Chapter 38 (1/2)
”Ok, everybody make the necessary preparations. We have to be careful, we can't let this guy escape. When I count to three, everyone will rush out together, destroy his arms but make sure you don't harm his life.”
Looking at the wooden bow behind his back, an icy glow appeared in his eyes. A few days ago, his metal bow had been taken away by the Southern Mountain Village people, and the cause of all of this, was Fang Zhengzhi. This vengeance was something he couldn't swallow.
”Understood. Deputy captain don't worry, we will act appropriately!” The hunting squad members nodded. The Northern and Southern villagers were mutually dependent. Appropriate forms of revenge and conflicts were always present, but if killing occurred, this relations.h.i.+p would be destroyed completely.
”One”
”Two”
”...”
”Awoo!”
Just when Zhang Yangping was about to count to three, the howling sound of a huge beast suddenly resonated throughout the entire Cang Ling Mountain.
This stunned all of the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad members, who were already prepared to act. This sound… was too near, as if it sounded out from right beside their ears.
”This…” A hunting squad member was somewhat puzzled.
Fang Zhengzhi was similarly rather puzzled. He was just reading his book, where did such a loud howl even come from? He had stayed in the Cang Ling Mountain for some time, and had encountered a countless number of animals.
But...
This sound definitely couldn't have come from just any ordinary beast.
”Awoo!”
As he pondered, a humongous shadow shot out with lightning speed from the dense forests, and ended up less than hundred metres away from Fang Zhengzhi.
”What the… f*ck! It's humongous!” Fang Zhengzhi was truly shocked this time. The beast in front of him was really too big. It was at least twice the size of the Metal-Toothed Thorn Hog.
Its navy blue fur were like metal needles enveloping its body. Its razor-sharp front claws were perched on a piece of stone, and those black claws emanated the cold air of the forest. They looked even sharper than the two metal fangs on the Metal-Toothed Thorn Hog.
Most uniquely, on the forehead of this wild beast, there was a line of fire-red fur. That fur was like a blazing trail, leading all the way from its forehead to its tail...
”Blue… Blue Fire Wolf!”
”Deputy captain, it's… it's the Blue Fire Wolf!”
When the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad saw the beast that shot out, they trembled uncontrollably, the weapons in their hands almost dropping to the ground in fear.
Zhang Yangping shook uncontrollably with shock.
Blue Fire Wolf, this was the real king of the Cang Ling Mountain outskirts.
It couldn't even be cla.s.sified as a beast anymore, it was a truly fearsome monster!
”Deputy captain, what should we do?” A hunter's legs trembled in fear. Faced with the monster Blue Fire Wolf, there was only one way. That was to run, run as far as they possibly could.
The Blue Fire Wolf was too strong, even adding a few people to their group, they were nothing compared to the Blue Fire Wolf, much less their strength of twenty over people.
Shoot arrows?
I'm afraid that before you even manage to pull your bow, the Blue Fire Wolf would have already pounced right in front of you.
Moreover, even if you somehow managed to shoot a few, that wasn't sufficient to injure the Blue Fire Wolf. Because, the skin and fur on the Blue Fire Wolf was too thick. An average arrow could only at most sc.r.a.pe the surface of its skin, if one really intended to kill the Blue Fire Wolf with arrows, that was downright impossible.
”Run!” Zhang Yangping ordered, barely hesitating at all.
”How about the kid?
”Leave him, hurry up and run!”
Fang Zhengzhi also prepared to run. He didn't even bother taking along his basket, among other personal items. This thing in front of him was obviously very terrifying. Even though he didn't know what it was, but one look at its head told him that it was even bigger than the lion he knew from his previous world.
The reason he entered the mountain today was only to feed the animals, he didn't even have a friend beside him.
Fight one to one?
Fang Zhengzhi wasn't dumb.
But at the second he turned his body.
The Blue Fire Wolf also began to move, an icy yet blood-thirsty glint s.h.i.+ning in its faint blue pupils. Slightly curving its front claws, its gigantic body shot towards Fang Zhengzhi like a streak of lightning.
”Snap!”
The sound of stepping on broken wood rang out and immediately after, the gigantic Blue Fire Wolf disappeared.
”Huh?” Looking back, Fang Zhengzhi instantly stopped running. In his sudden burst of panic, he had forgotten that he was surrounded by pitfalls.
No matter how deadly a beast was, as long as it stepped on the trap, it would definitely fall in!
”Deputy captain, quick, look! The Blue Fire Wolf seemed to have fallen into the trap!” A Northern Mountain Village hunting squad member who was preparing to run had just realised what was happening.
