Chapter 0207: 0207
When Shushan disciples came to the Demons' Abyss, they found safety in numbers, and normally grouped in threes or fours .
Some even formed an entire organization, where merits were equally divided . Although there were many hands in the pot, their efficiency was higher as well . Everywhere they went spelled doom for the demons .
Wu Yu and Nangong Wei were but two, and also very young . If demons found them, there was a higher chance that they would attack .
"According to what I know, as long as they can force the Shushan disciples to use the Vajra Sword Talisman a certain number of times, the demons will be awarded their freedom," Wu Yu said .
"Yes, Big Brother . The demons' Yaodan is similar to our Jindan, although they have no immortal fire . Those with first tier Yaodan need to accumulate a total of 10 Vajra Sword Talismans to be released, while those with second tier Yaodan require 20, and so on . "
"How many demons have been released to date?" Wu Yu was curious .
Nangong Wei answered unhappily, "Not many, but there are about a dozen each year . I think the elders have no choice as well . If they do not give them a chance to live, then they will not attack with their full force, and that will not make for effective training . "
Wu Yu decided that her hatred for demons ran very deep indeed .
"Watch your surroundings . " For the first time since they had come here, Wu Yu did not dare to stand out . After all, he did not know how strong his own white Jindan was .
The two advanced, back to back . They were in a valley, surrounded by decaying, black stone . All around them were pitch black caves, and their entrances gaped like a maw .
"Big Brother, don't worry . If demons appear, I will protect you . After all, you just became a Jindan martial cultivator, and your Jindan quality is not high . You would lose to a majority of the demons here," Nangong Wei said seriously .
"Then I'll be counting on you . " Wu Yu smiled . This little girl had no idea how many Jindan Dao Realm cultivators he had defeated before attaining Jindan .
Just as they spoke, their surroundings changed .
Nangong Wei was immediately alerted, and her spiritual immortal treasure, the Crystal Fragment Blade, sprung to her hands . At the same time, her left arm was wrapped with nine silver bangles that tinkled as they clinked against each other . The faint, silver light also illuminated their surroundings .
"Demonic aura . " Wu Yu had smelled it .
From all around them, eerie rustling .
Without another word, Wu Yu used the Illumination Art from the Unorthodox Arts . He added a bit of Jindan essence, and the fireball that rose from his hand quickly illuminated their surroundings!
However, in order not to attract the attention of other demons, he had reined in his Jindan essence a bit .
Under the light, they could clearly see their surroundings .
As their surroundings lightened, Wu Yu realized that he and Nangong Wei had already been surrounded . All around them was a black flood that was squeaking shrilly . It was thousands and thousands of rats, each one the size of a cat . They had sharp teeth and smelled bad . The blood in their eyes made them look savage as they stared excitedly at Wu Yu and Nangong Wei .
These rats had poured out from the caves all around them . At this time, many burrowed their way out . They continued to accumulate, waiting for an opportunity as they swarmed forth .
"Disgusting . " Nangong Wei shuddered . With a wave of her hand, she pulled out a talisman, activating it . It instantly emitted smoke that curled around them .
Cheep, cheep!
When the rats came into contact with the smoke, they ran away in panic . If they were but a step slower, they would have died immediately . Soon, the rats surrounding the pair had completely dispersed .
In truth, these were but ordinary wild animals, only there were too many of them . Wu Yu could have easily destroyed them, but martial cultivators normally did not kill ordinary beasts .
It was Nangong Wei who used the exorcism talisman to chase away those rats .
However, when the horde of rats disappeared, a rat with red fur appeared . It had been hidden among the heap of rats, but it was exposed once the exorcism talisman was used .
"Demon!" Nangong Wei saw it, and bloodthirst shone on her young face . The sorrow of her past welled up, and she could see it anew .
"Ch, ch . Two little dolls at the first tier of Jindan?" The blood-red rat shrilly laughed . With a twist of its body, it turned into a squat, rat-faced, middle-aged man before their eyes . It had two points to its beard, and its squinty eyes were blood-streaked . It looked both savage and demented .
"Underground carnivorous rats becoming demons . " Wu Yu immediately identified this demon from the Lore of the Divine Continent .
"Call me Rat Father, you two brazen children! You dare to come so deep despite being at the first tier of Jindan? Rat Father has been cultivating for 1,100 years and is already at the second tier of Yaodan . I have been here for more than a decade, and I just lack two more Vajra Sword Talismans . Today, a pair have come knocking on my door . Once I finish you off, this Rat Father will be free!"
The underground carnivorous rats drank blood to live, and occasionally turned into demons . Their desire for blood was overwhelming, and they roamed in search of mortal blood . When they swarmed, thousands of mortals would fall, and they were a huge evil .
Nangong Wei had naturally recognized him as well, and the hatred in her heart grew . She said to Wu Yu, "Big Brother, you hide first . Today, Wei Er will kill this first demon in homage to my mother in heaven . "
As she said so, she hefted her Crystal Fragment Blade and Nine Bangles of the Silver Sky . Steeling her Jindan essence, she charged towards the subterranean vampiric rat .
"Wei Er, are you sure?" This subterranean vampiric rat was a 1000-year old demon, and much more powerful than the Ninth Spirit . Logically, they should deal with it together .
"Big Brother, I can do it . " Nangong Wei turned back with a smile . She wanted to put Wu Yu at ease, but the heaviness of her heart showed in her forced smile .
