After fighting for another ten minutes, the Silver Haired Wolf Demon finally couldn't hold on anymore. Perhaps it didn't want to fight anymore. It flashed and began to flee into the distance.
At this time, there were only fifteen people left in the group of cultivators. Most of them were injured. Although they had defeated the Silver Haired Wolf Demon, they didn't have any actual gains. Moreover, they suffered heavy losses.
However, the Silver Haired Wolf Demon was faster than any of them. If they had fled just now, not only would they have been defeated by the Silver Haired Wolf Demon, but even if they had left this area, they would have been attacked by other Silver Haired Wolf Demons along the way. They might have suffered even greater losses.
Perhaps they shouldn't have come so far in the first place. Perhaps they shouldn't have chased after the Silver Haired Wolf Demon. They shouldn't have been greedy for that strange flower.
With such great losses, the group of cultivators naturally wouldn't give up so easily. They endured the pain and chased after the Silver Haired Wolf Demon.
Xiao Lingyu was even more confused. Although the Silver Haired Wolf Demon's condition continued to deteriorate, if it really went all out, even if the group of cultivators were lucky enough to obtain the final victory, it was estimated that more than half of the remaining fifteen people would die.
Paying such a huge price for a strange flower, was it worth it?
Xiao Lingyu naturally had to follow to see what was going on. After all, they had already seen this much, so there was no harm in watching a few more times.
At first, the Silver Haired Wolf Demon's speed was still very fast. However, it gradually slowed down, and the distance between it and the fifteen people was also shortened.
Xiao Lingyu could see that the reason why the Silver Haired Wolf Demon's speed decreased so much was definitely not because of hunger. There must be other reasons.
Seeing that the blood flowing out of the Silver Haired Wolf Demon's wounds had turned from dark red to dark green, Xiao Lingyu suddenly realized that the arrows and sharp swords were actually dipped in poison. Moreover, it was a strong poison that was effective against the Silver Haired Wolf Demon.
As the strong poison gradually took effect, the Silver Haired Wolf Demon's condition naturally deteriorated rapidly. That was why the cultivators had persisted until now, waiting for it to be poisoned.
As the Silver Haired Wolf Demon moved forward, its body was already shaking. It seemed that it would not be long before it was caught.
After about the time it took to brew a cup of tea, although the Silver Haired Demon Wolf had not been caught by the fifteen cultivators, it had already fallen to the ground first, and its body was twitching uncontrollably.
Just as the Silver-furred Wolf Demon fell, before the 15 cultivators could surround it, a group of unknown cultivators suddenly rushed over from the front.
Fortunately, the fifteen cultivators were able to reach the side of the Silver-Furred Wolf Demon first. However, the cultivators on the other side were also shooting streaks of light at them.
Among the 15 cultivators, 5 of them stood at the front, using their shields to block the streams of light. The other 10 cultivators took action to end the Silver-furred Demon Wolf's life. They also collected the corpse of the Silver-furred Demon Wolf and the ginseng.
With a series of explosions, the shields in the hands of the five cultivators in front were blown away in all directions. They also spat out mouthfuls of blood as they were sent flying far away. They only stopped after crashing into a few small trees. Their faces were extremely pale.
At this moment, Xiao Lingyu noticed that the group of cultivators who had been fighting with the Silver-furred Demon Wolf for a long time were all wearing what looked like iron armor, while the group of cultivators who had just arrived were wearing what looked like silver armor.
Now that the two groups of people were standing face to face, they gave off a completely different feeling. It was obvious that they were not on the same side.
"What is the meaning of this?" One of the armored cultivators walked out and asked angrily.
The other cultivators in silver armor quickly surrounded the armored cultivators. Then, one of them stood out and said in a tone that could not be refused, "Leave behind the Wolf King and the ginseng, or … die!"
That person's reply not only caused the armored cultivators' expressions to change greatly, but also caused Xiao Lingyu to frown slightly.
"No, absolutely not. In order to kill this Wolf King, more than ten of our Linggu Valley people have already died. This Wolf King and the ginseng are what we deserve!" One of the armored cultivators firmly refused.
"Hehe, if you don't give it to us, your losses will be even greater." The silver armored cultivator laughed noncommittally.
There were a total of 30 silver-armored cultivators, and all of them were in good condition. Although their cultivation was similar to the armored cultivators, they had an obvious advantage at this moment.
The armored cultivators' expressions became even more gloomy. After a moment of hesitation, a relatively young armored cultivator suddenly shouted, "Fight them to the death! Even if we die, we won't let them have an easy time!"
The young armored cultivator's shout was followed by the majority of the armored cultivators.
This group of armored cultivators fought to the end and paid such a heavy price to obtain the Wolf King and the ginseng. Naturally, they would not be willing to hand it over to others. Not only did the words of the silver-armored cultivators make them feel sullen, it also provoked their dignity.
"We definitely won't give the Wolf King and the ginseng to you for free, but …"
The armored cultivator first pretended to negotiate, then suddenly shouted, "Attack!"
The armored cultivators had a tacit understanding. As soon as the word "attack" was shouted, they raised their arms at the same time and shot out crossbow bolts, whistling through the air towards the silver-armored cultivators.
Although the silver-armored cultivators were prepared, the crossbow bolts were too fast and the distance between them was very close. It was inevitable that some of them were caught off guard and were hit. On the spot, a silver-armored cultivator's head exploded, and two others had their chests pierced.
"You're courting death!"
The smile on the silver-armored cultivator's face instantly disappeared. Instead, he looked a little ferocious. He shouted angrily, "Kill! Leave no one alive! "
The 20 plus silver-armored cultivators who weren't hit immediately took out their weapons and silver shields. Then, they charged towards the iron-armored cultivator.
The silver-armored cultivators had the advantage in terms of numbers and condition. In less than two breaths of time, they had already killed two of the more heavily injured armored cultivators.
Xiao Lingyu pondered for a moment, then jumped out of the bushes she was hiding in and flew into the battlefield. A cold light flashed and the silver moon saber drew an arc. A silver-armored cultivator's head flew high into the air.
A silver-armored cultivator's spear was about to pierce the chest of an armored cultivator, but the arm he used to thrust the spear with was chopped off by a cold light.
A silver-armored cultivator's saber was about to land on an iron-armored cultivator's head when his abdomen was pierced by a broken saber. The Nascent Soul in his dantian was mercilessly scattered in the next moment.
… …
After Xiao Lingyu entered the battlefield, he began to help the armored cultivators defend. He was in good condition and drifted in and out of the crowd like a ghost. Wherever he went, silver-armored cultivators fell into pools of blood one after another.
After killing nearly ten silver-armored cultivators, Xiao Lingyu felt that if he continued killing like this, it would not be beneficial to his future plans. Therefore, he slowed down and let the silver-armored cultivators who had already noticed his presence have a chance to hit him.
However, what made Xiao Lingyu depressed was that although these silver-armored cultivators looked very arrogant, none of their weapons could break through his body's defenses. Xiao Lingyu had originally planned to keep a low profile and let himself suffer some superficial wounds. However, the silver-armored cultivators' attacks were a little too weak.
However, Xiao Lingyu himself could break through the silver-armored cultivators' defenses. As he moved quickly, he used the silver moon saber to create a few bloody wounds on his body. Then, he was soon covered in blood.
Although his body was covered in blood, he still moved like the wind. He looked very much like a warrior bathed in blood.
In the eyes of the armored cultivators, they were naturally extremely grateful and impressed. Of course, they were also very curious. This cultivator who suddenly appeared did not look like someone from their village. Why would he help them?
Xiao Lingyu's appearance naturally turned the situation around. After leaving behind more than twenty corpses, the rest of the silver-armored cultivators ran away like rats.
There were only twelve of them left on the armored cultivators' side. Moreover, all of them were covered in wounds and were in a weakened state. However, they still forced their shaky bodies to move closer to Xiao Lingyu, wanting to thank him first.
But by the time those armored cultivators surrounded them, the person they wanted to thank had already fallen to the ground.
The twelve armored cultivators surrounded Xiao Lingyu, who was pretending to be unconscious. After they looked at Xiao Lingyu again and again, they were sure that Xiao Lingyu was definitely not from their village. One of them said, "He should be too heavily injured and might not have eaten for many days. We have to quickly carry him back to the village to treat his injuries. Otherwise, he will die here."
This person's suggestion naturally received the approval of all the armored cultivators. They first carried Xiao Lingyu away from the battlefield. Then, they found a place to roast some meat. Just as they were starting to recover, they carried Xiao Lingyu out of the forest as fast as they could. Along the way, they kept dripping fresh fruit juice into Xiao Lingyu's mouth.
Although the twelve of them had done their best, they were always blocked by some wolf demons along the way. It took them a total of five days to return to the entrance of the valley.
"Open the door quickly, open the door quickly. We're back!" One of the armored cultivators shouted anxiously as he banged on the big iron door.
When the other armored cultivators returned, they had already been discovered by the cultivators on the mountain peaks around the valley. Therefore, the door was quickly opened.
After the door was opened, two cultivators who looked relatively young came forward to welcome them. They did not look very happy and did not look like they were welcoming heroes back to their home. Moreover, one of them expressionlessly pointed at Xiao Lingyu who was lying flat on a stretcher and asked, "I don't remember this person in your group. I also don't remember who he is in our Linggu Valley. Are you going to bring him in too?"
One of the armored cultivators replied, "Xi Wei, you can rest assured. This person became like this because he saved our lives. We are only bringing him into the village to treat his injuries to repay our kindness."
