Demon King's Repayment - chapter 17

Yuan Xiang stretched out her hand and gently touched the little wolf’s head and found that the ears with fine hairs trembled slightly in the palm of her hand.

Then the young wolf opened his eyes and almost at the same time tried to stand up on his front legs.

A pair of eyes lit up among the leaves behind the dark forest, accompanied by the whispering beasts. In the darkness, various little demons in the jungle gathered. They seemed to be coveting the flesh and blood of the injured young wolf, but perhaps they were afraid of something and hesitated to come out.

The young wolf was hurt too badly. He arched his back and made a low sound. His forefoot trembled as he tried his best to support his body. In the end, he was unable to continue and collapsed to the ground after a while. The demons in the dark got excited immediately.

It wasn’t suitable to stay there for a long time, but she knew that as long as she left the young wolf, he would be torn to pieces by the demons lurking around.

She looked at the wolf demon who kept his eyes on the ground and got a little sad for him. He was still so young, but he could only wait to die there. Of course, the lifespan of demons was different from that of human beings. Some cubs that looked very small may actually have been through hundreds of springs and autumns.

She could take him back, cure him, make him her apostle and keep him in the yard.

Yuan Xiang had the character to act as soon as she thought of it. She cleared the contents in her back basket and carefully picked up the injured wolf and put him in. The immature wolf was so thin that he could be put in the basket. The demons in the dark surroundings became agitated and let out a low growl after another.

“Human, this is not something you should care about.”

“Do you know what you took away?”

Yuan Xiang ignored them and walked out. She could perceive that the little sprites hiding in the darkness were all ones with low Qi. If she didn’t leave right away, it would be a bit troublesome if the strong sprites that passed by got attracted.

A demon that looked like a porcupine couldn’t bear it and jumped out from the hiding place. Two sharp long teeth flashed with cold light and went straight to Yuan Xiang.

Yuan Xiang turned around, offering a yellow talisman. The rune drawn by cinnabar broke away from the talisman paper in the air and turned into a shining fire phoenix. The fire phoenix let out a clear cry and opened its mouth to spout a large flame to that huge demon. The demon howled in a panic, rolling back and forth on the ground a few times and fled back to the depths of the dense forest with his tail that was still on fire.

The little sprites immediately dispersed. Yuan Xiang had already taken advantage of the chaos and ran out of the Celestial Wolf mountains back to Queqiu Town.

Yuan Xiang walked through the courtyard quickly. The bamboo basket on her back was soaked in blood and was dripping all the way, which was shocking. She carefully untied the bamboo basket and placed it on the floor of the eaves. The little wolf demon curled up inside with his hair in a mess.

On the road, Yuan Xiang had given him emergency treatment and activated the talisman for treating trauma, but it seemed not enough. Yuan Xiang thought for a while, took out the cinnabar and drew a circular spirit gathering array on the wooden floor of the eaves corridor and turned a few fluorescent jade stones from the warehouse to press on the array eyes.

The demon’s self-healing ability was originally very powerful, but now his Qi was thin and it was difficult to provide enough Qi to restore it. The spirit gathering array drawn by Yuan Xiang could slightly gather Qi and it should be helpful to this injured demon.

The pieces of jade were exquisite and shiny of good quality. The pieces of jade were hard to find in the market.

But in the eyes of monks like Yuan Xiang, these stones barely carried a trace of aura, which wasn’t enough to set up an array. Unfortunately, she didn’t have any better materials, so she could only use them to slightly increase the effectiveness of some arrays.

She placed a soft cushion in the center of the gathering formation, carefully carried the bloody little wolf out, placed him on the soft cushion and gently touched him.

There were a lot of poultry in the yard chirping. Once Yuan Xiang brought up the little wolf demon, they collectively silenced, the chickens, ducks and geese drew back into their huts in a panic, clustered together shivering. Even the big black dog, who was happy when he saw people, rushed back to his kennel with his tail clipped in his legs.

Yuan Xiang hadn’t noticed these changes in the yard. She was having a headache about how to deal with the little wolf’s serious injury.

The scars on his body were obviously due to being injured by more than one demon. Wounds of different sizes, scratches and scars caused by various types of spells spread all over his small body. Among them, the wounds on the hind legs and abdomen were particularly serious. The leg bones of the right leg were completely crushed and it looked like it would break at any time.

Such a bloody scene. She couldn’t imagine how such a small young wolf struggled to escape from the fangs and claws of a group of demons and finally dragged his body all the way to flee to the edge of the forest until he was discovered by her.
