Chapter 998 - 984: Wind and Snow Ability

Not only did this leader Ba’er feel this way, but even other dark beasts in their caravan sensed that blood power, knowing that Su Muyao’s level was absolutely above theirs.

From the conversation, Su Muyao learned that Ba’er and his people resided in the Black Valley Tribe within the Demon Realm.

It’s located in the northernmost area of the Demon Realm.

"The other three Demon Kings have occupied other better places, while we follow our King living at the northernmost Black Snowfield Zone. When the Magic Cold Season arrives, it’s extremely cold, so we must prepare more food."

There are some types of Magic Grass in the Demon Clan, which have miraculous effects, and some witch doctors among the Witch Clan can also concoct medicine to help the beastmen stabilize their realm.

There’s also cloth made from Demon Silk within the Demon Clan, which provides stronger defense.

All these things are used by the Demon Race Beastmen to exchange goods with the outside world.

Of course, Su Muyao wouldn’t ask about these issues directly, as asking directly would make her appear ignorant of the Demon Realm.

She always probes gently for information.

Fortunately, they had no doubts about her, and their attitude towards her was quite respectful, fearing they might neglect her.

"Magic Cold Season?"

"Isn’t it similar to the Snow Season on Cang Beast Continent?"

Ba’er nodded and said: "Yes, but it’s colder than the Snow Season on the Cang Beast Continent, with particularly fierce wind and snow."

"It is said that the Demon Realm wasn’t like this before. Due to issues with the Demon Realm, even after the restart, the terrain had changed, resulting in such cold weather."

"That’s why this time we exchanged not only for goods but also for a lot of Beast Skin."

The exchanged Beast Skin was to help the tribe beastmen keep warm.

"Even though we have rough skins, we still fear such cold weather..."

Su Muyao gathered from their conversation that the terrain of the Demon Realm’s Black Snowfield Zone is rugged, and the wind and snow are fierce. The dark beastmen there build very thick stone houses with deep foundations to survive better.

"Actually, in the forests of the Demon Realm’s Black Ridge Zone, there grows a plant from which clothes most capable of resisting cold can be made. But that is the domain of another Demon Lord, and they are unwilling to sell such clothing to the people of the Black Snowfield."

Su Muyao’s expression changed; it seems there are many rare things in the Demon Realm that she doesn’t know about.

Fortunately, she has plenty of goods in her Spatial Bag, so she doesn’t have to worry about meals when she goes to the Demon Realm.

She listened and exchanged a glance with Jing Chu, both showing a bit solemn expression.

The Demon Realm is more complex than they imagined.

After resting for a night, Ba’er took the caravan to set out the next day.

"Once we pass through this forest, we will enter the Demon Realm’s territory."

After the sun came up, it was easier to travel.

Su Muyao felt that since the caravan took her and Jing Chu along, she shared some dried beast meat for everyone to eat.

It’s all cured, sun-dried jerky, directly chewable, very flavorful.

Everyone ate such tasty jerky and became excited, saying, "We’ve never eaten such tasty dried beast meat."

"So delicious, not only salty but also without a gamey taste."

For convenience, they usually eat raw food, as dark beastmen do not prefer using fire.

They eat raw beast meat simply to fill their stomachs without caring about taste.

Tribe cubs or delicate females might cook the beast meat a bit.

But none tasted as good as these.

Such great taste.

At this moment, they trusted Su Muyao’s esteemed identity even more.

Only a noble female would possess such delightful food.

The system explained: "Host, after the Demon Realm’s restart, many dark beastmen have emerged in the Demon Realm. Their contact with the outside world is limited, adhering to the primitive lifestyle in their memories."

After the system upgrade, much information became known automatically.

"However, the Demon Realm must be very dangerous, host should be cautious."

"But I constantly feel the Demon Realm carries certain opportunities beneficial to you."

After its upgrade, it inherently feels this, so despite the danger, it supports the host’s entry into the Demon Realm.

...

As they crossed the forest and entered the Demon Realm, Su Muyao immediately felt the demon qi there, along with the fierce wind.

The wind was really strong, howling past, carrying demon qi.

Su Muyao noticed no discomfort from the demon qi.

Unbeknownst to herself, the mark on her collarbone glowed faintly.

"Jing Chu, are you okay?"

Su Muyao asked Jing Chu softly, worried he might not adapt to the Demon Realm’s environment.

"I’m fine, I’m okay."

Su Muyao felt relieved seeing his normal expression.

When their caravan passed a canyon, they were suddenly ambushed; dozens of dark beastmen shot arrows at them from above the canyon.

Ba’er led others to retaliate quickly, but a dense rain of arrows with demon qi swiftly came.

The speed was extremely rapid.

Su Muyao and Jing Chu quickly acted, blocking all these arrows.

The opponent not only shot arrows but also dark beastmen leaped out, rushing at them.

"Snatch their goods."

In the confrontation, someone from the caravan exclaimed, "It’s Mola’s subordinates."

Someone from the other side sneered: "Indeed, blame your Demon Lord for being unwise, daring to refuse our Demon Lord, courting death."

"Today, not only must you leave these supplies, but you must also leave your lives."

This was retaliation, also meant to set authority for their Demon Lord.

In the harsh environment of the Demon Realm, Su Muyao and Jing Chu’s strengths were suppressed.

Conversely, the dark beastmen’s attacks were vicious.

Su Muyao’s moves were swift, fierce, and accurate.

She didn’t let those dark beastmen approach, defending against arrows while fighting.

However, the opponent’s numbers were too many, evidently intending for Ba’er and his group not to return.

Moreover, Ba’er’s group brought many supplies this time, not only the caravan’s goods but also full Spatial Bags at their waists.

These provisions were enough for several tribes for an entire Magic Cold Season.

Ba’er’s group was composed of strong dark beasts from the Magic Snowfield territory, otherwise they wouldn’t dare to form a caravan.

But they were only over twenty people; no matter how powerful, they couldn’t handle so many dark beastmen.

During this time, two dark beastmen on the caravan’s perimeter were suddenly attacked and injured.

Jing Chu’s realm was suppressed by demon qi, blocking his full strength. He forcibly mustered his power and killed all the dark beastmen attempting to ambush in the dark.

Yet, after one group was dealt with, another emerged, causing Jing Chu’s energy to surge uncontrollably.

Even so, he still kept Su Muyao firmly protected.

Su Muyao also felt increasingly uncomfortable in her heart after fighting for so long.

The system spoke: "Host, there are still many dark beastmen in the shadows, too many, what to do now."

"Moreover, host, while you have Xie Guixue’s Pure Blood Dark Beastman’s contract mark, which allows you normal living in the Demon Realm, it can’t enable long-term use of superpowers."

Continuous fighting is exhausting for the host.

These dark beastmen from the Demon Realm use deceitful, hard-to-defend techniques.

The host’s superpowers are also suppressed by demon qi.

Su Muyao looked at Ba’er and asked, "Isn’t there a team to assist us?"

Ba’er looked grim, his face pale and said: "They must have been dealt with, our route was exposed."

"There must have been a traitor."

That’s why so many of Mola’s dark beastmen came.

With a do-or-die stance.

Ba’er said in a low voice: "No matter what, we must protect these supplies to let the clan survive."

They valued their supplies above all else.

With their fighting power depleted, another round of magic arrows shot from the shadows, dense enough to pierce them like a sieve.

In the Demon Realm, Su Muyao couldn’t use Secret Technique to forcibly increase her strength.

The Green Lotus Sword seemed suppressed by demon qi too.

Yet, she gritted her teeth, ready to slap her chest area, and planned to use the Blood Sacrifice Technique to boost her power.

Since she followed the caravan into the Demon Realm, she couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.

At the critical moment, suddenly from the Heaven came the sound of wind and snow.

The wind and snow swept up, blowing away the dark demon qi within the canyon, followed by snowflakes starting to fall from the sky.

As snowflakes descended through the air, they seemed to purify a part of the demon qi.

The suppression from demon qi lightened slightly, making Su Muyao’s heart much more comfortable.

At the same time, the dense arrows shooting towards them seem to have hit a pause button, suddenly coming to a halt.

Not only that, even those dark beastmen fighting with Ba’er and his group were unable to move.

"This... is the Wind and Snow Ability of that Demon Lord."

"Impossible, isn’t he secluded for heart demon tribulation?"

Everyone was shocked, speaking in fearful trembling tones.
