Chapter Eighty: Pursuing and Slaying the Wolf Pack
Guo Fei pondered for a moment, then casually stored the large spirit stone radiating yellow light into his token space. A hint of a smile appeared on his face as he slowly backed away, while the three-headed wolf, still unwilling to give up, looked back at him with a bold idea suddenly forming in its mind.
"You all go back and rest, I'll take you to hunt them down!" Guo Fei said with a wave of his hand. Then in an instant, he drew them into the Soldier Symbol space.
Guo Fei took a glance at the Golden Howl beside him, who was devouring the wolf's body, and beckoned to it with his hand. The Golden Howl ran over, Guo Fei mounted it, and slowly chased after the pack of wolves.
Guo Fei was not very close, only about a kilometer away from them, and was watching from afar. Guo Fei waited, waiting for the space to quickly restore Hu Xiaoyue's and Shi Bing's physical strength.
A faint blue mist rose from the grid and surrounded it.
As the military token space was upgraded, Guo Fei noticed for the first time that in the grid of the military hall, a mass of air would slowly condense. For example, in Hu Xiaoyue's grid, a blue mist-like mass condensed, which was clearly consistent with her water attribute. When she entered this space, these mists would be absorbed into her body, quickly restoring her physical strength and vitality.
In the Corpse Soldier Hall of the military symbol space, the situation is different. The entire hall is shrouded in a thick gray mist that slowly gathers and rises on its own. At first, it came from the corpses of the corpse soldiers, but now it seems to be able to absorb energy from the outside world and regenerate itself.
When the seven exhausted corpse soldiers entered the coffin, the gray mist surrounded them and was absorbed into their bodies. The light shadows that indicated their corpse soldier rank emitted a gray glow, which appeared on their bodies and gradually brightened. Their dead energy was also rapidly recovering.
Guo Fei examined the grid of his sword soldiers and found a golden aura surrounding the glowing sword shadow, like sunlight. He felt that this aura was beneficial for his physical recovery, but since his body couldn't enter the symbol space, he couldn't absorb it.
Guo Fei had a premonition that if one day his physical body could enter the Soldier Symbol space, the recovery of his yuanqi would be exceptionally rapid. Perhaps he was waiting for the Soldier Symbol space to upgrade to a certain level before such good things would appear.
The sun sets, the afterglow spills on the ground, and the distant scenery is covered with a layer of golden light. Everything becomes hazy. The night of Hei Yan Gao Di is about to arrive.
For all the hunters participating in the competition, this was an unusual night. Those with low cultivation were frightened and worried about where to hide to avoid being attacked by ferocious beasts, wild animals or even other hunters. Those with high cultivation were concerned about whether they could obtain the blood of ferocious beasts, demon cores or beast souls. Because tonight was destined to be a night of extraordinary slaughter.
On this night, whether it was anxiety or excitement, it made people uneasy. But Guo Fei's mood was very calm, and he seemed to be slightly excited. In the dark of night, he closely followed the wolf pack, relying on Jinmao Hou's keen nose and the ninja Ming's discerning eyesight, this wolf pack never shook off Guo Fei.
However, after passing through a dense forest, the wolf pack suddenly disappeared. Guo Fei let Jin Mao shout to speed up his pace and quickly rushed over the dense forest, walking onto a hill.
As soon as they rushed up the hill, this group of wolves instantly emerged from the rocky thicket and surrounded them in a circle. They obviously knew that Guo Fei was following them, hiding and waiting to launch a sudden attack on him.
Guo Fei raised his hand and seven corpse soldiers and Hu Xiaoyue instantly appeared on either side of him. After two hours of recovery, their physical strength had recovered by 30%.
"Hiss!" The red-headed wolf and the white-headed wolf suddenly opened their mouths wide, one spewing out a fist-sized fireball, the other spewing out a fist-sized ice ball, hurtling towards Guo Fei. The two wolves had clearly reached an unspoken agreement to send Guo Fei to his death.
"Hah!" The giant and the knight's corpse suddenly leapt up, their long guns firing like a lone desert smoke, deeply understanding the essence of the fierce wind gun. A burst of gray energy erupted from the tip of the gun, instantly blocking the ice ball and fireball. The energy transformed into a lotus-shaped tray in an instant, holding the fireball and ice ball aloft, striking them back and sending them flying backwards, exploding instantly among the pack of wolves.
"Awesome! Such a big improvement!" Guo Fei exclaimed in surprise. Their application ability of Ming Qi's aura had improved a lot, which made Guo Fei extremely surprised.
"Yes, Master. The big one and the knight are probably about to reach the middle stage of Ghost General, and the other five are in the high stage of Ghost Guard. I've relied on them for protection all along, or else I would have died a dozen times already." Hu Xiaoyue said with a smile.
Seven corpse soldiers instantly formed a goose formation, charging towards the pack of wolves to kill them. The corpse soldiers' attack power increased greatly after recovering 30% of their physical strength, and they annihilated more than twenty wolves in an instant. Three wolf kings let out a helpless angry roar, abandoned the corpses of their pack members, and turned around to escape forward.
"This young master has plenty of time to chase you, you can't escape! Haha!" Guo Fei smiled and put Hu Xiaoyue and the corpse soldier into the space of the military symbol to rest.
Guo Fei's method was to use his leisure to await the enemy's labor, shouting at the wolf to rush and attack for a thousand miles, gradually becoming exhausted, with much less attacking power than before. And Guo Fei led the well-rested elite soldiers and Hu Xiaoyue forward, just making Jin Maohou suffer a bit.
Another three hundred miles were chased out, and Jinmao Hou was also a bit tired. Guo Fei changed his strategy, letting Jinmao Hou enter the Bingshu space to rest, and he transformed into a ninja to track down. When his physical strength was exhausted, he let Jinmao Hou come out and ride on him, alternating between the two of them, always maintaining fast and vigorous physical strength.
Finally, a wolf fell behind in the pack, foaming at the mouth and collapsing by the side of the road, where it was shot dead by Guo Fei. In the end, more and more wolves dropped out, exhausted and unable to get up again. The darling of the forest, known as the fastest wolf in the Black Rock Highlands, had been tortured into this state by Guo Fei, who couldn't help but feel a little comforted and proud.
In the end, only three wolves were left running ahead, with Guo Fei less than a hundred meters away, chasing them tightly. They were also exhausted and panting, rushing towards their den in a fluster.
A majestic mountain of rugged rocks appeared before our eyes. Although the mountain was not very high, it was steep and precipitous, with rocks jutting out in all directions like a forest, and numerous paths winding into the hills like cow hair. In the rocky thicket, a kind of shrub with downward-facing thorns grew, extremely hard and dense, covering the entire hill like a maze.
Three-headed wolf quickly ran into the hill, disappeared into the small path of the rocky thicket.
Guo Fei didn't dare to rush in rashly, and instead summoned Hu Xiaoyue and the seven corpse soldiers. Their physical strength had now recovered to about 60-70%, greatly increasing their combat power.
"Not bad, this is Luanshi Jingji Mountain, their wolf's lair." Hu Xiaoyue's eyes lit up and she said in a low voice.
"Are you familiar with this road?" Guo Fei looked at the hill thoughtfully.
"I'm very familiar with this place, my family used to live here for ten years. I originally wanted to revisit the old place, but found that it had become a wolf's den, and unexpectedly discovered three large spirit stones inside, so I sneaked in and stole one of them. Unfortunately, I was discovered by them, and only managed to steal one piece. There should still be some wolves left behind, we need to be careful." Hu Xiaoyue said with a charming smile.
"One drum makes a sound, and then declines. The three-headed wolf was already exhausted enough, it didn't have much resistance left." Hehe! Guo Fei immediately put away the Golden Roar, storing it in the Soldier Symbol Space, transforming into a ninja, having the corpse soldiers form a long snake array, Guo Fei brought Hu Xiaoyue along and charged forward.
Under the guidance of Hu Xiaoyue, a team of people went straight to the wolf's den in the mountain belly. Although there were occasional wolves hiding in the dark to attack along the way, they were not opponents of the corpse soldiers at all. The small bites and scratches could not harm the hard bodies of the corpse soldiers.
The terrain here is indeed complex, if it weren't for Hu Xiaoyue leading the way, Guo Fei would have gotten lost and possibly died in this maze-like place. The area is filled with giant boulders and thorny shrubs, with many paths that can easily lead one astray.
Along the winding passage, a group of people arrived in front of a vast cave. The dark cave was shining with a faint light, which were the eyes of a pack of wolves, apparently these wolves were guarding here and ready to fight to the death with Guo Fei and his companions.
"Kill!" Guo Fei shouted, and the corpse soldiers rushed forward first. In an instant, Guo Fei summoned both of the two ghostly guards from the Golden Hair Roar and Skull Staff. Since he had made up his mind to annihilate them all, he naturally went all out, using brute force to overwhelm them.
