A few miles away, just as Ace suspected, the battle with the Ice Dire Wolves was being monitored by White Fire with the legacy formation of the blade demon tribe, the Myriad Threads Qi Detection Formation!
To control this formation, White Fire had to stay static, and that was why he wasn’t following the team himself and using the earthen troll to monitor them from close while he was observing them with Myriad Threads Qi Detection Formation.
However, this formation didn’t provide a view and could only sense the Qi of life forms, but it was far more convenient to detect hidden enemies.
Feng facing the ten grade-4 wolves was naturally noticed by White Fire, and he thought Feng was reckless and courting death by charging there alone.
He was about to stop the formation and go there to rescue Feng when the Qi thread representing the Wolf King suddenly vanished.
“What happened?!” He exclaimed and started to use the formation to make sure he wasn’t seeing things.
However, thereupon, the nine other threads of grade-4 wolves also vanished!
With a bewildered expression, he mumbled, “Could it be that brat managed to kill all ten grade-4 wolves? Didn’t this mean his strength is equivalent to a Platinum River Core expert? But this doesn’t make any sense!”

On the battlefield,
Ace looked at the ten large wolf corpses. ‘The dark life Plexus is really powerful. I can sense and target the acupuncture points with my sword fingers and destroy them with lightning.contemporary romance
‘However, this skill scope is so broad that I can only sense 13 acupuncture point out of 361 acupuncture point and can only create two sword skills with it. As long as I can target 361 acupuncture points altogether, this sword art would be a terrifying one.
‘But it seemed I need to the mind as sword realm and experiment on the livings to increase the sword art further.’ Thinking about the latter, his expression couldn’t help but change slightly.
Although, he somehow managed to create this sword art by being able to sense thirteen acupuncture points with his heavenly sense. But the reaming acupuncture points weren’t something he could just imagine in their positions.
He had to experiment on the living test subjects to further increased his knowledge of acupuncture points, or he had to gain another book that further describes these acupuncture points more profoundly than the Life Plexus Book in his possession.
Because the knowledge in life plexus book was limited and most of it was based on theories by SLK, so he had to start his own research if he wanted to further go on this path of acupuncture points.
Notwithstanding, who knows, the world was so big he might get another profound book like life plexus.
“Brother Feng!” Peter’s vibrant voice sounded.
Ace snapped out of his stupor and looked around. He saw Peter dashing toward him while blood was dripping from his sword.
However, Peter was dumbfounded when he saw ten huge corpses beside Feng and looked at him as if he was looking at a monster.
Although those wolves were dead, he could still feel their dreadful aura.
“S-So fast!” He couldn’t help but utter.
Feng smiled and coolly said, “Nothing much. Thanks for coming, by the way. Let’s help the others and leave this place.”
Peter absently nodded and followed Feng.
After the wolf king was dead, those little wolves weren’t able to last for long in the face of everyone’s attacks.
The others were also startled when they saw the grade-4 wolves, and couldn’t help but felt slightly apprehended by the bronze skin demon.
Thomas click his tongue and said, “Brother Feng, how did you kill this wolf king? There isn’t any sword slash, but internal bleeding. It’s like this wolf died by an extreme Qi deviation.”
‘This guy’s mouth is really something.’ Ace couldn’t help but complain. No one noticed this but Thomas, and now everyone looked at him in astonishment.
However, he wasn’t too worried about it and meaningfully replied, “It’s a secret sword art. Do you want to spar with me, so you could experience it yourself?”
Thomas shamelessly retorted, “What? You want to murder your friend?”
Everyone gave side eyes to Thomas.
“You’re not worth the trouble.” Feng smirked, “I’ll be taking the carcass of the wolf king, you guys can have others.”
No one raised any objections. Even if Feng wanted all the grade-4 wolves, they wouldn’t mind it, since he was the one who killed them.
The carcass of a grade-4 beast was full of treasures, especially their meat, which was very beneficial to the river realm and river core cultivators. The market price for such meat was sky-high!
After they collect the carcasses, they left the area before more wolves were drawn by the blood smell.
They spend the night on a remote hill and continue their journey of finding the ruin.
According to the map given by White Fire, they were still over a month’s travel away from the damaged ruin. But as they continue to move forward, the temperature of the place continued to drop.
They all started to feel the cold despite their peak river realm cultivation, with only the exception of Ace, though.
But with different treasures, they could endure the cold quite easily.
Until this day,
“Beneath us, watch out!” This warning came as a surprise because it was from Feng, not Shepard.
Nonetheless, they all jumped back from their positions with full strength.
The very next thereafter, five ice blades appeared from where they all jumped.
However, it wasn’t over as those ice blades vanished in the snow.
“I can’t sense anything!” Shepard’s exclaimed as he glanced at Feng with a look of admiration.
If he hadn’t warned them, some of them would’ve suffered grave injuries.
“Attack there!” Feng said as he slashed with his swords on the snow ground.
Everyone attacked without any hesitation.
‘sskkss’
Strange cries rang the moment those attacks fell on that spot and before long they all notice the ground started to fill with blue liquid, and it spread in the snow.
“Blood!” Carlee’s eyes were filled with horror.
Alora used her dark fire to melt that area, and the appearance of their attacker was revealed.
It was a two-meter-long white worm, but it had two hands and a head while small tentacles on the rare, it didn’t have any eyes, but a huge round mouth filled with sharp teeth and a pair of blue small horns with black patterns.
Thomas said with a graved expression when he saw this creature, “This isn’t a demonic beast, but a mindless demon!”
Ace’s eyes flashed, “You mean a demon without intelligence, a barbaric demon tribe?”
Thomas nodded, “Yes. You see those small patterns on its horns, only demons with early stages of development have them and that’s why we called them barbaric demons.
“Although we called them the barbaric demon tribes, and they had very little intelligence, they didn’t attack each other. Furthermore, they’re very territorial, and once they sense someone infiltrating their territory, they’ll swarm at the intruder without caring about any consequences.”
Alora nodded in agreement and added, “Our territories are filled with these kinds of barbaric demon tribes and if we didn’t control their numbers, they could cause huge trouble with their numbers and suicidal attacks.”
Gibson’s expression was ugly as he asked, “Didn’t this mean we have to cross these barbaric demons’ territory if we wanted to continue our journey?”
Peter shook his head. “Not necessary. We might encounter it by chance, and we still didn’t know where their territory is. If we take another route, we might lose our way or enter their territory.”
Carlee said, “Prince is right, we should stick to our route since the map didn’t have details about the other routes. It’s also quite possible that we have to cross this barbaric tribe’s territory to enter the ruins. It might be a test.”
Shepard looked at the map and his expression was helpless, “She’s might be right, we’re very close to our destination and that ruin is underground as well.
“This demon was moving in the snow, and I wasn’t able to sense its presence, which means there might be tunnels beneath us and in the end, we have to clash with this tribe.”
They all look at Feng since he was the leader, and the last decision fell to him.
“Stick to the route. Just as Shepard said, we have to find the underground passage that leads to the ruin as well. This demon might have appeared from that same underground passage.
“If we wander around, we might overlook the passage. The presence of this tribe might be a good thing since we can follow them and find the underground passage.
“There isn’t any need to be afraid of them since Senior White Fire would leave no danger to our lives alive in that ruin, right?”
They all completely agreed with Feng’s words and continue to move forward!
