Yuan Shu had been hiding here for an hour, silently observing the patrol routes of the demonic guards.
The drug she had given Li Xie was not very strong, and he would probably wake up soon.
If she wanted to save them, she had to act quickly!
She did not have much time left.
However, the demonic guards patrolled strictly, and Zhai Shuo's location was still a bit too close to them.
Yuan Shu stroked her chin, reached out to pinch a Beast Attracting Pill, and flicked it toward the distant woods.
The pill struck a tree trunk and immediately shattered, releasing a strong fragrance.
The demonic beasts in the surroundings smelled this fragrance and grew restless. The commotion attracted the nearby demonic guards.
After all, this was the territory of the Falling Immortal Sect. While anxiously waiting for Li Xie, they were also on high alert for any situation around them.
Even the slightest noise in the woods would catch their attention, let alone such a huge commotion that sounded like dozens of demonic beasts going crazy!
Quick, go help! A horde of demonic beasts is attacking our men over there!
A demonic guard trotted over to report. The others' expressions changed, and ignoring their posts here, they hurriedly rushed over to help.
After all, there were only a few captives from the Falling Immortal Sect here, and they were all unconscious. Could they possibly run away on their own?
Naturally, the defense line of the demonic guards was much more important.
Yuan Shu took advantage of the moment these people were distracted by the demonic beasts to quietly approach the three.
She glanced at Su Lingxi by her feet and kicked her aside.
Turning around, she grabbed Long Yunhui's arm with one hand and Zhai Shuo's arm with the other.
Dragging the two men, she left the small grove as fast as she could.
...
An hour later, Yuan Shu dragged the two men into a secluded cave, waving her hand to sweep away their footprints along the way.
She also carefully set up a defensive array disk at the cave entrance, just in case someone suddenly discovered them and barged in before she could react.
Although Yuan Shu's attainments in formations were not high, she was good at collecting array disks.
From simple to complex, as long as she found them useful, she would collect some for emergencies.
Using an array disk was much simpler than setting up a formation herself.
An array disk was formed by a formation master expending their energy to compress a formation into a basic disk. The user only needed to inject spiritual energy into it to activate it.
Unlike setting up a formation, which required a formation master to painstakingly lay out the formation lines and set up the formation core!
Of course, the quality of the finished array disk had a lot to do with the strength of the formation master who compressed it.
Whether an array disk was good or not depended on who made it.
Yuan Shu had plenty of money in her previous life and had collected many such array disks. Taking them out for an emergency now did not make her heart ache.
Although she did not know when the Falling Immortal Sect would discover the commotion here, Yuan Shu guessed it would not be too late.
Hiding for two days and waiting for Long Yunhui and Zhai Shuo to wake up before going out would be much easier!
Unexpectedly, between the two of them, Zhai Shuo was the first to wake up.
In the cave after nightfall, only the glowing stones on the walls emitted a faint light.
Zhai Shuo's eyelids fluttered, and he slowly opened his eyes, only to see Yuan Shu sitting cross-legged in the center, deep in meditation and cultivation.
Zhai Shuo had not returned to the mountain for a long time and did not recognize Yuan Shu for a moment. When his red eyes fell on that beautiful silhouette, a flash of astonishment crossed his gaze.
Turning his head to look around, he saw Long Yunhui.
He was quite familiar with Long Yunhui. Although they had not seen each other for a long time, he still recognized him at a glance.
He moved his arm, and bursts of piercing pain came from the wounds on his body, making him break out in a cold sweat.
When he was captured by the demons, he had just suffered from cultivation deviation. The fire elemental energy was running rampant in his body, almost burning him alive!
It could be said that the demons taking him away and feeding him a unique demonic pill to suppress the rioting energy had indirectly saved his life!
He knew the demons were using his blood, but he had no way to stop them, let alone resist.
And now, he and his Third Junior Brother were both in this seemingly quiet and safe cave.
Obviously, this young woman had saved them!
Zhai Shuo felt grateful in his heart. He let out a soft breath and propped himself against the ground, trying to get up.
But after struggling several times, he flopped back onto the ground with a thud.
You are covered in wounds, so do not push yourself, okay?
A hand appeared right on time, supporting his arm and helping him sit up.
Zhai Shuo looked up and saw Yuan Shu's pretty face close at hand.
A small, fair face, long and alluring phoenix eyes, and a bright, charming smile.
Zhai Shuo's mind wandered for a moment, and he unnaturally averted his gaze.
Thank you for saving my life, miss.
Second Junior Brother, you are acting so like a stranger. Do you not consider your Seventh Junior Sister as one of your own? Yuan Shu said with a smile. As soon as her words fell, Zhai Shuo looked up in surprise.
What? Seventh Junior Sister?
That is right, I am your Seventh Junior Sister, Yuan Shu. Earlier, Third Junior Brother and I accidentally fell into a demon trap and were captured.
I only found an opportunity this evening to escape with you two senior brothers.
Yuan Shu explained casually, bringing over a basin of water from the side.
Second Junior Brother, you just woke up and your body has not recovered yet. Let me help you wipe your body.
Zhai Shuo was startled and instinctively wanted to refuse, but Yuan Shu raised her hand to stop him first.
We still need to stay in this cave for two days and wait until it is completely safe outside before we can leave. Second Junior Brother, you must take this opportunity to heal your wounds.
Therefore, you cannot refuse! Otherwise, it will not be good for your recovery.
After Yuan Shu finished speaking, she placed the water basin aside, dipped a towel in it, and wiped his face.
Zhai Shuo dodged unnaturally. Looking up and meeting Yuan Shu's disapproving eyes, he silently turned back and let Yuan Shu wipe away the dirt on his face.
A resolute and handsome face appeared in her sight, and Yuan Shu's eyes lit up.
Li Xie's previous face was indeed disguised based on Zhai Shuo's face.
But it was obvious that Zhai Shuo's skin tone was slightly darker, his facial features were deeper and more expressive, and he was more eye-catching.
The corners of Yuan Shu's mouth curled up slightly, and her gaze could not help but fall on Zhai Shuo's robust biceps.
She reached out and directly pulled open his belt!
Se-Seventh Junior Sister!
Zhai Shuo was startled and raised his hand to stop her, but because of his large movement, he gasped in pain.
Second Junior Brother, why are you so excited? Are you afraid I will take advantage of you?
Zhai Shuo looked up and met Yuan Shu's furrowed brows and disapproving eyes.
That exquisite little face bit her lip slightly, seemingly a bit aggrieved.
Frightened, Zhai Shuo quickly shook his head. It is not like that, Seventh Junior Sister. I did not mean that. I was just... just afraid you would be tired.
I am not tired.
Hearing this, a sweet smile appeared on Yuan Shu's face. Second Junior Brother, I will be gentle. Do not be afraid.
Zhai Shuo, ...
What was there for a grown man like him to be afraid of?
He was just afraid of tarnishing his Seventh Junior Sister's reputation!
Looking at Yuan Shu's posture, was she going to undress him and wash him?
But meeting Yuan Shu's serious profile, the words of refusal rolled around in his throat, and in the end, he did not say them out loud.
