Chapter Six: A Bountiful Harvest
"Wooooo~~~" As you let out a mournful howl, pack after pack of wolves crazily approached the hunting squad near Longjia Village.
"Form a circle and prepare for battle!" Village Chief Long Xiao shouted loudly.
Before the sound fell, the hunting team of Longjia Village formed a circle with great quality. Fifteen people holding shields surrounded the outermost circle, seventeen people holding big knives and long spears crouched behind the shields, fifteen people in the middle held bows and arrows ready, and the remaining village head Long Xiao and Long Wu, Long Ge were on standby at random.
"We've run into a pack of wolves, what great luck." Long Wu said with a bitter smile.
"I hope it doesn't come too much, if it comes too much, it will be hard to solve," said Village Head Long Xiao.
In just a few minutes, the wolves had surrounded them. Looking at the dense pack of wolves surrounding them, there were probably over a thousand heads. Even the bravest hunting party couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines. So many, how could they be killed?
The pack of wolves seems to be waiting for something. Are they waiting for the wolf king's command?
"Aooooo~~~~~~" A very loud howl, the wolves began to attack, one by one they rushed over frantically.
"It's a wind-attribute wolf." Long Ge thought to himself, (Wind attribute belongs to water attribute Dou Qi, because there's a saying that goes "wind gives rise to water", haha) The speed of the wind-attribute wolf is very fast, looks like it'll be tough to hit.
As expected, the Wind Wolf charged over and collided with the shield, then retreated quickly to let the next wave of wolves collide. In this brief interval, the long spearman and great swordsmen hiding behind the shield didn't have time to make a move against the wolf that was so swift in its movements.
Although the long spearman and the big knife man can't kill, it doesn't mean that the bow and arrow man can't kill. The fifteen bowmen behind quickly drew their bows and shot arrows, so many wolves, even with their eyes closed, could hit them. Hitting the vital point would make the wolf die, and not hitting the vital point would also make the wolf temporarily lose its combat effectiveness. Therefore, in order to protect the shieldman in front, the bowmen behind did not stop shooting arrows.
The most eye-catching ones are Long Wu and Xiao Long Ge. At this time, the golden attribute of Long Wu's Dou Qi has fully demonstrated its defensive breaking properties. Every time he shoots an arrow, a orange light can be seen piercing through the wolf pack (the Dou Qi of a high-level master is orange in color). This orange light always pierces through several wolves before exhausting itself. Indeed, the power of a high-level master is not to be underestimated, especially when combined with the copper-grade large bow and the defensive breaking properties of the golden Dou Qi, making it unbeatable.
Long Ge also performed well, although he was holding a small bow of iron grade (because he was short and had short hands, he could only hold a small bow), and although he didn't have the property of breaking defense with his Golden Qi. His performance was accurate to the letter. With agile movements and sharp observation, the wolves that flew in from the shield were either hit between the eyebrows, or hit the heart, or hit the throat, truly a divine technique.
Because they performed so well, so far, except for a few hand-held shields with bloody palms, there are no other casualties. However, if this stalemate continues, even if the hunting team's dozens of arrows are shot out, it may not be possible to kill all the wolves. Moreover, as more and more of their own kind are killed, the wolf pack becomes more and more ferocious, and the shield bearers can barely hold on.
The village chief, Long Xiao, charged forward with his large knife and began to slaughter the wolves on the outer circle of shields. As soon as he joined the fray, his aura was extraordinary! The village chief, who was at the infant level, faced off against the wolf king, who was at the Qi Refining stage, with an energy difference of over a dozen levels. Every time the village chief swung his knife, he split a wolf in two. Although the wolves were fast, the energy gap between them and the village chief was too great (after all, even if a baby ran quickly, they couldn't outrun an adult). The village chief was killing left and right, charging towards wherever danger lay. In just a few short minutes, the village chief was covered in blood, but it wasn't his own - it was the wolves'. However, even though the village chief wasn't injured, he was still human, and killing one chicken might be easy, but killing a hundred would be exhausting! Just as the village chief was about to collapse from exhaustion, the wolf king, who had been hiding in the back and directing the battle, finally charged forward in anger.
The Wolf King couldn't bear to see his younger brother being killed, after all, he was the Wolf King. If he always let his younger brothers go to their deaths, what was the point of being the Wolf King? The Wolf King - generally at the level of Qi Dan and Qi Yin, looking at this Wolf King with so many wolves, it should be a Qi Yin demon beast that has passed through the first Heavenly Tribulation. Once past the first Heavenly Tribulation, not only is its defensive power greatly enhanced, but its intelligence also increases somewhat.
The wolf king first lets its minions take the lead, wearing down the hunting party's aces (such as depleting the village chief's aura), and only after they are exhausted does it go to deal with the hunting party's aces, thereby achieving the goal of annihilating them. Now that it sees the village chief is almost done for, it rapidly charges over, pouncing on the village chief. The wind-attribute wolf king, its speed is truly fast, and in an instant a wolf shadow flashes over, the village chief can only instinctively block his vitals after killing one wolf.
"Hiss!" A crisp sound, the wolf king's paw collided with the village chief's large knife, and the village chief flew back on the spot.
Long Wu hastily supported Long Xiao, "Are you okay?"
"It's nothing!" Long Xiao said to himself, sitting down at the edge, "I just exhausted my internal energy, you continue killing the enemy, try to drive out the Wolf King, I'll meditate for a while." After finishing speaking, he sat down at the back of the hunting team.
The village head felt very depressed, how could this wolf king be so cunning? Normally, the village head was not afraid of the wolf king at all, and was even more powerful than him. However, after a fierce battle, his energy was exhausted, he was struck by the wolf king, his internal organs were injured, and blood rushed to his throat. In order to avoid affecting morale, he hurriedly swallowed this mouthful of blood.
Just as the Wolf King thought he could go on a killing spree after knocking down the village chief, three orange lights shot towards him. The Wolf King hastily dodged and instinctively avoided these deadly arrows, then directly charged towards where the arrows came from.
Long Wu had also shot several hundred arrows and his internal energy was almost depleted. Just now, he had exerted all his strength to shoot out the last three arrows, hoping to kill the Wolf King with one blow. Unfortunately, the Wolf King's speed exceeded his expectations, and now that he saw the Wolf King charging over, he could only draw out the big knife on him to meet the enemy.
We can ignore everyone, but we can't ignore our protagonist Longge. At this time, Longge's heroic nature is revealed. When shooting arrows earlier, Longge didn't use any aura at all, relying solely on his excellent accuracy, so his aura wasn't consumed too much. When killing Feng Lang, Feng Lang dropped a magic core which was caught by Longge. With the divine effect of the Five Elements Technique, not only did his aura not consume too much, but it also increased. To what extent? Only to see Longge's body flash with blue light, and his water attribute aura leveled up! In other words, Longge's Water Flower Body Technique upgraded to Water Drop Body Technique, which is much faster than the Water Flower Body Technique in terms of speed.
Just as the Wolf King was about to rush in and kill Long Wu, Long Ge moved. In an instant, he dodged under the Wolf King who was flying in mid-air (the Water Drop Body Technique is indeed fast), and while dodging, he drew his bow and nocked an arrow. After landing below, he shot out an arrow, and a fiery red light instantly pierced into the Wolf King's heart. Then, with a loud explosion, the Wolf King's body burst into pieces on the spot.
Did the Wolf King really die that easily? Yes. Only Long Ge had such a magical step to dodge under the Wolf King, only with precise and sharp observation could he hit the Wolf King's heart while flying at high speed, only with the explosion of fire attribute Dou Qi could the originally harmless arrow explode inside the Wolf King's body in an instant, this, only Long Ge can do.
When Long Ge caught the magic core that fell from Lang Wang, everyone in the hunting team was excited and shouted loudly: "Lang Wang is killed! Everyone work hard to drive away the wolf pack!"
The pack of wolves saw their feared wolf king killed in an instant, and they were suddenly frightened. They didn't know which wolf took the lead first, but soon the whole pack left cleanly.
"Woohoooo! Woohoooo!" The hunting party cheered, they had defeated the powerful wolf pack and now was the time to enjoy their victory. Many people were exhausted and lay on the ground panting loudly, while a few others lifted up the hero Long Ge and tossed him into the air.
Post-battle statistics: Twenty members of the hunting party were injured, but they were all minor injuries. Most of them were just exhausted and had been bitten by wolves from other packs that rushed up to attack. They just needed some basic bandaging.
Death toll: 0
Killed wolf count: 324, including 20 Qi Dan level and 304 Qi Zhe level. A total of over 300 demon cores were obtained, which should earn a lot if sold at one silver coin each.
Kill the wolf king, get a gas infant level demon core. Since it was killed by Longge, it belongs to Longge. In this way, Longge can use this to exchange for what he needs, such as some elixir and equipment props.
There are over 200 pieces of fur, many of which have been torn apart. They were all cut by a big knife, but even if they are sold at one silver coin per piece, it can still be sold for a lot of money.
(Human Continent's Currency Exchange Rate: 1 Gold Coin = 10 Silver Coins = 100 Copper Coins)
And the one who gained the most this time should be Long Ge, although it is said that Long Ge's skills have been progressing, but no matter how fast he progresses, he can't break through as quickly in battle. After this battle, Long Ge's attributes are as follows:
Age: Still three years old
Method: The Five Elements Method, where the water element has been upgraded, from Water Flower Step to Water Drop Step; the fire element has also been upgraded, from Fire Spark Blast to Fire Seed Blast, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy to instantly kill the Wolf King; the earth element is still at the second-level Earth Block Defense (the first level being Earth Grain Defense); the wood element is still in the Wood Cotton Treatment stage, but since I'm walking in the forest, there's wood element everywhere, so the Wood Cotton element is also ready for an upgrade; and finally, the metal element... still hasn't appeared! I wonder where Long Wu, Dragon Song's father, practiced his metal element?
Level: Qi is at the 8th level (currently, I can fight against those below the 7th level, and in reality, I can already challenge high-level Qi Dan practitioners. If relying on combat experience, it's estimated that I can be even more formidable.)
Harvest: One A-grade magic core, ready to exchange for some equipment.
Lover, idealism and same as last chapter, haha!
They tidied up their harvest and the hunting party also prepared to return, because going further in would mean encountering even more terrifying magical beasts. Even if their fighting spirit hadn't been depleted and no one had been injured, they still wouldn't be a match for the magical beasts inside, so they hurried back to the village.
Back in the village, the villagers were amazed at this harvest. What was astonishing was that they had encountered a pack of wolves and yet everyone returned unscathed. What brought joy was that these gains were enough for the villagers to live happily and contentedly for a year.
And on the way back, Long Ge asked Long Wu a question: "Father, how did you cultivate your Golden Attribute Dou Qi?"
"I'll tell you when you're four years old." Long Wu said mysteriously.
"Dragon Song."
Long Wu also asked Long Ge a question: "Where did you learn your Water-Element Footwork?"
"I'll tell you when I'm four years old." Long Ge said mysteriously.
Long Wu
After spending a few days back in the village, the villagers were preparing to cross over the big mountain to exchange some goods in town.
What is the world like outside the big mountain? What's wonderful in the town?
