The snakes dispersed, fleeing in all directions.
The air was filled with a foul, fishy, and bloody smell.
The Earth Dogs, however, grew fiercer with each kill; as long as they weren't bitten too many times by venomous snakes, they were fine. Relatively speaking, consuming the bodies of venomous snakes could even increase their resistance to poison.
Among them, Dog Fugui was the most ferocious. Although he had just entered the Seventh Rank demon beast category, his abilities had already undergone a qualitative change.
He leaped and bounded, powerful and fierce, with an agile body.
He could pursue giant pythons in the air, his sharp claws easily tearing through the flesh of Fifth Rank demon beasts.
Zhou You strolled leisurely, constantly rushing into the snake groups, using the snake venom on his body to poison and kill the snakes.
This move demonstrated high intelligence.
Although his clothes were completely corroded, it looked a bit unseemly.
But what kind of place was this?
This was the wilderness!
Who cared if you wore clothes or not?
Didn't everyone else not wear clothes?
If fur was a demon beast's clothing, then everyone else also had fur.
And this behavior greatly encouraged the Earth Dogs. In their eyes, the only difference between humans and demon beasts was that humans wore clothes.
If their Dog King didn't wear clothes, wouldn't he be just like them?
There was no longer any barrier between them.
It was as if the moon itself had been stained blood-red, with snake and python corpses everywhere.
By late night, very few of the snake clan, less than half a percent, managed to escape.
In this battle, the Earth Dog Clan also suffered significant losses, with a total of fifty-three Earth Dogs perishing.
Adding to the battle at Peach Mountain, in just a few days, the overall number of Earth Dogs in One-Blade Gorge had sharply decreased by ten percent.
"Woof!"
The pack of dogs howled at the moon, full of vigor.
At their feet, corpses lay everywhere.
"Those who offend my clan shall die!"
Zhou You raised his Sand Dagger in his Right Hand and roared with an uplifted arm.
Accompanying this was an even more ferocious chorus of barks.
Under the moonlight, in the shadows.
A woman lay hidden in the distance, watching the battlefield ahead with a look of terror.
Ever since the situation at One-Blade Gorge was reported back, especially to Ye City, it was as if they had heard a terrible omen.
Coupled with the vivid descriptions from the Rainbow Seven Sisters, it made them feel even more that this matter was no small feat.
Finally, after a unanimous vote, she ventured forth to observe One-Blade Gorge.
She never expected that upon her arrival, she would encounter the vast army from Ten Thousand Snake Cave. She had initially thought the Earth Dog Clan of One-Blade Gorge would be annihilated, but who would have thought the outcome would be like this?
"What the Rainbow Seven Sisters said was true."
The woman suppressed the shock in her heart, "This person's strength is unfathomable; he really might be a Demon Emperor."
An unforgettable impression!
Pray tell, what true human would chase after the snake clan naked?
This was simply too unseemly!
But the other party's expression didn't change, and he didn't worry at all about his 'little brother' being bitten by snakes.
What did this indicate?
It indicated that only demon beasts wouldn't care about such things. If it were a human, they would at least cover themselves with one hand and hold a sword with the other.
The moonlight fell upon that person, his figure tall and straight, his muscles well-proportioned.
The woman swallowed. Her mission was to observe and fully understand the other party's situation.
Only then, when the demon clan attacked next time, could the entrance and exit on Ye City's side better arrange for strong individuals to come and support. Otherwise, once a breakthrough occurred, the next defensive line would have to be established at Fifteenth Ring, or even Fourteenth Ring.
Her only regret was that under the moonlight, she could only make out a general outline of the person's face, unable to see the specific features.
This was truly a pity.
The woman quietly retreated. The canine clan had keen senses of smell, but the battlefield's scent was too strong right now. Once they started cleaning up the battlefield, she would definitely be discovered.
Therefore, she had to retreat as quickly as possible.
Exiting the forest, she stepped onto the road.
The woman took a deep breath, thinking she should run.
But then she pondered, 'Should I take another look?'
After all, such a well-proportioned body wasn't something she could see outside.
Even if others were shameless, she still had her dignity.
She hesitated, but ultimately, the thought that her life was more important made her quicken her pace.
But she hadn't gone far when she saw a person standing in front of her.
"Sigh, I'm even having hallucinations now."
The woman mocked herself helplessly, finding it quite absurd.
When did she become like this?
It was truly a loss of composure.
"Hey."
The man spoke, his Right Hand still on the hilt of his sword.
The woman froze, then her expression changed dramatically. It wasn't a hallucination?
She couldn't help but scrutinize him. Yes, it was that figure, this was the new Dog King.
How could a dog make one so restless and distracted?
Zhou You narrowed his eyes, observing the other party.
She wasn't old, had a baby face, large eyes, and though not tall, she was well-endowed.
"From the very beginning, you were lurking nearby."
Zhou You's tone was calm, "Are you my enemy? Or Old Man's enemy?"
Given the two shadows from before, he had always been wary of those lurking nearby.
The woman's face flushed crimson, "Se-senior, I just… I was just passing by."
"Oh, quite polite. I like polite people."
Zhou You released his Right Hand, inserting the Zhu Xie Sword into the soil, then took out a set of clothes with his Right Hand.
"Don't wear clothes."
The woman quickly called out.
Zhou You paused, "Why?"
The woman hastily said, "Snake venom."
Zhou You looked at his Right Hand; it seemed he had been a bit careless, as the clothes he touched had already begun to sizzle and corrode.
Zhou You dropped the clothes. Now, there was only one set of clothes left in his storage ring. "Name."
"Qi Man."
"Age."
"Eighteen…"
"Hmm?"
"Twenty-five."
"Gender."
"Ah? Fe-female, I guess."
"Sect."
"Baihua Sect."
"Address."
"Hundred Flowers Valley, Mansion No. 28 of the Earth character."
Qi Man swallowed, looking at the man in front of her.
He was so handsome. So this is what a man looks like without clothes.
Truly a sight to behold.
"Hmm."
Zhou You mused, "I've noted you down. If One-Blade Gorge encounters any problems, you'll be the first person I come to settle accounts with."
Qi Man hesitated, "You're not going to eat me?"
Zhou You raised an eyebrow, "Why would I eat you?"
Qi Man said, "Don't demon beasts like to eat people? Besides, I'm so fragrant and so young."
Zhou You was a bit confused. What kind of strange talk was this?
Zhou You took two steps back, preparing to find a place to wash off the residual venom on his body.
Qi Man followed two steps closer, "How about, you just take a couple of bites? Really, I'm delicious."
She rolled up her sleeve, her fair skin gleaming alluringly under the moonlight.
Zhou You's expression subtly changed, and his tone became low, "Don't come near me, or I'll kill you."
Qi Man asked again, "Then after you kill me, will you eat me?"
Zhou You turned and walked away, moving swiftly.
Qi Man anxiously called out, "Hey, hey, hey, don't leave! I'm not afraid of pain!"
