In fact, Mo Fan did not care about those dragon-blood creatures. As long as he did not encounter the terrifying creature like the giant lizard from that day, these dragon-blood creatures could not hold him back.
He was not like those fragile human cultivators. Now, his physical defence alone could directly ignore most dragon-blood creatures, and his attack power was also explosive, easily breaking through the dragon scales that dragon-blood creatures prided themselves on.
Of course, even more terrifying was that Mo Fan possessed the Heaven-Devouring Divine Ability.
In other words, these dragon-blood creatures would not become his obstacles but rather his cultivation resources.
However, Mo Fan still chose to heed Bai Shuang’s advice. The reason was simple: before meeting Lei Yu Zi Dian, he did not want to fully expose all his trump cards.
Trump cards were called such because they were meant to catch others off guard at certain times.
For this reason, Mo Fan and Bai Shuang chose a new path, one with a relatively lower danger level.
After observing for a while, Mo Fan discovered that the closer one got to Blood Dragon Mountain, the more one should avoid flying casually, or it would attract big trouble.
The so-called big trouble was some extremely terrifying flying-type dragon-blood creatures.
Although these dragon-blood creatures were not as fearsome as the giant lizard Mo Fan had seen before, they were not to be underestimated. Moreover, they appeared in groups, and even some Golden Core cultivators would detour upon seeing them.
It was unclear if it was due to territorial rules among these dragon-blood creatures, but as long as treasure-hunting cultivators chose to walk and climb the mountain on foot, they would not be attacked by those flying-type dragon-blood creatures.
Of course, the ground-based dragon-blood creatures were also not weak.
When the two demons arrived at the mountain foot, they had cleared a path behind them. At the same time, some cultivators who had been lingering around found an opportunity and stepped onto this path, following Mo Fan and the two demons to the mountain foot.
Mo Fan was too lazy to bother with these opportunistic cultivators.
He looked up ahead and saw a winding mountain path ascending.
The empty mountain path had no dragon-blood creatures, as if it were an extremely safe route. However, the bloodstains on the ground had already turned black, and there was plenty of blood mud present.
But whether that was truly blood mud or flesh mud, Mo Fan did not know.
He did not act rashly. According to the Black Dragon King’s memories, he knew well that although there were many paths on Blood Dragon Mountain, each mountain path held different dangers.
So, Mo Fan would not easily trust what he saw.
Seeing that Mo Fan and the two demons had not moved, the other cultivators exchanged glances. They also sensed the peril and stood still, waiting to see what the two demons would do.
Those who could reach this place were not fools and naturally would not do anything stupid.
Originally, Mo Fan was also waiting to see if anyone would step forward, but in the end, he speechlessly discovered that these fellows were all counting on him.
“Damn, a bunch of cunning people.”
Mo Fan cursed inwardly, knowing these guys were unreliable. He simply released a vast divine sense, probing directly towards the mountain path ahead.
But after scanning with his divine sense, Mo Fan found no dragon-blood creatures on the mountain path, to the point that he did not sense any danger at all.
This made Mo Fan frown, after all, some spots on the mountain path had glaring scarlet blood, clearly indicating that someone had died there not long ago.
“You, go over there.”
As Mo Fan was pondering how to proceed, Bai Shuang’s cold voice sounded beside him.
He immediately followed Bai Shuang’s gaze and saw a middle-aged cultivator standing stiffly not far away. Then, the cultivator turned around, showing Bai Shuang an extremely forced smile, and begged, “Se… Senior, I am just passing by. Can you let me go?”
“What do you think?”
Bai Shuang’s eyes narrowed slightly as she snorted coldly, “Either go over and walk up that mountain path, or die here.”
Upon hearing this, Mo Fan understood Bai Shuang’s idea.
This was to use these cultivators as bait. It was a good plan, cruel though it was, but demons and humans were mortal enemies, so there was no need to talk about martial ethics.
Bai Shuang could thrive under the suppression of the Lei Yu family and even become famous throughout the Feng Ming Mountain demon domain, so naturally, she was no benevolent sort.
“I… I choose to withdraw. I will not participate in exploring the True Dragon Lair.”
The middle-aged cultivator was terrified by Bai Shuang’s gaze. He turned and fled towards the rear.
Bai Shuang snorted coldly and pointed a finger, instantly shooting out a black light.
“You demon, Deng has no grudge against you. Why must you make things difficult for Deng?”
After sensing the danger, the fleeing cultivator could only turn around. He casually sacrificed a round shield and then formed a defensive light shield on his body surface. His pale face showed shock and anger.
However, Bai Shuang did not respond to him at all. That black light instantly pierced through the round shield and defensive light shield in front of him, and finally pierced through the Deng-surnamed cultivator’s body as well.
At that moment, several figures fled in all directions simultaneously.
“Those who flee without permission, die.”
Bai Shuang snorted coldly. The void behind her trembled, and a wind-thunder light wheel emerged.
The next moment, the wind-thunder light wheel erupted, shooting out wind-thunder spikes that killed the fleeing cultivators in mid-air, dyeing the sky with blood.
This immediately subdued the remaining cultivators who wanted to run but had not yet done so. They dared not flee anymore, and their faces all became extremely ugly.
They had all realised that these two great demons intended to use them as bait to test the path.
Though furious inside, they were powerless against these two formidable great demons.
“Very good, you are very obedient.”
The wind-thunder light wheel behind Bai Shuang disappeared, and her face once again showed a stunning smile, as if she were harmless.
But her smile made the cultivators feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, chilling their hearts.
“You, go over there.”
This time, Bai Shuang pointed at another cultivator.
That cultivator trembled all over. Then, his somewhat plump human head suddenly became fat and big-eared, revealing a wild boar’s head with long tusks.
“Senior, I am not human. I am also a demon.”
“For the sake of being fellow demons, can you let me go?”
The wild boar demon looked at Bai Shuang with a fawning expression.
Upon hearing this, Mo Fan shook his head inwardly, thinking, “Of all things, why be a pig demon? Is this not walking right into Bai Shuang’s trap?”
Sure enough, upon seeing that this fellow was a pig demon, the smile on Bai Shuang’s face disappeared again. She said faintly, “Who is fellow with you?
It is you. Hurry up and go, or I will help you.”
Upon hearing this, the wild boar demon was so scared that his three souls nearly lost seven spirits. He felt his legs weaken a bit, but after swallowing saliva, he steeled his heart and immediately floated towards the mountain path ahead.
As the wild boar demon moved, the surrounding cultivators all breathed a sigh of relief.
They knew well that if the wild boar demon died, the next one would be one of them.
Mo Fan and Bai Shuang also looked at the wild boar demon, only to see that nothing happened after it landed on the mountain path.
The wild boar demon, who had been on edge, was stunned. After confirming there was no danger on the mountain path, it burst into laughter, “I am fine, I am fine.”
Saying that, the wild boar demon disregarded everything and dashed up the mountain path, soon disappearing completely from everyone’s view.
“…”
Mo Fan and Bai Shuang exchanged glances, both speechless.
“It seems we overthought it.”
Bai Shuang sighed, then looked at the surrounding cultivators and said calmly, “Alright, if you want to go up the mountain, hurry up. Otherwise, when the dragon-blood creatures attack again, you will be in trouble.”
Upon hearing this, the cultivators’ faces changed, and they all rushed forward onto the mountain path, soon vanishing completely.
But just after all these cultivators disappeared far along the mountain path, faint blood mist suddenly surged on the originally calm path. Moreover, this blood mist began to grow denser, as if about to completely shroud the entire mountain path.
Seeing this, Mo Fan’s gaze immediately sharpened.
“It seems our considerations were correct. The danger has begun.”
Bai Shuang grinned, then added, “Since we have drawn out the hidden danger, stinky little brother, now it is your turn to perform.”
