On the battlefield, the opportunity vanishes in an instant!

The role of allies truly comes into play at this moment.

When the remaining two Lifebound Swords returned to take Wang Wu and Yuan Bupu's heads, Tiger Vanguard roared and pounced forward, with its two tiger claws shining brightly. Those were at least Celestial Ninth Grade, perhaps even Celestial Eighth Grade Lifebound Demon Soldiers, forcefully blocking one Lifebound Sword.

At the same time, Xiong Shiliu's voice sounded like a thunderclap from directly above.

"Dazed!"

As the voice fell, the second Lifebound Sword suddenly lost its brilliance, as if it lost control, crookedly dropping near Yuan Bupu's head.

Just a little more and Yuan Bupu would have been decapitated!

"Breaking Array!"

At this moment, Niu Xiaocao mooed loudly, and Hu Zhenbai on its back did something to Niu Xiaocao. The entire body was enveloped in a layer of pink mist, its eyes turned red, and it charged forward like a train racing at 300 kilometers per hour, crashing directly into the array set up by the Human Race Cultivators in the mountain hollow.

Boom!

After the loud noise, Niu Xiaocao was sent flying and landed heavily, uncertain of its survival. The array was unexpectedly broken.

Hu Zhenbai, however, floated out ahead like a ghost, a pink peach blossom mist rising, followed by a scream.

But in the next second, Hu Zhenbai screamed, flying out covered in blood. Two figures flashed inside, fleeing left and right, but before escaping far, they were ambushed by Leopard Big Head and Wolf Bu'er and killed on the spot!

At this time, Old Niu, bringing Little Wild Boar, rushed to the battlefield, quickly treating and bandaging Yuan Bupu.

Little Wild Boar timidly hid behind Wang Wu, "Fourth Brother, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, it's over, we won." Wang Wu said calmly, the terrifying penetrating wound on his body nearly healed. Level 12 Self-Healing is that powerful.

Besides, he had collected that Sword as his trophy.

Unless Xiong Shiliu or Tiger Vanguard were willing to exchange better trophies.

"Didn't expect high-tier battles to be so brutal, I didn't even see everything clearly, and it was over with a crash." Little Wild Boar lamented, but Wang Wu felt the same.

There were only three Human Race Cultivators on the opposite side, but their advantage was extraordinary, responding quickly, with formidable methods.

First, using paper cranes to patrol the surroundings, equivalent to invisible drones for pinpoint reconnaissance.

Release the Mysterious Palace Lantern, like radar illumination, locking on enemy key units, then the Temporary Sword Array akin to a missile, pinpoint elimination.

If Xiong Shiliu had really been eliminated in that wave, they would most likely have turned the tide.

Because aside from Tiger Vanguard, no one could withstand the slaughter of the second Lifebound Sword!

Of course, without Wang Wu, Yuan Bupu would be dead for sure, and even Xiong Shiliu couldn't simultaneously subdue two Human Race Cultivators, still facing the slaughter of the third Lifebound Sword.

However, fortunately, the two Monster Squads merged, or a single squad simply wouldn't suffice.

Whether it was Hu Zhenbai's central command using poison mist for close combat with a Human Race Cultivator, or Leopard Big Head and Wolf Bu'er's flanking slay, they were indispensable.

Even Niu Xiaocao's Breaking Array and Old Niu's Healing were this important.

The only one unimportant was Little Wild Boar, unless slaughtered for meat!

Tiger Vanguard and Xiong Shiliu personally took charge of cleaning the battlefield, even the three corpses of Human Race Cultivators were handled by them, undoubtedly much more professional, even easily cracking those Storage Belts.

In less than three minutes, the battlefield was cleaned up, then the entire team moved out.

Because such commotion would surely attract the attention of a possible Human Race Hunting Squad or other Demon Race Squads.

It's a precaution not to be overlooked.

Soon, fifty miles away, in another mountain hollow, the Monster Squad temporarily stayed here. Tiger Vanguard erected a Great Banner, seemingly collecting all the monsters' auras within, without dispersing.

Immediately, Hu Zhenbai pulled out a strand of white fur, softly blowing it, watching the fur transform into flying snow, covering the upper area.

"It's done! Everyone quickly heal up, how are Unbreakable Brother's injuries?"

Tiger Vanguard shouted loudly.

"No major issues, thanks to my Second Brother."

Yuan Bupu, though a bit weak, was noticeably fine. This time Old Niu's Healing was exceptionally strong.

"And of course, also thanks to my Fourth Brother for blocking that sword for me, otherwise my life would have ended."

Yuan Bupu forced himself to say more, fearing Wang Wu's credit might be diminished; this time Wang Wu truly saved its life, the previous joke of the Four Heroes of the Western Wilderness now felt like a blessing.

"Indeed, Wang Wu played a very key role in this battle, providing crucial support, especially in saving Unbreakable's life. Wang Wu, I truly don't know how to thank you."

Xiong Shiliu was quite emotional, visibly relieved. This was their Monster Squad's first battle in the Black Forest, truly witnessing the terrifying aspects of Human Race Cultivators.

"It's just unfortunate about Xiong Da, Brother Hu, please accept my condolences."

"No worries, before we set off, we were all prepared for death in battle, it's just a matter of who goes first. Without experiencing life and death, how can one achieve nirvana?" Tiger Vanguard waved his paw, "We won, that's the biggest gain. Shi Liu, I have always respected you, go ahead and distribute the spoils."

"Alright!"

Xiong Shiliu nodded and said seriously, "Everyone, this time we encountered a team of three experienced and powerful Human Race hunters. Based on our previous intelligence, such hunting squads are extremely tricky. In the Black Forest, among all the enemies we faced, they could rank in the top three."

"Their characteristics are few in numbers, minimal noise, come and go without a trace. If they miss their attack, they retreat far away. They are best at surprise assaults and ambushes. In other words, if we were the ones targeted by them first, and not in this face-to-face battle, we would most likely have suffered total annihilation."

"Therefore, we must learn from this and do better reconnaissance and coordination in the future."

"As for the distribution, we will follow the Black Forest's longstanding rules."

"First, Xiong Da's body, along with the bodies of the three Human Race cultivators, were left untouched to be sacrificed to Grandpa Tree. The necessary respect and reverence for the Black Forest must not be lacking, nor violated."

"Secondly, the most precious spoils are the three storage belts. According to priority rules, the top three contributors in this battle can obtain them."

"I believe Tiger Vanguard, Yuan Bupu, and myself are the top three. Xiong Wu ranks fourth, Hu Zhenbai fifth, Leopard Big Head, Wolf Bu'er sixth and seventh, Niu Xiaocao eighth, Ying Baiyu ninth, and Niu Huanxi tenth. Is there any issue with this order?"

All the demons nodded in agreement, including Wang Wu, who also agreed. Although he blocked a Lifebound Sword and managed to control it, he didn't actually slay it.

"Great! I have no problem with it, but I already have two storage belts, so I'll give this one to exchange with Younger Brother Xiong Wu." Tiger Vanguard shouted in a very bold manner.

"But I can't use it either, so I'll exchange it with Bu'er."

At that moment, Xiong Shiliu gave the storage belt to Wolf Bu'er, and Tiger Vanguard presented one to Wang Wu.

Wang Wu naturally took out the complete sword and handed it back, not wanting to break the rules.

However, Tiger Vanguard generously pushed it back.

"Younger Brother Xiong, I apologize for any offense in my words earlier, don't take it to heart. This is my little token of goodwill; though you are not a direct blood relative of the Ancient Bear King, surviving and turning the tide at a crucial moment is proof enough."

This Tiger Demon was unexpectedly nice and agreeable.

Wang Wu modestly declined a bit, then accepted it.

Next, Xiong Shiliu distributed various spoils such as Spirit Pills and Talismans, according to contributions. While it might not be 100% fair, it was relatively fair.

Wang Wu accumulated one jar of Eighth-Grade Spirit Wine, three jars of Ninth-Grade Spirit Wine, one Eighth-Grade Spirit Fruit, three Ninth-Grade Spirit Fruits, one Thunder Talisman, one Swift Movement Talisman, one Invisibility Talisman, one Unknown Spirit Pill, a pair of shoes, one handkerchief, a hairpin, a sock resistant to water and fire, three bowls of meat porridge, and fifty pounds of Ninth-Grade dried meat...

He felt quite content.

It had a bit of a "redistributing wealth" feel.

Fortunately, there was that storage belt; otherwise, it would have been difficult to manage.

Worth mentioning is that this storage belt is an exquisite treasure; wrapped around the waist, it lengthens automatically, while in the hand it becomes a small burlap bag, and on the back, it turns into a backpack, nearly matching the "Hundred-Change Ruyi."

Wang Wu finally decided to wrap this storage belt around the right forepaw wrist, simple and convenient, and it looked safe.

To open or close it, a little Spiritual Qi needs to be injected; there's no incantation, storage belts once cracked seem to all behave this way. With about ten cubic meters of space inside, it's not large, but sufficient.

After the distribution, because both Tiger Vanguard and Yuan Bupu needed time to heal and recover, Xiong Shiliu decided to stay here for three days, during which Ying Baiyu was responsible for keeping watch.

"However, there is another task, which is to search the surrounding areas. We need to understand the area dynamics before and after this encounter. This cannot be solved by simply setting up a sentry. Bu'er, Xiong Wu, one of you has the Wolf's Glance Talent, and the other possesses a high Hibernation Concealment Talent, so this task is yours."

Xiong Shiliu spoke seriously, making it difficult for Wang Wu to refuse. What's crucial is that this foster father's generosity was evident as soon as he gave each of them an Eighth-Grade Ginseng Vitality Pill.

So, this task had to be done.

Wang Wu almost shouted out for the foster father to rest assured.

There was no need to prepare; he followed Wolf Bu'er and slipped away, simply following wherever Wolf Bu'er went.

Wolf Bu'er said nothing; its fur was a special silvery-gray, naturally conferring a sense of concealment in the icy and snowy landscape. Moreover, its steps were light, practically stepping on snow without leaving traces.

In contrast, Wang Wu couldn't achieve this, leaving traces wherever he went.

Fortunately, behind them, Ying Baiyu was responsible for escorting and covering the rear. This Ancient Blood Demon Race from the domain of Mad Tiger King of Heavenly Dao Mountain wasn't weak either, lightly flapping its wings as it unleashed interconnected Wind Blades, slicing the accumulated snow into tiny pieces, then flattening it with a gust of wind. Oh boy, it felt completely natural.

Wang Wu almost doubted if he had ever been there.

Thus, they were escorted all the way to a mountaintop thirty miles from the campsite where Wolf Bu'er finally stopped.

"Xiong Wu, you stay here in hibernation; the view here is broad, and you'll be able to notice any developments early. This is my Lifebound Wolf Hair, take it, and with it, we can contact each other within a certain range."

"Exactly, Sister Bu'er has chosen a great spot. Xiong Wu, this is my Lifebound Eagle Feather, with it, you can contact me anytime, but remember to return it after completing the task."

Ying Baiyu even threw a flirtatious glance at Wang Wu.

Wow!

It seems that perhaps, maybe, by the Sixth Grade, demons can already transform quite well into human forms, certainly provoking some imaginative thoughts in Wang Wu for a moment...
