Chapter 41: The Disappearing World (2/2)

”Boom boom boom…”

The stones and arrows turned into raindrops, continuous and never-ending.

Fang Zhengzhi didn’t hold back. Zhang Yangping and the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad naturally also didn’t hold back. Pulling back the bow, releasing an arrow, once again pulling back the bow, then releasing another arrow, until all the arrows in the quiver behind their backs were expended.

…

”It should be dead.” Fang Zhengzhi carefully reached his head into the pitfall. He had already thrown down every single stone he could find around him.

Looking into the trap, all he could see was stones and metal arrows.

Some arrows were even smashed by Fang Zhengzhi, but, those arrowheads were securely impaled on a huge body enveloped in blue fur.

The faint blue pupils snapped open.

”Awoo!” Even when it was expelled by the wolf pack a few years ago, the Blue Fire Wolf had never felt such rage.

It was actually injured by a human child, again and again? Furthermore, he even felt a hint of a death threat. This was the biggest insult to the King’s pride.

”Boom!” A loud sound rang out. The Blue Fire Wolf, trapped by stones and arrows, suddenly moved. It leapt, completely dislodging all those stones and arrows.

At the same time, Fang Zhengzhi suddenly flinched.

Because, at the moment the Blue Fire Wolf shot out, he realised… the bright-red patch of fur that extended from its forehead all the way to its tail started to radiate a ray of blood-red light.

Changed form?

Or was it evolution?

Could it be so exaggerated, were the beasts of this world terrifying to such extremes?!

Fang Zhengzhi didn’t think for too long, and instant broke into a sprint. All the ideas he could think of had already been thought of, all he could do had also been done. Even the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad’s arrows had been completely used up.

Now…

Other than running, what else could he do?

”Awoo!” The Blue Fire Wolf howled deeply. Its humongous body sprang into the air. It absolutely left no chance of escape for Fang Zhengzhi. A front claw, engulfed in flames, slashed towards him.

At this time, would there still be arrows?

The answer was obvious…

Lead it inside another trap and smash it again? That would probably be a waste of energy.

Then, the only choice, was a reckless confrontation!

Staring at the flaming razor-sharp claws in front of him, Fang Zhengzhi’s face turned white as paper with fear. But, he still gritted his teeth, stood his ground, controlling every single movable substance in his body and concentrating them onto his small arm. Once again, he felt that explosive sensation.

”Fire? To hell with the fire!”

There was nothing fanciful about this punch, it was very direct. It didn’t even bring along the sound of wind. In a flash, it came into contact with the sharp claws of the Blue Fire Wolf.

But...

This punch produced a mysterious sensation inside Fang Zhengzhi.

It was too quiet. So quiet that he couldn’t hear anything at all, as if the entire world didn’t exist anymore. All of the flowers, grasses, trees, wood, wind, fire, completely disappeared…

”Boom!”

Between the fist and the claw, a powerful impact caused Fang Zhengzhi’s chest to feel as if it had been smashed, his entire body naturally flew and rolled backwards.

On the other hand, the advancing Blue Fire Wolf, at this moment, also rolled backwards from the same powerful impact.

”Plop!”

Both man and wolf, toppled down at almost the same time.

At this moment, the entire world became quiet beyond imagination. Not too far away, Zhang Yangping and the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad were completely stunned. They simply couldn’t believe.

What happened just now?

It seemed as if the kid and the Blue Fire Wolf met force to force! Then… he and the Blue Fire Wolf actually… actually fell backwards at the same time? Were they… evenly matched?
