Chapter 318: Falling into a Trap
Chapter 318: Falling into a Trap
Knowing that there are tigers in the mountain, I still go there. ——Inscription
Right now, they are tracking a group of strange men in black. These men in black are wearing hoods and their faces cannot be seen clearly, but they are moving very fast.
One of them was holding a box in his hand, intentionally or unintentionally luring Xijie and the others to follow him.
Halfway through the chase, Hao Yu stopped first and stopped the others from going any further. "Don't chase them anymore. These people are probably just baits. What they have is definitely not real!"
"Just right, I'm tired from running too!" Hagi Zhuo took out a pot of water from his spirit ring and started drinking. "I don't know where these people come from. They went to such great lengths to trick us out. What do they want to do?"
"Since they are here, they must be trying to get something. Since they dare to play tricks on us, we will give them a big gift!" Zhuo Ji looked at the sneaky black-clad men in the distance, and with a flick of his fingertips, a powerful lightning suddenly hit one of them.
Seeing the man fall to the ground, Hao Yu felt as if he had been upstaged, and said sarcastically, "How could you be so quick to act?"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, it's time to go!" Qiong Ke snapped her fingers towards the distance, and the other men in black disappeared instantly. Then she patted Haoyu's shoulder gently.
Haoyu pointed at Qiongke and said in shock, "Well, you, you too..."
Qiong Ke patted Hao Yu's outstretched hand and smiled slyly, "Let's go. It's okay even if we don't do anything with these little minions."
After they took a few steps, they saw the man in black who they had just killed appear in front of them again strangely.
Those men in black took off the hoods of their cloaks one by one, revealing skulls wrapped in black mist.
The moment this scene appeared, Fan Nuoxi's heart jumped, "This... could it be the Soul-Destroying Guard?"
But after Fan Nuoxi's careful observation, these skeletons were different from the imprisoned leader of the Soul-Destroying Guards.
Judging from the grade, it should be caused by mid-level evil magic.
Qiong Ke and the others also felt something was not right after seeing those skulls.
The hands in Hagi's sleeves were slightly sweaty. "It seems someone has planned this in advance. We have to be careful!"
Several people looked at each other and quickly reached a consensus. "Yeah!"
They all took out a small bottle of fairy rain from their spirit rings at the same time, and turned the rain into mist to attack the skeletons that were ready to attack.
Those skulls certainly wouldn't wait foolishly to be beaten. The moment they attacked, they went behind them and prepared to kill them.
But just when they were about to touch them, those skeletons suddenly seemed to have touched something extraordinary, flames quickly ignited all over their bodies, and then quickly disappeared.
However, Qiong Ke and the others disappeared at the moment when the skeleton was about to approach.
After a while, their figures appeared out of nowhere in Fan Nuoxi's room.
It turned out that at the critical moment, it was Fan Nuoxi who took action and brought them back with the power of space.
At this moment, several people were so frightened that they didn't even notice that they had returned to the Valley of Beasts.
Fan Nuoxi walked towards them, hugged Qiong Ke gently, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Hearing this, Qiong Ke couldn't help but hug Fan Nuoxi tightly and cried, "Master, those skeletons are so scary, Qiong Ke almost thought she would never see you again!"
Fan Nuoxi patted Qiong Ke's back gently, "It's okay, it's okay, the skeletons are gone."
The others seemed to come to their senses at this moment, and looked at the two people hugging as if they had survived a disaster.
It was a close call today, I almost lost my life!
Yujie trembled and said, "Nuoxi, I'm lucky to have you."
"I'm glad to know. You guys, don't do that anymore in the future!" Fan Nuoxi snorted.
After the few people calmed down for a while, Fan Nuoxi couldn't help but give each of them a slap on the head.
"I told you to run away behind my back! I'll bring the others back and teach them a lesson together!"
A few people including Qie hung their heads immediately and said nothing.
But when he saw Fan Nuoxi turn around and carefully look at the real-time images of other people, his heart was filled with sweetness again.
Right now, the situation for others is not much better.
Fei Ji, Fei Xia, Cong Huan and You Ning are currently in Guiwu Mountain, being hunted by a dozen evil cultivators.
Green and Chibi Maruko's brothers are now surrounded by a large group of wild beasts in Xuyan Mountain.
Bai Zhou, Luo Ying, Mo Qi and Jin Duan were on the outskirts of Lingyuan Country, and were about to be lured into a trap by a group of black-clothed men wrapped in purple mist.
Dongfang Junyan, Ruochen, Chongli and Meng Yujie appeared in Yulong Wetland. They were facing Murong Chen, the Rakshasa Lord the day before yesterday, and a group of skeletons wrapped in black mist.
This situation looks tricky.
But Fan Nuoxi already has a countermeasure.
She led her clones and exerted force on these images at the same time, and a very strong lightning passed through the images.
Thunder and lightning appear, and the wind and clouds change.
After a while, all the beasts, men in black and other creatures in the picture fell down.
Dongfang Junyan and others all returned to the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts in an orderly manner.
Before they could come back to their senses, Fan Nuoxi interrogated them, looked them up and down, and said in a slightly cold tone, "Tell me, what did you do today? Why did you go to several places?"
For some reason, Fan Nuoxi made everyone retreat.
Meng Yujie held Fan Nuoxi's hand flatteringly, "Sister, don't be angry..."
Fan Nuoxi did not appreciate it and quickly withdrew his hand, tapping Meng Yujie on the forehead.
"You better give me an explanation for what happened today!"
Half an hour later, Fan Nuoxi finally figured out the whole story of today's incident.
It turned out that Chongli had begun investigating the whereabouts of other soul beads long before he recognized Xingyun's soul. Coincidentally, Dongfang Junyan and Ruochen were also investigating.
The information they found was very different. Ever since the evil magic spread, those soul beads were no longer where they used to be.
Except for the few that had previously returned to Fan Nuoxi's hands, the others were all snatched away by the forces that defected to Yunuo Palace.
Some forces may have fought over the uneven distribution of the spoils.
Later, for some unknown reason, these soul beads returned to their original places without any change, and those forces started fighting over it, causing great suffering to many places.
The soul bead was trapped in the hands of those forces.
Because they were not sure whether the soul bead would appear again, they had been taking a wait-and-see attitude for more than a year.
As expected, this soul bead is indeed a bit strange. Even if it is stolen, it will return to its own place later.
Now, their people received news that all the soul beads were taken away by one person, so they went together to investigate.
Who would have thought that I would encounter such a big trap.
However, there was one small gain, which was that those soul beads had indeed disappeared, and no one knew who had them now.
Those who were chasing and luring them into a trap today actually had it planned in advance and did not get those soul beads.
As the saying goes, you must stand at attention when you are beaten. Dongfang Junyan said in a soft tone, "Today, we were inconsiderate."
"Sister, we know we were wrong." Fei Ji held Fan Nuoxi's hand and shook it, looking quite cautious.
Ruochen stammered, "Xixi, um...we didn't expect it to turn out like this..."
"Sir, can you please not be angry since we are fine?" You Ning said at the right time.
"sister in law……"
"Yes, Nuoxi, we really know we were wrong, and we will never do this again in the future..."
"Owner……"
"..."
When others saw this, they followed suit.
Fan Nuoxi almost got goosebumps after hearing this. She sneered, "I want to know when did you become so gullible?"
I've never seen them so bold before!
Could it be that he got bored from practicing in the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts recently?
But...she provides them with delicious food and drink every day!
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone seemed to be caught in a conspiracy and began to stammer with their heads hung.
In this way, Fan Nuoxi became more and more certain of the guess in his heart.
"Tell me, why are you all going out?"
After a long time, under Fan Nuoxi's intimidating gaze, everyone spoke out the reasons why they slipped away.
Luo Ying was the first to surrender, his voice getting lower and lower as he spoke, "We just thought that no matter whether the news is true or not, it would not cause any harm to go and take a look. What's more, we have all been promoted recently, and we also want to see how strong we are... Who would have thought..." Not only did they run into trouble, but they were also caught red-handed!
"Sister-in-law, we've been feeling a little frustrated lately and want to go and have a look..." Mu Bai echoed.
