The vicious female Ye Youcha, who is in Shura Field every day

Chapter 248 Strange and Unusual (This chapter is a combined chapter with two other chapters, totaling 4000+ words)

Looking at the place where the wolf tribe once lived, now turned into ruins in the blink of an eye, Feng Qiwu felt an unprecedented sense of pleasure.

Her swollen hooves crushed a piece of animal bone lying on the ground, her voice hoarse and unpleasant: "Run? Let's see where you can run to!"

She turned to look at Feng Yan, her festering eyelids drooping: "Great Shaman, I know you are the most powerful, and you will surely be able to find that vile woman."

The Great Shaman Phoenix Flame glanced at her, but did not answer. He gripped his bone staff and walked toward a collapsed stone house, where he rummaged through a corner and found a piece of animal hide.

Although we don't know whose it is, it must have been left by the wolf tribe.

The Great Shaman Phoenix Flame began chanting: "Using blood as a guide, pursue the soul for ten thousand miles!"

She cut her finger and dripped blood onto the animal hide. The blood suddenly turned into tiny blood worms, which rustled and burrowed into the ground.

A moment later, the soil in the southeast direction suddenly surged, and bloodworms formed an arrow pointing towards the Sky Mist Canyon.

"found it."

Feng Yan sneered, "So that's where you were hiding."

.........

Meanwhile, in Tianwu Canyon, the night was as dark as ink.

Su Xiyue was squatting on the ground, drawing something on the ground with a twig in her hand.

She drew a detailed map of Tianwu Canyon, so detailed that every route was clearly drawn.

This was drawn based on the system map, and it even marked suitable locations for placing traps.

Mo Lin stared at the extremely detailed map on the ground in front of him, his dark eyes looking at her with suspicion: "Yue'er, how come you are so familiar with Tianwu Canyon?"

Although he had spent three months in Tianwu Canyon, he could only roughly figure out the route and make sure he didn't get lost inside. He couldn't draw a complete map.

Ye Ling, Qing Zhu, Xuan Ming, Xuan Yuan Ming, Su Lie, and the priest were also squatting nearby, looking at Mo Lin with curiosity after hearing her words.

Silver Blade, Black Fiend, Frostflame, and eight snake cubs were playing nearby.

Su Xiyue pointed a branch at a spot on the map and casually rambled on, "I've been here in my dreams."

Everyone: "..."

That reason is truly irrefutable.

But no one asked again, taking it as guidance from the Beast God in a dream.

She didn't care whether they believed her or not, and continued drawing on the ground with the twig, "This is the entrance. Although the Phoenix Clan is skilled at flying, the poisonous miasma in the Sky Mist Canyon affects visibility and is not conducive to flying at all. They will definitely enter from the valley entrance, and they will definitely pass through here when they come in. We can set some traps..."

What she said was all based on various military strategies she had read in her previous life, as well as the terrain of Tianwu Canyon.

"What I fear most now is that if the Phoenix Clan can't find anyone and falls into the Wolf Tribe's ambush, they might get so angry that they'll set the mountain on fire without a care. At that point, no matter what traps we set, it will be useless, and we'll be exposed with nowhere to hide."

Su Xiyue frowned, clearly thinking about how to deal with this worst-case scenario.

Setting fire to the mountain is something that the female Phoenix Perching on the Wutong Tree is absolutely capable of doing.

Xuan Yuanming had been listening silently to her all along. He looked at her and sneered, "Setting the mountain on fire? They've miscalculated."

He sneered, "Don't forget, I am Zhulong, who can bring rain and spray water."

Upon hearing this, her eyes lit up as she looked at Xuan Yuanming: "That's right! You can use rain to extinguish the fire, and you can also use water mist to intensify the miasma in the canyon, making it even harder for them to discern directions."

Back in the Upper Realm, when she first met Feng Qiwu, he also set fire to the mountain to search for someone, but the fire was later extinguished by rain from the Dragon Clan.

Suddenly, I felt that the dragon race was simply the nemesis of the phoenix race.

Xuan Yuanming smiled and said, "That's right. I'll be guarding the top of the canyon. If they dare to set fire, I'll make them taste what it's like to be soaked to the bone."

The others present laughed upon hearing this.

With Xuanyuan Ming around, there's no need to fear the Phoenix Clan setting fire to the mountain.

Su Lie smiled and said, "Then let's do as Yue'er said and split up to set up the traps. Let's make the traps as insidious as possible. This time, we must make sure that the Phoenix Clan never returns!"

Everyone responded in unison and got up to prepare.

As soon as Su Xiyue stood up, the system's voice rang in her mind.

"Host, the Phoenix Flame Great Witch has arrived in the Lower Realm with her elite warriors and burned down the entire Wolf Tribe."

Her eyes turned cold instantly, and the branch in her hand snapped with a "crack".

"what happened?"

Ye Ling keenly noticed her unusual behavior.

"The Phoenix Clan has arrived."

Her voice was icy. "The tribe... was burned down."

Mo Lin stopped abruptly. "Did those little animals tell you?"

The moon can communicate with all living things, and instinctively thought it was hearing something.

Su Xiyue glanced at Mo Lin, thinking to herself that Feng Yan had just burned down the wolf tribe, so how could the news have come so quickly? It was just the system that told her the news.

However, he did not refute Mo Lin's words, which can be considered as tacit agreement.

Su Lie's face was extremely pale, and he felt terrible. Anyone would feel bad upon hearing that their homeland had been destroyed.

The priest was equally upset, slamming his bone staff into the ground, the veins on his withered hand bulging. "Those feathered beasts of the Phoenix Clan."

As people get older, they tend to miss their homeland more; the old man is angry.

A bluish light suddenly appeared in his cloudy eyes, and the vines in the canyon moved without wind, like countless awakening snakes.

This was the first time Su Xiyue had ever seen the old man so furious; even living things trembled in his rage.

"The old priest has lost his temper!"

The branches and leaves of the ancient locust tree rustled and trembled.

"Hurry up and let your roots grow deeper."

A clump of thorns desperately tried to burrow into the cracks in the rocks.

Qingzhu's emerald green eyes suddenly looked in a certain direction: "Listen, something is approaching."

The eight little snakes all raised their heads in unison.

The rustling sound came from all directions, getting closer and closer.

"It's a ghost-faced spider, attracted by the old man's aura."

Ye Ling opened her third eye between her brows, looked in a certain direction, and said in a cold voice.

"Just in time."

The priest grinned maliciously as he pulled out his bone staff. "Perfect, I'll use these to test my new spells—"

His withered fingers suddenly made a hand seal, and all the plants in the canyon grew wildly. Thick vines wrapped around the millstone-sized ghost spider, and sharp wooden spikes shot out from the ground, pinning the spider together.

Xuanming stared in disbelief: "Old...Priest, what's that move called? It looks pretty awesome."

"Why are you asking so many questions, brat? You wouldn't understand even if I told you. Hurry up and set up the trap!"

The priest tapped him on the buttocks with his bone staff and snorted coldly.

Xuanming jumped back, clutching his buttocks, and grimaced, saying, "That old man really went all out. All I asked was one more question!"

Ye Ling's silver eyes swept over the corpses of the ghost-faced spiders scattered on the ground: "Use these corpses as bait, hang them on the treetops, and attract more poisonous creatures."

Mo Lin understood and used vines to hang up the severed limbs of the Ghost-Faced Spider, dripping venom onto the vines.

The verdant vines suddenly shimmered with a ghostly blue light, which was strangely eerie, like something out of a horror movie.

Especially in the pitch-black night.

Qingzhu chuckled, "I just don't know if those flat-haired beasts are bold enough."

Everyone laughed and got back to their tasks.

Su Xiyue wasn't idle either. She started taking her three wolf cubs, Silver Blade, Black Fiend, and Frostflame, along with eight small snakes, to wander around the canyon, calling it "patrol."

In reality, she wanted to take the opportunity to slack off and check if there were any traps she had missed.

With her around, the three wolf cubs and eight little snakes were extremely excited and ran around happily.

But they all remembered to stay close to her and dare not stray far.

The three wolf cubs grew closer to her and had long since lost their initial resistance.

Su Xiyue's lips curled up slightly as she saw their excited expressions.

She found herself growing to like these little rascals more and more.

Not only are they cute, but they are also very obedient, giving her an unprecedented experience of raising a pet.

When passing by a trap, he made sure to reinforce it and sprinkled some homemade poison powder and fluorescent powder inside.

Not only does it enhance the terrifying atmosphere, but even a tiny bit can cause festering sores and pus all over the body; it's made from a mixture of various herbs.

A little was scattered in each trap, and the tribe's orcs were instructed not to touch it.

Suddenly, I heard a fluttering sound coming from the treetops.

Looking up, she saw a night owl tilting its head and looking at her, its beak opening and closing: "Three miles to the southeast, a phoenix is ​​about to enter the valley."

Su Xiyue's expression changed instantly. She threw the packet of medicine powder in her hand on the ground and led the three wolf cubs and eight small snakes to find Su Lie and the others.

"Father, the Phoenix Clan has arrived."

Upon seeing Su Lie's figure in the distance, Su Xiyue immediately shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, Su Lie immediately turned around and strode over. "So fast?" He had thought the Phoenix Clan wouldn't arrive until at least tomorrow.

"We've already entered the valley, but the Sky Mist Canyon is shrouded in poisonous miasma, so it probably won't be easy to find this place."

Su Xiyue was out of breath from running and took several breaths to catch her breath.

Ye Ling and the others were nearby, so they naturally heard what was just said.

"Xuanming, immediately notify the clansmen to remain hidden and not to come out unless necessary. Keep them well hidden."

He gave them a serious warning, then looked at the three wolf cubs and eight little snakes: "Especially you, don't be playful and show yourselves, understand?"

"I'd rather just stuff them in than risk it."

Su Xiyue knew that Silver Blade and the others were very mischievous and probably wouldn't obey her, so she waved her hand and simply put them into her space.

Seeing that everyone was stunned, no one asked any further questions.

Meanwhile, at the entrance to the Sky Mist Canyon, the Phoenix Flame Great Witch led a group of elite Phoenix warriors, carefully traversing the pervasive poisonous miasma.

Two tenth-rank worshippers walked to the side.

They originally wanted to fly directly in, but the miasma in Tianwu Canyon was too heavy and visibility was obstructed, making flying too dangerous, so they could only proceed on foot.

Feng Qiwu, wrapped in a cloak, was covered in festering sores and swelling, making it difficult for her to even walk, yet she insisted on coming along.

She hated Su Xiyue so much that she not only wanted to watch that vile woman die, but also wanted to skin her alive with her own hands.

The Phoenix Flame Great Shaman's raven feather cloak appeared and disappeared in the mist, and he slammed his bone staff heavily on the ground: "Each of you take an antidote pill and swallow it. This mist is poisonous."

The Phoenix warriors lined up to receive the medicine, and a few young orcs couldn't help but mutter:
"You can't even see the road in this godforsaken place."

"I heard that the lowly people of the lower realms are hiding here?"

……

A young Phoenix Clan warrior disdainfully kicked aside the vines blocking his path: "Mere poisonous miasma from the lower realms."

Before he could finish speaking, his feet were suddenly entangled in vines, and he was thrown upside down into the bushes.

Amidst screams, countless splinters shot up from the ground, riddling him with holes.

The other Phoenix Clan warriors were so frightened that they drew their weapons and nervously looked around.

Unfortunately, the thick poisonous miasma obscured their vision, and all they could see was a white fog and the blood-soaked figure of the Phoenix Clan warrior hanging upside down on a tree branch.

The clansmen who were alive and well just a moment ago are now in such a miserable state.

Even though the Phoenix Clan warriors present were all seasoned veterans, they were quite frightened at this moment, and a chill ran down their spines.

This place seems eerie in every way.

"Who?"

The Great Shaman Phoenix Flame's face was extremely ugly. He slammed his bone staff down heavily and shouted angrily.

The only response she received was a scream echoing through the canyon, and a white, poisonous miasma all around her.

They didn't even know where the enemy was, and they lost a member of their tribe.

This fueled a burning anger within the Great Witch Phoenix Flame.

"Ah! Help me!"

The Phoenix warrior, riddled with thorns, was still struggling and screaming, his blood dripping down the splinters and staining the withered leaves on the ground red.

Two Phoenix warriors who were on good terms couldn't resist stepping forward to save the person.

"Stop! Who gave you permission to move?"

The Great Witch of Phoenix Flame coldly stopped the two Phoenix warriors who wanted to step forward, her gaze icy as she looked at the clansman who was riddled with holes.

In this situation, even if they were saved, they would be crippled.

Phoenix warriors are proud; they'd rather die a quick death than live as useless trash.

The two Phoenix Clan warriors were stopped and could only watch helplessly as their companion struggled and died tragically on the wooden spikes.

"It's weird."

Feng Li, the tenth-ranked offering, narrowed his eyes, and a cluster of phoenix true fire ignited at his fingertips.

In the firelight, the surrounding vines suddenly twisted and turned, like countless venomous snakes awakening.

"Back off!"

The Great Shaman of Phoenix Flame roared and plunged his bone staff into the ground.

The raven feather cloak moved without wind, and a wall of fire rose instantly.

Almost simultaneously, the blood-stained vines suddenly burst open, and dark green poisonous mist mixed with miasma.

Several Phoenix Clan warriors who couldn't dodge in time immediately covered their faces and screamed in pain.

Their skin festered and oozed pus at a visible rate.

"It's snake venom!"

Feng Li's expression changed drastically, and she instantly unfurled her fiery wings to protect herself. "The poison of the Teng Snake Clan!"

Feng Chi, another tenth-rank elder, frowned and looked around: "How could the poison of the Tengshe clan appear here?"

Feng Li shook his head; he didn't know the answer to this question either.

A rustling sound came from deep within the thick fog, as if something was moving quickly.

One of the Phoenix Clan elite warriors pointed to a spot and shouted, "There's something there!"

A dark shadow flashed past like lightning, and before the outermost Phoenix Clan warriors could react, they were dragged into the poisonous fog.

With a heart-wrenching scream, it vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving its companions no time to intervene.

It was eerily creepy.

Feng Qiwu wrapped himself tightly in his cloak, looking around with a pale face, cold sweat breaking out on his back.

If I had known this place was so eerie, I wouldn't have come.

However, there's no way to go back now, so I can only grit my teeth and follow along.

But I was already having second thoughts.

"You're playing tricks, come out here."

Feng Li suddenly roared, and flames rained down on the source of the sound.

The burning of the nearby ancient forest also illuminated the things hanging on the branches.

A dozen or so dried-out corpses of ghost-faced spiders swayed in the wind, their human-face patterns on their abdomens twisting eerily in the firelight, gleaming with a ghostly green glow.

"what…"

Feng Qiwu screamed in fright and backed away, when suddenly her foot was entangled by something and pulled sharply.

"what--"

She lost her balance and fell heavily to the ground, then was dragged away at lightning speed and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

The screams of Feng Qiwu abruptly ceased, and the canyon returned to deathly silence.

All that could be heard was a soft chewing sound.

It sounded as if something was gnawing at something, the sound particularly clear in the silent canyon.

"help me…"

A weak cry for help came from the thick fog.

It was the sound of a phoenix perching on a parasol tree, accompanied by chewing sounds, eerily chilling.

The Phoenix Clan warriors couldn't help but shiver; even the two tenth-level elders felt a chill run down their spines.

This place is too eerie.

"what--"

Another scream rang out, this time closer to them, as if it were right next to their ears.

Everyone felt a chill on their necks, as if something was flicking its tongue and crawling across their necks.

The two phoenix warriors turned pale with fright and instinctively reached out to touch the ground, but found nothing.

"You're just playing tricks. Let's see how long you can hide."

Feng Li shouted coldly, and flames rained down on the source of the sound.

The firelight illuminated the mist, as well as the dried-out corpses of the ghost-faced spiders hanging from the treetops, and... the phoenix perched on the treetops, its clothes torn and hanging upside down.

Her body was cut open, and it was empty inside; the terror she felt before dying remained on her face.

The corpse swayed eerily in the firelight, and countless poisonous insects crawled out of its festering flesh, sending chills down one's spine.

The Great Witch Fengyan's face was extremely ugly. Feng Qiwu was the clan chief's daughter, but now she was dead here. Just thinking about it made one realize how furious the clan chief would be if he found out.

I'm afraid I'll suffer the consequences myself as well.

The two tenth-level elders also looked extremely grim. Feng Qiwu's identity was extraordinary, yet he had to die here.

Even if the two hold high positions in the clan, they will likely still face punishment from the clan leader.

The Phoenix Clan Great Shaman's bone staff was driven deep into the ground, his withered fingers trembling with rage. His duck-feather cloak fluttered without wind, and his cloudy old eyes were filled with fury: "Burn it—burn this hellhole to ashes!"
