Nan Ye and his group discovered the demon spirit to the west, near the edge of a vast forest, where they found a group of demonic beasts that had devoured a woodcutter from a logging camp, not too far from Red Lotus City.
As the stand-in teacher here, it was impossible for Zhu Minglang to ignore this matter, especially since there seemed a possibility that some of the woodcutter laborers had survived.
Letting Nan Ye and the Nan Family disciples lead the way, Zhu Minglang, in his capacity as a teacher, went to the logging camp mentioned by this group of students.
The edge of the great forest was devoid of much greenery, dry trees standing tall on the flat land, their bare branches interlacing under the gray sky. Loggers would generally choose this season for heavy logging, since there was no need to deal with the bothersome foliage.
The logging camp was under the jurisdiction of Red Lotus City, Dwarf Mountain City, and Clearstream River City, three major cities, and was a large-scale logging operation. The so-called laborers were not actually civilians, but rather individuals who had committed serious offenses and had been demoted or criminals from the three cities who were sent here for hard labor!
Therefore, the place was actually guarded by soldiers, and if the several hundred prisoners gathered together, they could potentially cause a significant uproar.
“Only a demon with over a thousand years of cultivation could do as it pleases in such a large logging camp,” Zhu Minglang said.
There were hundreds of laborers and many soldiers armed with weapons present. Even if demonic creatures with hundreds of years of cultivation appeared, they would probably be killed by these people in a chaotic fight.
Demon spirits are powerful, far surpassing the physical flesh in several aspects, virtually immune to swords and spears, which is why they are not afraid of the laborers armed with woodcutting axes.
“As soon as the demon broke in and started killing, both the officials and the laborers were scared out of their wits and scattered in all directions. Particularly those guilty laborers, although they were shackled, many of them took the opportunity to escape, and the result…” Nan Ye pointed toward the bloodstains that spread out bit by bit along the forest.
They ended up being devoured by other little demons.
It was evident that the demon spirits did not act alone; they were often accompanied by groups of little demons. When hunting together, the demon spirits ate the flesh, and the little demons got to drink the soup.
“Didn’t you say you knew where they settled?” Zhu Minglang asked.
Nan Zhaobing coldly snorted and showed no desire to respond.
Zhu Minglang glanced at the young man who had disdain written all over his face.
Acting so arrogant here, if you are so capable, go deal with that cannibal demon spirit yourself, why come to me for help?
After being shown disdain repeatedly, Zhu Minglang had his own temper too, especially since he was the substitute teacher. When did students ever behave so arrogantly in front of their teacher?
Suppressing the urge to stomp on this contemptuous face, Zhu Minglang’s gaze fell on Nan Ye and the younger Nan Family boy, the only two who seemed relatively normal.
However, they remained silent, and instead, a long-haired Nan Family girl spoke up.
“T have found some scales and skin flakes. They are indeed hiding in the great forest, and this group of monsters is not skilled at hiding. Considering the strength of those little demons and the demon spirits, we dared not pursue them deep into the forest. We made marks and then went to Red Lotus City to inform the resident teacher,” the long-haired girl explained.
“If we go now, will we lose them?” Zhu Minglang nodded and asked.
These Nan Family children must have undergone training and were much more cautious than Senior Brother Jin and his companions. Being from a prominent family, they were surely led by more experienced elders on expeditions and taught various matters.
Although the academy also had teachers leading excursions, with the large number of students, it was difficult to cultivate this awareness in each of them.
“No, I can find them,” the long-haired girl stated.
“Good.”
En route to the great forest, the long-haired girl was searching for skins and scales left by the monsters, including excrement, which she examined with a bamboo strip…
Seeing this, Zhu Minglang frowned.
Why is such dirty and tiring work being done by a girl, while these extravagantly dressed Nan Family children do nothing?
“Lu Wenye, didn’t you mark the trail?” Nan Zhaobing asked disdainfully.
“It’s human teeth… It seems they have eaten someone again,” Lu Wenye responded calmly.
Was this the difference between being born with the Nan surname and not? Zhu Minglang noticed that this girl named Lu Wenye dressed quite simply and plainly, and her family was probably not very affluent.
She was more than likely a side-branch family member and held a much lower status compared to other Nan Family members. After all, there were two other Nan Family girls in the team, and they showed a particular contempt for Lu Wenye’s actions.
Zhu Minglang passed her water to wash her hands and asked, “So we’re on the right track then, we need to take care of them quickly, or more people will suffer.’
“They’re just a bunch of prisoners hoping to escape in the chaos, why bother caring about their life and death?” Nan Zhaobing said.
No matter what Zhu Minglang said, Nan Zhaobing was determined to contradict him.
Lu Wenye had a knack for tracking; she wouldn’t miss any detail, and when she activated her spiritual power, she could also see traces invisible to others.
This made Zhu Minglang view the girl with new respect; if she had been in his team at the time, perhaps Junior Sister Yang might have been spared from misfortune.
“Strange, why are there traces of a fight? Could there be other Dragon
Shepherds?” Lu Wenye found some broken scales on the ground and collected them into her small box.
“The trees here have been broken, it seems like the work of a large creature,” Nan Ye came running over to say.
Zhu Minglang advanced and discovered furrows in the soil that had been violently disrupted, along with some deep friction marks.
The bloodstains were not dry, indicating the fight had occurred not long before, which could help them locate their target faster in this pine forest.
However, what had been battling these monstrous demons?
“Follow me,” Lu Wenye said.
The others followed closely behind Lu Wenye. With so many pines around, the Flying Bird Pseudo-Dragons were no longer suitable for riding. They had to be followed on foot, watched over by one person.
The rest increased their pace. Among the Nan Family disciples, some had already summoned a few Green Forest Dragons in their growing phase. These dragons hadn’t reached the Dragon Child Level; their dragon might was not strong, so there was no need to worry about startling the enemy, and they could still provide some protection.
The ancient pines became thicker, their trunks obstructing the view, and low shrubs started to hinder their path.
These Green Forest Dragons understood forest magic, making the plants part their way…
Suddenly, an immense roar echoed through the ancient forest, whipping up fierce winds. The Green Forest Dragons in their growing phase were so frightened that they all retreated, no longer having the courage to move forward.
“Lu Wenye, go see what’s happening ahead; we’ll summon the Dragon Beasts,” said the woman adorned with fine clothes and a gold ornament on her forehead.
“I’ll go; you wait here,” Zhu Minglang intercepted Lu Wenye.
As a substitute teacher, he naturally couldn’t let the students take risks, especially thinking of the reckless actions of Senior Brother Jin, Junior Sister Yang, and the others. Zhu Minglang did not wish to see any more good girls lose their lives.
“Let him go,” Nan Zhaobing said.
“I’ll accompany Teacher Zhu. If something happens, we can alert everyone to surround and attack these monsters,” Lu Wenye said.
“I’ll also go take a look. I’ll use my flute to signal everyone to move,” Nan Ye said at this time.
Zhu Minglang had not yet summoned his dragon pet. Bai Qi was asleep; after every battle, he would enter a long sleeping period. After all, he was still in the growth phase and needed plenty of rest.
Big Black Tooth would be set aside; with its size, it might get stuck between the trees, ana It was not too late to summon It needed.
The Divine Green Holy Dragon, on the other hand, digested the Demon Bead at an incredibly fast pace. It was showing signs of waking up, and its body had undergone tremendous changes, feeling like it had fully stepped into the growth phase.
Was it because of the attribute compatibility?
When Big Black Tooth digested the Violent Catfish Demon Pearl previously, it took some time. How had the Divine Green Holy Dragon advanced so quickly in just a few days?
“ROAR
Another violent roar sounded. At that moment, in the Spirit Realm, the Divine Green Holy Dragon fully opened its eyes, seemingly awakened by the noise. It slowly unfurled its wings, like ironwood fans.
“Don’t rush; let’s see what’s happening first,” Zhu Minglang said to Little Qingzhuo.
Passing through the forest wall-like rows of ancient pines, Zhu Minglang, Lu Wenye, and Nan Ye finally saw the source of the blood.
The battle they were tracking had not yet ended. Beneath those thick ancient pines, there was a terrifyingly horrifying Ghost Wife Evil Spider in a standoff with another massive creature.
The claws of the Ghost Wife Evil Spider were incredibly long and sharp, stabbing into the ground like blood-red spears, while its body resembled a crawling giant woman, wrapped entirely in black scales. Its abdomen was swollen and writhing as though containing a huge fetus!
‘Wall!”
The Ghost Wife Evil Spider suddenly vomited profusely, disgustingly spitting out a Red Spider enveloped in sticky fluid. Within seconds, it broke free, and what was truly chilling was the Red Spider’s head—a grotesque human head.
It seemed half-digested and then fused with the spider embryo inside the
Ghost Wife Evil Spider’s belly. As the Human-head Red Spider emerged facing Zhu Minglang and the others, they could clearly see it was missing a front tooth!
Lu Wenye turned pale, her first thought linking to a human tooth…
Fortunately, the Human-head Red Spiders did not seem to possess much intellect. Controlled by the Ghost Wife Evil Spider, they turned towards their real enemy—the massive creature that had roared.
Dragon!
The foe the Ghost Wife Evil Spider was fighting was indeed a dragon.
There were no Dragon Trainers nearby; it was a wild Giant Dragon.
Demons prey on dragons; the Ghost Wife Evil Spider was hunting a dragon!
The dragon was entirely green, its scales like iron leaves, and its wings were half flesh, half wood. What astonished Zhu Minglang the most were the dragon’s green vertical pupils!
Forest Giant Dragon! !!
Zhu Minglang then noticed that he was indeed in an Ancient Pine Forest, likely part of the same vast forest he had previously visited near Dragon Cliff. And the Forest Giant Dragon currently besieged by the Demonic Spider and a Monster Group was none other than Little Qingzhuo’s mother!
Zhu Minglang looked further.
Indeed, behind the Forest Giant Dragon, there was a smaller forest dragon with a large scar on its forehead.. Even though it had transformed into its growth phase, the scar had not faded!
