Chapter 5 Let's Dig a Hole
After fully transforming, Xu Zhenfeng's hearing was greatly enhanced. He could hear the shouts and calls coming from all directions, as well as the footsteps in the distance. There were at least twenty or so humans surrounding them.
Xu Zhenfeng was anxious. He and the tiger demon could not rely on this cave to fight against so many human beings. Now they were surrounded and had no way to escape.
Although he was annoyed that the tiger demon had brought so many humans here, now was not the time to blame him.
"Who are these people? Where did you bring them from?"
Xu Zhenfeng asked in a low voice.
The tiger demon pressed against the inner wall of the cave. She had just transformed when she faced the pursuit of the human race. She ran all the way here and finally got a breath of air. She was a little confused for a while.
After waiting for a moment, she answered.
"I suddenly awakened and transformed ahead of time in the Peak Forest near the Great Viet Kingdom. As soon as I finished transforming, I was discovered by them. I don't know who they are, but they chased me all the way here."
"The demon mountain is over there, why are you running here?"
Xu Zhenfeng pointed to the front right side of the cave.
"I was originally running over there, but there were also humans guarding that direction. They surrounded and chased me, so I had no choice but to run over here."
The tiger demon's tone was very humble. Perhaps she felt that Xu Zhenfeng's demonic aura was too strong. That's why she chose to answer honestly under Xu Zhenfeng's repeated questioning in a bad tone.
At this time, many people outside had gathered at the entrance of the cave. One of them suddenly said in surprise, "No, there are two evil spirits here. There is another demon in this cave. Hey, this evil spirit is not right..."
Then everyone else started asking what was wrong with that person?
It was that person again who said in a somewhat solemn voice: "The demonic aura is too strong. There is another demon inside. I'm afraid it's not just a yellow-level demon."
Everyone was silent for a while, and then someone said, "Aren't there only yellow-level monsters hiding in caves and not daring to come out?"
"So what if he's at the Xuan level? We have so many people here. Brother Chen is also a Xuan level expert, and the second brother of the Zhao family is also at the Xuan level. It's just a Xuan level monster and a tiger monster that just transformed. It's nothing to worry about."
"Yes, we have more people, and we have two Xuan-level masters. Brother Chen and Brother Zhao will entangle the Xuan-level monster. The rest of us will kill the tiger monster together. After killing the tiger monster, we can then besiege the Xuan-level monster."
"Brother Yuan is right, let's do this."
There was a lot of noise outside. Inside the cave, the tiger demon was still clinging to the inner wall, looking back and forth at the cave entrance and Xu Zhenfeng with fear in his eyes.
Xu Zhenfeng covered his lower body with one hand as he listened to the people outside discussing how to deal with him and the tiger demon, and forgot about the embarrassment for a moment.
The tiger demon said to Xu Zhenfeng in a humble tone: "Senior, you are at the Xuan level. When the humans come to attack us, please take care of me. If you can save my life, I am willing to follow you and be your slave."
Xu Zhenfeng thought rapidly in his mind. The cave was under the slope. He wondered if he could go down through the cave and dig a hole in the ground towards the Demon Mountain to escape?
After hearing what the tiger demon said, he was stunned for a moment, "Senior? Who are you calling senior?"
The tiger demon's tone became more respectful, "Senior, are you at the Xuan level?"
Xu Zhenfeng said unhappily, "I just transformed just like you. Didn't you see that I just completed the transformation and I'm not even wearing any clothes?"
The tiger demon looked at Xu Zhenfeng in the dark in disbelief. He was indeed naked. At first, she thought that this wolf demon had some indescribable special hobby, so he wandered around in this cave without clothes.
It turns out that this wolf demon is even less experienced than himself? The first magic trick of the demon tribe after transformation is Yui, and he doesn't even know it?
The tiger demon originally still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. If the wolf demon was really at the Xuan level, and he begged him humbly, maybe the wolf demon could escape and even lend a hand to take him along.
Now after hearing Xu Zhenfeng's words, the tiger demon suddenly felt desperate.
"By the way, did you prepare clothes before you transformed?"
Xu Zhenfeng said as he walked towards the inner wall of the cave.
The people outside the cave were still planning how to lure the two monsters out of the cave.
After knowing that there might be a Xuan-level demon in the cave, those who were chasing the tiger demon did not dare to enter the cave easily.
Even if there were two Xuan-level masters present, they would not dare to come in and take the risk easily.
At this time, everyone was discussing how to lure the two monsters out and surround and kill them, or what method they could use to suffocate the two monsters to death in the cave.
Xu Zhenfeng walked to the side of the tiger demon and touched the soil layer on the wall of the cave. Within his reach, there was only mud and no stone.
He tried to dig a few times with his hands, but his hands were filled with the soft soil from the slope.
The tiger demon did not answer Xu Zhenfeng's words, and was too lazy to answer.
She felt that this was a hopeless situation. She didn't expect that the day she transformed would be the day she died. Her heart was filled with anger and despair.
Seeing that the tiger demon didn't answer, Xu Zhenfeng kicked her and said, "Speak."
The tiger demon turned his head angrily and glared at Xu Zhenfeng, "Yui."
As soon as these two words were spoken, Xu Zhenfeng immediately wore a set of black night clothes, the same as the tiger monster's.
Xu Zhenfeng was surprised. "How did this come about? Oh, forget about this for now. Come on, let's dig a hole quickly. This is all soil. Maybe we can dig a tunnel and escape from those humans."
After a period of despair, the savagery in the tiger demon finally emerged. She looked at Xu Zhenfeng with disdain, "We demons must die with dignity. This place has been surrounded by them. The entire Peak Forest is the territory of the human race. Can you dig a hole to the Peak Mountain?"
After saying that, the tiger demon twisted his waist and changed back into a tiger form, ready to rush out of the cave to fight with the people outside.
Xu Zhenfeng hurriedly grabbed the tiger demon's tail.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't go out. The people outside won't dare to come in for a while. Let's dig a hole together. Maybe we can really escape."
The tiger demon was grabbed tightly by the tail by Xu Zhenfeng, and its momentum was interrupted. It almost fell to the ground. It turned around and roared at Xu Zhenfeng, then turned back into human form.
Xu Zhenfeng originally didn't want to care about the life or death of this tiger demon, but now he thought about digging a tunnel to escape. More demons mean more claws. No matter what, he had to prevent this tiger demon from doing anything stupid.
Even if I don't help dig the tunnel, at least I can stop those humans at the entrance of the cave.
After the tiger demon changed back into human form, it angrily shouted at Xu Zhenfeng: "Why are you pulling me? They will attack us soon. Even if we demons die, we will drag a few humans to be buried with us. How far can you dig the hole?"
Xu Zhenfeng was speechless. "Didn't you hear those humans outside still discussing how to lure us out of the cave? That means they don't dare to attack easily. Since the two of us can't beat these humans, if we don't think of a way to escape, are we going to wait here to die?"
The tiger demon looked at Xu Zhenfeng with disdain again, "How could my demon clan produce a demon like you who is so greedy for life and afraid of death? Digging a hole from here to the top of the Peak Mountain? You're so smart."
Xu Zhenfeng was speechless. "Sister, we don't need to dig all the way to the top of Jianfeng Mountain. We just need to dig out the encirclement of these people. Our demons have sharp claws and are fast.
As long as we can dig a tunnel that goes beyond the encirclement, we will run towards the Peak Mountain as fast as we can after we get out. They may not be able to catch up with us. As long as we pass the Peak boundary marker, the human race will definitely not dare to chase us into the demon race’s territory.”
The tiger demon opened his eyes wide and looked at Xu Zhenfeng, "Do you think the humans outside will give us so much time to dig a hole?"
Xu Zhenfeng no longer wasted time persuading her, and waved his hand, "Then you block the entrance to the cave, and I'll dig it. If it doesn't work, I'll die with you."
After saying that, Xu Zhenfeng changed back into wolf form. On his two front paws, eight sharp claws stretched out forward, each about five or six inches long. He began to dig vigorously on the ground inside the cave.
