Chapter 283: Bountiful Harvest

They watched warily as the thicket kept swaying; at first they could still hear the black wolf demon's roar and struggle.

「Which rat scum dares to sneak attack you, Wolf Grandpa............. 」

「Shut up. 」

「You dare hit me? 」

「I'll fucking kill you. 」

「I'll eat you guys. 」

「Junior Sister, block it. 」

However, soon the black wolf demon's voice disappeared, the thicket returned to calm, and it stopped swaying.

Three forest bandits stared fixedly at the thicket ahead; then, as Wanxiang's tall, sturdy figure stood up first, the three were clearly startled.

「Holy shit, an ape demon.......... 」

No way, it's just that Wanxiang's build resembles the ape demon clan, both extremely burly; at first glance they really do look a bit alike.

「Watch your fucking mouth, who's the ape demon? 」

As for this, Wanxiang was extremely dissatisfied.

「Huh? Not a demon? 」

Upon closer look, the three realized this seemed to be a human; afterwards, Ye Zhangqing, Zhao Zhengping, Xu Jie and others also walked out of the thicket one after another, still dragging that black wolf demon.

At this moment it was trussed up like a zongzi by the Demon-Binding Rope, its mouth also tied shut, making only whimpering sounds.

「This............... 」

「Haven't seen anyone catch a demon before, making a fuss over nothing. 」

Wanxiang said impatiently; hearing this, the three came to their senses, though they still couldn't accept what they saw for a moment.

You say, how can such a tiny thicket hide so many people?

Not to mention them, even the black wolf demon didn't expect that.

But no matter what, they had been saved a life; the three still bowed and thanked the crowd, while the crowd naturally didn't mind, waved them off, and dragged the black wolf demon away.

Changing location, they continued to crouch in the grass.

Xu Jie is smart; anyway, as long as he follows these forest bandits, he'll surely get an opportunity.

Soon he caught up with two other forest bandits; seeing that, the two had found a cave and proceeded cautiously.

「We'll ambush here; when the demon beast comes out, we'll take it down. 」

He said this to everyone, then didn't enter the cave but waited in the thicket outside.

Meanwhile, the two forest bandits cautiously entered the cave and immediately saw a black bear demon sleeping inside.

One of them made a gesture, the other understood instantly, and quickly took out bewitching powder to stupefy the black bear demon.

Immediately, the two began to loot the treasures inside the cave.

However, the bewitching powder used by these forest bandits is obviously low-grade, completely incomparable to Hong Zun's Gastrodia powder.

Moreover, this black bear demon had cultivation of the Purple Demon Realm, so before the two could successfully escape, the black bear demon woke up.

As soon as it opened its eyes, it saw two sneaky figures walking past its face; the two humans and the bear stared at each other, and the air fell silent for a moment.

「Big Brother, is it awake? 」

「Seems so. 」

「Roar.......... 」

「Run! 」

With a roar from the black bear demon, the two fled; behind them, the black bear demon erupted in pursuit, 'Vile little thieves, dare to steal its treasure—today I will eat you!'

Just like before, the scene repeated; meanwhile, Xu Jie and the others had already laid in ambush in the thicket outside the cave.

Hearing that roar, everyone couldn't help but laugh, 'Here they come.'

As expected, soon the two humans and the bear charged out of the cave.

They ran straight toward the thicket; the two in front leapt over it in a single bound, while the black bear demon behind, like an earthen tank, barreled straight through, looking truly terrifying in momentum.

Many sturdy trees were snapped by its impacts, yet as it drew nearer the thicket, the bound black wolf demon's eyes showed sympathy.

You fucking really don't know how many people can actually fit in this tiny thicket.

What's the use of snapping so many big trees? It's just going to fall in this tiny thicket.

Seeing the thicket approach, the black bear demon indeed had no intention of dodging.

Even sturdy trees couldn't stop it—what could a little thicket do?

It charged right in, but as its face just entered the thicket, the black bear demon slammed on the brakes, its eyes flashing a distinctly human-like fear.

「Holy shit, how come there are so many people? 」

But trying to brake now was obviously too late; Wanxiang's big hand already grabbed the black bear demon's head and yanked hard.

「Come on in. 」

Immediately, the huge black bear demon whooshed, was dragged straight into the grass, and Wanxiang applied a chokehold.

「Death lock. 」

He shoved the black bear demon beneath him, locking its neck with both hands.

It was an instant kill, but Xu Jie beside him shouted angrily.

「Go easy, don't kill it. 」

Lu Youyou shouted the same.

「Loosen your grip, loosen your grip, it's foaming at the mouth. 」

「Whoops, sorry, I couldn't control the force. 」

「Any breath left? 」

It seems there's still a bit.

I'm really fed up with you, you oaf; just hold him down, why are you choking his throat?

Used to it, used to it.

Forget it, tie him up first then we'll talk.

He had no ability to resist; after entering the grass, he was knocked out directly by Wanxiang's cross lock, and then he was tied up.

Seeing the black bear spirit's eyes roll white and foam at the mouth, the black wolf demon's eyes were full of terror—these people are damn devils, right?

It has been a demon for so many years, yet it has never seen a human crouch in the grass like this, and this technique is so skilled—what's going on?

Afterwards, wherever there were Forest Bandit heroes, one could see a group of people crouching in the grass.

At the front were a group of strong men led by Wanxiang and others, disciples of the Dragon Elephant Peak; afterwards were Xu Jie, Zhao Zhengping, etc., holding the Demon-Binding Rope, ready to strike at any moment.

The Forest Bandit heroes wanted treasures, while Xu Jie and company only wanted ingredients; their cooperation could be called perfect.

Moreover, because of everyone's presence, the casualty rate of the Forest Bandit heroes actually greatly decreased.

Because whenever these Forest Bandit heroes were chased by demon beasts, a group of strong men would descend from the grass and rescue them from fire and water.

After a day, everyone captured over a hundred demon beasts, enough for a meal.

The Demon-Binding Rope dragged a long line of demon beasts; on the way, Wang Yao also sighed.

If only my master were here.

Qing Shi has a hook; he can directly hook these demon beasts in, obviously more convenient.

Also, it's about enough; today's harvest was good; go back, pick out what can be raised and raise it, what can't be raised, eat it.

Just as they were speaking, they met a group of Forest Bandit heroes head-on; upon seeing Ye Zhangqing and company, they immediately enthusiastically came forward.

Thank you, brother, for saving my life.

Yeah, if it weren't for the brothers' help, we would likely be in grave danger today.

Just now I asked how to address you, brother; this lifesaving kindness is unforgettable.

I see you bear the demeanor of a Bandit Sage, Bandit God; you will surely become one of the legends of our Forest Bandits.

Looks like our Forest Bandits will prosper; before we had the Bandit Sage and Bandit God, now we have you brothers, talents emerging in succession.
