Chapter 274

Chapter 273 Showing Off

As the ten-person team ventured deeper into the area, it grew increasingly late.

Occasionally, a faint ray of light would filter through the dark branches and leaves, casting a slanted shadow.

The leader, Red Tiger, said, “Gentlemen, if we go another twenty miles, we will reach the gathering place of the demon-hunting team. We can not only rest, but also replenish our resources. After tonight, we will go deep into the Black Forest.”

Xu Changqing immediately asked, “How far is it from Huang Yuanhua’s cave?”

If I had the strength of a Golden Core cultivator, I would have flown there long ago.

While following the team is safe, it’s really slow in terms of speed and efficiency.

Chi Hu said calmly, “If we don’t stop for a moment, we can arrive around midnight. But for safety reasons, I suggest we don’t do that.”

Another temporary team member, Ling Mo, couldn’t help but ask, “Why?”

Red Tiger said with a half-smile, “The Black Forest at night is ten times more terrifying than during the day.”

During the day, there is little sunlight, and at night it becomes a completely dark area.

Although cultivators possess various abilities.

For example, night vision, spiritual sense, and teleportation techniques can greatly reduce the risk of danger.

The problem is that at night, the Black Forest is filled with a sinister miasma called Shadow Miasma, which suppresses anything that glows.

Furthermore, even the range of spiritual scanning is only one-third of that during the day.

According to the “Tales of the Black Forest,” a kind of extremely yin spiritual plant called Illusionary Mica appears at night. It releases hallucinogenic gas, which causes everything within a certain range to become distorted and even change its appearance.

For example, there was originally a black-scaled snake in front of you.

However, due to the hallucinogenic gas of the mica, it can be mistaken for a tree.

Some people, while walking, are swallowed by monsters like the Ink-Scaled Serpent.

Of course, this is only the threat posed by the environment.

At night, even more powerful Inkscale Serpents will appear, and there may even be packs of Nightmare Wolves.

If you’re unlucky, you might encounter Spirit-Eating Moths that specifically feed on your life essence. They often appear in numbers of thousands, and there have been instances where Foundation Establishment cultivators have been devoured in an instant, leaving only their skeletons.

hiss!

After hearing this, Xu Changqing and his four companions couldn’t help but gasp.

At this moment, Vice Captain Zhang Laizi suddenly spoke up: “In fact, the most dangerous thing in the Black Forest is often not monsters or the environment, but…”

Ling Mo couldn’t help but press further: “And what?”

Zhang Laizi said seriously, “Heretical cultivator!”

These two words silenced everyone.

Those who were initially curious about the night all changed their expressions drastically.

If possible, people would rather encounter monsters, at least they can see and touch them.

Evil cultivators are often difficult to guard against. Not only do they possess a variety of evil arts, but these individuals can also disguise themselves as normal cultivators and infiltrate the population to cause trouble.

Gawoo~

Gawoo~

Gawoo~

Suddenly, several fire crows in the sky let out hoarse cries.

Xu Changqing’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately switched to shared vision, his face darkening instantly.

It is important to know that fire crows have exceptional eyesight; they can see not only at night but also detect heat sources.

Now, from the perspective of these fire crows, Xu Changqing was shocked to discover that there were countless moving heat sources all around him.

The number… is at least more than twenty.

This time, Xu Changqing didn’t remain silent and immediately warned, “Something’s approaching, and there are many of them!”

“What?” Chi Hu and the others exchanged glances, then frantically scanned the area with their spiritual senses.

However, due to environmental factors in the Black Forest, its area is only half of what it used to be.

At this moment, the blue-backed wolf beneath him seemed to sense something. It first sniffed the air, then tilted its head back and let out a sharp howl: “Awoo~”

“Awoo~”

“Awoo~”

“Awoooooo~”

Soon, the howls of wolves echoed all around them.

The sound was shrill and piercing, sending chills down one’s spine.

Clearly, they were surrounded by wolves.

Red Tiger said with a gloomy face: “Didn’t the old cripple say that there were only these two blue-backed wolves left?”

Xu Changqing sneered, “I’m afraid he only caught these two!”

Ling Mo immediately asked, “What do we do now?”

Chi Hu pointed ahead and replied, “In another ten miles, we will reach the gathering place of the demon-hunting team. At that time, no matter how many Green-backed Wolves there are, they will all die.”

The meaning of these words is self-evident.

They had no intention of fighting these blue-backed wolves, but rather wanted to reach the gathering place of the demon-hunting team before it got completely dark, as that would be safer.

No one objected to this; in fact, everyone was eager to do so.

However, this time, the one leading the way, or rather, clearing the way, was no longer Captain Chi Hu.

Instead, he went to the back of the group to stay behind.

Vice Captain Zhang Laizi, on the other hand, was in the lead, clearing the way on his flywheel.

At this moment, everyone’s means of transportation, whether land-based spirit beasts or flying paper cranes, will be used at their maximum speed.

But as he ran, the two blue-backed wolves under his legs suddenly stiffened, then began to tremble, as if they had encountered something terrifying.

This sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard.

Xu Changqing was alright; his reaction was the fastest of all. He grabbed Ya Da and took to the air.

Zhou Cui, a female member of the Red Tiger Squad sitting in front, was thrown out of the room.

Fortunately, Vice Captain Zhang Laizi reacted quickly and caught her in his arms.

Just then, a blue-backed wolf darted out from the bushes nearby.

It is larger than a regular blue-backed wolf.

It is 6 to 7 meters long and about 2 to 3 meters tall at the shoulder.

My dear reader, there’s more to reading—even more exciting content awaits!

The blue hair on its back is even thicker and brighter, like the deep blue waters of a lake.

The hair on the abdomen and inner sides of the limbs is silver-gray, giving it a noble and majestic appearance.

The tail has long hairs with black tips, resembling a black flag fluttering in the wind.

Its head was broad and thick, its mouth was like a gaping maw, and its fangs were sharp and long, gleaming with a chilling light.

Its eyes were golden, like two dazzling gems, radiating a fierce light.

“This…this is the Blueback Wolf King!”

“Most ordinary blue-backed wolves live for several decades to over a hundred years, while wolf kings live for at least three hundred years!”

“Look at its ears, they’re pointed and large, like iron towers, with spiral hairs all around them. Each spiral adds a ring for every hundred years, and if it has more than five rings, it means it’s… lived for five hundred years!”

Everyone knew that the Blueback Wolves had come looking for their clansmen.

Unexpectedly, the first one to appear was a wolf king that had lived for five hundred years.

At this moment, they were less than three meters away from Zhang Laizi and Zhou Cui.

As the wolf king opened its blood-red maw, its sharp fangs drew ever closer.

The two women could smell the blood emanating from each other’s mouths, and their pupils dilated violently.

Chi Hu and the others reacted and immediately rushed up to rescue the people.

But we haven’t gotten close yet.

Pfft!

Suddenly, a crimson ray containing extreme heat flashed by.

The enormous and ferocious wolf head melted into mud in front of everyone.

With a “poof,” blood splattered all over the two women.

The headless wolf king’s body scraped past them and crashed heavily to the ground.

It might not be completely dead, as it still twitches occasionally, but it no longer has the ability to harm people.

The wolf king, who had lived for five hundred years, was killed in a single blow.

Still shaken, everyone looked up toward the source of the crimson ray.

Then they saw Zhu Rong, a temporary team member, floating in the air with a fat fire crow in her left hand, and the terrifying heat of the distorted air still lingering on her right index finger.

Xu Changqing was secretly pleased with himself for showing off, but he remained outwardly cold: “What are you standing there for? Let’s go!”
