These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

"Wei Tu." PS: My cold is still getting worse, it's so annoying. I'm going to rest now, I'll see if I get better tomorrow.

65 After the Fog

"Senior brother...they..."

"Don't panic, Miss Wanwan. Tell me slowly, otherwise no one can help you."

Wei Tu was squatting on the ground, looking at the remains of the exceptionally large black tentacle, while Mu Xitong was gently comforting the girl who seemed flustered and lost.

Wei Tu wasn't sure if he was good at comforting people; he only had his own old tricks. It would be better to leave it to Mu Xitong, who was also a woman. However, Mu Xitong didn't seem to offer many words of comfort. Tu Shan Wanwan took a few deep breaths and immediately recovered from her previous panic.

"We initially discovered a Kunlun ape that seemed to be in a bad state. Mo Qiu killed it, but unexpectedly, these disgusting and grotesque tentacles appeared in the neck of the headless ape. Senior Brother Mo Yao saved it, but those tentacles seemed endless, possessing tenacious vitality, and were impossible to completely remove. Instead, they began to fight back against us, and we fought back fiercely. But the fog was too thick, and the situation was too critical... Somehow, we got separated, and when I came to my senses, I was the only one left dodging the tentacles' pursuit..."

"Tentacles again..."

Mu Xitong murmured softly.

"It's happening again... Did you run into them too?"

Tu Shan Wanwan looked at Mu Xitong with a puzzled expression, and the woman nodded.

"We encountered one too, but it wasn't a Kunlun ape. It was a giant black eagle. These tentacles seemed to exist in its body like parasites. Even after it died, it could control its corpse to continue attacking."

"That's right! That's exactly it, we encountered the same situation! The Kunlun apes too! There must be something wrong with these tentacles, they're simply... too evil, I've never seen anything like them before... But it's strange, why can't my senior brothers kill these tentacles at all, but Wei... Wei Tu can..."

Tu Shan Wanwan calmed down and seemed to realize the strangeness of what had just happened.

She looked at the handsome young man who had just finished looking at the wreckage and stood up.

Wei Tu smiled and said, "It's nothing. It's probably because of my sword. Ordinary weapons probably wouldn't be able to deal with it, but my sword happens to have the property of resisting evil spirits."

Shen Tu's secrets go far beyond this; Wei Tu knows the ambition hidden deep within this sword.

Dealing with evil spirits is considered Shen Tu's most basic level of effectiveness.

"Is that so... No wonder he's second on the Dragon Slayer Ranking. If even Young Hero Wei is this good... then what level must Miss Jiang Ying, who's ranked first, be at...?"

Wei Tu suppressed the urge to laugh and said seriously, "Now do you roughly know where your senior brothers are?"

Tu Shan Wanwan thought for a moment and said, "It's definitely impossible to do it based on memory, but... if the Demon Hunting Manor has a unique method."

"any solution?"

Tu Shan Wanwan took out a dark-colored iron plaque.

There seemed to be some strange patterns carved on it. Wei Tu had seen most of the patterns and formations of the Five Immortal Continents in his previous life, if not all of them. Although he couldn't match this formation to the exact one, the patterns suggested that it was a tracking mark.

Tu Shan Wanwan activated the iron plate in her hand, and then the group witnessed a miraculous scene.

A faint, shimmering fluorescent light suddenly appeared in the air, stretching out in a line and spreading in one direction.

Tu Shan Wanwan said, "This is a unique mark of our Demon Hunting Manor. It will be present in the group of people who go on missions... As long as they don't lose this iron plaque, they will find their way."

Mu Xitong looked at Wei Tu, "We shouldn't delay, let's go and take a look first."

Wei Tu looked at Mu Xitong, but instead of acting immediately, he gazed at the woman with a complicated expression.

Mu Xitong's lips were already pale. She hadn't had a proper rest today, and so much time had passed. Her condition was worrying.

Sometimes, the safety of an important person in front of you versus the lives of several unfamiliar people far away can create a difficult choice.

Mu Xitong seemed to see right through the boy's thoughts.

She walked over with a smile, and in front of Tu Shan Wanwan, she took the boy's hand and said, "If you were to stand by and watch someone die because of me, would you still be the little brother I like?"

Wei Tu couldn't help but chuckle, "Don't use such a strange word as 'little brother'... Let's go."

Wei Tu gripped her hand tightly.

Tu Shan Wanwan and the little fox both witnessed this scene. They exchanged a glance, seemingly seeing the same emotion in each other's eyes.

This feeling transcends species barriers—I'm so fucking full.

Following the fluorescent markers, they navigated through the fog.

Along the way, they occasionally encountered these strange creatures, and there were also cases where they were controlled by tentacles, all of which Wei Tu severed.

Tu Shan Wanwan said in alarm, "The deeper we go into the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, the more serious the situation becomes... Why is that?"

Mu Xitong, whose complexion wasn't too good, was still analyzing softly, "Either something polluted them, or... this is the work of certain people. As for who would do such a thing, it's hard to say."

"I have a feeling... that this and that dark aura... might be part of a conspiracy."

"Speaking of the black aura, Miss Wanwan, could you elaborate on the details?"

Wei Tu interrupted, seemingly having thought of something.

Tu Shan Wanwan thought for a moment and replied, "That black mist occurred about half a month ago. It was observed by our Demon Hunting Manor disciples patrolling the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain. It is said that birds and beasts scattered at the time, causing quite a commotion, and even some roars were heard coming from the depths of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain. Then, when we came in this time, we saw this unusual fog."

"Why is it unusual?" Mu Xitong asked.

Tu Shan Wanwan replied, "Because such a large and dense fog that lingers for so long is really hard to find. Even deep within the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, fog isn't everywhere. Right now, this fog looks like..."

"It's like they're covering something up."

Wei Tu's sudden interruption startled both of them.

Tu Shan Wanwan quickly realized, "Young Master Wei, you mean..."

"Ninety percent of the time it's man-made anomalies."

"What exactly is the purpose of planting this thing in these demonic beasts...?"

"It's definitely not good news... Wait, shh."

Wei Tu suddenly silenced the two of them and stopped walking.

Tu Shan Wanwan and Mu Xitong didn't understand what had happened, but they all looked over in the same direction as Wei Tu.

At first, they couldn't see clearly; their eyes couldn't penetrate the fog smoothly.

But as a gentle breeze blew, revealing a glimpse of the iceberg, they witnessed a scene that left them speechless and even stunned.

It was a chilling scene.

Tu Shan Wanwan's fellow disciples... were tightly bound by enormous tentacles; some still retained consciousness, while others seemed to have fainted.

And above their heads... was a huge, arched nest of flesh.

It's like a honeycomb; nobody knows what terrifying things might appear inside.

"Tick-tock...tick-tock".

Drops of viscous slime, disgustingly repulsive, fell to the ground, and plumes of smoke rose from them, seemingly capable of corroding everything...

66 I have a sword that can cleave everything.

It would be impossible for anyone to remain completely calm in such a scene.

Even Wei Tu had to suppress the disgust in his heart.

This scene is more than just causing physical discomfort; it's as if everything in front of you is polluting your mind, plunging you into anxiety and mania.

For example, Tu Shan Wanwan, who was standing next to him, almost turned bloodshot when she saw this scene.

"Senior brother..."

Fortunately, Mu Xitong reacted quickly, reaching out to hug the girl and covering her lips at the same time.

She struggled for a moment, but Mu Xitong whispered in her ear, "You can't save anyone like this... assess the situation."

The girl's eyes were red. She didn't know whether her fellow disciples were alive or dead. The only one who was conscious was Mo Qiu.

He was entangled by tentacles, and the boy's body was covered in wounds.

He seemed to have a clear view of his surroundings and started shouting frantically.

"Mo Yao!! Wake up! Mo Yao!! Brother!!"

But no matter how he shouted, Mo Yao seemed to have no reaction at all. He just lowered his head and let the tentacles bind his body.

As Mo Qiu shouted and struggled...

Soon, the blood nest overhead stirred, as if a sleeping behemoth was finally slowly awakening, and the honeycomb-like blood nest seemed to have opened a crack.

From this opening, strangely shaped, blood-red worms crawled out.

They number in the hundreds, even thousands, densely packed together, enough to make one's scalp tingle.

Mo Qiu was so horrified by what he saw that he was speechless.

He trembled instinctively, his lips pale. The boy seemed to not even know who to call for help. His older brother, who always stood in front of him like a mountain, helping him, yet whom he also complained about, was now in a coma.

Can only you save yourself?

But... how can I do that?

Just as the bloodworms were gathering together, seemingly slowly awakening and beginning to search for prey while looking around...

To Mo Qiu's surprise, a brilliant golden light seemed to envelop him completely.

"Splash!"

After a series of repetitions, Mo Qiu was astonished to find that the bloodworms that had just fallen to the ground had turned to ashes in an instant.

Before he could figure out what was going on, several figures rushed in from outside the fog not far away.

He heard the words.

"Senior Brother Mo Qiu!"

"Is it... Wanwan? Wait, are you guys too...?"

Mo Qiu did not expect that the two people from the Yuanjian Sect who had parted ways before would appear with Tu Shan Wanwan.

Wei Tu glanced at Mo Qiu, then looked at Tu Shan Wanwan.

"Save them first."

"it is good!"
