The shrill whistle resounded through the night sky and suddenly stopped.
"Not good!" Zhao Beiqing, who was meditating, was shocked and hurried out of the tent.
On the top of the cliff not far away, I could vaguely see three disciples lying on the ground, motionless.
Next to it, there is no one!
No murderer?
At this time, Feng Ziyan, Zhang Hejing and others also rushed out of their tents and looked at the top of the cliff, looking at each other.
The situation was unclear, and no one dared to step forward rashly.
Zhao Beiqing sent his spiritual consciousness forward, frantically exploring every suspicious place.
Suddenly, he frowned, made quick gestures with his fingers, and a stream of flames shot towards the top of the cliff.
The flame was extremely fast, reaching the top of the cliff in an instant, and then dispersed with a bang, turning into a rain of fire with a radius of thirty or forty feet.
The fire rain fell suddenly, completely covering the area.
Two humanoid monsters suddenly appeared.
This monster is less than five feet tall, has a head and four limbs, and looks like an ordinary person from a distance.
However, if you look closely, you can see that his body is light gray, with a stooped waist and skinny bones.
"Shadow Demon!" Zhao Beiqing shouted. At this moment, he had figured out the whole thing.
Shadow demons are good at invisibility. They usually take on the form of demons when fighting, but when they carry out sneak attacks or hide in stealth, they will turn into shadows, making them difficult to defend against.
Its appearance is close to human. Among demons, the closer their appearance is to humans, usually the higher their rank.
The higher-level demons have absolute power over lower-level demons, unless their cultivation levels are hugely different.
The group of horned demons just now must have been driven by them to attract the attention of the monks in the open, but these two shadow demons were secretly hidden in the magic mist.
The magic fog has a very strong obstructive effect on spiritual consciousness, and it is difficult to detect it unless repeated inspections are made.
However, after repeated exploration, the spiritual consciousness will also be invaded and polluted by the magic mist. Over time, it will cause irreparable damage to the monk's foundation.
So Zhao Beiqing just took a quick glance at it and found nothing.
This cannot be blamed for his carelessness, because for thousands of years, high-level demons have rarely appeared in the Zhenyu Realm.
After all, the intelligence of the upper-level demons is not inferior to that of humans. Naturally, they know that the consequences of traveling to the Jade Realm are death and no life. How can they die in vain?
Therefore, Hall Master Zhao has spent most of his life fighting low-grade things like bee demons and horned demons. This is the first time he has encountered high-level demons.
"To actually send high-ranking demons to explore the way, this shows that the demons in the demon world are already planning to invade the Zhenyu Realm, and it is no longer the small fight before."
Thinking of this, Zhao Beiqing's face became more worried.
As for the shadow demon who had deceived the surveillance of these monks, why did he come back to attack again?
On this point, Zhao Beiqing had consulted the information on various demon clans in his early years and knew this very well.
The Shadow Demon is bloodthirsty, especially when traveling between two realms, which consumes a lot of his body and is even more hungry for blood.
It's a pity that the Black Demon Ridge is a hundred miles away and is deserted, not even a wild beast. These two shadow demons must have ventured back at night, hungry.
However, the monks who were camping were not far away from each other, so they did not dare to act rashly, so they extended their claws to the three people who were on duty at night.
Thanks to Zhao Beiqing's whim tonight, he arranged for one more person to stay on duty tonight. Although Shadow Demon also has another ability, when it is close to a target, it will paralyze the target silently and then reveal its whereabouts.
However, this time we faced three people. As a result, Xuan Qianqiu was not completely controlled, so he managed to break free a little and blew the whistle that had been on his lips, which alerted everyone.
These many thoughts only occurred in Zhao Beiqing's mind for a moment. At this time, the two shadow demons were forced by the fire rain and let out two miserable screams, and had to expose themselves.
They glared resentfully in Zhao Beiqing's direction, then sprang out to the left and right sides of the cliff, and soon disappeared again.
The Zifu level fire rain did not cause much harm to them existing in the shadow state.
"Chase!" Zhao Beiqing shouted. He has clearly seen that the two shadow demons are both at the level of demon generals, which reassures him a lot.
They must be killed on the spot, otherwise, with the characteristics of this monster being good at hiding, there will be endless trouble!
"Master Feng, lead Group A and chase the one on the right!" He then ordered.
He took Group B and prepared to chase the one that escaped from the left.
Among the three people on duty just now, two were from Group B, so the group he led currently only had eight people, which was slightly weaker than Group A.
Finally, there is one person——
Zhao Beiqing looked at Zhang Hejing with a stern expression: "Junior sister Zhang, you stay! Responsible for handling the three martyrs, pay attention to safety!"
"yes!"
Feng Ziyan, Zhang Hejing, and all the monks in the field all obeyed orders with dignity!
…
In the blink of an eye, everyone left, leaving only Zhang Hejing standing on the spot.
Before leaving, someone looked at her strangely. However, she knew very well in her heart that it was not her senior brother who took care of her and kept her away from the battlefield, but his trust in her abilities.
Among the twenty people present, except for the two Purple Mansion Hall Masters, there were eighteen Foundation Builders left, among whom she had the highest cultivation level and the most experience.
She walked towards the top of the cliff with light steps but a serious look on her face.
After a while, she came to the three people and stood three feet away.
Only two monks were seen with their heads hanging down, and the other was lying on his back with a police whistle in his mouth.
A trace of sadness flashed through her eyes.
Suddenly, one of the people with his head lowered moved slightly, and a moan came from his mouth.
Zhang Hejing remained expressionless, still standing still, slowly raising the Jingshui Sword in his hand.
The man slowly opened his eyes and raised his head with difficulty, revealing a young and handsome face, which was the second and third choice.
"Senior Sister Zhang." He looked at Zhang Hejing with a smile on his face.
Zhang He remained silent and stared at him coldly.
Xuan Ersan's smile gradually froze, and his eyes gradually changed from soft to fierce.
"You stinky bitch!" he suddenly yelled.
"Junior Brother Qin, rest in peace." Zhang Hejing muttered silently, and swung down the sword in his hand without hesitation.
At this moment, another corpse with its head hanging down suddenly rose up and pounced towards her.
Zhang Hejing did not dodge or evade, and the sword changed from a straight cut to a cross cut.
A sword light, with an indestructible momentum, instantly cut the two people in front of him into four pieces.
Four masses of black mist steamed out from the corpse and gradually dissipated around it.
Zhang Hejing sighed and looked at the corpse that had turned blood red again, unable to suppress the grief on his face any longer.
It turns out that Shadow Demon also has a special ability, which is demonization.
The monks killed by them were driven by demonic energy.
These monks had just died, and some of their consciousness during their lifetimes was still retained, but all that remained were negative emotions.
That junior brother Qin must have heard about the ambiguous relationship between Hall Master Zhao and the senior sister in front of him.
Normally, I would probably just laugh it off and treat it as conversation material.
But just now, driven by the demonic energy, he became violent, manic, and unscrupulous.
…
Zhang Hejing put the three bodies into storage bags, then took off their storage bags and put them away.
These relics will be sent to the Demon Control Palace for processing.
She picked up the magic mirror in Selector Seventeen's hand, but it was damaged. She didn't know whether it was because of the battle just now, or whether it had been destroyed before.
After doing all this, she arranged several more warning formations around her before taking a short rest.
The three night watch monks never thought that a monster would touch them, so they didn't even set up a warning formation.
Learning from past mistakes, she will naturally not make this mistake again.
I don’t know how long it took, but she seemed to be moved, and she suddenly looked up at the sky.
I saw another black meteorite at the crack in the magic cloud, heading this way——
Come straight on!
