Chapter 18.

The battle got fiercer and fiercer by the minute as the wolves grew madder and madder, seeing their companions fall one by one under the assault of spirit warriors, and this mad ruckus caused severe injuries to some spirit warriors as time passed the injuries increased on both sides.

Seeing the situation was not good the Spirit Generals and Old-Lin directly used their most potent spirit ability, blowing away the spirit beasts, which although defeated their opponents but also caused a high consumption of their spirit power.

Shadow wolf king got up unsteadily as it bore the brunt of a 6700-year-old purple spirit star of a level 40+ spirit Duke's all-out attack, causing blood to drool out of its mouth, Wolf king looked at its subordinates and knew they can't continue so he Howled with an order of retreat while he looked grudgingly at Old Lin and slowly retreated, while Old Lin just looked at the wolf kings retreating figure not trying to attack since he knew if he attacked now, then the wolf king won't retreat until death, although no one from his group will die he couldn't dare to try since there were still kids in the camp, if someone got unlucky and a wolf got near kids, then consequences will be disastrous so he just it go. In a few minutes, the Wolf King disappeared from his sight, while the wolves on the other side have also escaped.

Although the wolves have retreated they have still left a mess around the camp, with some dead shadow wolf lying around as the smell of the blood diffused into the air and with the sound created by the battle earlier it may attract other spirit beasts in the vicinity to come and attack, but I didn't know why Old Lin didn't order anyone to move and relocate the camp. 'I should ask about it in the morning.'

While I mused the Spirit warriors have gathered together around the lady with a lily spirit, as she started to heal the seriously wounded spirit warriors, while the others talked around the camp as we kids came out from the camp and looked at the surroundings in fear( except for me of course. ). Now that I came I can finally take a clear look at their spirits, although I could turn o the demon eye earlier to see this, at that time I wanted to save my spirit power in case of an emergency.

Now that I can take a look clearly I could see.

Assault system Spirit chief 1 with a butchering knife spirit.

Support system Spirit chief 2 with an orange fruit as a spirit.

Assault System spirit chief 3 with Matchet spirit.

Assault System spirit chief 4 with Steel Fang Tiger spirit.

Agile-attack system spirit chief 5 with a wind spirit cat.

Agile attack system spirit chief 6 with Speed ape spirit.

Control System spirit chief 7 with Poison thread spider spirit.

Support system Spirit chief 8 with lily spirit.

Assault system spirit chief Chen Rong with his Blaze-Lion spirit.

Assault system Spirit General 1 with Iron fist Gorilla spirit.

Control system Spirit General 2 with plant spirit I don't know what it's called but looks that it's poisonous.

Agile attack system Spirit General 3 with Snake type spirit I don't know what it's called.

Assault system Spirit Duke Old Lin with Blood Lion spirit.

Seeing these many different spirits my eyes brightened as the pace of my heart increased, and my hands felt itchy as a sensation to fight blazed through my body, but I knew this is not the right time and at the same time, that I am not their match, So I just curiously looked at them while some of the spirit warriors came forward and placated those timid and scared kids, while I ran to one of the dead shadow wolves, stabbed it few times while activating my Demon eyes but still I didn't find anything, seeing this I was disappointed and continued towards the next one, But there was nothing to gain from all 3 dead spirit beast so I ran back with a disappointed expression.

when I returned everyone looked at me with weird eyes, as Chen Rong came to me and asked.

" What were you doing now?"

I replied to his question since was there nothing to gain from those dead spirit beasts

" I was checking whether these Dead beasts have Spirit bones, but I was disappointed to not find any."

He looked at me with confusion while the eyes of others became weirder when they heard my words. Chen Rong asked me with Confusion.

" what spirit bones? what are you talking about?"

I looked at him with confusion and replied simply.

" The bones that are dropped by spirit beast after they die, which if the spirit warrior absorbs, it can grant the user an extra spirit ability."

He finally got clarity and looked at me and said while shaking his head.

" Oh you are talking about the gaining of extra spirit ability I know that, but what you said is incorrect since it's not granted by spirit bone but is called spirit inheritance which the spirit warrior can gain if lucky during the process of spirit star absorption."

Hearing his words I knew what I thought was wrong since this world is way too different from the one I thought except for the fact of the initial cultivation system. I still have many things to understand, many weird things to hear, many beautiful sceneries to see, many opportunities to gain, many dangerous situations to escape, I really look forward to my next journey.

Hearing the words of Chen Rong others finally dispelled the weirdness in their eyes while I replied to Chen Rong with a look of understanding.

" So that's how it is thanks, Brother Chen."

Seeing me like this he just nodded with a smile and asked me to go back to the tent while the adults had something to talk about.

I quickly nodded and head back to the tent with other kids who were also driven away by the spirit warriors.

Getting inside I laid on my bed, but it's been quite a while and I still couldn't so I perked up my ears and sneaked to the entrance of the tent and tried to hear some words of the spirit warriors outside.

And I could really hear things like.

Old Lin reprimanding the night watcher for how careless they were earlier tonight, to get injured by a few hundred-year spirit beast. He stopped after a few minutes and without stopping he continued to reprimand the others who were seriously injured even though they were totally capable of handling this bunch of spirit beast group. which they defended by saying that they got injured as they tried to stop the shadow wolves from getting near the kid's tent, hearing this he left them with not saying anything but simply apologized while saying good work. After reprimanding he applauded the few Spirit generals and the lady with lily sprit. then he talked about how to proceed tomorrow since he knows that wolf spirit beasts are known to hold grudges so he knows they will definitely attack next time they stay to camp at someplace, as the shadow wolves can definitely track our smell.

Everybody thought of only one thing to get out of this deadlocked situation which is to move for the next whole day without stopping at any place, if we do this we can quickly get out of this forest and enter the jurisdiction of the province if these idiot beasts still try to follow us then that is a dead-end for them as many spirit warriors are standing there on the defense against spirit beast riots. Everyone nodded to this proposal which Old Lin accepted.

The next day I got up early while the same is the case for others since most of them couldn't sleep the whole night thinking if there would be another spirit beast attack. So after a simple breakfast, we departed from this place and headed at a fast pace towards the exit of the forest.

By evening we were already out as we slowed down our pace but continued until we entered the main road heading to the provincial where we finally had our last camping and the other morning we continued on the journey, still heading at a fast pace we reached our destination by the evening.

~~~ Wish you a happy new year guys. : ) ~~~
