We wouldn't be trapped here, would we Stop being paranoid. Old Ghost Yu has been here for a while now. We can't afford to dawdle!”

Having said that, Luo Xinan immediately transformed into a ray of light, breaking through the air and disappearing. The people behind him quickly followed suit.
Sheng Yuanzi helplessly shook her head, agreeing with Luo Xinnan's words to some extent. However, she still waved her hand and sent a wave of spiritual energy into the abyss. The spiritual energy pierced through the Yin Qi, causing a disturbance, but nothing else unusual happened.
Seeing this, Sheng Yuanzi quickened his pace to chase after him.
Everyone quickly flew past the abyss. Inside, it was indeed unremarkable and still very calm.
Sheng Yuanzi retracted his gaze, lowered his guard, and let out a self-deprecating smile. But before the smile could fade from his face, he suddenly heard a faint hissing sound.
"What sound"
Sheng Yuanzi's smile froze, and her face suddenly darkened.
Not only Sheng Yuzi, but everyone else heard it too. Everyone looked around and quickly found the source of the sound, which came from the two small hills in front of them.
Not far across the abyss stood two stone mountains, like gatekeepers of the wasteland.
Shishan was bare and not particularly short, but compared to the distant mountains rumored to hold medicinal herbs, it was as insignificant as a spark beside a bonfire. It seemed utterly unremarkable.
All of Sheng Yuanzi and the others' attention was drawn to the abyss. After all, these two mountains offered a panoramic view, allowing them to see everything clearly. There was nothing unusual in the abyss, and no one expected the problem to arise on the mountain itself.
The sound appeared suddenly, like the roar of some kind of monster.
The next moment, the ground trembled suddenly, and a hissing sound rose and echoed across the field. It quickly grew louder and louder, shaking the heavens.

Then, two crimson mists erupted from the peaks of the mountains, surging towards the sky with a ‘whoosh’.
Here is the translated text:

Inside the mountain peak seemed to be a huge cave, and these red mists appeared without warning, endless as if they were, instantly spreading out, momentarily obscuring half the sky.
Two masses of red mist converged in the mountains, blocking their path.

"There's a snake in here!"
Someone pointed at the clouds and fog and shouted.
“It’s a hooked snake!”
At this time, everyone finally saw the tip of the iceberg of the red mist.
These red mists were exhaled by a serpentine demonic beast!
This kind of snake is very strange in appearance. Its shape is like a snake, and each one is at least ten or so feet long. But unlike real snakes, the hook snake has a fork at its tail, and the two tails that come out are like iron hooks, emitting a luster similar to Xuan iron, with cold light flashing!
Because of its peculiar appearance, everyone immediately recognized the hook snake and simultaneously recalled the accounts about it.
This demonic beast has the strength of a peak-level mortal demon stage when it reaches adulthood. With enough time spent cultivating, it is not difficult to break through to the demonic spirit stage.
What they excel at most is poison.
The red mist they breathe can act as a protective shield, helping them deflect attacks, but it also contains deadly poison. Even cultivators would be in grave danger if they accidentally inhaled the mist or were exposed to it.
The two tail hooks are even laced with highly poisonous venom that can kill instantly, and they are incredibly hard, able to withstand attacks from weapons!
At this time, red mist covered the sky and the sun, with countless snake shadows rolling inside. It was impossible to see how many hook snakes were hidden inside, but there were at least dozens of them. Even if only half of them broke through the demon spirit stage, it would be a big trouble!
Not to mention, there might even be powerful demons in the mid and late stages of the Demon Spirit Realm!
Luoxingnan and Shengyuanzi looked at each other, both incredibly puzzled. Before the hook snake appeared, there was no trace of battle on the mountain or in the valley. How did Yu Kong avoid the hook snake's perception and quietly pass through
But now is not the time to consider those things.

"Retreat to the cave!"
The two of them dared not hesitate any longer, they acted decisively and ordered a retreat!
This place is vast, and once surrounded by a horde of snakes, falling into the red mist, no one can guarantee they'll make it out alive.

Only by relying on the narrow entrance can we calmly arrange troops, divide the snake group, and slowly hunt down the hooked snakes until they are clean. Even though the hooked snakes are strong, they are only demonic beasts after all. With so many foundation-building cultivators, we may not be truly afraid of them.
The crowd obeyed the order, forming a battle formation and quickly retreating.

The hisses of the hook snakes rose and fell, a crimson fog spreading rapidly, getting closer and closer.

"Be careful not to get hurt, and for heaven's sake don't let these beasts smell blood."
Shengyuanzi suddenly remembered something and reminded loudly.

It is rumored that the old Hook Serpents were extremely sensitive to the smell of blood, especially human cultivator's blood. Once they caught a whiff, they would fall into extreme madness. The current Hook Serpents are a different species altogether.
Before the words left his lips, two loud booms suddenly echoed from beneath their feet.
All were shocked and looked down to see two clouds of blood mist erupt from the abyss.
Chunks of meat and bone flew everywhere, mixed with blood splattering in all directions.
Suddenly, everyone was caught off guard and enveloped by two blood mists, one on each side.
"Moonlit Fairy!"
Luo Xinan's face turned pale, and he gasped in shock.
Sheng Yuanzi's expression was also extremely shocked, clearly recognizing the arrival of the withered vine old man.

At this moment, they suddenly understood everything. No wonder there was no memory of the battle, no trace of any fight...
Their sleeper agents had already been exposed. Yu Kong knew it all along, yet he pretended not to notice, allowing the agents to transmit the information and lure them in.
This is clearly a trap meticulously designed by Yu Kongjing!

Their purpose, perhaps, was to lure snakes, or maybe something even more sinister...
"Quickly! Wipe away the blood mist!"
Shengyuanzi reacted first, shouting loudly while firing a red flame to try and burn away the bloody smell. The others naturally didn't dare to slack off either, quickly wiping away the bloody scent.
But it was still a step too late.
The crimson fog pursued relentlessly, right behind them. The moment the corpses exploded, the hook snake had already caught the scent of blood.
In the midst of the red mist, where Luoxingnan and others couldn't see, the Hook Serpent's eyes suddenly turned blood red, staring fixedly at the people on the abyss.

The roar multiplied dozens, hundreds of times in an instant.
What's even more astonishing is that deep within the abyss, the dark energy suddenly churned violently. Two gigantic serpent shadows, like arrows shot from a bowstring, roared with terrifying might and shot out of the abyss at an astonishing speed!
At this time, Qin Sang and the others who were hiding in the darkness did not dare to breathe, for fear that the enraged Gou She would smell their scent. Otherwise, they would also end up like Luo Xingnan and the others.
Qin Sang quietly watched the place where Yu Kong was hiding. Now that the hook snake had been completely attracted by Luo Xinan and others, Yu Kong did not take the opportunity to sneak past from the other side and secretly go to collect medicine.
Could he be thinking of staying here to watch the battle unfold, waiting for a victor before making his move
