The two women were surrounded by ice-blue and water-blue soul light. The oppressive aura brought by the two top-level martial souls, the Ice Phoenix and the Azure Wave Dragon, made Loran and Sai Dong subconsciously take two steps back to avoid the sharp edge.
At this moment, Shui Yue'er looked at Mu Ci and spoke, her tone filled with barely suppressed anger.
"Brother-in-law, what kind of soul beasts are they? Yue'er must teach them a good lesson and let them know what they should and shouldn't do."
Without the blood of several soul beasts, it would be impossible to extinguish the raging fire in Shui Yue'er's heart.
Just a little bit more! So close!
What a pity! What a real shame!
After helping Shui Bing'er obtain her soul ring, they will return to Tianshui Academy for training. Who knows when they will have another chance like this?
How could Shuiyue not be angry?
Shui Bing'er, standing to the side, felt a sense of unease seeing her best friend's angry expression.
Shui Yue'er is usually gentle and kind, and she always acts like the younger sister in front of the other girls. Why is she showing signs of leaning towards Huo Wu now?
However, Shui Bing'er only found it strange for a moment and did not think about it further.
Perhaps Shuiyue'er sympathizes with the victims' plight.
Mu Ci also nodded to the two women who were walking over.
"Nothing was found. There were no traces of any soul beasts within my coverage area, only some footprints left by patrolling soldiers."
It should be noted that the normal perception radius of the Wood Compassion Domain can now reach two kilometers, yet even with such a large area, there is still no trace of any soul beasts.
If all of this were done by Star Luo soldiers, it would be fine; obedience to orders is a basic quality of soldiers.
But this was done by a bloodthirsty, primitive spirit beast; how could it not be shocking?
Mu Ci's answer made Shui Bing'er frown, clearly indicating that she knew the scope of her lover's investigation.
"Brother Mu Ci, in that case, should we go out and take a look?"
But as soon as Shui Bing'er finished speaking, Mu Ci suddenly turned his head and looked into the distance into the night.
"I know what kind of spirit beast did this."
Mu Ci's words gave the four people present a jolt, especially the Lord of Loran and Bishop Saidong.
After more than a month of being tormented by these soul beasts, I can finally find out what kind of beasts could do such a thing.
At this moment, Lord Loran was no longer afraid or troubled by the offense he had just committed, and hurriedly asked Mu Ci for an answer.
"My lord, what kind of spirit beast is it?"
Mu Ci looked into the distance with a gloomy expression, clearly disgusted by the discovered soul beast. After being questioned by City Lord Loran, he spoke coldly.
"Wolf bandits!"
"Wolf Thief! x4"
Mu Ci's answer surprised the four of them, who all exclaimed in surprise.
"How is this possible? Aren't Gale Wolves usually found in the central regions of the continent? This place is right at the edge of the Frozen Forest, how could there be wolf bandits here?"
Shui Bing'er found it hard to believe that wolf bandits would appear in such a cold place; it was quite a shock to her common sense.
"They are not wolf bandits born from Gale Wolves, but rather frost wolf bandits born from a variant of Gale Wolves from other regions, specifically frost wolf bandits born from Frostwind Wolves."
Shui Bing'er was somewhat surprised, as she had never heard of the Frost Wolf Bandits before, so she asked Mu Ci.
"Frostwind Demon Wolf? Frost Wolf Bandit? So there are other variants of wolf bandits? Why have I never heard of them before? Even the teachers at the academy haven't mentioned them."
Mu Ci was not surprised by Shui Bing'er's doubts and began to explain.
"Of course, there are other variants of the Gale Wolf, because the wind attribute itself is very easy to be influenced by other attributes. The Gale Wolf will also be different in different places."
"For example, what you see here is a Frostwind Wolf, but if you go to the Southern Volcanic Cluster, you might encounter a Flamewind Wolf."
"However, regardless of their type, all the Dire Wolves will inherit one of the most disgusting characteristics of the Gale Dire Wolves."
As for what those characteristics were, Mu Ci didn't say it outright, but everyone present understood what that part was.
What everyone in Douluo Continent finds most repulsive about the Gale Wolf is its unparalleled lewdness; it frequently attacks human villages and passing merchants.
The males are usually killed on the spot and eaten, while the females suffer a much worse fate, being taken back to the lair by the more intelligent Gale Wolves for reproduction.
The combination of the two results in an even more disgusting wolf bandit!
These wolf bandits resemble upright-walking wolves, have fully inherited the Gale Wolf's ability to manipulate wind, and possess intelligence comparable to humans, making them extremely difficult to deal with.
In the central part of the continent, these wolf bandits are a key target. Once the local garrison or the Spirit Hall personnel discover them, they need to join forces immediately to wipe them out and prevent future troubles.
"As for why the academy teachers only introduced the Gale Wolf and its derivative wolf bandits to you, and not the other wolves, it's because the Frost Wolf disappeared without a trace hundreds of years ago."
"In the many years since then, no Soul Master has encountered the Frostwind Demon Wolf again. However, there are still some scattered remnants of the Flamewind Demon Wolf in some corners of the south, but they are extremely rare."
"Only the Gale Wolves, because they are close to the Star Dou Great Forest, have a larger population."
Upon hearing Mu Ci's detailed explanation, the four people present nodded as if they had suddenly understood.
While they were chatting, the four of them could hear the rustling sound of wolves running in the darkness.
A faint, emerald-green light flickered in the darkness, and the silvery-white fur reflected glitter under the torchlight on the city wall.
A rough count revealed that there were no fewer than two hundred Frostwind Wolves surrounding the city, and some of them were even hiding in the shadows, not revealing their forms.
This discovery terrified the soldiers guarding the city walls, and fear immediately spread throughout the surrounding area.
This is not only true for ordinary soldiers, but also for recruited Soul Masters and Great Soul Masters.
These are just minor Soul Masters from a border city; you can only ask them to team up and fight one or two hundred-year-old Soul Beasts.
However, to fight these hundreds of Frostwind Wolves head-on would be a pipe dream, and they would be easily defeated.
Mu Ci's expression darkened as he sensed the number of Frostwind Demon Wolf packs attacking the city within his domain.
"Three wolf bandits around ten thousand years old, two demon wolves around ten thousand years old, dozens of demon wolves around a thousand years old plus wolf bandits, plus some demon wolves around a hundred years old."
"There are 357 in total. How long have they been hiding from the Frostwind Demon Wolf pack?"
"Even the Gale Wolves rarely see something of this scale. You can only imagine how many people have been killed before."
Chapter 112 The killing begins
Hearing the numbers from Mu Ci's mouth, the faces of Lord Loran and Bishop Sai Dong turned even paler, and cold sweat involuntarily trickled down their temples and dripped to the ground.
The brutality of the wolf bandits is known throughout the continent. If the city were to fall today, countless people would be slaughtered and countless women would be abducted.
Just when the two were in despair, they suddenly turned their attention to Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and Mu Ci as if they had found a savior.
It's not like they haven't attended Soul Master academies before. Although they weren't qualified to study at advanced Soul Master academies, their basic knowledge of what a Soul Master should know was by no means lacking.
Bishop Sai Dong of the Martial Soul Hall, in particular, immediately noticed something amiss with the two women's thousand-year soul rings.
The third ring is pure purple, while the fourth ring's black radiance is even more captivating.
How could an ordinary Soul Master possess such a Soul Ring?
Of the three, Mu Ci was clearly the most important, while the two women were merely his family members.
Thinking back to how Mu Ci had been able to subdue Lord Loran with just her soul pressure at the beginning, hope was instantly rekindled in her heart.
'If this esteemed person had intervened, this tragedy would certainly not have occurred today!'
Seeing that the number of demon wolves in the domain perception had stopped increasing, Mu Ci turned to look at Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.
"Bing'er, Yue'er, now that we've encountered this situation, we can't just stand by and do nothing."
"Your training has always been conducted under the supervision of me and Grandpa Dugu. It's too safe, and at most you can only gain some experience in fighting spirit, but it's difficult to make any substantial progress."
"Originally, I wanted to find an opportunity to settle things with you guys in the Great Soul Arena, but I haven't been able to find a suitable opportunity yet."
"Perfect timing, there's no better time than now. Using wolf bandits is far better than using soul masters in the Soul Arena."
Mu Ci paused for a moment, and seeing that the two women did not show any resistance, she continued speaking.
"I will take care of those few ancient demonic wolves and wolf bandits, as well as some other high-age ones, in advance. The rest will be your training targets."
Seeing that Mu Ci had finished speaking, Shui Yue'er stepped in front of Shui Bing'er, stood on tiptoe, and kissed Mu Ci on the cheek.
After Shuiyue'er finished being intimate with him, the love in her eyes turned back into hatred and murderous intent towards the Frostwind Demon Wolf.
"Don't worry, brother-in-law, I will make sure these wolves know what happens when they offend me."
Mu Ci knew exactly what Shui Yue'er meant, so he reached out and tapped her forehead.
"Alright, but even with me here, you must be careful and not act rashly, understand?"
At this moment, Shui Bing'er also came up, hugged Mu Ci, and said softly.
"I know, brother, you should also be careful."
After the hug, Shui Bing'er glanced at Shui Yue'er beside her out of the corner of her eye, and her unease grew stronger.
Tonight, Shuiyue'er sneaked off without trying to hide it from anyone.
woo-
The mournful howls of wolves echoed through the silent night, waking countless people in the city.
Seeing this, Mu Ci felt there was no need to wait any longer. Two golden antlers suddenly sprouted from his forehead, and a thunderous sound instantly resounded in the sky.
One, two, three! Countless golden lightning bolts began to intertwine into a net, tearing through the sky and shattering the boundless darkness at the same time.
With the help of the lightning in the sky, everyone could see more clearly the Frostwind Wolves that were constantly roaming below the city walls.
Its silvery-white fur shimmered with a metallic sheen, its gleaming white canines were like sharp blades, and its eerie green pupils gleamed with greed and bloodlust.
The sight of hundreds of wolf eyes caused the defenders and soul masters on the city wall to tremble with fear, their fighting spirit and morale crumbling in an instant.
If even one person were to flee now, the rest would surely follow suit, abandoning their armor and weapons.
After giving instructions to Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, Mu Ci leaped directly to the top of the city wall, taking in the entire demon wolf clan.
The Demon-Slaying Golden Lightning in his hand rapidly coalesced into a dazzling golden spear, piercing through the air as lightning danced across its surface.
Locking onto the target with his domain, a cold glint flashed in Mu Ci's eyes, and his golden spear shot out like lightning, heading straight for the location of those ancient wolf bandits.
Immediately afterwards, several more identical golden spears flew from Mu Ci's hand, aimed at the other demon wolves that were directing the wolf pack's actions.
As the golden spear pierced the air, golden lightning also struck from the sky, instantly turning more than a dozen Frostwind Demon Wolves, each over five thousand years old, into dust.
