Chapter 105

The blade issue is settled; we just need to wait for Chen Mu to come back, then we can handle these flood dragons.

However, when Zhao Zhengping and the others saw that the food supplies had suddenly decreased by a lot, they all froze.

"Aren't there fifty thousand Demon Race members? No matter how you look at it, this isn't enough."

"One meal for five thousand people, with each person getting two spirit shrimp, one giant crab, plus various sea shells and such miscellaneous items, that's how it is."

Ye Zhangqing explained, fifty thousand looks like a lot, but in reality it's really not enough to eat; after all, in the face of delicious food, everyone is a big eater, with a good appetite.

"Why not reduce the portions? That way we can last longer."

Ye Zhangqing made the suggestion, but as soon as he said it, Zhao Zhengping and the others almost didn't even think before shaking their heads and refusing.

"We can't reduce the portions."

"It's just a food supply issue, Junior Brother Zhangqing doesn't need to panic; we have our own ways."

"Yeah, worst case we just break out."

Seeing everyone's excited appearance, Ye Zhangqing really wanted to say, "I'm not the one panicking; it looks like you guys are."

Looking at each one, their faces had changed, and their brows were furrowed into a shape resembling the Chinese character for river (three parallel lines).

"Looking at it now, fifty thousand worth of food will only last a few days, and who knows when more supplies will arrive."

"Yeah, if we just wait here we'll be too passive."

"That's why I say we should just charge out."

"All you talk about is charging out; have you forgotten why we came here?"

"The sect ordered you to guard the Jinhai Yingdi, not to annihilate the East Sea Demon Race; besides, the East Sea Demon Race has plenty of Demon Kings—where does your confidence come from?"

Just as everyone was discussing, Wang Yao walked up to the flood dragon's corpse and softly said.

"Actually I have a way to lure those demon race members in."

Huh???

In an instant, all the disciples' gazes fell on Wang Yao, and Xu Jie became even more excited.

"Senior Sister Wang Yao, is what you said true?"

"Well, I once learned a forbidden technique from my master that allows bloodline connection through the essence blood of demon beasts."

"With the flood dragon's corpse in hand, I can pretend to be it and continually call for aid from the demon race."

As soon as he said that, the disciples' eyes lit up; this is great—we don't have to leave the camp, and we can have a steady stream of supplies coming to us.

Moreover, they can set up traps and ambushes in advance, greatly reducing the danger.

The light in their eyes couldn't be concealed, and even Zhao Zhengping spoke up in praise.

"Good, if it succeeds, Senior Sister Wang Yao will deserve the chief merit."

"But if we do that, the flood dragon's corpse can't be used."

"Losing a flood dragon's corpse—on this matter, the disciples turned their gazes to Ye Zhangqing, obviously wanting him to decide."

Faced with everyone's gazes, Ye Zhangqing said nothing.

"I'm fine with whatever; you decide yourselves."

I really didn't expect the Shénjiàn Fēng Dìzǐ to be so multi-talented, each having their own hidden tricks.

Look, now even the forbidden technique has come out; Ye Zhangqing only feels that the demon race is in for a rough time.

"Son Jiao Long, having been ordered to lead the demon race's strong warriors in an attack on the Jinhai Yingdi, after a night of fierce battle has now made some progress; the Shénjiàn Fēng Dìzǐ have all suffered heavy casualties."

As Senior Brother, Zhao Zhengping immediately hammered out the decision: one flood dragon's corpse can be exchanged for countless supplies—this deal is no loss no matter how you look at it, and there's no need to hesitate.

Everyone left, and Wang Yao performed the forbidden technique, quickly extracting dozens of drops of essence blood from the flood dragon's corpse, but the cost was that the corpse quickly rotted into a puddle of flesh and blood.

"What a pity, too much was lost; otherwise we could have extracted more essence blood."

Each drop of essence blood represents that Wang Yao can contact the demon race once using the flood dragon's identity; hearing her regret, Ye Zhangqing's mouth twitched.

"That's already plenty, Senior Sister."

They really intend to wipe out the demon race in one fell swoop.

"That's what the junior brother said."

She turned her head, gave Ye Zhangqing a slight smile, didn't mind it, and Wang Yao directly performed the forbidden technique in front of him, beginning to contact the demon race.

The essence blood hovered before Wang Yao, and only then did she open her mouth to speak.

"Son Jiao Long, having been ordered to lead the demon race's strong warriors in an attack on the Jinhai Yingdi, after a night of fierce battle has now made some progress; the Shénjiàn Fēng Dìzǐ have all suffered heavy casualties."

"But my son only has fifty thousand demon race troops under his command; although he wishes to crush the Jinhai Yingdi in one go and earn merit for the demon race, his strength is insufficient."

"Now the Shénjiàn Fēng Dìzǐ are at the end of their rope; I hope Father will send another fifty thousand demon race troops to support my son, and he will surely take the Jinhai Yingdi in one fell swoop."

"Son Jiao Long pays his respects."

Through the essence blood, Wang Yao's voice will become that of the flood dragon; as the words finish, the essence blood instantly vanishes from the spot, obviously having completed.

"Success."

With an innocent, sweet, pure look toward Ye Zhangqing, at this moment Wang Yao appears to be that kind of naïve little girl.

If Ye Zhangqing hadn't been here before, he would surely have thought the same, but now, that sweet smile of Wang Yao, in Ye Zhangqing's eyes, has long since changed its flavor.

This little girl really can lie without even blinking.

Listen to what she just said—it's logical and well-founded, with not a single flaw to be found.

No need to doubt; once the flood dragon clan's chief receives the message, he will likely really send another fifty thousand demon race troops right to our door.

"Senior Sister is amazing."

All he could do was give a thumbs-up and sincerely praise her.

"Hehe, just a small matter; junior brother, you rest first, I'll go find Senior Brother and the others."

She gave a sweet smile and then bounced away, truly a naïve, carefree little girl... what a load of bull.

Indeed, there's not a single easygoing person in the entire Divine Sword Peak; without some real skill, you really couldn't get by.

The battle doesn't need Ye Zhangqing to worry; previously, the fifty thousand aquatic tribe led by Jiao Min were all slaughtered, none left.

Moreover, this time the Divine Sword Peak disciples had prepared beforehand, so the result needs no further explanation.

They were originally a bunch of bold guys with endless tricks.

Giving him time to prepare is practically just asking for death.

Outside the camp, the disciples were eagerly planning, discussing in small groups how to set traps, talisman seals, formations, etc.

"Junior brother, this won't do; you need to upgrade."

"Senior brother, what do you mean by that?"

"Look, you always deliberately pretend, then bury talisman seals nearby, making the enemy think there's an ambush, then do the opposite."

"Yeah, junior brother, I'm anticipating the enemy's anticipation."

"That's true, but what if we encounter a reckless fool? Someone who, knowing there's a tiger in the mountain, still goes straight toward it—so we should also make some changes."

"Senior brother, teach me."

"If you do that, burying talisman seals even in the decoy spots, then no matter how the enemy chooses, they can't escape your arrangement, firmly standing in an invincible position."

"Senior brother, this time I plan to combine talisman seals and formations into a talisman-seal formation combination."

"With the golden light talisman as the main and the trapping formation as auxiliary, those ingredients will surely have nowhere to escape; once they step in, they can only await death, ensuring total annihilation."

"Not bad; besides that, we can also bury some arrows to shoot out later, which will also be useful."
