Chapter 80: The Sneaky Pounce
Chapter 80: The Sneaky Pounce
Chen Fei couldn’t help but have a smile on his face, but instead of resting, Chen Fei returned back to the middle of his quarters and began to cultivate on his knees.
Today’s homework for internal energy cultivation had not been done, and the proficiency of the second level of Tong Yuan Gong had not been brushed, Chen Fei had no intention of resting, and today was destined to be a night of staying up all night.
Early the next morning, the medicine pickers began to continue working up, and the various disciples scattered and supervised the medicine pickers.
Nothing else happened in the morning, and the medicinal herbs within the compound had already been loaded onto the wagons. The medicinal herbs were all freshly picked, and it was best to send them back in time to be processed within Immortal Cloud City.
The Immortal Cloud Sword Sect couldn’t see other sects refining pills, thus the requirements for the herbs were stricter. So transporting medicinal herbs every day was an essential thing.
“Uncle Qian, it’s all ready.” Guo Linsan walked up to Qian Lindu and whispered.
“Well, you stay here and just have a few disciples at the Marrow Training Realm join me.” Qian Lindu nodded.
Yesterday, Qian Lindu went to a few other sects and asked, not all of them had suffered an attack, only Beidou Lou had an encounter with them.
Beidou Lou because of their gong methods, all of them were more hot-tempered and impatient, and only those who had practiced to a high level of proficiency were able to reconcile back.
Therefore, the Beidou Lou side has begun to search for people with great fanfare at this moment, must dig out those who attacked. After this, perhaps there won’t be any more Divine Flame Sect people coming today.
In less than tea time, the caravan packed up and started to depart, Qian Lindu dressed up as an ordinary disciple and followed the caravan forward.
The other people in the compound remained the same as usual. An hour later, a carrier pigeon flew in, and Guo Linsan took down the message on the pigeon’s feet.
“Senior brother Guo, how is the situation?” Several disciples couldn’t help but gather around.
“The caravan arrived at Immortal Cloud City without any problems, Senior Uncle Qian and the others didn’t encounter any attacks.” Guo Linsan looked up and said.
“That’s good.” A few disciples nodded, their moods were a bit complicated.
On one side, they hoped that this kind of attack would never happen again, after all, there was a possibility of casualties. But on the other hand, they hoped that the Divine Flame Sect’s people would continue to come, and that there was money for Lin Du to be there, and then perhaps they would be able to avenge the two disciples who lost their lives yesterday.
Chen Fei happened to be nearby and saw that Guo Linsan’s few people were calm, so nothing should have happened.
One day, two days, three days, in the blink of an eye, three days had passed, the collection mission was carried out in an orderly manner, at the same time, the caravan was not attacked again, everything seemed to return to normal.
Qian Lindu inquired with a few other sects, and they had not encountered any more attacks on their side either. It was as if what happened on the first day was just an attack by the Divine Flame Sect on a whim.
However, it was also true that the Divine Flame Sect often did things like this, and many of their attacks appeared to be without warning. Sometimes the situation was great, and whenever the others thought that the Divine Flame Sect would continue to ride the wave of victory, the Divine Flame Sect suddenly contracted all of a sudden.
Sometimes when it was clear that defeat was already in sight, the Divine Flame Faction was crazy as a head iron, constantly sending people to get killed, rather inexplicably.
Under the night, Chen Fei was cultivating with his knees crossed when suddenly, Chen Fei felt a coldness in his arm. Chen Fei opened his eyes and looked at his arm, the Bone Attachment was actually active.
Chen Fei stood up at once and looked around, there was nothing strange, and the Bone Gangrene was not very active. However, Chen Fei did not know much about this kind of weirdness, so it was better to report the situation.
“Senior brother Guo?” Chen Fei walked next to Guo Lingshan and called out in a low voice.
“What’s wrong?” Guo Linshan opened his eyes and looked at Chen Fei somewhat strangely.
“There might be a bizarre infestation nearby, should we alert Uncle Qian?”
“Creepy?” Guo Linshan stood up with some surprise.
Chen Fei nodded and extended his arm out, a light black mark could be seen on Chen Fei’s arm.
“This is Gangrene Poison?” Guo Linshan recognized it and finally saw the mark. “Yes, it was marked by a Creepy at first. Later on, I realized that this Gangrene Poison is sensitive to bizarre scents, so I kept a little bit of it on my body.” Chen Fei briefly described the reason.
“Junior Brother, then you’re very lucky ah, that creepy didn’t go after you later?” Guo Linshan was curious.
“No, that Creepy has a bigger target.” Chen Fei thought of Pingyin County and shook his head.
Guo Lingshan saw Chen Fei’s expression and did not pursue the question, after a moment of contemplation, he said, “Since you have a reaction to this Gangrene Poison, there should really be a bizarre infestation in the vicinity, but it should not be strong. For the safety of the compound, let’s take a trip, and if the weirdness is too strong, we’ll retreat back.”
Guo Linsan said, taking out a red candle from the package behind him, saying, “With this, even if we face the weirdness, we can still hold out for a while.”
“Senior brother, I also have it.” Chen Fei looked at the red candle and also took one out of his sleeve.
“Haha, then this is nothing to be afraid of.” Guo Linshan couldn’t help but laugh.
Chen Fei nodded and started searching based on the intensity of the Possessed Bone’s reaction.
The Bone Possessing Gangrene’s reaction was indeed not strong, and it was much weaker compared to the previous times Chen Fei had encountered the weirdness. It was also because of this that Chen Fei did not object to actively searching for it.
As the two walked and stopped, the weirdness seemed to be moving as well, and soon, the two actually walked out a distance of nearly ten miles.
“There can be no need to chase, that weirdness is either passing by, or someone is controlling it. And at this distance, it’s hard to threaten our compound.”
Guo Linsan stopped, the bizarre does not necessarily need to be fought and killed, as long as it does not threaten them.
Chen Fei nodded, just about to speak, but stopped all of a sudden, his ears moved slightly, a trace if any of the sound of talking, came from the distance.
Chen Fei turned his head to look at Guo Linsan, who apparently also heard the sound of talking.
“Senior brother, is that the temporary quarters of any sect over there?”
“No, that side is backed by the shade, it’s not where the medicinal herbs are growing this time, no sect is stationed there.” Guo Linshan shook his head and said.
“Then is it possible that it’s that Divine Flame Sect?” Chen Fei suddenly said.
Guo Linshan’s eyes lit up at once, this possibility was extremely high. However, if he wanted to be sure, he would have to follow up and confirm it.
“Junior Brother, your cultivation is insufficient, go back to find Uncle Qian first and ask Uncle Qian to bring someone over.” Guo Linshan looked into the distance and said in a deep voice.
“Senior brother Guo, you want to go up alone to check? It’s too dangerous!” Chen Fei couldn’t help but dissuade him.
“It’s fine, I’m just watching from afar, I won’t get into danger.” Guo Lingshan smiled and said, “It’s always important to know something, otherwise it’s even more dangerous if you don’t know anything when Uncle Qian and the others come later.”
Chen Fei’s mouth opened for a moment and finally nodded, this was the most appropriate way.
Chen Fei didn’t dare to delay and hurried back along the way he came. The sooner he rushed back to call the people over now, the lower the danger for Guo Linsan would be.
Chen Fei’s feet were like the wind, and he had just run a few miles when his face suddenly changed. The Bone Attachment that was in a quiet state was actually active again at this moment, and there was another creepy one nearby.
And the imprint was becoming more and more active, that bizarre, was lunging towards Chen Fei’s position.
