Chapter 6: Bite (1/2)
”Capture them alive!” The middle-aged cultivator sounded in an exasperated tone.
This mission was originally quite successful. The number of children with spiritual root aptitude was higher by 20% compared to previous years.
It was only then that they sent out a convoy to attack a tribe of Scaled Demons that they discovered by accident and captured many high-quality goods.
As long as they brought the goods back, and if there were a few high-grade spiritual roots among these children, their income would be much higher than normal.
However, just as they were about to return to the base, the convoy was attacked by the Scaled Demons.
The Scaled Demon's song was their racial innate talent and was too special. Even they were caught off guard.
If it were not for the fact that a few of the cultivators with higher cultivation bases woke up in time and woke up their companions, the casualties would have been even more severe.
Now that the losses had been incurred, they could only capture more Scaled Demons to make up for the losses.
Therefore, the Scaled Demons ran in front while the Immortal Cultivators chased after them. They disappeared into the fog with lightning speed.
As for the black-clothed martial artists, they stayed in the camp to guard against the second sneak attack and began to treat the wounded.
”Ouch! It hurts! Do these things have poisonous teeth? Did I get infected?” At this moment, Jiang Li was sitting on the ground, sucking in cold air.
It was because there was the head of a Scaled Demon hanging over his left shoulder.
...
At that time, he took advantage of the night and the thick fog to run to Yan Hong's tent. Two Scaled Demons were tearing apart the canvas and reaching out to drag him inside.
This fatty, Yan Hong, often liked to wake up at night, so his tent was closer to the edge, which was why he was unlucky to be attacked first.
Jiang Li could not be bothered to complain about his good friend's urinary system. His eyes were sharp and his hands were quick. He threw the long sword in his hand like a hidden weapon.
Originally, the distance was only seven or eight steps, so the basic accuracy could still be grasped. The sharp longsword, pushed by the huge kinetic energy, directly pierced through one of the Scaled Demons, bringing its body two meters forward.
When the other monster saw this, it also let out a roar and put down Yan Hong before pouncing towards Jiang Li.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Li smiled calmly and drew a sword from his waist before stabbing it towards the oncoming monster.
As someone who had played games his whole life, how could he not keep enough equipment on standby?
Jiang Li had snatched back seven longswords back then, and after returning one to Yan Hong, there were six left.
He had one in his hand and one on his waist. If not for the fact that he was afraid that it would affect his agility, he would have tied the remaining four to his back.
At this moment, the function of the backup weapon was revealed. The longsword was slightly lower, piercing through the abdomen and out the back. Although it did not damage the heart, it was still a fatal injury.
However, before Jiang Li could rejoice, the Scaled Demon lowered its head to look at its stomach, and then a sluggish feeling of flesh, blood, and bones rubbing against the blade could be felt. The Scaled Demon actually forcefully pressed itself against the sword.
Jiang Li instinctively wanted to kick it away, but he did not have the time to react.
Its mouth, which looked no different from a human's, suddenly split open to its ears. Two rows of teeth, sharper than a razor, came at Jiang Li's neck with smelly mucus dripping out.
