Without a moment to think, Chen Xuan shouted loudly, calling for Jin Xiong and the others.
"Jin Xiong, Ye Xiao, grab the tools. We need to head up the mountain," Chen Xuan instructed anxiously.
"Yes, sir!" Jin Xiong and Ye Xiao nodded immediately, their expressions serious as they turned to leave.
Before long, after ordering the Watermelon Demon to treat the wild boar, Chen Xuan hurriedly ran up the mountain with Jin Xiong and Ye Xiao.
The three of them sprinted through the back mountain, the scenery around them retreating like a tide. Since entering university, Chen Xuan had rarely visited this back mountain.
Returning to this familiar place, he was surprised to find that the vegetation was particularly lush; the once faintly visible path was now completely overgrown. Chen Xuan could only rely on his vague memories as he led Jin Xiong and Ye Xiao awkwardly up the mountain.
The trees on both sides gradually grew taller, and the vegetation became increasingly dense. Soon, they were weaving through thick foliage, with signs that they could no longer see ten meters ahead.
"Wait!" Chen Xuan suddenly called out, stopping Jin Xiong and Ye Xiao.
"Sir, what's wrong?" Jin Xiong asked, wielding a large iron shovel, his muscular chest heaving with each breath.
Chen Xuan placed a finger to his lips, signaling for them to be quiet. He tilted his head, listening intently.
Thanks to the enhancement from Azure Wood Divine Liquid, Chen Xuan's senses were exceptionally sharp at that moment; he could clearly hear sounds from twenty or thirty meters away.
Chen Xuan tilted his head and listened carefully for a moment before suddenly turning to the right and shouting, "Over here!"
Jin Xiong and Ye Xiao did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly followed him. The three of them weaved through dense vegetation that reached up to their waists. After sprinting for more than thirty meters, they emerged into a clearing.
At that moment, they saw Bai Lu lying on the ground, covered in blood. Not far from her, a black-furred humanoid beast was slowly approaching with a menacing demeanor.
What the hell! Is that a wild man or an ape? Chen Xuan was taken aback by the sight of the beast.
Wait, a Black-Furred Beast?
Jin Xiong and Ye Xiao both exclaimed in surprise, clearly astonished.
A Black-Furred Beast? What is that?
Upon hearing their voices, Chen Xuan realized that they must know the origins of this black-furred creature.
Jin Xiong quickly explained, "Sir, the Black-Furred Beast is a very common demon from the Demon Realm, known for its immense strength and low intelligence."
Demons?
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow. "Are you saying that this creature in front of us is a demon? How did it end up here?"
Jin Xiong nodded. "There's no doubt it's a demon! As for why it's here, I'm just as puzzled."
That can wait for later.
As the Black-Furred Beast took another step toward Bai Lu, Chen Xuan shouted loudly, no longer caring about anything else. He charged forward with a stick in hand.
"Sir, let me handle this kind of rough work!" Jin Xiong and Ye Xiao quickly followed him.
A Demon King and one of his capable generals found it easy to deal with a mere low-level demon, even without any magical power.
Chen Xuan charged in, barely having time to swing his staff before the Black-Furred Beast was effortlessly subdued by Jin Xiong and Ye Xiao. With a swift strike from an iron shovel, the beast was taken down cleanly.
The massive form of the Black-Furred Beast slowly collapsed. Chen Xuan, however, didn’t even glance at it as he moved directly to Bai Lu's side. Using the Perception Technique, he asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
Bai Lu let out a soft whimper and suddenly fainted.
