the area twenty meters underground, some unusual smells were smelled moving around, exactly the same as in Mount Dan.

"found it!"

Li Yan suddenly opened his eyes and led everyone to the left.

The "Jingren" tunnels are interconnected, but as you go to the left, they obviously start to rise, which should be the location of one of the exits.

Not long after they walked, the sound of breaking air was heard again from above.

Everyone hurriedly hid and waited for the patrolling human-faced owl to pass by three times before they continued to move forward.

According to Wu Ba, this "human-faced owl" is extremely cunning and will not land easily. Once it finds an enemy, it will cry loudly.

Some are responsible for continuing the tracking, while others are responsible for going back to call the police. They are like maggots attached to the bones, and will soon attract a large number of "gods".

"Shenkui" is not only extremely powerful, but can also control the wild beasts and evil spirits in the mountains and forests. Once they come, there will be a lot of them, which is very troublesome.

Because of the patrol of the "Human-Faced Owl", everyone's speed was obviously slowed down.

Even so, the target was found after half an hour.

"Shh!"

Li Yan signaled everyone to be quiet and looked down through the bushes.

I saw a hilly valley in front of me. It was covered with dense green plants, tangled vines, and tall trees forming a shade, making the valley dim and very humid.

Between the vines, there are densely packed mushrooms of various shapes, strange and colorful.

Small figures were moving among the mushrooms. They had thick hair, rat-like features, and were wearing leaf clothes. They had small jade pieces hanging around their necks, and were chopping mushrooms with jade axes.

There is a strong smell of incense on his body.

After hearing this, Li Yan became even more certain that there must be gods nearby, otherwise the "Jingren" tribe would have perished.

Those mushrooms are obviously poisonous.

But to the "Jing people", it seems to be a delicacy. After someone cuts it down, they can't help but secretly put a piece of it into their mouths.

After chewing for a while, the face of the "Jingren" who had eaten secretly turned red, and he stumbled like a drunk, attracting other "Jingren" to chase and beat him.

Li Yan looked at Lu San beside him.

He did not forget that these "Jing people" could burrow into the ground. Once frightened, they would immediately burrow into the ground and disappear.

If you want to communicate, only Lu San can take action.

Lu San nodded and took out the bone flute from his arms.

In this situation, if you don't want to scare away all those "Jingren", you must use the secret method of "Shan Hai Ling Ying Jing" as soon as possible.

Wow!
Just then, a black shadow flapped its wings and came over.

"Quack! Quack! Quack!"

The black shadow screamed loudly, with a hint of soul-stirring power, and the "Jingren" immediately fell to the ground, but most of them instantly burrowed into the ground and disappeared.

After the black shadow landed, everyone could see clearly that it was a strange bird, somewhat similar to a pheasant, with a green body, red eyes, and beautiful fiery red tail feathers.

It looks a bit like a pheasant, but has a head like a duck.

After the strange bird landed, it shook its head and immediately caught the unconscious "Jingren" in its mouth and swallowed it with its neck shaking.

A gleam of light flashed in Li Yan's eyes, and he jumped out in an instant.

When the man was in mid-air, the Soul-Breaking Flying Knife flew out from its scabbard and flew around him.

Li Yan's hidden strength burst out from under his feet, like an arrow shot from a bow. He leaped twice on the hillside, then jumped high up and landed in the valley.

Wow!
The strange bird was frightened and flapped its wings.

Li Yan was also in the air at this time, and the Soul-Breaking Flying Knife shot out immediately.

This strange bird was extremely agile. It fluttered its wings in the air, as if violating the laws of physics, and floated out at an angle, avoiding the flying knife.

If it was an ordinary flying knife, it would definitely not be able to catch this thing, but Li Yan just thought about it, and the Soul-Breaking Flying Knife turned in the air, and with a puff, it pierced into the belly of the strange bird.

Li Yan picked it up and didn't bother to take care of it after it landed. He picked up a leather bag and put all the dizzy "Jingren" who had no time to escape into it.

Sharifei and others also hurried down from the valley.

"Brother Yan, what is this?"

They knew that if Li Yan had not acted in time, all the "Jingren" would have escaped, and it would be extremely difficult to find them.

What everyone is curious about is, what did Li Yan do with this strange bird?
Li Yan smiled and picked up the dead strange bird. "If I'm not mistaken, this is what Yun Lingzi is looking for."

"It's a duck!"

Wang Daoxuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stroked his beard and said, "Yes, it looks like a duck, with a green body, red eyes and a red tail. Eating it is good for having children, so it should be this creature."

This "鴢" may not seem very powerful, but it is a strange bird recorded in the Shan Hai Jing. Eating it can help you give birth to a child.

They have seen Fei Yi's power.

This "duck" might be able to sell for a high price.

Upon hearing this, Sharifei's face immediately lit up with joy. He carefully took the strange bird and ran to the side to deal with it.

Lu San came to Li Yan and carefully opened the leather bag.

Several "Jingren" inside have awakened and are looking at them with horror on their faces.

Lu San muttered in the upper language, trying to communicate with the "Jing people", but these little guys all kept silent and some even raised their jade knives and axes to cut their necks.

"Ai gaga gaga..."

Just then, Wuba came over and also spoke the Shangfang language, but his face was full of anger and he cursed.

This seems to be a huge uproar.

The "Jingren" in his pocket were also jumping up and down and cursing.

After cursing for a while, both sides seemed to have thought of something and fell silent at the same time, and then continued to communicate in the upper language.

Seeing this, Lu San explained in a low voice.

"Although there are disputes between the Man-Xiao tribe and the 'Jing people', they can still coexist. When there is a shortage of food, they will even give some to each other..."

"Wu Ba scolded the 'Jingren' for not being grateful. Seeing the Renxiao tribe being robbed, no one showed up to help. The 'Jingren' blamed them for bringing in outsiders and disturbing the peace of this place..."

"These 'Jing people' said that they have already moved, and the god they serve was also seriously injured and was almost eaten by the leader of the gods..."

"Eating God?"

Li Yan was also a little surprised when he heard this.

Then he understood that the person served by this "Jingren" was not a powerful god, but a great mountain monster like the Donghu Ancestor. It still had a physical body, but its soul was worshipped by the "Jingren".

Thinking of this, Li Yan immediately said: "Tell them that we are not enemies. Perhaps we can help heal their 'god', but we must see the person first."

Upon hearing this, Lu San immediately communicated in the upper language, and Wu Ba also joined in. After hearing this, the "Jingren" became a little hesitant.

The leader among them, "Jingren", suddenly spoke, muttering.

Lu San turned around and said, "They want us to let them go first and report to the 'God' before making a decision."

Li Yan said without hesitation: "Let them go!"

It won’t work if you force it, you can only express your sincerity first.

After opening the cloth bag, the "Jingren" fell to the ground one after another, like frightened rabbits, and instantly sank into the soil and disappeared.

Wow!
In the thick fog above, the sound of flapping wings was heard again.

Everyone had to hide in the bushes and wait.

This wait lasted for two full hours.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Sharifei was a little speechless and said, "These little guys are not honest. They are obviously fooling us."

Li Yan was also somewhat helpless, "Let's go, first retreat to the hunting path, and then think of a way..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly looked down at the ground.

I saw a few "Jingren" coming out, muttering to them and waving their hands.

Lu San's eyes lit up, "They agreed, let's go!"

Without saying a word, everyone followed "Jingren" and ran to a deep pool just before the sun set.

The "Jingren" whispered to each other, pointed at the pond, and then used the earth escape technique to drill into the ground and disappear.

Lu San hurriedly said: "The cave is right below!"

"I'll explore the way!"

Li Yan immediately used the Xuanshui escape technique and jumped into the deep pool to investigate. He soon surfaced and said, "Three meters to the right, the waterway is not long and there is a cave inside. It's not dangerous."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately packed their luggage, sealed all their firearms with oil paper, and then jumped into the water.

Li Yan stood guard at the end.

After everyone entered the water, the sun finally set. The sound of flapping wings and the roar of wild beasts could be heard, and mist rose between the woods. It was obvious that the Shenkui tribe had begun to move.

Li Yan took a deep look and immediately dived into the pool.

From the original human-goddess tribe, where the ancient caves were located, one after another gods came out, waving their one arms, roaring madly, their eyes emitting blood-red light in the dark night.

On the cliff of the ruins, a larger god also emerged. He was five meters tall, covered with white hair, and holding a tattered flag in his hand.

The flags fluttered, and a chilly wind suddenly howled in the dense forest.

At the same time, in the area to the south where the Tiansheng Sect was located, a roar was also heard. It was loud and clear, like the roar of a dragon...
