Chapter 232: Danger! A Fox-Headed Monster With a Human Body
“Ah!”
A blood-curdling scream could be heard floating above the forest.
A disciple of the Moyu Tower was running quickly in the forest. His figure was in a sorry state, and his face was covered in blood. He looked terrified, as if he had seen a monster. He would turn around from time to time, and it could be said that he was extremely frightened.
He panted heavily. “I need to find Eldest Senior Brother and the others as soon as possible –”
A shadow followed him like a ghost.
The next second.
Intense pain came from his chest. He lowered his head, and his sharp claws pierced through his entire chest. Blood was oozing out of the huge hole.
The owner of the sharp claws was holding a beating heart in his hand.
After seeing who was behind him, he widened his eyes in disbelief. “It’s you! Why…”
Before he could finish his sentence, his neck was broken by the person.
The scene in front of him looked particularly bloody. There were broken limbs everywhere, and blood was everywhere. It looked like a fierce battle had taken place.
The fox-headed monster with a human body walked among them. In addition to the surrounding environment, it was filled with blood and weirdness.
“The flesh and blood of a cultivator is indeed the best nourishment.”
......
The strange laughter suddenly sounded and drifted deep into the forest. Then, a distorted male voice sounded. It was filled with resentment and sounded particularly eerie.
This monster with a fox head and a human body actually had two souls. If Gu Xi and the others were here, they would definitely find this voice extremely familiar.
“Your injuries should have almost recovered. When can you avenge me?”
“I really didn’t misjudge you. You’re so cold-blooded and cruel. You can even kill your fellow disciples. I’ve already recovered more than half of my strength. I can help you now.”
The cold wind blew past, dispersing the smell of blood in the air. The fox-beastman monster also disappeared into the depths of the forest.
On the other side.
Gu Xi and the others still had no idea what was going on here.
It was unknown when, but a layer of faint fog had appeared in the forest, making it even more difficult for them to find their way. Even the message they sent out was like a stone sinking into the ocean, without any response from the disciples.
“The fog came suddenly and strangely. Everyone, be careful.”
Everyone moved hand in hand. They had already lost their way. If they got lost in the fog, they would definitely be in danger if they were alone.
They could still vaguely see the outlines of the surrounding trees. As the fog became thicker, their vision became limited to a small area. They groped their way forward, worried about the attack of the demon beasts.
“How is it? Have the other Senior Brothers responded?”
Seeing Li Junyan shake his head, Fang Qinyu could not help but feel a little depressed. “Could it be that they are lost in the Phantom Forest Too?”
Gu Xi had a bad premonition.
Pitter patter!
Not far away, there were hurried footsteps, as if some creature was rushing in their direction. Gu Xi warned, “Something is approaching us.”
Li Junyan also smelled the smell of blood in the air. His face was a little ugly. He held the hilt of his sword and was ready to attack.
Suddenly, a cold light appeared. Just as he was about to stab in the direction of the sound, he suddenly heard a hoarse male voice.
“Senior Brother Li, it’s me!”
Li Junyan’s sword tip curved in time and landed on the tree trunk next to him. With a muffled crash, countless fallen leaves floated down.
After seeing who it was, everyone could not help but be shocked. “Junior Brother Zhou, what happened?”
Zhou Haozhe’s clothes were tattered and covered in blood. The dark red blood stains had dried up, and his entire person was in a sorry state. His pale face seemed as if he had just experienced a fierce battle.
“It’s great to see all of you!”
As if seeing his savior, Zhou Haozhe suddenly grabbed Li Junyan and said with a choked voice,
“Eldest Senior Brother, we were attacked by the Fox Demon and almost all of us were wiped out. I was the only one who escaped. You must avenge me!”
Gu Xi stared at the person in front of him and felt an indescribable strangeness in his heart. He used her spiritual sense to talk to him and surprisingly found two different auras coming from Zhou Haozhe’s body.
Although his body was covered in blood and looked like he was seriously injured, and there was even a dark red spot at the corner of his mouth, the blood did not seem to be his own, but rather…
Gu Xi was shocked and quickly reminded him, “Be careful!”
Zhou Haozhe’s speed was even faster, and in addition, Li Junyan had no defense against him at all. His sharp claws suddenly stretched out aiming for where the heart was located.
When Li Junyan heard Gu Xi’s reminder, his body subconsciously tilted to the side, and he dodged the fatal blow. The spot where the heart was originally was pierced. He sustained an injury on his shoulder instead.
At the same time, Li Junyan also struck out with his palm.
Zhou Haozhe’s body flew out like a kite with a broken string.
“Eldest Senior Brother, are you alright?”
Zhao Teng held onto Li Junyan.
The wound on his shoulder had already revealed a ghastly white bone. Fresh blood was flowing out. This mark was obviously not something that a human could create. Instead, it looked like a demon beast.
Li Junyan’s face was pale as he shook his head. It was clear that he had suffered quite a serious injury.
He originally thought that the monster should be dead. He did not expect that after twitching a few times, he would actually slowly stand up.
For a moment, everyone felt their hair stand on end. Li Junyan sternly asked, “Who are you! Why did you disguise yourself as Junior Brother Zhou to deceive us?”
“Eldest Senior Brother, you don’t even know me anymore. At least we’ve lived together for so long. This is making me too sad.”
Zhou Haozhe slowly walked into the crowd. Li Junyan had used his full strength in that palm strike just now, but now he actually looked like he was fine.
Hearing this, Zhao Teng and Fang Qinyu’s faces were pale. “This, this is Senior Brother Zhou…”
