Chapter 43: Due Respect to a King (2/2)
”Guuu…”
The Blue Fire Wolf wanted to howl, but, as blood spurted out from its throat, blood also flowed out from its mouth. All it could manage was a gargling sound.
”Swoosh!”
Fang Zhengzhi pulled back. After hitting the target, he had to be careful of the Blue Fire Wolf’s last struggle.
The dagger extracted itself from the Blue Fire Wolf’s neck…
Blood once again spurted out. Regardless of whether it was the neck, or the throat, huge amounts of blood flowed out uncontrollably.
The Blue Fire Wolf was filled with hate and anger. It wanted to kill all of the cruel human race. Hence, in the end, it still lifted up its claws and slammed down with all its remaining strength.
What a pity…
Fang Zhengzhi had already slipped behind the back of Zhang Yangping.
Then, the stunned Zhang Yangping once again became the avenue for the Blue Fire Wolf to vent its rage.
Even though the Blue Fire Wolf’s last remaining strengthen wasn’t enough to deal a fatal blow, but it still managed to rip apart the leather hide on his body, slashing two bloody wounds on his arm.
The impact sent him flying.
”Boom!”
”Boom!”
Two sounds rang out almost at the same time. One was the sound of Zhang Yangping falling the ground, the other was the powerless Blue Fire Wolf slamming into the ground.
Its faint blue pupils stared fixated on Fang Zhengzhi’s body. It couldn’t accept this, it really couldn’t accept this. Because, even at the last moment, it didn’t even manage to hit Fang Zhengzhi once…
Fang Zhengzhi was also looking at the Blue Fire Wolf. He read the dissatisfaction in the Blue Fire Wolf’s eyes. Then, he slowly made his way towards the Blue Fire Wolf, lifting up its claw with his small arm, and, softly and briefly, placed it on his body.
This was the due respect shown to the king.
A trace of surprise flashed in the pupils of the Blue Fire Wolf, then, its huge mouth seemed to show a hint of a satisfied smile, and then slowly closed its eyes.
”Deputy captain!”
”Deputy captain, are you alright?!”
At this moment, the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad had managed to regain their senses. All of them rushed towards Zhang Yangping’s side.
”No problem, no problem…” Zhang Yangping patted off the dirt from his body, then looked at the wound on his arm and shook his head. Having escaped from right under the kiss of death, this small injury was nothing.
Seeing Zhang Yangping’s injury, all the hunting squad members began to worry. One after another, they took out their herbs and rapidly bandaged up Zhang Yangping’s injury.
A moment later, Zhang Yangping led the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad to Fang Zhengzhi’s side.
”Zhang Yangping expresses my gratitude towards little brother for saving my life, at the same time, representing all the villages within the area, expresses my gratitude towards little brother for helping Cang Ling Mountain to eliminate this Blue Fire Wolf!”
”So, this Blue Fire Wolf is now my prey?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at the Blue Fire Wolf in front of him. Having known the ropes, he saw that the skin of the Blue Fire Wolf was definitely worth quite some silver.
”Ha ha… of course!” Zhang Yangping nodded.
”Alright, the wolf skin belongs to me, you all can have the rest!” Fang Zhengzhi waved his hand, seeming extremely ”generous”. But in reality, the fundamental reason was, if he really were to carry such a big Blue Fire Wolf back to the village, it would be extremely tiring.
”This… thank you so much!” Zhang Yangping became truly touched. The Blue Fire Wolf’s meat wasn’t worth much silver, but, if he brought this Blue Fire Wolf back to the village, it could resolve the pent-up worries and frustrations of the villagers.
Those villagers whose lives were ruined by the Blue Fire Wolf would definitely be very moved.
”There is one thing I want to ask, how… did you all know the pitfall locations within the rock formation?” Fang Zhengzhi expressed the greatest suspicion in his heart.
From the second the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad appeared, to the moment the twenty over people surrounded and fought the Blue Fire Wolf, during the entire process not a single person stepped into the trap…
Was that possible?
