Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 832 - 82: Men Are Ruthless, Women Are Even More Ruthless

Upon noticing Ying Wuwang’s actions, Yue Jinghua raised an eyebrow and commanded, "Everyone, be on guard."

The members of the July Mercenary Team, upon hearing this, sprang into action like alerted guard dogs. Compass, Feng Buhui, and Qin Dongting, the three hefty fellows, jumped out with a swoosh.

These fellows were either tall and mighty, or wide and hefty, forming a barrier like three high walls right in front of Ying Wuwang, creating quite a conspicuous sight.

Ying Wuwang was taken aback for a moment, wondering where these three fierce figures came from. He asked sheepishly, "Yue, my little brother, what’s all this?"

These few members of the Human Race were very different from those Ying Wuwang had met before; each of them had eyes filled with killing intent, and an aura that rivaled that of the Demon Clan.

"Brother Ying, just keep an eye on those people; my team, my rules," she said, then lifted Shalman and Qian Luo beside her, moved her body, sprang backward, and distanced herself from Ying Wuwang, clearly indicating he shouldn’t even think about getting close to her.

Ying Wuwang found himself in an awkward position but wasn’t particularly bothered, as his patience with beautiful women was usually good.

His enchanting purple eyes flickered, then slightly adjusted his gaze, focusing on the direction from which the footsteps were coming. Judging by his calm demeanor, it seemed he already knew which magical beasts were approaching.

In a dark, turbulent path of the Sky Witch Ancient Village.

Dust rose, as a group of creatures with ape heads and wolf bodies, covered in sharp spear-like spikes, rushed towards the Four Unlikes Team’s position.

"What the hell is that thing," those magical beasts came with formidable ferocity, numbering no less than fifty to sixty creatures, each having the size of an adult. Their sharp claws and teeth, in the twilight’s dusk, resembled countless sharp blades, gleaming with a chilling shine that suffocated.

"These are Demon Ape Jackals, a burrowing type of Dark Beast. They are bloodthirsty by nature, enjoying dead and decayed flesh and living human livers. They can walk upright like the Human Race and also move swiftly like wolves with their limbs on the ground. Their claws and teeth are poisonous, so be cautious," Ying Wuwang, the Crown Prince of the Emperor Demon Clan, despite indulging in luxuries, was well-informed about magical creatures of the Demon Clan. With just a glance, he identified the origin of this large group of beasts.

"So... many?" The other members of the Four Unlikes Team saw that group of green-eyed beasts, with numbers almost three to four times theirs, and couldn’t help but feel a bit panicked.

"It’s peculiar indeed. Demon Ape Jackals are cave-dwelling beasts and shouldn’t logically appear in relatively flat ancient village areas. There might be an invasion of their caves causing this," Ying Wuwang’s gaze fell onto the distant fog-covered mountain ranges.

Ying Wuwang didn’t make a move since these Demon Ape Jackals were only Sixth and Seventh Rank beasts; the numbers were just a tad overwhelming.

"Quick battle and decisive victory," the foul stench from those beasts made Yue Jinghua and the two women beside her quite uncomfortable. Seeing the several members of the Four Unlikes Team remain inactive, she felt a bit impatient.

As soon as Yue Jinghua finished speaking, Compass, Feng Buhui, and Qin Dongting, without hesitation, surged forward like two unsheathed treasure swords, piercing through the Demon Ape Jackal group with a sound of "chich,"

The three had been secluded in the Shura Sword Formation for a month, ruthlessly trained by the Snake-haired Gorgon, long suppressing their discomfort, storing up intense killing aura. Finally entering the Divine Ruins, they vented all their pent-up grievances on the restless beasts before them.

Among the three, Feng Buhui was the strongest, Qin Dongting and Compass slightly behind. But with one a master of Illusion Technique and the other a "Divine Rune Taker," they recklessly dashed, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere in the beast group, leaving severed limbs all over the ground.

Blood splattered like jewels upon the ground, with Demon Ape Jackals fleeing everywhere, the scene filled with blood and fur.

Within moments, the several dozen Demon Ape Jackals had been wiped out completely.

The other members of the Four Unlikes Team were all greatly changed in expression, amazed by the heavy killing aura. Unexpectedly, the previously inconspicuous members of the July Team turned out to be so formidable.

Ying Wuwang also cast a sidelong glance, understanding Yue Jinghua’s intent to prove herself and the July Team’s strength with this first slaughter. It seemed his little beauty already knew things she shouldn’t have known.

Ying Wuwang invited Yue Jinghua to join him in the Divine Ruins, intending to get close to this delicate flower he had left among the Human Race.

He recalled when he first saw "Little Yue Jinghua" at the age of six or seven, she already revealed her exceptional beauty, stirring his heart in a strange itch, thus planting the Black Manzhu Flower on her.

A decade swiftly passed, and when he remembered the matter during his invasion of the Canglong Continent, wanting to pull the delicate flower into his embrace, he found the flower had already grown into a thorny rose, intoxicating in fragrance but painfully prickly.

However, this was for the better; women like Hu Li who always yielded were rather dull.

Ying Wuwang extended his tongue, lightly licked between his lips, and a dangerous glint flashed in his gaze.

After hacking through the Demon Ape Jackals like chopping watermelon into messy pulp, Qin Dongting and others saw their Merit Points jump to double digits. They swiftly extracted Demon Crystals from those magical beasts. Though these Demon Crystals couldn’t replenish Spiritual Power like Dark Pills, when brought back to Four Symbols City, they could be exchanged for a small amount of Merit Points; even a mosquito’s leg is still meat.

As for the fur of the Demon Ape Jackals, it could have also been exchanged for Merit Points, but unfortunately, the rough men didn’t recognize the value, hacking recklessly, rendering the fur damaged beyond use.

The women appeared calm; unlike the few male members, they hadn’t gone through seclusion and had each completed some tasks at Four Symbols City, accumulating some Merit Points. Allowing the three to accumulate some Merit Points first still seemed sensible; after all, the wealth shouldn’t flow to outsiders.

While the members of the July Team might think so, others didn’t seem to agree.

Except for Ying Wuwang, who didn’t react much, the other members of the Four Unlikes Team, who had previously been too cautious to take action, were dissatisfied after seeing the three divide the Merit Points and Demon Crystals. "You’re too despicable, hand over the Demon Crystals. We agreed to act together, why aren’t you following the rules and wanting to swallow all the Demon Crystals alone?"

Upon hearing this, Shalman’s almond eyes widened, and she crossed her arms, adopting the classic posture of a fierce woman ready to scold loudly, "Who are you calling despicable? When those Demon Ape Jackals charged at us, why didn’t we see you wanting to act together, all hiding like turtles more than turtles? Now you have the audacity to talk about splitting Demon Crystals. If anyone dares to repeat that, don’t blame my Dark Beasts for being impolite."

After she spoke, she waved her hand, and a ring on her hand flashed, summoning a giant snake as thick as a barrel.

The ring in Shalman’s hand was a Beast Taming Ring refined for her by Yue Jinghua, able to store Dark Beasts. All her Dark Beasts, including the Snow Domain Five Herds and others, were housed inside, offsetting her own lack of strength, forcibly making Shalman the team’s second strongest after Yue Jinghua.

The Thunder Snake appeared and wrapped its massive body around a thick ancient tree beside it. With a gentle crack, it snapped, the ancient tree severed halfway.

The members of the Four Unlikes Team who had spoken broke out in a cold sweat, looking at Shalman’s hands adorned with several such Beast Taming Rings, their momentum dropped significantly, and they dared not speak further.

Originally they thought the July Team only had strong male members, that the two delicate female members were merely ornaments. Who knew the women turned out to be fiercer than the men.
