840: Chapter 540 840: Chapter 540 “Is this…
the Western Wolf Demons that Cai Xiangxiang encountered in her hometown?” Ye Qiu asked.
“I don’t know, we can’t see a village down there!” Ye Shi shook his head.
They were using Magical Treasures high above and observing with Divine Sense; below them lay a forest covered in heavy snow.
In this forest, Western Wolf Demons hid, planning to build houses to live through the harsh winter instead of burrowing into the snow.
The Western Wolf Demons had transformed into humans, living like humans, residing in houses like humans.
They didn’t need fire for warmth, perhaps because they were afraid of fire.
“Shall we exterminate these Western Wolf Demons?”
Ye Qiu felt it was time to be a hero, to show Cai Xiangxiang that he was no less than any other man!
“Let’s wait and see!
There are only a few of us, and there are more than a thousand Western Wolf Demons.
Even a swarm attack could exhaust us to death!”
Ye Shi’s words gained the support of his companions who all nodded in agreement.
It was night, the best time for the activity of the Western Wolf Demons, and the darkness hindered their movements.
Unfamiliar with the terrain, they still didn’t know what skills the Western Wolf Demons possessed.
Ye Tian’s abilities were far superior to theirs, and yet he had still allowed them to escape?
Back then, they were only talking about a dozen Western Wolf Demons.
Later, everyone in Cai Xiangxiang’s village turned into Western Wolf Demons, totaling just over a hundred!
They had all mysteriously disappeared now.
Could it be related to the village’s Western Wolf Demons?
Ye Qiu’s heroism wasn’t supported by his companions, so they could only wait for daylight.
In the darkness, they cultivated on the Magical Treasure, silencing the howling of the Western Wolf Demons in the forest so as not to disturb their cultivation.
Dawn came later in the winter.
Their biological clocks, set by their cultivation, signaled that it was getting ready to lighten.
The group hastily ate some dry food on their Flying Treasure, opting for solid provisions over Bigu Pills and not cooking delicacies—a crude meal suited for male cultivators with no women around to take care of them.
Daylight gradually broke, and then the rising sun shone upon the snowy landscape.
Prepared for everything inside their Magical Treasure, they flew lower to get a clearer view of the overnight changes in the forest, spotting several new wooden houses.
The wooden houses were built by the Western Wolf Demons using timber from the forest.
They cleared the land by felling trees, then used the lumber to construct their homes.
The roofs, columns, and all materials were made of wood.
Overnight, they observed more than a thousand tiny new houses springing up, each only the size of a single room.
They were built strong and thick to withstand the weight of the snow.
The new houses, constructed overnight, were now covered with a layer of snow on their roofs.
Their Flying Treasure flew so low that it seemed to attract the attention of the resting Western Wolf Demons, with a thousand of them suddenly emerging from their houses!
They stood at the doors of their little houses, looking up at the sky, their eyes flashing green as they assumed attacking positions.
Between flashes of green light, blades flew upward towards the Magical Treasure, knowing for certain it was an enemy scouting them.
The people on the Flying Treasure felt the Western Wolf Demons’ attack and immediately defended their Flying Treasure, also launching an attack on the island and the Wolf Demons below!
The Flying Treasure ascended higher to avoid the enemy blades damaging it.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh,”
The sharp sounds pierced the air, and Ye Shi and Ye Qiu’s team heard them clearly.
The glare from the Western Wolf Demons’ eyes formed blades aimed at creating holes in their Magical Treasure and killing them on the spot.
The defenses produced by the Flying Treasure warded off these blade attacks while they counterattacked.
“Boom, boom, boom,” the Fireballs they shot downward exploded right above the wooden houses of the Western Wolf Demons.
The resounding noise traveled far through the sky, with the Western Wolf Demons in human form trembling, their greatest fear being fire.
The blaze reaching their houses meant that their efforts throughout the night had gone in vain.
Most crucially, it was a forest, and should fire consume the woods, they would roast!
The Western Wolf Demons, relieved that it was winter and snow was everywhere, watched the Fireballs explode above their homes, melting only the snow on the roofs.
To protect themselves and their homes, the Western Wolf Demons continued to launch attacks from their eyes toward the humans in the air above, and they also threw snow from the ground around their houses into the air.
This action served only one purpose: meeting the Fireballs with snow merely turned it into rainwater, harmless to their houses, forest, and the Western Wolf Demons themselves.
Ye Shi and his team discerned that the Western Wolf Demons feared fire and blades.
They began to release blades from their Magical Treasures and also continuously tossed Fire Talismans beneath the Western Wolf Demons.
“Boom, boom, boom,”
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh,”
Then, from the Western Wolf Demons: “Ooo, ooo, ooo!”
Ye Shi and Ye Qiu’s team, leveraging the Flying Treasure high above, engaged the enemy below.
With such an advantage, just a handful of people were battling more than a thousand Western Wolf Demons.
At a stalemate, the screeching of the Wolf Demons signaled that they had indeed frightened the Western Wolf Demons!
