Mortal Cultivation

Chapter 33: The Archaic Castle [II]

This sturdy and tall man was named Zi Heng. He was the leader of the bear demon clan of the ruinic forest. And Yin Hao was the leader of the Tiger Demons. Both demons were ninth-level cultivators, and they were both patriarchs of their respective races. 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m

“The place I rushed to was a valley. I found a human tribe fighting with a small tribe of the wolf demons in the valley. I was surprised to see the human hunters deep into the forest, since they rarely entered that deep into the hunting area.”

“Deep into the forest?”

“Howcome?”

“Why?”

Why are these people so bold, I asked myself too?” Phantom looked around, and then continued after a few seconds. “After checking, I found out that there are human spiritualists among these human beings. While I was trying to figure out what was going on, there was a sudden explosion in the valley. I took a more closer look and found that the human hands were holding a long barrel-shaped weapon in their hands. I saw that as long as the weapon exploded, a cloud of white smoke would be emitted from the front end. At the same time, the stones shot out were very powerful, and many second-level wolves were killed in one blow. I think its power might be hard to resist, even by the third-level demons.”

Yin Hao, who was listening, was surprised and said. “Oh? I also heard from the clansman that a weapon appeared in a tribe of the human race during the last two years. They said it’s very powerful, and it is very similar to what you described.”

.....

“Oh? Is this the case?” After hearing the introduction of the words of Yin Hao, Hao Yan couldn’t help frowning slightly, and let the Phantom continue to speak.

The Phantom nodded in acknowledgement and said. “When I found out that the situation was not good, I decided to help the wolf clan.I was about to go to the wolf clan’s rescue, when I saw all the wolves on the ground, dead. They were all killed in a blink of an eye. There were only a dozen wolves left, and they escaped to the forest. I thought, if you escape into the forest, humans will not be able to catch up, isn’t it?”

“Oh, true. Fortunately for the lower level ones, even for us too. I escaped a lot when I was a low level demon, otherwise it would’ve been really easy for those nasty humans to get me.” Zi Heng sighed and said with relief.

“No, wait. The matter is not over yet.” The Phantom immediately denied Zi Heng’s conclusion, and continued. “At that time, I had the same idea as Patriarch Zi Heng, but I didn’t expect the situation to turn again.”

“Oh? What change?” Mei Niang couldn’t help but interject.

“This Phantom found that when the wolf demons were about to rush into the forest, a dozen earthen spears suddenly rushed up from the ground, and all the wolf demon were nailed to death.”

“What? Are you saying that among those human beings, there are still high-level spiritual masters who followed them?” Yin Hao asked in astonishment.

Originally, when the Phantom was speaking, it was mentioned that these humans were mixed with spiritual masters, and it was not a big deal for one or two low-level spiritual masters to follow the hunts. These people were nothing more than some low-level magic, slightly stronger than ordinary people.

However, if high-level human spiritualists appear to participate in hunting, the nature would change. Humans gave such a hunting team a special name, called “Devil Hunting Group”. Specialized in killing demon beasts. The countless various demon hunting groups on the mainland had brought great troubles to the demon race for millions of years, and it was an existence that the demon race couldn’t simply allow.

Many of the human tribes who had been exterminated by monsters were mostly due to the presence of high-level spiritualists in the clan who participated in the hunting operations, which aroused the anger of the demons, so they were exterminated. This was also one of the reasons why there were very few psychics among the human tribes who live on hunting. For the safety of the tribe, it was better not to anger the demons.

But on the other hand, the demons would not easily attack the human tribes. Because every time the demons dispatched advanced monsters to attack the human tribes, a large number of advanced spiritists would be sent out to hunt and kill them afterwards. For the demons, the loss was definitely not small.

It was just that this kind of small battle between the humans and the demons was happening all the time on this vast Cloudy Spirit Continent. For the high level human beings and demons, they all just turned one eye and closed one eye. After all, without this kind of struggle, there would not be so many magic crystals and spirit crystals circulating between the two races.

Therefore, fighting could be regarded as a double-edged sword, with its bad side and its good side.

Phantom shook his head and said to Yin Hao. “It’s not the work of a spiritualist, but a member of the bear demon clan.”

“Curse on the enemies.” Zi Heng heard the words, and suddenly jumped up and cursed. “Why are you framing the Demon Bear tribe? My subordinates will never betray the Demon tribe to help humans.”

When Yin Hao saw Zi Heng turned his face in anger, in front of the second son of the Dragon Demon, he knew it was not easy to cause such a scene for nothing. Suddenly, he came over and spoke gently. “Brother Zi Heng, don’t worry. You first listen to the words of the Phantom, there must be a reason for things, listen to what he says.” 𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎

Mei Niang also persuaded. “Brother Zi Heng’s hot temper cannot be changed. How can our Ying’er frame your clan for no reason? Listen to what Ying’er want to say.”

The Phantom couldn’t help but give a salute to Zi Heng Xiao, and said, “Don’t be angry with me, Patriarch Zi Heng. I didn’t mean to frame you. You will know the reason after listening to me.”

“Okay, I’ll listen to how you explain it to me.” Zi Heng sat back heavily on his seat, staring at Phantom with two bear eyes, looking for reason in his explanation.

With a nod of his head, Phantom continued. “At that time, I did see a sixth-level bear demon came out of the forest after killing the escaping wolf demons. At at that time a human spiritist was chasing and killing the wolf demons, and the bear demon was killing them. After killing the wolf demons, the beaev fought with this human spiritualist.”

“Huh, there are high-level spiritualists following, I said, how dare they go deep into the domain of my demon race to hunt. My bear demon tribe must be angry that those wolf pups are not useful, so they took action to teach them a good lesson. I also believe that spiritual master was also killed by my bear demon clan?” Zi Heng said proudly, in his opinion, the cultivation base of the sixth-level bear demon is not low, and it is more than enough to deal with ordinary spiritual masters.

Upon hearing this, Mei Niang and Yin Hao couldn’t help but chuckle and shook their heads at each other. This Zi Heng was really something.

After listening to them, phantom said. “Patriarch Zi Heng, I’m sorry, that six-level bear demon did not successfully kill the spiritualist, but let him escape.”

“Rubbish!” Zi Heng suddenly stomped his feet, and rebuked. “How could he let a little spiritualist escaped him? Let me know which bear cub let him go, I must teach him a lesson. What a waste.”

Phantom couldn’t help taking a careful look at Zi Heng. He was scared from the bottom of his heart for the violent and unstable nature of the bear demon clan.

“I’m afraid you won’t see the bear cub in the future.” Phantom said cautiously.

“And why is that?” Zi Heng asked slowly.

“Because just when the human spiritist was about to be killed by the bear, another spiritist rushed out, killing the bear.”

“What?”

“Another spiritualist, making two of them?”

The demons couldn’t help but glance at each other in surprise.
