Chapter 393: Chapter 28 Demons and Humans

"Stop!" Xiao Jie shouted, and everyone immediately halted.

"What’s wrong?" I Want to Be Immortal asked, puzzled.

Xiao Jie said gravely, "There’s something wrong with that big tree."

The tree lying across the road reminded him of some stories about ancient robbers he had read in the past.

In ancient times, green forest heroes who intercepted caravans would chop down a tree and lay it across the road. If the caravan guards rashly moved the tree aside, it would trigger a fight.

The correct way to handle this was to cut a notch, announce one’s name, then negotiate an appropriate ’road-buying fee’. After all, both the guards and the robbers were simply trying to make a living, and if the price was right, usually, a little money would ensure peace.

Of course, there were also those who didn’t play by the rules, or if the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, there would be nothing to discuss. They’d have to verify each other’s strength through combat...

At this moment, Xiao Jie was reminded of those worldly stories he had read as a child.

Could there also be mountain bandits in Canglin State?

A little reconnaissance would reveal the truth.

Sound Recognition!

[Sound Recognition (Mystical Skill) Use: Perform a listening check on your surroundings to scan and detect enemies, marking them on your mini-map. Side effect: Temporary blindness. You need to close your eyes to use this skill, so your screen will go black for a second.

Xiao Jie suddenly activated this bat-like mystical skill. The screen before his eyes went dark, and a second later returned to normal, while at the same time, many red dots suddenly appeared on the mini-map in the top right corner.

Indeed, there was an ambush, and not a small one either. Proceeding carelessly would surely lead to an ambush.

Xiao Jie then shouted, "Which friends from this road are doing business here? Come forth and let’s talk."

From within the trees, a humanoid wild boar staggered out.

With a body covered in fat and an open chest, a mane of dark bristles, a bull-horn helmet on its head, and carrying a large axe, followed by several wolf soldiers, each wielding knives and swords, acting as minions.

Xiao Jie looked towards the head of the wild boar.

Zhu Datian (Wild Boar Spirit), Level 19, Life Value 400.

The wild boar spirit laughed loudly, "Haha, brother is indeed sensible—this mountain is mine, this tree is mine. If you want to pass this route—leave that little fox with me!"

Huh? What situation is this?

Listening to the words of the wild boar spirit before him, Xiao Jie was momentarily stunned. How come this demon acts like a bandit?

Unexpectedly, he was quite rule-abiding—not attacking directly upon seeing them but still chanting the formality... though not very strictly.

It felt truly bizarre, not much like a demon but rather like a human doing.

However, considering that Canglin State’s demons were ’gentle in nature, living mixed with humans’, it was somewhat understandable.

While his mind was whirling, he vaguely responded, "What little fox?"

"Hmph, don’t think you can fool old pig’s magic eye, my nose is very sensitive, and I have already smelled the scent of that little fox you’re hiding."

Xiao Jie was about to brush him off with a few words, but suddenly he noticed that red dots on the mini-map were moving to flank them from both sides. His heart chilled instantly—this wild boar spirit was clearly employing a deceptive tactic, drawing attention so that his accomplices could make a move.

Without further ado— "Charge! Brother Qianlong—deploy the formation!"

As he spoke, Xiao Jie instantly switched to the Yanyue Blade.

Hidden Dragon Do Not Use didn’t hesitate, sweeping his long spear.

General’s Order—V Formation!

Yan Formation Marks appeared beneath their feet, instantly boosting the team’s speed by 10%.

"I’ll lead the way!" Hidden Dragon Do Not Use shouted, charging ahead first, and this type of mounted combat was exactly his specialty.

Xiao Jie followed closely behind, his long blade dragging on the ground, sparks flying as he sped forward.

Dragging Blade Slash!

The wild boar spirit brandished his great axe, ready to block.

Hidden Dragon Do Not Use charged on his horse, holding his spear, and suddenly accelerated as he approached.

Purrsch—489 (235% speed damage bonus)!

The spear hit the wild boar spirit right in the chest. Under the spear of a rider, all are equal, and this thrust instantly finished off the wild boar spirit.

In the moment thus paused, Xiao Jie immediately overtook Hidden Dragon Do Not Use, rushing to the front.

Dragging Blade Slash—Swipe!

The Yanyue Blade, which had been charging up, swung violently.

With one slash, the obstructing big tree was instantly split.

The Red Charge Warhorse surged forward, knocking open the split tree, and the others also charged through following behind.

The wolf soldiers, wielding their swords and spears, still wanted to block, but they simply couldn’t hold, and were broken through at first contact.

At that moment, from the dense forests on both sides, the ambushing monsters swarmed out.

"Quick, don’t let them escape!"

"Chase, chase, chase!"

"I knew this trick wouldn’t work, quickly call the big brother!"

Oowwoo!

A wolf howl echoed, followed by continuous howls coming from the surrounding forest. It was unclear how many wolf demons were chasing after them in the woods.

Some had ice blades in their mouths, chasing on all fours, some threw their back legs and ran upright like humans, and there were even some riding horses.

This scene was really outrageous, even somewhat comical, but Xiao Jie had no time to marvel.

Hundreds of monsters, mixed with elite monsters, if they were caught and surrounded, it would be a disaster.

Boom! A few large trees at a turn ahead were suddenly knocked open, and a huge black bear, as large as a small mountain, jumped out, blocking the road.

Bear Breaking Guts (Black Bear Spirit): Level 28 BOSS. Life Value 2200.

"Leave yourselves behind!" the black bear spirit roared, spreading its bear paws, ready to attack.
