The results came out shortly afterward.
There were a total of thirty-eight corpses of the Wind Shadow Blue Wolf, including one wolf king.
None of the twenty guards died, but almost all of them were injured.
Lin Baishan was very satisfied with this result.
Not a single guard died, and they even killed so many Wind Shadow Wolves. It can be said that they won a great victory!
But Lin Baishan always felt that this victory came too strangely.
"How is the situation, Captain Lin?"
Li Mingzhu lifted the curtain of the carriage and peeked out to ask.
Lin Baishan smiled, clasped his hands and said, "Miss, none of us died in battle. On the contrary, we killed thirty-eight Wind Shadow Wolves."
"It's a pity that the Wind Shadow Azure Wolf, a type of demonic beast, doesn't have anything of value on it. It's such a shame."
Li Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "The fact that we survived and no one died is already the greatest blessing. There's nothing to regret."
"Miss is right, I was too greedy," Lin Baishan said with a smile.
After confirming that it was safe, Li Chang'an, Li Mingzhu, and their maid Xiao Lü got off the carriage together and expressed their condolences to the guards.
Seeing this, Ye Feng nodded slightly.
With the danger over, Li Chang'an, as the president of the Hengfeng Chamber of Commerce, took the initiative to get off the carriage and show concern for the guards, which naturally increased their goodwill towards him.
It's only natural that these guards are loyal to the Hengfeng Chamber of Commerce.
Although Li Chang'an was only doing superficial work, his willingness to do so already surpassed that of most businessmen, who wouldn't even bother with such superficial work.
"Night Breeze, how are you? Are you hurt?" Li Mingzhu asked with a smile.
"I'm fine. Those Wind Shadow Wolves don't seem to have noticed me, so none of them attacked me," Ye Feng said with a smile.
"That's incredibly lucky."
Li Chang'an walked over and glanced at Ye Feng with disdain.
“Grandpa, how could you say that?” Li Mingzhu said in a low voice.
Li Chang'an said coldly, "Mingzhu, our caravan saved his life and provided him with food and drink, but when the Wind Shadow Wolf attacked just now, he hid in the carriage and didn't contribute a single bit from beginning to end!"
"If it weren't for your sake, I would have kicked this ingrate out of the world long ago!"
Hearing Li Chang'an say that, Li Mingzhu had a bitter smile on her face.
“Grandpa, Ye Feng’s injuries haven’t healed, and he doesn’t look like a martial artist. How can he help? Even if he wanted to, he couldn’t. So calling him an ingrate is really unfair,” Li Mingzhu said earnestly.
"Then I'll say he's a piece of trash, is that alright?"
After saying this, Li Chang'an glanced at Ye Feng with disdain and then strode away.
After Li Chang'an left, Li Mingzhu came over with her maid, Xiao Lü.
"I'm sorry, Ye Feng, my grandfather is a very outspoken person. I apologize to you on his behalf," Li Mingzhu said gently.
"It's alright, I don't mind. Besides, your grandfather is right, I really didn't help much," Ye Feng said calmly.
Li Mingzhu shook her head and said, "Captain Lin just told me that you discovered the Wind Shadow Wolf in advance, so they had more time to prepare. So, you were still able to help."
After a pause, Li Mingzhu added, "I'm just curious, Captain Lin is an expert in the early stage of the Qi Movement Realm, and the other guards are all martial artists in the Opening Yuan Realm. How did you discover the attack of the demonic beasts?"
The night wind smiled without saying a word.
"Night Wind, are you unwilling to tell me?" Li Mingzhu pressed.
“Everyone has their own secrets, Miss Li, you shouldn’t ask any more questions,” Ye Feng said, shaking his head.
Li Mingzhu then stopped asking any further questions.
Li Mingzhu, accompanied by her maid Xiao Lü, walked towards the first carriage.
Halfway there, Lin Baishan suddenly came over.
"Miss, that Ye Feng is probably not simple," Lin Baishan said mysteriously.
"you mean……"
Lin Baishan leaned close to Li Mingzhu and whispered, "When we were fighting the Wind Shadow Wolf, several guards were about to be killed by the Wind Shadow Wolf, but the Wind Shadow Wolf that was about to kill them died mysteriously."
"Also, I just had the guards check the situation. Among the thirty-eight wolf carcasses, there was a wolf king. I looked at it carefully, and that wolf king has broken through the bottleneck. It is very likely a fifth-order demon beast, equivalent to a martial arts master in the Qi Movement Realm. However, I did not fight that wolf king, and the other guards were even less likely to be its match."
"So, here's the question: who killed the wolf king? Its death is just too suspicious!"
Upon hearing Lin Baishan's words, Li Mingzhu's face showed a strong expression of curiosity.
"Captain Lin, do you mean that Ye Feng is very likely a hidden master? Did he help us?" Li Mingzhu asked.
"After thinking it over, I think this is the only explanation that makes sense. After all, our caravan only has so many people. Master, Miss, and the maid Xiao Lü certainly don't have the ability to help us in battle. In that case, it's just Ye Feng left," Lin Baishan said.
Li Mingzhu thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Yes, what you said makes a lot of sense... but you shouldn't tell anyone else."
"Why?" Lin Baishan asked, puzzled.
“I just asked Ye Feng, but he said he didn’t help. So, either he really didn’t help, or he helped but doesn’t want to admit it. Either way, I think we should pretend nothing happened.”
"Perhaps, that Night Breeze is a senior who enjoys playing the game of the mortal world?"
Li Mingzhu said with a smile.
Lin Baishan suddenly realized and nodded.
"Miss, you are indeed very thoughtful," Lin Baishan said with a smile.
"Alright, it's getting late. Captain Lin, you and your guards should get some rest. Oh, and I have some wound medicine in my car. Could you come and get it to treat the injured guards?" Li Mingzhu said.
"Thank you, Miss."
Lin Baishan nodded vigorously.
Daylight broke.
The carcasses of more than thirty wolves have all been disposed of.
However, what they really meant by "disposing of" them was simply throwing them into the mountains and forests.
Anyway, the mountains and forests are full of wild beasts and monsters, and it won't be long before those Wind Shadow Azure Wolves' bodies are eaten by other wild beasts and monsters.
Although the Wind Shadow Azure Wolf is a fourth-tier demon beast, and the Wolf King has even reached the fifth tier, there is nothing about the Wind Shadow Azure Wolf that can be used.
In reality, the vast majority of monsters are worthless.
The flesh, bones, and other materials of demonic beasts that can be used for alchemy and weapon crafting are only a minority among all demonic beasts.
Therefore, sometimes even after expending a great deal of effort to kill monsters, no reward can be obtained.
