45: Mangy Dog

When this Rabbit Demon went to inform Wei Xun and his group about their ascent to join them, he fell by the roadside halfway and, too lazy to get up, simply fell asleep.

It was the same now; he only woke up for a moment when called to stand guard, but once he reached his post, he seemed to forget what he was supposed to do, sleeping so soundly that drool trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Although that Duck Demon was also dozing off, he would at least occasionally lift his head to look around.

But after a long time, the Duck Demon also couldn't hold on and fell asleep leaning against a large tree.

Just then, a dark shadow that had been hiding in the nearby Forest slowly stood up and opened a pair of scarlet Red Eyes.

"Children, it's dinner time!" After the dark shadow muttered this in a low voice, several dog-like shadows suddenly darted out from the Forest behind him, silently approaching Wei Xun and his group, who were fast asleep.

"Awo!" At this moment, the Rabbit Demon, who had been in a deep slumber, shuddered all over, suddenly woke up, then got up from the ground, walked to the side of the Forest, pulled down his pants, and began to urinate.

"Standing guard, standing guard!" The Rabbit Demon cursed while urinating, "Standing guard for what? You idiotic Instructor, there's nothing to guard."

But just as he was halfway through urinating, he noticed something moving in the grass in front of him, scaring him so much that his urine stream was abruptly cut off.

"What is it?!" The Rabbit Demon squinted his Red Eyes, looking into the grass, but the next second, a gaping bloody maw lunged out and bit his neck, leaving the Rabbit Demon unable to even let out a scream.

On the other side, the dozing Duck Demon only felt breathing behind him, so he reached back and scratched the back of his neck, saying, "Red Eyes, don't mess around, I don't like men."

But before the Duck Demon could turn his head, he was also bitten on the neck by a large mouth; the intense pain instantly sobered him, but he was decapitated before he could even cry for help.

At the same time, several other dog-like dark shadows had already approached Xiong Er, and one of them aimed for Xiong Er's neck, ready to bite down.

"Thunder Serpent!"

In a flash of lightning, a bolt of Thunder Light shot down from the tree, directly piercing the head of that dark shadow.

The sudden movement caused many Yao Beasts to open their Red Eyes and wake up, only then realizing that at some unknown time, they were surrounded by seven or eight dark shadows resembling Yao Beasts.

"Are you all tired of living? Still sleeping!" Wei Xun suddenly descended from the tree, spitting Fire directly to ignite a dead tree nearby, creating a natural torch.

This commotion startled the remaining sleeping Yao Beasts awake, and by the light of the Fire, they finally saw the true faces of those dark shadows.

They were seven or eight large Hyena Demons.

The Red Eyes of these Hyenas were all bloodshot, and their open mouths emitted a bloody stench.

"What are these things?!"

"Why are the sentries silent?!"

"How dare these Yao Beasts provoke us?"

The startled lesser demons all panicked; logically, the Demonic Qi emanating from them should have scared away most Yao Beasts.

However, these Hyena-like Yao Beasts that appeared before them not only showed no fear but also displayed expressions of insatiable hunger.

"Kill!"

At the same time, a voice suddenly came from the Forest behind the Hyenas; in an instant, those previously still Hyenas leaped up and pounced on the lesser demons.

"Xiong Er, it's up to you!"

Wei Xun knew that the other lesser demons were completely unreliable, so he shouted this at Xiong Er, and immediately used Shadowless Step himself, instantly transforming into an afterimage, bypassing the Hyena's encirclement, and charging towards the voice in the Forest that was commanding the Hyenas.

"Hmm?" The humanoid shadow in the Forest saw Wei Xun charging towards him, and his pair of Red Eyes suddenly narrowed, seemingly wondering why Wei Xun could detect his presence, even though he had clearly concealed his breathing.

"You've been following us all the way today, haven't you!" Wei Xun gripped his life-bound long spear with both hands, simultaneously using Thunder Light Palm to make electricity flow along the spear.

The crackling electric light illuminated the long spear in Wei Xun's hand, and also lit up the originally dim Forest, allowing Wei Xun to clearly see the true face of the figure hiding within.

It was an ugly Yao Beast with a twisted, hideous face full of wrinkles, and a bald head like a Leper dog demon, looking as if a Toad Skin Dog had become a demon.

Facing the electrified long spear that Wei Xun thrust towards him, the Leper dog demon actually extended a pale, twisted claw, like a vampire's, from beneath his tattered robes to block the attack.

Although he blocked the spear's thrust, the electricity from the spear body transferred to him, instantly making the Leper dog demon grimace in pain.

"Impossible!" The Leper dog demon roared in a low voice, then actually spat out a bloody mist, attacking Wei Xun.

Wei Xun was currently using Spirit Seeking Eyes, so he immediately noticed that there were dense bloodworms within the bloody mist; he didn't know what would happen if he were hit by it.

So Wei Xun immediately flipped and dodged, avoiding the bloody mist, while simultaneously spitting Fire to ignite the spearhead, wielding the flaming long spear and sweeping it towards the Leper dog demon.

The Leper dog demon, startled by the Fire, leaped back violently, while extending his other claw from beneath his robes.

Both of his arms were covered in pus-filled sores, and his long, sharp claws were also covered with the same kind of bloodworms found in his bloody mist.

If he were scratched by his claws, he would probably not die, but would suffer excruciating pain due to bacterial infection.

"Your flesh must be delicious!" The Leper dog demon grinned at Wei Xun, revealing a mouthful of blood-colored fangs.

"You look truly disgusting!" Wei Xun felt a bit nauseated seeing the Leper dog demon's appearance, which resembled a mutated zombie.

But the Leper dog demon laughed loudly, then waved his two sharp claws, moving with a ghostly gait, and charged back at Wei Xun.

The Leper dog demon's sharp claws were incredibly keen, like blades, able to leave a clean cut on a tree, and reflecting the faint chill of the moonlight.

Wei Xun dodged repeatedly, and through his Spirit Seeking Eyes, he saw that the Leper dog demon's Realm was at least Body Tempering Realm Layer Three.

Unlike the Instructor demons on Tiger Head Mountain, this Leper dog demon, although similar in Realm, had many more methods of attack.

"Don't dodge!" The Leper dog demon's sharp claws swung wildly through the Forest; the waist-high bushes in the battle Forest were all neatly cut in half by him.

"Stay away from me!" Wei Xun didn't want to get too close; this Leper dog demon was truly disgusting, and he hadn't smelled any strange odor from him just now.

Who knew that once the battle started, this guy would emit a foul stench like rotten pork that had been left for several months.

It was clearly intentional on his part.

"Heh hahahaha!" The Leper dog demon, having gained the upper hand, actually laughed loudly, swinging his sharp claws even faster.

"Spear out like a Dragon!" Wei Xun poured Thunder Light onto his long spear again, and as he leaped backward, he thrust the spear at the charging Leper dog demon; Thunder Light shot from the spear tip, transforming into a silver Thunder Serpent.

It shot forth like a flying arrow!

The sudden attack caught the Hyena Demon off guard, and it was directly pierced through the head by this bolt of Thunder Light.
