With this state, I became more confident about what was to come.
However, I still had one last step to take.
I extended my hand, using my short sword to cut my finger. Blood dripped out, landing on my clothes. I wrapped the clothes and rubbed them vigorously.
Seeing this, Lin Chun asked, "What are you doing?"
"We need to spread the scent, that's how we can attract them..." I said seriously.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chun didn't hesitate to cut his finger and drip his blood onto his clothes, just like I did.
Once the clothes had some messy bloodstains, I pressed my hand onto them, and the Shepherd God Power surged.
The next moment, the clothes turned into dust.
Lin Chun did the same. Then, I divided the cloth fragments into four parts and threw them in four different directions.
Afterward, I used the Shepherd God Power to scatter them.
In an instant, many cloth fragments fell around.
Lin Chun did the same.
Night soon descended.
On this deserted island, the night was extremely quiet, with no sound of wild beasts.
The two of us built a bonfire in the center of the hill, then peacefully ate some grilled meat, waiting for the monsters to come.
Time passed, and the moon had risen halfway into the sky.
We lay on the ground, our ears constantly attuned to the changes around us.
Not long after, a faint sound emerged from the distant forest.
The sound was very light and deliberately slow.
Under normal circumstances, no one would be able to hear such a sound.
Unfortunately, Lin Chun and I were both cultivators!
This sound could not escape our ears.
However, we maintained our previous posture, lying on the ground as if we hadn't noticed anything.
"There are two..." Lin Chun whispered.
"Their builds and strengths are about the same..." I continued, as the sound of their footsteps allowed me to judge their builds.
"Let's each take one..." Lin Chun said.
"Let's not rush..." I replied, as I was still unsure if these two were scouts or if they were the only ones.
The two monsters slowly approached, soon entering the range of our trap.
One monster accidentally stepped on the bark tied to the ground, which then pulled a nearby clay pot.
"Boom!"
An explosion rang out, sounding exceptionally piercing in the silent night.
The two monsters seemed startled but quickly reacted, locking their gaze on us.
Then, they quickened their pace and charged towards us.
Within my perception range, there were no other monsters.
"Let's go directly!" I said.
Hearing this, Lin Chun gripped his sword, and the Shepherd God Power enveloped it, making the entire blade crackle with electricity.
In my hand, I held my short sword, enveloped in flames that momentarily illuminated the surroundings.
Seeing us preparing to counterattack, the two monsters showed no signs of retreat. With our moves, we charged forward.
They exerted their speed to the maximum, far exceeding that of an ordinary person.
Under the moonlight, I could clearly see the condition of the two monsters.
They looked no different from the monster we had encountered before, especially their tails, which appeared incredibly strange.
However, in this situation, there was no room for retreat. We charged directly at them.
Lin Chun took the lead, his long sword, crackling with electricity, slashing down fiercely.
But the monster reacted with great agility. The moment the sword descended, it leaped away and charged at Lin Chun.
As I rushed forward, the Thousand Mile Wilderness spread out, but I didn't attack immediately. Instead, I waited for the monster to attack me.
As expected, when the monster was less than ten meters away, it lunged at me!
The monster's claws, glinting sharply, slashed directly towards my neck.
Just as they were about to touch my neck, I retreated, and simultaneously, my short sword struck out, carrying terrifying flames with impressive momentum.
However, the monster had clearly anticipated my move and dodged to the side.
Before its feet even touched the ground, I had already surged forward.
The short sword was merely a feint; the real killing blow was in my hand.
My palm condensed terrifying flames, mixed with lightning.
The fearsome power struck the monster's body.
The monster let out a scream and was sent flying back dozens of steps, with some scorched marks appearing on its body. However, the matter was not over yet.
The location where it retreated happened to be on top of a large clay pot.
Then, a terrifying explosion followed!
"Boom!"
