Chapter 365: Chapter 181: Willful is Willful_2

Jiang Qingqiu was filled with fear and anger, but a beam of Redirection Light had already fallen on him. Not only that, a strong tide of coldness burst out from the side of Long Dangdang, covering every member of Jiang Qingqiu’s team.

There was an explosion-like rumble in the air, and a figure was driven by the Spirit Wings and slammed into the enemy camp. The Earth-shaking Small Hammer landed decisively. The target was not any member of the Jiang Qingqiu team, because any of them could not stand this kind of attack.

A violent roar appeared on the ground, and the powerful shockwave lifted almost all the members of the Jiang Qingqiu team, with their bloodlines shaking and accompanied by dizziness and loss of control.

The lightning-like figure cut in instantly, and there was a cold sharp blade on the neck of the opponent’s summoner. The small creature he held tightly in his arms had a different master.

"Two, boss, there are two." Ming Xi’s voice came over. And at this moment, the immense pressure from Long Dangdang was all on Jiang Qingqiu.

Although Jiang Qingqiu’s injuries had improved under the cleric’s cure, he was seriously injured after all. Under the Redirection of the Holy Diversion Spirit Furnace, he could not save his teammates at all. The surface of Long Dangdang’s Inaugural Silver Waves Magic was already flickering with the light of the Sacred Sword.

"Team Leader Long, you, you even attacked your fellow soldiers. Do you know that this is a taboo in the demon hunting team?" Jiang Qingqiu felt cold at this time. Although everyone was of the 5th Rank, he didn’t know why, but when facing Long Dangdang, he even felt oppressed as if facing a superior.

Long Dangdang indifferently said, "This is not an attack, it’s corrective action. You can protect your teammates from nonsense, why can’t I abide by my teammate’s wishes and uphold justice? Besides, this is for your safety."

The figure flickered, and Ming Xi had already returned. In her arms, two demon gale ape cubs that were less than half a foot long were opening their massive eyes, looking curiously around, seemingly not flustered at all.

The adult demon gale ape soled its children and opened its eyes wide, but its struggle also stopped. As Level 8 magical beasts, it had a very high level of wisdom, especially for primates like themselves. It slightly understood the conversation between Long Dangdang and Jiang Qingqiu’s team.

The mage and the summoner of Team Jiang Qingqiu wanted to speak out, but, seeing the woman with the hammer not far in front of them, their open mouths dried up and closed.

This was Wang Changxin! The Heaven Tyranny Sledgehammer Wang Changxin. They graduated from the Spirit Furnace Academy in the same class as Wang Changxin and had experienced her reign over her grade. At this moment, the pair of Spirit Wings behind her was so radiant, the terrifying oppressive force, the icy gaze. No one would doubt that they would be greeted by her sledgehammer attack if they were just talking nonsense.

Long Dangdang paid no more attention to Jiang Qingqiu. He turned and went to the Demon Suppression Tree and looked at the adult demon gale ape, saying, "Hello, can you understand what I’m saying?"

The Level 8 demon gale ape didn’t have the ability to use mental communication, but it lightly nodded to Long Dangdang.

"I apologize for my fellows capturing your children. Now I will return them to you. They also hurt you just now, can you let them go? If you can, I’ll release you, take your children, and leave far away."

The demon gale ape looked at Long Dangdang, its gaze deep, but it slowly nodded again.

On the other side, the mage and summoner of Jiang Qingqiu’s team were about to stop him, but they immediately felt a bursting Spiritual Power from the Heaven Tyranny Sledgehammer and had to hold back in anger.

Ming Xi walked over, handed the two small demon gale apes to the adult ape, and Tao Linlin released the restraint on them. It was out of spiritual power, but it won’t cause any trouble.

The demon gale ape hugged its two children to its chest, and its originally fiery eyes became softer. When it looked up at Long Dangdang, its expression seemed to change a bit. It nodded to him, making "chirping" sounds, and then glared fiercely at Jiang Qingqiu and his team, turned around and leaped away. Although its spiritual power was weak, it didn’t affect its strength and agility. In a blink of an eye, it disappeared into the forest.

Watching the demon gale ape leave, Ming Xi couldn’t help but smile broadly. She turned to Long Dangdang. "Team Leader, you’re a.." she gestured a thumbs-up while speaking.

Long Dangdang responded, "I won’t back you up every time. It all depends on the situation. It’s nice to have a sense of justice, but don’t overdo it.

"Mmhmm, got it. Team Leader, don’t be like Peach! He’s always nagging me." Ming Xi cheerfully replied.

Having just emerged from the Demon Suppression Tree, Tao Linlin retorted unhappily, "You aren’t on your own anymore. You genuinely can’t be capricious anymore. Do you understand that each of your whims can affect us all?"

"Alright, Sister Peach, stop nagging." Ming Xi rolled her eyes.

Long Dangdang released her Holy Diversion Spirit Furnace Redirection on Jiang Qingqiu, saying, "Let’s go." Afterward, she led the way into the woods.

The members of Jiang Qingqiu’s team cast disapproving looks, but they were weaker. What else could they do?

Long Kongkong followed behind Long Dangdang. As the group continued traveling through the woods following the recent events, he could sense a subtle shift in the team’s atmosphere. This change was primarily noticeable in Wang Changxin, Ming Xi, Tao Linlin, and Yue Li.

He couldn’t quite put his finger on it, but it seemed like a positive development.

A faint smile was lingering on Ling Menglu’s lips. The recent appearance of Little Eight, the golden dragon, and Long Dangdang’s decisive actions had undoubtedly boosted the team’s cohesion. Long Dangdang, as the team leader, was genuinely being accepted and recognized by everyone.

They returned to their earlier planned route and continued on, looking for suitable magical beasts to tame. By the end of the day, they had added two Level 6 magical beasts to their tally. Taming anything of Level 5 or below was pointless, and even though they encountered beings above Level 6, they didn’t act impulsively unless it was a creature with a dragon-genus bloodline.

The forest was teeming with magical beasts, undoubtedly including strong ones. Earlier, they had even encountered a Level 9 luminous griffin! Therefore, Long Dangdang’s philosophy was to be as cautious and careful as possible.

After finding a source of water, Long Dangdang and her partners discussed it and decided to settle down temporarily without rushing deeper into the forest.

One month was a long time, and the area’s aura wasn’t contracting fast. Even though they had brought enough food and water, they also needed a water source for their daily needs. Especially given the predominance of females in the team, the water demand was higher. Bathing aside, everyone needed to cleanse their bodies daily at a minimum.

With their current location as the center, they mainly explored the surroundings. If any suitable magical beast appeared, they would take action; if not, they wouldn’t force it.

After observing for the following days, they noticed that the aura of the region would appear once every morning. The coverage seemed to be shrinking. After five days, they could vaguely see the edge of the aura, but it was still some distance away from where they were.

In five days, they tamed eight dragon-genus bloodline magical beasts in total, consisting of two Level 5 beasts and six Level 6 beasts. Tao Linlin had started looking down on Level 5 beasts. They weren’t just stationed at their current location; they were also exchanging ideas, honing their skills, and practicing together every day, gradually developing teamwork.
