90: A group of tool people
The group set off again, and along the way, Li Daoxuan slowly became familiar with these Disciples.
"Night Senior Brother, can you tell me in more detail?"
"Who exactly are you looking for?"
Night Qianyu looked melancholic and said bitterly, "Actually, I don't even know who we're looking for!"
"Junior Brother, you might not believe it, but our Sect Master was abducted, and we still don't even know who that man is."
Li Daoxuan was stunned. Didn't the Sect Master just return?
At this moment, she should be in the Heavenly Dao Sect, so how could she have been abducted?
"Is the Sect Master not in the Sect?"
Night Qianyu said sadly, "The Sect Master's heart was stolen! The Sect Master found a Dao Companion from who knows where, and they even have a child!"
"Do you know? The Sect Master is the object of affection for many Personal Disciples..."
Night Qianyu thought Li Daoxuan knew nothing, and without Li Daoxuan even needing to ask further, he spilled out all the recent events.
Li Daoxuan's mouth twitched, wanting to laugh.
After all that, the person you're looking for is actually me.
Li Daoxuan finally understood the whole story. In short, he was the one who caused this, and he hadn't expected Nangong Yin Xue to have such high popularity.
Li Daoxuan tried his best to appear righteously indignant.
"Senior Brother, I support your actions."
"Don't let me find out who that deadbeat is, otherwise I'll definitely beat him up and then suppress him for a hundred years."
"That's right, beat that deadbeat man to death and snatch back the Sect Master."
Li Daoxuan exclaimed, "Good heavens! You guys actually dare to covet the mother of my child, so I can't let you off easily."
Seeing Li Daoxuan silent, Night Qianyu thought he was in a bad mood.
However, Li Daoxuan was actually thinking about how to trick these guys.
Suddenly, Li Daoxuan's body stiffened, then a strange smile appeared on his face. This was exactly what he was hoping for.
The Phantom Nether Leopard, hidden in the dark, sent news that there was a situation not far ahead.
That was the territory of the Devouring Sky Python. Compared to a communal Yao Beast like the Boar Beast, the Devouring Sky Python was truly terrifying.
Individual Devouring Sky Pythons were also more powerful, and once they moved, the sheer number of them, covering the sky and ground, was truly terrifying.
Where a group of Devouring Sky Pythons passed, it was truly a place where not a blade of grass grew, a complete devastation.
Even Yao Beasts much stronger than them dared not easily provoke the Devouring Sky Pythons; instead, they stayed far away.
"Night Senior Brother, let's go this way. This way is more exciting. I wonder if you Senior Brothers dare?"
"Senior Brother Li, you underestimate us too much."
"With dozens of us working together, we are invincible in the outer reaches of this Dark Forest."
"Let's go! What's there to be afraid of?"
Li Daoxuan thought to himself, "I wonder who was just fleeing in disarray."
With just a small provocation from Li Daoxuan, these arrogant guys couldn't stand it, and the path was directly led astray by Li Daoxuan.
The group walked for a while longer before stopping.
Li Daoxuan was thinking about whether he could go to the Devouring Sky Python's territory and recruit some subordinates.
These guys would be perfect as tools.
"No way through?"
A large canyon appeared ahead, blocking their path. To get past, they either had to go around or cross the canyon.
As for flying over? No one dared to try! That would make them too conspicuous and provoke the Yao Beasts, easily leading to casualties.
Li Daoxuan knew that the large canyon in front of him was the territory of the Devouring Sky Python.
"Senior Brothers, this canyon is too dangerous. Let's take a detour."
"Go through!"
"We must go through!"
Night Qianyu hesitated a little. For any unknown place, one should not easily take risks.
The canyon was barren all around, eerily silent, clearly a dangerous place at first glance.
"Junior Brothers, how about we still..."
"Night Senior Brother, what are you afraid of? Even if we encounter danger, we can call for help."
"Have you forgotten that we still have several sub-teams?"
Night Qianyu found it hard to refuse and could only instruct, "Everyone must pay attention to safety, and be extremely careful."
"Night Senior Brother, don't worry."
The group entered in single file, cautiously stepping into the canyon. Li Daoxuan, the sly one, quickly slowed down and walked in the middle of the team.
Night Qianyu noticed that Senior Brother Li beside him was gone. He looked back and almost laughed in exasperation.
How afraid of death was this guy?
Li Daoxuan had no idea when he had put on a full set of armor, holding a sword in one hand and a large handful of Talismans in the other, cautiously looking around.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss~"
"Watch out!" Li Daoxuan heard the hiss of a snake and quickly called out a warning.
"Senior Brother Li, why are you yelling like a ghost?"
"It's just a small snake."
That Disciple casually caught the small snake, unhurriedly pulled out a small knife, cut open its belly, and took out the snake's gall.
"Junior Brother, this is a great tonic. Do you want to try some?"
Li Daoxuan's face turned green. This guy was here to cause trouble, wasn't he? This was truly offending the Devouring Sky Python clan to death.
Li Daoxuan was already ready for battle.
Just then, there was movement all around, and the movement grew louder and louder.
"Hiss, hiss~"
"Hiss, hiss, hiss~"
Rustle~ rustle rustle~
"Holy crap! Look, everyone!" Li Daoxuan couldn't help but exclaim, not out of fear, but because he had trypophobia.
All around, there were densely packed snakes, their eyes glowing green, staring fixedly at them.
"So many snakes!"
The group did not panic; instead, they looked at the reptiles as if they were prey.
"Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers, this is extra food for me."
"Hahahaha..."
Li Daoxuan: "!!!"
The Disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect immediately took action. Dazzling Spells and swift Flying Swords attacked all around, and the encircling snakes turned into showers of blood and dust in large swaths.
Li Daoxuan did not make a move. He ran wherever there were fewer snakes and more people.
These encircling snake Yao Beasts were actually just scouts; the true big ones were still hidden somewhere unknown.
"Hahahaha... exhilarating, it's truly exhilarating."
These Disciples were all in a frenzy of killing; the previous pent-up frustration was finally released.
These snake Yao Beasts had very weak defenses, far inferior to the thick-skinned Boar Beasts. Killing them was like slicing melons and dicing vegetables.
Li Daoxuan kept an eye on the movements around him.
What the group didn't know was that a pair of cold, bloodthirsty eyes were watching them from the shadows.
Li Daoxuan suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and looked in one direction, but he didn't see clearly, only catching a fleeting glimpse of seven-colored light.
Night Qianyu had come to Li Daoxuan's side at some point. He said with a smile:
"Senior Brother Li, do you need help?"
Li Daoxuan directly shook his head, refusing. He was very safe right now, and he didn't want to attract fire and summon the big guys.
Li Daoxuan liked to take people by surprise. He would let Night Qianyu and the others attract the fire, and then he would strike from behind, delivering a decisive blow.
Night Qianyu casually chopped down a few more snake Yao Beasts and teased, "Junior Brother, you're not good enough; you're too timid."
"Night Senior Brother, what is that behind you?"
