The real purpose

Xiao Feng's face was full of tension as he spoke directly to the person beside him.

"This Stone Man is probably the guardian god of this Huangshi Forest. With our strength, it's impossible to be his opponent!"

As soon as he said this, Bing Rouqiao also agreed.

"How about we retreat?"

Xiao Feng directly shook his head and refused.

"Why retreat? Those Demon Clan guys have already rushed in!"

Seeing Xiao Feng's stubborn look, Mo Ruyu, who was beside him, couldn't help but frown and speak.

"My strength is the strongest, but even I am not this Stone Man's opponent. What are you still bragging about?"

Xiao Feng shook his head.

"Speed!"

"This Stone Man is very slow. We can just go around him. And looking at this posture, I estimate he won't chase after us either!"

After saying this, Xiao Feng was the first to try. As expected, the Stone Man's speed really couldn't catch up to Xiao Feng. Soon, the Stone Man's target fell back onto Mo Ruyu and the others.

Seeing this situation, the few of them also followed suit and quickly escaped with ease.

Everyone looked back at the Stone Man with lingering fear, only to find that the Stone Man had actually cracked open in place and returned to its rolling stone appearance.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Feng completely relaxed.

"I thought it was so powerful, but it was just like this. Follow me!"

Bing Rouqiao was also full of admiration. She thought that the reason her Master and the others felt it was dangerous here was probably because her Master would choose to fully destroy this Stone Man.

But that didn't matter anymore, everyone had already gone around!

After a moment, the group arrived at the center of the Huangshi Forest. Just as Mo Ruyu was about to continue attacking, she was directly stopped by Xiao Feng.

"What are you doing? Aren't we going in?"

Mo Ruyu seemed to have not noticed the danger at all, and instead looked at the few of them with disdain.

Xiao Feng then spoke in a low voice.

"Look at the marks on the ground!"

The people around also gathered around.

"Did you see them? These should be the guys from the Demon Clan!"

Everyone present couldn't help but look serious. After all, they knew in their hearts that if these were really left by the Demon Clan.

Then there were at least dozens of people from the Demon Clan!

"There are too many people, how about we..."

Bing Rouqiao became increasingly nervous, while Xiao Feng continued to speak.

"Let's not rush. Let's slowly follow these tracks and see if we can find an opportunity to launch a surprise attack!"

Cultivators and the Demon Clan were originally irreconcilable enemies, so Xiao Feng naturally didn't want to put them in his eyes.

The people around could only silently nod their heads after hearing this. Soon, they continued to chase after the footprints on the ground.

After a moment, Xiao Feng led his people to catch up with the Demon Clan's team. At a rough glance, the number of people was at least fifty.

Looking at the few people behind him, Xiao Feng was really a bit depressed. If a fight really broke out, he was afraid that these few people wouldn't even be enough for those Demon Clan to eat.

After walking a few steps, Mo Ruyu spoke to Xiao Feng in a low voice.

"Look who is leading them?"

Xiao Feng focused his eyes and couldn't help but be shocked.

Because the person leading this team was actually the Demon Clan Holy Maiden, Li Cai'er!

He was already nervous enough, but now seeing that Li Cai'er had come out, Xiao Feng's heart was even more tense.

After all, this also meant that the strength of the surrounding Demon Clan guards was definitely not low.

"So, are we going to follow them now?"

Mo Ruyu knew how terrifying the Demon Clan Holy Maiden was and couldn't help but ask Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng also gritted his teeth. After an unknown amount of time, he finally spoke to the person in front of him.

"Of course we have to chase after them. Otherwise, wouldn't we be completely wasting this opportunity!"

This time, Xiao Feng was being sincere. After all, the treasures in the Huangshi Forest were something that every cultivator and member of the Demon Clan dreamed of.

"Keep chasing! Grab the treasure and run!"

After hearing this, the people around directly acquiesced, and Xiao Feng continued to lead them forward.

However, after only a few steps, Bing Rouqiao cautiously asked.

"Do you feel a little uncomfortable on your bodies?"

As soon as she said this, everyone stopped. Mo Ruyu also seemed to have temporarily put aside her previous grudges and spoke in a low voice.

"I always feel like there's something behind me staring at us, but I didn't find anything when I turned around a few times!"

The rest of the people also nodded their heads.

"I feel uncomfortable all over. This feeling is like when I was fighting against Master and he completely saw through me!"

Xiao Feng couldn't help but frown because he had the same feeling. At first, Xiao Feng thought it was the gaze of the person behind him, but now it seems that things are not that simple.

The few of them slowly stopped. Xiao Feng carefully examined himself for a while before realizing something was wrong.

There were tiny crawling insects on everyone's bodies that were difficult to detect with the naked eye. Seeing this scene, Xiao Feng couldn't help but gasp.

"It seems we have to stop for a bit!"

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but instinctively look at themselves, only to realize that they were already covered in insects.

Mo Ruyu was the first to scream, however, Xiao Feng timely covered her mouth.

"Don't worry, just take these things off!"

After saying this, Xiao Feng immediately took action, however, in the next second, he found that these crawling insects were attached very tightly to his body.

In addition, they were extremely small, and Xiao Feng was completely helpless against them. After struggling for a while, he didn't get many off, and instead, more crawled onto his body.

Mo Ruyu couldn't help but frown. After thinking for a while, she finally spoke to Xiao Feng.

"I think I've heard of this thing before. Its name is the Companion Insect. I heard that once you are entangled by this thing, unless you are burned by fire, it is impossible to escape the fate of being sucked dry by them!"

As soon as she said this, Xiao Feng couldn't help but frown and looked in the direction where the Demon Clan people had left.

"Why are those Demon Clan people fine?"

Xiao Feng asked in a low voice.

Everyone present shook their heads.

A wicked smile also appeared on the corner of Xiao Feng's mouth.

"Since you don't know, why not just go and ask them!"

Upon hearing this, the few of them showed confused expressions, while Xiao Feng continued to speak.

"These little insects can't cause us any harm for now. Tonight, I will go to their camp and try to capture a tongue. First, to ask about their purpose, and second, to solve the problem of the insects on our bodies!"

Bing Rouqiao's face was full of tension.

"If that's the case, what if you get discovered?"
