Chapter 484 Howl?
Li Ye didn’t intend to take too many cultivators inside. The sudden attack team was focused on the elite, not the number. Li Ye brought Wei Weiwu in the Real Immortal Realm, Li Jian and the other three cultivators in the Sky Immortal Realm, as well as Qi Potian, Zhao Junyi, and the other two cultivators in the Ground Immortal Realm. Nine cultivators, including him, were going to head for the forest in the basin.
“Your Highness, take me with you.” Hong Xiu begged suddenly.
Li Ye glanced at her. “No.”
Hong Xiu implored him, saying, “Your Highness, I feel a familiar breath in the basin. I think it has something to do with the panic in my heart. Please take me with you, Your Highness. I won’t make any trouble for you!”
Li Ye was a little moved by Hong Xiu’s words. Originally, he didn’t want to bring Hong Xiu for fear that she would make trouble because of her anxiety.
“You sense it carefully. What makes you feel familiar?” Li Ye continued to ask, “Is it the fierce beasts or the demons?” If so, it might be a good choice to take her inside.
Hong Xiu bit her red lips and shook her head. “It’s too far, so I can’t sense it. But the breath there is very powerful, so it shouldn’t be common. And the other side seems to be injured and in a bad mood… I was anxious previously maybe because I felt the same as he did.”
Li Ye was in doubt. He cast an inquiring glance at Wei Weiwu. After all, Wei Weiwu was in the Real Immortal Realm and the Great Cultivator of the demon clan, so he should know more about the demon clan than he did, and he should have some judgment about what Hong Xiu said.
Wei Weiwu touched his fat, greasy double chin and narrowed his eyes into a slit, deep in thought. “If so, it’s possible that the existence inside has something to do with Miss Hong Xiu. If Miss Hong Xiu finds him, maybe there will be some unexpected gains.”
While saying this, he looked at Hong Xiu up and down. He wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.
“Then let’s go together.” Li Ye made up his mind. Everything had pros and cons. Where there was risk, there was gain. Even if Hong Xiu didn’t go inside, Li Ye also had to face the fierce beasts and demons at the campsite. Then he seriously told her as usual, “Miss Hong Xiu, you should be careful later.”
Hong Xiu was very moved. Li Ye knew that there might be trouble bringing her, but he still agreed and seriously told her to be careful. She felt his special treatment and concern. With bright light in her eyes, she looked at Li Ye with affection, saying, “Thank you, Your Highness. Don’t worry. I…”
Before she could finish speaking, she stood stunned there and opened her red lips for a long time because Li Ye didn’t listen to what she said and turned to talk with Duchess and the proprietress.
“Hehe. What special concern? What special treatment? It turns out to be courtesy advice.”
Li Ye asked the proprietress to take good care of Duchess.
Because Duchess couldn’t control her body well, Li Ye wouldn’t take her with him. If Duchess was suddenly scared by some fierce beasts and accidentally stepped out a hundred-foot pit when everyone was sneaking, then they wouldn’t need to go on the task.
On the proprietress’ back, Duchess held her neck and said, “Elder Brother Ye, don’t worry. We’ll catch up with you later.”
Li Ye nodded. He suddenly felt that it sounded very strange, as if he was going to sacrifice himself for the cause of the revolution.
After Li Ye left with Wei Weiwu, Hong Xiu, and the other cultivators, Duchess looked at that direction where everyone disappeared and lay on the proprietress’ back, motionless.
The proprietress reminded her, “Duchess, we should sit down and rest.”
Duchess replied, “Hmm”. She buried her face in the proprietress’ hair and rubbed it hard for a while. She said in a low voice, “I want to lie a little longer.”
The proprietress smiled with a hint of doting affection. “You can lie a little longer if you want to.”
Duchess responded with a “hum” again and kept silent. It seemed that there was something in proprietress’ hair that made her obsessed.
The proprietress didn’t sit down either. She stood quietly under the shade of the tree and looked up at the twinkling light between branches and leaves.
Once upon a time, there was a child who had not yet grown up. She lived a carefree life in the prosperous Chang’an City, waiting to marry a man in the future. Later, peace disappeared in a night, and she lost all her warm life. Following the flurried crowd, she drifted from place to place, homeless and miserable. After reaching a strange place, she was sent to the strange Shushan by her father.Updates by vi p novel
Later, in the mountain stretching for 50,000 kilometers where there was only a monkey, she couldn’t walk, jump, or eat, and no one talked with her. Every day, when she watched the rising sun, the setting sun, and the starlight shining all over the mountain, she could only hold her knees and ducked her head silently. That was a desolate time without warmth.
Warmth had disappeared in her memory for a long time. Most of the time people forgot that she was still a child who hadn’t grown up.
Once upon a time, in the mountain stretching for 50,000 kilometers, there was a lonely fox. It faced all kinds of powerful birds and animals alone, found food laboriously, and avoided danger uneasily. Usually, when it starved for a few days, it could only hide in a cold cave and lick its bleeding wounds alone.
In countless snowy, cold winters that it thought it couldn’t go through, it lay at the entrance to the cave, looking forward to the peach tree outside the cave to bloom.
Later, when she succeeded in cultivation, she came to the prosperous world. She met countless others of her same species but found danger still everywhere. Cultivators were busy fighting for power and profit, and they were indifferent and had no warmth. All the beauty and warmth in the world were inferior to the peach blossoms.
She wanted to snuggle up in a warm embrace and be protected when danger was coming. Unfortunately, she had never found it, even when she met the human childe who was as handsome as jade.
In this desolate world, she didn’t find the warm hug that she had been longing for and fantasizing for countless times. But now, someone was willing to bury her head in her warm, fragrant body without raising her head.
Since others couldn’t give her warmth, then if she could give others warmth, it would be a good thing, wouldn’t it?
Yes.
…
On the periphery of the fierce beasts’ nest, Li Ye and the other cultivators slowed down. They pushed aside the weeds and thorns in front of them and looked over there.
Although it was called the fierce beasts’ nest, there was no cave, but a campsite. Within a radius of ten thousand feet, weeds and thorns had been cleared, leaving only towering trees. Like covers, the canopies were dense, blocking the moonlight and the view from the sky.
If they looked closely, they would find that the trunks of many big trees were cut off, so the open spaces were very big. Although the trunks disappeared, the branches and leaves didn’t, and under the control of some force, they intertwined together, forming a dense net of branches and leaves above the top so that no one could see any anomaly from outside.
In the open spaces, all kinds of fierce beasts were sitting, lying prone, or lying down on the ground. Most of them were injured and licking their bleeding wounds. The fierce beasts surrounded a vast open space. There were many wooden houses and tree cabins, and it could be vaguely seen that many cultivators in human figures were shuttling among them.
Li Ye turned to say to the cultivators behind him, “There is nothing unusual about the fierce beasts on the periphery. Our goal is to sneak into the fierce beasts, go secretly to the central wooden houses and tree cabins, and try to figure out what the cultivators are doing there. If we can capture their leader first, then we can force out some secrets that we want to know, and we can also cooperate with the attack of the team.”
Wei Weiwu nodded his head hard, indicating that he understood. His neck was too thick to see him nodding, so he had to nod very hard every time so that the others could see.
Before Li Ye ordered, the cultivators of the demon clan returned to their original figures from the human figures.
Wei Weiwu was a lion, and all the other cultivators had their own forms, such as a dhole, a tiger, a leopard, a sheep, and so on.Updates by vi p novel
Even Miss Hong Xiu turned into a lovely squirrel.
If there were a demon wolf and a demon jackal, then there would be all kinds of common animals.
There were so many of them that they were easy to spot. If they wanted to successfully sneak into the fierce beasts’ campsite, it was the best choice to return to their original state. Then if they restrained their Demon Qi, the fierce beasts wouldn’t recognize them. They could almost swagger to the center of the campsite.
Everyone had this awareness.
Then the dhole, the tiger, the leopard, the sheep, the squirrel, and the sparrow all looked at Li Ye at the same time, staring at him without moving.
Li Ye didn’t know what to say.
“Why are you all looking at me? I’m a person. This is my original state. I can’t turn into a rabbit, can I?”
It was a little quiet and awkward at this moment.
Could Li Ye swagger to the fierce beasts with a group of birds and animals? Could he greet the fierce beasts along the way and say that he was a human cultivator caught by their companions? If the fierce beasts pounced on him halfway and dragged him to clean and then cooked him, what should he do?
The lion, Wei Weiwu, looked at Li Ye and asked curiously, “Didn’t you learn the art of transformation?”
Li Ye replied, “No.”
The lion ducked his head and fell silent.
The sparrow grinned and began to be mean again. “How about I give you two feathers and you put them on your head to disguise as a sparrow?”
Li Ye wished to slap it to death.
After a moment of silence, the lion, Wei Weiwu, said, “I used to have a dog, but it died in a battle later for protecting me. I kept its fur in memory of it. If you are willing to put on its fur, I can use some means to make you become its look.”
Li Ye was speechless. “All of them are the tall and strong dhole, tiger, leopard, and bear. Why do I have to be a dog?”
The sparrow laughed and fell from the air with its hands on its belly. Lying on the ground, it kept kicking its legs exaggeratedly.
The squirrel, Hong Xiu, fixed her eyes on Li Ye, full of pity.
Li Ye gritted his teeth. For the big plan, he had to sacrifice. If he went in alone, he didn’t need to hide. But now they acted together, so if he didn’t disguise himself, he wasn’t sure if they could get into the center of the campsite.
A while later, under the leadership of a gloomy-faced gray dog, a group of tall and strong birds and animals walked out of the forest and pretended to be the team that came back from patrol. They passed by the fierce beasts aggressively.
However, the gray dog was small. It led the way in front with majestic steps, but it still looked very weird.
The fierce beasts seemed to scatter throughout the open spaces, but in fact, there was regularity. The same species of fierce beasts basically stayed together. Very few of them stayed with other species except near the central campsite.
Li Ye was wise to choose to pretend to be a patrol team. Only the patrol team would mix with different species. After all, only when birds and animals cooperated with each other could they cope with all kinds of situations outside.
Walking in front, Li Ye looked steadily forward, looking domineering like a king patrolling the mountain. The pressure of his strength of Ground Immortal Realm was emitted invisibly so that the surrounding fierce beasts didn’t dare to look straight at him.
The sparrow flew above Li Ye’s head and tried its best to hold back its laughter. It was so hard that it swayed from side to side while flying. If it had a big face, the fierce beasts would have seen it holding back its laughter so hard that its face turned red.
Passing by the fierce beasts, Li Ye breathed a sigh of relief as the central campsite was in sight. Once they passed through the area where the wolves gathered, they would reach the periphery of the campsite. The fierce beasts on guard were not injured and they were powerful. There were all kinds of them.
As he walked past the wolves, Li Ye suddenly felt that the fierce beasts kept looking at him up and down. “Are these wolves different from the other fierce beasts? Or do they want to recognize their relative when they see a big gray dog?”
Li Ye prayed in his heart that they’d better not make any trouble. His pace remained steady.
However, when they came to the center of the wolves, two legs suddenly appeared in Li Ye’s sight. He was shocked in his heart. When he looked up, he saw a particularly tall gray wolf standing in front of him, holding its arms, and looking down at him with an unfriendly look.
Its body was about 21 to 24 meters. It was standing like a person, looking very tall. In comparison, the gray dog Li Ye disguised as was obviously not a war beast but a pure pet when it was alive, so its size was normal. He was particularly small when standing in front of the big gray wolf.
Li Ye narrowed his eyes. “Does it want to make trouble?”
Staring at him, the big gray wolf suddenly opened its mouth wide and said, “Howl~”
Li Ye didn’t know what to say.
The big gray wolf looked at him suspiciously. “Howl?”
Li Ye was not stupid. He immediately understood that it was talking to him!
