The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 3246 The Wisdom of the Shadow

If the two innate elders were to ask Chen Mo, he would definitely nod and tell them yes! Because of his daytime vision, he could see very clearly that as long as the shadowy figure was in the dark, no matter how serious the injury, it would gradually recover.

The only difference is the severity of the injury and the length of the recovery time.

Ouyang Ruoxi was somewhat stunned by the process of the two innate masters dealing with the shadowy figure.

She truly hadn't expected the innate master to be so powerful. Even surrounded by shadowy figures, he remained composed and unhurried. Qian Ying's swordsmanship was elegant, while Zhou Zixing's fist techniques were powerful and heavy. Two completely different styles, yet both displayed the terrifying power of the innate realm.

Just as Ouyang Ruoxi was looking at Qian Ying with some shock and in a daze, a dark figure was thrown out of the darkness at the edge of the newly established camping area!

Two dark figures lifted a wounded figure, as if carrying a piece of cargo, and then hurled it out. Their coordination was chillingly precise, as if they were communicating with some kind of intelligence. In an instant, the thrown figure plummeted through the air, tracing a black arc before crashing into the burning flames!

A deafening roar!
The flames and the shadowy figure exploded instantly! It was as if a huge barrel of gasoline had been added to a burning fire, causing the fire to swell rapidly and a wave of heat to sweep out in all directions! The exploding flames not only burned several martial artists within the area of ​​the fire, but also scattered and flew everywhere, as the heat from the exploding flames caused the burning wood to become a mess!

Instantly, a gap appeared in the new camp area that had been surrounded by burning wood! The gap was more than ten feet wide, and the flames were dispersed.

Before the martial artist could react and add more wood to block the gap, another dark figure was thrown over!

Suddenly, the dark figure landed on the flames again, instantly exploding from the heat! This time, the flames were even more intense, the heatwave even more surging, scattering more wood and widening the breach!
Although the shadowy figure was ignited and exploded, it couldn't release the corrosive black spots. Once ignited by the flames, the shadowy figure would explode into pure fire energy. However, these exploding flames not only cleared a larger breach but also burned the warriors within the fire protection zone, creating chaos and panic.

Fortunately, when the shadowy figure first exploded, the flames burned several martial artists, making them realize the danger and prompting them to immediately activate their qi and blood protective shields. The blood-red light membrane flowed across their bodies; while it couldn't completely block the heat, it could block damage. Only when their qi and blood power was completely depleted could it harm them.

So when it exploded for the second time, although the flames surprised everyone and they instinctively dodged, they were not burned when the flames rushed towards them and enveloped them.

After all, the Qi and Blood Shield was still very effective against flames. These martial artists were only scattered by the heat wave and staggered backward, but they were not seriously injured.

However, at that moment, several dark figures suddenly rushed through the gap! Without the raging flames, these dark figures were no longer afraid. They rushed in and roared as if they were gloating.

Or rather, they are demonstrating the wisdom of their species to the many warriors. So what if there are flames blocking their way? Their race can sacrifice itself to gain an opportunity to attack.

They moved with incredible speed, almost like afterimages, leaving trails of black light in the darkness, nearly impossible to see with the naked eye! They were the fused elite shadows, each exuding a chilling aura, their crimson eyes flashing with bloodlust.

In an instant, the figure appeared, standing slightly out in front of the martial artist who had just been knocked down by the explosion of flames and was getting up. The figure then swiftly attacked! The martial artist reacted, immediately strengthening his qi and blood defenses. A crimson qi and blood shield swelled and thickened around his body as he struggled to wield his weapon, attempting to defend against the shadowy figure's sneak attack. However, their strength was far inferior to the shadowy figure's; the gap was like an insurmountable chasm.

The shadowy figures moved with incredible speed, exceeding the limits of human reaction. Their claws, carrying a stench, instantly shattered the protective aura of the martial artist; the crimson light membrane was as fragile as paper before them. Then, with a single hand, they seized the martial artist's head and tightened their grip!
"puff!"

With a sickening thud, the martial artist's head exploded! Red and white matter flew everywhere, and the headless body fell limply to the ground, a cruel gleam of pleasure flashing in his crimson eyes.

The martial artist's weapon was still a hair's breadth away from the shadowy figure! He was just a hair's breadth away from striking the shadowy figure, perhaps even saving his life. But that tiny distance became an insurmountable chasm, the dividing line between life and death!
At the same moment, the heads of the other three martial artists also exploded!

"Puff puff!"

Three muffled thuds sounded almost simultaneously as three heads shattered like watermelons under the shadowy figure's claws.

In the blink of an eye, four martial artists died on the spot! They didn't even have time to scream or put up any effective resistance before they were already dead.

"Oh!"

A burning piece of wood flew from a distance and struck the dark figure who had just roared in front of it with pinpoint accuracy, instantly setting the figure's skin ablaze!

That was Chen Mo's move! The moment he saw the gap appear, he realized the danger. After setting up a talisman defense around Ouyang Ruoxi, he immediately stabbed his long sword into a burning log and threw it at the dark figure!

The shadowy figure screamed in agony as flames crackled and popped across its body. It retreated rapidly, disappearing into the darkness. The flames burning on its body seemed to be extinguished in an instant by some icy energy! The shadowy figure vanished into the darkness as if it had never been there.

But Chen Mo could see it clearly: the dark figure was standing there, its sharp claws stroking the burnt wound on its chest, then staring at him with a fierce look in its eyes.

Through the darkness, their eyes met, and the shadowy figure roared at Chen Mo!
All the other martial artists couldn't see it, but Chen Mo could see it very clearly.

Meanwhile, in the area of ​​the burning flames, another burning log hurtled towards another dark figure! It was Ouyang Nan's move; she followed closely behind, forming a tacit cooperation with Chen Mo.

The dark figure swiftly swung its claws, sending the burning firewood flying. The blow even struck several martial artists, causing them to retreat and further disrupting their formation.

Before the other two shadowy figures could make a move, two burning flames came crashing down again! Chen Mo and Ouyang Nan formed a crossfire, flanking the shadowy figures who were trying to take advantage of the chaos to attack.
