"Let's withdraw the troops."
Wu Er looked at the layer of mist.
Xiao Mingmu, who was standing nearby, naturally obeyed and immediately joined forces with the others to dispel the maze.
The fog was thinning, and some dark figures could be seen.
Although the preparations were thorough and the demons inside were unlikely to be able to resist, Wu Er still cautiously said, "Don't let your guard down, be careful."
As soon as he finished speaking, the fog completely dissipated, revealing the scene inside.
It has to be said that this is not a pleasant sight; in fact, it is nauseating.
Blood was spilled everywhere again; the ground has been stained red far too much lately...
The ground was covered with corpses, some of which were incomplete and had been broken into pieces.
If it were a whole corpse, it wouldn't be so bad, but a pile of severed limbs and the smell of blood would certainly make one want to vomit.
But this didn't affect Wu Er and his group; they weren't afraid of it.
They've seen many such scenes before, all for the sake of making a living.
While ordinary people may have a hard time making a living, they don't see so much bloodshed.
But after practicing cultivation, life becomes a constant struggle for survival, and it's truly a world of bloodshed.
"Keep an eye on them. If any survive, remember to finish them off," Xiao Mingmu said.
Upon hearing this, Wu Er glanced at Xiao Mingmu and thought to himself: Mingmu is still the most reliable...
The group slowly cleared the battlefield, collecting any usable resources and magical artifacts they found, and replenishing any remaining monsters they found.
It has to be said that these demons are really poor; they spent half a day collecting things but didn't get anything good.
Fortunately, Wu Er didn't expect to get anything good from them anyway; he just wanted to take the demon cores of some of the slightly more powerful monsters.
Of course, the main target was not these lesser demons, but the leopard demon at the Nascent Soul stage.
With the demon's head and core in hand, you can then submit the commissions to the major sects.
After passing a pile of corpses, Wu Er finally spotted the leopard demon.
It can only be said that the Nascent Soul demon is indeed worthy of being called a Nascent Soul demon. He has been in such a killing formation for so long and is still alive!
However, even if they were alive, their condition was extremely poor.
The leopard demon was covered in blood, had lost an eye, and had countless wounds of all sizes, which were still bleeding.
Because he was poisoned, he had no strength and could not stand up; he could only kneel on the ground.
"mean!"
When the leopard demon saw Wu Er, it shouted with its remaining strength, looking rather unwilling.
Seeing the leopard demon's behavior, Wu Er asked, "Do you think it's despicable?"
This question enraged the leopard demon so much that it trembled, and it managed to shout with all its might, "Despicable!"
The others who followed also saw the leopard demon.
Xiao Ming stared at the leopard demon without saying a word, perhaps because there was nothing worth saying.
Zhang Wu's breathing became heavier, it seemed that a living Nascent Soul demon had frightened him, but fortunately, after such a long period of training, he was no longer the same as before.
Chen Ping didn't look at the leopard demon, but instead turned his gaze to the silver-ringed broadsword on the ground, muttering, "It's a good thing, but it's broken. I wonder how much it can sell for."
Yan Zheng didn't care about any of this; he was still quietly collecting his spoils because he wanted to save up money to buy a cloud boat.
Wo Ningyan, on the other hand, acted the most normally, and said, "Senior Brother, hurry up and kill him, preferably dismember him, otherwise I find it disgusting."
Although the winner takes all and the loser is condemned, this leopard demon remained defiant and showed no sign of begging for mercy.
He also said, "You little humans, if it weren't for this trap, I would be more...despicable than killing you!"
Apart from Wu Er, no one present paid attention to what the leopard demon said, so only Wu Er replied.
Then Wu Er said, "It is indeed despicable, but this is not a duel, this is a fight."
That's the idea. It's not a duel; you just need to win.
As for the means used... that's not important.
"Despicable...despicable!"
The leopard demon still seemed unconvinced and kept growling from the side.
But what's the use of being resentful? He can't do anything now, he can only stand there in helpless rage.
Wu Er looked at the enraged leopard demon and shook his head slightly, asking, "Any last words?"
"mean!"
"knew."
Wu Er picked up the Wujian Sword and slashed at the leopard demon.
With a swift stroke, a huge leopard head shot into the sky.
The leopard demon was beheaded by Wu Er.
The headless body couldn't even maintain a half-kneeling position, and it swayed and fell to the ground. Then, with a flash of demonic light, it transformed into the torso of a headless leopard.
"Alright, let's tidy up here, and then go check out that village."
Wu Er sheathed his sword and then walked toward the village.
Although most of the monsters have been killed here, there are probably still a small number left, so I still need to go and take a look at the ruins.
The demons like to keep mortals as food, and Wu Er wanted to go and see if there were any mortals still alive, and also to rescue them as a matter of course.
After cleaning up the main battlefield, the group arrived at the village.
Wu Er said to his fellow disciples, "Separate and search carefully to see if there are any living mortals or any stray demons."
Upon hearing this, the others responded and dispersed.
Although this place is a village, it covers a considerable area, almost comparable to some small towns.
If you're looking for something carefully, it will take some time.
Wu Er naturally began searching as well. Although he could spread his divine sense to find people, this place had been occupied by the demon race for too long, and most places were tainted with demonic energy. It would be fine to find cultivators, but to find ordinary people with weak auras, it would be somewhat affected.
So, in order not to miss any survivors, Wu Er decided to use his eyes to search.
"It's a complete mess."
Looking at the ruins before him, Wu Er sighed and then began searching.
The rubble everywhere, along with the collapsed houses nearby, added considerable trouble to the search and rescue efforts.
After searching through many houses and moving many stone walls, Wu Er found several ordinary people in a cellar.
Although these people were still alive, they were in a very strange state, looking dazed and confused. When they saw Wu Er, they were neither afraid nor happy, they just stared at him blankly.
Wu Er carefully observed these mortals, then frowned, a question arising in his mind.
He discovered that these mortals had lost one of their souls; of the three souls and seven spirits, only two remained.
"It's really strange. I don't think any of those demons use human souls to cultivate. How come all these mortals have lost their souls?"
Just as Wu Er was wondering, Xiao Mingmu suddenly sent a telepathic message.
Then Xiao Mingmu said somewhat anxiously, "Senior Brother, come quickly! We've found something strange here!"
Strange thing?
Upon hearing this, Wu Er immediately tensed up and rushed out of the cellar.
