All Heavens: Starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Chapter 157 Carrion Owl

Seeing that the old white ape had lost one eye, the old foreigner perked up and prepared to shoot out the old white ape's other eye.

But this old white ape wasn't stupid; after all, it was a cunning creature. Knowing it had met its nemesis, it turned and rushed up the mountain, disappearing in a few leaps.

The old foreigner sighed and said, "What a pity, it escaped."

Partridge Whistle said, "It's not easy for it to have developed its intelligence and cultivated to this point. Never mind, as long as it doesn't bother us anymore, we don't need to pay attention to it."

Immediately, Partridge Whistle walked to Gu Yu's side, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "I never expected Brother Gu to be so skilled; it's truly admirable."

The old foreigner couldn't help but exclaim, "Indeed, how powerful was that old white ape's charge? I never expected Brother Gu to be able to repel it."

Gu Yu also cupped his hands in greeting and said with a smile, "You two are too kind. I was merely using a clever trick and borrowing strength to fight back."

Partridge Whistle said, "It really is a Tai Chi technique. It seems that Brother Gu has some connection with Taoism."

At the same time, Chen Yulou and the others saw the old white ape escape and began to cross the river as well.

As soon as they crossed the river, Hong Gu went to Gu Yu's side and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Gu Yu smiled and said, "It's nothing."

At this moment, the kidnapper couldn't help but make a joke: "I never thought that the usually cold and aloof Red Girl would care about people like this."

Hong Gu was so angry that she kicked him: "Who asked you to say that?"

"Hahaha!"

Upon seeing Hong Gu's rare display of anger and embarrassment, the disciples couldn't help but burst into laughter.

After the brief incident, the group continued their journey and finally arrived at the edge of the rift valley before sunset.

Next, Chen Yulou arranged for camp to be set up, eat, rest, and conserve his energy before heading to the Rift Valley early the next morning.

The cripple peered out from the edge of the rift and said, "It seems the five-colored mist of Ping Mountain is rising from here."

The old herbalist said, "Don't get too close, or you might get poisoned."

The kidnapper was startled and quickly backed away.

The old herbalist added, "This is miasma formed at the bottom of the valley; inhaling it can easily be fatal."

"What should we do then?" the kidnapper couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, I was prepared."

into the night.

The moonlight was bright and clear.

Gu Yu meditated and regulated his breathing for a while, then strolled along the mountain path, enjoying the night view of the mountains.

This place has been uninhabited for hundreds of years, making it a truly pristine and beautiful natural landscape.

They hadn't gone far when they suddenly heard a noise.

"Who?"

Gu Yu shouted and quickly ran towards the grove of trees on the right.

"what!"

As soon as I ran into the woods, I heard a cry of surprise.

Then, I saw a blinding white light.

Those are Red Girl's legs.

She was frantically pulling up her pants.

It turned out that she had left the camp to relieve herself, and unexpectedly, a snake swam over while she was urinating.

Hong Gu frequently ventured into mountains and ancient tombs, so she was naturally unafraid of snakes, insects, and rodents. With a flick of her wrist, she pinned the snake to the ground with a throwing knife.

Although the noise was very small, Gu Yu heard it and rushed over like a gust of wind.

Hong Gu was terrified and quickly got up to pull up her pants.

Unexpectedly, I was still a step too slow. I had just pulled it up to my knees when I saw Gu Yu running over.

"Excuse me, excuse me————"

Gu Yu quickly turned around.

He secretly praised her, not expecting her to be so fair-skinned.

Hong Gu blushed deeply, quickly fastened her belt, and then whispered, "Why are you here?"

Gu Yu turned around and said with a smile, "I couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk. I heard some noise in the woods, so I ran in."

Hong Gu bit her lip and whispered, "You mustn't tell anyone about this."

"Don't worry, I will keep it a secret."

"I'll head back to camp first."

Hong Gu hurriedly left the grove.

"Your throwing knife."

"Please keep this for me."

Silent all night.

The next morning.

After the disciples finished breakfast, they began to assemble the centipede ladder.

The centipede ladder is a special type of ladder made by the Xieling team, and its design differs from that of ordinary ladders. Ordinary ladders have two support pillars with a horizontal step in the middle.

The centipede ladder has only one support, with steps distributed on both sides, making it look like a centipede.

Moreover, the centipede ladder can be connected section by section using hooks, allowing people to descend from the top of the cliff to the bottom of the valley.

This time, Chen Yulou carefully selected about a hundred disciples to go down with him, while the rest of the disciples stayed on the cliff to await orders.

Partridge Whistle left Flower Spirit up there while he and the old foreigner went down to scout ahead.

Before going down, everyone took a pill, which was prepared by the old herbalist and Hua Ling, and could effectively resist the miasma.

The group finally reached the bottom of the valley safely.

"I didn't expect it to be this wide down there?"

Although the light at the bottom of the valley was dim, Chen Yulou had a pair of natural night vision. He looked around and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Gu Yu also looked around and found that the terrain at the bottom of the valley was very complicated.

The area is filled with stones of all sizes and strange shapes, as well as some shrubs, weeds, and even trees that I can't name.

The valley floor is perpetually shrouded in darkness, yet these plants still thrive so abundantly; they must have mutated.

After everyone had come down, Chen Yulou counted the number of people and then headed east along the valley.

After walking a short distance, Gu Yu suddenly stopped, raised his hand, and said, "Wait!"

"What's wrong?"

Chen Yulou asked in a low voice.

"Something's not right, everyone be careful."

As soon as the words were spoken, a sharp scream rang out. Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen huge black shadows flew over.

"This is... a carrion owl?"

Chen Yulou couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The carrion owl is a legendary bird of prey with black feathers and a body shape like an eagle, but much larger, with a wingspan of over ten feet.

Carcass owls primarily feed on carrion, and their claws are also covered in carrion poison. If caught and not treated promptly, the poison will spread throughout the body, turning the owl into a pool of carrion fluid, which is quite terrifying.

"Quickly, light more torches."

Partridge Whistle shouted loudly.

He has a wealth of experience and has even encountered carrion owls.

Although this thing is ferocious, it lives in a dark environment all year round, so it is naturally afraid of light.

The old herbalist saw an opportunity and quickly released the Angry-Sun Chicken.

Before he could give any orders, the Angry-Eyed Chicken had already flapped its wings and soared into the air, heading straight for the carrion owls.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

At the same time, the old foreigner fired three arrows in quick succession, one arrow killing one enemy, and three carnivorous owls immediately fell to the ground with mournful cries.

The angry-eyed rooster was not slow either. It flew over and swooped down, scrambling and pecking, and in the blink of an eye, it had killed three or four of them.

"Bang bang bang!"

At this moment, Partridge Whistle also fired at the carrion owl flying in from behind.

With the combined efforts of all the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect, and under the illumination of the torches, the surviving carrion owls finally flew away, leaving behind a pile of corpses.

"Is anyone hurt?"

Chen Yulou asked a question loudly.

"no."

"You're not injured."

The crowd responded enthusiastically.

Chen Yulou couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, how many monsters are lurking down there?"

Partridge Whistle said, "Anyway, everyone be careful and don't get separated."
