Chapter 34 Wolf Demon Sneak Attack
In front of the swamp was a meadow.
This grassland stretches for hundreds of kilometers and extends as far as the eye can see.
Although the entire grassland now looks lush and green, full of life, and compared to the swamp they had just crossed, this grassland seems completely safe.
However, having already experienced the terrifying disappearance of their disciples, how could the Sword Sect dare to be careless?
Ding Mo gave the order: Set up camp on the outskirts of the grassland tonight.
Everyone worked together seamlessly, and their efficiency was surprisingly high.
By the time it was completely dark, the campsite had been largely set up.
Ding Mo still set up a simple barrier around the camp to defend against wild beasts.
The disciples who went out to scout returned and reported that there were likely many wolf demons and snake demons on the grassland, and they needed to be wary of their nighttime attacks. As for the lesser demons such as rat demons and rabbit demons, they were not a major concern because of their low attack power.
Lin Zhifeng, Lin Jun, and the others who had just caused trouble were much more well-behaved this time. No one was in the mood to hunt wild game like they had last time.
Ding Mo specially arranged for ten disciples to patrol at night, while also warning the others to remain vigilant at all times.
Everyone felt that a monster was likely to launch a sneak attack tonight.
Since everyone has come into this secret realm to seek opportunities, they are all prepared to endure hardship and fatigue. Sacrificing some sleep is not a big deal for Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
It wasn't until the moon rose that night that everyone realized it was a full moon.
So it seems that the appearance of wolf demons at night is now a foregone conclusion.
Since Lin Zhifeng wasn't on patrol duty, he found a corner in the camp and quietly absorbed the inheritance he had received.
During this journey to the secret realm, Lin Zhifeng was not only fortunate enough to receive an inheritance, but also acquired a considerable number of thousand-year-old spiritual herbs. In addition, the spiritual herbs, flowers, and ores they had gathered along the way had earned him numerous bonuses of luck from the system.
If this pace continues, his Koi Fish skill can be upgraded again before he even leaves the secret realm.
The wolf demons attacked just past midnight. Thanks to Ding Mo's instructions, the disciples of the Sword Sect were prepared in advance.
Therefore, when countless green eyes appeared around the camp, everyone felt a sense of relief, as if "we've finally arrived."
The wolf demons came in packs.
In the pitch-black night, their green eyes gleamed with an eerie light. Anyone with low cultivation would likely feel fear upon seeing these glowing green eyes even before the battle began.
Unfortunately, this time the wolf demons provoked the disciples of the Sword Sect. These people are just normal people!
Elite disciples like Ding Mo are known for their consistently calm demeanor. No matter what they encounter, they treat it as a valuable learning experience. Lin Jun and his group, on the other hand, are the type who love a good show. When faced with a wolf pack attack, their thoughts are filled with excitement, thrill, and exhilaration… and what they might gain from the wolves.
The wolf demons circled around the Sword Sect's camp, observing for quite some time. The first wave of wolf demons that came to probe were blasted to smithereens by the barrier that Ding Mo had previously set up.
However, there were simply too many wolf demons; at least several thousand green-eyed ones had arrived.
Ding Mo summoned his disciples for an emergency assembly.
"The barrier won't last much longer. Everyone, be ready to fight at any time," Ding Mo said.
All the disciples drew their natal spirit swords, ready to fight at any moment.
Before long, the barrier was completely breached. A pack of bipedal, enormous wolf demons, baring their sharp fangs, lunged fiercely at the Sword Sect disciples.
The disciples of the Sword Sect quickly drew their swords to meet the attack.
In terms of intelligence and cultivation, the Sword Sect disciples are slightly superior; however, in terms of physical strength and attack power, the wolf demons have the advantage. Moreover, the number of wolf demons is ten times that of the Sword Sect disciples, so when the two sides clashed, the Sword Sect was somewhat overwhelmed.
Of course, this is also because Ding Mo has not yet made a move.
The Sword Sect intended to train its disciples during this journey through the secret realm. Therefore, unless it was extremely dangerous, Ding Mo generally wouldn't immediately intervene, but instead stood behind them to protect them.
He would only appear to lend a helping hand if any disciple was seriously injured or in mortal danger. Otherwise, he would simply fly high on his sword, patrolling back and forth.
In addition, Ding Mo had an even more important task to do: he was searching for the Wolf King.
Wolf demons are social animals, so there must be a wolf king in their pack. However, the wolf king in this pack is very cunning. He did not reveal his identity as the wolf king at the first opportunity. Instead, he hid in the pack, waiting for the right moment to strike.
For a wolf king of such a lowly creature to have such cunning thoughts is already an extraordinary achievement.
However, its opponent is Ding Mo. This highly intelligent "machine" will not give anyone the opportunity to resort to trickery.
Soon, Ding Mo discovered what appeared to be the wolf king amidst the chaotic battle between humans and werewolves.
The wolf king's appearance was not significantly different from that of an ordinary wolf demon, except that it had evolved a third eye in the space between its eyebrows.
Just now, in order to conceal itself, the wolf king did not open its third eye. Under the cover of darkness, it hid very successfully, even deceiving Ding Mo.
Ding Mo surveyed the battlefield from above and discovered something definite wrong—around a wolf demon, disciples of the Sword Sect were constantly being injured. This extraordinary attack power was something no ordinary wolf demon could possess.
And that's how the wolf demon was exposed.
When Ding Mo attacked him from the air on his sword, it knew it had been discovered. So it stopped pretending and revealed its third eye.
In an instant, the wolf king's strength more than doubled.
It fought Ding Mo. The power of their battle was immense, even affecting the people and demons in the surrounding area.
The disciples of the Sword Sect and the wolf demon all retreated and dodged.
In the end, Ding Mo prevailed and killed the Wolf King with his sword.
After the wolf king died, a demon beast's crystal core was actually dug out from its body.
These crystal cores are the main material for refining Beast Pet Pills, and they can only be found in the bodies of high-level demonic beasts.
Ding Mo has really struck gold! He can exchange this beast core for a large sum of spirit stones at the shop.
The disciples had already defeated their opponents, and now that they had witnessed Ding Mo's victory, they cheered and applauded him.
Of course, Lin Zhifeng, who was leading the cheering, was imitating the way his original global support group cheered. Lin Jun and the others followed his example and found it novel and interesting; the conservative elite disciples thought they were too noisy and were too embarrassed to join in.
But that's how humans are; your bottom line will keep getting lowered by the influence of those around you.
They've only been hanging out together for a few days, and although these elite disciples' behavior is still very rigid and they haven't been influenced by them, their mental resilience has clearly improved significantly.
Ding Mo was a little embarrassed by being surrounded by people, but he always managed to control his expression well and maintain his dignity as a senior martial uncle.
As dawn broke, everyone finished disposing of the wolf demon's corpse and prepared to begin a new day of exploration.
The first wave of monstrous beasts that dared to test their strength against humans in the grasslands has been completely wiped out. Who will be the second wave? Everyone is eagerly anticipating the answer.
The Sword Sect disciples continued their previous tactics from the swamp, conducting a thorough, group-based search.
Although the meadow is lush with vegetation, it's mostly filled with weeds. The delicate medicinal herbs, with their specific growing requirements, are unable to compete with these weeds.
Therefore, even someone like Lin Zhifeng, who has a 20% luck bonus, only managed to find a spiritual herb by sheer chance. Moreover, the quality of the spiritual herbs produced here is vastly different from those obtained before.
If even Lin Zhifeng, this lucky guy, is like this, you can imagine how Lin Jun and the others are.
They searched for most of the day, but found almost nothing of spiritual flowers and herbs, only hunting a lot of rabbit demons and field mouse demons.
They packed the monster corpses into storage bags, planning to have some of them cooked by the chefs at the Treasure Pavilion and then enjoy them themselves; the majority would be sold to the Treasure Pavilion in exchange for spirit stones.
Well, at least it's some income, isn't it?
