Chapter 241: 241: Might be a Great Opportunity

“Now you understand the dangers of the world, right?”

“Before, we were always going after others, now we’re the ones being targeted, what are your thoughts on this?”

Jiang Xiaobai said with a faint smile.

Scratching his head, AnRan responded: “We need to be careful with anything we do.”

“That’s right, these thoughts show that being with me has somewhat elevated you. After going back, you can give your father an answer; he would be happy seeing your growth.”

Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile, he had to admit, AnRan’s growth was significant.

Without paying further attention to AnRan, he collected the storage ring from the corpse on the ground. Upon opening it, he found, to his surprise, fifteen Frenzy Demon Stones. Including the one lying on the ground – there were sixteen stones!

With this, they held forty-three Frenzy Demon Stones. Giving Xiao Yuwei twenty left them with twenty-three!

This way, they could reach the fifth secret realm, but of course, one could never have too many Frenzy Demon Stones. Based on AnRan’s knowledge, the Mad Demon Secret Land held more than just this opportunity.

“Roar!”

Just as they were excited about securing so many Frenzy Demon Stones, a roar sounded, and Jiang Xiaobai instantly pushed AnRan away.

Immediately, something akin to a dog rushed between them, carrying a revolting stench along with it.

“What the heck, another sneak attack?”

AnRan roared in anger towards the demon beast, and under the faint light, he stared at the silhouette glowing with a dark crimson luminescence.

It looked like a dog, but sharp spines covered its back, and its mouth was full of fierce teeth.

The aura it emitted suggested it was around the final stages of the Yuan Infant, but its strength was definitely on par with a mid-stage Transcendence cultivator!

“This is one of the dangerous creatures from this place.”

Jiang Xiaobai narrowed his eyes, gripping the hilt of his sword tightly.

After wandering around here for so long. This was his first encounter with a different breed of dangerous creature from this area, let’s call it a Madness Hound.

This Madness Hound was extremely formidable. Despite only emitting a late-stage Yuan Infant aura, Jiang Xiaobai quickly deduced that its true strength was sufficient to combat a Transcendence cultivator at mid-stage.

“Kill it, let’s see if we can get something else out of it.”

Jiang Xiaobai gave a cold snort, and with a forward thrust of his sword, he attacked. AnRan, filled with wrath, relentlessly slammed his staff towards the Madness Hound.

Under their offensive, the Madness Hound was soon defeated.

While battling, Jiang Xiaobai discovered that not only was the Madness Hound powerful – its attacks were also exceptionally strong; its mouth filled with sharp teeth was an ideal weapon for killing.

It was also swift, making it challenging for a single mid-stage Transcendence cultivator to confront.

After killing the Madness Hound, Jiang Xiaobai quickly crouched and began investigating the corpse. He discovered a black smoke emitting from the body of the Madness Hound, smelling like the miasma typical of the area.

As the black smoke dissipated, the body of the Madness Hound also gradually disintegrated and disappeared within a minute. Nothing else was left behind, and Jiang Xiaobai didn’t find anything valuable either.

“What a waste, let’s go,” Jiang Xiaobai shook his head.

Just as they stood up, wolf howls came from every direction, and from the darkness, dozens of crimson pairs of eyes targeted them.

Jiang Xiaobai was immediately rendered speechless.

“Holy shit, there are so many!”

“Why are you standing there, AnRan? We’ve got to run!”

Without a second to waste, Jiang Xiaobai pulled AnRan and started running, the hounds hot on their heels.

Fortunately, they ran faster than the pack of Madness Hounds and managed to outrun them quite swiftly.

As they sat on the ground, Jiang Xiaobai was panting heavily. Using the glowing vegetation nearby for light, he took a look around. After making sure there was no danger, he finally exhaled in relief.

Now he understood what the real danger of this place was.

It was easy to handle one Madness Hound, but should they encounter a whole pack, it would be a death sentence.

The group of Madness Hounds that they had just escaped from consisted of thirty to forty members at the very least, and all were around the stage of late Yuan Infant. If surrounded by such a group, they would undoubtedly meet their end.

And after that harrowing escape, they had used up too much vitality. The pair of them didn’t dare wander around, fearing they would run into the hounds, they sat and began absorbing the premium quality Spiritual Stones.

After a little over ten minutes, Jiang Xiaobai finally normalized his breathing. Waiting with AnRan for some more time, they cautiously moved towards their earlier location.

They were joshing around- they hadn’t yet retrieved the Frenzy Demon Stone they’d left behind as bait. Although only one, it was still very important.

Fortunately, as they approached, the pack of Madness Hounds was gone, but the problem was that the corpses and the Frenzy Demon Stone they had left behind had disappeared as well!

“Boss, really? Even the Madness Hounds wanted the Frenzy Demon Stones?” AnRan looked at the empty ground, feeling a little confused.

What did the Madness Hounds need them for?

Do they eat them to enhance their powers or what?

However, Jiang Xiaobai merely narrowed his eyes, and soon, a smile appeared on his face.

“AnRan, I’ve found a great opportunity to get rich!”

“What?”

“The pack of Madness Hounds!”

Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly said: “There’s no way these hounds could have used up the Frenzy Demon Stones so quickly. Regardless of what they need them for, there must be a leader to do resource allocation. It’s a characteristic all group-living creatures possess!”

“So I deduce that these Madness Hounds go out to search for Frenzy Demon Stones, bring them back to their lair and hoard them, waiting for resource allocation.”

Listening to Jiang Xiaobai’s analysis, AnRan’s eyes widened.

It made sense.

However…

“Boss, as you said, they’d take it back to the place where the Madness Hounds congregate. That place is undoubtedly full of them; the two of us wouldn’t even be enough to fill the gaps in their teeth,” AnRan blurted out.

Jiang Xiaobai nodded seriously, “Quite so, but I think you might be able to last a few more bites.”

“Boss, what do you mean? I’m your follower, your close follower!”

“Haha, just messing with you, I’m well aware of the risks. But one has to take risk to seize opportunities. There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world. It won’t hurt to take a look,” Jiang Xiaobai said with a chuckle.

He really wanted to take a look. If the conditions were as he had analyzed, then it’d be an excellent opportunity for them!

The pack of Madness Hounds surely had plenty of Frenzy Demon Stones. After all, they were local creatures.

Seeing Jiang Xiaobai’s determined face, AnRan knew that he couldn’t stop him. So, he stayed silent.

Afterwards, they started to follow the traces on the ground and track down the pack of Madness Hounds. Within an hour, they successfully located the pack they’d encountered earlier.

From a distance, they saw hounds carrying bodies of their own kind as well as those of humans while they passed the glowing areas. The Frenzy Demon Stones were also held hanging in their mouths.

Upon careful observation, they discovered that this very pack had five Frenzy Demon Stones!
