Chapter 283: Wolf Bandits

Shi Quan nodded upon hearing this; there was a reason why Di Tian could be called the King of Soul Beasts by the many soul beasts.

The two continued forward, and after several days, they successfully made landfall.

Without much rest, the two flew straight toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Ah..."

Just on the way back, Shi Quan suddenly heard shrill, miserable screams coming from the distance.

"Run quickly..."

"Flee..."

Heart-wrenching and chaotic sounds came one after another. Shi Quan's figure stopped abruptly in mid-air. After just a single glance, the Holy Dragon Eight Wings behind Shi Quan flapped violently, and he sped rapidly toward the direction from which the screams originated.

"Wolf Bandit?"

In just a moment, Shi Quan's Mental Power spread out, and he soon saw a group of Wolf Bandits besieging a small village. The bloody scenes stimulated Shi Quan's nerves, and his gaze instantly turned incomparably cold.

Shi Quan sneered. After manipulating thirty-six Xuanyuan Sharp Blades to harvest the Wolf Bandits outside the Blue Silver Vine one by one, he gripped his hand coldly, and his first, second, and third Soul Rings lit up simultaneously.

Upon discovering that many of their companions had been killed, the Wolf Bandits' eyes turned blood-red one by one, and they let out wolf howls to alert their companions.

The Wolf Bandits were also intelligent. Having discovered that a formidable character had arrived, they dropped to all fours and charged crazily toward their direction, their speed incomparably fast.

Three Wolf Bandits with green light swirling around their bodies were using the cover of the houses to sneak in from the side to attack Shi Quan.

"Is that the leader?" Shi Quan's Spirit Sense quickly locked onto a Wolf Bandit of exceptionally large size with green fur. Beside that green Wolf Bandit were two other green-furred Wolf Bandits, though their fur color was lighter.

The next second, a large expanse of green light surged, and dozens of wind blades swept toward the vines.

Thirty-six Xuanyuan Flying Blades flew out, directly finishing off thirty-six Wolf Bandits.

However, the toughness of the vines clearly exceeded their expectations; they discovered that their sharp claws could not tear the vines before them at all.

"Die!" Shi Quan's cold voice resounded through the heavens. His figure flew down from the sky, thirty-six golden lights flew out from Shi Quan's back first, and the Blue Silver Emperor Tree grew rapidly from his hand, spreading out in a fan shape toward the direction of the Wolf Bandits.

"Awoo!"

Most of the Wolf Bandits swarmed toward Shi Quan.

"Hmph!" Shi Quan let out a cold snort. While the thirty-six Xuanyuan Sharp Blades continued to harvest the lives of the Wolf Bandits, the vines of the Blue Silver Emperor Tree also began to riot!

The hardened vines, like long spears, directly pierced through the bodies of the Wolf Bandits.

Facing the Blue Silver Vine blocking their path, they extended three-inch-long sharp claws from their limbs. Bringing their wolf-like traits into full play, their strong muscles propelled the claws to slash at the vines.

Even the wind blades could only barely scratch the vines, and these scratched vines recovered as good as new in the blink of an eye.

"Blue Silver Burst Kill Array!"

In an instant, in the area covered by the Blue Silver Emperor Tree vines, the hardened Blue Silver Emperor acted like sawteeth, erupting with terrifying power before contracting and protruding. The Wolf Bandits within the range of the Blue Silver Emperor vines were all knocked into the air and then completely pierced through!

The Wolf Bandit leader who was preparing to ambush had not even gotten close before its heart was directly pierced, and it fell miserably to the ground.

"Hm?" Shi Quan tilted his head, his gaze landing on the thigh of the Wolf Bandit leader. The Blue Silver Emperor vine stirred, immediately revealing a mass of shining green light.

It was actually a Right Leg Soul Bone, containing a faint green light and emitting an aura of bloodthirst.

"A soul bone? Which group of Wolf Bandits from the original story is this?" Shi Quan thought to himself. He controlled the vine to coil, and the soul bone flew back, landing steadily in Shi Quan's hand before he stored it in his Hundred Treasure Bag.

After the thirty-six Xuanyuan Sharp Blades harvested all the dying Wolf Bandits, they submerged back into Shi Quan's back.

"Thank you... thank you, Spirit Master, for saving our lives." The surviving villagers wept bitterly as they bowed in gratitude to Shi Quan.

"Still too slow." Shi Quan shook his head helplessly. This village had a population of about two hundred; by the time he arrived, the remaining population was less than half.

Most of these survivors were women, with a small portion being children and men. As for the elderly, they had all perished; it appeared they had all died in the struggle against the Wolf Bandits in order to fight for a glimmer of survival for the others.

"My condolences." Shi Quan sighed softly, opening his Blue Silver Domain, and the Blue Silver Emperor Tree appeared behind Shi Quan.

His left foot erupted with brilliant light, and the Blue Silver Light spread out, enveloping these remaining villagers.

As the Life Power merged in, whether these villagers had minor injuries or severed limbs, they were all healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Is this really something a human can do?" The villagers stared blankly at their bodies, which had recovered as good as new, and could not help but exclaim that it was a miracle.

This was only the reaction of a very small number of people; more people were still clutching those bloody corpses. Some had dull expressions, some cried in grief, and some shed silent tears.

Among these corpses were their sisters, husbands, children, and elders.

Yet this sudden disaster had caused their loved ones, relatives, and friends to be separated by life and death in an instant.

"Mommy... Daddy..."

A little girl of six or seven years old, her face covered in blood and tear stains, cried loudly in front of two corpses whose chests had already been pierced by the Wolf Bandits.

Seeing this, Shi Quan shook his head and sighed even more. He walked slowly to the front of the little girl and asked softly, "Little sister, what is your name?"

Hearing the voice, the little girl answered in a delicate voice, "Wuwu... my name is Ding Die."

"Ding Die? What a beautiful name." Shi Quan raised his hand to gently wipe the tears and blood from Ding Die's face, continuing to soothe her softly, "Don't cry anymore. Your mommy and daddy just went to another place. Sooner or later, they will appear by your side in another way to accompany you."

Shi Quan's gentle voice was like a spring breeze, as if it could take away all sorrow.

"Big brother, is what you said true?" Ding Die looked at Shi Quan with her pair of watery, big eyes.

"Of course. When people die, they enter Reincarnation. Although they have gone to another world, your mommy and daddy will carry your love and return to this world again."

"Brother, what is Reincarnation?" A glimmer of light appeared in Ding Die's reddened eyes.

"Reincarnation is the continuation of death and the rebirth of life." Shi Quan gently stroked Ding Die's head, "Your mommy and daddy's bodies have only died, but their Soul Souls will enter a world called the Underworld. There, they will obtain a new life, and then come to our world again in a new life."

"Underworld? Reincarnation?" Ding Die did not quite understand Shi Quan's words. In her little head, she only knew that her parents would return again, and her bright, lively eyes also regained their luster...
