Don't farm, cultivate immortality!

Although I had heard that there were demons here before I came, I still couldn't help but feel afraid when I actually saw them.

The fact that the Taoist priest was going to "spar" with such a terrifying wolf demon inevitably made people worry about his safety.

What's even more frightening is that if the Taoist is defeated, these seemingly friendly monsters might suddenly change their faces, revealing their fangs and claws, and come to devour him.

"Are you really going to gamble with this wolf demon?" Bai Yu looked at Zhuang Xing and Yun Ling, frowned slightly, and glanced at the giant wolf over there. "Are you confident you can win?"

A few days ago, she received a letter from Zhuang Xing. After going to Qingxuan Mountain, she learned the truth and summoned the children who had come down the mountain with her that year at Zhuang Xing's invitation, and they became the team today.

She wasn't afraid of demons, and she and the children from back then trusted Zhuang Xing enough to accompany him to keep their appointment.

On her way here, she had already witnessed Zhuang Xing and Yun Ling's abilities, but the talking wolf still made her feel uneasy.

"It's not us, I can go alone," Zhuang Xing said.

"You're going alone?" Bai Yu frowned even more. "Didn't that wolf demon say you could call two more people? Don't be so overconfident. These monsters don't know how to hold back. What if something happens... Yunling, aren't you going to try to persuade him?"

"It's alright," Yunling said calmly. "No need to worry."

"Yunling, could you please get my sword?" Zhuang Xing took the sword from his waist and handed it, scabbard and all, to Yunling.

"Mm." Yunling nodded, holding the sword in her arms.

Bai Yu couldn't get a word in edgewise, so Zhuang Xing casually broke off a tree branch and headed towards the three-headed wolf demon.

Yunling remained expressionless, as if the Taoist priest wasn't going to gamble with the wolf demon, but simply to pick a flower or pluck a blade of grass.

Bai Yu wanted to say something more to advise her, but Yunling grasped her wrist and shook her head.

"Nothing will happen," Yunling said calmly.

She cared about Zhuang Xing more than anyone else present, but she also understood Zhuang Xing better than anyone else present.

Her heart was calm, not because she was particularly confident or arrogant.

However, while others were still uneasy, confused, puzzled, and apprehensive, she had already foreseen the ending.

"The three of you, please."

The Taoist priest stood before the three-headed wolf demon.

The wolf demon showed no manners and did not ask why the Taoist was fighting alone; it simply pounced on him.

Wolves hunt for only one thing: to fill their bellies.

When they go into the mountains and fields in herds to hunt a deer or a wild boar, they will use any means necessary, whether it is to surround, lure, or ambush. When winter comes, they will even chase their prey for hundreds of miles overnight, exhausting the prey's strength.

Humans say wolves are cunning and treacherous.

But in the wolf's world, there is no such thing as cunning or treachery. Everything they do is for one purpose: to kill their prey and then eat them.

They had already agreed on the rules with the Taoist priest beforehand. When the priest entered the arena, there was only one thing they could do: win the sparring match by biting the priest's throat, ankle, or arm.

They will stop at nothing to do so.

The three-headed wolf let out a long howl, a roar used to intimidate its opponents. The sound contained a powerful, resonant energy that would make an ordinary person lose their composure, stiffen their limbs, and become unable to move. But for the wolf demons, the howl made their blood flow faster and gave them more power.

The three captains were already the top wolf demons in the wolf demon clan. Even a mountain tiger, if targeted by them, would only die on the spot, bitten to death. At most, they would leave a few non-fatal scratches on the wolf's body before dying.

But the Taoist priest did not move an inch amidst the attack. His only action was to raise the brittle branch in his hand and gently swing it.

An invisible sword aura flowed out smoothly, drawing an arc.

The wolf demon felt a sudden weight on its body and fell heavily to the ground.

Dust rose all around, and from within the dust came the voice of the Taoist priest.

"You three are too kind."

Only when the dust settles can we see what kind of scene it was.

Only the Taoist's foothold remained. A complete circle was drawn around the Taoist, and the bluestone along the circle was cut into two smooth halves. The three-headed wolf demon was also in the arc, which passed through their waist, legs and head.

The wolf demon stood up and looked down at the ground beneath him, where the ground was still a fine, thread-like arc.

They suddenly realized that if the Taoist had wanted to kill them, they would have been cut in two, just like the stone.

Chapter 327 Professional Matching

The three-headed wolf demons sniffed and scratched each other.

Their claws slashed across each other's sides, as if checking if the other was injured.

After a final inspection, they found that they hadn't lost even a few feathers. The Taoist kept his word and stopped when he said he would stop.

“You win,” said the largest wolf demon. “You can defeat three centurions at once. In our pack, you can be the first wolf to eat meat. If we encounter you, we won’t fight you. We can follow your orders.”

“Then please, the three of you, sit down under that tree over there,” Zhuang Xing replied. “So that we can continue our previous conversation.”

"it is good."

The wolf demon, no longer displaying its previous ferocity, obediently sat down under the tree and retracted its claws.

The young people were surprised; they hadn't expected Zhuang Xing to subdue the three-headed wolf demon so easily.

Monsters don't seem as scary as I imagined.

Zhuang Xing turned around and took his sword back from Yunling. At this moment, a black cat walked towards the Taoist, carrying a quail in its mouth, and placed it at the Taoist's feet.

The black cat said, "This is a bird, not a mouse."

Ten days ago, Zhuang Xing treated the black cat to fish; ten days later, the black cat came to treat Zhuang Xing to quail.

Zhuang Xing was a little troubled by the black cat's good intentions, not knowing how to explain to it that human and cat diets are not the same.

I can't just accept this quail with a clear conscience and let it eat its fill of feathers like a cat.

"Thank you, Brother Blacktail, but I ate before I came and I'm not hungry now. You should eat this bird yourself, Brother Blacktail," Zhuang Xing replied.

"Save it for dinner." The black cat pushed the quail forward.

The young people watched this scene with curiosity in their eyes.

A talking cat that even delivers quail.

At this moment, the young people no longer felt so much fear of monsters.

Having seen such a large wolf demon, what is there to fear from a cat that is not much bigger than the palm of your hand?

Taking this opportunity, Zhuang Xing introduced the black cat to the people beside him.

The black cat greeted the people around it, and they recognized each other.

Zhuang Xing simply brushed off the topic of quails.

With the wolf demon's ordeal over, the old fox, seeing that the new person the Taoist had brought was getting along well with the demon, finally felt a weight lifted from his heart.

At least for now, humans and demons are still getting along peacefully, without any real enmity between them.

Zhuang Xing didn't dawdle. Seeing that the sun had risen high overhead and it was noon, he continued to attend to important matters.

The young man traveling with him uncovered the tarpaulin covering the wooden cart, revealing many things the monsters had never seen before. They only recognized the ropes, but couldn't discern the purpose of the strange iron and wooden objects.

They are called weapons, but they are too big and too complicated, not as useful as swords and knives. They are called tools, but they are not like carriages or hoes, whose function can be clearly seen.

These tools were beyond the understanding of the monsters; they couldn't imagine what they were used for, and could only watch as people assembled them.

The process was quick; in about fifteen minutes, several high platforms were erected on the ground.

The monsters hid in the shade of the trees, looking up at the sky.

Zhuang Xing spoke a few words to the old fox, who nodded and went to the side to call over the cat demon clan.

Six cat demons gathered around.

The black cat was among the six cat demons. Bai Yu asked, "Can you climb up there?"

Bai Yu pointed to the top of the wooden pillar, which was about six meters above the ground. There were several protrusions on the pillar for people to climb and rest.

“Of course,” said the black cat.

Cats are naturally agile, not to mention these cat demons living in the wild. They can crawl into holes to catch mice and climb trees to catch birds. Climbing a six-meter-high pillar is as easy for them as walking on flat ground.

Before Bai Yu could finish speaking, the black cat demonstrated its abilities.

With a light leap, it landed on the wooden post where people could stand. It was a plank that stretched across the post, big enough for a person to fit one foot, but for a cat, it could easily fit its whole foot on it.

The black cat landed on top of the pillar as if walking on flat ground, the whole process taking only a moment. It looked down and licked its paws.

Seeing the black cat go up, the other cat demons were not to be outdone and all showed off their skills.

They are like a cloud; when the wind blows, they float up in a flash.

Bai Yu was overjoyed. Cats are not uncommon, but a cat that can understand human speech and communicate with people is a rare breed. She had only seen one cat like this once.

This pillar is actually the prototype of a crane. Before she came, Zhuang Xing told her which demons would be coming.

Since the goal was to let the demons utilize their strengths, she naturally gave it a good thought.

Cat demons, for example, have a major advantage over humans: they can easily climb to heights that are inaccessible to humans.

This crane has been used in Yidu for half a year. Many parts have been exposed to sun and rain and have worn out. For example, the iron pulley has rusted, which greatly reduces its labor-saving effect. It must be replaced. The other load-bearing parts also need to be checked for cracks or weathering.

For humans, climbing to such a high place to conduct a thorough inspection is no easy task, but for these cats, it's a piece of cake.

Although Bai Yu didn't understand monsters, she had been in Yidu for many years and the Cattail Merchant Guild she had established covered all walks of life. She was well aware of the cat demon's potential.

If these cat demons could really come to the human world, then many troublesome jobs that require going to high places could be handed over to them, and many time-consuming and laborious things that might not even be done well would suddenly become simple.

She quickly called the cat demons down, sometimes having them bite the rope and climb up, sometimes having them carry iron tools and climb up. She also tested the cat demons' agility by having them assemble the pulley at a high place.

The cat demons were a little clumsy at first, as they had never done anything like this before. However, what Bai Yu gave them was not a complicated task that required special training. In about half an hour, under Bai Yu's command, they successfully wrapped a rope around the pillar, transported the parts up, and assembled them according to the requirements.

They even learned the most basic use of hammers and nails, but they couldn't do it like humans. One person could pick up a hammer and nail; at least three cats needed to work together: one cat to place the nail, and two cats to hold the hammer and hammer it.

Like the black cat, several cat demons can now stand on two legs, allowing them to use these tools more effectively.

Bai Yu was pleasantly surprised to witness the abilities of these cat demons, and for a moment, many things that the cat demons could do came to mind.

The sun is shining and the wind is beautiful.

The cat demons completed the test as Bai Yu had requested.
