Chapter 376 Trap
The size of Whale Island is far beyond that of ordinary islands.
Even a behemoth like the Tyrant Whale Sect only occupies a corner of the island.
More areas were occupied by demons, who raised ordinary wild animals and low-level demons, and occasionally organized fishing trips to the sea, living a very comfortable life.
On the border between the Tyrant Whale Sect and West Island, four figures quietly entered the demon territory and stepped into a green wasteland.
"Brother Wang, you've cultivated so fast! I thought it would take at least a day."
Tang Yi joked casually, while Ye Kang just smiled.
His so-called cultivation was actually just strengthening the Azure Blade in the Divine Martial Furnace.
The Great King used up the precious wood, and the Azure Sky Blade successfully enhanced its second aspect: [Lightness of the Heart].
As soon as Ye Kang got his hands on the blade, he could clearly feel that it was different from before. The weight of the Azure Sky Blade could be light or heavy, and he could control it at will when slashing. He could gather thousands of blade energies into one point and unleash an unparalleled slash, or he could pick it up heavily and put it down gently without causing any damage.
In summary, after these two aspects were strengthened, Ye Kang's control over the Biluo Blade increased by at least 50%, and its power increased by at least 40%.
He said, "It's just a small problem, and it'll be resolved quickly. After all, coming to a dangerous place like West Island, it's always good to become a little stronger."
Everyone nodded, agreeing with him.
Wan Qing had the same idea when he bought the Youguang Lamp.
"By the way, Brother Wang, you said you felt this matter wasn't so simple? Is there some kind of speculation?" Jin Yuan suddenly asked.
Ye Kang nodded: "No matter what, the two-horned demon hounds are essential resources for the disciples of the Tyrant Whale Sect to improve. I believe the demon hound clan cannot be unaware of this. Even so, they still dare to come and roam around. Either they have absolute confidence, or they have protectors behind them."
"impossible."
Jin Yuan shook his head directly: "The Twin-Horned Demon Dog Clan only has one Divine Sea Realm demon, the Bloodfang Dog King. It's impossible for the Demon King to personally protect them."
"Perhaps I'm overthinking it," Ye Kang said without refuting.
But his intuition told him that something was wrong.
He had to trust his intuition, because he possessed the Nine-Turn Auspicious Star Technique.
Although I don't have the same abilities as the Carp God, I still have to believe in metaphysics occasionally.
Even so, he did not intend to leave. After all, his goal was to obtain as much information as possible about the Demon King of the Sixteen Caves, and he could not miss such a great opportunity.
"Fellow Daoists, I am new here. Why don't you tell me about the Twenty-Four Cave Demon Kings?" he said casually.
Wan Qing showed an understanding expression and said, "That's right. Everyone knows that the Twenty-Four Cave Demon Kings are actually twenty-four Divine Sea Realm demons. It's just that there are many of them, which makes them seem impressive. In fact, apart from the demon kings of the first ten caves, the rest are inferior in the Divine Sea Realm and are no match for the Divine Sea Realm elders of my Tyrant Whale Sect."
Wan Qing was quite pleased with himself and proud of his identity.
He continued, "The demon kings of the first ten caves are focused on cultivation and rarely come out. Therefore, the disputes all arise with the later fourteen caves. Among them, the most active are the twenty-fourth and eighteenth caves. The Bloodfang Dog King is eager for quick success and instant benefits, while the Blue-Faced Fox King of the eighteenth cave has a perverted personality and likes to torture humans the most."
Ye Kang revealed a look of sudden realization, and casually chuckled, "I didn't expect that even the Eighteenth Cave would dare to be so arrogant. What about the demon kings of the Seventeenth and Sixteenth Caves?"
Wan Qing, as expected, did not notice anything amiss and waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry, the Azure Toad King of Cave 17 and the Crimson-Eyed Bear King of Cave 16 are at odds. The two often fight amongst themselves and basically do not interact with us."
"I see."
Ye Kang nodded.
The sixteenth cave's demon king, the Red-Eyed Bear King.
Judging from its name, it must be a bear. If I want to obtain that innate spiritual fire, this bear is my biggest obstacle, and I must find a way to get rid of it.
As Ye Kang was pondering, Wan Qing suddenly said, "Everyone be careful. Ahead lies the border wasteland. The Two-Horned Demon Dog clan loves to hunt in packs on the wasteland. We must hide ourselves to avoid trouble."
As he spoke, he and Jin Yuan each put on a concealment robe.
Ye Kang also took out his own robe and put it on. Tang Yi, of course, didn't need to say anything more; an adventurous person like him couldn't possibly lack such a thing.
The four of them concealed their presence tightly, and before they had gone far, sure enough, four or five two-horned demon hounds appeared.
These creatures were entirely black and red, with soft fur and two small horns on their heads. They were twice the size of ordinary wild dogs and were the most common demons, with a cultivation level similar to the catfish demon that Ye Kang killed the first time.
On West Island, it belongs to a newborn baby.
They hunt in packs, and the wild rabbits that roam the wasteland are their food. A single demon hound needs to eat dozens of rabbits to be full.
During this period, some of the demonic hounds will become prey for human warriors.
The group had no interest in the small creature and bypassed it, heading deep into the wasteland.
The entire wasteland was actually the boundary line; the so-called depths were not actually the true territory of the demons.
However, according to Wan Qing's intelligence, the Nine-Leaf Demon Dog that had just appeared was wandering around this area.
"Brother Tang, Brother Wang, why don't we set up an array here? Then I'll lure it over. Once the beast falls into the trap, I'm sure there won't be any problems."
"Alright, please wait a moment."
Tang Yi and Ye Kang exchanged a glance and began to set up their formations.
Tang Yi was going to set up a trap formation.
This formation leaves no trace on the ground and has no aura, but once activated, it will immediately create a sinkhole, and those trapped will temporarily lose their ability to fly and be forcibly pulled underground.
Meanwhile, a fiery wave is also deployed underground, whose burning attack can instantly destroy the enemy's defenses, making it an extremely insidious formation.
For the Tang family, this formation was not difficult; they simply placed the array plates one by one and quickly completed the setup.
Ye Kang then took out three array plates that he hadn't used in a long time, which he had obtained in the Lingyin Temple secret realm.
Unfortunately, the three array plates only have one last chance to be used before they are completely destroyed.
Fortunately, Ye Kang had already mastered the minor aspects of the Xuanmen Formation, so there was no need to feel bad. At worst, he could just make a few more sets once he reached the Great Perfection.
He set up both the spirit-locking array and the spirit-bewitching array to ensure they could be activated at any time, while also keeping them hidden. With everything ready, the group flew off into the distance.
"Gentlemen, I cannot guarantee when that beast will appear. To avoid trouble, I will personally lure him here. Please wait here."
Wan Qing cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Ye Kang and Tang Yi, his tone sincere.
Jin Yuan looked on expectantly: "Brother Qing, I'll go with you."
"No." Wan Qing shook his head decisively.
“You all wait here. That beast is very strong. Your cultivation is not high enough. Going over rashly will only be more dangerous. Remember, you can only make a move after you have trapped that guy with an array. Otherwise, don’t worry about me, just run.”
After Wan Qing finished speaking, he and Jin Yuan exchanged a deep look.
The latter had tears in her eyes and clenched her fists tightly.
In the end, she nodded solemnly.
"Brother Qing, be careful."
