Chapter 28

"Hey, bro, I told you, this kid isn't a bad guy. See, he didn't take the chance to kill us," Li Erhu jumped up with a somersault soon after Jiang Han left, shouting.

"That shows I didn't misjudge him," Li Dalong also sat up, reaching for the golden wound medicine beside him, and then looked at the words next to it, muttering, "Is this thing useful?"

"Just try it," Li Erhu said without a second thought, cutting a small wound on his hand. If Jiang Han saw this, he would probably exclaim another fierce and strong person!

"Damn, you're really an idiot!" Li Dalong supported his forehead, quickly took a golden wound medicine, crushed it into powder, and placed it on the wound.

"That's how you test if it's real," Li Erhu grinned.

Li Dalong rolled his eyes, "Why don't you find a beast to test it on?"

"Uh, that's a good point," Li Erhu was stunned, scratching his head, but soon waved his hand impatiently, "I've already cut it, why are you so talkative, like an old woman, how annoying!"

"Who are you calling an old woman?!" Li Dalong glared, "Brat, if I don't teach you a lesson for a few days, you'll go wild!"

"Who's afraid of who, come on, let's see who's the real deal, let's fight!" Li Erhu showed no fear, suddenly throwing a punch.

"Ouch, you dare to sneak attack me!" Li Dalong covered his nose, took two steps back, and roared as he pounced forward.

"That's called taking the initiative... Damn, you're using dirty tricks!"

"...That's called catching up!"

...

Jiang Han, of course, was unaware of what was happening in the cave. At this moment, he was sprinting under the moonlight... Don't ask why, because a green sea of lanterns was following him!

"Damn, if those two idiots get in my way again, I'll skin them alive!" Jiang Han ran with gritted teeth, cursing fiercely, occasionally glancing back at the lanterns, feeling extremely angry.

The cave Li Dalong and Li Erhu found was indeed well-hidden. Jiang Han wandered around like a headless fly for a long time before he finally came out. Who knew that he would step into a wolf den right after he came out!

Those were all mid-rank first-stage Wind Wolves. One would be manageable, but Jiang Han estimated there were at least forty to fifty of them, which could tear him to pieces in an instant! More importantly, such a pack of wolves must have a Wolf King, and the Wolf King would not be lower than a high-rank first-stage.

Jiang Han's hair stood on end almost instantly, and he turned and started running.

What made him speechless was that although these Wind Wolves were only mid-rank first-stage beasts, they were known for their speed. A pack of wolves running was even faster than a Lightning Leopard, and not much slower than Jiang Han.

"Whoosh!"

Jiang Han's speed was almost at its limit, leaving trails of afterimages behind him. He had a Rejuvenation Pill in his mouth, ready to swallow it as soon as his True Essence ran low.

"Ao!"

Not far behind him, a sea of green light was jumping rapidly, leaving the ground clean as if a strong wind had swept through.

If adventurers saw this scene, they would be stunned and admire Jiang Han greatly!

In fact, when first-stage wolves gather, even second-stage beasts dare not provoke them. Wolves are the most fierce and persistent creatures, and they will not let go even if they die! That's why adventurers rarely provoke wolf packs.

Jiang Han was also extremely frustrated. He didn't know where he had provoked this wolf pack. Wasn't it just stepping into their territory! If you chased him for a while, that would be fine, but you kept chasing him relentlessly!

"Damn, a pack of mad wolves. Did I eat too many wolves in my past life? Why do I keep getting into conflicts with things related to wolves? The Wild Wolf Adventurer Team was one, and now real wolves are here!"

Jiang Han complained in his heart. This chase and escape had lasted for an hour, and his Ghost Step proficiency had increased significantly, but the wolf pack hadn't given up yet! Bullying someone shouldn't be like this!

Finally, he couldn't take it anymore. He slammed on the brakes, quickly turned around, and the Mad Rhino Battle Armor instantly covered his body, with a laser sword appearing in his hand.

"Think I'm easy to bully, you pack of damn wolves, I... Smack!"

Jiang Han roared in anger, but he was only halfway through when something hit his head, causing him to stagger and almost fall to the ground.

"What... what is this..." Jiang Han felt a black mass in front of his eyes, something attached to his face, blocking his vision. He hurriedly pulled it off.

When he saw clearly, his eyes widened. It was a baby wolf, completely white, not showing any fear when caught by Jiang Han, and even licking his hand, looking very cute.

But Jiang Han didn't think this little guy was an ordinary baby wolf. Being able to catch up to his speed and almost knock him down was not something an ordinary baby wolf could do!

Suddenly remembering the pack of Wind Wolves still chasing him, he was startled and looked up. The wolf pack had stopped, but they had surrounded Jiang Han, baring their teeth and growling, slowly advancing.

Jiang Han looked at the baby wolf in his hand, then at the advancing wolf pack, and suddenly understood why the wolf pack was chasing him!

Damn, the wolves were chasing this little guy, not him!

Realizing this, Jiang Han wanted to kick and curse. He had been suffering for no reason, being chased for so long.

In a fit of anger, Jiang Han threw the baby wolf toward a clearly larger Wind Wolf, which seemed to be the Wolf King.

The Wolf King leaped lightly, caught the baby wolf in its mouth, and stared at Jiang Han with its eyes glowing. It seemed to realize that Jiang Han was not easy to provoke. It shook its head, threw the baby wolf onto its back, and then howled, slowly turning to leave.

The pack of Wind Wolves, hearing the command, slowly retreated, then followed the Wolf King. Seeing the wolf pack retreat, Jiang Han let out a sigh of relief. The chase was finally over!

This hour of intense pursuit had cost Jiang Han an entire bottle of Rejuvenation Pills. Now, he wished he hadn't taken them. If he had stopped earlier, it would have been over long ago, and he would have wasted the pills.

Of course, it wasn't all for nothing... His Ghost Step proficiency had increased by over 200 points, and with the previous increase, it was about 400 points more than when he started. But it was still a long way from upgrading.

【Ghost Step (Incomplete)】 (Martial Skill)

Proficiency: 415/100,000 (Second Level)

Description: A martial art from the wuxia world, named for its ghostly steps that come and go without a trace. Originally a Legendary-level martial art, but due to its incompleteness, it has been reduced to the Gold level.

Level: Gold

"Ah." Jiang Han sighed. He didn't expect the Ghost Step to upgrade anytime soon. It would take time to accumulate, probably a year or two.

Watching the wolf pack disappear, Jiang Han finally relaxed his guard, putting away the Mad Rhino Battle Armor and the laser sword.

He slowly walked in the direction that seemed to be the exit. The sprint had not only consumed his True Essence but also most of his stamina. He felt weak all over.

The night in the Ten Thousand Beast Ridge always felt eerie, with only the occasional roar of a beast breaking the silence.

On the road, he occasionally saw the bones of dead beasts, the losers among the beasts, killed and eaten by others.

If it were an adventurer, they would take the entire beast back, as it was a treasure.

This is the law of the jungle!

Jiang Han was quite reflective. The world is a place of the strong preying on the weak, whether it's beasts or humans, no one can escape this rule.

While he was reflecting, he suddenly heard rustling behind him. Without thinking, he instantly activated the Ghost Step, shooting forward a distance, then turned sharply, his gaze cold.

But he was immediately stunned, first with shock, then his face turned green, because he saw a white mass he least wanted to see at that moment.

"Damn!! Why are you following me again?!"
