Three hundred years ago, at the border of Zhongzhou.
The dim sunlight filled the sky, dyeing the clouds red, and a fishy smell permeated the air.
This smells like blood; there's blood flowing here.
Standing on the edge of a cliff at Wu'er Station, looking down, one can see a village that is now in ruins, and the reddish-brown earth.
Seeing this scene, Wu Er frowned, as it stirred up some unpleasant memories for him.
He was rescued a long time ago, and that incident happened a long time ago, but he can never forget it. Whether he is meditating or sleeping, that bad memory always comes back uninvited.
"Senior brother, shall we make a move?" Xiao Mingmu asked Wu Er.
Wu Er turned his gaze from the distance to Xiao Mingmu and said, "Have you scouted it out? Are those demons still in that village?"
Xiao Mingmu nodded. "Xiao Wu, Xiao Ping, Yan Zheng, and Ning Yan have already reached the edge of the village. Those demons haven't noticed us and are still standing there. Shall we make our move?"
"Let's get started." Wu Er looked down at the ruins below the cliff again. "You all need to break through recently, and resources are too tight. Hunting these few will help us exchange for resources."
Since being rescued last time, Wu Er has been taking on missions issued by major sects in order to obtain cultivation resources.
Strangely enough, the demon race has been unusually active these days, frequently invading our territory.
Demons who have reached the level of Nascent Soul and Dao also occasionally appear. Among the human settlements in these five regions, only the Central Plains is relatively safe, while the humans in the other four regions live in dire straits.
There are also rumors circulating that ladyboys are preparing for another big battle.
Humans and demons have been fighting each other since ancient times, and have been waging war against each other for a long time.
According to some surviving unofficial historical records, two massive wars were fought in ancient times, each fought by immortals and demons, and the battles were so devastating that the heavens and the earth collapsed.
Legend has it that the Southern Region was originally land, but due to the Second Great War between Humans and Demons, the immortals and demon saints fought and turned the land into a sea.
Of course, these are not issues that Wu Er cares about.
After years of cultivation, several junior brothers and sisters are about to break through again. Now the most important thing is to defeat these demons and then exchange them for resources.
"Tell Xiao Wu and the others to be careful when they make their move. I'll fight head-on, and you guys can provide support as needed."
After saying this, Wu Er jumped off the cliff and headed towards the ruins of the village below.
Like thunder in the east, moving like lightning.
After so many years of cultivation, Wu Er has already entered the Transformation Realm for many years, and it can be said that he has one foot in the Dao Integration Realm.
The other junior brothers and sisters are also about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, so Wu Er urgently needs resources.
The demons that invaded our territory this time are powerful demons at the Nascent Soul stage. If we can capture them all, we'll have enough resources for our junior brothers and sisters.
As for the things Wu Er needs to break through... he's not in a hurry. He'll just give them to his junior brothers and sisters first. The lifespan of a Nascent Soul cultivator is very long, and he can earn the resources later.
"It's really strange. After plundering the village, why didn't these demons leave? Why are they still lingering here?"
Wu Er had some doubts, but didn't think too much about it.
Who cares what their reasons are for not leaving? It's all the same anyway—kill them to get resources.
Wu Er felt no pity for these demons; any demon that invaded his territory was no good demon.
They came to plunder human villages and devour mortals.
It's unclear what the demon race is thinking. They know that eating mortals doesn't help them at all, but they always eat a few whenever they come to human territory. And this behavior is even more serious for demons of lower bloodlines.
Wu Er had no liking for this kind of demon race, who killed people without cause.
After gliding through the air for a while, Wu Er arrived above the village and saw the demons dwelling there.
He took a deep breath and then shouted, "Demons below, do you know your crimes!"
Why shout out the attack?
This isn't Wu Er being a bit childish or anything; he's covering for the others.
The shout drew the attention of the other demons, and any further small actions by the others went unnoticed.
If anyone still asks, why resort to underhanded tactics? Wouldn't it be better to confront him head-on?
This is war, not a duel. Why bother with such a high-stakes, just fight it out in secret?
Poisoning, setting traps and mazes are all normal practices.
In war... the goal is to minimize losses.
"You audacious demon, how dare you invade my borders! Do you know your crime?"
Wu Er shouted again, wanting to show all his anger and arrogance so that people would focus their attention on him.
Soon, the demons reacted and were alarmed.
"There are humans calling for war! There are humans calling for war!" The little demons stationed here shouted twice, then fluttered around, looking very frightened.
That's how it is with demons; the demon race values bloodline, and demons with lower bloodlines have lower intelligence.
They cannot assess the strength of the enemy, nor can they assess the strength of their own side.
They panic at the slightest provocation. If the enemy seems weaker than them, they will rush in recklessly. If the enemy is very imposing, they will cry and beg for their leader.
It can be said that ordinary little demons are just a bunch of wild beasts, and they are not even as smart as wild beasts.
However, this makes sense, because such low-level demons never have the chance to cultivate into powerful demons.
Throughout the entire demon race, some demons with high cultivation levels generally possess noble bloodlines.
We've strayed a bit from the topic; let's get back to the main point.
"Where did this human cultivator come from, daring to challenge us!"
A gust of eerie wind swept in, followed by a stench of blood filling the nostrils.
