Chapter 422: Enemy Attack!

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Big Goody was especially unhappy.

Since she was unhappy, she didn’t want him to be happy.

While the city lord of Blue Crystal City was out fighting, Big Goody quietly brought her brothers to his tent. They were about to cause trouble when they accidentally smelled the stench of a corpse.

They followed the smell and dug up the ground. They actually dug out a corpse. From the looks of it, it was the missing Yang Tiao.

The corpse stank.

Huanhuan covered her mouth and nose and frowned. “Bai Di, what do you think?”

“I think this has something to do with the city lord of Blue Crystal City.”

Huanhuan thought for a moment. “Could the traitor in our camp be the city lord of Blue Crystal City?”

“That’s very likely.”

“Go and call Xuan Wei over. It’s better to leave the matter of the traitor to him.”

Bai Di agreed. “Stay here with the children. I’m going to find Xuan Wei. I’ll be back soon.”

“Mhm.”

Bai Di turned and walked out of the tent. Big Goody circled the corpse obediently, her wolf tail wagging. “I knew that the city lord of Blue Crystal City wasn’t a good person!”

Huanhuan covered her mouth and nose with one hand and walked around the tent.

She noticed some used bandages stacked in the corner.

As there was no gauze in Blue Crystal City, they used strips of animal hide as bandages. They were not breathable, but they were soft enough and st.u.r.dy.

Huanhuan knelt down. She put on her gloves and picked up the hide bandages.

The bandages were stained with blood, and there was a faint stench.

She found the stench familiar. She had smelled it somewhere before.

Just as Huanhuan was thinking about it, a hurried wolf howl suddenly came from outside!

It was an enemy attack!

Huanhuan immediately threw away the bandages in her hand and rushed out of the tent. She saw countless demons crossing the Black River and surging into the camp like a tide.

The beast soldiers in charge of patrolling were instantly drowned in the enemy army and disappeared.

Why would the demon army attack at this time?!

Shuang Yun and Xue Ling were not around. Most of the beast soldiers had been brought away. There were very few troops left in the camp. They were almost helpless against the swarming demon army!

Huanhuan’s expression changed drastically as she quickly climbed onto Big Goody’s back. “Go! Go look for Bai Di!”

Big Goody carried Huanhuan and ran quickly. Dos, Tres, and Little Monster followed closely behind.

The silver-white fur of the four wolf cubs was especially conspicuous in the night. They quickly attracted the attention of the demon race’s army. Han Ying narrowed his eyes and watched them leave. “Catch them. Don’t let them escape.”

An army of demons immediately chased after Huanhuan and the others.

Huanhuan turned around and saw the fully armed demons. She immediately took out her bow and shot a dozen arrows.

Every arrow hit a target, but the demons did not seem to notice the pain. After pulling out the arrows without a change in expression, they continued to pursue with bleeding wounds.

There were only a limited number of arrows, so Huanhuan had to put away her bow. She touched the string of green crystal beads. “Big Goody, run to the river.”

Big Goody immediately changed direction and ran toward the river.

They moved like the wind through the night while being pursued.

When they were almost at the Black River, Huanhuan called out to Choir.

The mushroom spores landed in the soft mud of the riverbed and instantly grew into a large patch of Moonlight Mushrooms. They cl.u.s.tered together and emitted a pale blue light.

“The night is so beautiful tonight. The Divine Wood is running with the wind. Oh~”

The happy singing surprised the four wolf cubs, but their mother did not ask them to stop. Hence, the four of them did not stop and quickly rushed into the group of mushrooms.

Huanhuan said, “Stop.”

The wolf pups stopped this time.

The pursuing demon army also rushed into the group of mushrooms, but before they could touch Huanhuan, they were entangled by the mycelium that extended from all directions.

“I can smell the scent of the demons on them. They’re demons from the abyss~”

The demons tore off the mycelium, but soon, more mycelium stretched out and wrapped them tightly like huge coc.o.o.ns.

The ‘coc.o.o.ns’ kept tightening around them.

The Moonlight Mushrooms continued to sing happily, “Can you still see if I eat your eyes? Can you still hug if I eat your hands? Can you still live if I eat your hearts?”

A moment later, the Moonlight Mushrooms pulled back their mycelium, revealing skeletons that had their flesh devoured.

Seeing this, the wolf cubs couldn’t help but look shocked.

These seemingly harmless little mushrooms were actually so ferocious!

After absorbing enough nutrients, the Moonlight Mushrooms quickly grew taller and bigger. In the blink of an eye, they were taller than Huanhuan and the wolf cubs.

The wolf cubs were dumbfounded. They had never seen such big mushrooms!

With the Moonlight Mushrooms, this place was very safe. Huanhuan decided to hide here with the wolf cubs.

Right now, her biggest worry was Bai Di.

Hopefully, he would discover the Moonlight Mushrooms here and find them as soon as possible.

Huanhuan said to the Moonlight Mushroom beside her, “Can I climb onto you?”

“Of course, my dear Divine Wood~”

The Moonlight Mushroom bent down and let Huanhuan climb onto its mushroom cap.

The cap was smooth and soft. It took Huanhuan a lot of effort to sit down. She craned her neck and looked into the distance. She saw that the demon army had already occupied the entire camp and was hunting beast soldiers.

She widened her eyes for a long time, but she still couldn’t find Bai Di.

However, to her surprise, she saw Sang Ye in the demon army!

The huge black python was very conspicuous among the many demons. He and Han Ying were very close. Han Ying seemed to be saying something to him, but he didn’t say anything. He just kept silent.

At this moment, Sang Ye seemed to sense Huanhuan’s gaze. He raised his head and looked straight at Huanhuan through the night.

Their eyes met.

A moment later, the python slithered through the many demons and arrived 10 meters away from the Moonlight Mushrooms.

Huanhuan was very excited. “Why are you here?”

The python looked at her in silence. His deep gaze seemed to want to carve her into his bones.

Huanhuan looked at his blood-red eyes and the dark red demonic patterns on his body. She couldn’t help but ask, “Have you returned to the demon race?”

The python remained silent.

Huanhuan was a little angry. “Say something!”

After another long silence, the python said, “Sorry.”

“Why are you apologizing?”

“I went back.”

It took her a moment to realize that by ‘back,’ he meant that he had returned to the demons. She couldn’t help but ask, “Why?”

“They all treat me like a monster. Only the demons can tolerate me.”

Huanhuan couldn’t speak.

“I want to be strong. I want to live. That’s why I have to go back.”

Huanhuan had the urge to cry. “What will happen to me if you leave?”

“I’ll be back. Wait for me.”
