There are not many villains like him.

After deciding on the route, Xiao Lianbi first contacted Lu Yuanzhen with a mirror. After listening to his proposal, Lu Yuanzhen told them to go first, and she would catch up behind.

After all, there were still a bunch of monks waiting for them to bring the antidote back in the other courtyard outside the secret place, and time was running out, so Xiao Lianbi, Qin Hanzhou and Jiang Zixun took a step ahead.

The three of them headed west all the way, and after walking for more than two hours, they reached a dense forest. Before entering the forest, a strong smell of blood came to their faces. , quietly walked in.

Although they were prepared for what was to come, they were still shocked when they actually saw it.

The dense forest was filled with blood-washed traces. The corpses of all kinds of monsters crawled all over the forest, and the snow was dyed deep red. It is constantly extending to the surroundings, making the bloody boundary bigger and bigger, as if it wants to swallow the entire forest.

"Who did this...?" Jiang Zixun said, looking at the horrific scene in front of him in astonishment.

Xiao Lianbi frowned, walked to the nearest corpse of a monster and squatted down.

Tan Hanzhou also walked to Xiao Lianbi's side and squatted down, looked at the corpse of the monster on the ground and said, "It should have been dug out of the inner alchemy and died of blood loss."

Xiao Lianbi nodded. Except for a bloody hole in the abdominal cavity, this monster has no scars on other parts of its body. From this point of view, the only possibility is that someone dug out the inner alchemy and lost blood to death.

"The inner alchemy has also been dug out at this end." Jiang Zixun said while squatting next to the corpse of another monster.

Xiao Lianbi got up quickly when he heard the words, and checked the corpses of several monsters, but all of them were dug up and bled to death without exception.

The corpses of monsters in front of me, there are hundreds if not thousands, and now all of them have been dug up and died, which almost confirms Xiao Lianbi's previous thoughts, the demon cultivator who poisoned the disciples in the other courtyard must not Otherwise, it would be impossible to kill so many ferocious beasts in such a short period of time, and the moves are fatal, without any traces of too many muddy fights.

Only taking Neidan, with such a strong purpose, it can almost be concluded that the crime was committed by a gang.

"Brother, what are you thinking?" Qin Hanzhou asked Xiao Lianbi at some point.

Xiao Lianbi came back to his senses and said, "It's nothing, it's just that my previous thoughts have been confirmed."

Jiang Zixun came over and asked, "But the poisoner mentioned earlier has other accomplices?"

"That's right." Xiao Lianbi said, "I just saw the wounds of a few monsters, and they were basically fatal with one move. It would be hard not to leave traces of fighting if one person did it alone."

Jiang Zixun deeply felt the same way, "That's true. If it weren't for his accomplices, I would be hard-pressed to imagine someone who could snatch so many magic beast inner alchemy without leaving any clues."

"Brother, there are footprints here." Tan Hanzhou said suddenly.

Xiao Lianbi and Jiang Zixun walked over immediately, and saw a shallow footprint on a pool of blood-stained snow. The footprint was too shallow, and had lost its original shape after being covered by the blood of the monster. , You can't tell the difference unless you look carefully.

Xiao Lianbi looked along the perimeter of this footprint, trying to find other footprints that could be connected with it. After he pushed aside a small stalk of dry grass, he found another footprint as expected.

However, compared with the first one, this footprint is obviously much messier, and it looks like someone has repeatedly stepped on the past.

However, this did not affect Xiao Lianbi's judgment. He stood up and walked in the direction where the messy footprints extended. Tan Hanzhou and Jiang Zixun seemed to realize what he had discovered, and followed instinctively.

So the three of them kept walking along this footprint until they reached a cliff, and the footprints suddenly disappeared.

Jiang Zixun bent down to pick up a stone on the ground and threw it down to the bottom of the cliff. The stone fell smoothly and without a trace of echo. The depth of the bottom of the cliff can be imagined.

"Senior Brother Xiao, this doesn't look like an illusion deliberately created by someone to deceive people." Jiang Zixun said while looking at the bottom of the cliff.

The footprints are just off the edge of the cliff, which is easily reminiscent of an illusion made to cover people's eyes and ears, and to block the pursuit of people coming from behind.

But Xiao Lianbi didn't think that their traces had been discovered. It was suspicious that the footprints were broken here, but the more thought in his mind now was to go to the bottom of the cliff to find out.

Xiao Lianbi walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down at the situation at the bottom of the cliff.

The cloud and mist completely covered the situation at the bottom of the cliff, and it could only be seen from a place closer to him. The cliff wall was covered with thick ice, and some ice cones of different lengths were distributed on the ice layer. , looks sharp and sharp, if one accidentally bumps into it during the fall, it is very likely that you will never be able to come up from the bottom of the cliff again.

Jiang Zixun said in a probing tone: "Senior Brother Xiao, you don't mean to go down, do you?" He pointed to the bottom of the cliff.

Xiao Lianbi nodded, "Since the footprints disappeared from here, you should go down to have a look."

"But what if this is a trap made by those people?" Jiang Zixun said, "Just wait for us to jump down and fall to pieces."

Xiao Lianbi explained: "Didn't you try it just now? This is not an artificial illusion, and we have been in the secret realm for so long, and we have not encountered anything except the corpses of those monsters. I don't think the other party has discovered ours. trace."

Jiang Zixun pondered for a moment, then said: "But be careful sailing for thousands of years, if we just jump off like this, I'm afraid..."

"Junior brother Jiang, we have no way out." Xiao Lianbi said.

The lives of a group of disciples in the other courtyard are in their hands at this moment. Although Xiao Lianbi did not show anything about this on the surface, the pressure in his heart is no less than that of any one person. He has not been able to find the poisoner before. He was actually very worried about the traces of the poison, because he was afraid that before he could find the antidote, Xinyou and the others would be unable to withstand the poison and lose their lives in vain.

So now it's hard to find the traces of those people, even if there is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den under the cliff, he still has to go for it.

Jiang Zixun looked at him silently, speechless for a while.

"Brother." Tan Hanzhou on the side suddenly held Xiao Lianbi's hand, looked at him with crooked eyes and said, "No matter where you go, Hanzhou will accompany you."

Xiao Lianbi nodded, with a calm expression on his face, he wanted to withdraw the hand held by the other party, but he couldn't do so after pulling for a long time, so he had to signal the other party to let go with his eyes.

But Tan Hanzhou's answer to Xiao Lianbi was to hold the other's hand even tighter, and even scratched Xiao Lianbi's palm intentionally or unintentionally, as if flirting.

Regarding this, Xiao Lianbi had to sigh once again that his hero's skin was so thick that it was outrageous, but he had nothing to do with him, and he felt aggrieved just thinking about it.

So Xiao Lianbi had no choice but to completely ignore Tan Hanzhou's provocative behavior, and said to Jiang Zixun: "Junior Brother Jiang is not as good as you, so stay here. First, if there is really an ambush under the cliff, we won't be caught in one go. You can keep an eye on Yuan Zhen's movements here, and meet him early."

After Xiao Lianbi finished speaking, he thought it was a watertight statement. He didn't force Jiang Zixun to go down with him to the danger, but also gave Jiang Zixun a step down, so that the other party would not feel that it was because they sensed that there was something under the cliff. Danger, caused by timidity not daring to go down.

In the end, Jiang Zixun retorted righteously, "Senior brother Xiao, you are underestimating Zixun. Although Zixun is not talented, he still knows the priorities."

"It was Zixun who was worrying too much just now. Brother Xiao, you are right. We really have no way out now." Jiang Zixun said: "I hope Brother Xiao can forget what Zixun said just now and let Zixun go down with you." This cliff."

Jiang Zixun's words made Xiao Lianbi feel a little ashamed, because he treated a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart, "I just made a slip of the tongue, Junior Brother Jiang, don't take it to heart."

After saying that, Xiao Lianbi wanted to bow his hands to salute the other party, but before he could raise his hand, Jiang Zixun quickly saluted him first, "Senior brother Xiao is serious, it is Zixun who made mistakes first."

Jiang Zixun gave all the salutes, Xiao Lianbi should have returned the salute no matter what, but in the end he raised his hand halfway and then retreated.

This time, it wasn't Jiang Zixun who interrupted him, but Tan Hanzhou who was beside him pushed his palm back.

Xiao Lianbi shook Tan Hanzhou's hand a little annoyed, but he still couldn't shake it off. Seeing Jiang Zixun was there, Xiao Lianbi didn't lose his temper immediately, but showed an apologetic expression to Jiang Zixun and put Tan Hanzhou away. brought aside.

Xiao Lianbi frowned and asked, "What are you doing holding my hand all this time?"

Tan Hanzhou's expression was not very good either, and he said in a calm voice, "If Hanzhou hadn't grabbed the senior brother, wouldn't the senior brother still want to 'worship' with that Jiang Zixun?"

Xiao Lianbi raised his head and pinched the center of his brows, took a deep breath and said, "...Junior brother Jiang and I are making an apology to each other."

Now Xiao Lianbi really wants to dig out the other person's brain to see how the brain circuits inside can twist such a serious and ordinary action into "husband and wife worship"!

"That's why senior brother is too naive." Tan Hanzhou said seriously, "Men are not easy-going lamps."

Xiao Lianbi almost believed him when he saw the serious look of the other party. When he came back to his senses, he realized that Tan Hanzhou was purely serious nonsense. Explain, turn around and leave.

Tan Hanzhou held Xiao Lianbi's hand and refused to let him go, "Look, brother is bewitched by him now, and he doesn't even want to believe Hanzhou's words."

Xiao Lianbi only felt that the veins on his forehead were about to pop out, and said almost gnashing his teeth, "...Jiang Zixun has someone he likes." He swore that this was the last time he would explain this to Tan Hanzhou.

Tan Hanzhou raised his eyebrows vigilantly, and asked, "Who is it? What's your name?"

Xiao Lianbi recalled it for a while, and said, "It's called Lian'er."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Lianbi felt Tan Hanzhou's hand tightening suddenly.

Xiao Lianbi's palm was aching from being pinched by the other party, and just about to have an attack, he saw Tan Hanzhou looking at Jiang Zixun, with a half-smile at the corner of his mouth, and said slowly, "...I just said, senior brother is too simple."
