Chapter 126 Ending and Harvest
When Xia Yuhui returned to the battlefield, he was surprised to find that the battle had ended. Most of the wolf demons had failed to escape. Except for a few second-tier wolf demons that were too fast to be caught, the rest were left behind.
At this moment, Xia Yuhui stood in the center of the battlefield, and occasionally saw some demon wolves twitching and writhing. However, he had no pity for them. He stood here only to make it easier to absorb the remaining souls around him.
Just as Xia Yuhui was quietly waiting for the others to return, a strange movement suddenly came from the belly of a wolf demon not far from him.
At first, Xia Yuhui didn't pay attention, but when a wolf cub ran out of the demon wolf's belly...
Xia Yuhui immediately used the divine stone to investigate, and soon he noticed something unusual. This little wolf cub had an exceptionally noble bloodline. If Xia Yuhui's guess was correct, it should be the offspring of two second-tier demon wolves.
For cultivators, their upper limit is mostly determined at birth, since having a good spiritual root is of utmost importance.
The same applies to demonic beasts. However, the quality of a cultivator's spiritual root depends entirely on luck, except for children born to parents who are both cultivators. Sometimes, even if both parents have heavenly spiritual roots, their children may have pseudo-spiritual roots or useless spiritual roots, or even none at all.
As for demonic beasts, only those with noble bloodlines have the potential to become powerful. If one's bloodline is noble, their growth rate, lifespan, and various talents will all be quite high. Conversely, if one's bloodline is poor, their growth rate will be as slow as a snail, their lifespan may be even lower than that of mortals, and talents will be out of the question.
However, among humans and demons, there are also some who are blessed with great fortune. Although their talents and bloodlines are not good, they can catch up with those with high talents through their own luck and hard work. However, such cases are very rare, so rare that Xia Yuhui has never heard of many cases in his life.
After getting a clear look at the wolf cub, Xia Yuhui flashed and arrived beside it.
When the wolf cub saw that there were still people around, it showed a hint of despair, but it did not give up its will to survive. Instead, it ran straight into the distance.
However, it hadn't run more than a few steps when it was firmly pressed to the ground by a strong little hand. No matter how much it struggled, the little hand didn't budge and held it firmly to the ground.
Although the wolf cub was not yet an adult, its size was already more than two or three times that of Xia Yuhui. Therefore, if Xia Yuhui wanted to observe its physique and bloodline, he could only press it to the ground and examine it carefully.
After observing for a while, Xia Yuhui finally let go and quietly gazed at the little wolf cub.
Upon regaining its freedom, the wolf cub immediately turned to Xia Yuhui, baring its teeth and claws, but did not choose to run away.
In the fierce battle just now, Xia Yuhui's outstanding performance made Xiaolang realize his ferocity and strength, and he no longer harbored any illusions.
"Submit to me, or I will make you wish you were dead." Xia Yuhui said this with unusual composure.
This demonic beast has pure blood; it is a pure-blooded Gale Wolf. It has now reached the peak of the first tier, and in a few months, it will probably advance to the second tier. At that time, it will have a second-tier demonic beast as its helper.
Of course, he wasn't worried that the beast wouldn't understand. Beasts with noble bloodlines usually possess high intelligence, and the little wolf could understand such simple words.
Upon hearing this, the little wolf froze on the spot, the saliva that had not yet been swallowed slowly dripping to the ground, emitting a pungent stench.
The little wolf roughly understood Xia Yuhui's meaning. After all, Xia Yuhui not only said it aloud, but also conveyed the general meaning to it through telepathy. The little wolf understood that if it agreed, its life could be saved.
However, the person before him was his mortal enemy, and even his father had died at this man's hands.
Wolf demons are known for their vengeful nature. They will remember the scent of anyone who dares to offend them for life and will seek revenge whenever they have the chance. Therefore, the wolf demon must be extremely unwilling at this moment, but it is afraid of death and is therefore hesitant.
Seeing this, Xia Yuhui instantly conjured a bolt of lightning in his hand. Since it was unwilling, he would let it taste the pain of being struck by lightning.
Seeing Xia Yuhui's murderous intent, the wolf demon crouched down and slowly approached Xia Yuhui, repeatedly licking his shoes with its mouth.
When Xia Yuhui saw that the wolf demon had licked his pants and shoes wet, he was furious and kicked the wolf demon away.
The wolf demon flew several meters before crashing heavily to the ground. However, after getting up, it saw the wolf corpses scattered all over the mountains and fields, so it hurriedly ran to Xia Yuhui's side and lay down.
However, this time he dared not lick it again.
Seeing that the wolf demon was so sensible, Xia Yuhui immediately had Qingfeng and Mingyue guard the surroundings, while he himself condensed a spell in his mind and struck the wolf demon's head.
This technique is one of the Xia family's inherited skills, designed specifically for enslaving demonic beasts. Of course, the demonic beasts must be willing to use it; if they resist midway, the caster will suffer a backlash.
This technique can at most enslave a second-tier high-grade demon beast, but if Xia Yuhui wants to enslave a second-tier demon beast, he still needs to prepare some items.
Of course, with his current powerful divine sense, he wouldn't need to do that when facing this first-tier demonic beast.
The little wolf demon felt something foreign enter its mind and instinctively tried to reject it. However, when it saw Xia Yuhui's cold and stern face, it immediately began to accept it.
In just over ten breaths, Xia Yuhui had completely enslaved the demonic beast. This technique of their Xia family had a long history and was obtained by their ancestor Xia Wenpeng from the Guiyun Sect through some special means. It was one of the true core inheritances of the Guiyun Sect.
This spell can not only control the life and death of monsters, but also punish them in daily life, making it extremely convenient.
The wolf demon also realized that it had been completely enslaved. The bloodlust and madness in its eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by eyes like those of a dead fish, clearly indicating that it had come to terms with reality.
Just then, the others arrived one after another. Daoist Luoyun slowly landed beside Xia Yuhui. Seeing that Xia Yuhui had gotten his wish and obtained a demon beast with extremely high bloodline, he also revealed a smile.
"Young friend Xia, you are truly gifted. Not only do you have two second-tier ghost creatures by your side, but today you have also captured a demon wolf that is about to advance to the second tier."
"Senior, you flatter me. These are merely minor tricks. In terms of true strength, they are nothing more than a few spells. They are hardly worthy of being called elegant." Xia Yuhui bowed to Daoist Luoyun.
The two tacitly agreed not to mention the ownership of the second-tier demonic beast.
"Truly, the younger generation surpasses the older. With you in the Xia family, I'm afraid the Xia family will rise again under your leadership in the future." Seeing this, Daoist Luoyun stroked his beard with satisfaction and praised.
Clearly, he also knew about the Xia family's history, and it's even possible that he was a fellow disciple of the Xia family's ancestor.
"In the future, I will surely lead my Xia family to follow the sect and dedicate myself to its cause." Seeing that the time was right, Xia Yuhui immediately flattered him several times.
This Daoist Luoyun is one of the true high-ranking members of the Guiyun Sect and a beneficiary of its power. Therefore, they are the ones who defend the interests of the Guiyun Sect. Thus, Xia Yuhui's expression of loyalty to Daoist Luoyun is no different from his expression of loyalty to the Guiyun Sect.
While the two were talking, everyone else had already returned to the location.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Daoist Luoyun stopped talking to Xia Yuhui, even though he found it very pleasant to talk to Xia Yuhui.
"Now that everyone is here, let's return quickly. Someone will come to clean up this battlefield later, and each of you will receive 5000 contribution points. As for the monsters you killed, that will also be counted as your own reward."
