253: cannon fodder

The Sealed Land is vast.

It is far larger than Shen Xi and his companions could ever comprehend.

And the number of Yao Beasts sealed here is far more astonishing than Shen Xi's estimate of several hundred thousand.

These Yao Beasts are divided into different races, hostile and competitive with each other, ultimately partitioning the Sealed Land into eight areas.

Each area is inhabited by a Yao Beast Royal Clan and its subordinate Yao Beast tribes, both large and small.

The Southwest Area is the territory of the Flame Demon.

The Yao Beasts active in the Southwest Area are all affiliated with the Flame Demon.

Shen Xi and his group have entered and exited the Sealed Land several times; although they have been continuously delving deeper, they are actually still lingering in the Southwest Area.

The Yao Beasts they encountered are naturally subordinates of the Flame Demon Royal Clan.

This has made the Flame Demon Royal Clan hate Shen Xi and his group to the core for a long time, but due to the Concealing Qi Potion, they have been unable to find the whereabouts of Shen Xi and his group, making it impossible to encircle and intercept them.

Now, Ling Feng intends to reveal the whereabouts of Shen Xi and his group to the Flame Demon. Whether it is to hunt them down for blood food or to defend its rule and maintain its prestige, the Flame Demon will absolutely not let Shen Xi and his companions go.

At that time, a grand hunt will definitely be launched.

And this perfectly aligns with Ling Feng's intentions.

Using the Flame Demon as a tool, he will force out Shen Xi and his group's trump cards.

As for whether Shen Xi and his companions will die at the hands of the Flame Demon Royal Clan, Ling Feng is not worried.

If Shen Xi and his group really die, he will not just stand by and watch the blood food be monopolized by the Flame Demon Royal Clan; he will definitely want a share.

No matter what, Ling Feng will not suffer a loss.

“Very well, take my token and personally go to the Flame Demon Royal Clan's camp. We don't need to interfere with the rest; they know what to do.”

As he spoke, a token appeared in Ling Feng's hand.

The token exuded a bloodthirsty Qi, sending shivers down one's spine.

This is a token that every Demon Beast Leader possesses, representing status and position.

Only with this token can a Head meet the Flame Demon Head.

After all, they are not of the same race, and the Flame Demon Head is also not an easy opponent. If there is no token, the Head might very well die in the territory of the Flame Demon Royal Clan.

One must know that between different races, there is inherently a lot of competition.

“Yes!”

The Head respectfully took the token.

He carefully put the token into his bosom; the value of this token was truly too precious.

In the Sealed Land, the Ranks are strict, and the class divisions are clear.

Yao Beasts are divided into two levels: Leaders and non-Leaders.

Simply put, no matter what race you are, whether Royal Clan, common tribe, or slave tribe, there is basically no difference; you are all just Yao Beasts.

At most, due to coming from different Yao Beast races, there are distinctions in status, high or low, noble or humble.

But once one's strength reaches a certain level, it becomes completely different, and one will gain the status of a Leader.

This status represents the leader of a Yao Beast race, and also signifies that this Yao Beast race has truly secured a place in the Sealed Land.

This is a token personally sent from the core area of the Sealed Land, a symbol of status.

And with this token, no matter which Yao Beast race one visits, one will be revered. This is a lofty status that transcends the limitations of any Yao Beast race.

Because of this, a Head without a token might very well go to the Flame Demon Royal Clan's territory and never return.

But with the token, as long as he does not actively attack the Flame Demon Royal Clan, out of respect for the token, the Flame Demon Royal Clan will show him friendliness and not easily make a move.

This is the supreme status of a Demon Beast Leader in the Sealed Land.

It is also for this reason that when Shen Xi and his group appeared, these Demon Beast Leaders immediately united.

To be precise, their identity no longer belongs to a specific Yao Beast race, but to the entire Sealed Land, as the leaders of all Yao Beasts.

Of course, due to different origins and different Yao Beast races, these Demon Beast Leaders are ostensibly the common leaders of all Yao Beasts in the Sealed Land, but privately, they still have their own selfish motives.

Just like Ling Feng, he wants to force Shen Xi and his group into danger, thereby exhausting their trump cards.

But he will not let the Wind Swift Beast Royal Clan do this, as the casualties would be too heavy.

Therefore, he secretly found the Head and asked him to find a way to incite the Flame Demon Royal Clan to act as cannon fodder.

“Go! I await your good news!”

Leaving these words, Ling Feng vanished from his spot.

He still had to secretly monitor Shen Xi and his group, to personally witness them exhaust their trump cards.

Only then could he be completely at ease... That night.

Upon learning of the whereabouts of Shen Xi and his group, the Flame Demon Royal Clan was filled with murderous intent.

During this time, they had long harbored a deep hatred for these audacious clowns who dared to stir up trouble in their territory.

Unfortunately, although the Flame Demon Royal Clan possessed astonishing combat power, they had no advantage in tracking, and coupled with the Concealing Qi Potion, they simply couldn't find the whereabouts of Shen Xi and his group.

Now, having received a clue, they immediately smiled so widely their mouths couldn't close.

Furthermore, due to Ling Feng's token, they showed exceptional enthusiasm towards the Head.

“Brother, thank you for providing us with such valuable intelligence,”

The Flame Demon Head grinned broadly.

Scorching flames erupted from his mouth.

The Flame Demon, as its name suggests, is a type of Yao Beast born from flames, appearing as terrifying as a Devil.

With every movement, they are accompanied by burning flames.

“It's a small matter. We are all Yao Beasts of the Sealed Land, so naturally, we should help each other. Those damnable humans daring to cause trouble in the Southwest Area, our Wind Swift Beast race cannot stand by and watch.”

The Windrunner Beast Head said with a feigned smile.

“I like to hear that. We are all one family, so naturally, we should help each other.”

“Coincidentally, old brother, I have a small request, and I hope you won't refuse.”

The Flame Demon Head clapped the Windrunner Beast Head vigorously on the shoulder.

The scorching temperature, combined with astonishing strength, made the Windrunner Beast Head grimace in pain.

“Speak freely!”

“Old brother intends to mobilize all the Yao Beasts in the Southwest Area to hunt down these damnable humans, but I'm afraid we won't have enough manpower, so we still need strong assistance from the Wind Swift Beast race.”

The Flame Demon Head spoke again.

As soon as these words were uttered, the Windrunner Beast Head's heart sank.

This is bad!

He had intended to use a wolf to devour a tiger, but the Flame Demon Head was no fool; he wanted to drag the Wind Swift Beast Royal Clan into the fray as well.

This made the Windrunner Beast Head somewhat hesitant: “This…”

Seeing this, the Flame Demon Head widened his eyes: “Does little brother not want to help with this?”
