Chapter 141: Who Is the Cannon Fodder (Middle)
Hundred Beasts Mountain Range, crossing over Cui Ping Mountain, Qixia Mountain, and Gangzi Mountain, delving deeper inside.
The trees generally stand dozens of feet high, and the vegetation becomes denser, barely leaving any path to tread on.
The birds, insects, and beasts in sight are significantly larger than those on the outskirts, and also more aggressive.
Li Feng and others, leading many Beast Hunter Guards, stepped into this area, searching carefully.
"Brother Feng, traces of the Wolf Demon have been found, about three miles towards the southeast."
A subordinate skilled in reconnaissance hurried over to report to Li Feng.
Li Feng and Xu Shenjian exchanged glances, their eyes revealing a strange color.
Just as they were about to speak, Lou Yi interrupted:
"Just the few of us are enough to go.
Too many people might alert the target, and they'd become a burden to us."
"Alright!" Li Feng's eyes flashed, agreeing to Lou Yi's proposal.
He instructed his subordinates to keep an eye on the Cai Feng Squad.
Led by him, the five Full Cycle experts tightly surrounded Lou Yi at the center, heading towards the target.
"When you see the Wolf Demon, find a way to stab this dagger into its body." Li Feng handed Lou Yi a black dagger, "I coated it with Red-legged Spider Poison. This poison is extremely potent; even a Beast King would struggle against it, their strength diminished and movements hindered."
Lou Yi looked at the dagger, chuckling inwardly.
This thing is made of ordinary steel, not even a foot long.
And the Wolf Demon's fur is so thick, he'd struggle to pierce it even if it stood still.
It seems Li Feng isn't even pretending.
He's determined to force Lou Yi into a close fight with the Wolf Demon.
Under the threatening gaze of the five Full Cycle experts, Lou Yi 'reluctantly' accepted the dagger.
"Don't try any tricks!" Tan Lang warned coldly, "If you attempt to escape, we'll slaughter all your teammates!"
Tan Lang is the captain of the Star Phoenix Squad.
Tall and dark, with a sinister gaze, wielding a broad Ghost Head Saber, he looks like a formidable character.
He doesn't know yet that his teammate Hong Luan has long died at Lou Yi's hands.
If he knew, he'd probably go insane right now.
"If you manage to capture and kill the Wolf Demon, you'll have earned a merit, and we'll let you and your teammates return safely," said Fu Shan, captain of the Mountain Chasing Squad.
He was an elder with a slightly hunched back and graying temples, but his face was almost wrinkle-free, his eyes sharp and bright, intimidatingly so.
Especially his hands, wrapped in skin and bones, dark purple and black, with nail tips long and shining with a metallic sheen.
He must have practiced martial arts similar to Iron Sand Palm.
As for Xu Shenjian, captain of the Dragon Soul Squad, and Giant, captain of the Giant Squad, they weren't even willing to speak, only chuckling coldly, looking at Lou Yi like he was a dead man.
The group quickly traversed through the vegetation, soon arriving at the territory of the Wolf Demon.
The Wolf Demon had a body length of at least two spans, covered in dense red fur, its tail swung like a steel whip, occasionally breaking through the air with a 'whoosh'.
It was currently resting comfortably on the grass, its larger head's eyes tightly closed, seemingly asleep.
The smaller head moved slightly, maintaining a certain alertness.
Hundreds of meters around the Wolf Demon, seven or eight Beast Spirits guarded vigilantly.
Including enormous Wild Boar Spirits, Wild Horse Spirits with sharp teeth, and giant hippopotamuses with heavily keratinized skin...
If they recklessly charged in now.
Just these few spirits would be enough to give the Full Cycle Martial Artists some trouble.
"You go up first to engage it, seize the opportunity to stab it with the dagger. By then, we'll all rush in to slash it to pieces!" Li Feng urged Lou Yi, "Don't worry, its size makes it clumsy; you'll definitely find a chance!"
The implication in his words.
If Lou Yi couldn't make the dagger's poison effective, they might not act.
After Li Feng spoke, the other four moved closer with cold smiles, forcing Lou Yi to advance.
"Alright."
Lou Yi had just taken a few steps forward when Li Feng and the others still wore smiles on their faces.
Then they saw him take out a strange object.
This object was made with two hemp ropes, one thick, one thin, with a cloth pouch in the middle.
Lou Yi placed a fist-sized stone into the cloth pouch, then deftly spun it in a figure-eight pattern across his chest.
'Whoosh!'
The stone shot through the air at a speed several times faster than a regular arrow, striking directly at the resting Two-headed Wolf Demon.
'Awoo!!'
The Two-headed Wolf Demon awoke from its slumber in pain, letting out an extremely furious roar.
On its back, a stone was now embedded.
Under the force exerted by the wolf demon's muscles, the stone was squeezed out.
But it could be seen that the flesh in that area was deeply sunken, with blood seeping out.
With Lou Yi's current strength nearing ten thousand pounds.
The total kinetic energy of the stone thrown by the slingshot was tens of thousands of joules, comparable to a Barrett sniper rifle, though its penetration was somewhat inferior.
The wolf demon suddenly stood up, its fur bristling, blood-red eyes filled with anger, instantly locking onto Lou Yi and the others.
Upon seeing Lou Yi make a contemptuous beckoning gesture, it went even crazier.
It recognized Lou Yi as the human who hurt it last time. Today, it must bite him to death, along with his other accomplices!
"Howl!"
The wolf demon leaped, instantly crossing a distance of over a hundred meters.
After several more jumps, it was in front of Lou Yi and the others in the blink of an eye.
"Shit! You're looking to die!"
"What the hell are you doing!"
"Run!"
Li Feng and the others did not expect Lou Yi to make such a suicidal move, their expressions filled with shock and anger.
Without a second thought, they turned and ran.
Only a fool would try to confront a wolf demon head-on, which is akin to a martial artist.
Unexpectedly, Lou Yi threw a punch towards Li Feng's back.
Li Feng sensed the wind behind him and hurriedly dodged to the side.
"Are you crazy?!" Li Feng's originally honest face was now completely twisted, "The wolf demon is here, neither of us can escape!"
It was as if Lou Yi didn't hear, continuing to attack Li Feng.
'Bang bang bang!'
In an instant, the two exchanged a dozen fierce blows of fists and feet.
Li Feng's whole body rapidly circulated Qi-blood, turning his skin red, transforming him entirely into a small red glowing figure, just to break free from Lou Yi's entanglement.
Full Cycle Martial Artists have reached the limits of human strength, with each punch and kick carrying the force of ten thousand pounds.
But Lou Yi was no ordinary person.
His strength reached eight to nine thousand pounds, slightly less than a Full Cycle Martial Artist.
But to bind his opponent, delaying their escape, was no problem at all.
Seeing Lou Yi determined not to let him go, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Li Feng's eyes.
Raising both arms, more than ten black rhombus-shaped darts shot swiftly toward Lou Yi!
Each dart's tip shimmered with a purple-black ghostly light, indicating the presence of poison.
As long as Lou Yi had to evade, Li Feng was confident in escaping his entanglement.
Unexpectedly, Lou Yi neither dodged nor avoided, merely charging straight at Li Feng.
'Clang clang clang clang!'
The darts hitting his chest and arms bounced off like hitting something hard, sparks flying.
Lou Yi's speed did not decrease a bit, his fists continued to hammer toward Li Feng's back.
In desperation, Li Feng turned to block.
At this moment, a large shadow engulfed the two's heads as the two-headed wolf demon drew near!
"Howl!"
It opened two bloody mouths, snapping at Lou Yi and Li Feng.
Meanwhile, two fan-sized claws and a tail as hard as a steel whip whipped toward them!
The Beast King's strength alone was far beyond that of Full Cycle Martial Artists.
Not to mention its formidable defense, nearly impossible for those below a martial artist to breach.
"Get lost!"
Li Feng's face twisted, as seven strands of Secret Blood erupted instantly, his fists and feet flailing wildly, trying to fend off the wolf demon.
However, his desperate attacks only heightened the threat felt by the wolf demon, focusing eighty percent of its attention on him.
In contrast, Lou Yi, with his body surface turning a pale grayish-white, continued to defend passively.
Amidst the wolf demon's tempestuous attacks, like a small boat navigating the ocean, it wobbled yet never overturned.
"Ah!!"
In just a few moments of entanglement.
Half of Li Feng's shoulder was bitten tightly by the wolf demon's large head, eliciting a deafening scream.
The other four Full Cycle Martial Artists fleeing ahead froze upon hearing it.
