…
The leader of them and the only one alive shouted loudly, with a creepy green poppy flower suddenly appearing on his palm. That poppy flower was made purely by his Profound Qi and looked just as alive, growing and expanding with astonishing speed on his palm.
Only within seconds, that green poppy flower had become the size of a cattail leaf, with a freezing light shining in the middle of the bud and a green light diffusing around it.
At his sway of hand, that giant poppy flower instantly flew right towards at Leylin.
That poppy flower was like an open bloody mouth. It was trying to bite Leylin right on his head, seemingly trying to swallow his entire head into its bud.
“He!”
A hissing sound of a terrifying serpent came out of Leylin body. He had quickly concentrated the streams of Profound Qi energy that he absorbed from those dead warriors, and let that energy out from all the meridians covering his whole body, which soon formed into a snake ghost shadows in front of his body.
“Rank 1 spell—Kemoyin Ghost!”
The ghost snake shadows were floating in front of his body in the scariest way, with its eyes filled with utmost endless resentment, despise and wrath to this world.
“What!”
The Leader was instantly filled with horror. He stared, dumbstruck, at the floating ghost snake shadows Leylin had in front of his body, and couldn’t help screaming.
The leader was pretty astonished. He couldn’t help but take a step back. However, that creepy poppy flower didn’t stop its move and continued to try biting on Leylins head.
“Break!”
Leylin waved his hand as if shooing a pest and sent out a web of white smoke which was tangled and concentrated with all kinds of negative energy. Those streams of negative energy combined together into a raven black snake and suddenly shot into the center of that poppy flower.
“Boom!”
That poppy flower exploded into pieces, with its freezing light suddenly splashing everywhere like a creepy firework; beautiful but strange.
“No!” The leader shouted as his body exploded and he died tragically and just like that within a moment of minutes Leylin killed a whole mercenary group.
“So weak.. or maybe I have grown much stronger..” Leylin muttered as he glanced at his stats subconsciously.
[Beep! (Berkan Lenoir) Leylin Farlier, Strength: 10.7, Agility: 9.7, Vitality: 14.1, Profound Qi: Peak Second Sky of Human Realm. Status: Healthy]
“Just a bit away from Third Sky, the previous harvest was very good.. although I used a great portion of devour energy for the empowerment of different Martial Spirit, it’s still very enriching to push my cultivation. Currently, with all my Trump Cards stacked together not even a Peak Disaster realm would be my opponent. All I need is a high level Martial Skill and this quest is completed now.”
Inside the cave, the bodies were piled up with all of their Profound Qi wiped clean.
Under the influence of Leylin’s mysterious Martial Spirit, the bodies were not only drained of all their Profound Qi, but even the blood inside the corpses had solidified within a very short time.
With all their blood solidified, the bloody smell that once filled the entire cave was not as strong as before.
Leylin kept looking at his A. I. Chip paying great attention to his movements. He was acting with great caution and moving the bushes and leaves towards the entrance of the cave slowly, inch by inch, so that the demon beasts outside would discover something strange in this place.
“I would have really enjoyed dissecting the leader to figure out the mechanism of his Martial Spirit but A. I. Chip scanning is pretty good too..”
With the roaring of the demon beasts getting more and more frequent, he sensed that God knows how many demon beasts had gathered in the valley outside the cave.
The Profound Qi he absorbed from those six fresh corpses had also rushed into his meridians, circulating his body with wave after wave of strong power.
While his meridians were processing and purifying this Profound Qi with high speed, the negative energies were smoothly dealt with.
Leylin turned his attention to the two girls and beckoned them to enter inside.
‘Should I try the power enhancing ability of my body on them? But they are not very trusted especially Mable who has prior arrangements with Kyle Crystal and although I can manipulate them, currently their usage isn’t very high..Demi is more useful… Let’s wait and see… To me talent isn’t an issue so, I would give them a chance if they fail, then so be it.’ Leylin thought to himself and sat cross legged.
Seeing him sitting and resting with both eyes closed, the other two women, Demi and Mable also looked pretty serious. They concentrated on observing the movements outside the cave.
The demon beasts were still moving inside the valley. There were even some demon beasts around their cave and they seemed to be searching for something.
Both Mable and Demi were guarding the entrance from outside and inside of the cave very nervously. They didn’t dare to take any chance to relax.
Demi was holding her dagger firmly in her hand, looking outside warily through the gaps between the bushes covering the cave entrance, fearing that some demon beast would suddenly jump in. And she also kept glancing at Leylin to see if he would act against them, currently they had no choice but to stay here despite the danger involved.
They were both aware that demon beasts had an extremely sensitive sense of smell. They were worried that those beasts might find them through the bloody smell in the air. They knew that once their cave was discovered by any of those demon beasts, they had to guard this cave no matter what the price was.
“Deng! Deng!”
A three-headed hound was coming towards them with its three giant heads shaking in the air. It seemed to have found something. Its six eyes on its three heads were scanning around as if it had discovered something unusual.
Oh, crap!
Demi suddenly changed the look on her face, grabbing her dagger even more firmly in her hand. With sweat pouring out of her palm, she focused on the three-headed hound with all of her attention and didn’t dare to move her eyes away for a second.
Demi was already extremely tense and was ready to start a fight at any time, she glanced at Leylin to see if he would help but seeing him still unmoving she was disappointed.
The three-headed hound was a Level Three demon beast, equaling a human Warrior of the Human Level, which was pretty tough to deal with.
Moreover, this demon beast possessed an extraordinarily sharp sense of smell. The bloody smell inside the cave might be able to fool other demon beasts, but it could not necessarily hide from this three-headed hound.
Due to her anxiety, Demi’s entire body became stiff and tense. Her hand which held the dagger was also shaking slightly, which meant that her Profound Qi was moving very fast through her veins and vessels.
“Aw!”
Right at that moment, a howl from the Silver Thunder Wolf came from the distance which alerted the whole valley and outmatched all the roaring and shouting of the other demon beasts.
“I am Garry Windman from the Medicine Valley. I came to the Dark Forest simply to collect medicine for myself. I have never stepped into your cave! Silver Thunder Wolf, I know you are good, but I am not afraid of you. If you continue to harass and kill my people, I will not let you go easy!” A low dark voice came from the distance.
“Aw!”
The Silver Thunder Wolf started howling again in the distance.
Hearing this howling sound, the three-headed hound, which was about to approach the cave where the three of them were hiding, suddenly stopped right there.It paused a little and quickly turned around, and started running towards the howling of the Silver Thunder Wolf in high speed.
Upon the howling of the Silver Thunder Wolf, the demon beasts gathered in the valley were also starting to take off, leaving the valley for the Silver Thunder Wolf.
The Silver Thunder Wolf and Garry Windman seemed about to have a huge fight.
Demi suddenly relaxed. She felt so weak that she sat right down on the ground with her body covered with sweat.
If only that three-headed hound had moved a little further forward, maybe even a couple of meters, then their cave would have definitely be compromised. And once that three-headed hound had discovered the cave, the other demon beasts in the valley would most definitely have followed it over here as well.
If that really happened, there was no way that the two of them could have ever escaped those demon beasts!
“Sister, are you OK?” Mable was wiping the sweat off her forehead with a handkerchief stained with blood. She also sat down on the ground with the stone wall behind her.
“It’s OK.” Demi smiled softly, but still sighed. “We were very lucky back then. If the Silver Thunder Wolf didn’t have its eyes on Garry Windman from the Medicine Valley and didn’t suddenly call for all the demon beasts to gather around it, I am afraid that we wouldn’t have been able to make it through this.”
“Yeah, I was also pretty scared just now.” Mable’s pretty face also looked quite pale. She added in a low voice, “I was even prepared to commit suicide back then.”
“Don’t ever have that thought unless we have no other options.”
“Yeah… But what about… ”
“You don’t need to worry about my intentions, you don’t have anything that might even remotely attract my attention.” Leylin suddenly opened his eyes, and said indifferently.
He then stood up looking to search through the bags and pockets of those six warriors. To see what kind of treasure they had stolen from the cave of that Silver Thunder Wolf.
The Silver Thunder Wolf is a Level Seven demon beast, a top level creature within the Dark Forest! It is said that the Silver Thunder Wolf is a highly intelligent creature, and that it has killed dozens of high level warriors in the Dark Forest. It must have collected many treasures from those dead warriors and stored them inside its cave. The treasures those warriors have stolen must be extraordinary.
Demi and Mable knew it but they didn’t act or object at all.
“It’s good that you aren’t greedy, obviously I didn’t expect any less from the granddaughter of General of the Eagle Army of the Fire Empire, The Iron Eagle King Madden Halifax!” Leylin said with a cool voice.
