Chapter 3053: Withdraw Upon Success
This tiger demon was the first lucky one to be hit, extremely precise, disappearing before it could even be seen clearly.
While the other demons nearby were still bewildered, more branches followed closely behind.
Moreover, these branches were precisely aimed, specifically targeting the soft ribs.
They aimed for the vital spot, the neck, the ankles—wherever it was easy to strike, they viciously kicked the cripple's lame leg.
In a moment, the beast herd that had been advancing and retreating in order fell into complete chaos.
The outskirts were already in utter chaos, demons being violently dragged into the starry sky one after another, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
Such intense disturbance was quickly noticed by several primordial demon race elders in the central region.
Upon being questioned, they learned that they had encountered an attack.
Divine sense spread rapidly, frenetically extending in all directions, but because they had prepared in advance, facing the primordial demon race elders' divine sense probe, they could not detect any clue for a moment.
The several primordial demon race elders could only furrow their brows, exchanging doubtful glances.
"Are they carrying a treasure that hides their aura?"
Although the demons claim not to understand formations or the Way of Talismans, they have never cared about these things, and some even scoff at them.
But after fighting the primordial human race for so many years, they naturally know well the methods of humans.
They quickly guessed that this might be a human method.
An elder coldly shouted.
"Heh, as expected, it's still a bunch of despicable lot, only daring to hide in the dark and use these underhanded tactics."
Saying this, one of the elders directly invoked his own bloodline divine ability.
Humans are skilled in formations and the Way of Talismans, so the demons naturally have means to counter them.
You humans can hide your aura with these treasures, but what about the scent?
Tracking by scent can also locate your whereabouts.
And this demon race elder's true form is the Swallow Sun Demon Dog clan; besides its formidable combat prowess, its sense of smell is among the very best of all demon races.
Having cultivated to this level, it has honed its entire bloodline divine ability to an extremely profound degree, believing it could not fail to locate the humans.
Meanwhile, on the other side, having succeeded in the strike and with things going smoothly, the people looked at the primordial demon race ingredients dragged back by their tree pets, grinning so wide their mouths couldn't close.
This method really works.
Look at the previous Iron Peak Clan Chief, who coaxed and deceived, finally managing to bring back only a couple of primordial demon race ingredients.
But this time they got thousands, nearly every Black Mist Forest Tree Ghost bringing back one ingredient.
This was to ensure success rate; otherwise, a single Black Mist Forest Tree Ghost might have been able to drag back more than one ingredient.
However, the more branches a Black Mist Forest Tree Ghost uses, the weaker its strength becomes, far less than the power of a single branch.
Therefore, from the start, everyone decided to take only one each time.
Moreover………………………
With the ingredients in hand, they were happy, yet remained clear-headed, only hearing Qi Xiong shout loudly.
"Withdraw."
Immediately, they saw everyone skillfully hoist the primordial demon race ingredients onto their shoulders, turn and leave, without any hesitation.
"Fire a shot, change location"—this is also part of Xu Jie's plan.
Although there are formation talismans for concealment, the formation talisman masters among humans said this cannot guarantee 100% effectiveness.
After all, to become an existence of primordial race elder level, who doesn't have some hidden tricks.
Under normal circumstances, theory says there's no problem, but theory is something everyone understands, yet in reality it often goes awry.
So you can use this, but cannot rely on it too much.
And the best method is naturally to withdraw upon success, fire a shot and change place, never giving the opponent a chance.
Everyone knows the procedure of the plan, so retreating now is naturally done without any delay.
In the blink of an eye, they had already vanished.
At the same time, the elder of the Swallow Sun Demon Dog clan also successfully located this place using his own bloodline divine ability.
There was also an extremely faint scent residue, confirming that the ones who had just acted were right here.
But as the divine sense swept over immediately afterward, not a single human figure was seen.
This elder furrowed his brows and said.
"They ran?"
The other elders nearby, hearing this, asked curiously.
"You couldn't find them either?"
"These guys ran too fast; they must have left as soon as they succeeded."
"They left after succeeding? What for?"
"Stop guessing; send some demons to check."
Soon, a squad of demons rushed to where the people had been.
But they found nothing; after searching the surroundings several rounds, they saw not a trace of a person, estimating they really had fled, and without the slightest hesitation.
"Credit them for being fast."
The leading demon, seeing the search fruitless, cursed fiercely, and was about to lead the squad away when, in the next second, beams of light suddenly appeared all around.
Familiar human talismans floated up one by one in the air.
These talismans had been deliberately hidden earlier; they were just petty tricks, and while busy searching for people, no one paid attention, nor did anyone expect that after the people fled, they would still have set up talismans.
But now these talismans have been activated, naturally floating in midair.
Watching these talismans appear out of thin air, the leading demon's face darkened, and he shouted loudly.
"Be careful."
But as soon as the words fell, there was no time at all for these primordial demon race to prepare, and numerous talismans exploded with a boom.
Immediately, lightning and blazing fire instantly filled the entire space, swallowing up these primordial demon race.
The sudden upheaval left these primordial demon race flustered, forcing them to exert all their strength to resist the talismans' attack.
Fortunately, those who came this time were all strong ones among the primordial demon race, their strength not insignificant.
Relying on these talismans, trying to kill them on the spot is obviously not very realistic.
They were caught off guard by this sudden attack, but quickly steadied their formation.
No wonder they could break through the Shenjie of the primordial human race; these primordial demon race's abilities are indeed extraordinary.
Far from being comparable to the captive demon race of the Immortal Realm.
After a heaven-shaking, earth-destroying attack, this batch of primordial demon race actually managed to endure.
Some were injured, but not fatally; a wave of talisman strikes seemed to have little effect.
The leader of this demon race even gritted their teeth and shouted.
"These Human Race, they even learned to use such petty tricks, but unfortunately, it's useless."
Their heart full of contempt, they also secretly swore that once they captured these Human Race, they would devour them bite by bite, turning them into blood food to nourish themselves.
But just as the words fell, thinking they were safe, a pitch-black tree branch shot out again from the distant starry sky.
Its speed was extremely fast, leaving them no time to prepare, and it precisely bound their vital point.
