Therefore, those bats must be a deception used to confuse people.
Just before the bat rushed in, everyone had already set off fire spells to block the bat's way.
Sure enough, in just a moment, the bat disappeared without a trace, not even the burned bones were seen, which confirmed everyone's guess.
Gu Liushang shrank and lay on Mu Yichang's shoulder, and asked in a low voice: "Master, have all the bats flown away?"
He looked very scared and couldn't see any flaws.
Mu Yichang just patted Gu Liushang's arm symbolically and said, "They've all disappeared, don't be afraid."
The man hummed softly, then raised his head, and sure enough, the bat was gone.
Liu Shu led several people to move forward, while Mu Yichang walked at the end to avoid being outflanked.
Gu Liushang held Mu Yichang's waist with one hand and followed cautiously.
Everyone walked through the long corridor and found that the surroundings were becoming more and more spacious. It seemed that they were about to reach the lair of the rat demon.
Liu Shu also ordered his brothers to be on guard and not to take it lightly.
Sure enough, within a moment, there was a sudden violent shaking in the cave.
Mu Yichang raised her hand against the top of the cave and used her magic power to confine the entire rat hole in the barrier to prevent the rat hole from collapsing and the rat demon taking the opportunity to escape.
After a while, the cave stopped shaking and became calm again.
At this moment, Liu Shu felt a strange dark wind blowing towards him, blowing directly on Liu Shu's face.
Liu Shu immediately raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.
Mu Yichang hurriedly walked to the front, and Liu Shu said: "Uncle Mu, there is a heavy evil spirit coming."
The aura was accompanied by the sinister wind, and it was difficult not to detect it.
She said: "Don't worry, you lead everyone to stay put while I go to find out the truth first."
Liu Shu nodded.
Mu Yichang let go of Gu Liushang's hand, but the man held it tightly again.
"Master, don't let me go," he said.
Mu Yichang's eyes tightened, as if she remembered something, but at this moment she hesitated for a second, pushed his hand away, and said: "Wait for me here, follow your Senior Brother Liu, don't run around."
Before she took two steps, the man caught up with her again, "Master, I want to follow you."
Mu Yichang was silent for a moment, then nodded.
Probably because Mu Yichang asked him to stay, Gu Liushang relaxed his guard.
He couldn't let Master take risks alone. No matter what, he had to stand with Master.
The master and apprentice moved forward in the direction of the wind.
Soon Mu Yichang felt a stronger demonic aura coming towards her face. The extent of this demonic aura was not what ordinary monsters should have. Mu Yichang frowned unconsciously, with a vague feeling of a very bad premonition. .
At this moment, a sudden gust of wind whizzed past Mu Yichang's ears, causing Mu Yichang to suddenly come back to her senses.
A sharp claw sneaked up on Mu Yichang. Just when Mu Yichang thought it was inevitable, Gu Liushang suddenly stumbled and threw her away.
The rat demon missed the attack and attacked the two men again.
Mu Yichang quickly protected Gu Liushang behind her, summoned a long sword in her hand, and fought with the rat demon.
The rat demon's moves are very fierce, like a foolhardy robber who only cares about attacking.
Therefore, Mu Yichang quickly found a breakthrough. She used roundabout tactics to make the rat demon dizzy. Then, she passed the sword between the rat demon's brows and killed the rat demon.
Just when a bloody hole opened in the rat demon's body, countless rats sprang out from the huge rat demon's forehead and fled in a hurry.
Mu Yichang shouted: "Liu Shu, don't let anyone go!"
"Yes, Uncle Mu!" Then there was a sound of fighting and the strange cry of mice.
Gu Liuzhang, who was protected by Mu Yichang behind him, squinted his eyes and looked deeper into the cave with the dim red light.
He carefully grabbed Mu Yichang's sleeve and asked pitifully: "Master, are there other big rats? It's so scary."
Mu Yichang glanced back at him, with an indescribable strangeness in her eyes.
Gu Liushang's heart sank. He thought it was because his actions just now were exposed and made his master suspicious of him.
But something happened suddenly, and he had no other choice but to make this move.
At this moment, he could only pretend to be stupid until the end.
He carefully shook Mu Yichang's arm and said, "Master, did you hear me?"
Mu Yichang came back to her senses and comforted her symbolically: "Don't be afraid."
These words were very perfunctory, and Gu Liushang was not a fool, so he could naturally feel it.
He held Mu Yichang's arm tightly, acting scared and overwhelmed.
Fortunately, Mu Yichang did not delve into his loopholes in this situation, and just said: "Let's go further and see if there are other rat demons entrenched."
Gu Liushang hummed in a trembling voice and followed Mu Yichang's steps step by step.
As the two of them walked forward, they couldn't feel the cold wind from before, and they couldn't even feel the slightest airflow.
Logically speaking, the depths of the cave should be like this, but it just gives people a very bad feeling.
Especially Gu Liushang, he had a vague premonition of uneasiness. This premonition made him panic, and even his heart beat several times faster than usual without realizing it.
He thought: At least Master won't test him in this situation, right?
After all, there are still a few people outside. If a little mistake caused the death of those people, the master would be uneasy.
Therefore, Master should not take such a risk.
And Mu Yichang was indeed as he thought. At the moment, her whole mind was on the rat demon and she couldn't care about him at all.
Soon, they reached the end of the cave.
Mu Yichang looked at the dim light at the end and knew that the other rat demons had escaped through holes.
She quickly ordered Liu Shu to lead people to chase him, and told him, "The rat demon is stupid and needs to be outsmarted, and must not act recklessly."
Liu Shu is a reliable person and naturally understands the truth. He responded and led his brothers to chase after him.
At this moment, Mu Yichang felt a pounding heartbeat. She subconsciously glanced back at Gu Liushang, only to see that the man looked panicked, but the pulse on his wrist was very steady.
At this moment, Mu Yichang couldn't care less about why his pulse was so flat. All she could think about was where the extra anxious heartbeat came from.
She looked around carefully and finally found a stone wall with a slightly different color.
Mu Yichang pretended that nothing happened, and the moment she turned around, she grabbed the stone wall with her backhand.
Sure enough, in an instant, the stone wall turned into a piece of brown cloth and fell down, and in his hand was a guy who looked like a human but not a human, a rat but not a rat.
The guy's eyes were wide open, and his two long mouse front teeth looked particularly funny.
But Mu Yichang couldn't laugh at all, and instead increased her strength.
The rat demon struggled to breathe due to her pinch.
"Are you hiding here and want to make a sneak attack?" Mu Yichang asked.
The rat demon struggled and shook its head.
Mu Yichang relaxed her grip slightly, giving the rat demon a chance to breathe and speak.
The rat demon slowed down and then said: "It's not a sneak attack, it's not a sneak attack, I just... my legs... my legs are weak."
Mu Yichang frowned and said, "You can speak? It doesn't look like an ordinary rat demon."
The man realized that he had been exposed, and immediately covered his mouth with his hands, pretending to be stupid and shaking his head.
Mu Yichang would never condone these evil demons. She suddenly lifted the rat demon and slammed it against the stone wall behind him.
The rat demon's back hit the hard stone, blood spilled from his lips, and he became even more frightened.
Mu Yichang said: "You'd better not play tricks on me, why are you, the rat demon, entrenched here? What is the purpose of you and those of your kind?"
The rat demon was really scared and carefully swallowed the rusty taste in his mouth.
The guy shrunk his neck and said: "I...we...have no purpose, we just want to find a place to practice demon magic."
Mu Yichang frowned slightly, "I don't have the patience to allow you to quibble."
As she spoke, the strength of her hand became a little stronger.
The rat demon had difficulty breathing and struggled a few times before fresh air flowed into his chest again.
He coughed twice and became even more panicked.
Mu Yichang said: "Let me ask you again. The spiritual veins here are weak. It is as difficult as climbing to the sky to become a demon. What is your purpose? If you don't recruit from the truth, don't blame me for skinning you and removing your bones."
The rat demon was trembling with fear and stammered: "Yes... it's true. I don't dare to hide it from the great immortal."
Just when Mu Yichang was about to strike cruelly, the rat demon screamed: "Someone... someone is helping us."
Mu Yichang was startled, frowned and asked, "Is there someone? Who is it?"
The rat demon lowered his eyes, seeming to be thinking about something.
Mu Yichang thought he was hiding something intentionally and punched the rat demon in the abdomen.
The rat demon immediately started wailing, and the pain was so painful that its ugly features were twisted together, making it look even more ugly.
When Mu Yichang was about to land her next punch, the rat demon screamed: "I don't know who he is, I don't know, but I...but I remember his voice, as long as...as long as he lets me I heard it, I must... must recognize it."
Mu Yichang snorted coldly, "Do you think I have time for you to find this person in the vast sea of people in the world, or do you think I am stupid enough to be easily deceived by you."
In order not to be beaten, the rat demon said anything.
He said: "Great Immortal, please forgive me, I really only know so much. By the way... by the way, we met that person in Huimeng Mountain before. He... he was wearing black clothes and couldn't see clearly. He has a good face, but... there is one thing that is strange, he has a very strange demonic aura about him, but yet... he is still a mortal."
Huimeng Mountain and Fairy City are not far away, plus he is a mortal.
For some reason, the first person that came to Mu Yichang's mind was... Fang Dongyu.
Mu Yichang's eyes tightened, surprised by her own association.
She turned her attention back to the rat demon, "You'd better tell the whole story, otherwise..."
Mu Yichang did not finish her words, but shook the sword in her hand.
The rat demon swallowed in fear and nodded heavily.
It started half a year ago.
Originally, this group of rat demons lived on Huimeng Mountain. Because Huimeng Mountain is close to Xianling City, it can also be irradiated by the spiritual energy of Shuanghua Sect.
Therefore, although this place is not a treasured place for cultivation, it is at least a good place for outstanding individuals.
The rat demon was originally a gray short-haired rat named A Hui.
Of course, the name Ah Hui was a name he gave himself after he understood human nature well and gained some experience in cultivation.
Ah Hui is considered a very powerful mouse on Hui Meng Mountain, and he is also the only mouse who can cultivate into human form.
Even though his cultivated appearance is far from that of a real human being, he is already outstanding among the rats.
Relying on his own abilities, Ah Hui became the king of the rats on Huimeng Mountain in just a few years.
Ah Hui was very satisfied with this. Although he had no special abilities, he had a similar appearance. As long as he put on a black cloak and went out, others would treat him as an ordinary person.
But his good days lasted until half a year ago.
It was a rainy day. A Hui came back from buying food at the foot of the mountain, but he happened to encounter a heavy rain at the foot of the mountain.
So, he hid in a thatched house at the foot of the mountain.
The cloak got wet and A Hui could only take it off.
After all, this place was a thatched hut, and no one usually came here. In addition, it was not far from his cave, so he didn't have any defenses.
Just as Ah Hui was waiting for the rain to stop, suddenly a black shadow roared over, looking like a ball of black smoke.
Ah Hui was shocked. Although he had some ideas to practice, he was really bad at it and could only show off his skills among his group of rats.
Once he encounters something, he is the first to be scared to death.
Just like this moment, he was hiding by the broken window of the thatched house, his legs trembling like two trembling noodles.
Ah Hui was trembling and muttering silently: "You can't see me, you can't see me..."
I don't know if his voice was too loud, but after hovering for a few breaths, the black air rushed towards the thatched house.
Ah Hui screamed and sat on the ground with weak legs.
The black air broke through the window of the thatched house and stopped in front of A Hui.
A Hui was so frightened that he fainted on the spot.
When he woke up again, he no longer knew where he was.
He opened his eyes, and it was still pitch black. What was certain was that this was definitely not the dilapidated thatched hut.
Because there is a very strong strange smell in the air here.
What does that smell like?
Ah Hui couldn't tell, it wasn't disgusting or pleasant, but after smelling it, it made people feel very uncomfortable and even a little dizzy.
However, Ah Hui was not sure whether he felt this way because he smelled a strange smell at that time, or whether he felt like this because he was too scared.
After all, he thought he was going to die soon.
Earlier, he had heard that some demons would use demons with some cultivation as food to absorb more demon power.
He thought that this was probably what happened to him.
Suddenly, a heavy sound of a stone door exploded in A Hui's ears.
He widened his round eyes and followed the sound.
