Hide in the world of gods and demons

Chapter 93 The Journey (Part 1)
Chen Li smiled helplessly: "Don't exaggerate. Monsters aren't that easy to kill!"

'Wow, this guy is amazing!'

Zhang Shuniang blinked at Chen Li, then glanced cautiously at Zhang Yan beside her, and obediently shut her mouth, not saying anything more, afraid of saying something wrong and displeasing her father.

"Why are you looking at me?" Zhang Yan felt Zhang Shuniang's gaze. No one knows a daughter better than her father, and his face darkened.

Am I such a petty person?
Finally, one of the monsters lost patience and began to hunt.

Unfortunately, the monster completely miscalculated this time.

Although demonic beasts are hundreds of times stronger than the most ferocious wild animals, cultivators are not herbivores that scatter at the first sign of danger.

Moreover, the vast majority of cultivators here are at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, making them elites among rogue cultivators.

Immediately, dozens of attacks struck the charging monster.

There was absolutely no suspense.

The monster was beaten to a bloody pulp and didn't even have time to struggle in its death throes.

It was a death sentence.

The remaining two demonic beasts, seeing this, were immediately terrified and fled.

The monster's corpse was not wasted at all; it was quickly dismembered and its flesh extracted by the scattered cultivators behind it. In no time, the enormous monster had been reduced to a pile of bones. Throughout this entire migration, the caravan never stopped.

They continued like this until noon, when a cultivator from the Yu family gave the order to rest for a short while.

This is deep in the jungle, where all sorts of strange plants intertwine and entwine.

Giant trees, some so large that it would take several people to encircle them, are everywhere here. Thick layers of fallen leaves are piled up together, turning black from the erosion of time, and a rotten smell is slowly emanating from them.

Above the sky, the broad canopy of the trees spread out in all directions, adding an endless umbrella to the entire jungle.

Although it was midday and the sun was high in the sky, there was hardly any light here. The layers of branches and leaves stubbornly refused the sunlight, making the entire jungle appear even darker and more eerie...

Chen Li pulled Zhou Hong to sit down under a big tree.

He took out the dried meat and water from the storage bag and handed them over.

"Are you tired?" Chen Li asked.

Zhou Hong reached out to brush the fallen leaves off him and said with a smile, "You've only been walking for half a day, how could you be tired? Don't think of me as so frail. I used to brave wind and rain."

The meat of a second-tier demon beast, when made into jerky, is extremely hard and must be torn into small pieces before eating.

They ate a simple meal with water.

The team set off again.

Only after embarking on the migration journey did Chen Li realize how difficult it was for independent cultivators to leave Green River Village.

On the one hand, there is hardly any decent road here.

There were only forest paths. If it weren't for the signs of human intervention in some areas, he would have thought it was an animal trail; in fact, there wasn't much difference.

Actually, the path is fairly easy to walk on flat ground. In the forest, the trees are tall, and walking under the trees, although it's a bit chilly and you don't see much sunlight, at least the path is level.
The most difficult part was the mountain road, which was rugged and steep. The dozen or so camels ahead of us often slipped, greatly slowing down our journey.

On the other hand, there are dangers on the road.

By the afternoon, the group was attacked twice more, both times by monsters along the way. The group was so large that it made quite a commotion, causing ordinary wild animals to avoid them and attracting a great deal of attention from the surrounding monsters.

This time, things didn't go as smoothly as in the morning; three unfortunate cultivators died.

An ordinary Qi Refining cultivator wanted to leave Green River Workshop on his own.

It's a gamble with your life.

……

Night falls.

After a brief rest and replenishment of food and water, the team set off again overnight.

In such a remote and desolate place, staying overnight is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing. In comparison, traveling overnight is relatively safer.

The night is getting darker.

The roars of various beasts echoed throughout the forest.

The group was no longer as active as it had been during the day; almost no one was talking, and everyone was focused on their journey. Chen Li flicked away a flying insect with his finger and glanced at Zhang Shuniang, who had been silently persevering since dawn.

"How many days does it usually take to get to Luanluo City?" Chen Li asked Yu Fanzhen.

That's right.

The place we're going to this time is Luanluo City, the only cultivation city in the Changsheng Domain.

The Yu family originally came from Luanluo City; this was simply a return.

"It took us more than ten days to get here!" Yu Fanzhen thought for a moment and said, "Of course, it's impossible to keep walking day and night, otherwise people would be exhausted. Usually, we walk for two days and two nights, and then rest for a day."

Chen Li was taken aback.

He remembered that the straight-line distance between Luanluo City and Luhefang was only about five hundred li...

"Not good! A large number of vampire bats are approaching! Everyone be on guard!" At this moment, the patriarch of the Yu family shouted loudly, his voice as powerful as thunder.

Yu Fanzhen's expression changed, and he quickly took out his magic weapon, saying rapidly, "Don't get bitten, or people will go crazy."

Upon hearing this, the crowd stirred and immediately became alert.

Chen Li drew his sword and said to Zhou Hong, "Be careful."

"Okay, you be careful too." Zhou Hong took a deep breath, preparing for battle.

Soon, a faint sound came from the distant sky.

At first, it seemed to exist but not exist.

But in the blink of an eye, the entire sky began to buzz, as if countless wings were flapping. Under the cover of night, the distant forest seemed to grow even darker, as if shrouded in a black cloth.

It's getting closer and closer.

The Yu family patriarch immediately unleashed a palm strike, channeling his magical power.

A loud "thud!"

It's unknown how many vampire bats they killed.

The patriarch of the Yu family slapped his palm repeatedly, each strike resembling a powerful spell.

The darkness ahead faded, and the vampire bats were startled and scattered in all directions, but some still rushed towards the crowd without hesitation.

Chen Li flashed his sword several times in succession.

They split the evil bats in two.

In fact, these evil bats are not large, each only the size of a fist, and their flight speed is not very fast, but with their astonishing numbers, they are many times more dangerous than ordinary monsters.

"what!"

Someone has been infected.

Suddenly, the man's expression turned crazed, and he began drooling, as if he had completely lost his mind. He rushed towards the evil bats in the distance without regard for anything else. As he ran, a large number of evil bats flew down from mid-air and attached themselves to him. More and more of them appeared, and soon they completely enveloped his body.

Chen Li hesitated for a long time, but finally began to chant the incantation.

next moment.

A thin bolt of lightning instantly struck the rogue cultivator who was almost completely enveloped in the evil bats.

Suddenly, a bright light appeared ahead.

"Snapped!"

An electric arc flashed and leaped.

Countless evil bats fell to the ground, emitting wisps of blue smoke, revealing corpses that had been nearly drained of their life force.

People in the crowd fell victim to the virus and died from being sucked dry.

Chen Li could repeat the same method on nearby targets, but he couldn't do it on distant ones.

A few minutes later, the evil bats completely retreated, and a total of more than a dozen people died, including a member of the Yu family. However, Chen Li did not use the Palm Thunder to finish off this member of the Yu family; instead, the Yu family patriarch dealt with him personally.

P.S.: There will be another chapter tonight.
