Chapter 179 - Thunderstorms
"Holy sh * t!" "What"s going on!?"When Li Mu"s group of seven reached the source of the battle"s sound, they were shocked by what they saw. This was indeed a battle between warriors and beasts, but the number was beyond their expectations.
Not far in front of them, twenty low-level cultivators, who wore uniform attire and wielded all sorts of weapons, were currently surrounded by more than thirty demon wolves. They were currently fighting for their lives.It was a type of white demon wolf with a body of more than four meters long, the demon wolves had snow-white fur, had four sharp claws, and the fangs in their mouth were flickering with a cold light. Their Leader was a third level middle stage leader wolf, and at the moment, they were staring at the twenty odd people being surrounded while drooling, as though they were already unable to control themselves and wanted to eat anymore.
"There are so many Level 2 Snow Wolf beasts. It seems that if we don"t act now, these people will become the food for the demon beasts."
Qiu Dongyu looked at the twenty odd people who were trapped, and muttered softly.
"That might not be the case. Even if they are outnumbered, all of them are in the Postnatal realm and there are three of them who have Early Xiantian. It shouldn"t be a big problem for them to break out of the encirclement." Li Mu said with disapproval.This is not the main point, the main point is that as long as they take a fancy to you, even if you can escape the encirclement, they will chase you down no matter what. Moreover, you can only see three Early Xiantian s, and there is also a third level middle level leader among these Snow Wolf.
Qiu Dongyu smiled indifferently, it was obvious that he was extremely familiar with these low levelled beasts.
"Aooo!"
The size of the pack of wolves was larger than that of ordinary Demonic Wolves. It suddenly let out a wolf howl as if giving out an order. The more than thirty Level 2 Snow Wolves roared in unison and charged towards the twenty low level cultivators.
The twenty over cultivators naturally went all out against these demonic wolves. The weapons in each of their hands flickered with different colors of light as they engaged in a b.l.o.o.d.y battle with these Level 2 demon beasts. The scene was quite tragic."AHH!"
With a miserable scream, a Houtian realm woman was bitten on the arm by a demon wolf. She was torn into two halves by the two front claws of the demon wolf.
However, in the end, there were still a lot of demon wolves that had the advantage. In this short period of time, five or six people had already died in the mouths of the demon beasts, and only two of them had died.
Li Mu and the rest of the seven looked at each other, and then walked out together."Fellow Daoists, I hope that you will help me. My Steel Fist Trading Company will definitely repay you in the future!"
Seeing Li Mu"s group of seven suddenly appear, one of the older Early Xiantian elders immediately asked for help. He seemed to be the leader of this group.
"Roar!"
Seeing Li Mu"s group of seven suddenly appear, the leader of the Snow Wolf Beasts bared his teeth and roared. It had been watching with folded arms, but did not make a move. Seeing Li Mu"s group of seven suddenly appear, fear appeared in its eyes.
"Awoo …"The thirty odd snow wolves roared in unison. They stopped their attacks and looked at Li Mu"s group of seven with fierce gazes, while the warriors at the Lesser Heaven stage took the opportunity to gather together and escape the encirclement of the snow wolves.
"Roar!"
It had lived in the Heavenly Demon Valley all year round, and had been baptized in blood and fire. Its entire body was filled with a fiendish aura, although it was only at the middle level of the third level, its aura was not much weaker than a third level High Rank Goblin Beast.
"Interesting, look at me!"
Li Mu stood forward. A purple light flashed within his sleeves and a three inch long purple throwing knife appeared in his hands. After he infused his True Essence into it, the purple throwing knife shot towards the head wolf like a purple meteor.
The snow white demon wolf saw Li Mu shooting his throwing knife, one of its claws swiped forward, causing the purple throwing knife to be hit squarely in the middle, it turned its attack trajectory and shot out to the right, while the head wolf"s speed did not slow down, it continued to rush towards Li Mu.
"His reaction isn"t slow at all. A mere medium rank 3 beast can actually catch my throwing knife, not bad not bad!"
Being hit by the demonic wolf"s claw, Li Mu was not surprised at all. With a shift of his consciousness, the flying dagger that he had shot out spun and once again shot towards the demon wolf"s back.
"Pfft!"
Blood spurted out, the purple flying knife shot through the demon wolf"s back, through its chest and out of its body. At the same time, Li Mu activated the Flowerpoint Hands, and a golden finger Qi shot out quickly, like a straight sword directly piercing through the demon wolf"s head.
With a loud crack, the middle grade third stage demon wolf"s head exploded and turned into a pile of minced meat on the ground, while the demon wolf"s body fell straight to the ground, its blood red demon blood flowed all over the ground.
"Alright!"
Seeing that Li Mu had easily taken care of one Level Three demon beast, the low levelled warriors were stunned at first, but then burst into an intense applause as they admired Li Mu"s power.
"Aooo …"
Seeing that the head wolf was dead, the remaining 30 or so Snow Wolf Beasts could no longer stay still and rushed towards Li Mu, looking as if they wanted to avenge the head wolf.
"Humph!" A bunch of beasts with intelligence still not fully developed, since they want to die, then don"t blame me for it! "
Li Mu let out a cold laugh as his golden palm struck across the air, transforming into a gigantic Golden Buddha Hand. The Golden Buddha Hand pushed horizontally, and instantly shattered the seven to eight demon wolves as blood and flesh flew everywhere.The six of them had also joined the fray, and the seven late Xiantian warriors had moved out at the same time. In the time it took for half a cup of tea to boil, more than thirty demon beast corpses had appeared on the ground. Other than the two Demonic Wolves who had fled after seeing the situation turn bad, the rest did not have a chance to live.
"Many thanks for everyone"s help. This old man will be forever grateful. I, Steel Fist Trading Company, will remember this favor!"After the Snow Wolf was completely annihilated, the three Early Xiantian warriors that were surrounded by the Snow Wolf Beast walked up to Li Mu and the others, and cupped their fists towards Li Mu and the others, thanking them.
"Ironfist Trading Company?" Could it be the Gold Jade City"s Ironfist Trading Company that specializes in the transportation of goods and materials for people? "
Shen Cai Qing seemed to have some understanding of the so called Ironfist Trading Company, as he looked at the Early Xiantian Elder who was in the lead with a strange expression."That"s right, this old man"s name is Duan Jiang, this is w.a.n.g Kui, Tie Hu, the three of us are the deacons of Gold Jade City"s Iron Fist Trading Company!"
The older of the three Early Xiantian Warriors introduced."It"s nothing, my Shen family and your company have always cooperated. Since we met each other, I, Shen Cai Qing, will naturally save you. Furthermore, Ironfist Shen Luo Jun"s name is like thunder to the ears, the seven of us will be happy to form a good relationship with him. Perhaps, in the future, I might need your help!"
Shen Cai Qing was more courteous to Duan Jiang and the other two, with a righteous look, but it caused Li Mu and the rest to roll their eyes. This girl, on the other hand, knew how to conduct herself, so she did not mention Gold Jade Sect at all.
"So it"s the young miss of the Shen family, I"ve been admiring your name for a long time, no wonder you guys are so loyal, and these six fellow daoists all have outstanding cultivation bases, such young talents are truly rare, pardon this old one"s words, are the seven of you going to the inner area of Heavenly Demon Valley?"After Duan Jiang exchanged some pleasantries, he asked Li Mu what was the purpose of this visit.
"Yeah, the seven of us want to go to the inner area to try our luck. Is there a problem?"
Hu Qiang frowned and asked with suspicion. He could tell that when the words "inner area" was mentioned, Duan Jiang and the other two"s emotions had clearly changed."Sigh!" If that"s the case, then I advise everyone to return home. The inner area of Heavenly Demon Valley is in trouble! Something big has happened! "
Duan Jiang had a dejected expression as he loudly sighed.
Seeing Duan Jiang"s expression, Qiu Dongyu could not help but ask, "Something happened? What happened? ""Sigh!" Originally, we wanted to surround and kill a group of Iron Wall Saber Mantises. As you all know, the sharp forelimbs and the back armor of Iron Wall Saber Mantis are the best materials used to refine common weapons, but who would have thought that we would encounter a rare lightning storm near the edge of the inner area.
"Thunderstorm?" What is this? This is the first time I have heard of thunderstorms. " Li Mu interrupted. It was indeed the first time he had heard of Lei Bao.
"Looks like this is my first time in this Heavenly Demon Valley. Thunder storms is a natural phenomenon unique to this Heavenly Demon Valley, and every few hundred years, it will happen without any pattern. No one knows how it formed, but every time it happened, it would bring along a wave of beasts."
This is because all demon beasts fear lightning. Once a thunderstorm occurs, it will cause all the demon beasts within ten miles to run towards the periphery in fear. Our divine ability realm steward encountered a mid-tier fourth-ranked Scarlet Eyed Falcon on his way back. Ah, to cover our retreat, he lost his life at the hands of that Redwood Falcon.
Duan Jiang"s eyes were bloodshot as he deeply lamented the unfortunate encounter this time around.
"I never thought that there would be a thunderstorm!" This is troublesome, the moment Lei Bao appears, the sky in the outer region of Heavenly Demon Valley will change! "
Hu Qiang had obviously heard of the rumours about Lei Bao before, and his face immediately darkened.
"Yes, we also did not expect our trip to be this unfavorable. Our Iron Fist Trading Company has suffered heavy losses this time, if we did not meet all of you, sigh, I"m afraid none of you would have survived this time. This Snow Wolf is famous for not giving up until one of us dies, thank you all once again! If you have any matters to discuss with my Iron Fist Trading Company in the future, you can just state our name, Duan Jiang, in the Gold Jade City."
Duan Jiang bowed towards Li Mu and the others as he spoke."Fellow Daoist Duan is getting serious, it"s just a small matter." Li Mu laughed, and indicated that the other party did not need to be so courteous.
"What do we do now, once this thunderstorm erupts, it will not calm down for a month or two. According to what I know, once the thunderstorm breaks out, a large number of High level demon beast will escape from the inner area. Without a profound strength, it will be hard to move forward!"
Hu Qiang looked at Li Mu and the others, his eyes filled with seriousness.
