Taking advantage of the moment when the insects were thrown off balance by the fire attack, everyone quickly retreated to the rear!

Their preparations were limited, and the fire caused by the alcohol could only temporarily stop the insects for a short time.

By the time they realized what was happening and tried to take a detour, everyone was still attacked from both sides!

If we hurry in the direction Lu Ming and the others left earlier, there might still be hope!

Perhaps because the insect swarm was no longer there, and the insects could no longer distract Su Wu and the others, the three-headed chick spirit never appeared again.

But as the group ventured deeper into the mountains and forests behind them, their faces showed no sign of relaxation; instead, they grew increasingly solemn.

It seems they've gotten lost!

These town jailers didn't often leave the city to begin with, and now, in their panic, they had no idea where they had ended up.

"Oh no, I'm lost."

Looking at the unfamiliar mountains and forests around them, everyone's expressions were quite grim.

After the previous losses, only seven brothers remained present.

Su Wu, Liu Dashan, Wu Dameng, Wu Er, and two prison guard brothers.

Looking at the unfamiliar mountains and forests before him, Wu Er couldn't help but show a hint of complaint on his face.

"If I had known, I would have chosen to bypass those guards and force my way into the city."

"Then you go?" Before Wu Er could finish speaking, Wu Dameng sneered.

At this moment, he didn't care whether Wu Er's martial arts cultivation was higher than his own, and he spoke through gritted teeth.

"Wu Er, if you hadn't gone out without checking your equipment, and those three chick demons had escaped, we wouldn't be in this situation!"

"Once a signal flare is fired, the two Demon-Suppressing Guards in Lin'an City will immediately return to provide reinforcements!"

"Still trying to take a detour and charge in?"

"If it weren't for Su Wu's quick thinking in temporarily using fire to cut off the insects' pursuit, would we still be standing here safely?"

However, when faced with Wu Dameng's tough rebuttal, Wu Er also retorted without hesitation.

"You're incompetent; you couldn't even hold off a single signal flare, and you're blaming me?"

Seeing the two start arguing, Liu Dashan, who was standing next to Su Wu, also showed anger on his face and shouted coldly at them.

"Shut the fuck up, all of you!"

"Now is not the time for infighting!"

"Those stinky bugs and swarms of insects could catch up at any moment, we need to figure out a way to escape before then!"

"Otherwise, we'll be dragged to our deaths here."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Liu Dashan is right. The most important thing for them now is to get out of trouble.

But now they are trapped deep in the mountains and forests, and they don't even know the way. How can they get out of trouble?

"Never mind, let's find a way first!"

"Don't scatter, everyone! Otherwise, once we get separated, we might never have the chance to meet again!"

At this point, everyone realized the seriousness of the matter and began to search for a way as Liu Dashan had instructed.

However, after walking for half a day, they found themselves going deeper and deeper into the unknown, no longer knowing where they were.

"Where am I?"

"Why does it feel like we've never been here before?"

Fortunately, just when everyone was about to despair, a mountain path appeared in front of them.

"There's a road!"

The moment they saw the mountain path appear, everyone's spirits lifted.

Having a road at least means having a direction.

As long as you follow the direction of the road, you're sure to encounter someone.

If it's not right, just go back the way you came; there's bound to be a chance for things to turn around!

"Walk!"

Upon seeing the road appear, hope was rekindled in everyone's hearts, and they quickly chose a direction along the mountain path and hurried there.

As the group followed the path, the scenery before them soon began to change.

They trekked across several mountain passes and a stream, and then came to see an old, ancient temple.

The moment they saw the ancient temple, hope instantly shone in everyone's eyes.

Yet, there was also fear.

Hopefully, an ancient temple appeared at this moment, giving everyone a chance to be rescued.

Leaving aside the world at large, the Taoist and Buddhist schools have an innate ability to restrain demons.

Simply pointing out the way was equivalent to saving lives for everyone.

But what's frightening is that it might be an abandoned temple.

That would be tantamount to extinguishing all hope for everyone.

Moreover, the very appearance of an ancient temple in this desolate wilderness signifies danger.

"No matter what the situation, we have no choice."

Seeing the hesitant looks on everyone's faces, Liu Dashan stood beside Su Wu and addressed the rest of the group.

Everyone understood this and nodded in agreement. Then they hurried towards the ancient temple.

Before long, the group arrived at the ancient temple.

Contrary to expectations of desolation, the ancient temple plaque was now spotless.

The three large golden characters above shone brightly.

Lanyin Temple!

The temple was bustling with worshippers, its gates wide open, and many novices were walking around inside.

As the crowd approached, a young novice monk quickly stepped forward and bowed to them with his hands clasped together.

"Welcome to our Lanying Temple, esteemed guests."

"Are you here to offer incense, or do you have other requests?"

Upon seeing someone to greet them, one of the prison guards' eyes lit up.

"Uncle Liu, Brother Wu, someone's here!"

Wu Dameng stepped forward excitedly and showed her waist token to the young novice monk.

"We are the jailers of the Demon Prison in Lin'an Town."

"I wonder if your abbot is at the temple?"

"So you are distinguished guests from the Demon Suppression Prison." Looking at the waist tags on Wu Dameng and the others, the young novice couldn't help but show a hint of respect in his eyes.

"Please allow me to enter the temple and inform the abbot."

After saying that, the young novice monk quickly ran towards the temple.

A moment later, the young novice reappeared at the temple entrance, panting, and addressed the group respectfully.

"Distinguished guests, please come in."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

But they all still subconsciously looked towards Liu Dashan.

Liu Dashan didn't waste any time and waved his hand directly at the young novice monk.

"lead the way!"

Upon hearing this, the young novice monk quickly came to his senses and spoke to the others.

"This way."

Then, he led the group into the temple.

Upon entering the temple, the scenery came into view.

Although there weren't many worshippers, there were quite a few novice monks here; some were cleaning, and others were welcoming guests.

During this time, one could even faintly hear the sound of chanting Buddhist mantras.

Seeing this, everyone's expressions relaxed.

"Looks like we've come to the right place."

"Such an ancient and sacred place would never dare to be disturbed by demons!"

Only Su Wu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Just now, the cold poison in his body began to recover again!

And it's not slow either!

There are evil spirits here!

And it's not small!
