The Wicked Female Is Wild and Scheming, Living in a Love Battlefield Every Day-Chapter 296 - 248: Strange and Ominous

Luna Sutton glanced at Rhys Blackwood, thinking to herself that Ignatius Phoenix had just burned down The Wolf Tribe, and there’s no way the news could have traveled that fast, it was merely information given to her by the system.

But she didn’t contradict Rhys Blackwood’s words, taking it as acceptance.

Lyle Sutton’s face looked extremely grim, feeling uneasy, as anyone would when hearing their home had been destroyed.

The Priest felt equally uncomfortable, slamming the Bone Staff into the ground, the veins on his skinny hands bulging, "Those mangy beasts of The Phoenix Clan."

When people get older, they tend to miss their homeland more; the old man was indeed angry.

His cloudy eyes suddenly gleamed with a green light, and the vines in the canyon moved without wind, like countless snakes waking up.

It was Luna Sutton’s first time seeing the old man this furious, with all living things trembling in the wake of his anger.

"The Old Priest is erupting!"

The leaves of the ancient locust tree shook violently.

"Quick, dig your roots deeper..."

A clump of thorns desperately aimed for the crevices in the rocks.

Zeke Veridian’s emerald eyes suddenly looked in a certain direction, "Do you hear it, something’s approaching."

Eight small snakes simultaneously lifted their heads.

The rustling sound came from all directions, growing increasingly closer.

"It’s the Ghost-Faced Spider, drawn here by the old man’s aura."

Corbin Crowley opened the third eye on his forehead, looking in a specific direction, and spoke coldly.

"Just in time."

The Priest sneered, pulling out the Bone Staff, "Perfect for testing out the new Spell—"

His withered fingers suddenly made a sign, and all the plants in the canyon grew wildly, with thick vines twining around the grinding stone-sized Ghost-Faced Spider, and spiky wooden thorns shooting from underground, skewering the spiders into strings.

Malachi Arcanus watched in jaw-dropping amazement, "Old... Priest, what’s this move called? It looks pretty awesome."

"What are you asking so many questions for, brat? Even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand. Aren’t you going to set up traps?"

The Priest tapped him on the backside with the Bone Staff, scolding coldly.

Malachi Arcanus jumped aside, clutching his bum, grimacing, "The old geezer hits hard, and I just asked a question, didn’t I?"

Corbin Crowley’s silver eyes scanned the ground full of Ghost-Faced Spider corpses, "Use these bodies as bait, hang them on the treetops, and lure more poisonous creatures over."

Rhys Blackwood understood, using vines to hoist up the Ghost-Faced Spider remains, with venom dripping onto the vines.

The verdant vines instantly glowed with a ghostly blue light, inexplicably terrifying, like something out of a horror film.

Especially in the pitch-black night.

Zeke Veridian chuckled lightly, "I just wonder if those mangy beasts have the guts to come closer."

Everyone laughed, busying themselves with their own tasks.

Luna Sutton wasn’t idle either, leading Kael, Kael Shadowend, and Frey, the three wolf pups, along with the eight small snakes, to roam around the canyon, under the guise of "patrolling."

But in reality, she just wanted to slack off while checking for any missed traps.

With her presence, the three wolf pups and eight small snakes were highly excited, running around joyfully.

Yet, they all ensured to stay close to her, not daring to run far.

The three wolf pups also grew increasingly close to her, the previous resistance long gone.

Luna Sutton’s mouth curved slightly, seeing their excited expressions.

She realized she’s growing more fond of these little ones.

Not only are they adorable, but also well-behaved, giving her an unprecedented joy of raising pups.

Passing by a trap, she didn’t forget to reinforce it, sprinkling some homemade poison powder and phosphorescent powder inside.

Not only did it enhance the eerie atmosphere, but just a bit of contact would cause a person’s body to fester and rot, concocted from various herbs.

She sprinkled a bit into each trap and reminded the tribe’s Beastmen not to touch it.

Suddenly she heard a flapping sound from the treetops.

Looking up, she saw a Strix tilting its head to watch her, its beak moving: "Three miles southeast, there are Phoenix clan members entering the canyon."

Luna Sutton’s face changed immediately; she threw the pack of medicinal powder to the ground and hurried with the three wolf pups and eight small snakes to find Lyle Sutton and the others.

"Dad, The Phoenix Clan is here."

As soon as she spotted Lyle Sutton in the distance, Luna Sutton shouted loudly.

Lyle Sutton, hearing this, immediately turned and strode over, "So soon?"

He thought The Phoenix Clan wouldn’t arrive until at least tomorrow.

"They’ve already entered the canyon, but with the toxic mists of Sky-mist Canyon, it won’t be easy for them to find us here."

Luna Sutton panted, having run out of breath, taking several deep breaths before she recovered.

Corbin Crowley and the others were nearby and naturally heard what was said earlier.

"Malachi Arcanus, quickly inform the tribe members to conceal themselves; don’t come out without reason, make sure everyone is hidden well."

He instructed sternly, then looked at the three wolf pups and eight small snakes, "Especially you guys, don’t play around and show yourselves, understood?"

"I better tuck them away for safety."
