The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Not only was Qiu Yinong curious about the things Xiao Han dropped on the road, but even Ye Qi, who had once covered for Xiao Han, was also curious.

At the time, Xiao Han had only whispered to her, asking her to help distract everyone so he could set a small trap. Although she was confused at the time, out of trust, she did as he said without asking any questions.

Seeing that everyone looked confused, Xiao Han took out a few rock-like objects from his storage bag and handed them to them.

"Put some pressure on it."

Then three shrill chirps were heard by the lake. Although short, they were enough to scare unsuspecting and sneaky people and animals.

Xiao Han smiled and said, "This is a little gadget I made that has a warning function. It costs ten spirit stones each and is very cheap. Watch the distance and throw a few of them on a path that must be passed. It will definitely trigger a person or a monster weighing more than ten kilograms.

Because it looks like a piece of stone and has no spiritual energy fluctuations, people and animals who are sensitive to spiritual energy fluctuations will not pay attention to it, so sometimes it is easy to fall into its trap."

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, could it be that you've long suspected something was wrong with that family of three, and that's why you set up this little trap?"

He Yanling suddenly asked. He felt ashamed and angry when he thought about what happened yesterday, because he was the first one to talk to them in the inn and was the first one to rush to leave with the group.

Although Xiao Han and the others did not object, he was always the one who took the lead.

If it weren't for these little gadgets in their hands that gave us advance warning, the four of us would have been killed all at once.

"Is there something wrong with that family of three?" Xiao Han asked back.

She truly had no idea that the family of three was in trouble. She had dropped a small warning artifact along the path they had taken, primarily to prevent someone from following them and robbing them, something she and her group hadn't been aware of. After all, this route was someone else's, meaning it was a well-known one, meaning their resting place wasn't at all secluded or safe.

If she expressed her doubts, she was afraid that others would laugh at her for being timid. After all, there were seven people in her group.

The path they were walking on was where the grass was the sparsest and lowest. She dropped four or five of them according to certain rules and distances. Anyone who passed by would definitely step on one.

If everything is fine, she can come and collect it tomorrow morning.

As for the subsequent behavior of the old monk and his family, she didn't see it at all because she ran the fastest.

It's not that she didn't want to stay and fight side by side, but under the circumstances of being surrounded at that time, running away was definitely the best strategy, and breaking through the encirclement was the most correct one.

Moreover, she had given the warning in advance, and the encirclement had not yet closed. Since the other three people had more combat experience and higher cultivation than her, her not being a drag was the greatest help.

He Yanling told the old monk about throwing talismans into the cave and how his two children ran to the side of the besiegers and no one attacked them.

Finally, he regretted, "It was because I was too careless that I fell into the trap set by these three people."

Xiao Han smiled bitterly, "Those three are really good actors, and they are outnumbered by us, with two of them being much weaker in cultivation. There's really no reason for us to doubt them."

Ye Qi and Qiu Yinong also sighed, saying that they had no doubt that the three men were part of the robbery group.

After they escaped last night, they reviewed the whole incident and found that none of the three of them had any suspicion at all.

Then everyone agreed that Xiao Han was very smart and had seen the clues long ago, so he set up a small trap. He was also the most vigilant and was the first to run out of the cave.

I just found out today that she had accidentally broken the encirclement of the robbers.

But no matter what, they have to thank Xiao Han, otherwise they would have died last night.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, please sell me some of this small warning device." Qiu Yinong said, holding up the rock in his hand.

"I also want."

“I’ll buy some too.”

The other two people immediately started scrambling for it. This little thing was so cheap and had miraculous effects, they had to buy some and keep it with them.

Xiao Han immediately smiled and said, "Yes, we have them all. How much do you want?"

In the end, the three of them each bought twenty. After all, this thing wasn't disposable, so if they bought twenty, they could just spread a few more around the next time they encountered a situation like last night. There was always a chance that a few more would work.

After talking about what happened last night, the four of them started discussing their next itinerary.

Should they return to Xingyao City and continue looking for a reliable caravan, or should the four of them just follow the directions on the map?

If it weren't for what happened last night, none of the four would have considered finding a way to get there directly.

But after what happened last night, everyone was still frightened and no longer dared to trust anyone, including the caravan.

Therefore, Ye Qi and the other two had discussed the subsequent itinerary last night, and they all preferred to go alone.

After all, the three of them used to be hunters, and they often dealt with monsters and beasts, and they felt that monsters were not as scary as humans.

As for encountering monsters above level four on the road, we can only say that it is their fate.

Seeing that the three of them were inclined to leave directly, Xiao Han did not raise any objections.

No one is afraid of death, so what is there for her to be afraid of as she is a person from another world who has ventured into the world of immortal cultivation alone?

So, everyone took out the map again, determined the direction, and started to use the lightness talisman to hurry on their way.

However, they weren't really just running away recklessly. Ye Qi and the other two had extensive hunting experience. They knew how to find and kill monsters.

Now the question is how to avoid and hide from the monsters.

It’s amazing that by the time the sun was setting, the day’s journey had been truly uneventful.

The four of them began looking for a place to stay.

This time, they chose a towering tree as their base.

This tree is more than a hundred meters high, and the diameter of the trees below is about two meters.

It is natural that there will be bird nests on such a big tree, and perhaps there are also evil birds building nests on it.

However, among the demon birds, the ones that can pose a threat to them are generally raptors such as hawks, falcons, eagles, and rocs, but these usually build their nests on cliffs.

Although there are many bird nests on this big tree, there are no particularly large ones.

The few of them did not climb very high, but just stopped to rest on a large tree branch more than ten meters below.

After all, this place allows you to observe the surrounding situation from a high vantage point, and you can jump down and run away at any time. It is actually much more convenient than a cave.
