Chapter 317: Chapter 194: Confusion (Part 3)

“Fourth Brother, Old Nine was killed by them.”

The other Late Stage of Fetal Breathing demon beast near the Cyan-faced Snake Demon noticed the body of the Borur Demon in the distance and spoke with a heavy expression.

All the demons belonged to the Great Witch Mountain Demon Cave and knew each other’s strength well.

The Borur Demon wasn’t very strong, but it was cautious and sly, skilled in ambushes, and had plenty of life-saving tricks.

Since he and the Golden Toad were trapped, it had been less than half an hour, and one was killed while the other captured alive.

This scene left the remaining three demon beasts somewhat shocked.

The vertical pupils of the Cyan-faced Snake Demon wandered over Luo Yao and Shen Wen’an, seeming to hesitate whether to continue the fight.

Rumble!

Rumble!

At that moment, a rumbling noise suddenly came from the distant forest, as large ancient trees were relentlessly knocked down, and a thick poisonous miasma swiftly swept in.

“Third Uncle, reinforcements have arrived!”

In the distance, Shen Chongming shouted.

The Cyan-faced Snake Demon and the other two demon beasts changed expressions slightly at the words.

“Fourth Brother, there’s reinforcement on the other side…”

“Judging by the noise, it seems to be a Fetal Breathing Realm Demon General skilled in using poison. Shall we… retreat?”

Upon hearing this, the Cyan-faced Snake Demon’s eyes flashed with a thoughtful look.

“An unknown reinforcement has appeared on the opponent’s side…”

“This time, I’ve already swallowed that stupid bull and an Immortal Embryo at the Late Stage of Fetal Breathing, with considerable gains.”

“There isn’t much advantage right now; it’s more prudent to return and refine the Immortal Embryo and the Dao Practice of the stupid bull first.”

“Once my strength increases, it’s not too late to claim this blood food again…”

Thinking this, the Cyan-faced Snake Demon abruptly waved its hand and said: “Retreat!”

Before the words finished, its form suddenly transformed into a small cyan snake, darting away into the distance!

The other two demon beasts also used their own methods to quickly escape the battlefield!

Seeing this, Shen Wen’an and Luo Yao both breathed a sigh of relief.

Despite having managed to slay the Borur Demon and capture the Golden Toad alive earlier,

this Cyan-faced Snake Demon’s strength was superior to the other demon beasts!

As for the arriving Centipede Leader, it had just recently broken through to Fetal Breathing and hadn’t even reached the middle stage yet; it was merely bluffing this time.

If it really came down to a fight, they might not be a match for the three demons.

Fortunately, the Cyan-faced Snake Demon was also suspicious by nature and chose to retreat.

As soon as the two people relaxed, the Centipede Leader continued to spew poisonous miasma while running wildly, stirring up dust and knocking down ancient trees to build its momentum.

“Alright.”

“The enemies have left.”

Seeing its actions, Shen Wen’an shook his head helplessly.

Upon hearing this, the Centipede Leader stopped and raised its head to look around, sighing with relief when it saw no trace of enemies: “I’m exhausted…”

“How was my momentum?”

A rare smile appeared on Shen Wen’an’s face as he nodded: “Not bad, very clever.”

The Centipede Leader was pleased with the compliment and said:

“The demon beasts on the camp’s side have been repelled too; this crisis seems to be over.”

Is it over?

Shen Wen’an looked at the Borur Demon corpse and Fox Demon who revealed its original form, then at the Golden Toad in his hand.

This attack from the Southern Border Demon Cave was fierce but suffered severe losses, and probably won’t give up easily.

And then there’s the Suihuo Sect…

The urgency of the situation hadn’t allowed him to investigate why the Suihuo Sect had sent three Late Stage of the Fetal Breathing Realm experts all the way to Hidden Dragon Mountain to kill Shen Chongming.

His gaze fell upon Shen Chongming, who was walking over from afar, deep in thought.

“Wen’an, now that this is over, I should return.”

While speaking, Luo Yao produced a Communication Stone in a flash of light, handing it over: “If you encounter any danger in the future, send me a message directly, don’t act tough.”

His thoughts interrupted, Shen Wen’an quickly saluted and said: “Thank you, Elder Luo, for your assistance this time.”

After a slight nod and smile, Luo Yao directly left, manipulating the wind.

“Third Uncle, are you alright?”

As Shen Chongming approached and saw his somewhat pale face, he asked with concern.

“I’m fine, just over exhausted.”

Shen Wen’an shook his head, then scanned the surroundings, spreading his divine sense.

He found the pair of Copper Rings previously conjured by the Suihuo Sect’s long-browed elder in the forest.

Sure enough, the rings had patterns similar to the previous Bronze Fragments, suggesting they were part of the same piece.

Collecting the pair of intricately designed Copper Rings into his Storage Bag, he also recalled the two Dog Fangs acquired from the Borur Demon.

Taking them out, he handed them to Shen Chongming:

“You should like these.”

Shen Chongming reached out to take them, examining them with a frown and much curiosity: “What are these?”

The two Dog Fangs were ordinary, without any special aura, like the teeth of common wild animals.

With a smile, Shen Wen’an explained: “This item can pierce through a cultivator’s Spiritual Power Shield, it should be very useful to you.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Chongming’s eyes instantly lit up.

He truly liked these items!

Every time he planned an ambush, the cultivator’s Spiritual Power Shield was a headache; with these, the success rate of future ambushes should increase significantly.

The uncle and nephew meticulously combed the battlefield again, finding the Suihuo Sect man’s long sword and the old woman’s wooden staff, with the remaining valuable spoils being only the corpses of the two Fetal Breathing Realm demon beasts.

After storing everything into the Storage Bag, Shen Wen’an said solemnly: “The reason the Suihuo Sect is targeting you is unknown, but be extra careful while in the mountains.”

“If necessary, go home first, wait until you break through to the Fetal Breathing Realm before coming back.”

After pondering for a moment, Shen Chongming shook his head: “Let’s have Chonghong go back instead.”
