But Yu Xiaogang's Soul Skill had a limited number of uses.
In other words, he had to time his entry into the battle precisely.
With that in mind,
Ye Fan tied a piece of cotton cloth to an arrowhead, then lightly struck a flint against a nearby rock, sending out wisps of sparks.
Just like that, he had a makeshift flaming arrow.
At the sight of the flame, Xiao Wu instinctively moved a little farther away.
"Ye Fan, why are you lighting a fire? Gale Demon Wolves aren't afraid of that."
A pack of Gale Demon Wolves would have at least one hundred-year-old leader.
And a hundred-year-old Gale Demon Wolf could already unleash wind blades. A tiny flame like this couldn't do anything to it.
Ye Fan smiled faintly.
He wasn't planning to use this flame against the Gale Demon Wolves.
"Xiao Wu, did you know that animals contain a kind of flammable gas?"
At that, Xiao Wu shook her head blankly.
What on earth was flammable gas?
She understood every word separately, so why did they make no sense together?
But judging by Ye Fan's expression, he didn't seem to be joking.
Humans really did know a lot.
Although she didn't know what it meant, when she put it together with what Ye Fan was holding, even she couldn't fail to catch on.
She stammered, "Y-you aren't planning to...?"
In the Soul Beast Forest, fire-type Soul Beasts were utterly detestable!
One careless moment, and they could destroy a huge swath of forest.
Set a mountain ablaze, and you'd rot in prison for the rest of your days!
She wanted to talk Ye Fan out of it, but he raised a hand in time to stop her.
"You'll find out soon enough."
With that, Ye Fan fixed his attention on the area behind Luo Sanpao and drew his bow.
Those two should be breaking out of the encirclement soon.
"Teacher, what should we do?"
After driving back a Gale Demon Wolf with his sleeve crossbow, Tang San's expression grew solemn.
His supply of hidden weapons wasn't enough to kill every Soul Beast.
Unless he had absolutely no choice, he still intended to let Yu Xiaogang handle everything.
He would conserve his own strength to avoid dying here.
If necessary, he'd let this guy bring up the rear...
Yu Xiaogang heard the worry in Tang San's voice.
"Don't worry, little San. A mere pack of ten-year-old Gale Demon Wolves is beneath my notice."
His gaze held a trace of gravity.
But far more confidence!
Yu Xiaogang braced his wrist with his left hand and aimed his right at Luo Sanpao. The Soul Ring beneath his feet lit up instantly.
"Second Soul Skill-Fart like mist, hypnotize into sleep, Luo Sanpao!"
As Yu Xiaogang's words fell, Luo Sanpao's body began to change before their eyes, just as it had in the cafeteria that day.
The entire pig swelled like a ball and quickly rose into the air.
Seeing this, Xiao Wu hurriedly pulled two carrots from Ye Fan's backpack and plugged her nostrils.
She had no desire to smell those foul farts.
At the sight, the corners of Ye Fan's mouth swiftly lifted.
This was the moment he had been waiting for.
He pulled back his right hand, drawing the bow to its limit.
His target was Luo Sanpao... the Gale Demon Wolf beside him!
On the battlefield, Luo Sanpao was already poised to fire.
In an instant, a vast cloud of mist gushed out.
The Gale Demon Wolves at the front of the battlefield were immediately engulfed and vanished from sight.
But it wasn't over yet.
Yu Xiaogang grabbed Luo Sanpao's front legs and manually adjusted his position, ensuring that the hypnotic fart precisely covered every Gale Demon Wolf.
In the bushes, Ye Fan released his bowstring at just the right moment.
With a whoosh, the flaming arrow flew toward Luo Sanpao!
Time to roast that farting butt!
As the flaming arrow flew, it began to burn fiercely.
It skimmed past Luo Sanpao and struck a Gale Demon Wolf that was circling in place.
Fssst!
The faint sound of a spark catching instantly reached Yu Xiaogang's and Tang San's ears.
"Oh no!"
Tang San shouted and hurriedly tackled Yu Xiaogang to the ground.
Before their terrified eyes, the thick mist around them exploded.
BOOM!!!
Under Ye Fan's manipulation, that cloud of fart exploded in an instant, forming a field of flames.
Wretched screams and howls rose all around them, like ghosts wailing and wolves crying.
Since Luo Sanpao's attack had enveloped the Gale Demon Wolves, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San were largely unharmed, merely a little dizzy and dazed.
Luo Sanpao, however, was in a miserable state.
The instant Yu Xiaogang was tackled, he also let go of Luo Sanpao.
The flames followed the gas straight back to Luo Sanpao's exhaust hole!
"Aooow!!"
Luo Sanpao let out a shriek, and the entire pig flew uncontrollably through the sky as though he had been fitted with a thruster.
The more the burning hurt, the harder Luo Sanpao expelled gas, and the more gas he expelled, the fiercer the flames burned!
Tang San and Yu Xiaogang stared dumbfounded.
What was going on?!
Yu Xiaogang felt as though he'd just screwed Sanpao.
Looking at that exhaust hole gradually turning red, heaven only knew what he would feel when he dismissed his Martial Soul...
Tang San, meanwhile, had seen more.
The instant the flaming arrow flew out, he had activated his Purple Demon Eye and clearly seen the direction it had come from.
Who was it?
But at that moment, neither of them could afford to think about much else.
"Little San, run!"
Yu Xiaogang grabbed Tang San's hand and ran.
They couldn't waste the opening Sanpao had finally created by sacrificing his backside!
Besides, Sanpao's red tail of flame would attract other Soul Beasts!
As he ran, Yu Xiaogang felt a chill at the back of his head, but he couldn't spare it any attention and raced straight toward the dense forest.
There was no rush to recall Luo Sanpao. He could simply dismiss him once the two of them had gotten far enough away.
Seeing this, Ye Fan clicked his tongue regretfully.
Too bad Yu Xiaogang had a buzz cut.
Otherwise, he'd have had to cosplay Captain Flamehead.
"Ah... what a shame."
Xiao Wu let out a disappointed murmur beside him.
Such a powerful blast of flame, and it still hadn't killed those two?
Even Xiao Wu herself hadn't noticed that, under this influence, a little devil had quietly emerged in the depths of her heart.
Ye Fan slung the bow onto his back, then took out a short knife and held it, ready to clear a path.
"Stop complaining. Blasting away an entire pack of Gale Demon Wolves was already an unexpected bonus.
I never imagined that one fart could be so powerful.
If Yu Xiaogang absorbed a fire Soul Ring, he might even become unbeatable among Soul Grandmasters.
Come on. Let's catch up with them."
With that, the two turned and chased after Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.
They left behind a ground littered with white Soul Rings.
Yu Xiaogang and Tang San sprinted along a relatively concealed route.
They simply ignored some of the weaker Soul Beasts along the way.
Only after running an unknown distance did Yu Xiaogang stop, bracing himself against a rock face and panting heavily.
He hadn't exercised in years... This sudden exertion was a little too much for his heart, now over fifty years old.
Yu Xiaogang glanced at Tang San, somewhat surprised.
How was his disciple in better shape than he was?
He had run so far without any change in his expression.
But why did his current state look a little strange?
"Little San... wh-what are you looking at?"
