Chapter Eighty-One: Great Harvest

  As soon as the battle began, Guo Fei discovered that summoning two Earth Soul Ghost Guards was a good idea. Although they were slightly inferior when dealing with higher-level demonic beasts, they were incredibly effective against ordinary wild beasts that had not yet awakened to their beast souls. Their mist-like bodies pounced on the Xīng Láng (a type of wolf), and it instantly fell to the ground, turning into an ice-cold corpse. The efficiency was astonishing.

  Two ghostly guards were bloodthirsty by nature and charged towards the wolf pack with a loud shout, instantly sending the wolves tumbling to the ground.

  This made Guo Fei secretly worried, if on the Black Wall battlefield, there were large groups of ghostly guards, it was estimated that the human tribe's undead soldiers would quickly retreat. However, this is clearly unrealistic, firstly, the ghost tribe also rarely has such a large group of high-level ghostly guards, secondly, the weakness of these ghostly guards is also very obvious, their soul bodies can bully weak and inferior living beings, but when they encounter extreme yang energy damage, they are very fragile, and they fear the beast spirits of the demon tribe.

  The fiery red-headed wolf, seeing the situation, emitted a small, fiery red light wolf from its body. The little wolf floated in mid-air and rushed towards the two misty ghost guards. It opened its fiery red mouth wide and bit at the ghosts' souls, causing them to shriek and dodge in fear.

  The giant and the knight's corpse quickly welcomed them, the dark energy was deployed, the gray mane was horizontal and vertical, stabbing towards the fiery red beast soul. The beast soul could not withstand the cold gray energy damage, turned around and rushed to the red wolf, merged into its body.

  Seven corpse soldiers charged forward, two ghost guards dodged the two-headed wolf that could separate its body and attack, and attacked the ordinary wolf. Guo Fei transformed into a ninja, holding two flying knives in his hand, always on guard, but what made Guo Fei depressed was that he didn't even have a chance to make a move.

  The three-headed wolf was already exhausted, and under the pursuit of the fierce corpse soldiers, it quickly retreated to the depths of the cave, eventually being forced back into a larger karst cave in the middle of the mountain.

  Guo Fei stood at the entrance of the cave and saw that, just as Hu Xiaoyue had said, inside the closed cave, three caves branched out. In two of the caves, there were two larger spirit stones, one was fiery red and the other was pale blue, which were exactly the Fire Spirit Stone and the Water Spirit Stone. In the dark cave, they emitted a dazzling light, looking magnificent and majestic.

  At this point, the three-headed wolf was still guarding these two spiritual stones. It's clear that their cultivation improvement benefited from these three spiritual stones. From Hu Xiaoyue, I learned that demonic beasts' cultivation is extremely difficult, and they often kill each other for a small amount of heavenly and earthly spiritual objects. These three-headed wolves were able to obtain such spiritual stones, which is a great blessing. Moreover, the core part of such spiritual stones usually contains mid-grade or higher spiritual stones, which are extremely expensive.

  "Kill!" Guo Fei's face sank, and the seven corpse soldiers rushed up. The two wolf-like creatures were clearly fighting for their lives, their beastly auras appearing as they launched a fierce attack.

  The red flame wolf's beastly spirit sprayed flames at the big man, who suddenly leapt up, and a strong gust of wind blew out a grey misty aura. The aura rotated and instantly engulfed the flame wolf's beastly spirit, causing it to let out a mournful howl, clearly severely injured.

  The big fellow's body suddenly sprang up, and then another one was pointed out. The gray wolf directly pierced its belly, let out a mournful howl, and fell to the ground.

  "Halt!" Such a good opportunity to gain experience, Guo Fei couldn't let it go. With a light shout, he stopped the big guy, and his flying knife instantly shot out, stabbing into its painfully open mouth, and the fiery red wolf instantly died.

  A palm-sized, fiery red beast soul hastily emerged from the wolf's body, seemingly about to disappear. Guo Fei quickly took out a Soul-Sealing Orb and captured it. Now, Guo Fei knew that this beast soul was an unconscious energy entity that could be controlled by the consciousness of a soul body. When the soul body died, it would unconsciously leave the body, and if not sealed in time, it would slowly disappear into the world.

  Another white-headed wolf, under the knight's coercion, was also in a precarious situation. The big guy took advantage of the opportunity and suddenly stabbed it from behind with his spear, the grey wolf's body flashed and instantly pierced its buttocks, the dark energy entered its body, and it fell to the ground with a thud, and was trampled to death by Guo Fei in an instant.

  "It's really not right, snatching experience!" Guo Fei self-deprecatingly said, feeling a surge of cold energy flowing through his body. The ninja had leveled up, reaching level 5. According to Guo Fei's observations of the curved knife's virtual image, he was just one line away from leveling up, and finally did so after killing two wolf heads.

  Seal the beastly spirit of the White Wolf, and with a turn of his face, Guo Fei saw Hu Xiaoyue's straight gaze. He suddenly understood that she had a water-attribute physique, and this White Wolf was also water-attribute. She could refine its beastly spirit and demon core, after all, these were pure energies that would help her form a demon core.

  "Here!" Guo Fei thought for a moment, although he was also eager to get the Beast Festival reward, but compared to increasing his own troop's power, it seemed insignificant. So he handed the beast soul over to Hu Xiaoyue.

  "Thank you, Master!" Hu Xiaoyue smiled coquettishly, taking the sealed spirit ball and carefully holding it in her hands. She opened her cherry-like mouth and sucked in, and the white wolf's spirit inside the sealed spirit ball slowly emerged, transforming into a beam of light that was absorbed into her belly.

  "Master, can you send me in to refine it?" Hu Xiaoyue said calmly to Guo Fei. She was referring to the Soldier Symbol Space, where she could feel that the energy was easier to concentrate and less likely to disperse, and it was safe and less likely to be disturbed.

  "Hmm!" Guo Fei nodded and put it away with a wave of his hand.

  That tawny wolf's cultivation wasn't very high, not having reached the level of separating its beastly soul to attack, was already surrounded by corpse soldiers, had both legs broken, and lay on the ground wailing.

  Guo Fei didn't care about it, and quickly took out the jade bottle. Taking advantage of the two dead wolf's blood not having coagulated yet, he used a knife to pierce their hearts, extracted the heart blood, and filled the jade bottle with it. The symbols on the jade bottle emitted a bright light, Guo Fei was overjoyed in his heart, knowing that this blood could be used to make talismans.

  According to Zhao Xue's explanation, the blood of the demon beast that can make talismans is not much, only the hot blood hidden in the heart is the essence, containing thick yuanqi. The remaining parts of the blood are insufficient in yuanqi and difficult to extract. A little bit of squeezing out, the yuanqi has long been dissipated. Therefore, it can only be taken from its heart at the moment of its death.

  The White Wolf and the Red Wolf each took out two jade bottles of heart blood, and from the White Wolf's body, they dug out a blue-glazed demon pill, and from the Red Wolf's body, they dug out a fiery red demon pill. The two demon pills were about the same size, roughly half the size of a ping-pong ball. Although they were relatively small, being able to obtain the demon pills and beast marrow was already extremely rare.

  The yellowish-brown wolf was also slaughtered by Guo Fei, and its blood dripped into the jade bottle. However, the jade bottle's runes did not react, indicating that its cultivation level was not high, and its blood was not enough to make a talisman, which made Guo Fei slightly disappointed, so he poured out its blood again. No demon core was found in its body either, apparently its cultivation was just a fake Dan boundary, similar to Hu Xiaoyue's.

  However, Hu Xiaoyue currently has the energy of a fourth-level dancer in her body, and her cultivation is at least at the level of a high-ranking demon guard, and even one foot is about to step into the rank of a demon general.

  After finishing the wolf, Guo Fei examined the other two spirit stones and found that they had obviously been moved from somewhere else and were not native to this place. He wondered where such pure and large spirit stones came from.

  The fiery red spirit stone was abnormally hot to the touch, like a hand in boiling water; while the blue spirit stone was abnormally cold, like an ice crystal. Guo Fei stored them away in his military symbol space.

  Then he put the corpse soldier into the symbol space to recover his strength, Guo Fei also sat down, took out some food and wine from the symbol space, and took out the stove from the underground world, tore off a thigh of the wolf, and roasted it on top to eat.

  Jin Mao was also released by Guo Fei, and it dragged the wolf's corpse over, devouring it on the spot. Watching it eat the wolf meat, Guo Fei felt a sense of comfort. His own troops growing stronger day by day was his capital for standing firm in this world.

  "Go!" Guo Fei waved his hand, and the Ghost Guard flew out of the cave to scout and see if there were other demon hunters or demonic beasts arriving here. The Ghost Guard was originally a soul body, in the dark night like a fog mass, without special magical instruments and abilities it would be difficult to discover them.

  "Squeak! Squeak!" Three hours later, the two ghostly guards floated back, wailing eerily in mid-air, clearly having encountered a demon hunter. The ghostly guards transformed their bodies to mimic the appearance of the demon hunters they had seen.

  Kwok Fei gazed intently at the transformed body for a moment, a cold smile spreading across his lips: "So it's them, they've arrived so quickly, actually chasing all the way here, heh heh."

  Guo Fei took a look at the rugged and thorny mountain under the night sky, and a brilliant plan suddenly emerged. On such complex terrain, it was still uncertain who would hunt whom?
