82 Spli (1/2)

The group only stared at Bai Yun. They could not believe that he had easily killed the plant demon that they could not kill even after such a long fight. So they simply stared at him waiting for an explanation.

”If you had such a powerful attack, then why did you wait until now to use it.” Shadow one asked Bai Yun.

Bai Yun was gasping for breath, but his back was turned to the group so they did not see it. He had forgotten that these were not his old companions and rushed in thinking that they would be right beside him. The mistake nearly cost him his life. If he hadn't used his final trump card just now, he would certainly have died.

Bai Yun calmed himself down, took a deep breath and turned around to face the group. He did not want them to see just how tired he was in case they decided to turn on him in his weakness.

”As if I could fire attacks like that whenever I wanted.” Bai Yun replied with a chuckle. ”That was one of the talismans my father gave me. I wasn't sure if sword attacks were effective against plant demons, so I didn't use it until I was in great danger. Thankfully it worked. Or else I would be dead by now.”

Shadow one nodded as he heard this. This explanation made sense to everyone. Bai Yun also saw a few of them give a soft sigh in relief. If he could throw such attacks with ease, then he was far too dangerous to be around.

Once they confirmed that the demonic plant was indeed dead, they decided to rest for a while. While swiftly getting to the bridge was important, getting there alive was even more important. In the present situation with most of the team severely drained of qi and tired and injured, it was dangerous to forge ahead. If another danger of the same caliber as the demonic plant that they had just fought were to come across them in their tired state, they would certainly lose a couple of people.

The group rested for six hours before they decided to resume their journey. Even though he had exhausted the most qi, Bai Yun had easily recovered by then. After all not only was his cultivation the weakest, his technique was also the strongest. So no one doubted his claim that he did not expend too much energy.

During the time that they had rested, Shadow One had climbed a nearby tree to ascertain their position. With a start, he realized that they had drifted slightly from the course they were on. Once they found the bridge closest to them, they started to walk in its direction after correcting the course.

The group walked through the forest carefully. Last time they got lucky. Plant demons weren't especially known for their stealth. If they were not careful, they could die if the next danger was better hidden.

Bai Yun's sight had turned for the better by now. Even though it still looked as if things were out of focus, things were much better than before. This filled Bai Yun with higher confidence.

As the group started to walk, a fog slowly covered their sights. It was already hard to see with just the darkness of the forest, but with the added fog, it became even harder. Soon it was difficult to even see each other. The group reduced the distance between them so as not to lose each other.

Even as the walked further the bad feeling that Bai Yun was getting only intensified. He knew that there was a problem with the forest, but he could not tell what it was.

As they proceeded further, Bai Yun's heart suddenly started to palpitate. ”Stop.” He shouted out to the group.

The group immediately came to a halt. In an instant, all of their senses tightened and they looked around vigilantly. But even after a moment, nothing appeared in front of them.

”What's wrong.” Shadow one asked.

”I don't know.” Bai Yun replied. ”My subconscious is warning me. I think something is wrong. But I can't be sure what.”

For a few moments the group looked around vigilantly. Suddenly shadow forty four exclaimed. ”What's that sound?”

It was only now that the rest of the group realized that there was a soft murmur coming from all around them. The noise seemed to have appeared and raised itself so slowly that they did not realize it. Like a frog being slowly boiled alive, they only realized it too late.

”We can't see anything because of the damn fog.” Shadow one replied.

”I may have something.” Shadow forty four said.

He groped inside his robes for a while before he pulled out a small piece of paper. Members of blood moon were not like Bai Yun and did not receive a storage ring. Once he had the paper, shadow forty four threw the paper up into the air. Once it reached a good height, it slowly caught on fire and then exploded while releasing a huge burst of wind. Very quickly all the fog in a hundred meter radius of the group was dispersed. But the fog which was dispersed was quickly trying to get back.

But the group did not notice this. They were preoccupied with something else.

In front of their eyes, hundreds of red eyes dotted the darkness.

For a while the soft murmur stopped. With a start, the group realized that the murmur they were hearing was the sound of small footsteps. They gulped as the watched the scene outside with horror.
