14 Chapter 11: My Life is Over! [4000 words]_2

Lu Fei suspected that the corpse could be of great value, even more than he had previously imagined.

But if things continued this way...

Staring at the vast deep pool in front of him, Lu Fei thought carefully then shook his head, "This is too dangerous..."

But if they didn't venture down...

Under the gaze of the Crow Demon and the Pig Demon Red Pi, Lu Fei looked at the pool for a long while before finally saying, "Rushing down blindly is too risky. Let's find some clues around first..."

Hearing Lu Fei's words...

The Crow Demon sighed inwardly. Although he knew that Black Hair was right and venturing down was risky, it was a pity to just abandon the Fish Demon's corpse.

As for Little Pig Demon Red Pi, he agreed with Black Hair's words. Going down now was too dangerous, so he didn't think too much about it.

It would be nice to feast on the corpse of the Fish Demon, but no biggie if they couldn't.

After all, it would be a pleasant surprise if they could.

What the two little demons didn't realize, however, was that they had unknowingly started to look up to Lu Fei over the past few days.

"Red Pi..."

Lu Fei looked at the Little Pig Demon and said, "You go left, and I'll go right..."

Upon hearing this, Red Pi immediately asked, "Which is left?"

Lu Fei was taken aback, but he quickly understood. Even many educated adults can't tell left from right, so it was a bit too much to expect an uneducated, naturally-raised demon to understand the difference.

"Over there!"

Lu Fei immediately indicated with his mouth, "You go that way, and I'll go this way..."

This time, Red Pi understood and nodded.

Lu Fei then looked at the Crow Demon hovering mid-air and said, "Black Hair, stay high above and keep an eye out for any movements..."

Before he could finish his sentence...

"Splash..."

A faint sound of water splashing came from the far corner of the pool near the forest.

The heads of Lu Fei and the two demons turned at once.

However, the distance was quite far, and the overhanging branches blocking the corner made it impossible for them to see clearly.

"Black Hair..."

Looking at the distant location of the noise, Lu Fei immediately spoke in a soft voice, "Fly higher, get closer and see what caused the noise just now?"

"Ok..."

Upon hearing the noise, the Crow Demon perked up, promptly flapped his wings, and flew up towards that corner.

Meanwhile, Lu Fei and the Pig Demon Red Pi stayed still below.

Lu Fei, who was notably white and conspicuous, hunkered down, trying to make himself less noticeable.

The Crow Demon was quick to depart and quicker to return.

Watching the rapidly returning figure of the Crow Demon...

A spark of anticipation arose in Lu Fei's heart.

Upon seeing the excited look in the Crow Demon's eyes as he drew near, Lu Fei's anticipation grew stronger.

Without waiting for Lu Fei to say anything, the Crow Demon swiftly descended and said with great excitement, "Black Hair, I saw it, I saw a Prawn Demon dragging a body to hide on the bank of that corner..."

"Are you sure you didn't see wrong?"

Upon seeing the excited look on the Crow Demon's face, Lu Fei felt a surge of joy, but he still asked.

Faced with Black Hair's question, the Crow Demon immediately replied, "I am certain!"

"That corpse is the very Fish Demon that attacked me during the day. I would never mistake it..."

"It has died, with its corpse left there, and there's a Prawn Demon..."

Upon hearing this...

Lu Fei had no further doubts, he looked at his two companions with a serious expression, "It seems we arrived just in time. That body belongs to us, we must retrieve it..."

In response to Lu Fei's words...

The Crow Demon laughed gleefully.

The eyes of Little Pig Demon Red Pi, however, were unwavering.

"But considering if we recklessly approach, we're likely to alert the Prawn Demon. Seeing us, it will surely retreat into the water with the body..."

Lu Fei continued, with a thoughtful gaze at the Crow Demon, he said slowly, "This is the plan, Black Hair, you fly over as you did just now, keep an eye on him..."

"Then, Red Pi and I will sneak over there. If it discovers us and tries to run, you should immediately stop it, you must stop it and buy time for Red Pi and me to get closer..."

Lu Fei turned to the Crow Demon with a serious question, "How does that sound?"

"Can you do it?"

Hearing Lu Fei's plan, the Crow Demon nodded at once, "No problem, as long as you don't ask me to go into the water, I'm not afraid of those creatures in there."

"Good..."

Lu Fei nodded, " Let's not delay, you can go now."

"Alright..."

The Crow Demon flapped his wings and was about to take off.

Lu Fei added, "Be careful, we don't want them to discover you before they discover us."

The Crow Demon snorted lightly but didn't respond. Instead, he gave Lu Fei a confident glance before turning and flying into the sky.

Lu Fei watched as the Crow Demon quickly ascended.

Lu Fei turned to Red Pi, the Little Pig Demon, and said, "It's our turn now..."

"If all goes well, we'll be having more than just one Fish Demon for our late-night snack tonight..we'll have two..."

Presented with Lu Fei's cold humour, Red Pi responded with an amiable chuckle.

After that, he followed Lu Fei towards the distant deep pool.

In the sky, the Crow Demon quickly rushed toward their target.

On the ground, Lu Fei, transformed into a giant white wolf, kept his body low, almost lying on the surface of the shallow water as he slowly approached the target.

Behind him,

Due to physical limitations, Red Pi, the Little Pig Demon, couldn't follow Lu Fei's example. However, he also tried his best to move lightly.

His reddish-brown fur wasn't too obvious at night, and from a distance, he seemed safe.

The night grew deeper.

The shallow beach lay in silence.

The trio of Little Demons continued to creep closer.

At the corner of the deep pool,

In the semi-shallow water area,

The Prawn Demon, known as "White Butt", was slowly savouring the Carp feast in front of him.

It was indeed an excellent day for him.

Unknown to him, some benevolent Immortal had left out this big Carp as he took a stroll outside.

He wouldn't hesitate to say, the two-meter-long Carp corpse in front of him was a newly-formed Demon.

Because he hadn't seen it before.

But no matter, they were meeting under better circumstances now.

To prevent his good brother, the hairy crab, from sharing this served-up feast,

"White Butt", the Prawn Demon, had gone to great lengths to drag this unfortunate Carp Demon, who had just transformed and got stabbed in the eye with a bamboo, onto the shore for his enjoyment.

A light slice with his sharp claws, and he gets a chunk of meat.

"White Butt", the Prawn Demon, chewed non-stop on the muscular Carp meat, relishing every bite.

Just at that moment,

He seemed to have perceived something.

He stood up, peered through the gap in the leaves hanging from the bank, and saw on the nearby shallow beach,

A wild boar, not very big, seemed to be moving towards him.

It was not uncommon for wild animals to appear on the beach at night to look for food. Sometimes he too, tired of river delicacies, would catch some game from the land.

Just as he was about to withdraw his gaze, he noticed that the wild boar stopped when he looked at it. And what was that large mass of white lying on the water surface in front of it?

Without waiting for him to have a better look,

He saw that mass of white leap up, transforming into a Giant White Wolf.

That figure...

"Oh no, it's a Demon!"

"That's a Wolf Demon!"

"White Butt", the Prawn Demon, acted promptly. Seeing the Giant White Wolf rushing towards him, he realised the newcomer wasn't friendly. He immediately dropped his plan to eat anymore, reached for the Carp Demon corpse and dragged it towards the deep pool.

Just then,

"Splash, splash, splash..."

A clump of pitch-black something fell from the sky, breaking the sparse branches overhead and crushed straight onto the Prawn Demon below.

"You dare to steal my fish!"

With immense fury, the Crow Demon swooped down violently, stretched out its claws and struck at the Prawn Demon below.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

The collision of claws and shrimp shell immediately produced a piercing sound.

Having pulled off his surprise attack, the Crow Demon quickly flew high up with a flap of his wings.

"White Butt", the Prawn Demon on the ground, who was shocked by the sudden attack from above, felt a sharp pain on his cheek as well. His body hit the ground under a huge force.

"Damn, that Wolf Demon has a partner..."

At this moment, "White Butt", the Prawn Demon was startled. He decisively abandoned the Carp Demon corpse lying next to him, turned around and ran towards the deep pool not far away.

Just at this moment,

A white shadow quickly enlarged in his eyes.

"Bang..."

The Prawn Demon was abruptly flipped over, flying directly back to the riverbank, and crashing onto the ground.

Feeling his head spinning, with pain surging from all over his body,

"White Butt", the Prawn Demon, struggled to get up. He saw the Giant White Wolf Demon approaching him, and thought in horror, "Oh no, there's no escaping this..."
