Chapter 88: 5 Cursed Beast Demons and a Large Number of Black Beast Demons
If Jiuyou wants to leave, let alone this one, even if ten come, it won't make a difference.
Jiuying is very powerful, but he doesn't understand the Eight Directions of the Dead Kings, let alone Empress Jiuyou.
He could see the book title. Several people were surrounded by the black beast demon.
Although he saw it, Jiuyou had no intention of helping. If he couldn't even handle this small matter, he would just be courting death if he went to the Tomb of the Dead.
After Su Ming left Jiuyou, they felt much more relaxed, and even their walking style was different.
As they passed through a grove of trees, Mu Bai suddenly stopped. He looked at the severed limbs on the ground, his brows furrowed.
"Su Ming, come and take a look," Mu Bai called over Shu Ming and pointed to the long branches on the ground. "Did you see this when we came? The way back should be the same as the way we came. This wasn't here when we came, but now there are some extra limbs."
Mu Bai and Su Ming exchanged a glance, both sensing that something was amiss.
There was no one else here, and the severed arm looked somewhat like one of the arms from the previous hunter squad.
"This..." Ge Xin covered her mouth, clearly frightened. She rarely went out and had hardly ever seen a dead person, let alone a severed limb.
Mu Qianjin is much better off; she has experienced many such things and can deal with them calmly.
Green Brother sighed, "Who is this? What a pity."
Su Ming turned around and glanced at the three of them, then said to Mu Qianjin, "Mu Bai and I will go ahead and take a look. You guys wait here for a bit."
"Okay." Mu Qianjin nodded in agreement.
With Mu Qianjin here, Su Ming felt at ease. She was more capable than both Su Ming and Mu Bai, and could handle any danger they might encounter.
The woods here are very dense, and the area in front is on higher ground, so it can't be seen from behind.
The two walked over cautiously, and what happened next completely shocked them.
The ground was littered with severed limbs, and the trees were covered in blood. These people did not seem to have been killed with a single blow, but rather were subjected to torture that was worse than death. From the few heads that were relatively intact, one could see the pain they had suffered before their deaths, and the broken limbs indicated what kind of harm they had endured before they died.
"It's that middle-aged man." Mu Bai sighed. Among these severed limbs was a head, which belonged to the former captain of the hunter team. His expression was one of terror, his eyes filled with resentment, and he died with his eyes wide open.
"Not a single one survived." Mu Bai sighed. People who were just fine with them were now lying here, cold corpses.
No, it's not even a corpse anymore. If we were to try to piece it together, we probably wouldn't even be able to reconstruct a complete body.
Su Ming frowned, and before they could even mourn, they knew they were about to run into trouble.
This hunter team must have been created by some kind of demon; humans couldn't have done this.
So where are the demons?
There was no trace of demons here, but that doesn't mean they aren't there.
The surrounding bushes are tall and can hide a lot of things, and those things may be hidden in them.
"Mu Bai," Su Ming called out.
"Understood." Mu Bai conjured magic, and the star trails were successfully aligned in a short time. His surroundings became cold, emanating a chill, and his pupils turned snow-white.
"Ice Vines - Cover!"
At this stage, the third level of beginner-level magic is more useful than intermediate-level magic.
The bushes were just ordinary bushes, but they were quickly frozen under the ice vines, and the area was constantly expanding. Mu Bai wanted to freeze everything around him, only in this way could he find the demons hidden in them.
Su Ming held onto his magic, ready to deal with any possible attacks.
They don't have a fire mage, otherwise it would have been much faster to deal with them.
"They're here!" Su Ming's gaze sharpened.
"ah!!!!……"
Su Ming was preparing to go, but a sudden scream made him turn around.
At that moment, a dark figure rushed out.
"Ice Lock." Mu Bai reacted quickly, instantly unleashing Ice Lock to trap the shadow.
It was only at this moment that Su Ming and Mu Bai could clearly see what this creature actually was.
"Cursed beast!!" the two shouted in unison.
Swish swish swish swish swish
Dozens of black beast demons suddenly sprang out from the surrounding bushes, staring at the two men menacingly, drooling and utterly disgusting.
Black Beast Demon, Cursed Beast Demon, are merely the symbols of the Black Vatican, the Black Vatican that kills people here!
"Mu Bai, let's go back. There's only one cursed beast here; I can handle it," Su Ming shouted. The shout just now belonged to Ge Xin; they might be in big trouble over there.
Ge Xin is a healing mage with little combat power. Green Brother's abilities cannot be fully trusted either; he's only half a person. There's only one and a half people who can actually fight.
Although they believed that Mu Qianjin could handle it, they couldn't help but worry, since they didn't know the other party's situation. If more than two cursed beasts appeared, they would be doomed.
Moreover, the sheer number of these black beast demons is terrifying; they might not be able to hold out.
"Be careful." Mu Bai didn't hesitate and immediately prepared to leave, trusting that Su Ming could handle everything here.
swish
Two tall figures jumped out, and Mu Bai, who was about to leave, stopped in his tracks, his face darkening.
Two cursed beasts jumped out, forcing him to stop.
One cursed beast demon is nothing, two are also manageable, they're not untouchable, but three plus so many black beast demons, even if Su Ming is incredibly powerful, he's no match for them. If he leaves, Su Ming's life will be in serious danger.
I can't leave now.
Mu Bai stopped, preparing to launch a counterattack with magic.
Xiao Qing had already emerged. He was now a War General, facing one of the organized beast demons alone, along with two others, one for each of them. Although they were very powerful, these cursed beast demons were no match for them, but those little black beast demons were too troublesome.
The sheer number of them severely restricted their movements.
On Mu Qianjin's side, they were suddenly attacked. Green Brother was attacked by the cursed beast hiding in the dark. If he hadn't dodged a distance in time, he would be dead now.
Ge Xin is treating him. Although he is not dead, he is not in good condition and certainly has no fighting ability.
Now, only Mu Qianjin among the three has the ability to fight. Fortunately, she is very strong. Even if she were to fight two cursed beast demons and dozens of black beast demons by herself, she would not be at a disadvantage.
However, the cursed beasts here are not ordinary warrior-level monsters. She can easily defeat one, but not two. Mu Qianjin is having a very difficult time fighting them, even though she has already cultivated to the second level of the intermediate stage.
Mu Qianjin didn't expect Su Ming and Mu Bai to come back. With attacks happening here, things were probably in no better shape there either. They were likely too busy taking care of themselves to do anything else.
Otherwise, they would have come long ago if they had heard Xiaoxin's voice; the fact that they didn't come speaks volumes.
