Su Mo snapped, "Hurry up! I don’t have time to waste on you two. If you don’t get moving, I’ll slaughter you right now."
He and Xiao Qingxue had been having such a pleasant time together.
But it was just one thing after another.
And then this damned dog had to come and interrupt them.
One can imagine just how annoyed Su Mo was.
Now, this damned dog and damned cat were dragging their feet, and Su Mo’s patience snapped. He was of half a mind to kill the Demon Beasts and take their cores.
"Ah... Senior, please calm your anger! We’ll speed up right now! AWOOO..."
With a sharp cry, the two beasts immediately quickened their steps.
Although Su Mo was forcing them toward the Array of Ten Thousand Undying Demons, where they had a ninety percent chance of dying, there was at least still a sliver of hope.
It was better than being killed by Su Mo on the spot.
Besides, delaying death, even for a moment, was still a win.
WOOOO...
After walking for about half a day, a strange, piercing sound suddenly came from up ahead. It sounded like something crying, a spine-chilling noise.
The Black Demon Wolf said, "Senior, the core of Qu Luo’s Tomb is just ahead!"
Su Mo looked up and saw that the area ahead was incredibly dim. Besides the strange crying sound, gusts of gloomy wind would blow out from it from time to time.
This wind was incredibly cold. When it blew against one’s skin, it felt like sharp knives, cutting with a stinging pain.
Even the Black Demon Wolf and the Striped Demon Tiger couldn’t withstand it.
While still a good distance away, the two beasts instinctively came to a halt.
Su Mo asked, "Why have you stopped?"
"Senior, that’s the Bone-Eroding Yin Wind up ahead!"
the Black Demon Wolf warned.
Su Mo asked, confused, "What’s the Bone-Eroding Yin Wind?"
The Black Demon Wolf and the Striped Demon Tiger were instantly stunned.
’Su Mo doesn’t even know about the Bone-Eroding Yin Wind?’
’All that power is wasted on him. He’s completely ignorant.’
The Striped Demon Tiger explained, "The Bone-Eroding Yin Wind is a Demonic Wind from Hell produced by the Array of Ten Thousand Undying Demons. This wind is extremely vicious. Not only is it sharp as a blade, but it also has corrosive power that can dissolve even bone."
"It’s that powerful?"
Su Mo said, surprised.
"Yes, it’s exactly that powerful. I once saw a companion of mine accidentally wander into the Demonic Wind from Hell. Not only was most of its flesh flayed off, but all of its bones were corroded away. It was a truly gruesome death."
The Black Demon Wolf tried its best to dissuade him. "Senior, we really shouldn’t go! It’s not worth dying in there for a few Extreme Yang Spirit Stones!"
Su Mo thought for a moment. "Alright, I’ll give it a try. If it’s really as powerful as you say, we’ll turn back."
’Extreme Yang Spirit Stones are important, but not worth my life.’
’I know when to back down.’
"Yes, Senior!"
Seeing Su Mo relent, the two beasts were overjoyed.
The Striped Demon Tiger secretly sent a voice transmission to the Black Demon Wolf. "Old Wolf, should we warn Senior again not to get hurt by the Bone-Eroding Yin Wind?"
"If he gets hurt, he gets hurt. What’s it got to do with us?"
the Black Demon Wolf replied nonchalantly.
The Striped Demon Tiger worried, "What if he blames us for it later?"
The Black Demon Wolf snorted coldly. "Hmph, we told him not to come, but he insisted. How can he blame us? If he doesn’t suffer a little, he’ll think we were just making things up to fool him."
"Alright,"
the Striped Demon Tiger said.
’Getting punished by Su Mo later is better than being beaten to death now for trying to stop him. At least this way, we’ll survive.’
Under the two beasts’ nervous gaze, Su Mo swaggered right into the Bone-Eroding Yin Wind.
SWOOSH!
Countless gusts of wind transformed into blades and surged toward Su Mo, frightening the two beasts so badly that they quickly shut their eyes.
"Hey, Old Wolf, you don’t think he was actually killed by the Bone-Eroding Yin Wind, do you?"
"It’s possible!"
"Should we open our eyes and look?"
"Okay. If he’s dead, we can use this chance to escape. And we can eat his woman while we’re at it!"
"Hehehe, it’s been a long time since we’ve had fresh human meat, especially a tender young woman."
The two beasts gloated as they turned to look at Su Mo.
However, in the next second, they were completely dumbfounded.
Su Mo was standing in the middle of the Bone-Eroding Yin Wind, completely unharmed. Forget being killed by the wind blades—he didn’t even have a single scratch on his skin.
"What? The Bone-Eroding Yin Wind has no effect on him?"
the Black Demon Wolf exclaimed, rubbing its eyes in disbelief.
The Striped Demon Tiger stood frozen on the spot, its face also a mask of utter disbelief.
Even from hundreds of meters away, it could feel the terrifying power of the Bone-Eroding Yin Wind, like tiny steel needles piercing its skin and pores, a bone-chilling cold.
And yet, Su Mo was completely fine.
However, Su Mo was even more bewildered than they were.
’The Bone-Eroding Yin Wind is indeed a bit cold and sharp, but it’s nowhere near as exaggerated as the Black Demon Wolf and the Striped Demon Tiger made it out to be.’
’Can this thing really kill someone?’
Su Mo asked doubtfully, "Are you two sure this is the Bone-Eroding Yin Wind?"
"We’re sure!"
the Black Demon Wolf and the Striped Demon Tiger replied, on the verge of a mental breakdown.
’They had seen their companion’s entire skeleton get corroded by this wind with their own eyes. Why didn’t it have any effect on Su Mo?’
"You two are way too timid. You don’t even deserve to be called Demon Beasts. Out in the real world, you would’ve been eaten by other Demon Beasts long ago."
Su Mo beckoned to Xiao Qingxue. "Wifey, come and give it a try!"
"Okay!"
Xiao Qingxue answered and walked into the Bone-Eroding Yin Wind, standing shoulder to shoulder with Su Mo.
"How does it feel?"
the Black Demon Wolf asked impatiently.
Xiao Qingxue replied, "I don’t feel anything."
What?!
’She doesn’t feel anything?’
The Black Demon Wolf and the Striped Demon Tiger were stunned.
’Standing in such a terrifying Bone-Eroding Yin Wind, and Xiao Qingxue says she doesn’t feel anything?’
’That’s impossible!’
Xiao Qingxue said, bewildered, "Isn’t this just ordinary wind? It’s a bit cool, that’s all. What is there to feel?"
"This..."
The Black Demon Wolf looked at the Striped Demon Tiger. "Brother Hu, what do you think?"
The Striped Demon Tiger said hesitantly, "From the looks of it, they don’t seem to be lying."
"Then should we try it too?"
the Black Demon Wolf asked hesitantly.
The Striped Demon Tiger nodded. "Let’s try it, then! We’re Demon Beasts, our hides are much tougher than humans’. If the Bone-Eroding Yin Wind has no effect on them, it definitely can’t hurt us!"
"Let’s go!"
The Black Demon Wolf took a deep breath and walked into the Bone-Eroding Yin Wind alongside the Striped Demon Tiger.
However, they quickly realized something was wrong.
The Striped Demon Tiger cried out in pain, "Old Wolf, why does it feel like someone’s pricking me with needles? It hurts!"
"I feel it too!"
the Black Demon Wolf said, grimacing.
The Striped Demon Tiger asked, "So, are we going to keep walking?"
"Yes! We can’t let them show us up,"
the Black Demon Wolf said defiantly.
’If Su Mo and Xiao Qingxue aren’t afraid, then we, as Demon Beasts with bodies several times stronger than humans, have even less reason to be.’
’Besides, we have thick fur for protection. Why should we lose to humans and be looked down upon by them?’
’We absolutely cannot admit defeat.’
The two beasts braced themselves and continued walking forward.
Suddenly, the Black Demon Wolf sniffed the air. "Brother Hu, do you smell that? It smells like blood."
"I smell it!"
The Striped Demon Tiger rolled its eyes. "Your chest is scraped raw, and you’re standing this close to me. Of course I can smell it!"
