In just a moment, the wolf king was completely bound and unable to move!

Sun Muqing immediately breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of joy at surviving a disaster.

She glanced gratefully at Ye Feng, then raised her hand and thrust her sword into the wolf king's chest.

The wolf king immediately let out a shrill howl, and bright red blood gushed out from the wound on its chest.

Sun Muqing pulled the blood-stained Broken Wind Sword from the Wolf King's body and flung it to the ground. The blood on the sword was immediately shaken off, and the Broken Wind Sword became shiny and clear once again.

The vines withered, and the wolf king was finally freed from its restraints.

However, severely injured, it was no longer able to fight and could only lie on the ground, barely alive.

The other phantom wolves have also been mostly killed.

Seeing the wolf king fall to the ground and not get up, the phantom wolves turned and ran away, disappearing into the forest.

This sudden battle has finally come to an end.

"Thank you both for your kind assistance!" Bai Muxue walked over and clasped her hands in thanks.

Sun Muqing smiled and said, "It's just a small contribution, Miss Bai, you don't need to go to such lengths."

Jiang Lingxuan put away the flying needles surrounding her, squatted down, and poked the huge wolf king with her finger, saying in confusion, "Why did the Phantom Wolf suddenly attack us? This is really strange, because wild beasts like wolves should be active at night, right?"

“I also find it very suspicious,” Bai Muxue said, frowning.

Sun Muqing thought for a moment and said, "Although it's a wolf, it's not an ordinary wild beast, but a demonic beast. It's normal that its habits are different from ordinary wolves, right?"

Bai Muxue shook her head and said, "No, the Phantom Wolves are supposed to be active at night and rest during the day. This group of Phantom Wolves is not only active during the day, but also launching a large-scale attack on us. This is very strange."

"Then I don't know." Sun Muqing shook her head.

Just then, Chen Haoyang strode over.

After giving Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan a grateful look, Chen Haoyang said to Bai Muxue, "Miss, a few brothers were injured, but no one died, which is a blessing in disguise."

"Then go to the third carriage and get some healing pills to send to the injured. Also, tell Xiaoxue that everyone who is injured will have their monthly pay doubled this month!" Bai Muxue said without hesitation.

"Thank you, Miss."

Chen Haoyang nodded in satisfaction.

Just then, Ye Feng got off the carriage and strode towards them.

Although Ye Feng did not participate in the battle just now, Chen Haoyang dared not underestimate him in the slightest.

After all, Ye Feng had already demonstrated his strength, and Chen Haoyang knew that Ye Feng's strength far surpassed that of Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan, so he naturally dared not disrespect Ye Feng.

But to everyone's surprise, as the night breeze drew near, it exclaimed, "I smell a fragrance..."

Chen Haoyang was completely confused.

Bai Muxue, Sun Muqing, and Jiang Lingxuan all showed confused expressions.

"This fragrance seems to be coming from you," Ye Feng said, looking at Bai Muxue.

Bai Muxue's cheeks were slightly flushed.

"Mr. Ye, please have some self-respect," Bai Muxue said, coughing lightly to cover her embarrassment.

Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan were both somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.

The two of them glared at Ye Feng in unison, as if warning him with their eyes.

But Ye Feng continued to look at Bai Muxue, and even sized her up.

Chen Haoyang couldn't hold back any longer and said in a stronger tone, "Mr. Ye, you and your companions have indeed helped us a lot along the way, but that's no excuse for you to take liberties with my young lady! If you try to use your superior strength to do something indecent, then I'll fight to the death to stop you..."

Night Breeze interrupted Chen Haoyang directly: "I suspect it was the peculiar fragrance emanating from your young lady that attracted the Phantom Wolf here."

"What?" Chen Haoyang's expression changed drastically.

Bai Muxue's expression also turned extremely ugly.

Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan both breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, the two of them thought that Ye Feng had taken a liking to Bai Muxue, so they felt a strong sense of crisis.

Now they finally understood that Ye Feng had no intention of doing so; he simply suspected that the strange fragrance had attracted the phantom wolf.

At that moment, the night breeze finally pinpointed the source of the fragrance—the sachet hanging from Bai Muxue's waist!

“Miss Bai, that fragrance seems to be coming from the sachet at your waist. Please take it off so I can examine it,” Ye Feng said, pointing to the snow-white sachet at Bai Muxue’s waist.

"OK."

Bai Muxue immediately took the sachet from her waist and handed it to Ye Feng.

Night Breeze opened the sachet and poured out a small pile of spices.

However, among the spices were a few peculiar red seeds.

Moreover, these seeds have now sprouted, and that strange fragrance is emanating from these seeds.

"Just as I thought!"

A cold smile curled at the corner of Ye Feng's lips.

"Night Breeze, what did you find?" Sun Muqing asked immediately.

"Yes, yes, hurry up and tell us!" Jiang Lingxuan urged impatiently.

The night wind casually tossed aside the other spices, leaving only those few strange flower seeds.

“Look at these seeds, these are the flower seeds of the Corpse Fragrance Blood Lotus.”

"The Corpse Fragrance Blood Lotus is a very peculiar spiritual herb. This spiritual herb needs to absorb the blood of human warriors or demonic beasts to grow and bloom. Therefore, the Corpse Fragrance Blood Lotus naturally emits this peculiar fragrance to attract demonic beasts or human warriors."

"But the scent of the Corpse Fragrance Blood Lotus is poisonous; inhaling too much of it will cause fainting. The Corpse Fragrance Blood Lotus will then pierce the bodies of demonic beasts or human warriors, drawing their blood to grow and even bloom."

"These seeds have only just sprouted, so the fragrance they emit is very faint, almost undetectable to human warriors. However, as a demon beast, the Illusion Wolf has a much more acute sense of smell than human warriors. Therefore, the Illusion Wolf was able to smell the fragrance emitted by the Corpse Fragrance Blood Lotus seeds, and thus tracked us down to attack us."

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan suddenly realized what was going on.

They had just found the Phantom Wolf's sudden attack very strange, and now they finally understood that the Phantom Wolf was attracted by the fragrance emanating from the sachet on Bai Muxue's body.

Bai Muxue's expression was now extremely bad.

Suddenly, Sun Muqing asked, "Night Wind, why didn't you notice the scent of the Corpse Fragrance Blood Lotus before?"

"Because these seeds didn't sprout before, they probably only sprouted in the latter half of last night or this morning," Night Wind explained.
