She actually mixed up with the demon monks!
The other party did not answer her question, but just circulated his inner energy and looked at her with lifeless eyes.
"Her condition is not normal," Shangguan Qing'er said in a deep voice, "Could it be that her mind is being controlled by a demon cultivator?"
The situation took a sharp turn for the worse. Being surrounded by seven enemies of high levels was not an optimistic situation.
"Hmph, you little devil," Liu Mei looked around and said coldly, "There are seven of them, one on one, we are not afraid at all!"
"As soon as you said that," Tang Xin's mouth twitched, "What about..."
The three righteous monks, who seemed to have suffered serious injuries, put down their defensive posture, walked over in unison, and formed a team with the evil monks.
The number of people became ten to four...
"These people were all controlled? Were they acting for us?" Shangguan Qing'er said with an unpleasant expression, "Fellow Daoist Tang, can you tell what method they used?"
"There are many ways for the devil to control the mind," Tang Xin shook his head, "insects, poisons, spells... Unless you subdue a person and conduct research, you can't tell just by looking!"
While speaking, Tang Xin had already activated the Spirit Eye Technique to observe the situation around him.
Thanks to her increased sensitivity, her observation ability was even stronger than usual, and she already had several solutions to the current problem in her mind.
"We can't fight," Tang Xin whispered to the others, "I don't know if there are any other demon cultivators lying in ambush nearby. Of the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best. The anti-poison pills are all on you, take them first, and then use the breath-holding technique to not inhale a single breath."
"What are you going to do?"
Shangguan Qing'er asked curiously.
"A common scene in escaping."
Tang Xin also took the detoxifying pill.
The anti-poison pills that I bought with points before cannot be wasted in a place like this.
"Seal the smoke!"
She took out a bunch of wooden boxes of different colors from her storage bag and showed her signature "sneer" on her face.
Sleeping smoke, but also with other effects.
As the saying goes, smoke protects against harm, so this thing is absolutely essential for retreat.
Who said that treasures with the word "sleeping" can only be used to do evil things...
"Get ready," she whispered, "three, two, one..."
bang bang bang-
"run!"
Chapter 64: Don’t buy weird things
In an instant, a large amount of thick smoke spread in the open space.
If this kind of sleeping smoke is used to attack secretly and released slowly, it is actually colorless and odorless, but there is obviously no such opportunity at the moment.
The other party was also a foundation-building cultivator. The moment the thick smoke appeared, he reacted and quickly covered his mouth and nose.
On the one hand, the thick smoke disturbed everyone's vision, and on the other hand, it made people panic. Several righteous cultivators who were controlled even fainted on the ground. Only the demonic cultivators reacted and rushed towards Tang Xin in the smoke.
Boom boom!
Several spells fell from the sky, and the opponent didn't care whether they could hit anyone or not. It seemed that they wanted to use their advantage in numbers and realm to launch an indiscriminate attack.
"careful!"
Tang Xin grabbed Zhou Yu who was closest to her, and placed her feet on a lotus platform, thus avoiding the first wave of attacks from the evil cultivators.
On the other side, Shangguan Qing'er teamed up with Liu Mei and unleashed the strength of the top cultivators of the Demon Slaying League to block the spell.
Being blocked like this, the formation of the four-man team was immediately dispersed, and the demon cultivators stood in the middle, locking their auras to both sides.
Right now, if they want to reunite, they can only confront the evil cultivators head-on.
"Let's split up into two groups," Shangguan Qing'er shouted from the other side, "Gather at the agreed location!"
Tang Xin glanced at the situation on the field and nodded.
"it is good!"
Rather than fighting head-on and being delayed by the enemy, it is a better option to retreat separately and meet up in the swamp.
The few of them had been together for some time and had more or less a tacit understanding. At the same time, they cast various spells at the demon cultivators in the middle.
boom--
The attack didn't cause much damage, but it was enough to buy them time to turn around and retreat.
Zhou Yu looked towards Shangguan Qing'er with some worry in his eyes, but when he thought of his own strength, he shook his head and quickened his pace.
In the thick smoke, Tang Xin, who possessed the Spirit Eye Technique and the Seven Lotus Steps, had a much greater advantage than the others. After chasing for a while, the evil cultivators gradually disappeared.
They did not dare to relax and only stopped to catch their breath when they were sure that no one would catch up with them.
"The entire team has been controlled," Tang Xin said while panting, "The situation of the monks who entered the mountain is probably not optimistic..."
"Will Senior Sister Shangguan be in danger?"
Zhou Yu looked in very bad condition, panting and looking pale.
"It should be fine. Both she and Liu Mei are very strong, so retreating shouldn't be a problem."
she explained.
"That's good……"
Zhou Yu forced a smile.
Then, he fell to the ground...
Even though he had taken a detoxifying pill in advance and held his breath, the sleeping smoke still took some effect.
People like Tang Xin, Shangguan Qing'er, etc., who are at a higher level, can still withstand it, but Zhou Yu, who is at the lowest level, cannot avoid being hit.
"When I bought the sleeping cigarette, I didn't intend to use it on my teammates..."
Tang Xin had no choice but to carry her aside and rest herself.
The sleeping cigarette made her head feel a little dizzy.
Realizing this, she quickly sat cross-legged and meditated, circulating her true energy to speed up the consumption of substances in her body.
Beside him, Zhou Yu had completely fallen asleep...
……
Zhou Yu's consciousness was hazy under the guidance of the sleeping smoke.
After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly "woken up" as if some voice was calling her.
No, this isn't being awake, it's like... a dream?
She found herself back in Qingxin Pavilion, back in the hilltop where Senior Sister Shangguan lived and practiced. Everything before her was extremely familiar.
As the "direct disciple's assistant", Zhou Yu's work content is very complicated, from cleaning the yard, washing clothes, watering the flowers and planting grass to running errands for his senior sisters and communicating with the elders. As long as it is required by the direct disciple, it must be completed.
Zhou Yu didn't feel tired. He was very lucky to have a senior sister who treated him well. Asking for more would be greedy.
"Junior Sister Zhou Yu," Senior Sister Shangguan came out of the house and said to her, "Come and help me. I am conducting a new research."
"Any good news?"
Seeing the irrepressible smile on Senior Sister Shangguan's face, Zhou Yu couldn't help but ask.
"Yes," the senior sister nodded gently, "If the research is successful, my realm can be further improved...but now I really need your help."
Senior sister needs me?
This was the first time she had said this before.
She felt a feeling called "happiness" in her heart.
Zhou Yu entered the wooden house without thinking.
thump—
The wooden door closed, a faint light emerged, and an unusual atmosphere filled the room.
"Sister, how can I help you?"
Zhou Yu asked with a smile.
"Well," Shangguan Yu'er couldn't suppress the smile on her face any more, and said with a smile, "It's very simple...Give me your talent?"
"what?"
She didn't quite understand what the other person meant for a moment.
"Give me your talent," Shangguan Qing'er laughed. "Xiao Yu'er, you've been hiding it for so long that I didn't discover your special physique until recently... You even hid it from your most trusted senior sister? Isn't that a bit ungrateful?"
"I," Zhou Yu said with a troubled look on his face, "I didn't mean to hide it from Senior Sister..."
"But you hid it!" Shangguan Qing'er turned and said sternly, "You are such a good person, Zhou Yu. I usually treat you well, right? Although you are just a useless tool in my eyes, I rarely bully or insult you... and you actually hid such an important thing from me!"
"No, no, Senior Sister," Zhou Yu explained anxiously, "I respect you very much, and I have always wanted to repay your kindness..."
"That's perfect," Shangguan Qing'er said, "I have recently practiced a new secret technique, and your special physique can be used by me. Since you respect me so much, just offer it to me... In this way, you can at least be upgraded to a 'useful' tool in my eyes."
"tool?"
Zhou Yu said in a dry voice.
"What else? Do you still have any unrealistic fantasies?" A white light appeared in Shangguan Qing'er's palm. "Let me take away your physique, otherwise, you will die!"
"Senior sister," Zhou Yu said desperately, "You..."
……
"You...don't do this...I..."
In the real world, Zhou Yu had been rolling on the ground for quite a while.
He was sweating profusely, talking nonsense, and had a terrified expression.
Tang Xin had already ended her meditation because of her noise.
