797: Chapter 518 797: Chapter 518 Eryao didn’t know what kind of Western Demon this was, but he knew it must be a formidable one.
Saying it was a wolf wasn’t far-fetched; its eyes emitted a green glow like a wolf’s, and its agility was also wolf-like.
The only difference was that it had transformed into a human, learning to walk on two legs and becoming somewhat of an oddity.
“Master, according to the inheritance in my memory, I can’t understand their language, but I guess it’s some kind of demon, seemingly a Wolf Demon,” Eryao guessed.
Jiang Tang acknowledged with a “Hmm.” He remembered what Ye Tian had said about the attackers he encountered, those dozens of Human Demons with green eyes, and their hands, which moved like claws when they fought.
Therefore, he could somewhat conjecture that these were Western Wolf Demons and whether they were ghosts or transformed demons was for Eryao to investigate further.
Jiang Tang hadn’t studied Demonic Beasts much.
Perhaps Eryao knew much more than he did.
There might be some differences between Western and Chinese, after all, Eryao was a Divine Beast with an inheritance, certainly far more formidable than these Western Wolf Demons.
Of course, his pet was aware of their abilities.
Eryao had inherited the legacy of the Divine Dragon and, although he was a far cry from the Dragon King, his strength was already as formidable as that of the Divine Dragon.
The only thing he lacked was achieving Immortality, but Eryao’s abilities had already peaked.
In the past, it was only a matter of time until he found the Heaven-Mending Spell, and then everything would follow in due course.
“Go catch one and see if it’s a Wolf Demon?” Jiang Tang was confident his pet had the ability to enter the town and capture a Wolf Demon turned human.
Eryao nodded.
He certainly had that confidence.
Although his abilities didn’t grow as rapidly as Jiang Tang’s, being bonded to his master meant that as the master’s abilities grew, so did theirs.
Moreover, residing all day in the Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space, with the best food and lodging, and occasionally helping to pick up pill bottles while his master’s Avatar performed Alchemy, neither he nor Green Ox were short of Pills for cultivation.
Now he and Green Ox could use Supreme Elixirs for cultivation, just like humans.
These Supreme Elixirs, refined from the Spirit Grass in the space, were as delightful as eating candy beans.
The outside world viewed a single Supreme Elixir as an incredible treasure, cherishing it greatly.
Even selling one Supreme Elixir could fetch sky-high prices at an auction.
“Alright, I’ll head into town and see if they’re all Wolf Demons!”
Jiang Tang nodded and cautioned, “Be careful, with so many Wolf Demons in there, for safety’s sake, just capture one and bring it back for questioning.”
“Master, what am I?
Those are just Wolf Demons; how can they compare to our Divine Dragons?
If they dare cross me, I’m ready to turn them into cannon fodder!” Eryao said confidently, his hands rubbing together as if he was yearning to use his claws to exterminate those Wolf Demons.
Moreover, his Thunderstrike and lightning techniques were not something those Werewolves could match; they were the nemeses of those wolves.
He was confident, believing that Divine Beasts from the East couldn’t possibly be dealt with by those Western Demon Beasts.
He alone could annihilate a group of them, and if they were disobedient, he would simply wipe them out.
After all, they were harmful Wolf Demons, and his master certainly wouldn’t blame him for killing these malevolent beings.
Seeing his pet so confident, Jiang Tang couldn’t keep Eryao cooped up in the space without battle; it would dull his fighting spirit.
Experience was typically forged through combat; without these trials, there would be no growth.
As a team member, he couldn’t always protect his pet; his pet had to be formidable too.
Otherwise, when he encountered problems, the pets at his side wouldn’t be able to help solve them.
Jiang Tang not only needed to be strong himself but also needed a strong team around him, which included raising pets as secret combat assets.
There could be many instances where he could vanquish adversaries without having to lift a finger himself.
This is why, over time, he was able to spare moments to enjoy romance with beautiful women, without being excessively busy.
Lately, Jiang Tang had taken care of some matters and established a stable foundation, beginning to contemplate his life.
His happiness in life, needless to say, wouldn’t be complete without a beauty by his side.
With his master’s permission, Eryao did not transform into a dragon but reverted to his original dragon form.
Eryao had grown accustomed to human appearance, feeling that this handsome form was more favorable than his original dragon form.
Transforming into a dragon would allow others to speculate whether he was a Divine Dragon or a mixed breed, exposing his abilities to guesses.
The human form retained a certain mystery; others would think he was merely a human, completely unaware of his dragon skills.
This would surprise them, shocking adversaries the moment he made a move, overwhelming them by the sheer strength of his abilities, which would provide him with an opportunity for victory.
Eryao opened the master-designed aperture, so that when he entered through the small door and appeared in the town, his unfamiliar presence and appearance immediately drew the attention of the Demon People in the town.
“Awoo!”
Eryao… indeed, a Wolf Demon, surrounding me—you’re all courting death!
He confirmed his earlier speculation and informed Jiang Tang about it.
“Be careful!” Jiang Tang heard his pet’s echo and knew he was surrounded.
He watched over the situation in the town with concern, ready to intervene if Eryao faced danger or was overwhelmed.
“How could these Demon People be a match for me?
Watch how I take care of them!”
Eryao observed the Wolf Demons encircling him, who had transformed into both men and women, old and young, bearing the appearance of Westerners, their eyes glowing green as they glared at him, eager to attack, their claws itching to strike.
Since Eryao shapeshifted, when had he ever been threatened by such lowly beings?
It had always been him bullying others—when had anyone ever bullied him?
To threaten him—wasn’t that seeking death?
“You Wolf Demons dare to show off in front of Dragon Grandpa?
Watch how Dragon Grandpa takes care of you!”
The language spoken by Eryao was not the human speech from the Eastern regions, but rather the Demon speech.
It was unclear whether there was a difference between the Demon speech of the East and the West, but the Wolf Demons didn’t seem to understand Eryao’s language, though they appeared very cautious of him.
They probably considered Eryao to be a formidable character they couldn’t handle.
However, they seemed to have caught a whiff of dragon meat, something the Wolf Demons had always dreamt of eating.
It was said that eating dragon meat could make one the most powerful Demon, even ascending to become a Demon Immortal.
Yet even after they shapeshifted to take on human form, which wasn’t entirely satisfactory to them—being intimidating among ordinary humans wasn’t enough.
They hadn’t yet encountered a human more formidable than themselves, but today they were suddenly trapped, unable to leave or enter, and realized they had met someone powerful.
They didn’t know whether the powerful being was a human or the Eastern Demon Person before them that looked somewhat like them.
But they did know that the Demon Person before them was the very meat they wanted to devour, as well as the Demon Person threatening them.
“Awoo!”
The call, as if from the Wolf King, prompted all the Demon People to launch a fierce attack on Eryao, aiming to strike first.
They hoped to seize the initiative, to win an opportunity for their kind.
Not to mention the Demon People’s desire to eat the dragon meat before them, its temptation too great—even the Wolf King longed for it.
“Asking for death!” Angered by their attack, Eryao leapt into the sky and transformed into a dragon shadow, his dragon claws reaching down to grab.
“Roar,” the dragon’s roar echoed through the heavens.
Following his roar, the previously soft-falling snow and the slight sunshine…
…turned into dark clouds blocking the sun after his cry, with thunder roaring and lightning flashing.
Bolt after bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, aimed directly at the cluster of Wolf Demons beneath.
The Wolf Demons, who aimed to attack Eryao, were caught off guard as he swiftly soared into the sky with his voice.
The Wolf Demons could fly as well, but they weren’t as fast as Eryao.
Just a moment too slow, they missed their chance.
When the lightning struck down, they scattered to dodge.
Facing lightning, their bane, the Wolf Demons were indeed terrified, wanting to flee, but they were confined to this small town and could not escape.
At this moment, their only thought was to overcome the threat; only by winning could they feast on dragon meat.
With the overwhelming temptation of dragon meat, they no longer cared about life and death amidst their fear.
While dodging the lightning, they kept attacking Eryao relentlessly.
But their abilities were no match for Eryao, and they failed to succeed.
