Duan Gujin glanced at Wu Zian and knew immediately that he must be someone with limited experience.

He then said to Wu Zian, "Wu Zian, let me tell you, the Three-step Golden Snake hates the smell of sulfur the most. As long as we sprinkle some sulfur around our campsite, the Three-step Golden Snake won't attack us! And when we move around at other times, do not walk through areas with lots of grass! If we really have to, use a long bamboo pole to sweep ahead of us. Using a bamboo pole to sweep in front of us is called 'striking the grass to scare the snake.' If the snake is nearby, as soon as it hears the noise, it will immediately escape!"

Wu Zian furrowed his brows in thought, then asked, "Then why didn't they do this before?"

"I think maybe they were afraid of startling the Demon Beasts nearby!" Duan Gujin analyzed.

"Is that really the case?" Wu Zian was somewhat skeptical.

After a while, the person in charge distributed a long bamboo pole to every adventurer present.

He told everyone, "Later, when you're walking ahead, if there's grassland in front of you, use this long bamboo pole to strike the grass ahead! Do you hear me?"

"Got it!"

Many adventurers immediately took the long bamboo poles handed over by the person in charge and then began to sweep the bamboo poles toward the grass in front of them.

At this point, Wu Zian was convinced: "Mr. Jin, what you said is absolutely right! You're spot on!"

"That's because I've been around the worldly society for a long time!" laughed Duan Gujin merrily.

His eyes flickered; he knew that avoiding the Three-step Golden Snake wasn't difficult, but no doubt, their pace would become very slow as a result.

Moreover, using the long bamboo poles to sweep the ground would definitely attract the attention of some nearby Demon Beasts.

But since the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce had arranged it this way, he had no choice but to go along with it.

This arrangement did have one major benefit: those at the very front of the team no longer had to worry about the Three-step Golden Snake.

The group continued to move forward for several kilometers when suddenly, the team ahead stopped; they sensed a strong fluctuation in front.

Duan Gujin released his Divine Sense and soon sensed what was ahead.

When he saw that there were tens of thousands of pitch-black crows in the sky ahead, his face drastically changed.

"So many crows! Why are there so many crows here?"

His eyes flickered as his brain rapidly processed, pondering why there would be such an astonishing number of crow flocks in one place.

After a while, Wu Zian and the others also saw what had appeared in the sky ahead.

"Oh my! So many crows! Why are there so many crows here?"

The same question flashed through everyone's mind.

"Everyone get down quickly, conceal your Life Aura, don't let the crows in the sky sense it!"

At this moment, a deep voice came from the group.

Recognizing the voice as that of the person in charge, everyone immediately lay down and concealed their Life Aura, preventing the crows in the sky from discovering them.

Duan Gujin looked at the crows in the sky, with a deep frown.

After considering for a moment, he thought of a possibility, but he quickly dismissed this possibility.

He remembered a rumor he heard in his previous life, that on the Jiuzhou Continent there was a Blood Crow Demon.

This demon somehow learned a Spirit Control Technique and was able to manipulate a large flock of Blood Crows to attack enemies.

The demon used what seemed to be an endless number of Blood Crows, and their powers were not weak. With this ability alone, he was able to defeat the allied forces of many Major Sects on the Jiuzhou Continent.

But eventually, the demon disappeared from the Jiuzhou Continent, and no one knew what had become of him.

Duan Gujin looked at the dense flock of crows that appeared in the sky, and he thought of the Blood Crow Demon.

"Could it be that this large group of crows I'm seeing now is the one controlled by the Blood Crow Demon?"

After pondering for a while, Duan Gujin felt that the group of crows above his head was indeed the legendary Blood Crows.

In order to verify his suspicions, he extended his Divine Sense to lock onto some of the crows.

But after a while, he slightly shook his head.

"The crows I sense now are probably not Blood Crows; they don't have a strong Killing Aura! No, the crows I'm seeing right now could very well be ordinary crows controlled by the Blood Crow Demon. It's very possible that the current Blood Crow Demon doesn't have the power to turn ordinary crows into Blood Crows. Yes, that's a possibility!"

He thought for a while and felt that he might have encountered an as-yet unknown Blood Crow Demon.

"If there really is a Blood Crow Demon ahead, how strong is he now?"

Duan Gujin racked his brains to think about the records of the Blood Crow Demon, but after a long time, he could only helplessly shake his head.

He only had a vague impression of the name Blood Crow Demon, and moreover, it was something he had heard from others.

The reason he remembered the name was that it was the first time he knew there were people referred to as demons in this world.

What he had heard at the time was that the Blood Crow Demon was able to control a staggering number of crows to peck at others' bodies, and furthermore, the crows would get excited at the sight of blood and their strength would surge.

It was precisely because of this characteristic that the crows were called Blood Crows.

And the controller, who used these crows to cruelly kill countless innocents, was called the Blood Crow Demon.

Undoubtedly, the Blood Crow Demon was actually a Spirit Master, but he used the Spirit Manipulation Technique to harm many innocent people.

Thinking that he was about to face the Blood Crow Demon, Duan Gujin's eyes flashed, and he felt he should warn the members of the team.

If he had now encountered a Blood Crow Demon that could turn ordinary crows into Blood Crows, then what they might have to do next was to run away.

Thus, Duan Gujin's mind began to work quickly, thinking about how to make everyone present believe his words, to believe that they might soon face a demon whose power could be extremely terrifying.

"Kwah! Kwah! Kwah!"

The nearly overwhelming cacophony of crows in the sky emitted a discordant screeching, which made everyone down below feel an immense disgust and fear.

Duan Gujin listened carefully to the cacophony from the crows in the sky, and after a while, he let out a sigh of relief; he did not sense an intense Killing Aura in the cries of the crows.

Soon, the dense flock of crows in the sky flew over everyone's heads and went elsewhere.

After a while, the crows had left everyone's view.

"Great! Those annoying crows have finally left!"

The crowd breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the departure of the crows.

"Could it be that the large group of crows I just saw were merely coincidentally gathered together?"

This thought quickly flashed through his mind.
