Night Wind Centipede's words shocked all the monsters present.
"What exactly happened?" Leopard King asked solemnly.
"Alas!" Night Wind Centipede sighed lightly, raised his head slightly, seemingly lost in the fierce battle that had just taken place.
"Just ahead by the creek, Eagle King, Snake King and I discovered that man's trail. The three of us then joined forces to battle him. As a result, Eagle King and Snake King were killed on the spot, while I, gravely injured, knew that I was no match for him. To prevent him from escaping, I had no choice but to expend my last bit of strength at the cost of three legs to run over here and inform you..."
After he finished speaking, all the monsters present looked at Night Wind Centipede with great respect.
That battle must have been extremely fierce!
Even Eagle King and Snake King had died. Night Wind Centipede must have paid a huge price just to be able to run over here and send word!
"Night Wind Centipede, it is our territory's good fortune to have a loyal and devoted monster like you!" Leopard King said solemnly: "Rest well. Leave the rest to us. We will rescue the Monster Emperor and avenge Eagle King and Snake King."
Leopard King's words were met with unanimous approval from the monsters.
"No, no, no. To be honest, I am truly ashamed. To see the Monster Emperor captured and Eagle King and Snake King die heroically while I was powerless to do anything, I...deserve death!" Night Wind Centipede lowered his head, full of guilt.
"Night Wind Centipede, what are you saying? You, Eagle King and Snake King have done so much for our territory already." Pig King quickly added: "That man was able to defeat even the Monster Emperor single-handedly. You were still able to injure him heavily. That is more than enough!"
"That's right. We already owe too much to the other territories. With this, we completely don't need the Monster Emperors from other territories to make a move."
"So you three are our territory's greatest contributors!"
"Leave the rest to us from now on!"
"Everyone listen up! That man is already heavily wounded. Attack with all your might to rescue the Monster Emperor and avenge Eagle King and Snake King!"
After the voice subsided, the monsters were fired up, their morale higher than ever before. They quickly set off towards Yi Feng at full speed.
After Leopard King and the rest had left, Night Wind Centipede, who was on the verge of death just before, suddenly exploded forth with unprecedented speed.
In the blink of an eye,
he disappeared without a trace!
...
"This Cloud Road Flower is really not easy to find!"
Yi Feng drank snake soup and ate eagle meat while looking at the continuous mountain range, sighing to himself.
After eating his fill, and seeing that the sky was not yet dark, he decided to search the nearby mountains again. After all, he had time, but Qing'er might not be able to wait that long!
So Yi Feng picked up his small iron hoe and prepared to set off.
He had just taken two steps when he weighed the old turtle in his hands. Turning around, he hung it from a tree.
After all, carrying this several-jin old turtle all the time was tiring. Hanging it on the tree temporarily wouldn't matter since he would be back by nightfall, and no one would take it anyway.
...
"What's going on here?"
In the forest, the woman from the Sword Sect was amazed as she watched all the demonic beasts in the surrounding mountains converge in one direction.
That direction was precisely the place she had come from earlier.
It was also where Yi Feng currently was!
"Although I don't know why these demonic beasts are reacting this way, looks like your luck has probably run out this time..."
The woman sighed softly.
But she was powerless to do anything. After all, everyone had their own fate, and no one could remain lucky forever.
Fortunately, all the more powerful demonic beasts above the Demon Spirit level had gathered in that direction, allowing her to feel unprecedentedly relaxed.
"Still, I'd better wait until people from the Sect arrive before leaving!"
The woman pondered briefly. She had originally intended to leave, but she had already secretly informed the Sect about the events here yesterday. Given her status, there was no way the Sword Sect would not send people.
Although now was the perfect chance for her to leave the mountains, just to be safe, she decided to wait until the Sword Sect's people arrived.
At this moment, Leopard King and the other powerful demons finally arrived at the creek.
However, after reaching the creek, apart from scattered eagle feathers and the corpses of demons from before, they could not find any trace of Yi Feng.
"Where is he?"
Leopard King yelled loudly.
The other demons also scanned their surroundings sharply, not wanting to have rushed over here for nothing. That would waste Night Wind Centipede's intelligence obtained at the cost of three legs.
"Look there!"
Just as they were unable to locate Yi Feng, Pig King suddenly cried out.
Hearing this, all the demons shifted their gaze over.
Next to the boulder by the creek, hanging from a tree by grass ropes... wasn't that the Monster Emperor they had been desperately searching for?
To see the esteemed Monster Emperor hanging from a tree like this, the demons' eyes nearly popped out from anger.
"Listen to my command, rescue the Monster Emperor!"
