Chapter 479: The Thieves' Lair
Being cornered at the entrance by six Golden Core Cultivators, the two Demon Wolves felt an impending danger, realizing their intel had been flawed.
If there were six Golden Core Cultivators here, could there be hidden forces elsewhere?
Their lives were in serious jeopardy this time, and it would be wise to stall for time while sending word to their clan.
"Fellow Daoists, is there a misunderstanding? We are guests invited by your master. Since it's inconvenient to go outside, we can just return to the cave mansion," the two Demon Wolves said, attempting to retreat towards the cave mansion. It was clear that a direct confrontation would not end well.
"Hehe! No need!" Xu Lun sneered and led five Golden Core Cultivators to charge forward.
"Be careful not to damage the wolf pelts too much!" Xu Lun reminded the five as they began to attack. Over the years, he had been responsible for business and logistics, which gave him a different perspective on things.
With close coordination, the Golden Core Cultivators, outnumbering their opponents, took only a few breaths of time to decapitate the two Demon Wolves, who met their end filled with resentment.
Meanwhile, on another battlefield, over two thousand Human Clan members held Long Spears, forming more than twenty formations as they steadily advanced.@@@@
Facing them, two third-tier Demon Bulls led a large group of offspring, stirring up a billowing cloud of dust with thunderous roars as they charged forward.
These Demon Bulls were enormous, with the smallest one standing over ten meters tall, emitting hot breath from their nostrils, resembling small mountains as they bore down on the Human Clan.
Despite being vastly outnumbered by the Demon Bulls, the over two thousand Human Clan members displayed no fear on their faces. Their steady and unwavering steps produced a rhythmic sound as they marched forward.
Soon, the two groups clashed, and a strange sight unfolded. Although the Human Clan members were much smaller in size compared to the Demon Bulls, they held their own in the head-on collision, not yielding an inch.
From these seemingly small bodies burst forth a strength surpassing that of the Demon Clan. Combined with their disciplined formation and seamless coordination, they always managed to outnumber their opponents in local confrontations, gaining the upper hand against the Demon Bulls.
As soon as the two sides made contact, numerous Demon Bulls were impaled and thrown to the ground by Long Spears. The two third-tier Demon Bulls, however, began to show signs of agitation.
One of the Demon Bulls lifted its massive double horns, which grew to the size of mountains in an instant, and then brought them crashing down towards the Mortals below.
"Attack!" A loud shout rang out from behind just as the two horns were about to hit the Mortal formation.
"Kill! Let's exterminate them all! Eat their flesh! Claim their territory!" The White-Backed Demon Wolves roared and led the charge towards the Human Clan's camp.
They still had four third-tier Demon Wolves, one third-tier Demon Bull, countless second-tier and first-tier Demonic Beasts, and even many Demonic Beasts from nearby small tribes that they had coerced into joining their ranks.
With the aid of the Tailless Demon Wolves and Xiao Hei, who could launch a surprise attack from within, their current strength still gave them a considerable advantage.
"Hehe! Even if you have a few more Golden Core Stage slaves, what difference does it make? I can still crush Yunxia Mountain!" The White-Backed Demon Wolves proclaimed boldly.
At that moment, more than thirty Golden Core Cultivators emerged from the rear of the Human Clan, each wielding a Magic Weapon and hovering in mid-air, their gazes coldly fixed on the five third-tier Demonic Beasts.
Good heavens! How could they continue this battle? It felt as if they had stirred up a hornet's nest. And where were all these Golden Core Cultivators coming from?
Moreover, over thirty Golden Core Cultivators constituted a formidable force. Before the fall of the East Zhou Cultivation Realm, it would have rivaled a large Sect.
Suddenly, the White-Backed Demon Wolves, charging ahead, paused. It dawned on them that they might have walked into a trap and gotten themselves into big trouble.
Previously, the East Zhou had witnessed numerous groups of Human Clan Golden Core Cultivators who had committed atrocities such as arson, murder, and pillaging. They left no survivors, not even corpses, and scorched the earth wherever they went. Their actions had struck fear into all the Demons.
"Damn! Why didn't I think of this earlier?" The White-Backed Demon Wolves cursed themselves for not paying attention to this possibility.
Especially that Tailless Demon Wolf, who had already infiltrated their lair, had been utterly clueless and had provided them with false information that led to this disastrous situation.
"Stand your ground! Charge!" The White-Backed Demon Wolves shouted defiantly, fearlessly facing their predicament.
At the same time, they urged all the Demonic Beasts to charge forward recklessly. Meanwhile, they subtly slowed down their own advance, gradually falling back to the rear of the pack.
Having successfully driven all the lower-tier Demonic Beasts to charge ahead, the White-Backed Demon Wolves, accompanied by two clever Demon Wolves, turned and fled into the distance.
