Chapter 20: The Hengduan Mountains (3)

In the Hengduan Mountains, the sunlight is blocked by the trees in the mountains, casting a faint shadow on the ground, and the mountains are exceptionally refreshing, without the slightest feeling of heat that should be in summer, which is very comfortable. At this time, it was noon, and looking at the wisps of sunlight leaking from the leaves on his body, a sense of sleepiness would rise in his heart, and he just wanted to rest well, and he didn't want to do anything else, even most of the demonic beasts in the Hengduan Mountain Range were resting at this time. However, in a place closer to the interior of the Hengduan Mountains, there was a roar of a demonic beast that was extremely inconsistent with the lazy atmosphere of the noon.

The area is full of tall pine trees, and it is a sight to behold. However, at this moment, the pine needles on the pine trees are falling from the aftermath of the battle that took place in this pine forest, as if they were raining down on pine needles. The rapidly gathering wind elemental brought up strong winds in the pine forest, blowing the pine trees one by one, causing them to reluctantly sway in the wind.

One side of this battle is a pack of wolves, all of which are grayish-white, except for the presence of a cyan dot above each eye, which is very eye-catching. There were about twenty of them, all of them were wind-type magical beasts, and the wind elementals that were rapidly gathering in the forests here were also born because of their magic. Their names are blue-eyed demon wolves, and the cyan dots above their eyes resemble their other pair of eyes, hence their names.

All of these wolves are more than two meters long, and the largest of them is nearly three meters long, and the shape of the cyan dot above its eyes is like real eyes, so it stands out among the wolves. There is no doubt that this is the wolf king of this pack of wolves. On the other side, there were five people, two men and three women, fighting surrounded by wolves. Among the five people, the handsome young man with long silver hair was holding a silver long sword, surrounded by a faint silver light, but people couldn't help but feel unusually indifferent. At this time, he was fighting the blue-eyed wolf king, and the long sword in his hand danced, turning into a silver sword shadow, completely enveloping the wolf king. These sword shadows seem to be real and illusory, and the real sword is hidden in them, leaving a long wound on the wolf king's body from time to time. At this moment, the wolf king already had seven or eight wounds of different depths on his body, the deepest one almost touched his lumbar vertebrae, and blood gushed out from the wounds, staining the gray and white hair on the wolf king's body, but the silver-haired young man had no wounds on his body. On the other side, beside him, four other people stood there, guarding his surroundings so that the wolves around him would not interrupt his battle with the wolf king. They could tell that the wolf king was no match for the silver-haired boy, and that after a while, he would fall due to excessive blood loss.

Since the wolf king's situation was not good, the wolves frantically rushed forward to help the wolf king, while the four of them stayed around the silver-haired boy to prevent the wolves from disturbing him. Naturally, this group of people is a group of people who have snubbed the star, since they met the black-winged bird, five days have passed, and in the past five days, with their mutual cooperation, they have gained quite a lot, they have obtained seven late-level ninth-level magic cores, eight ninth-level peak magic cores, three early-stage heaven-level magic cores, and even one mid-heaven-level magic core, such a harvest has exceeded their expectations. In this way, the rest of their tasks will be completed before they have collected the three mid-Heaven Rank Demon Cores. However, this also shows that the danger in this Hengduan Mountain Range is greater than they originally expected, such as the Qingmu Demon Wolves they are encountering now. This was the first time they had encountered such a powerful group of demonic beasts, and the strength of that wolf king had even reached the middle of the heaven-level level, and since it had already been discovered, they could only fight, after all, these were wind-type demonic beasts, and it was impossible to escape.

In this battle, Tang Juan made a temporary plan to stop the wolf king directly by the cold star, because it was the only heaven-level demonic beast, and if the wolf king was not allowed to command the wolf pack, their chances would be greater.

In fact, they had encountered a mid-heaven-level demonic beast before, it was a green-ring snake, a poisonous demonic beast, and its poison was extremely terrifying. At that time, after it spewed out a poisonous mist, Snub Star rushed directly into it, and Don Juan and the others could only wander outside because they were afraid of this poisonous mist, and when Snub Star came out of the poisonous mist, he already had a green magic core in his hand.

Later, Snub Star told them that his special Dou Qi was somewhat similar to the Light Dou Qi, and that he had the ability to purify, so he naturally restrained this green krait. However, even so, the true combat power of the cold star still surprised them, after all, even if the green krait was not poisonous, it still had its own body, which meant that the cold star could kill a mid-heaven-level demonic beast unscathed without using magic. It is precisely because he has a certain understanding of the combat power of the Snubbing Star that Tang Juan will let the Snubbing Star contain the Wolf King, because he knows that the terrible thing about the Blue-Eyed Demon Wolf King is that he can command the Blue-Eyed Demon Wolf Pack, and the combat ability of the Blue-Eyed Demon Wolf is not strong, and the combat ability of this Wolf King itself is only stronger than the Warcraft in the early stage of the Heaven Level. However, after all, this was a genuine mid-heaven-level demonic beast, and he was still shocked to see that the cold star had completely suppressed the wolf king.

However, he was not interested in caring about these at this time, because the situation of the four of them was also quite bad. The Wolf King realizes that he is not the opponent of the Snub Star, and is trying to summon the wolves to his side, and the wolves are also desperately moving forward, trying to break through the defense line of Don Juan's four. The scale of this group of wolves is huge, there are a total of eight ninth-level demonic beasts, and they are all cultivators of the late stage of the ninth level and the peak of the ninth level, and there are more than thirty eighth-level demonic beasts and hundreds of seventh-level demonic beasts, which are very difficult. Until this time, the corpses of the blue-eyed demon wolves were already piled up under the feet of Tang Juan and the four of them, and there were a total of two late-level ninth-level demonic beasts, eleven eighth-level demonic beasts, and nearly fifty seventh-level demonic beasts that died in their hands. However, except for Caroline, who had been soaked in dragon blood and had the strongest physical strength, everyone else's arms were already shaking unconsciously, and several wounds appeared on Ivy and Erin's bodies. Ivy's was on her left arm, and Erin's was on her lower abdomen, which was left behind when the two dead late-level blue-eyed demon wolves attacked them, and if it weren't for Caroline and Don Juan's timely rescue, they would probably be seriously injured on the spot. Under the non-stop battle, the physical strength of the four of them was being violently consumed, and the consumption of fighting energy was even more severe. It was difficult for the eighth-level and seventh-level blue-eyed demon wolves to break through their protective fighting qi, but it was precisely because of this that their dou qi consumption was extremely huge, and the fighting qi in everyone's body was already less than half, and the fighting qi of Ivy and Erin, who were slightly inferior in cultivation, were less than one-third left.

However, they can't cancel the protection of the body protection and fighting qi in order to save the fighting energy, after all, they are human races, and their physical strength is not as strong as the demonic beasts, if they don't have the protection of the protective body fighting qi, even the seventh-level blue-eyed demon wolf can easily hurt their bodies. And the blue-eyed demon wolf is a wind-type demonic beast, and it is extremely fast, it is impossible for them to be physically protected from the attack of the blue-eyed demon wolf when blocking these blue-eyed demon wolves, if it were not for the protection of the body's fighting spirit, I am afraid they would have died a long time ago. Therefore, they can only maintain such rapid consumption, waiting for the cold star to kill the wolf king, so as to get out of the predicament.

On the side of the snub star, the situation of the blue-eyed wolf king was already very bad, and several deep wounds had been added to his body. Each of the swords of the cold star was hidden in the shadows of the heavy swords, and it was impossible to predict the whereabouts of the next moment, so the blue-eyed wolf king could not dodge, and could only collide with him to block his sword. However, the figure of the cold star is erratic, and there is no pattern in the movement, every time the wolf king wants to directly attack the cold star, he can't touch him at all, but adds a new wound to his body.

Snub Xing also felt the bad state of Tang Juan and the four of them, although he was sure that as long as this continued, it wouldn't take long for him to kill the blue-eyed wolf king, but Tang Juan and they might not be able to support it for so long. Therefore, he needs to end the battle with the Blue Eye Wolf King as soon as possible. The long sword in his hand trembled slightly, and a narrow gap suddenly appeared in the middle of the sword shadow that enveloped the wolf king, as if his attack suddenly had a flaw. Seeing this gap, because of the excessive bleeding from the wounds on his body, the speed had begun to slow down gradually, and the wolf king's eyes suddenly lit up, and whether it was a trap or not, he rushed directly there. It now just wants to get rid of the snubbing star and return to its wolf pack, and then use the wolves to kill the snub star.

At this moment, its body suddenly had a cyan glow, although due to the entanglement of the cold star, it had no space to use magic, but it could still do it by gathering wind elements. At this moment, surrounded by the wind element, it suddenly burst out with a speed that was more than double that of before, and at such a speed, it was certain that the Falling Star would not be able to catch up, as long as it returned to its own wolf pack, it would be its victory. However, at this time, it suddenly felt a cold invade its mind, and then its eyes went black, and it didn't know anything.

Behind it, Snub Star gave it a cold look, and there was not a trace of fluctuation in his silver eyes. At the last moment, because the wolf king was suppressed by the snub star for a long time before, he did not protect behind him at all, but broke away at full speed. At that moment, the silver light on the long sword in Snub Star's hand suddenly shone out, obviously concentrating a large amount of power, and then Snub Star threw his long sword towards the back of the Wolf King. The silver long sword flashed like a meteor outside the sky with a cold killing intent, instantly piercing the back of the wolf king's head and killing it.

At this moment, Tang Juan and the four of them felt as if time had stopped for a moment, and all the blue-eyed demon wolves stopped their movements at this moment, staring motionlessly at the newly dead figure of the wolf king. Immediately after, these blue-eyed demon wolves all let out a mournful howl, and the penetrating wolf howl spread throughout the pine forest, shaking all the pine needles on the trees, as if they were also mourning. Don Juan and the others also stopped their movements before this shocking picture and looked at this scene of wolves howling.

However, Snub Star's movements did not stop because of the wolves' mournful appearance, and even his eyes did not change at all, just looked at the wolves indifferently. Immediately, his footsteps stepped out and came to Erin's side, the silver light flashed in his right hand, and before the three eight-level blue-eyed demon wolves around Erin could react, he slashed through their throats and directly killed the three blue-eyed demon wolves. The Wolf King had fled in this direction before, so when Snub Star came to retrieve his sword, he helped Erin clean up these blue-eyed demon wolves by the way. Immediately after, he went to the corpse of the wolf king, drew his sword, and then swung his sword again, cutting off the heads of the two blue-eyed demon wolves. At this time, the others began to react, and the entire wolf pack also woke up from the grief of losing the wolf king. However, Snub Star had already left Erin's side at this time, rushed into the wolves, and headed towards the gathering place of the ninth-level blue-eyed demon wolves.

Seeing the enemy who killed the wolf king rushing over, the entire wolf pack was red-eyed, gave up Tang Juan and the others, and all rushed to the cold star. The cold star's body was erratic, and he just dodged along the way, and he didn't kill the blue-eyed demon wolf around him at all, because it would cause him to consume. In fact, in the eyes of Tang Juan and the others, after killing the Blue Eye Demon Wolf Wang, his fighting energy should have been consumed by more than half, after all, his last sword was infused with too much fighting energy, which could kill the Blue Eye Demon Wolf King with one blow. Although the Snub Star was just dodging, the blue-eyed demon wolves that stood in front of him were as if they didn't exist, and they couldn't intercept him at all, and they were soon rushed to the side of a late-level blue-eyed demon wolf in the late ninth level by the snub star. The light of the Snub Star sword swayed, and the long sword danced into several sword shadows in an instant, and even the Blue-Eyed Demon Wolf King couldn't tell where the sword body was, and of course this Blue-Eyed Demon Wolf couldn't, so it was slashed through the throat by the Snub Star's sword, and another sword pierced its head, picking out the demon core. After getting the demon core, Snub Star didn't love to fight, and then ran to the next ninth-level peak blue-eyed demon wolf, he walked among the wolves, giving people the feeling of being a small boat on the rough sea, and it could capsize if he wasn't careful, but he still continued his actions. Soon, the second ninth-level blue-eyed demon wolf was killed, followed by the third, and when the snub star reached the fourth, the wolves finally began to be afraid. There are only ten ninth-level blue-eyed demon wolves in total, and when they attacked Ivy and Erin before, they were killed twice, and with the addition of the four killed by the cold star, the loss has already been more than half, which they can't afford. Seeing this situation, they finally had the idea of retreating, and the remaining four ninth-level blue-eyed demon wolves let out a long howl in unison, and then, the entire turbulent sea surface froze still, and then quickly retreated backwards. Snub Star didn't chase after him, but just watched these blue-eyed demon wolves go away. Their mission was limited to the demon cores from the late ninth level to the middle of the heavenly level, and the magic cores of the other blue-eyed demon wolves didn't mean much to them, and if he continued to fight, I was afraid that it would cause Don Juan to suspect him.

Behind him, Don Juan and the others, who had just experienced a big battle, followed up, also watching the retreat of these blue-eyed demon wolves who had caused them great annoyance. At the same time, in their hearts, they suddenly found that the gap between them and the cold star was so big, which was undoubtedly a small blow to them. At this moment, Don Juan suddenly thought that it seemed that in every battle he had seen in Snub Star so far, Snub Star had not been injured, even when he was training against Edvina at Violet Academy, but he didn't think about it at a deeper level, he just felt that he couldn't see through Snub Star at all.
