The Night Demon was too strong, and several unsuspecting beasts were knocked down in an instant.
âBoom!â
The Beast of Light leapt out the fire, blinding the surrounding area with dazzling light.
âIt really is the Night Demon! How dare you push me into the fire â Iâll end you!â
âPfft!â
A dark shadow swept past the Beast of Light, and it was immediately sent into the fire again.
âRoar!â
Red light flickered, and the Blood Tiger swooped in and pounced at the Night Demon.
âWhoosh!â
With another flash, the Night Demon phased behind the Blood Tiger, and kicked the Blood Tigerâs butt with a bang.
Blood Tiger: !
âPfft!â
The Beast of Light crawled out of the bonfire, only to be smashed back in by the Blood Tiger.
Wei Feng: âŠ
Scarlet Flood Dragon: âŠ
How can the Night Demon be so powerful?
Wei Feng was a little dumbfounded.
Even if they were all teaming up, they could not beat the Night Demon.
If this was a real fight, then the little beasts would be dead by now.
âMaster, the Night Demon is of another realm than usâŠâ the Scarlet Flood Dragon whined.
The Night Demon smiled, âMaster, seems like you lost.â
âŠ
Half an hour later.
The bonfire was put out, and the Night Demon hid itself in the shadows.
It doesnât seem to like fire or light.
The Blood Tiger licked its paws, eyes affixed onto the Night Demonâs hiding spot.
The Beast of Light laid next to the Blood Tiger as well.
The Scarlet Flood Dragon rested itself on Wei Fengâs shoulders, telling him the characteristics of a Night Demon.
Night Demons are asexual.
The way they reproduce is via inheriting abilities â older demons pass on their abilities onto younger demons, which is their exclusive abilities.
This is the strength of the Night Demon bloodline.
When a new Night Demon is born, the old one dies, and the baby Demon will be taken care of by a Guardian Demon known as [Ye Lan].
Hence, in the other plane, you will never see two Night Demons at the same time.
Not to mention, the Night Demons inherit the Divine Beast bloodline!
After listening to the Scarlet Flood Dragonâs explanation, Wei Feng glanced at the Night Demon.
He felt that it was powerful, but lonely.
It made him feel a little bad.
âHere you go!â
Wei Feng got up and picked up a grilled fish skewer and handed it to the Night Demon.
âThank you, master.â
It took it and immediately bit into the skewer.
Wei Feng leaned against the rock and commended, âYou did great today â how about we join forces and attack them once again?â
âSure.â
The Night Demon nodded.
âHold it!â
The Beast of Light leapt onto the stone and announced, âLast time, I was unprepared! But behold, you will not have luck on your side anymore!â
âExactly!â
The Blood Tiger leapt onto the rock and agreed.
âYou are only a level higher than me â when I become a Level 4 Ascended Beast, you will lose regardless!â The Blood Tiger announced, and rested itself beside the Beast of Light.
âWhy do I have the feeling that a certain beast is unable to admit defeat?â The Scarlet Flood Dragon joked, swimming circles in the air. It materialised a cloud and rested on it lazily.
âYou can join them. I donât mind,â the Night Demon muttered.
âAh, you-â
âCanât you be nicer?â Ling Wu rolled over angrily. âYou can beat up the three of them, but not me!â
âDonât count me in, either. Itâs their business,â the Red Fox nodded.
âNot me too!â The Snow Wolf said, leaning on Wei Feng. âThis is a fight for Divine Beasts, I have no room to intervene!â
âI wanted to join in the fight, but I know my battles,â Xing Xie muttered, jumping into Wei Fengâs arms.
Wei Feng wanted to laugh.
It seems like a lot of the beasts are scared of the Night Demon.
âCough!â
The Beast of Light let out a cough, and burst into white light, revealing the Night Demon.
âIt doesnât matter if we fight, but we are a family now! Letâs be nice to each other!â The Beast of Light announced.
Lilith came over and leaned on Wei Feng. She thought that the beastsâ bickering was cute.
Ying, Dragon Ape, Thunder Bird, and the Wolf King came over too.
âAwoo!â
âGreat to see that the younger generation are full of energy!â
The Wolf King announced.
The Night Demon was surrounded by everyone, and blinked its big eyes.
Although it was strong, it was still young and a baby.
All Night Demons inevitably feel lonely.
In the other plane, the other three Divine Beasts think this is to limit the power of Night Demons.
Because Night Demons arenât able to survive this loneliness.
No matter how strong someone is, they are bound to have weaknesses â and the glaring weakness of a Night Demon is loneliness.
It isnât right to judge a book by its cover.
âŠ
Early in the morning.
Wei Feng opened his eyes, and he felt heavy.
He quickly found out why.
They talked late into the night and fell asleep while laying on the giant rock.
The group of baby beasts were lying on his chest; his right arm was held closely by Lilith; his left foot numb due to the Wolf King sleeping on it.
âOh dear!â
Lilith woke up and released Wei Fengâs eyes, then quickly tried moving the baby beasts away.
Wei Feng saw a funny scene unfold.
The Night Demon helplessly laid on the rock â the Beast of Light and Blood Tiger clung onto it to sleep; one of the Beast of Lightâs hooves were stuck on the Night Demonâs chest!
âLilith, look!â
Wei Feng asked Lilith to look, and she couldnât help but chuckle.
To their surprise, the Night Demon didnât bother moving the Beast of Lightâs hoof and remained motionless.
It was touch starved.
And it had a lot of trust.
The light that the Beast of Light emitted not only illuminated the Night Demonâs hiding spot, but also illuminated its heart.
