Chapter 586: Scheming
Flesh and shattered bones, severed limbs, stained this valley red.
A strong smell of blood seeped from the ground, causing Zi Liyuan, hiding not far below, to furrow his brows.
Compared to human civil wars, the internal battles of the Demon Wolf tribe were exceedingly bloody.
At least in human slaughter, the goal was to kill the opponent, usually with one fatal blow, and then promptly search for the next target after killing.
But these Demon Wolves were different; they enjoyed tearing their enemies apart after killing them.
Their sharp claws easily shred flesh, resulting in a battlefield of large-scale dismemberment, utterly gruesome and terrifying.
“Tsk tsk, with such a battle, there probably aren’t many survivors. No wonder so many bones and vengeful spirits are buried below.”
Mo Yi remarked that such good opportunities could come more frequently.
“You should be careful. In the cities at the entry points, there’s a Seventh Grade Sanctum stationed. If they become aware, do you think the Demon Wolf tribe will temporarily unite and retaliate?”
Rolling his eyes, Zi Liyuan replied irritably.
On the battlefield, a Sixth Tier Legendary commander led the army in combat, but the cities in the rear were guarded by a Seventh Grade Sanctum.
Zi Liyuan’s Soul Detection and Xiao Guang’s life detector both sensed the presence of the Seventh Grade Sanctum.
What they were doing was continuously depleting the reserves of the Demon Wolf tribe.
The Demon Wolves, tainted by Demonic Qi, engaged in brutal slaughter, with the ultimate victor becoming the elite of the elite.
These survivors were then integrated into existing elite forces as reserve personnel.
The reason Zi Liyuan and his team lay in ambush here was to completely wipe out these upcoming elite forces and lure out the Seventh Grade Sanctums from both sides to eliminate them.
The Seventh Grade Sanctum was the foundation of some Alien Races in the Sea of Realms, and only by eliminating these could they freely seize the opponent’s territory.
From the beginning, Zi Liyuan never planned to secretly erode the borderlands of the Demon Wolf continent bit by bit; instead, he aimed to consume it in one bite and kickstart a rampant plundering mode.
The battle overhead lasted from morning till night. When it ceased, the two million-strong Demon Wolf army had dwindled to just over a hundred thousand.
After surviving this brutal battle, the last hundred thousand survivors collapsed onto the battlefield soaked in blood, panting and absorbing the Demonic Qi emanating from slain enemies or comrades, gradually strengthening themselves.
One side falls, the other wins.
Those who fall become losers.
The victors, strengthened by Demonic Qi, become reserve elite members.
This selection process, cruel yet effective, had been the way since the Demon Wolf tribe entered the Sea of Realms.
It was in this moment of relaxation for the victors that a thick tide of blood surged from underground, enveloping the entire battlefield.
Countless Demon Souls silently appeared around the remaining Demon Wolves, furiously swinging sharp claws at them.
The commander of the defeated side had decisively retreated as his army was wiped out, but before he could leave the valley battlefield, a purple spear unexpectedly appeared before him.
With a “splash” of tearing flesh, immense power and terrifying energy instantly destroyed the life within him, dispersing the Demonic Qi all over his body.
Holding the spear, Liu Yiqing coldly placed the opponent’s corpse into a specially prepared Space Sphere.
Demonic Qi could corrupt both living beings and objects; she did not want the Demon Wolf’s corpse in her Space Column, causing unnecessary trouble.
On the other side of the battlefield, Zi Liyuan did not hold back either, as five Bone Spears erupted from underground, easily piercing through the Sixth Tier Legendary’s various protective shields and consuming his life-saving items.
Then, the remaining two Bone Spears pinned him to the ground like a skewer on a roast lamb.
The remaining hundred thousand Demon Wolf troops were surrounded by a million Fifth Tier Demon Souls, slaughtered into pieces within mere minutes.
The daytime battle between Demon Wolf army took a whole day, while it took less than ten minutes to deal with the remaining troops.
This showed the enormous gap between the two sides.
“So easy, but such good opportunities only come once.”
Watching the Demon Souls pile all the Demon Wolf corpses together, forming a mountain of bones and flesh.
The three returned to the underground cave.
“Now we wait for the bait.”
After battling, neither side returned, including the Sixth Tier Legendary commander Demon Wolf, who had vanished without a trace.
The opponent would surely dispatch personnel to investigate.
The trio’s task was to eliminate all dispatched investigators until the opponent sensed trouble and sent the Seventh Grade Sanctum to personally investigate.
Overnight, three waves of scouts were processed, starting with dozens of people, growing to hundreds, gradually increasing in power.
Among the last batch of slain Demon Wolves, ten Fifth Tier Epic Demon Wolves had already appeared.
Three consecutive waves of scouts were resolved silently, naturally alerting the Demon Wolves in nearby cities.
A Sixth Tier Legendary Demon Wolf, accompanied by ten Fifth Tier Epic Demon Wolves, stealthily dispersed towards the valley battlefield.
