"We made do with the night here last night, which was already our limit. To have any more hope would be no different from suicide."

Hua Caiyan was already unhappy, and his rejection made her want to give up: "Then tell me, what should we do? We'll do as you say!"

Yun Chu'an looked at her: "Has Fifth Sister not paid attention to some safer and more secluded places?"

The vixen rolled her eyes: "Of course I've noticed. These places have all been built into family sanctuaries. Where do you think these places came from? I painstakingly searched for them one by one."

"Now that these places are unusable because of my second sister, I can't find a new answer right away."

Well, it seems we can't count on her either. With a sigh, Yun Chu'an could only turn to Guangzhi and the other demons: "Do you know of any relatively hidden and safe places that can evade the snake demons' searches?"

The demon cultivators looked at each other in bewilderment, and then suggested a few locations. Qi Along even proposed that they should retreat to their former home as bear demons.

Yun Chuan inquired in detail whether these places had abundant supplies or unique natural barriers, and the answer was no.

He took out the map again, compared it, and finally shook his head and sighed: "Not good enough, not safe enough. Since we don't have enough supplies, we will inevitably have to go out and about. And these places don't have natural barriers. If the revenge team sent by Second Sister pays a little attention, they will probably be able to find out where we are."

The demon cultivators retreated dejectedly, knowing their suggestion was unreliable, and dared not say anything more for a moment.

Seeing everyone's heavy mood, Liu Mengshen tentatively suggested, "Why don't we leave the mountains and go to the plains where the human race lives, or even some towns where ordinary people live, to buy some houses and hide there for the time being?"

"Wouldn't it be safer if no one knew?"

She said this, her naive fantasy making Yun Chu'an both laugh and cry: "That's even more impossible. In order to block Yan Shui Yi, the snake demons have already blocked the way out of the mountain, and now they will definitely send a large number of people to guard every road out of the mountain."

"If we go out now, wouldn't that be like walking into a trap? We don't even know if Second Sister has revealed all our information, or if the original code still works... uh... uh... wait!"

Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed into his mind, making him tremble with excitement.

Hua Caiyan straightened up, looking puzzled: "What's wrong with you?"

"Everyone, I have a bold plan," he said, his face flushing slightly. After thinking it over, he looked at Hua Caiyan, knowing that she was the one he could talk to most here, and persuading her was the most crucial thing. "Fifth Sister, think about it, given how much the Snake Demon Clan values ​​Yan Shuiyi, they are even willing to close the mountain and offend most of the originally neutral mountain cultivator families in order to capture her."

"So it's obvious that they've all come out in full force to block her way out of the mountain, right?"

These days, although they were forced to live in the same room as Yan Shui and others and had no chance to go out, this also gave them the opportunity to communicate with her fully. They all realized that the snake demon family's regard for this woman was probably at an extremely high level.

Chapter 138 The darkest place is under the lamp!

Across from her, Hua Caiyan nodded: "Yes, so what's wrong?"

Yun Chu'an slapped his thigh: "The fact that they've all come out means that the area near their house is the most vulnerable right now. We can just hide in the area near their house to take refuge!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked, and Hua Caiyan's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief: "Are you crazy? That's their lair! Aren't you just walking into a trap?!"

Yun Chu'an's eyes were burning, and the more she thought about it, the more confident she became: "I don't think so, Fifth Sister. Look at the map. According to the previous information, the snake demons had only been in these mountains for a short time when they defeated several local big families and then took over all their territories."

He spread out a map and drew several circles on it with his finger, marking several hills: "Fifth Sister, look, here, here, and here, all these hills combined probably cover tens of thousands of square miles of land."

“I don’t believe that they could achieve complete control over their territory in such a short time, with every small hill and every subjugated family being completely devoted to them. In fact, even those deeply rooted old families are too lazy to manage or bother with some of the remote and desolate hills in their territories. Fifth Sister, don’t you agree?”

Hua Caiyan nodded blankly, thinking of the scattered hills and valleys near the Huai Shan family's territory, and suddenly felt that it made a lot of sense. She couldn't refute it: "Indeed, especially now that they've come out in full force, their control over the surrounding area is definitely even weaker..."

The most typical example is Uvi, the Gray Wolf King, and his little family. They live on the fringes of their Huai Mountain family, but no one in the family cares about them and lets them fend for themselves.

If these guys hadn't suddenly come up to Huai Mountain and beaten up those bandits, probably no one would have given them a second glance until the family was wiped out.

Yun Chu'an smirked and said, "Anyway, they have allies everywhere. These guys' search teams are wandering all over the mountains, so nowhere is safe."

"Why not give it a try? The darkest place might be right under the lamp."

Hua Caiyan's heart pounded. The thought that they would instead follow in the footsteps of their traitorous second sister and seek refuge near the lair of the Huang Mang family, who were already their enemies, made her feel that the plan was inexplicably crazy and absurd.

And, it's exciting!

She was quite excited, her heart filled with anticipation, and she couldn't imagine what exciting experiences awaited her next.

“Okay!” Her face flushed, but this time it wasn’t from shyness, but from excitement. “Perfect timing, my skills in concealment and disguise will be most effective in doing this kind of thing.”

"Let's do it, Chu'an. Let's go, we're heading to the Yellow Python Clan's lair!"

Below, Uvi and Guangzhi exchanged a glance, both agreeing that the plan was utterly insane. But since their master had made the decision, they had no choice but to obey.

The group sprang into action and set off immediately. Since they didn't have much to pack, they marched in a grand procession toward the Yellow Python Clan's lair.

Even if you beat my second sister to death, she would never have imagined that the former family members she hated so much and wanted to take revenge on would actually use the area near her new family as a new refuge.

However, Yun Chu'an was just that audacious. Moreover, Hua Caiyan was particularly skilled in concealment and reconnaissance, which further boosted his confidence.

So when the entire Huangmang family did indeed come out to hunt down Yan Shuiyi, this team, whose members were all below the Foundation Establishment stage, arrived at the edge of the Huangmang family's territory without incident, without any major incidents.

They certainly dared not venture into the true heartland, as such an act would be tantamount to suicide. They only dared to seek out some hilltops and valleys in remote areas, attempting to set up camp and rest.

As Yun Chuan had predicted, although the Huang Mang family was powerful, the local strongmen could not always prevail. Even though they defeated the original local powerful families with their domineering strength, the latter were only exiled and not completely wiped out. They still had some supporters and allies in these mountains.

In order to gain a foothold in these mountains, the snake demon family has many things to do, such as winning over new allies, promising benefits and obligations, eliminating the pursuers from Zhao, and retaliating against former enemies, and so on.

Not to mention that they also have to deal with troubles from the Qingyun Sect and the Buddhist sect. There are just too many things to deal with, and they have absolutely no time or energy to take care of these minor details in the family's new territory.

At most, they would send some junior disciples who were not very powerful and whose status in the family was relatively marginal to manage things, as long as they didn't cause any trouble, and they didn't expect any stable income.

This gave them an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

That night, on the outskirts of the Yellow Python Clan's territory, in an inconspicuous little ravine.

The meter-deep grass served as a natural cover, and the little rat demon on guard duty sat dozing in the grass, clutching his knife.

This is a typical yellow-haired rat, and it hasn't even figured out how to transform properly. It doesn't look very human at all, and it's more like a large, standing rat. At most, its claws are a little more flexible, and it can grasp simple tools, so it can barely be considered to have a human-like appearance.

At this moment, this lazy and gluttonous rat demon sentinel is here without any vigilance, keeping watch for possible enemies.

This attitude is so strong that even attackers with lower cultivation levels than him might not be able to defend against it, let alone tonight's enemies, whose cultivation levels are all higher than his!

Fiery red iridescent colors drifted through the grass, and a gentle breeze stirred up ripples across the meadow.

The little mouse demon was completely unaware of what was happening. When he woke up from his sleep, he was horrified to find that his hands and feet were bound, his spiritual power was blocked, and he couldn't exert any strength at all!

Beside him, a short, pretty girl with pigtails and wearing a red backless ball gown was clapping her hands in the moonlight, as if she had only done a trivial thing: "The last sentry post is done. These rats didn't need me to do them myself. You were too cautious!"

She spoke lazily, not caring at all that the rat demon heard her. The rat demon, who had just been dozing off, opened its eyes wide and looked behind it. Then it saw a strange group of thirty or forty people, including humans, wolf demons, bear demons, and zombies, marching in from the end of the bushes. They were carrying several rat demons that were also tied up!

Chapter 139 Yellow-haired Mouse Sets Up a Sniper Rifle

Instantly, the little demon's eyes were filled with darkness.

It's over. My family is about to face annihilation...

The group that arrived was none other than Yun Chu'an and his party. They had a relatively safe journey and arrived at the outskirts of the Huang Mang family's territory without any major incidents. After a brief reconnaissance, they quickly identified the most suitable target.

A family of field mice living at the bottom of a mountain valley.

This demon cultivator family not only lives in a secluded and difficult-to-discover location, but also has a small number of members and weak strength. Therefore, even with their current team, they can ensure that everything is completed silently without leaving any trace.

Now is the time for them to act.

"This just proves how capable you are, Fifth Sister. If it were us, who knows how many troubles we would have caused."

Yun Chu'an flattered Hua Caiyan, and she smiled and retorted, "You're so glib."

But he had no intention of flirting with her. After calming the fox down, he immediately turned around, his expression serious, and ordered his men behind him, "Uvi, listen up, I'm about to make the following arrangements."

The burly Gray Wolf King, half-human, half-wolf in form, stepped forward and listened attentively. Based on their reconnaissance during the day, Yun Chu'an arranged for him and Qi A'long to each lead a team to block the only way into the mountain pass, ensuring that not a single rat would escape once the battle began.

The two men accepted the order and led their respective weaker tribesmen to block the roads, while he, along with Hua Caiyan, Liu Mengshen, Qi Qiao, and Guangzhi, led several of the most elite bear and wolf demons into the deepest part of this mountain valley to find the main force of the rat demons.

Most of the rat demons here are fast asleep in small caves, burrows they dug themselves. Even though they have managed to take human form, these guys haven't changed their old habits; they're perfectly content to make do in the caves.

However, this does not prevent them from facing a crushing defeat tonight.

There are thirteen caves in total. Some of the sleeping rat demons inside are weak and easy to deal with. They tied them all up with almost no effort.

However, the closer you get to the larger caves, the higher the cultivation level of the cultivators inside, and the greater the risk.

Finally, as they approached the largest and deepest cave in the center and attempted to kidnap someone, a chaotic aura emanated from the depths of the cave, followed by a voice that was almost furious: "Who dares to disturb my family!"

With this roar, a huge figure flew out from it. It was a giant man, or rather, a giant rat, who was nearly three meters tall!

He also had the general appearance of a rat-headed human body, with bulging muscles on his shoulders and upper arms, and dry, yellow hair, making him look terrifying.

Most astonishingly, he held a massive golden mace in his hand, and with his roar, blinding electric light began to flash from the mace, illuminating the surroundings!

Yun Chu'an glanced at it and was immediately surprised. This guy's cultivation level had actually reached the seventh level of Qi Refining!

"Be careful, the opponent is very strong, you can't fight them head-on!"

He called out, their pre-arranged signal. Upon hearing this, Hua Caiyan, who had been cautiously preparing to sneak in, turned and ran. The fiery red ribbons on both sides of her sleeves flowed like water plants, and then she leaped into the air, her body disappearing into the grass like a fish in water. In the blink of an eye, she vanished without a trace.

The giant lightning rat, at the seventh level of Qi Refining, ignored her escape. He was unaware of Hua Caiyan's strength; in his eyes, she was just a seemingly petite human woman who could be considered a threat.

Upon seeing Yun Chu'an, the only male among them, standing in the very center of the group, he roared, wielding his hammer and manipulating lightning as he charged straight at him!

Yun Chu'an retreated repeatedly, ending up at the back, looking like a rat fleeing for its life. This appearance was so similar to how these rats usually ran away. Instantly, the other rats in the cave, who had been awakened, became excited, shouting and grabbing their weapons to chase after him.

Some rats chased after him, but a few special rat demons, carrying short bows, did not pursue him directly.

After emerging from the cave, they skillfully climbed to the nearby hillside or the top of a tree branch, nocked seven or eight arrows at once onto their short bows, chanted incantations to ignite the arrowheads, and then fired them at him like machine guns!

Suddenly, he became the target of all the enemies' combined fire. Realizing the danger of the arrow, Yun Chu'an felt a chill run down his spine and, without hesitation, quickly activated the bracelet Zhu Yunqing had bought for him!

As he chanted the incantation and channeled in some activating spiritual energy, an invisible spiritual barrier immediately protected his body. The flaming arrows that shot at him were deflected and could not harm him in the slightest.

He breathed a sigh of relief. Just as Zhu Yunqing had said, the bracelet on his wrist was only slightly slow to react, but if it anticipated the enemy's attack in advance and activated it ahead of time, it would be enough to block most of the attacks.

Just like now, before the spiritual energy stored in the bracelet runs out, he can stand here and let these rats shoot at him like a storm without getting hurt in the slightest!

"Go to hell, you bastard!"

The deep roar was almost upon them again in the blink of an eye. The three-meter-tall giant rat swung its golden mace, golden lightning flashing on it, and smashed it down on Yun Chuan's head!

He dared not take this attack head-on like he would the rockets, so he quickly used his movement skills to run away, shouting as he ran, "Guangzhi, go and kill those arrow-shooting rats!"

"it is good!"

The wolf demon wielding a flaming double-edged scimitar let out a low growl, its body nimbly leaping and rolling, dodging the rat demon minions blocking its way, and in no time approaching the wolf demons with bows.

Although it seems rather inappropriate to send a wolf to deal with mice, Yun Chu'an has no one else available at the moment, so he has no choice but to rely on him to catch the mice!

Fortunately, the wolf demon lived up to expectations. Its body was covered in flames, turning into afterimages. In a few dashes, it swiftly struck down the rats, one by one, and their heads fell to the ground. Several rats threw away their short bows and tried to escape in panic, but it caught up with them one after another and chopped off their heads!

Meanwhile, the giant rat's pursuit of Yun Chu'an continued. The rat's eyes were bloodshot, and the more Yun Chu'an gave orders, the more convinced it became that this man was the leader of the attacking enemy. Therefore, as long as it killed him, the enemy would naturally collapse, and everything would be fine!

Chapter 140 Hua Caiyan's Signature Skill (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Although the giant rat was bulky and its attacks were powerful, its cultivation level was far superior to Yun Chu'an's. Even in its current state, it still managed to chase Yun Chu'an around in a sorry state, constantly putting him in danger.

Qi Qiao tried to stop the giant rat's actions, but she had only just jumped up and her outstretched arms hadn't even hit its head when the rat punched her. In an instant, the zombie was sent flying dozens of meters away, landing in the grass further away, and for a moment it was almost unable to move.

Even though she was a zombie with defensive abilities, especially resistant to pure brute force attacks, she could hardly withstand a heavy blow from an enemy who was three minor realms higher!

Beside him, Liu Mengshen watched anxiously, and couldn't help but want to raise her hand and send out willow branches to bind the giant rat, thus resolving Yun Chuan's predicament.

Seeing her movement, Yun Chu'an quickly shouted, "Don't move, Meng Shen! Wait for my command!"

As he spoke, he suddenly used the "Shrinking the Earth to an Inch" technique and fled to the bushes further away, where he saw a red light, which was the signal that Hua Caiyan had given him.

Almost immediately, the golden mace, crackling with golden lightning, crashed to the ground, sending earth and rocks flying and creating a huge crater more than two meters deep in front of it!

"A disgusting enemy, like a fly!"

The giant rat cursed, its attack missing by a hair's breadth, which fueled its rage even more. Fortunately, the damage to its body wasn't too great, and it lifted its foot to continue its pursuit.

Before them lay a thicket of grass, and there, Yun Chu'an suddenly rolled over and roared, "Now, Sixth Sister!"

With a shout, Liu Mengshen, who had been patiently waiting and was already impatient, suddenly raised her hand, chanted an incantation and made a hand seal. In an instant, countless willow branches rose from below and wrapped around the giant rat's legs!

She went all out, stretching her hands forward and shooting out two willow branches from her sleeves below her wrists, instantly binding the giant rat's arms and rendering him unable to move!

"A weak thing!"

The giant rat let out a savage laugh, its muscles bulging and swelling all over its body. In an instant, its strength more than doubled. Then, it suddenly raised its foot, and the willow branches that were rising from the ground were uprooted!

"go to hell!"

His thick arms swung around, and Liu Mengshen's expression immediately changed. It was clearly she who had launched the willow branch, but now it was out of her control!
