Chapter 67: Kill!

  "Fang Yan, this gourd valley is shrouded in thick fog all year round. Except for the brief period at noon when the scorching sun can dispel some of the dense fog, it's always misty and hazy here. With visibility blocked in this mountain valley, I'm afraid we might encounter an ambush by our enemies." Fu Qingxuan's face was filled with concern as soon as she entered the valley.

  This gourd valley, in peacetime, only has some large ferocious beasts, and second- or third-class demon beasts are rarely seen. Due to the terrain, this gourd valley is now fraught with danger, having four or five strong demon beasts, as well as fugitives at the fourth or fifth level of the Violent Qi Realm. The demon beasts are easier to deal with, but these fugitives are not so easy to handle; they will stop at nothing in order to survive.

  "Be careful with this, I'm mainly worried about those desperate people, they might join forces to survive, and to kill them, we need to fight them head-on. Although we also have 108 people, but we are all fighting individually, not united, and can't be compared to these desperate people." Fang Qing said with a furrowed brow.

  "Let's go, it doesn't make sense to talk about this now. Let's first find a place to settle down in Gourd Valley and hide for two days before talking." Fang Yan shook his head. This Gourd Valley is restricted by the terrain, and can only enter but not exit. To obtain the heads of those fugitives, just guard the exit and wait for them to come to you. But this exit is the most dangerous place.

  Fang's party of three entered the Gourd Valley and soon encountered a third-level demonic beast, a third-stage sword-toothed boar that charged out of the dense fog. If not for Fang Yan's reminder, the sword-toothed boar would have been able to harm Fang Qing.

  "Fang Qing, let me handle this sword-toothed boar." Fang Yan saw the opportunity and stopped Fang Qing, who was in a state of fury, and killed the three-stage stubborn boar with one strike.

  "Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully killed the enemy and obtained 8 points of merit value." The cold system prompt sounded in Fang Yan's mind.

  Eight points of merit value, for Yan it's a bit less, but the mosquito is small, it's also meat! With these eight points of merit value, he can cultivate the tea washing skill again, that's several tens of experience points.

  The gourd valley is flat, with ancient trees towering everywhere. As for finding a quiet and undisturbed cave to retreat and cultivate, it's not possible. Perhaps in the depths of the gourd valley, on the steep cliffs surrounding it, one could carve out a cave, but that would require traversing the entire valley, which might lead to some unpredictable accidents.

  One hundred and eight fugitives from the Violent Realm, each of whom was enough to be a threat on their own, let alone when they gathered together. As for Fang Yan and his group, their plan was to find a hiding place to avoid the storm in the first few days, and wait until the examiners who entered the valley and the fugitives in the valley dispersed before taking action.

  In the blink of an eye, the sky had completely darkened, and a thick fog had risen again in the Gourd Valley. Ten or more zhang away, nothing could be seen clearly, it was all blurry. At this moment, one had to rely on a person's strong perception.

  The line of sight is blocked, and the gourd valley is increasingly dangerous. From time to time, a powerful monster will suddenly appear from nowhere, and the various big families in the gourd valley must be on high alert at all times to respond to the sudden sneak attacks.

  "Pffft!"

  In the valley of gourds, in a dense thicket, four or five familiar young talents walked together. Suddenly, a black shadow flashed out from the thick fog and pounced on this assessment team like lightning. With a "poof" sound, one of the youths' arms was torn off along with his shoulder by a sharp claw. If he hadn't dodged slightly, he would have been ripped in half. Fresh blood gushed out, filling the air around them with a strong bloody smell instantly.

  "Ah! My arm, my arm."

  A shrill cry echoed through the woods, and what was once a cheerful group instantly became chaotic.

  "What kind of monster is this, how did it launch a sneak attack? Take a closer look at what kind of monster launched a sneak attack on Ma Jun's horse."

  "Look quickly, this is a Phantom Leopard, the killer in the jungle. We're so unlucky, as soon as we entered Gourd Valley, we encountered such a formidable fourth-level demon beast."

  ……

  Cries of surprise kept ringing out in the group of five, a dark-coated, color-changing panther appeared before their eyes.

  "Ah..."

  The dark leopard raised a residual shadow and pounced on the crowd again, and for a time, the miserable cries continued to ring out. The five people who were originally still in an alliance abandoned their companions without saying a word and fled in all directions.

  ……

  As they entered the Gourd Valley, the young masters of various prominent families were in groups of three to five, especially the two royal families, with nearly thirty people gathering together, almost able to roam freely in the valley. But how could the assessment of the Hao Han Sect not take this into account? Almost as soon as they had entered the Gourd Valley four or five miles away, they encountered a group of over ten fugitives who were driving two fifth-level demonic beasts and trying to break out of the valley. The two forces clashed, and the alliance formed by the two royal families instantly collapsed like ice and snow. Nearly half of the nearly thirty-strong team was scattered and pursued by these fugitives.

  "Damn it, where did this fugitive come from? He's really ferocious. If we hadn't escaped quickly, I'm afraid we would have become ghosts under his knife by now." A prince of the Wang family glanced back with some regret.

  "If it weren't for the fact that they didn't have any weapons in their hands, we would have been beheaded by now." Wang Jiang said to Wang Bo beside him.

  "Now we've lost contact with the main force, now what we need to do is hurry up and reunite with Wang Chudage and them." said Wang Bo.

  "Damn it, why did the Hao Han Zong choose to hold the assessment in this Gourd Valley? The dense fog is getting thicker and the situation is becoming more and more critical. How are we going to find Wang Chu and the others?" King Jiang looked around at the thick fog and couldn't help but curse under his breath.

  "Never mind, let's just look around nearby, they should be around here somewhere." Wang Bo said with a hint of helplessness.

  "There's some movement ahead, it must be Wang Chu and the others." Wang Bo and Wang Jiang walked out about 40 or 50 meters when they suddenly felt that there was some movement ahead, and immediately stopped in their tracks.

  "There seems to be some movement ahead, it looks like someone is active nearby." In a forest more than 20 meters away, Fang Yan, Fu Qingxuan and Fang Qing walked side by side, with Fu Qingxuan in the middle of the crowd feeling that there was movement ahead. A pair of beautiful eyes scanned the surroundings, then said.

  "Listening to these footsteps, it's two people, possibly fugitives from this gourd valley."

  "Let's go and take a look." Fang Yan responded lightly and then led the way towards the source of the sound.

  "Huh, it's a member of the Wang family." The distance of over ten zhang was traversed in the blink of an eye, both sides being extremely cautious. When Fang Yan clearly saw who the person was, he couldn't help but softly exclaim.

  "It's Fang's family, Fang Yan, Fu Qingxuan, Fang Qing." Wang Bo took a look at the person who came and suddenly exclaimed in surprise, how could he meet the children of the Fang family here.

  "Only two, since we've met, let's kill them both." Looking at Wang Bo and Wang Jiang, the two violent Qi realm cultivators of the Wang family. Fang Yan's killing intent suddenly rose, and he shouted loudly at Fu Qingxuan and Fang Qing.

  "Kill!"

  "Not good, Fang Yan has turned against us and wants to kill us, let's get out of here quickly!" Wang Bo heard Fang Yan's loud shout and immediately turned around and ran.

  "Want to escape? You'd better all stay." Fang Yan saw Wang Jiang and Wang Bo turn around and run, and he couldn't help but sneer.
