Chapter Twenty-Two: Golden Thread Silver Wolf

  In the fantasy world, there is no sun and moon, but day and night alternate just like in the outside world. At dusk, Bai Yuqing returned to the valley with his whole body covered in blood, exuding a strong murderous aura.

  As soon as he squeezed into the stone cave, a hint of astonishment appeared in Bai Yuqing's cold eyes: inside the cave, Nie Kong, who was usually meditating quietly, was punching and kicking the white jade wall that he treasured, sweating profusely.

  Bang! Bang! Bang......

  A loud and intense rumbling sound continued unabated.

  "Hey little sister, you're back a bit early today."

  Nie Kong didn't even turn his head as he spoke, and another punch slammed into the stone wall. This morning, after the little guy successfully advanced to the second stage, Nie Kong had originally planned to seize the time to continue cultivating, but who would have thought that this jade pendant hadn't even released a hint of medicinal fragrance again, leaving Nie Kong extremely depressed.

  So, the white jade stone pendant became Niekong's prop for practicing "Cloud-Stacked Flower Explosion" and "Flying Flower Shadow". The more than half a month of coordinated cultivation had already made Niekong and Xiangxiang extremely tacit. Now, after a whole day of bitter practice, Niekong was very familiar with "Cloud-Stacked Flower Explosion".

  Yun Die Hua Bao, in short, is to condense spiritual energy into a flower shape and then carry out a double explosion. The first explosion occurs at the moment when it is about to come into contact with the target, and the second explosion occurs at the moment of contact with the target. The force of the explosion overlaps, and its power far exceeds "Hua Bao".

  Looking at Nie Kong's hands, which were constantly flashing with green light, and his feet, which were rapidly shifting back and forth, Bai Yuqing's eyes flickered with a hint of surprise: "What kind of wood-based spiritual technique is this?"

  Nie Kong stopped practicing, wiping the sweat from his forehead as he walked towards Bai Yuqing, smiling and saying: "Clouds piled up, flowers exploded! Flying flowers, flowing shadows! Are they all my own creations? How's that, is the power still okay?" He winked at Bai Yuqing, and Nie Kong once again took credit for the little guy's work.

  Bai Yuqing looked at the stone wall that didn't leave any marks and coldly snorted: "Clouds Piled Flower Explosion? Flying Flowers Flowing Shadows? The name sounds good.

  "If you have what it takes, go ahead and punch a few holes in that stone wall!"

  Nie Kong let out a disgruntled snort and circled around Bai Yuqing's curvaceous figure, his eyes widening in surprise as he said, "Not bad, not bad. Today you don't have a single wound on your body, which saves me a lot of trouble... Hmm? What's this smell?" His finger scraped off some sticky blood from Bai Yuqing's shoulder and brought it to his nose for a sniff.

  Bai Yuqing frowned and said, "Just now, two wolves slipped to the entrance of the valley. I happened to kill them with my hands, splashing some blood on myself, and as a result, my whole body was stained with this strange smell!"

  Wolf?

  Nie Kong's eyes widened slightly, and his face changed color as he asked, "The wolf you killed, was it the one with silver fur and golden stripes all over its body?"

  Nie Kong's expression was strange, but Bai Yuqing didn't think much of it and said, "That's right, what's the problem?"

  "This is going to be a big problem."

  Nie Kong's expression turned grave as he said, "The two wolves you killed are called 'Golden Silk Silver Wolves', which are thought to be extinct outside of this realm. These Golden Silk Silver Wolves are only second-grade spiritual beasts, but they have a massive population and are extremely ferocious, often acting in packs. Once you've killed one of their members, they'll quickly seek revenge with madness. You now have wolf blood on you, so I'm afraid they'll soon be tracking us down by scent. We can't stay here; we need to change locations immediately."

  "Ahh!"

  As if to verify Nie Kong's words, a mournful howl echoed through the stone cave, apparently a Golden Silver Wolf had discovered its companion's corpse.

  "Go!"

  Nie Kong let out a loud whoop and burst out of the crack with a flash of light.

  If I were still in the stone cave, once surrounded by the Golden Silk Wolves, it would be a dead end with no way out, only running out might leave a glimmer of hope.

  "Ahh!"

  The earth-shaking sound came again, as if dozens of golden wolves were howling at the same time. Looking far away, Nie Kong found that there was a faint golden light flashing constantly at the valley entrance, and outside the valley, a large number of golden lights were approaching from all directions.

  Nie Kong took a deep breath, and in just this short period of time, the number of Golden Silver Wolves that had appeared was likely already in the hundreds. This number was still increasing, and exceeding one thousand was only a matter of time. According to Nie Qingfeng's description, there were at least two thousand Golden Silver Wolves in this Life and Death Illusory Realm.

  "White sister, hurry up!"

  Nie Kong rushed towards the gentle slope on the left side of the valley while waving his hand in greeting.

  As soon as the words fell, a strong gust of bloody wind swept past Nie Kong's side, and Bai Yuqing's slender red figure flashed by from his side, rushing straight to the valley entrance. A cold voice rang out at the same time: "Since it was I who stirred up this trouble, I will be the one to resolve it. Nie Kong, you stay here, I'll go lure them away."

  "Hey! Come back!"

  Nie Kong was taken aback, shouting and waving his hands. However, as soon as Bai Yuqing's figure appeared so brightly and openly, the Golden Wolves of the Valley suddenly rose up and crazily pounced on her. Hundreds of spiritual beasts let out a deafening roar, quickly drowning out Nie Kong's voice until not a sound was left.

  Bai Yuqing's figure flashed like lightning, dodging the pouncing golden silkworms and silver wolves, dashing into the dense forest outside the valley, leaving behind a trail of dust. Behind her, large patches of golden light flickered.

  "Whoa!"

  Watching Bai Yuqing's departing figure, Nie Kong cursed in his heart. This silly girl, who said it was your fault? The Golden Wolves and Silver Wolves have gathered hundreds of them so quickly, it can be seen that even if you don't take action, they will soon discover the stone cave by following the human scent. You go to lure them away, what's the use? Hey, thinking that I didn't get wolf blood on my body, they would show great mercy and let me off? No, it seems like I scratched wolf blood on my fingers...

  "Ahh!"

  In the midst of the howling, a pungent smell wafted over, and a golden wolf appeared out of nowhere beside Nie Kong. Suddenly, it darted out from the grass thicket, its two sharp front paws swiping at Nie Kong's chest, while its open bloody maw lunged at his head, revealing rows of razor-sharp teeth dripping with foul saliva.

  In the midst of haste, Nie Kong's two feet swiftly made a mistake, his body strangely circling to the side of Jin Si and Yin Lang, then his right fist suddenly burst out, its momentum like thunder.

  "Clouds Piled Up, Flowers Exploded!"

  Emerald flowers burst forth, the Golden Silk Wolf let out a mournful howl, Nie Kong's fist had already solidly landed on its head, another flower bloomed. The Golden Silk Wolf's wail came to an abrupt end, its skull shattered into pieces, the wolf corpse crashed to the ground, fresh blood and brains splattered everywhere.

  Nie Kong secretly felt fortunate that he had the "Flying Flowers and Flowing Shadows" movement technique, otherwise he would have been injured by the sneak attack of the Golden Silk Silver Wolf just now.

  "Wah! Wah!"

  Again, two golden wolves howled and rushed towards Nie Kong from tens of meters away. At the valley entrance tens of meters away, a golden wolf that had not yet caught up with Bai Yuqin was startled by its companion's cries, and like a starving ghost seeing delicious food, it opened its eyes wide, spread its limbs, and ran wildly towards them.

  There are at least fifty or sixty golden wolves in this valley!

  Run!

  The word flashed through his mind, Nie Kong exerted himself and jumped up, grabbing the branch of the big tree in front of him with both hands and swinging forward, landing on the slope of the opposite mountain valley, then taking off in a mad dash.

  The howling of the Golden Silk Wolves behind him grew louder and louder, and the ground began to shake. Without looking back, Nie Kong knew that more Golden Silk Wolves were chasing after his butt, and he couldn't help but feel a bit depressed. These land spirit beasts basically all climbed trees, and when they encountered danger, there was nowhere to hide...
