The Eastern Wilderness is quite ordinary, with nothing much besides some resources.
It lacks the bustling cities of the Central Plains, the endless yellow sands of the Western Regions, the frozen expanse of the North, and the towering waves of the South China Sea.
It's just a piece of land, some ordinary trees, and some not-so-extraordinary mountains.
In short, the Eastern Wilderness is a rather unremarkable land, and no great figures have emerged from it for a long time, until recently when an extraordinary individual appeared.
Wu Er also came to the Eastern Wilderness, but this time he came alone.
Since my junior brothers and sisters had only recently broken through to the next level, I wanted them to consolidate their foundations further, so I didn't invite them to come along.
Besides, Wu Er wasn't comfortable with them coming to the Eastern Wilderness.
The situation in the Eastern Wilderness is already very tense. I don't know what the major sects have to say, but that's how it seems from what I've seen so far.
The demon race has been very active lately, wandering around human settlements in various places.
Moreover, they were all organized and disciplined, forming groups but not scattered.
This is quite intriguing.
Actually, Wu Er didn't want to come here either, but there haven't been any good missions lately, and the reward for coming to the Eastern Wilderness is quite good.
The mission I received this time was alright; it was a reconnaissance mission.
The purpose was to check where the demons had set up their positions and to search for traces of their movements.
This is an easy job. Although it's called scouting the demon race, Wu Er isn't obligated to risk his life. He just needs to get a general idea.
Moreover, the demon race is very bad at counter-surveillance. As long as you don't get close enough to them to investigate, they generally won't be alerted.
Arriving at a small hill, Wu Er concealed himself and looked down.
Below it was a demon clan's stronghold. Based on his years of experience, he discovered that the demon clan this time was very different from those he had encountered before.
Let's start with this battleground. In the past, the battlegrounds of the demon race were always chaotic and there were no tents. They were just simple piles of logs.
But the demons in front of us are different. They not only have tents, but their fences are also well-built. Although they are still a bit inferior to humans in terms of details, they are already quite good.
"If you don't look closely, you really can't tell they're a group of demons..."
Wu Er muttered to himself, this was a bit unusual, as if these demons had suddenly become smarter.
But so what if it's abnormal?
As a scout, Wu Er only needed to record the location of the camp.
"It's time to go back."
After briefly observing the surrounding scenery and making a rough note of the location, Wu Er decided to head back.
But just as they were about to leave, they discovered something was wrong.
There's a faint demonic aura around here, which means a demon is approaching!
This is even stranger. Wu Er's distance control was pretty good. This place is outside the detection range of the demon race. Logically speaking, no demon should be coming near.
Could it be that these guys not only know how to build camps, but also how to conduct counter-surveillance?
That would be rather frightening. The demon race, which was not very intelligent to begin with and was extremely arrogant, suddenly became smart. That would be quite terrifying.
This place is not safe to stay for long.
That was what Wu Er thought, so he immediately set off to leave.
But when he turned around, he realized something was wrong, because several little demons suddenly appeared behind him.
"Tsk... What bad luck."
Looking at the little demon behind him, Wu Er said this.
When the little demons saw Wu Er, they didn't rush over immediately with howls; instead, they cautiously stood aside.
This surprised Wu Er even more.
"Send a message! Quickly send a message to the general! We've spotted humans!"
At this moment, another little demon spoke to its companion.
Then another little demon next to them took out a talisman, which looked like a message talisman or something similar.
It seems these demons have not only become more cautious, but they've also learned to find people!
The change was so drastic that Wu Er was taken aback.
Surprised as they were, they couldn't delay. After all, these little demons had already used communication talismans. If he were to spread the word and find people, it would be troublesome.
Because the attack was so sudden, he didn't draw his sword but instead punched with his fist.
He stood up and threw a punch, then turned and kicked.
With the physical attributes of a Nascent Soul cultivator, coupled with his specially honed skills, he defeated the group of lesser demons in just a few breaths.
Moreover, Wu Er wasn't reassured, so he snatched the message talisman from the fallen little demon's hand and then crushed it with his hand, rendering the talisman useless.
"It really startled me; I almost got caught off guard."
After destroying the message talisman, Wu Er breathed a sigh of relief, and then it was time to deal with the little demons.
The main purpose was to grab the talisman, so I didn't use too much force when I punched, which is why these little demons didn't die.
Even if he didn't die, he wouldn't be in much better shape.
The power of this Nascent Soul cultivator was no joke; it seriously injured them, leaving them all lying on the ground unable to get up, and constantly vomiting bile.
Wu Er originally wanted to finish them off, but after observing the group of little demons, he gave up the idea.
The fact that these little demons didn't possess any malevolent aura meant they hadn't consumed human blood...
"It's really strange that there are still demons who haven't drunk human blood."
Wu Er sighed again.
He had been struck by so many things today that he was even beginning to doubt whether what he was seeing today was actually a demon race.
Well, since these demons haven't eaten humans, Wu Er felt too embarrassed to kill them.
After all, putting aside the question of what kind of demons these are, the fact that they have never eaten humans is already quite remarkable, so they cannot be killed.
Although he had decided to let them go, Wu Er said before leaving, "Listen carefully, I'll spare your lives because you haven't eaten people before. But if you ever dare to eat people again, I will kill you!"
After saying this, Wu Er turned his back to the group of little demons, seemingly about to leave.
Having gathered enough information, it was indeed time to leave, to avoid getting into any more trouble.
Before they could even move, they heard the little demon who had fallen to the ground start cursing.
"Hypocritical humans, disgusting! You accuse us of cannibalism, but you're the ones who eat us!"
This prompted Wu Er to glance at them, but that was all.
However, one of the little demons roared, "Just wait! Under the leadership of the Kunwu Emperor, we will reclaim our dignity!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Er stopped in his tracks.
It was because I heard the name "Kunwu" again that I stopped in my tracks.
This was the second time Wu Er had heard this name.
Perhaps it was because the pronunciation of the name was similar to "Kunwu" that he always paid more attention to it.
I heard Xiao Yao mention it again, so I became interested once more.
Wu Er didn't rush to leave. Instead, he came to the little demon's side, squatted down, and asked, "Tell me about this new demon saint in the Eastern Wilderness, what do you say?"
Facing Wu Er, these little demons were not afraid at all, and said defiantly, "Hmph, what about my Emperor? You'll be shocked if I told you!"
Then Wu Er continued, "Why don't you just tell me and scare me?"
