As Chen Jie spoke, he took the best-roasted spiced fox off the campfire and handed it to Luo Mengxuan.
"This one's already cooked, Miss Luo, you can have it. If you like it, my brothers and I will catch more tomorrow!" Chen Jie said with a smile.
"How could I possibly accept this?" Luo Mengxuan said, rubbing her hands together.
"Hey, don't be so polite, you're our savior!" Chen Jie insisted.
"Thank you very much."
Luo Mengxuan finally took the spiced fox from Chen Jie's hands and ran briskly toward the carriage where Ye Feng was.
Back in the carriage, Luo Mengxuan tore off half of the roasted spiced fox and stuffed it into Ye Feng's hand.
"Junior brother, eat quickly, this spiced fox tastes very good!" Luo Mengxuan said.
"You haven't even tasted it yet, and you already know it tastes good?" Ye Feng said with a smile.
"It smells so good, it must taste amazing!" Luo Mengxuan said with certainty.
As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Mengxuan brought the food to her lips, took a bite, and chewed it carefully, savoring the taste.
A look of ecstasy involuntarily appeared on Luo Mengxuan's face, and she even stopped breathing.
Is it really that delicious?
Night Breeze chuckled, then took a bite and savored it.
It must be said that the meat of this five-spice fox is indeed very delicious. It has a rich flavor and tender meat that is not dry at all, nor is it greasy. The taste and texture are simply superb.
This was definitely the most unexpectedly delicious food that Ye Feng had tasted since arriving in the Tianluo Great World.
"I've made up my mind. From now on, this Five-Spice Fox dish must be on my menu," Luo Mengxuan said emphatically.
"It's not that bad, it's not that bad."
Night Breeze said half-jokingly, and then took another bite.
Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan ate, drank, chatted, and laughed, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.
But at that moment, Ye Feng's expression suddenly changed slightly.
"A monster is coming," Ye Feng said.
"What?"
Luo Mengxuan was taken aback.
Ye Feng laughed and said, "Don't worry, they're not too powerful demonic beasts, just a group of sixth-grade demonic beasts."
A sixth-grade demonic beast corresponds to a martial artist in the Separation and Union Realm, and most of the guards here are in the Separation and Union Realm, with Chen Jie, the leader, and several of the guards being in the True Essence Realm.
Therefore, sixth-grade demonic beasts are really nothing to them.
"Should we remind you?" Luo Mengxuan asked.
"Then you should give me a heads-up. Better safe than sorry," Ye Feng said.
Luo Mengxuan nodded, stuck her head out of the car window, and shouted to the guards, "A monster is coming! Be careful!"
Upon hearing Luo Mengxuan's shout, Chen Jie immediately stood up, and the guards also took out their magical artifacts from their storage rings.
They had barely made their preparations when a series of bluish-gray monsters burst out of the forest and charged toward them.
These monsters are all phantom wolves, extremely fast, and capable of creating illusions.
That's why the phantom wolves that darted out of the mountains and forests seemed to be numerous, at least a hundred.
However, most of them were illusions; there were only about twenty real phantom wolves.
"It's a phantom wolf! Be careful to distinguish the phantoms!"
Chen Jie shouted, and a jet-black longsword appeared in his hand.
A phantom wolf charged towards Chen Jie, leaping high into the air to bite his neck.
Chen Jie was, after all, a True Essence Realm martial artist, so of course he wouldn't be hurt by this phantom wolf.
Although the phantom wolf shuddered as it pounced into the air and created several phantoms to try and confuse Chen Jie, its innate abilities did not have much effect.
Chen Jie was only confused for a moment before he recognized the real Phantom Wolf.
Chen Jie thrust his black longsword forward, piercing the Phantom Wolf's corpse in an instant.
When Chen Jie sheathed his sword, the phantom wolf fell to the ground and convulsed violently, clearly beyond saving.
Chen Jie was able to distinguish between the Phantom Wolf's real body and its phantoms because the phantoms created by the Phantom Wolf were not lively; their eyes were dull and their movements were stiff, making it obvious that they were phantoms rather than the real body.
However, there were too many phantoms, which still caused Chen Jie and his team a lot of trouble.
At this moment, some guards have already been injured by the Phantom Wolf. Although the injuries are not serious, it is not a good sign.
Fortunately, these phantom wolves were clearly attracted by the aroma of the Five-Spice Fox meat.
Because after these phantom wolves appeared, they frantically attacked Chen Jie and the others, and not a single phantom wolf came to attack the carriage.
Pfft!
The sound of a blade piercing flesh rang out, and the head of a phantom wolf rolled off its neck, rolling several meters like a watermelon before finally coming to a stop.
Chen Jie gripped the black longsword tightly with both hands and slashed repeatedly, killing one phantom wolf after another.
However, on several occasions, due to insufficient observation and being misled by the phantoms, Chen Jie killed several phantoms.
Those phantoms shattered and vanished as soon as Chen Jie attacked them, as if they had never existed.
As time went on, the number of dead Phantom Wolves increased, and the ground was littered with their corpses.
Although several of the guards were injured, none of them had died from the attack by the Phantom Wolf.
Inside the carriage, Tang Yuyan watched the scene unfold outside, her heart pounding in her chest.
On the contrary, the little maid was not very afraid, and even said, "Miss, don't worry, Brother Chen is very powerful, he can definitely protect us. Besides, there are also Young Master Ye and Miss Luo."
"That's true."
Tang Yuyan nodded and said, the tension on her face lessening considerably.
Suddenly, a loud wolf howl echoed through the mountains and forests.
The wolf's howl was filled with malice, sending chills down one's spine.
The next moment, more phantom wolves rushed out of the forest and attacked Chen Jie and his guards.
Chen Jie's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
Although the Phantom Wolf is not very strong, the saying "many ants can kill an elephant" is quite true.
After such a long battle, the guards' internal energy and physical strength were almost exhausted, and if this continued, some of them might die.
No, we have to think of a way!
While fighting the Phantom Wolves and slaying them one by one, Chen Jie racked his brains for a solution.
Inside the carriage, Luo Mengxuan said, "Why are there so many Phantom Wolves? If this continues, the situation will become dangerous."
"Then you make your move," Ye Feng said.
"Me?" Luo Mengxuan said, pointing to her own nose.
"Am I to do it? Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?" Ye Feng laughed.
Luo Mengxuan said with a wry smile, "Alright then, I'll go kill that wolf king. With the wolf king dead, the ordinary phantom wolves certainly won't continue attacking Chen Jie and the others."
