Chapter 32

That was a weapon, and from its appearance, it should be a magic staff. Although Cheng Yang already had a magic staff, it was just a common quality one, or what was commonly known as a white board equipment. Based on Cheng Yang's experience, with so many magic beasts guarding it at the beginning of the apocalypse, this magic staff was definitely not a common quality one. Thus, Cheng Yang really hoped he could switch to a new weapon.

Cheng Yang carefully observed the group of monsters in the distance. It was a group of gray wolves, and there was also a head wolf among them. It was currently standing upright next to the magic staff. Judging from its pitch-black fur, this black wolf had likely reached the late first stage level.

With strength comparable to his own, this was truly a troublesome matter. If there was only this one black wolf, Cheng Yang wouldn't be too worried. After all, his speed advantage could ensure that the black wolf wouldn't catch up to him. His magic power could also ensure that he could take out this guy in one round.

However, there were no fewer than fifty gray wolves surrounding the black wolf, and his magic power would definitely not be enough.

It seemed he could only wear them down slowly; Cheng Yang couldn't think of any other method. But even if he had to wear them down, it would be best to take out the black wolf first.

Cheng Yang looked around. The tree he was on was thicker than a bowl's opening, but it probably wouldn't withstand even one attack from a late first stage magic beast. There was a thicker tree nearby, which, although it might not survive the black wolf's attack unscathed, could hold for a few seconds. Cheng Yang needed just those few seconds.

Without hesitation, Cheng Yang quietly moved to the base of that tree, which was about the size of two people's arms. In the past, it would have been considered a large tree. However, in half a month, such trees would be everywhere. Cheng Yang quickly climbed up.

This tree was still more than forty meters away from the gray wolf pack, and Cheng Yang's magic missiles couldn't reach them yet. But Cheng Yang was prepared. A fist-sized rock appeared in his hand, and he threw it toward the gray wolf pack with all his strength.

"Bang..." The rock landed right in the center of the gray wolf pack, immediately startling the wolves, which began to howl.

The black wolf in the middle also let out a long howl, turning to look in Cheng Yang's direction, then let out another roar.

The gray wolves under its command, responding to their leader's call, rushed toward Cheng Yang in a swarm.

"Ao..." Howls rose and fell around Cheng Yang. These gray wolves also noticed him and began to attack the tree with their sharp teeth and claws.

Wood chips flew everywhere...

"Damn! This is too intense, right?" Cheng Yang was startled. The black wolf didn't lead the charge but let its subordinates take the lead, which was too despicable.

Cheng Yang couldn't just watch the gray wolves bite through the tree. If that happened, he would have no choice but to run for his life. So he immediately took out his withered wood staff and fired a magic missile at a gray wolf that was tearing at the tree.

"Pu..." The magic missile hit the gray wolf, and the impact knocked it to the ground, leaving it unable to get up for a moment.

Cheng Yang then fired another magic missile, and the gray wolf died.

"What a waste. If the attack power were a bit higher, I could have killed it in one shot," Cheng Yang sighed helplessly.

The death of this gray wolf deeply stimulated its companions, making their attacks even more intense. Cheng Yang had no choice but to continue his attacks.

Sixteen magic missiles were fired, and eight gray wolves died. At this point, Cheng Yang's magic power was down to 77 points, and he was getting anxious. The tree had already been bitten through a third, and if another third was bitten, just one collision from the black wolf would break it.

At this moment, the black wolf let out a howl and rushed toward Cheng Yang at a speed that was almost as fast as Cheng Yang's full speed.

"Damn! Why did I have to encounter a black wolf with speed talent?" Cheng Yang felt extremely frustrated.

Among the magic beasts, some, like humans, had various talents, which gave them advantages in certain areas. For example, this black wolf definitely had a speed talent.

However, Cheng Yang had no choice. Seeing the black wolf enter his attack range, he immediately fired a magic missile.

If it were other beginners, hitting the black wolf with a magic missile might be difficult, but for Cheng Yang, it was no problem. His experience in the apocalypse for a year was not for nothing.

The magic missile hit the black wolf, which let out a惨叫, its eyes turning red, and it glared at Cheng Yang on the tree before continuing its charge. However, another magic missile was waiting for it.

After being hit twice, even with the black wolf's magic defense of 4 points, it had lost nearly fifty health points. If it were hit three more times like this, the black wolf would be finished.

Cheng Yang was about to fire another magic missile when the black wolf fiercely collided with the tree trunk, causing the tree to shake violently.

The skills Cheng Yang had honed through a year of life and death struggles came into play. Despite being knocked off balance, he grabbed a branch with one hand, leaned his body, and the withered wood staff traced a mysterious arc in the air. The magic missile detached from the staff and headed straight for the black wolf.

"Pu..." A dull sound, and the magic missile hit the black wolf accurately.

In pain, the black wolf lost its reason and charged at the tree again...

"Crack..." A crisp sound came from the tree trunk, and Cheng Yang was shocked. This black wolf was too crazy. Just two collisions, and the tree was about to give way?

Desperate, Cheng Yang steadied himself and, relying on his strong attack awareness, fired another magic missile at the black wolf.

The black wolf let out a惨叫 but didn't die.

At this moment, the tree, unable to withstand the continuous attacks from the wolf pack, broke at the base and fell to the ground.

"Just one more hit!" Cheng Yang calculated in his mind as his body fell with the tree trunk.

The wolf pack seemed to know their enemy was about to hit the ground and rushed toward where Cheng Yang was falling, including the black wolf.

The black wolf was now enraged. Since it appeared in this world, it had been at the mid-first stage level, which allowed it to easily become the leader of this fifty-strong black wolf pack. Last night, it discovered this treasure and successfully became its guardian, immediately advancing to the late first stage level.

This advancement once made it feel like it was the strongest beast king favored by the gods. But it never expected that on the second day, it would be humiliated by a weak human. In its view, if it couldn't kill this human who had disgraced it, how could it lead the wolf pack?

Cheng Yang was about to hit the ground and saw the black wolf rushing over quickly, feeling a surge of joy. Ignoring the large number of wolves rushing over, he fired a magic missile at the black wolf's head the moment he landed.
