Swish!
Jiang Yi circulated the black essence forces to his legs and sprinted forward like lightning. It took him just a short moment to dash into the forest. Passing through the dense weeds and thorns, he spotted Su Ruoxue’s figure from a distance.
He felt weird when he saw that Su Ruoxue was just standing there and not moving at all. The Qian Clan’s scout obvious sent out the danger signal, but she wasn’t fleeing?
Had she been charmed by the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox?
Jiang Yi’s mind had a flash of thought which made his heart shudder. His expression became even more anxious, and his body burst even faster than before.
Jiang Yi! Don’t come over—run quickly!
A delicate voice echoed from a distance, which relieved that suspended stone in Jiang Yi’s heart. His didn’t have any hint of hesitation as he continued to sprint forward frantically.
Soon, he understood the reason why Su Ruoxue didn’t escape. She was facing against an elegant giant wolf which was looking at her. That giant wolf was covered in purple fur and had a body length of eight feet. It was just like a giant lion, and it even had a purple horn on the head, which made it looked like a unicorn.
Tier-three superior-grade demonic beast, Silver-Moon Demon Wolf!
That purple horn made Jiang Yi’s body tremble. Didn’t the scout from Qian Clan found a Three-Tailed Spirit Fox? Why was there a Silver-Moon Demon Wolf appearing nearby? The information of the Silver-Moon Demon Wolf flashed in Jiang Yi’s mind, and he soon had a realization.
If the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox was the most terrifying existence among the tier-three demonic beasts, then this beautiful giant purple wolf was the fastest among all the tier-three demonic beasts.
This Silver-Moon Demon Wolf didn’t have much attack strength and just had the speed of the wind. If this Silver-Moon Demon Wolf was traveling at its top speed, even martial artist at the first stage of Soul Travel Realm wouldn’t be able to spot it—let alone the Qian Clan’s scout.
Of course… saying that its attack strength was weak was just in regard to the other tier-three demonic beasts. It was still a tier-three demonic beast. When complemented with its terrifying speed, its attack strength was still rather astounding. Su Ruoxue wasn’t certain that her Purple Charm Divine Light could hit the wolf, which was why she didn’t dare to move recklessly.
Run?
Even the speed of a martial artist at the seventh or eighth stage of Soul Travel Realm couldn’t be compared with this demon wolf—let alone Su Ruoxue.
What should I do now?
Jiang Yi swiftly approached Su Ruoxue while quietly thinking of a strategy. The Fire Spirit Rock should be able to slay this demon wolf, the problem was… could he hit the demon wolf which had such speed? What’s more, Su Ruoxue was just beside him. If his Fire Spirit Rock was taken out now, it might burn Su Ruoxue into charcoal, right?
Swish!
The strange thing was when Jiang Yi approached the Silver-Moon Demon Wolf, it didn’t move; and its body didn’t emit any aura either. It just stood from afar and watched attentively at Jiang Yi and Su Ruoxue.
Jiang Yi sprinted to Su Ruoxue’s side and let out a breath of relief when he saw that the demon wolf didn’t move. He fixed his eyes onto the demon wolf and shouted,
Su Ruoxue, back off! Not too quickly and do not release any hostility.
Su Ruoxue swallowed a mouthful of saliva and didn’t move. She asked nervously,
What about you?
Silly woman, why don’t you quickly go?
Jiang Yi didn’t dare to move his eyes an inch and whispered,
This demon wolf cannot kill me. If you don’t go, you will just obstruct me! Retreat back to the stone cave, now!
Su Ruoxue looked at the demon wolf which was far away and looked at Jiang Yi’s broad back. She gritted her teeth and began to back off. She wasn’t stupid; she knew that if Jiang Yi could break the Man-Ruler Seal, then he would definitely have a method to survive. If she continued to stay here, she would only be a burden.
One step, three steps… five steps!
Jiang Yi and Su Ruoxue both let out a breath of relief—as after Su Ruoxue took several steps back, that demon wolf still didn’t make any moves. That chilling gaze was no longer locked onto her but Jiang Yi.
Huuu!
Jiang Yi was completely at ease when the demon wolf didn’t move even after Su Ruoxue was several feet away and already sprinting towards the stone cave. He then gradually let out a breath.
He might not have the certainty to slay this demon wolf, but without Su Ruoxue at his side, he was confident to take out that Fire Spirit Rock. If it was around him, this demon wolf would most definitely not dare to approach him and would instead be alarmed and flee immediately.
Fight or retreat?
His mind began to hesitate as his hand grasped onto the Fire Spirit Pearl while his hand was sweating with cold sweat.
Shh-shh-shh!
What made Jiang Yi tense up was the sudden movement from the demon wolf. He gradually took two steps to the side and revealed a small white figure at the back of shrubbery.
Three-Tailed Spirit Fox!
Jiang Yi was surprised to see the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox emerging from the shrubbery. He suspiciously blinked his eyes and thought that the fox found a helper this time after not being able to kill him the last time?
Buzz!
The little fox’s eyes suddenly lit up, and a sweet girl’s voice floated in Jiang Yi’s mind:
My Lord, we meet again. Do you still remember Xiao Fei?
Jiang Yi swallowed a mouthful of saliva and spoke nervously,
Little fox, what do you want?
The little fox’s eyes narrowed into a fine seam, seemingly revealing a sweet smile. Her eyes brightened up again as she sent a message to Jiang Yi:
My Lord, Xiao Fei previously mentioned—if my Lord doesn’t kill me, I will repay my Lord. Xiao Fei is here to repay you. Yes… Xiao Fei doesn’t know what to gift to you. Don’t you humans like to tame demonic beasts as spirit beasts? I brought this purple wolf as a gift to be your spirit beast. You can tame it now. This big fellow is under my demonic art. It will not resist, you know?
What?
Jiang Yi’s body and soul were both in shock; he felt like this was like a fantasy story.
This little fox was almost killed by him the last time, but his heart went soft and let it off. But it actually knew how to repay gratitude and gifted a Silver-Moon Demon Wolf to him as a spirit beast?
This wasn’t right… this wasn’t a repayment of gratitude? Not killing it meant benevolence?
Jiang Yi now understood why the Silver-Moon Demon Wolf didn’t attack. It seemed like it was charmed and was now a puppet of the little fox. Otherwise, with the ferocity of the demonic beasts, Su Ruoxue would already have lost her life.
Demonic beasts have always been natural enemies to humans, and the two races would definitely fight to the last gasp upon encounter. But why does this little fox have no hostility towards humans? What a freak!
Jiang Yi was confused; he didn’t think that a tier-three demonic beast could have a level of intelligence that was comparable to humans. It could take the initiative to send a message and could even understand human speech. This Three-Tailed Spirit Fox was indeed not like a demonic beast—but a demonic spirit instead.
Yes… it seemed to be the naturally foolish type.
My Lord, don’t you like this purple wolf? My demonic art can only control tier-three demonic beasts. If you dislike it, Xiao Fei has no other ways.
The little fox noticed that Jiang Yi wasn’t talking and had a confused look. Blinking its eyes, it wanted to send over another message.
I… like it very much!
Jiang Yi snapped out of it and gulped down a few mouthfuls of saliva.
If he didn’t take up this convenient opportunity, he would truly be a fool! He might have a lot of doubt in his heart, but he could care less. One of his hands held onto the Fire Spirit Pearl in preparation for any danger while his other hand took out the spirit beast talisman. He began to pour his essence force in it, and those golden wordings began to tame the Silver-Moon Demon Wolf.
Things were going so smoothly that Jiang Yi felt afraid!
The Silver-Moon Demon Wolf was easily tamed and kept into the spirit beast talisman. He could feel a trace of connection with the soul of this Silver-Moon Demon Wolf. That little fox didn’t have any strange behavior and seemed to be truly here to repay its gratitude.
Alright. My Lord, Xiao Fei has to go back home. Or else, Mother will scold me!
The little fox narrowed its eyes and smiled before turning and preparing to leave.
Jiang Yi paused and asked with doubt,
Little fox, why don’t you have any hostility towards me? Erm… I mean—you seem friendly towards me. Aren’t you a demonic beast?
The little fox turned around and blinked its eyes before sending a message:
Xiao Fei doesn’t know either. Perhaps it is due to my human intelligence since I am born. Xiao Fei doesn’t feel like I am a demonic beast but a human. Xiao Fei doesn’t like to play with demonic beasts because they do not have any spirit wisdom and cannot talk. This is why I always wanted to sneak out and make a few human friends. My Lord, you are the first human that Xiao Fei got to know. I hope we have more opportunities to meet in the future.
The little fox swiftly left while Jiang Yi stood in place—feeling like he was still in a dream. This was the first time he felt that this world was much more mystical than he imagined. Perhaps he might encounter even more mystical events.
