Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

As Eagle Nine Claws and his group entered, the once quiet valley suddenly became lively.

In particular, as soon as Eagle Nine Claws entered the valley, he discovered the footprints left by the girl and her group.

Of course, he also discovered Chu Yunfan's footprints.

After a moment's thought, Eagle Nine Claws led his men and followed Chu Yunfan's route.

After all, he didn't know the background of the group on the left, and it wouldn't be wise to follow them rashly.

On the right, there was only Chu Yunfan, who was obviously much easier to deal with.

The key point is that Chu Yunfan is carrying a lot of treasures, so it's naturally more worthwhile to pursue him.

Of course, just to be on the safe side, Eagle Nine Claws still sent one person to advance along the left side to gather information.

Along the way, Eagle Nine Claws looked at the traces of picking on the ground and felt a little itchy.

"No one would waste time picking ordinary flowers and grasses on the ground."

The spiritual energy in this valley is so abundant, could it be that some kind of spiritual herb has grown there?

Thinking of this, Eagle Nine Claws became even more eager to find Chu Yunfan, so he ordered his men to speed up their advance.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before they spotted Chu Yunfan's back.

With so many people like Ying Jiuzhao and his group, and with Chu Yunfan constantly keeping an eye on whether anyone was chasing them, he immediately discovered their whereabouts.

"This is bad, there are so many people!"

Seeing Eagle Nine Claws' team of about thirty people, Chu Yunfan immediately abandoned the idea of ​​fighting head-on.

Moreover, on the surface, Chu Yunfan pretended not to have noticed the other party and continued to move forward at a leisurely pace, picking the spiritual herbs on the ground.

In reality, Chu Yunfan was secretly releasing poison.

Upon seeing Chu Yunfan's back, Ying Jiuzhao and the others immediately became excited and sped up to chase after him.

However, just as they were about to catch up with Chu Yunfan, Chu Yunfan suddenly accelerated and ran forward.

Seeing this, Eagle Nine Claws was about to give chase, but just then, one of his underlings suddenly shouted excitedly.

"Boss, look! What's on the ground looks like blood-red flowers!"

Blood Red Flower is a first-tier spiritual medicine that can replenish blood and qi in a timely manner for injured people, accelerate physical recovery, and is especially effective for those who have suffered serious injuries due to excessive blood loss.

Therefore, upon hearing this person's shout, Eagle Nine Claws immediately looked down at the ground.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that what was growing on the ground in front of him was indeed a blood-red flower.

Upon seeing this, Eagle Nine Claws immediately ordered his men to pick the blood-red flowers.

A moment later, the blood-red flower was handed to Eagle Nine Claws.

Upon seeing the crimson flower in his hand, Eagle Nine Claws momentarily forgot that spiritual herbs are usually guarded by demonic beasts.

Fortunately, there were no monsters here, otherwise the person who picked the fruit would have been in trouble.

At this moment, Eagle Nine Claws suddenly realized something.

"No wonder that kid was dawdling as he walked; there really is a miraculous herb here!"

Thinking of this, Eagle Nine Claws immediately split the man's hand in two.

Half of the group searched for medicinal herbs nearby, while he led the other half to continue their pursuit of Chu Yunfan.

"This kid has more and more treasures on him, hehe!"

Eagle Nine Claws looked in the direction Chu Yunfan had fled, a greedy and cruel smile appearing in its single remaining eye.

However, Eagle Nine Claws did not notice that the blood-red flower he held in his hand was silently emitting a unique scent.

In fact, this blood-red flower was deliberately left behind by Chu Yunfan, and it was sprinkled with colorless and odorless poison.

The purpose was to lure the eagle with its nine claws into the trap.

Moreover, just as Chu Yunfan discovered Ying Jiuzhao and his group, he secretly began to plant poison on the road.

Therefore, Chu Yunfan did not continue to run away at this time, but hid in the crevice of the mountain wall in front of him, waiting for Ying Jiuzhao and the others to be poisoned.

Sure enough, not long after, the person who had picked the blood-red flower suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed to the ground.

The reason is simple: he not only inhaled the smell of poison on the ground, but also touched the blood-red flower, so he was the most deeply poisoned and the poison took effect the fastest.

Besides that, there's the Eagle Nine Claws, but the Eagle Nine Claws are even more powerful, so they're slower to activate.

However, just after that person fell to the ground, and as Eagle Nine Claws was about to order his men to investigate the situation, he suddenly felt dizzy.

He immediately realized that he and his companions had been ambushed.

However, before he could react, a crossbow bolt flew out from the shadows and shot straight at Eagle Nine Claw's forehead.

However, one of the men next to Eagle Nine Claws reacted quickly and blocked the crossbow bolt with a shield.

Immediately afterwards, several people rushed forward and stood in front of Eagle Nine Claws, their eyes scanning the surroundings, trying to find the person who had launched the sneak attack.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan, who was hiding in the shadows, sighed silently.

Based on his previous observations, he found that Eagle Nine Claws posed the greatest threat to him, so he planned to kill the leader first, just like he had done with Ma Dadan and the others.

Unfortunately, his idea failed.

Therefore, Chu Yunfan did not continue to act to avoid revealing his position, and planned to make his move after Ying Jiuzhao and the others had all taken effect from the poison.

However, Chu Yunfan's inaction did not mean that the enemy would not move. Eagle Nine Claws quickly sent out several people to investigate the direction from which the arrow had been shot.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan knew he could no longer hide, so he simply held the crossbow in both hands and fired at the group as they approached.

However, these people's reaction speed was obviously not as fast as the person who had protected Eagle Nine Claws. Moreover, they were close to Chu Yunfan, so even though they had shields to protect them, they didn't have time to react and were all blown off their heads by Chu Yunfan.

In the blink of an eye, four corpses appeared on the ground.

Seeing that things were not going well, Eagle Nine Claws' face turned cold, and he immediately ordered the fastest-reacting person to go and investigate.

The man held up a shield, covering his entire body, leaving only his gleaming eyes fixed on the direction from which the arrow had been shot.

One step, two steps, three steps...

The man slowly approached Chu Yunfan.

Suddenly, an arrow shot out, heading straight for the man's forehead.

Just as the arrow was released, a glint flashed in the man's eyes, and he swiftly raised his shield, blocking the arrow from reaching his head.

With a "clang," the arrow struck the shield and fell to the ground.

However, just as this man raised his shield, two more arrows were fired at the same time.

However, the two arrows were no longer aimed at the man's forehead, but at his feet.

This time, the man was truly focused on the immediate situation and disregarded the consequences. Although he managed to block the arrow aimed at his brow, both of his feet were accurately struck by the arrows.

Immediately, the man let out a cry of pain and fell to the ground.

However, before Chu Yunfan could even feel happy, several people from Eagle Nine Claws suddenly produced crossbows and began firing rapidly at his location.

It turned out that Eagle Nine Claws had accurately determined Chu Yunfan's location based on the arrows he had just shot.
