Chapter 140: The First Warning of the Yangmu Clan
In an instant, the six of them boarded the giant bat's back. Xiao Lang and Qiu Qiu followed closely behind He Lian Nuo to the first bat, perhaps feeling Xiao Lang's holy beast aura, the bat trembled noticeably, and the man driving it comforted it for a while before it reluctantly took flight.
Can't help but say that this giant bat, although it looks very ugly, is actually extremely stable when flying, and with the characteristics of bats being active at night, even though the sky has already completely darkened, their speed is not affected in the slightest. Among the group, except for Mo Fei who was trembling with fear, the others felt quite fresh and would occasionally look around, the little wolf who was flying in the sky for the first time stood up on its hind legs wanting to reach the stars that seemed within arm's length, while Qiu Qiu, who was normally very active, just lay down beside it, looking at it with disdain, seemingly feeling extremely embarrassed by its unusual behavior.
For some reason, the three men riding on bats all had their faces taut and expressionless as they stared ahead, not exchanging a word with Helianuo and his group. Lu Fei, relying on his acquaintance with the Yao Mu clan, tried to strike up a conversation several times, but was each time lightly ignored by the other party. Helianuo, seeing this scene, didn't feel particularly surprised; before embarking on this journey, he had already mentally prepared himself for all sorts of difficulties. After all, it wasn't possible that the remaining four clans would be as loyal and unwavering as the Duan Jin clan, silently enduring for a hundred years without complaint.
"This damned Mù Mù Lǐn, what on earth is he up to? I'll definitely ask him clearly when I see him!", Luó Fēi had hit a snag several times and his face couldn't help but look somewhat unsightly. It's worth noting that he has a rather thick relationship with Mù Mù Lǐn, the patriarch of the Yào Mù clan. The other party's cold treatment of him is already an affront, not to mention that this time, Hè Lián Nuò, the successor of the Hè Lián clan, is also following along. If there isn't a convincing reason, then the actions of the Yào Mù clan are truly thought-provoking.
The giant bat flew for four or five hours before slowly descending, and He Lian Nu gently woke up Lan You Ruo, who had unknowingly fallen asleep. Before that, Mo Fei Bai jumped down, but like last time, he leaned against a large tree and started vomiting violently. The three men who came to greet them saw that everyone had left the bat's back, and without any explanation, they directly drove the bat into the air and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.
"What does the Yaoke family mean by this? They've actually abandoned us in the wilderness, without even a welcoming party? You voyeur, I think it won't be easy for you to subdue them! ", Mo Fei's face turned pale, but he still complained with a full stomach.
"This hospitality of the Yaoke family is indeed a bit special!" Helianuo couldn't help but look around at the dense big trees, although he had already expected that this trip wouldn't be too smooth, but still didn't think it would be so unsmooth. Originally, according to his plan, after meeting the patriarch of the Yaoke family, no matter what price he paid, he must have moved him, but now the problem is that the other party doesn't even give him a chance to meet. This tactic of winning without making a move has left Helianuo somewhat at a loss.
"Hmph, that old scoundrel Mu Mu Lin is at it again! Young Master, don't get angry, I'll teach him a lesson on your behalf once we see him. Although this place is desolate, I've already found the way. Everyone follow me, let's hurry to their hideout first!" Luo Fei's face was filled with rage as he drew his large sword from his back and hacked out a path, leading the way. He Lian Nuo couldn't think of a better plan, so he called out to the others, who followed closely behind him.
A group of six people, including He Lian, were making their way through the dense forest with difficulty. In a secluded area of the Yao Mu tribe, a man with black hair and beard was lounging in a rocking chair, fanning himself with a banana leaf fan, looking extremely comfortable. Next to him stood a man wearing a green robe, who reported in a low voice: "Tribe leader, we have just received news that the three people sent to welcome the Lu Fei tribe leader have completed their task and abandoned them twenty miles away from our hideout, according to plan. Our scout spirit monkeys report that those people are slowly approaching us, although not quickly, they have not stopped!"
"Oh? It seems they're really playing for real this time! No matter, tell the clan to create some minor obstacles for them. I won't let them arrive here unscathed." The middle-aged man on the rocking chair slowly opened his eyes, and a glint of sharpness flashed in his gaze.
"I understand, but... In the letter sent by Luo Fei's clan leader last time, it was mentioned that this time, he came with the young master of the He Lian tribe. We're doing this... Is it really okay?" The green-robed person hesitated for a moment before expressing his concern.
"Hmph, if it weren't for the young master of the He Lian clan accompanying me, why would I have gone to such great lengths to set this up? The He Lian clan, how long has it been since I've heard that name?" The middle-aged man casually waved his hand and dismissed the green-robed person.
He Lian and others would not have thought that their every move had already been transmitted to the Yao Mu clan in the first time, at this moment they were struggling to move forward in the dense forest, although Luo Fei had made great efforts to open up the road, but due to the lush woods of this place, everyone was delayed for more than half an hour, and only walked out a little more than one mile.
"What the...! Who hit me?!", The crowd was walking quietly when Mo Fei Bai suddenly covered his forehead and shouted loudly, The crowd turned around to see a big blood blister on his forehead, with fresh blood oozing out, instantly flowing down to his cheeks.
"Everyone be careful, Luo Fei and Lei Shuo are leading the way ahead, Sang Xiao is helping them keep watch, I'll take care of the rear. You Yu, hurry up and bandage Little White's wounds!", He Lian Nu drew out the Tian Lang dagger from his waist and began to cautiously guard himself. Speaking of which, this Tian Lang dagger was actually picked up by Xiao Lang in the Blood Refining Tower, and now that they had reunited, Xiao Lang naturally returned the dagger to He Lian Nu.
"Look out!", not long after, Sang Xiao shouted again, with this warning, the fire sword in his hand suddenly swung horizontally, blocking an object flying towards Luo Fei in mid-air. Sharp-eyed He Lianuo had already seen clearly that the blocked object was a stone with clear edges!
"It's coming again!", Mo Fei Bai, who had just bandaged his forehead, saw a stone flying towards He Lian Nu and hastily grabbed his long sword to block it. Lan You Ruo, with her keen eyesight, had already seen the direction of the stone and swiftly grabbed the long whip at her waist, fiercely lashing out in the direction the stone came from!
Everyone only heard a mournful howl, Lan You Ruo's long whip wrapped around a fluffy object and flew back, her wrist sank lightly, the object was heavily slammed to the ground by the whip tip, and the miserable wails didn't stop!
"It's a mountain goblin!", Luo Fei blocked He Lianuo who wanted to go forward and kill, his face heavy with a low voice explanation: "This is a kind of animal that is unique to the deep forest, it is similar to monkeys, but its strength is more than ten times that of monkeys, and its speed is agile, clever, and extremely aggressive. Any creature that is entangled by them will find it very difficult to get rid of, the most frightening thing is that this kind of animal always appears in groups..."
"Gulu... gulu...", a series of gulping and foaming sounds rose, the six people involuntarily looked around, only to see that the surrounding big trees were already crowded with animals of the same appearance as the one on the ground. They bared their teeth, shouted, jumped up and down, warning and expressing their anger in various ways, the only thing they had in common was that each of them tightly grasped a stone of varying sizes in their hands!
"Protect the Gold!"
"Wall of Wind!", almost at the same time, Luo Fei and Mo Feibai hastily deployed their most skilled defensive soul techniques, while He Lian Nuo pulled Lan You Ruo and Qiu Qiu into his own embrace!
As a deafening scream pierced the air, all the mountain goblins raised their arms and desperately hurled the stones in their hands at the empty space where the six people stood. A chaotic clatter was heard as the wind wall created by Mo Fei Bai was quickly dispersed by the rain of stones, while Luo Fei's golden guardian only swayed slightly a few times. The difference in their cultivation levels had already become apparent in this round of attacks.
"Don't worry, young master. These mountain goblins may have some brute strength, but in the face of my Golden Guardian, their attacks are nothing to be concerned about. However, this Golden Guardian cannot move, and those goblins don't seem like they'll disperse anytime soon. I'm afraid our journey to the Yao Mu clan will be delayed significantly!" Luo Fei's expression was somewhat uneasy, as he had already begun to suspect that this mountain goblin attack was not just a coincidence.
"Lu Fei, these mountain goblins, could they be driven by the Yangmu clan?" He Lianuo looked at the mountain goblins jumping down from the outer mountains, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes. Even gods have three parts of fire, and He Lianuo was just an annoying person, but the Yangmu clan's repeated unfriendly behavior had already made him somewhat angry.
"The Yaomu clan can indeed control the Soul Beasts, but...", Luo Fei hesitated for a moment before speaking in a somewhat reserved tone, it was clear that he didn't want his old friend to get too close with He Lianuo.
"But what? My sincerity is infinite, but my patience has a limit. Is the Yaoke clan's actions not trying to give me a warning shot? Fine! I'll let them see what a real warning shot looks like!"
