The team members looked at Ye Feng with confusion, even the well-informed Wang Qin furrowed her beautiful willow-shaped brows.
This was a proverb from Ye Feng's original world, and they naturally did not know its true meaning. However, Bai Jing tilted her head and thought for a moment, and surprisingly grasped the general idea: "Could it be that our earlier argument with the Demon Slaughter Squad has attracted nearby beasts? The captain wants us to leave to avoid entanglement with those beasts, hoping that the Demon Slaughter Squad will deal with them, and when both sides are weakened, we can return to take advantage?"
Upon hearing this, all the team members exchanged glances; they found it hard to understand. In their view, given Ye Feng's personality, he would not easily compromise.
Ye Feng smiled slightly at Bai Jing and nodded, saying, "That's right, that's the idea. The beasts here are exceptionally sensitive; any significant commotion will attract many of them. No wonder the higher-ups of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect limit the number of Trial Team members to fifteen or fewer and require them to enter in batches to be teleported to different locations. Too many Trial Disciples gathering together can itself trigger a large-scale Elemental Wave, drawing the attention of nearby beasts. Our earlier dispute with the Demon Slaughter Squad has already attracted a large number of beasts."
"The materials from Soul Beasts are not easy to collect. If one is not skilled in collection techniques, a comprehensive gathering will take at least an hour!" Bai Jing excitedly interjected. "That much time is enough for nearby beasts to arrive."
As soon as she finished speaking, as if to confirm Ye Feng's speculation, a violent sound of fighting and shouting came from the direction they had just left.
All the team members were stunned; they now understood that their captain had employed a strategy of using others' strength against them.
They also recalled that aside from their enigmatic captain, the overall strength of the Demon Squad was not very strong. It was still uncertain who would win in a direct confrontation with the Demon Slaughter Squad.
By leveraging the surrounding beasts to wear down the Demon Slaughter Squad's strength, when both sides were mutually exhausted, they could return and reap significant benefits.
The group felt excited; their previous dissatisfaction vanished instantly, and their gazes toward Ye Feng were filled with admiration.
After all, Ye Feng's method could defeat opponents without bloodshed while gaining substantial advantages.
"Let's go watch a good show. Remember to be cautious; do not expose our whereabouts until the Demon Slaughter Squad has dealt with those beasts. We shouldn't take on part of their attacks for nothing!" Ye Feng said lightly with a smile.
"Understood, Captain!" the team members replied in unison.
"I am the vice-captain; I will lead the way!" Bai Jing excitedly waved her arm and stepped forward at the front of the team.
Under Ye Feng's reminder, all members of the Demon Squad restrained their breaths and quietly advanced through the depths of the jungle, like phantoms.
The sounds of battle ahead grew increasingly intense. Ye Feng spread his Soul Thought to carefully scout the surroundings, avoiding any new waves of beasts attracted by the ongoing conflict.
Half an hour later, they finally approached their previous location. As they looked around, all members of the Demon Squad couldn't help but gasp in shock.
The battle was incredibly fierce. Although the attacking beasts were only low-level magical beasts, there were an astonishing nine of them. Moreover, these low-level beasts were different from the Demon Lion Beast they had encountered earlier; they belonged to the Wolf-type Beasts.
Generally speaking, wolf-type beasts tend to be social creatures. Whether it is ordinary wild wolves, demon wolves, or the Blood Wolves before them, they usually gather in groups of three to five.
Social beasts often possess remarkable cooperative combat abilities. Furthermore, considering that Wolf-type Beasts are significantly stronger, the nine Blood Wolves in front of them, although most were injured, none had completely lost their fighting capability. Their attack strategy was particularly suited for overcoming stronger opponents; when one Blood Wolf found itself in danger, the others would rush in to rescue it, forcing several Demon Slayer Team Members attacking that Blood Wolf to abandon their assault.
The overall strength of the Demon Slaughter Squad was clearly superior to that of the Blood Wolf pack. However, since they were a makeshift team without any experience in coordination, they gradually fell from an advantageous position into a disadvantageous one and eventually began to be completely suppressed. If it weren't for three late-stage Origin Martial Realm disciples holding up most of the pressure, casualties would likely have already occurred.
"These Blood Wolves are impressive. They use the strongest among them to distract the most formidable members of the Demon Slaughter Squad while the remaining Blood Wolves focus on attacking those with weaker cultivation levels. If it were us, we would have probably collapsed by now," Bai Jing said in astonishment from her hiding place in the grass.
Wang Qin said with a pale face, "This highlights the importance of teamwork. These Blood Wolves have likely been together since birth and are extremely familiar with each other. Even if they encounter a lone Mid-Level Beast, they probably wouldn't be at a disadvantage. If handled properly, they could even exhaust a Mid-Level Beast to death."
"You know this too?" Bai Jing asked in confusion.
"My uncle's team almost suffered total annihilation under an attack from a pack of Blood Wolves," Wang Qin replied, seemingly recalling some terrifying memories. She bit her lip, her expression growing even graver.
"If it were us, we would have no hope of victory and would only be exhausted to death by these Blood Wolves!" Leihong, who had been silent until now, spoke up with shock on his face. "No wonder it's called the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons; even low-level magical beasts on the outskirts are so difficult to deal with. It seems that the Demon Slaughter Squad is in serious trouble this time."
At that moment, one of the weakest members of the Demon Slaughter Squad let out a piercing scream. During the chaotic battle just now, one of his hands was struck by a Blood Light emitted from a Blood Wolf's mouth. His hand had no chance to resist against this attack and exploded at the wrist.
Crimson Blood Mist spread out, and the smell of blood in the air became increasingly intense. The Blood Wolf seemed extremely sensitive to this scent, and its combat power surged dramatically, making the battle even more brutal. Several of Ye Feng's teammates were already pale with fear, their legs trembling slightly.
"The Demon Slaughter Squad is doomed!" Leihong declared.
"Not necessarily!" Ye Feng looked at the situation in the arena with a serious expression. After pondering for a moment, he shook his head and said, "Cheng Ze's strength should still be hidden. Don't underestimate the combat power of a Ninth Level expert in the Yuanwu Realm! The two short blades at his waist have not been used yet!"
"You bastards, do you really think I'm afraid of you?" Suddenly, a loud shout rang out as the conspicuous Bald Young Man drew the two short blades from his waist. With his Vital Energy operating at full speed, hot flames began to rise around him.
"What rich Fire Elemental Energy! He must be just one step away from refining True Essence and entering the Gangwu Realm. How is this possible? I remember he just reached the Ninth Level of the Yuanwu Realm; he should still be some distance from the peak!" Leihong's eyes widened in disbelief.
The rising flames seemed tangible, but under Cheng Ze's control, they did not burn his teammates nearby; instead, they forced back several charging Blood Wolves.
Ye Feng furrowed his brows. He had noticed that these Blood Wolves had always been extremely fierce; unless they suffered fatal injuries, they never considered retreating or dodging but instead adopted a strategy of attacking head-on and exchanging injuries. However, this time, the ferocious Blood Wolves were actually pushed back by the fire cloud of Vital Energy surrounding the Bald Young Man.
"His cultivation is indeed only at the Ninth Level of the Yuanwu Realm, still some distance from the peak. However, he practices a technique of extremely high rank—at least a Top-Level Fire Technique of the Profound Rank—and is infinitely close to an Earth-Level Supreme Technique. Otherwise, he wouldn't possess such rich Fire Elemental Energy right after stepping into the Ninth Level of the Yuanwu Realm!" Through Soul Thought exploration, Ye Feng saw through Cheng Ze's Fire Elemental Energy that was radiating from him.
"Ah, no wonder he's from an Earth-Level Family; they can actually provide an Earth-Level Top-Grade Cultivation Method for Various Forces to practice. In our Lei Family, only elder-level seniors are qualified to cultivate such high-level Supreme Techniques!" Leihong said enviously.
Ye Feng sighed lightly and thought to himself that it seemed some powerful forces in the Eastern Continent possessed foundations beyond his imagination. He wondered what level of Supreme Technique was cultivated by the leader of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect and those hidden Grand Elders within.
"Howl!"
Three Blood Wolves howled mournfully in unison. Ye Feng calmed himself and looked up to find that Cheng Ze had somehow jumped out of the battle circle. The two short blades in his hands danced like wheels of fire, sweeping through the dim forest space and creating two dazzling crimson fire clouds in rings.
"Crimson Flame Ring!"
Two fiery rings surged forward with the wind, swiftly shooting out from the tip of Cheng Ze's blade, darting towards the necks of the two Blood Wolves with lightning speed.
"Retract!"
Cheng Ze controlled the energy with his blade, utilizing the Martial Technique to remotely manipulate the two fire rings he had released. The massive rings tightened almost instantly at his command, binding tightly around the necks of the Blood Wolves as if they were physical objects.
"Sizzle!"
Under the intense heat of the fire rings, the black mist enveloping the Blood Wolves evaporated in an instant. However, the rings did not relent; they constricted even tighter, digging deep into the fur of the two Blood Wolves.
A foul smell filled the air.
The two Blood Wolves bound by the Crimson Flame Ring let out a final mournful cry before their necks were severed by the fire rings, their large heads thudding to the ground.
After their heads fell, there was no blood gushing from the severed necks. Ye Feng and others looked closely and nearly gasped in shock, for the entire cross-section of the neck had been completely charred to ash by the fire rings.
After nearly half an hour of fierce battle, Cheng Ze finally revealed his true strength, instantly killing two seemingly highly defensive Blood Wolves.
The Demonic Energy, which originally had a strong resistance to Vital Energy, proved ineffective against the constricting fire rings. The power of the Crimson Flame Ring was evident; it could likely melt gold and iron in an instant. Even ordinary Xuan-level defensive armor would be easily vaporized!
