Douro Continent

Chapter 561 Shadow Hunter

Just then, Bai Chenxiang came over with a plate of hot roasted dry rations. She handed some to Tang San, who took some and then gestured towards Ma Hongjun.

Bai Chenxiang was a clever girl. Although she hadn't heard what the fat man had whispered, she vaguely sensed that something was amiss. She casually walked over and sat down next to him, handing him the dry rations she was holding.

The steaming food startled Ma Hongjun slightly, and he turned to look at Bai Chenxiang. Bai Chenxiang stuffed all the food in her hands into his, stood up, walked to the back, to a corner far from the campfire, sat there with her arms wrapped around her knees, and rested her chin on her knees, lost in thought.

She sat down outside the circle formed by the Shrek Seven Devils, looking quite lonely.

Ma Hongjun subconsciously turned his head to look at Bai Chenxiang. When he saw her sitting there alone, his hardened heart softened instantly. He whispered to Tang San beside him, "Third Brother, has she eaten?"

Tang San shrugged and said, "I don't know, you can go ask her yourself."

"I..." The fat man hesitated for a moment, watching Tang San feed Xiao Wu, but he finally stood up and walked towards Bai Chenxiang.

Just then, Bai Chenxiang suddenly let out a scream and sprang up like an arrow. In her panic, she didn't care if there were any obstacles in front of her, and she crashed right into Ma Hongjun's arms.

"Watch out!" Seeing Bai Chenxiang rushing towards him, the fat man couldn't care less about what he was holding. He quickly put down the food plate and used his fat body to meet Bai Chenxiang.

Bai Chenxiang felt as if she had bumped into a soft cushion. Although she didn't feel any pain, she was thrown back with a cry of surprise. Just then, a pair of strong arms wrapped around her slender waist and back, pulling her back onto the bouncy cushion.

"What's wrong?" Ma Hongjun asked, his small eyes gleaming as he looked towards where Bai Chenxiang had been. A sharp killing intent emanated from his taut, fleshy body, but Bai Chenxiang, who was in his arms, felt as if her body was surrounded by a barrier, feeling an indescribable sense of security and comfort. Her panicked heart calmed down considerably.

"Yes, there are rats..." Bai Chenxiang said almost in a daze.

"Old, rat?" Ma Hongjun's eyes widened, his murderous aura vanishing instantly, leaving him speechless. But he was quickly drawn to the girl in his arms. It was a comfort he had never experienced before. He had held many women, but none had ever given him this feeling.

Soft and fresh, the faint scent of a virgin became the most alluring aroma. Looking down at the girl nestled in his arms like a lamb, his heart trembled, and his breathing became heavy.

The other members of the Shrek Seven Devils only stood up when Bai Chenxiang exclaimed in surprise, but then sat back down in perfect unison, without even looking in their direction.

"Ah!" Bai Chenxiang let out a soft cry and struggled in the fat man's arms, instantly waking him from his lewd thoughts. As he subconsciously loosened his grip, Bai Chenxiang had already squatted down to pick up the food that had fallen on the ground. He could clearly feel that Bai Chenxiang's pink ears had turned red, and she was looking down, not daring to look at him at all.

The unpleasantness of the day had completely vanished. The fat man chuckled foolishly, muttering to himself, "So, even mice can be this cute to me."

Bai Chenxiang's body stiffened visibly. She raised her hand and pinched the fat man's soft flesh hard on his waist. She raised her head slightly, glared at the fat man "fiercely," stuffed the food she had picked up into his hands, and turned to run to the campfire.

Even if the fat man was stupid, he knew what he should do at this moment. He quickly grabbed the food and ran over, sitting down next to Bai Chenxiang without any hesitation. He peeled off the dusty parts of the dry food and ate them himself, handing the still-warm hearts inside to Bai Chenxiang.

Although Bai Chenxiang didn't say anything, she didn't refuse either, and took the food little by little. The atmosphere around the campfire was thus restored to harmony, yes, very harmonious.

Nothing was said that night. The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, the group set off. The atmosphere inside the carriage was much more harmonious than the night before. Ma Hongjun still sat in the corner, making more room for Bai Chenxiang, but he was clearly no longer acting out of spite. Bai Chenxiang looked no different than before, but if you looked closely, you could see that she was trying her best to avoid letting you look at the fat man.

Aside from occasionally getting off the carriage to stretch their legs and let the horses rest, the group spent the next few days traveling, only stopping to truly rest for a period of time each evening.

Ten days later, they had entered the western border of the Heavenly Dou Empire, and their horses had been changed in the previous city. The four new horses were enough to carry them to the seaside.

"There's a village ahead, Sect Leader Tang, shall we take a break?" The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School disciple driving the carriage had already been instructed that this trip was not led by Ning Rongrong, and that everything should be done according to Tang San's orders.

Tang San said, "Then let's rest for a bit." It was already afternoon, and the weather was getting cooler. The horses were exhausted. Although they had rested once at noon, they still needed to rest again before dinner to maintain their speed.

The carriage continued for a while and then stopped. Just as the Shrek Seven Devils thought they had arrived at the village and were about to get off to rest, a soft knocking sound came from the side of the carriage. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School disciple who was driving said, "Sect Master Tang, something seems wrong. We're almost at the village, but it's eerily quiet, and there's not a single person in the fields outside the village."

The group exchanged glances, and Dai Mubai said, "Let's go down and take a look." Everyone got off the carriage and looked ahead.

About half a mile away from them, there was a small mountain village. The village didn't look very big, with only about a hundred households. The village was surrounded by large tracts of farmland, just as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School disciple had said. From this vantage point, the village was eerily quiet, and there wasn't a single person in the fields.

Tang San focused his vision; with his Purple Demon Eye, he could see much farther than the disciple from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, instantly closing the 500-meter distance. "Something's not right. The village seems to have been damaged. Many farmers' houses are broken, and it looks like they were broken with blunt instruments. There's also blood. The blood hasn't dried yet, so it must have happened recently."

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School disciple stared at Tang San in disbelief, thinking to himself, "You can see that far? You're not faking it, are you?" However, the other members of the Shrek Seven Devils showed no sign of doubt.

Bai Chenxiang said, "Third Brother, I'll go take a look."

Tang San nodded. Bai Chenxiang might not be good at fighting, but in terms of speed, even Zhu Zhuqing, who is an agility-based attacker, might not be stronger than her. She can also fly, so self-preservation is no problem for her.

A flash of white, and Bai Chenxiang had already darted out, her wings unfurling in mid-air, instantly transforming into a white dot and soaring into the sky. Through the battle between the Seven Devils and Sword Douluo, she deeply understood the gap between herself and these rising stars. This time, accompanying the Seven Devils on their voyage, she needed to demonstrate her abilities. She would do her best in reconnaissance.

This was the first time Dai Mubai and the others had seen Bai Chenxiang use her martial soul. Zhu Zhuqing exclaimed, "Such speed! No wonder she's a pure agility-type soul master. If her soul power level were any higher, we probably wouldn't even be able to catch a glimpse of her."

Tang San smiled and said, "We'll wait here for a while."

Before long, Bai Chenxiang had flown back at an even faster speed than when she left. She was practically just a white dot in the air before she landed in front of everyone.

When she landed in front of everyone, the Shrek Seven Devils noticed that Bai Chenxiang's face was extremely pale, as white as paper, and her chest was heaving as if she was enduring something.

Just as Ma Hongjun was about to go forward and ask, Bai Chenxiang suddenly lunged at a large tree nearby and vomited violently.

The Shrek Seven Devils exchanged bewildered glances. Oscar couldn't help but say, "Fatty, you didn't do anything heinous to her, did you? Xiangxiang is a nice girl; you have to take responsibility for her!"

Ma Hongjun rolled his eyes. "You're so wicked. I haven't even held her hand." As he spoke, he ran up to Bai Chenxiang and gently patted her back, softly transferring his soul power to her to make her feel more comfortable.

Dai Mubai said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid there's a problem. She must have seen something terrifying or disgusting."

Bai Chenxiang vomited almost everything in her stomach before gradually recovering and returning to the group with Ma Hongjun's help.

A glint flashed in Tang San's eyes as he asked, "Xiangxiang, what exactly did you see?"

Bai Chenxiang's eyes revealed intense horror. "Dead people, dead people everywhere. Right behind the village, the ground is stained red with blood. There are at least a hundred corpses. They died so tragically, killed by a group of strangely dressed people, who are carrying their bodies into the mountains behind the village. Many of them had their internal organs spilling out. Those strangely dressed people were even using spears to impale the corpses of children. Even from high above, I could smell the strong stench of blood. It's so horrible, so incredibly horrible. It seems like only some young women are still alive. Ugh..." At this point, she couldn't help but gag again.

From childhood to adulthood, when had she ever seen such a bloody scene?

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions darkened. Dai Mubai and Tang San exchanged a glance, and Tang San said, "Rongrong, Zhuqing, you two stay here and take care of Xiaowu for me for now. Xiao Ao, you protect them. Mubai, Fatty, let's go."

As he spoke, Tang San raised his left hand, his eyes flashing with blue light. The triangular-shaped Vast Ocean Universe Cover spun rapidly as it was released from between his eyebrows. A surge of pure soul power was poured into it, and the blue light suddenly burst forth, enveloping everyone except Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and himself.

The Shrek Seven Devils had long been in sync. Ning Rongrong took Xiao Wu from Tang San, and the group gathered around the carriage. Oscar said, "Be careful." As he spoke, he waved his right hand and whispered a spell, handing over more than ten large recovery sausages and small detoxifying sausages to Ma Hongjun.

Tang San and his companions leaped into the air and headed towards the village. The carriage and the others had vanished from their previous location, the Han Hai protective shield of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover activating its defensive and stealth effects. The wonder of this thing lay in its effective range. As long as Tang San left a wisp of his spiritual energy attached to it, he could retrieve it even from a hundred miles away. Moreover, through spiritual connection, there was no fear of not being able to find it.

The three of them sped up and quickly bypassed the village. Immediately, they smelled the strong stench of blood. Although they couldn't see anyone yet, the blood-stained ground showed just how horrific the carnage that had taken place there was. There were even some entrails left on the ground, emitting a nauseating stench.

Tang San and Dai Mubai fared somewhat better, but the fat man's expression turned rather grim. Tang San, after all, had been tempered in the City of Slaughter, where he had witnessed far too much carnage, while Dai Mubai, as the Crown Prince of the Star Luo Empire, had naturally seen his share of bloodshed. Although the fat man had seen dead bodies before, this was the first time he had ever experienced such a strong stench of blood.

Dai Mubai twitched his nose slightly, pointed to the left front, and said, "They should have gone that way. They look like bandits. Let's go."

The three set off again, and in their eyes, a chill was spreading invisibly.

Not far ahead lay a range of towering peaks. The mountains here weren't high, and they were ideal for plant growth, with forests everywhere. Tracking their targets was too easy; they only needed to follow the bloodstains on the ground, and they wouldn't lose them. The three entered the forest and quickly caught up with their target.

In the distance, the three could already see a dense mass of figures ahead. Tang San activated his Purple Demon Eye to focus his gaze, only to see a pile of corpses. Cries and screams continued to echo from ahead.

Dai Mubai was about to rush forward, but Tang San stopped him, saying, "Observe first before you make a move." Years of training had taught him to be cautious.

The three of them crept along the side of the forest and gradually came into view of the bandits. Although they were called bandits, they didn't seem to be human.

There were about three hundred bandits, all of them extremely robust, each over two meters tall and with solid physiques. Most peculiarly, they all had gray hair and extremely thick body hair, making them look like savages. Their lips protruded outwards, revealing two canine teeth several times larger than those of ordinary people, and their faces were painted with dazzling greasepaint.

Upon recognizing his opponent, Dai Mubai's evil eyes narrowed, and he whispered to Tang San and Ma Hongjun, "It's the Wolf Bandits. I didn't expect the Heaven Dou Empire to have Wolf Bandits."

Tang San looked at Dai Mubai with a puzzled expression. Dai Mubai said in a deep voice, "Wolf bandits can be considered human, but they can also not. They are a combination of humans and a kind of spirit beast called the Gale Demon Wolf. Feng Xiaotian's spirit beast, the Gale Twin-Headed Wolf, from the Four Elements Academy is a mutated and enhanced version of the Gale Demon Wolf. However, the spirit beast does not possess some of the Gale Demon Wolf's inherent traits. The Gale Demon Wolf is inherently lewd and can mate with almost any creature of similar size. Moreover, it particularly enjoys raping human women. When they mate with human women, they give birth to a special breed called Wolf Bandits. They can be described as half-wolf, half-human monsters. Wolf Bandits are born with the physique, speed, and some innate abilities of the Gale Demon Wolf. They also possess a certain degree of human intelligence. They are extremely bloodthirsty and lustful. Wherever there are Wolf Bandits, the people living there are doomed. These Wolf Bandits not only plunder but also kill humans to use as food. Women are temporarily kept for rape, and those who are not pregnant also become their food. That's why they are carrying those villagers' corpses."

Tang San and Ma Hongjun both gasped, but their killing intent intensified instantly.

Dai Mubai said in a deep voice, "These wolf bandits are not easy to deal with. Five hundred wolf bandits can defeat a regular army of ten thousand. Wolf bandits are incredibly strong and can also manipulate the power of wind to a certain extent, which is equivalent to low-level soul beasts. Each wolf bandit is no less than a level twenty or thirty soul master. Moreover, they are bloodthirsty by nature and will fight to the death once attacked. They are extremely difficult to deal with. Fortunately, Xiao San was cautious, otherwise we would have faced their siege if we rushed up."

Ma Hongjun couldn't help but ask, "Then what do we do? Just let it go like this?"

Dai Mubai snorted coldly, "In our Star Luo Empire, there used to be several gangs of wolf bandits who roamed around causing endless harm. Now that we've encountered them, how can we just let it go? Xiao San, you make the arrangements. We must eliminate these wolf bandits no matter what. We can't defeat so many wolf bandits in a direct confrontation, but there must be other ways."

Tang San narrowed his eyes slightly. If Hu Liena, who had once roamed the City of Slaughter with him, were here, she would immediately recognize that this was the expression Tang San would have before each killing.

The sound of tearing fabric came from behind Tang San, and the blood-red Eight Spider Lances burst out from his back, gradually unfolding behind him.

"Assassinate them. We won't leave until they're all wiped out. These creatures shouldn't exist on this continent. Follow me." As he spoke, a blue halo emanated from Tang San's feet, rapidly spreading outwards. This was a mountain forest, so naturally, there were plenty of Blue Silver Grass, a plant with extremely vigorous life force. Tang San's spiritual power spread rapidly under the influence of the Blue Silver Domain.

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun both felt a strange scene appear before their eyes; everything around them seemed to become clearer. The Blue Silver Domain not only endowed them with a vast life force but also connected them with their spiritual power. Of course, this was different from the mutual transmission of spiritual power within Ning Rongrong's Illusionary Space. It was only Tang San transmitting it to them unilaterally. What Tang San transmitted to them was precisely the spiritual power amplified by the Blue Silver Domain, allowing him to probe the location of the wolf bandits.

Tang San raised his hand forward, lowered his body, and moved forward at high speed, his chest only about half a foot from the ground, using the Eight Spider Lances to support his body.

Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai also sped up, closely following behind him. The three of them crept up behind the wolf bandits.

Soon, they had caught up with the wolf bandit army from the rear. Thanks to the concealment of their presence by the Blue Silver Domain, the wolf bandits, despite their extremely keen sense of smell, were unable to detect them. Moreover, the bloody scent emanating from the villagers' corpses also provided cover.

The closer they got, the clearer Tang San and his companions could see the gruesome deaths of the villagers' corpses. The wolf bandits, who moved through the forest as if it were flat ground, even tore off pieces of flesh from the corpses and ate them as they walked.

When they were only twenty meters away, Tang San stopped. The Blue Silver Domain was now fully effective; without a word, his mental energy, transmitted to Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai, had already locked onto the three wolf bandits at the back. Tang San pointed to himself, then to the wolf bandit in the center. Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun nodded simultaneously, indicating they understood. The three of them, like three shadow hunters hidden in the forest, silently darted forward.

With a flick of his wrist, Tang San sprang up like a human-faced demonic spider, his body curling up in mid-air. He retracted the eight spider spears to his side, trying to make as little noise as possible. When he reached the back of the wolf bandit carrying the corpse, the eight blood-red spears suddenly unfurled. A thick Blue Silver Emperor spear was flung from his hand and tied to the wolf bandit's mouth. With a soft "plop," the eight spider spears forcefully pierced into the wolf bandit's body.

The wolf bandit's body stiffened. He tried to scream, but the Blue Silver Emperor sword binding his mouth suddenly grew larger, its sharp, poisonous spikes piercing his lips. He couldn't even open his mouth, let alone scream. A flash of blood appeared on the Eight Spider Lances, and the wolf bandit's body instantly withered and slowly went limp.

Tang San lifted the corpse on his back with his right hand and gently placed the villager and the wolf bandit's shriveled corpse on the ground at the same time. He raised his hand to close the villager's unseeing eyes and whispered to him: Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you.

While Tang San was making his move, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun also sprang into action. Dai Mubai's actions were the most direct and effective. As he darted forward, his martial spirit was released, and by the time his body, far stronger than the wolf bandits, reached the enemy's back, the outcome was already decided.

Two large, tiger-like paws pressed one against the back of the wolf bandit's head and covered his mouth with the other. With a swift movement, the wolf bandit's thick neck was easily flipped like a noodle. His head was turned 180 degrees, right face to face with Dai Mubai.

The last thing the wolf bandit saw in his life was the chilling murderous aura emanating from Dai Mubai's evil eyes.

Ma Hongjun's killing speed was no slower than Tang San's or Dai Mubai's. To avoid revealing himself by changing the air temperature after releasing his martial soul, he didn't use it. His obese body nimbly approached the wolf bandit, his right arm suddenly turning bright red, his sleeve instantly turning to ash, and his right hand directly pressed down on the wolf bandit's head. It was the eruption of the inner power of his Flame Right Arm Soul Bone skill.

Smoke rose from the wolf bandit's seven orifices, and his body slowly slumped down in convulsions. His brain had been burned to ashes by the fiery energy injected by Ma Hongjun.

The three men almost simultaneously and carefully laid the corpses down, exchanged a glance, and continued their stealthy advance. Along their path, they left behind the bodies of wolf bandits. Using the same method, they had quickly killed more than twenty wolf bandits without being detected ahead.

Just as they were making their eighth stealthy attack on the wolf bandits ahead, one of their targets suddenly stopped, turned around, and pulled down his pants to urinate. He happened to see Dai Mubai rushing towards him.

Dai Mubai reacted with lightning speed, his tiger paw suddenly reaching forward to grab the wolf bandit's neck and snap it. But just before he could control his opponent, the wolf bandit still let out a muffled groan.

Three more corpses fell, but this time, it alerted the wolf bandits ahead. Immediately, howls of wolves echoed through the forest, and more than a hundred wolf bandits turned around at the same time.

"Retreat." Tang San calmly shouted, and the Blue Silver Grass on the ground suddenly grew wildly, binding the bodies of the dozen or so wolf bandits closest to them. With a series of ethereal movements of his hands, more than ten sharp lights flashed, and those wolf bandits whose legs were bound cried out in agony, clutching their eyes and rolling to the ground. Each of them had a three-inch-long bone-piercing needle inserted into their right eye, piercing straight into their brain; they were already dead when they rolled to the ground.

The three retreated simultaneously, and before them surged a vast expanse of azure light as dozens of wind blades swept in, slicing their previous location into a chaotic mess. This was the Wolf Bandit's innate skill.

Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai weren't particularly fast, but they had Tang San by their side. Two Blue Silver Emperors were wrapped around their waists, and with the Eight Spider Lances exploding backward, Tang San pulled the two of them and quickly darted more than a hundred meters away.

Upon discovering the deaths of many of their companions, the wolf bandits' eyes turned bloodshot, and they charged madly towards them on all fours. Their speed was incredible, fully unleashing their wolfish instincts. Three-inch-long claws extended from their limbs, and their powerful muscles propelled them through the forest like lightning.

These wolf bandits were very clever; they not only pursued Tang San and his companions head-on, but also had a large number of them flank them from both sides, preparing to cut off their retreat.

"Little San, let's fight it out!" Dai Mubai shouted. Facing a large number of wolf bandits, the killing intent in his chest had been fully unleashed. He couldn't stand being chased by wolves.

Tang San quickly assessed the situation and abruptly stopped his retreat. A white halo suddenly bloomed from beneath his feet, revealing his Killing God Domain.

At the same time, the blue light emanating from his body suddenly intensified, and the Blue Silver Grass in the forest seemed to come alive. Centered on Tang San's body, within a radius of one hundred meters, all the Blue Silver Grass began to grow wildly, desperately wrapping around the bodies of the wolf bandits. This was the activation of the Blue Silver Domain evolution skill, Blue Silver Domain Entanglement.

Tang San simultaneously flung Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun away, both landing in the densest area of ​​the wolf bandits. Tang San himself also sprang up instantly, his Eight Spider Lances extending in the air as he cut straight into the wolf bandit horde.

As the tiger entered the wolf pack, Dai Mubai unleashed his first and third soul skills simultaneously. Under the influence of the White Tiger Protective Barrier and the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, his body swelled to over two and a half meters tall, his fur turned completely golden, and the sharp blades on his tiger claws snapped open, engaging in direct hand-to-hand combat with the wolf bandits.

A wolf bandit, unaffected by the blue-silver aura, leaped into the air. Dai Mubai roared and met the attack head-on, his tiger claws raised high above his head, then slashed down in a flash of golden light. With a whoosh, a cloud of blood mist erupted in the air; the wolf bandit had been sliced ​​into pieces by his machine-sharp tiger claws. Despite the wolf bandit's fierce charge, Dai Mubai did not retreat an inch.

Ma Hongjun no longer needed to conceal his martial spirit. A burst of blazing flames erupted, and a phoenix fire line, amplified by the Phoenix's Rebirth, reduced a wolf bandit in front of him to ashes. With Phoenix Wings unfurled, his massive body spun rapidly, using his enormous fiery wings to coat seven or eight surrounding wolf bandits with crimson-gold phoenix flames.

Tang San's eyes remained calm as he plunged into the wolf bandit group. These wolf bandits were indeed formidable; even though their lower bodies were entangled, they still managed to unleash a series of wind blade attacks while simultaneously wielding their wolf claws to tear at the Blue Silver Grass that bound them.

With a soft "thud," Tang San's Eight Spider Lances pierced through the body of a wolf bandit. Simultaneously, his body spun in mid-air, his jade-colored right hand grabbing a wolf claw that was slapping at him. A piercing sound of cracking bone came from the wolf claw, and another Eight Spider Lances simultaneously pierced the wolf bandit's ribs.

The bloodthirsty Eight Spider Lances became even more crimson. Every time it killed a wolf bandit, it would draw the bandit's life force into Tang San's body, making Tang San's killing instinct even stronger.

At this moment, the Eight Spider Spears demonstrated their terrifying destructive power. Not to mention being pierced, even a slight cut would cause the wolf bandits to collapse and die in a very short time due to the terrifying poison.

The wolf bandits' wind blade attacks didn't pose much of a problem for the three, as their offensive and defensive capabilities were still somewhat lacking. Dai Mubai relied on his White Tiger Vajra Transformation form to block the attacks head-on. Ma Hongjun used the blazing flames of the Phoenix Reborn and Phoenix Wings Soaring to neutralize the energy impact. Tang San, however, used his incredibly skillful Ghost Shadow Steps to weave through the gaps in the wind blades.

As Dai Mubai slaughtered the endless stream of wolf bandits around him, he couldn't help but gasp when he occasionally glanced at Tang San.

The number of wolf bandits lying beside Tang San was actually more than the number he and Ma Hongjun had killed combined. At this moment, Tang San not only possessed the Eight Spider Lances, but his arms were also like the illusory, shimmering hands of death. It was impossible to see how his arms moved; terrifying beams of light constantly shot out from his hands, targeting the wolf bandits' eyes, throats, temples, hearts, and genitals—vital points. In just a short while, more than forty wolf bandits had fallen beside him. Tang San, constantly shifting his position like a phantom, appeared to Dai Mubai like a demon from hell. Of the three hundred-odd wolf bandits, a third had already perished at their hands.

However, more than two hundred wolf bandits remained, and they had completely surrounded the three. The effect of the blue silver aura gradually faded, and these wolf bandits, freed from their restraints, showed no fear despite the death of their companions. Instead, they launched an even more frenzied attack. The blood had turned their eyes blood red from the shock.

The reason Tang San and his companions chose close combat wasn't because it would be the fastest way to kill their opponents. On the contrary, while Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai possessed wide-range attack skills, those would significantly deplete their soul power. Close combat, though more dangerous, consumed far more soul power. As for their stamina, it was honed through Grandmaster's grueling training. They had also consumed celestial herbs and enhanced their physical attributes with soul rings and soul bones. Given the current situation, even if they killed all the wolf bandits, they wouldn't run out of stamina.

"Mu Bai, be careful!" Tang San's shout rang in Dai Mu Bai's ears. Despite fighting fiercely, he didn't ignore his surroundings at all. The Blue Silver Domain clearly transmitted every change on the battlefield into his mind. However, in this intense battle, he couldn't care less about sharing it with his companions through the Blue Silver Domain.

Right beside Dai Mubai, a wolf-like bandit of exceptionally large size with bluish fur silently pounced. It made no sound. It looked more like a wolf. A faint bluish light surged around its robust body, and it was this bluish light's control over the air and its own aura that prevented Dai Mubai from noticing it.

At the same time that blue wolf appeared, another wolf appeared behind Tang San and Ma Hongjun, quietly pouncing towards them.
