Chapter 384 Ambush
"A god who despises divine beasts?" Ye Nanxiao looked at the number of soul beast casualties on the intelligence report and felt a chill in his heart.
Although humans and spirit beasts have a mutually dependent and mutually destructive relationship, the terrifying numbers in the intelligence report represent the unnatural deaths of countless lives in a short period of time, which would chill anyone who saw them.
Ye Nanxiao never considered himself an animalist, but he couldn't ignore the loss of so many lives.
This has nothing to do with animal rights; it's simply about respect for life.
"I know you're angry, but the enemy hasn't entered our ambush zone yet, so we need to be patient. As for those lost lives..." Ye Nanxiao thought for a moment, but ultimately said nothing.
The pursuing enemy has not yet entered the ambush zone; they still need to be patient.
When Ye Nanxiao learned that they were being pursued by gods, he suggested that the soul beasts retreat.
However, there are too many soul beasts in Xingdou, making it impossible to carry out the task.
"Those bastards! They definitely did it on purpose!" Di Tian closed his eyes in pain.
The gods who came to pursue were the main force that fought against the divine beasts during the war in the divine realm. They would not show any mercy to the soul beasts and would kill any soul beast they saw on the spot.
Ye Nanxiao remained silent.
War is something that can never be explained by reason.
The divine beasts killed the gods, their comrades, and their friends and family.
Many who were just yesterday sitting together, raising their glasses in celebration and dreaming of their future teammates or friends, have now met a tragic end at the feet of a mythical beast.
The grief in my heart is beyond words.
Perhaps in each other's eyes, the other is the enemy who killed their companions, and the blood feud between them is irreconcilable and impossible to resolve.
Ye Nanxiao took a deep breath, suppressing the chill in his heart.
He has no stance and doesn't need to have any ulterior motives.
Now that he has agreed to become Gu Yuena's strategist and they share common interests, he must keep his promise.
"How much longer will it take for the enemy to enter the ambush zone?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
"It will take about another 10,000 meters," the Demon King replied immediately.
The plants in the forest are its eyes and ears, capturing every rustle of wind and the slightest movement.
"Wait," Ye Nanxiao said calmly.
Di Tian donned his armor, and a black, ferocious mask covered his face, making it impossible for anyone to see his expression.
However, the terrifying killing intent surging around Di Tian silently conveyed his feelings.
Lake of Life.
Gu Yuena remained seated on the large blue stone by the lake, her bare, crystal-clear feet splashing in the water.
However, her fingers, deeply embedded in the bluestone, revealed her turbulent inner world.
She was born with the cultivation of a peak God-King, and even though she was injured and her strength and realm declined, her perception was still very strong.
She could clearly perceive everything Wen Shu and the others did in the Star Dou Great Forest.
This is why Gu Yuena noticed Wen Shu and the others as soon as they arrived in the Star Dou Great Forest.
"They really did send out some acquaintances," Gu Yuena muttered to herself.
When they were being hunted down, Wen Shu and the others were among the pursuing and besieging forces.
Gu Yuena even remembered the extremely hostile expressions on the faces of the gods Wen Shu and others at that time.
"Don't disappoint me, strategist." A faint silver light shone on Gu Yuena's body.
If Ye Nanxiao and Di Tian cannot stop Wen Shu and the other gods, then for their lives, she must take action, even if it means exposing her true form.
When Wen Shu and the others were less than two kilometers away from entering the ambush zone, the team had dwindled to seven people.
In the forest behind Wen Shu and the others.
Beneath layers of green leaves, iridescent light refracts—the light of the soul rings.
"Tch, whether they're beastmen in the mortal realm or beastmen in the divine realm, they're all the same—utterly disgusting!"
With a gentle wave of his hand, Wen Shu sent the five earth-elemental shield dragons that had been trapped opposite him flying, crashing to the ground.
The Earth Shield Dragon's armor was a bloody mess, and it lay on the ground, only able to howl in agony.
The Earth Shield Dragon's beastly eyes, fixed intently on Wen Shu and the others, flashed with intense hatred.
"Sure enough, just like those dragons' gazes, it's disgusting." Wen Shu looked at the Earth Shield Dragon that he had beaten to a pulp, and suddenly thought of the dragons in the God Realm before.
With a flick of his finger, a sharp blade shot out, piercing deep into the body of an earth-elemental shield dragon.
Wen Shu conjured another sharp blade, clearly not intending to let the Earth Shield Dragon go.
With a condensed blade hovering in his hand, Wen Shu slowly walked towards the Earth Shield Dragon.
The companions made no attempt to stop them; they all loathed the dragon race, especially the Earth Shield Dragon, a soul beast that carried a few traces of dragon blood.
Wen Shu walked up to the Earth Shield Dragon, then suddenly turned to look at a clump of trees, and said in a cold voice, "You've been spying for so long, it's time to show yourself, isn't it?"
Reminded by the sound of reading, the companions all looked into the bushes.
The only response to Wen Shu's question was dozens of incredibly thick vines.
"A mere trick." Wen Shu manipulated the sharp blade, slashing dozens of light streaks in the air in the blink of an eye, shattering the attacking vines.
"Humans, you have trespassed into Star Dou and slaughtered its soul beasts! You deserve to die!"
A low, slightly sinister roar rang out, and the Demon King revealed his true form.
In an instant, huge, thick vines swept in, accompanied by wisps of deep green mist.
"Finally, we've encountered a talking orc! Let me have a go at you!" A tall, bald man flew out of the group, holding a giant sword formed from condensed energy.
The Demon King gave the bald man no room to maneuver. With a flick of his right hand, large swathes of poisonous thorns sprouted from all the vines.
Large swaths of dark green corroded everything on the ground, making a sizzling sound.
Wen Shu waved his hands, conjuring a semi-circular barrier that enveloped his group. He showed no intention of intervening in the bald man's fighting.
In their eyes, the Demon King was nothing more than a slightly higher-level, talking beast.
The bald man confidently wielded his greatsword, slashing at a vine.
"Ding!"
The anticipated scene of the vines breaking did not occur; instead, his energy greatsword was bounced back.
"Huh?" The bald man was somewhat surprised.
Even if this avatar doesn't possess all of my own strength, it's still imbued with my power and aura. How could it possibly be unable to defeat a mere beast from the mortal realm?
The Demon King seized the opportunity and lashed out with his vines. Thousands of vines transformed into a woven vine, instantly forming a storm that lashed at the bald man.
It came here to act as bait, and it kept Ye Nanxiao's instructions firmly in mind: it must not hold back and must use its trump cards immediately, otherwise it would be turned into a spirit ring.
Each vine was formed by hundreds of vines from the Demon King's own body, like steel bars. In addition, the poisonous mist exhaled by the Demon King gave the vines a layer of strength, which allowed them to withstand the bald man's attack.
"Oh no!" the bald man exclaimed, covering his face with his hands and unleashing a burst of energy.
In a few breaths, the whip struck the bald man, and large swirling wisps of poisonous mist enveloped him.
The highly corrosive poisonous mist continuously eroded the bald man's protective energy, leaving marks on his body as it whipped around him.
Their true forms are all mortal humans, not the high and mighty gods in the heavens, and they too bleed.
In the blink of an eye, the bald man was whipped until he was covered in bruises, and the poisonous mist continued to corrode his body.
The Demon King was not idle. Ye Nanxiao had specifically instructed that he should not give the enemy any breathing space. Branches sprouted from his feet and went deep into the ground. He moved under the bald man and broke out of the ground, turning into huge wooden spikes.
Seeing that the bald man was losing ground due to carelessness, Wen Shu and the others were about to help him when they saw the Demon King suddenly turn around and look at them, with eyeballs appearing on his body.
The eyes were twisted and bizarre, like dried-up eyeballs.
An eerie light flickered in its eyes.
"Damn it!" The Demon King used his signature move.
A wave of numbness surged through Wen Shu and the others' bodies, along with throbbing pains within them.
"Damn it!" Wen Shu was furious. He was a god from heaven! How could he be forced into such a sorry state by the beastmen of the mortal realm?
"Corruption Poison!" The Demon King seized the opportunity and launched a fierce attack on the bald man.
All the vines immediately sprayed out large amounts of venom, and a strong corrosive sound came from the bald man.
"Die!" the bald man roared, unleashing all the energy within him.
An explosion comparable to a fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell scattered all the vines and splinters of the Demon King.
The Demon King thought to himself, "My chance has come." He pretended to be hit by the bald man's attack, let out a scream, and fled into the bushes. As he fled, he did not forget to spray the purple blood he had extracted beforehand.
"Chase!" The bald man transformed into a streak of white light and dashed into the bushes.
Wen Shu and the others were also furious at being tricked by the Demon King, and they transformed into streaks of light to catch up with the bald man.
The Demon King desperately fled towards the ambush zone, not daring to slow down at all.
Within the ambush area, a sapling seed in the demon's hand suddenly trembled.
"They're here!"
Ye Nanxiao immediately ordered everyone to enter combat readiness.
Di Tian, clad in black armor, stood silently in the canopy of a giant tree, coldly observing the enormous commotion in the distant forest.
"You damned humans! Try this!" The Demon King spat out a ball of purple venom.
"Foolish! Did you think I would fall for this a second time?" The bald man swung his greatsword, slicing the venom ball in two.
The venom ball landed on the ground, instantly corroding a large pit and draining the surrounding land of its life.
When the bald man appeared in the ambush area, the Demon King immediately turned around and unleashed another large swath of vines.
The bald man walked towards them, ignoring the vines that were falling on him.
The injured one was his avatar; he only wanted to kill the soul beast in front of him that had made him lose face.
Wen Shu and the others fell into the ambush.
"Go!" Ye Nanxiao gave the order.
The demon immediately activated Ye Nanxiao's detonation device.
Intense light shone brightly in the Starry Sky Forest, like a miniature sun falling into the forest.
The violent impact leveled the trees within a radius of a thousand miles.
In the intense white light, five enormous, dark golden blades swept out, followed closely by three pillars of flame that seemed to come from hell.
