Chapter 442 - 215: The Hunt Begins! (Part 6)
After the order was given, the White Mountain Monarch couldn’t hide the joy in his heart and murmured, "It’s good that they all ran into the city, saves me the trouble of looking everywhere."
"Take them all in one go, the harvest will be greater."
Below, many little demons received the order, all howling as they rode demon winds towards Chungui City!
At the same time, the Snow Wolf King heading to Hejian City encountered the same situation.
The Snow Wolf King also believed that the common people in the villages and towns must have run into Hejian City.
But when they arrived at Chungui and Hejian cities, they unexpectedly found both huge cities completely silent!
Divine Sense enveloped, the entire city didn’t have a single living creature!
Such an eerie scene instantly baffled the group of White Mountain Monarch.
"Mountain Monarch, could these two-legged sheep all be hiding?"
A little demon flattered and spoke up.
When they were in the Southern Border, they would occasionally run to some Human Race villages to loot and hunt for blood food.
Over time, the Human Race villages and cities near the Great Witch Mountain came up with some countermeasures.
That was, upon discovering a powerful demon beast attacking, the ordinary common people would scatter and flee, hiding in the mountains, forests, and lakes.
In such situations, except for some unlucky ones getting found, most could escape with their lives.
The White Mountain Monarch, having cultivated step by step from a weak demon beast, naturally knew the cunning of the Human Race.
His eyes narrowed slightly, a flash of anger passed through them.
He had thought this time he could take down the millions of blood food in Chungui City in one go, but unexpectedly, the common people of Yangnao Land had also learned this disgusting demon’s way.
"Split up and search!"
"Each squad must have a demon general in the Fetal Breathing Realm leading!"
"Dig three feet into the ground to find those two-legged sheep for me!"
After a slight pause, he turned and looked at a black, fat woman in the late stage of Fetal Breathing Realm next to him and said, "Dark Spider, you take charge here."
"This Monarch will take people to check the eastern city."
The black fat spider spirit hurriedly cupped her hands, "Mountain Monarch, rest assured, this little demon will definitely find those two-legged sheep!"
Without saying a word, the White Mountain Monarch directly pointed to nearly a thousand little demons and flew towards Xingyang City east of Chungui City.
From afar, after seeing the White Mountain Monarch and others leave, hundreds of figures in the dense woods on a small hill outside the city slowly removed their invisibility talismans.
"Elder Mu, we still can’t deal with the remaining demon cultivators."
"There are too many great demons in the Fetal Breathing Realm, at least ten."
At the front of the crowd, a valiant young girl dressed in brown armor, holding a long knife, spoke softly.
This girl was Shen You.
Now Shen You’s cultivation had reached the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, and the long knife magical artifact she held was a trophy Shen Wen’an had seized from a cultivator in the late stage of Fetal Breathing from the Suihuo Sect.
Mu Chang, dressed in a wide gray robe, quietly observed the many demon cultivators flipping around looking everywhere in Chungui City, and after pondering for a moment, said, "Miss, send a message to the Patriarch."
"With the Patriarch’s intervention, as long as those few great demons in the Fetal Breathing Realm are shot down, we should be able to handle the remaining little demons."
Shen You nodded, immediately taking a communication stone from her bosom.
Passing the message out.
On the other side, after Shen Chongming returned from Zhili Imperial City, he did not go directly back to Yunshui City.
About the harvesting, he had already arranged everything before he went to Zhili Imperial City.
Furthermore, in Yunshui City, there were his grandfather Shen Yuan and third uncle Shen Wen’an on guard; he had long planned that this time he was going to play the role of a hunter, cooperating with those Shen Family cultivators who had been lurking outside each city, to have a good hunt of the demon cultivators from the Great Witch Mountain.
Although his current cultivation was only at the middle stage of Fetal Breathing, he practiced the true technique most suitable for himself, and he was also a Thunder Cultivator.
Coupled with the previously comprehended secret skill "Purple Thunder Break Extreme," having planned this in advance, as long as he didn’t face a great demon in the Fetal Breathing Perfection Realm, he had great confidence in defeating the other party.
The communication stone in his arms vibrated.
High in the crown of an ancient tree, Shen Chongming immediately took out the communication stone.
"Brother, the opportunity in Chungui City looks good."
Shen Li’s voice came from the communication stone.
Upon hearing these words, a gleam flashed in Shen Chongming’s eyes, he immediately stuck an invisibility talisman on himself and flew towards the direction of Chungui City using Wind Manipulation.
About an hour later, he arrived at the small woods where Shen You and Mu Chang were hiding.
"Patriarch."
Mu Chang cupped his hands in greeting.
Shen Li also approached and said in a low voice, "Brother, the great demon leading this team has left, it looks like they went to Xingyang City."
"Over a thousand demon cultivators left are looking for people in Chungui City."
"Among those fully transformed ones, most are likely in the Fetal Breathing Realm, but I’m not sure about their specific strength."
"Do you want to make a move?"
Although she was a daughter, Shen You’s behavior and speech were very clean and efficient, with a certain flair of a general.
Shen Chongming’s gaze turned towards the distant Chungui City.
But he saw more than ten figures suspended in the sky above Chungui City, each shouting orders to the little demons in the Qi Cultivation Realm below, searching around.
Shen Chongming said in a deep voice, "Among these eleven great demons in the Fetal Breathing Realm, there is no presence of a Fetal Breathing Perfection Realm."
"You all stay hidden, do not expose your breath."
"After I shoot down those eleven great demons in the Fetal Breathing Realm, you can make your move."
"Remember, quick battle, quick resolution, and take the bodies of those demon beasts with you after it’s over."
After Shen You and Mu Chang solemnly nodded, they had everyone stick another invisibility talisman on themselves again.
Back then, for the cooperation with Celestial Talisman Sect, the Shen Family planted a large number of Spirit Shuttle Grass, used to make talismans and spirit paper.
Later, after Celestial Talisman Sect withdrew from Yangnao Land, the Spirit Shuttle Grass harvested by the Shen Family could only be made into spirit paper for their cultivators to practice talisman making.
They naturally couldn’t draw high-grade talismans, but low-grade talismans like the invisibility talisman and the divine movement talisman had piled up like mountains over the years.
Many cultivators in Yunshui City had even demonstrated considerable talent in talisman making during the process of drawing these talismans.
Because of this, Shen Chongming was considering going to Danzhou once the pressure from the Southern Border eased a bit, to use his resources to exchange for some talisman-making inheritance for the family cultivators.
After applying the invisibility talisman, hundreds of people in the woods instantly disappeared.
If there were no cultivators nearby specifically using divine sense to check carefully, it was almost impossible to easily discover them.
Leaving the woods, Shen Chongming found a post station in the south of the city where merchants and travelers took rest.
Hiding in the post station and carefully observing, he found that among the many demon cultivators in the Fetal Breathing Realm above Chungui City, the aura of the black fat woman was the strongest.
Judging by the aura, that black fat woman was at least in the late stage of Fetal Breathing, but definitely hadn’t reached the Perfection Realm.
Because if she were in the Fetal Breathing Perfection Realm, her divine spirit would have already started metamorphosing. Given their distance, she would have already noticed him if she were in the Perfection Realm.
Having confirmed his target, a flash of light appeared in his hand as he directly took out the Silent Guest magical artifact.
The lower grade magical artifact, Silent Guest, had been nurtured in his thunder pool for several years, and had now changed dramatically.
The bow embryo originally forged from white bones was now covered with mysterious sapphire runes, and its aura was significantly stronger.
Holding the Silent Guest longbow in his hand, Shen Chongming hesitated slightly before taking out an even more powerful dark red arrow!
This arrow was given to him by Lingshan Sword Immortal during his time at Cyan Ruo Sword House.
Its quality reached the level of a middle-grade magical artifact.
To be on the safe side, Shen Chongming planned to use this arrow with the Silent Guest longbow, leveraging the secret skill "Purple Thunder Break Extreme," to unleash his strongest attack, aiming to kill that black fat woman in one blow.
Holding his breath and focusing his mind, he bent the bow and nocked the arrow.
The secret skill "Purple Thunder Break Extreme" activated, causing a massive surge of thunder attribute spiritual power within his body, making his meridians feel like they were being pricked by needles.
Countless terrifying thunder attribute spiritual power surged into the arrow, forming a tiny blue sapphire-like light point at the arrow’s tip, with no other visions appearing on the entire arrow.
Shen Chongming drew his longbow into a full moon shape, slowly aiming at the black fat woman several miles away.
The black fat woman, being a spider demon in the late stage of Fetal Breathing, was extremely perceptive.
Although no suspicious areas were found within the range of her divine sense, the faint sense of crisis in her heart made her ready to raise her demon element shield at any time!
