Chapter 139 Tempting Demons
Poyang aquatic products have been famous throughout the world since ancient times, and this whole fish banquet is a top-class feast specially prepared for high-ranking officials and nobles.
Especially now that it's autumn, the Poyang hairy crabs are fragrant, crisp, tender, and incredibly large.
Ye Kang and Meng Bo were both martial artists with an astonishing appetite. After a swift and thorough meal, they finished the entire fish feast on the table, leaving not a single drop.
Meng Bo let out a burp and smiled at Ye Kang, "How was it, Brother Ye? Did you taste the deliciousness of Poyang's aquatic products?"
Ye Kang waved his hand and said, "I can't eat anymore, I really can't eat anymore. The Poyang Whole Fish Feast lives up to its reputation."
"Hahaha! It's a great joy to meet Brother Ye today and to get along so well with him. However, after we've had our fill of food and drink, I must remind Brother Ye that since we get along so well, I can't bear to see him die in vain."
"Oh?"
Ye Kang's lips curled into a subtle smile.
Meng Bo leaned closer and whispered, "To be honest, those snow-backed wolves aren't easy to deal with. The masked people in the Poyang region have formed teams to hunt them down several times, but they can't find the beast at all."
Ye Kang also showed interest: "So you can dodge like that?"
“Absolutely right! That beast is extremely intelligent. It runs away as soon as it sees a crowd, but if it gets alone, it will suddenly appear. Several masked men have met their end by being completely destroyed in this way!”
"If that's the case, why don't the Azure Scale Guards wipe them out?"
“Brother Ye, you may not know this, but this beast is not as powerful as you think. Xi Yuan, the commander of Poyang Marsh, is stationed in the deep water area and cannot spare the time. The other two seventh-rank Qinglin Guards are not necessarily capable of defeating that beast alone. Lord Han even went to Jinling to help before, which is why it took advantage of the situation and became so rampant.”
Ye Kang nodded. No wonder.
Han Ying was dispatched to attack the Crimson Demon Lord, and the Snow-Backed Wolf took the opportunity to cause trouble. By the time Han Ying returned, it would be impossible to find it again.
When a demon's spiritual abilities reach this level, it is no longer an ordinary demon.
Ye Kang's eyes gleamed; only such a powerful demon could excite him.
After all, the stronger the weapon, the more rewards it will drop after refining!
At this moment, the guards that Meng Bo had sent out to retrieve intelligence returned.
Meng Bo handed the dossier to Ye Kang and once again tried to dissuade him, saying, "Brother Ye, do you really have to go?"
There was a hint of confusion in his eyes. In his understanding, no matter how strong the masked man was, he was only an elderly fifth or sixth-rank official.
Because if someone reaches this level of strength at a young age, they should have become a full-fledged Azure Scale Guard long ago.
Those who are old and have exhausted their talents can only become masked figures.
The person in front of me is so young, his martial arts cultivation can't possibly be very high. He actually went to challenge the wolf demon all by himself. Isn't he courting death?
Ye Kang simply shook his head and smiled, "Go and take a look, but we might not even be able to find it. Thank you for the treat today, Young Master Meng. I'll invite you back another time."
After saying that, he disembarked, mounted his horse, and left.
Meng Bo and two guards stood on the ship, their eyes filled with complex emotions.
"Where did this guy get his courage from?"
The guard beside him whispered, "Young master, this man's cultivation level is not obvious; we cannot trust him easily."
Meng Bo didn't speak, but fell into deep thought.
soon.
Ye Kang finished reading the case file while on horseback.
The area where the snow-backed wolves caused trouble is called Koutang Village, which is right next to the Daze Lake and connected to it by a river. It is bordered by water to the west and mountains to the east.
The wolf demon lived in the mountains to the east of the village, but now the village is gone.
When Ye Kang arrived at Koutang Village, only half of the road sign at the village entrance remained, and the fence and wooden stakes were covered with traces of trampling and clawing.
As soon as you enter, a strong fishy smell hits your nose, mixed with a foul stench, making you feel uncomfortable.
Ye Kang activated all five senses and searched the village, only to find that there was no one alive left.
Many village houses were smashed to pieces, and occasionally shredded cloth and dried flesh could be seen.
The wolf demon trampled the villagers, and eight or nine out of ten ended up in its belly.
Those who survived had long been arrested and taken away by the constables and yamen runners.
Ye Kang's expression remained unchanged. There were still many traces of the investigation ahead, extending all the way to the east of the village, onto the path where it met the mountains.
Ye Kang thought about it and decided not to go into the mountains.
As I said before, the mountains are too big; searching there is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Therefore, he didn't intend to actively search for it in the first place. He secretly entered the Moyu Ancient Treasure and, after searching around, found a jade box.
With a whoosh, the jade box appeared in my hand, and I could vaguely see a pale yellow paste-like substance inside through the white jade.
Shaped like amber, yet also like a sponge, Ye Kang stared at it for a long time before finally squeezing out two words through gritted teeth.
"Soap?"
He shook his head with a self-deprecating smile. Oh well, whatever this thing is, let's test its power today.
I bought this from a man with a mustache at the Grand Canal Market, and we even got into a fight over it.
According to the man, this item can attract demons. The first time he used it, it attracted a wolf demon!
Ye Kang had always wanted to test whether this thing would work, and coincidentally, this time the target was also a wolf.
What are we waiting for? Let's just do it!
Ye Kang opened the jade box and silently placed it on an open ground.
Instantly, an incredibly rich fragrance wafted out, carried by the gentle breeze blowing from the marshland, and instantly drifted into the mountains.
Ye Kang flew to a distant rooftop, sat cross-legged, and began cultivating his inner energy while silently observing the open space.
"I don't know what it is, but it smells incredibly strong. I hope it's useful..."
He closed his eyes, maintained his five senses, and began to circulate his inner energy in the microcosmic orbit.
Meanwhile, a fragrance wafted through the mountains.
Many birds and mammals froze, some birds even falling from the sky with their eyes wide open.
Where the birds landed, there were several jackals, but they did not hunt the birds. Instead, they stared at the direction from which the aroma was coming, their mouths watering.
On a higher mountain peak, a den of tigers also poked their heads out of their cave; even these mighty mountain kings were filled with longing.
The beasts were all attracted, but they were not yet intelligent and were only acting on their instincts.
Their instincts drive them to crave that fragrant stuff, but their instincts go beyond just appetite; they also experience fear.
Fear of the human world, fear of the martial arts aura emanating from over there.
These two instincts tormented them, leaving them frozen in place, bewildered and helpless.
And there is something else, in their instincts, where there is no fear.
On the highest mountain peak, under the full moon, a towering figure, ten zhang tall, slowly appeared, its four feet on the ground, its silhouette revealed in the moonlight. Countless birds and beasts were terrified by this figure.
The camera zooms in, revealing a figure raising its front paw to gently lick its fur. Its back is covered in snow-white fur that shimmers with a faint silver light, clearly indicating that it is a giant wolf ten feet tall!
It smelled the fragrance in the air, its muscles swelled, saliva dripped from its mouth, and its eyes gleamed red.
It couldn't understand what that tasted like that made it crave it so much! It couldn't wait to integrate that thing into its body!
But whatever it is doesn't matter, it just wants to eat it right away!
Wild animals feel fear, but it doesn't!
