The vine was obviously wary of Xu Zizai. Step by step, it began to retreat, even starting to move towards the other side of the cave.
It has to be said that this monster really knows how to judge a person's martial prowess. Right now, I doubt if she has taken a fancy to my ability or if I should just eat her up.
Xu Zizai stood in front of me and said in a disdainful tone, "I haven't seen you for a while and you were almost eaten by this thing. You really do have the physique of a natural disaster, next time you should obediently let your husband bring you out. At least your safety is guaranteed."
Although I knew he was concerned about me, his words were still not pleasant to hear and I couldn't help but want to refute him.
However, there was someone who had rushed in front of me.
Xiao Hong changed into a new set of clothes and stood by my side. She held a dagger in her hand and quickly said with a cold expression, "It's best if you take care of yourself! Why are you blabbering so much about other people's matters? "
"You women are all retarded, I won't tell you more!" With that said, Xu Zizai rushed towards the vines.
In the past, I always thought that cultivators mainly relied on tools, such as paper talismans and weapons. But now, this phenomenon has completely overturned my understanding.
Xu Zizai was relying on his own strength to fight. His hands were like steel tendons and bones as they tore through the vines. Every time the vines surrounded him, they would be torn apart in an instant.
As more and more juices accumulated on the floor, I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable looking at this bloody scene. If it was red, the scene would be even more bloody.
Just as the vines were about to be torn apart, the monster finally started begging for mercy in panic.
"I was just confused for a moment. Moreover, I can be considered to have helped you leave the mountain monster's barrier. If you let me go, I will definitely take care of you guys in the future."
Xu Zizai paused for a moment, then said: "So you were by our side from the very beginning, I didn't think that your concealing technique was so good, even that aura leader couldn't see you, so you shouldn't have stayed. You know too many of our secrets."
Being called an aura leader made me blush a little, but the words that came after made me extremely angry. What secret!
Don't be so flirtatious, okay?
"I, I didn't hear anything! It was only at the beginning. I was afraid that I would be found out and leave! "Otherwise, how did I manage to bite that woman!"
It tried to defend itself loudly. The cunning monster was slowly shifting its remaining vines. I looked at Xu Zizai just as he was about to remind me, I felt a sense of panic from the human form beside me.
The remaining vines were all cut down by Xiao Hong's daggers. They writhed on the ground for a few moments, then lost all signs of life.
Having lost everything it could use, it had nowhere to run. It could only allow itself to be slaughtered.
"You cunning humans! I can't rest in peace in death! "
Xu Zizai stepped on his body and shamelessly said, "So what if you die with your eyes open? No matter how much you try to explain it to anthropology, it's all useless."
As he spoke, he stomped his foot and shattered the last part of the torso, revealing the still beating heart within.
I looked at him in surprise. "Do monsters have hearts?"
Xu Zizai took out a box, and then placed the green heart into it. Luckily, it was rather small, otherwise there wouldn't be any place to put it.
"Originally, their goal was to take human form, so naturally there are some. This is the source of their power, let me use it to help master refine pills!" Do you want it? "
He had already put them into his bag. Only then did he remember to ask if he wanted them. There wasn't even the slightest bit of sincerity in asking if he wanted them.
I rolled my eyes at him. I don't know why I suddenly relaxed, but when my body turned cold, I felt that my outer clothes had already been torn apart.
He felt both cold and awkward.
"Where's my backpack?"
Xu Zizai seemed to hold a grudge as he smiled deliberately, "How would I know? You don't even know where your backpack is?"
I was so angered by his attitude that I could only search around by myself. Logically speaking, it should be in this position. I didn't leave at all. The ones that were separated were Xu Zizai and Xiao Hong.
Due to my narrow field of vision, I had to fumble around for a long time before I found it. After randomly finding a new set of clothes to wrap myself in, I thought of asking the previous question.
"Why did you guys suddenly return after leaving?"
Xiao Hong wiped her dagger as she replied, "At that time, we saw you being taken away, and this person just took his bag and left like that. Didn't I want his life back then? Naturally, we had to follow them. But who would have thought that it would actually be a scam?
"Can you talk less? Don't you feel that your current appearance and yours are a little different?"
Xu Zizai immediately interrupted Xiao Hong, but I still felt a little awkward. I also felt a little narcissistic, so I could only force a smile and say some words of thanks.
"Let's, go out and find Feng Ming and the others! I was afraid something might happen to them. "
No one objected to this suggestion. Without the monster in the cave, there were no obstructions. In less than fifteen minutes, we walked out of the pond. The water inside the pond seemed extremely clear, and we could directly see the fish swimming around inside.
However, after experiencing all that had happened, he would no longer be bewitched by the tranquility on the surface and would appear to be extremely careful and prudent in every aspect.
It was already starting to get dark and it was not realistic for us to find someone. We had to find a place to start a fire and then continue our journey the next day.
However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. Not long after the fire started, strange sounds of musical instruments could be heard from afar. Although no one could tell which musical instrument it was, the sadness was still very clear.
I was about to raise my head to ask Xu Zizai if he had heard when I saw the white shadow on the tree behind him.
It was a person tilting his head and looking over. His pale face looked especially frightening under the firelight. His long hair covered her clothes, but his eyelids didn't move at all.
After they looked at each other for a second, I abruptly lowered my head. My palms were full of sweat, and I didn't know if I should say it or not.
While I was conflicted over this matter, a rock fell beside my feet. This time, I didn't dare to raise my head abruptly. I only raised it carefully a little.
I saw Xu Zizai's face, that was about to laugh or not laugh, give me a finger that I didn't want to speak with. I instantly understood that he could feel it, but he just didn't say it out loud.
