For Li Haonan and others, the truly terrifying thing about these monster beasts is not their large numbers, but their aggressive and fearless attack method.
Under normal circumstances, facing these monsters, Cui Yingxiong should have completely suppressed them and then retreated after causing massive damage.
It is a biological instinct to choose to retreat when encountering a strong person and knowing that he is outmatched.
But these monsters won't.
They seemed to be completely unafraid of death. Even after their companions in front were killed, they still dared to continue charging forward.
In fact, even if they don't retreat, as long as they know they are afraid, they will inevitably be timid and will not create so much pressure on them and cause a lot of casualties.
As the sword holder of Bai Jade City, Li Haonan wanted to protect every member of the Demon Suppression Department, but the world is so cruel, and not everything he wants to do can be achieved.
Li Haonan led his men and launched another fierce offensive. This time Cui Yingxiong also participated again, holding a formation stone in his hand, trapping and killing dozens of monsters.
When those monsters were completely defeated, Li Haonan signaled everyone not to pursue the enemy, and then strode to Cui Yingxiong.
"Lord Xingjun, what's going on?"
Anyway, he couldn't understand it. Cui Yingxiong happened to be here. He was older and stronger, so he was well-informed.
Cui Yingxiong looked at the direction where a group of monsters were fleeing, and after a brief hesitation, he gave his answer.
"The people who originally controlled them seemed to suddenly lose control."
"Huh? Why is this?"
Cui Yingxiong glanced at Li Haonan and said impatiently: "You ask me, who should I ask? Don't we always stay together?"
Li Haonan smiled sheepishly.
"But..." Cui Yingxiong's eyes became deep. He turned his face and looked in one direction, "It should be related to the earthquake just now."
"Huh?" Li Haonan's eyes widened, "You mean, we have help? Is it Mr. Xing who came from the capital?"
"It's hard to say..." Cui Yingxiong shook his head.
At this moment, a shout suddenly came from behind.
"Cui Xingjun! Lao Cui!"
Hearing this voice, Cui Yingxiong immediately became energetic.
He turned around and strode through the crowd behind him. When he saw Luo Tianhan, his expression was filled with excitement.
"Yes...it's reinforcements!"
"Our reinforcements are coming!"
A group of people shouted a few words decently, but then slowly calmed down. If it had been before, they might have cried excitedly when they saw Luo Tianhan and others.
But now, they have defeated the swarm of monster beasts and the threat has been temporarily lifted. It is difficult for their emotions to reach their peak.
It can only be said that Luo Tianhan and the others came at the wrong time.
When Cui Yingxiong walked up to Luo Tianhan and stopped, he immediately asked: "Just... was it you who did it?"
"What?" Luo Tianhan cast a questioning look, "Just now?"
"That's the movement just now, isn't it you?" Cui Yingxiong asked doubtfully.
When he saw Luo Tianhan, he subconsciously thought that the movement just now and the terrifying energy that spread were caused by Luo Tianhan. Although people hadn't arrived yet, he brought them support first.
But looking at Luo Tianhan's confused expression at this moment, Cui Yingxiong realized that he might have guessed wrong.
After understanding what Cui Yingxiong wanted to ask, Luo Tianhan seemed a little surprised.
"You...don't know what's going on?"
"Isn't this nonsense!" Cui Yingxiong said angrily, "If I knew, would I still mistake it for you?"
"That's right." Luo Tianhan smiled awkwardly and looked at Cui Yingxiong with a strange look.
Why does it feel like Lao Cui's temper became bad not long after he went to Star City?
Is the work pressure of the Demon Suppression Department really that high?
After a confrontation, the two fell silent again.
They turned at the same time and looked in the direction of the loud noise that came from earlier.
After a brief silence, Qingchen suddenly thought of something. He looked around carefully, his eyes seemed to be searching, and then he asked: "Master Xingjun, haven't you met Gu Yuan?"
"I met him, but in the blink of an eye, he was gone again."
"No more?" Qingchen thumped.
"It's just that he's gone, not dead." Cui Yingxiong said, "No one knows where he went."
After a pause, Cui Yingxiong said again: "You don't think that what happened just now has something to do with him, do you?"
Qingchen didn't think so much, but he was a little surprised when he saw Kong Baihe but not Gu Yuan.
Kong Baihe and Gu Yuan came up together before.
In addition, Qingchen found out that Kong Baihe's current condition was not very good, and he became even more worried.
"Gu Yuan's situation is a bit complicated." Cui Yingxiong sighed and said, "Let's go over there and take a look first."
After saying this, Cui Yingxiong took steps and walked in one direction.
That's where the strong surge of energy came from before.
Cui Yingxiong believed that the earthquake just now was the main reason for the sudden change of those monsters.
After walking for about twenty minutes, Cui Yingxiong and others finally stopped.
The expression on Kong Baihe's face became increasingly weird.
"Cui Xingjun."
"Um?"
"If I remember correctly, we retreated all the way from this position before, and finally retreated to the back, right?" Kong Baihe looked around, "Gu Yuan disappeared before, was it here?"
"It seems... almost right?" Cui Yingxiong said with a frown.
Before, everyone was fighting and retreating, so of course it was impossible to stay in one position. Moreover, under such circumstances, it was impossible for Cui Yingxiong and others to focus on the surrounding environment.
Besides, they are not familiar with this place, and they feel that everything looks the same.
When they saw the ravine left by Gu Yuan, each of them seemed to have been cast a immobilization spell, unable to move for a long time.
When the wind blows, a chill comes.
Cui Yingxiong shivered and took a few steps forward, carefully examining the ravine in front of him.
In this ravine, countless monster beast corpses were buried. At this moment, only the remains of broken arms were left, not even a complete corpse could be seen.
"Who on earth did this?" Cui Yingxiong took a breath and his hair stood up.
Li Haonan closed his eyes, as if he was comprehending something carefully. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and two words popped out of his mouth.
"It's a knife."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes focused on him.
"What?"
"It's a knife! I can feel that there is still sword energy left here." Li Haonan said firmly.
Although he is extraordinary, he is accustomed to using knives, which is somewhat similar to Gu Yuan. At this moment, Li Haonan closed his eyes and seemed to be able to sense the scene that just happened here.
Some people died, but not completely...
