Ch91 - Red Wolves

After half a month, they came upon a small stream. Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu lapped along the bank of the stream thrice, carefully inspecting everything on their path.

“Mufeng, what are you looking for?” Jiang Xu asked uncertainly, looking at his lover walking around the stream with his head bowed, seemingly searching for something.

“I’m not looking for anything. I’m just checking the footprints.” Liu Mufeng said as he pointed to the footprints on the ground.

“Footprints?” Jiang Xu also looked over. “These should be the footprints of wolves. There should be a pack of wolves nearby, and there should be a lot of them. They might have come here often to drink water.”

Hearing what Jiang Xu said, Liu Mufeng nodded. “Yes, these are the footprints of a pack of Red Wolves. There should be between twenty-eight and thirty-five of them, and they come here to drink water every day. Their feces and shedded furs could be seen downstream. I had checked the wolves’ excrement. The leader should be in the Spiritual Master Realm, and a lot of the pack members should also be in the peak of Spiritual Realm. There are hard bones in their feces.”

Hearing his lover’s detailed analysis, Jiang Xu couldn’t help but raise his brows. “Mufeng, aren’t you too powerful? Even before seeing them, you already know how many wolves there are and what kind of strength they have.”

“Wolves are carnivores. Depending on their strength, the amount of spiritual power they can absorb from the flesh of demon beasts is also different, so the amount of feces they discharge is naturally different. As for the number, it can be estimated by looking at the footprints.” Some were from his own observations, and some were written in the original novel, so Liu Mufeng naturally would know.

“Oh, so that’s how it is.” Nodding, Jiang Xu expressed his understanding. “Mufeng, are you going to deal with the wolves?”

Hearing this, Liu Mufeng smiled. Turning around, he pointed to a nearby mountain. “XiaoXu, that mountain is the territory of this pack of wolves. Tell me, why are these wolves stronger than the other demon beasts in the secret realm?”

Jiang Xu thought for a while. Yes, the demon beasts in this Cang Mountain Secret Realm were generally in the Spiritual Realm. There were very few demon beasts in the Spiritual Mortal Realm. If there was an Alpha wolf in the Spiritual Master Realm among the wolves, then there must be something strange with the place where the wolves lived. “Is the landscape a gifted treasure? Or a field of spiritual plants?”

“No, this mountain should be the location of the Spirit StoneVein. Otherwise, it is impossible for a group of wolves to have such high strength. You know, it is not easy for a single wolf to advance to the Spiritual Master Realm. Still, the other wolves are also in the peak of Spiritual Realm. The appearance of this many eight or nine-star strength is too abnormal.” After thinking for a while, Liu Mufeng gave this answer.

Seeing the serious expression of his lover, Jiang Xu agreed. “Yes, it must be a good thing. Otherwise, these wolves couldn’t be so powerful.”

“XiaoXu, let’s prepare first to set up an ambush by the stream and then go to the mountain.”

“En.” Nodding, Jiang Xu agreed.

“Bang bang bang…!”

When one wolf after another walked into the encirclement, Liu Mufeng detonated the prepared magic talismans and two explosion arrays. There was the sound of explosions one after another. The whole ground shook.

“Awooo…!”The Alpha wolf howled and began to summon other wolves, but the other wolves let out a scream. The explosion killed several wolves with slightly lower strength, and many were injured to varying degrees.

Hearing his subordinates howling in pain, the Alpha wolf was extremely furious. He kept howling all around.

Jiang Xu took out his sword and flew towards the Alpha wolf with Xiaoyuan on his shoulders. Flying in mid-air, Jiang Xu released three sword moves head-on, each of which was slashed with all his strength. The swordQiturned into streams of light and attacked the wolf.

“Owwoo…” Raising his claws, the Alpha wolf waved three claws toward the void, and the three red paw prints directly tore apart Jiang Xu’s three swordQi.

“Sure enough, I met a worthy opponent!” Seeing the Alpha wolf easily deflecting the attack, Jiang Xu couldn’t help narrowing his eyes. Previously, taking the Golden Jade Lotus was quite easy as the group of demon beasts guarding it couldn’t even bear his own spiritual suppression. However, the wolf in front of him was completely different. This was a demon beast in the Spiritual Master Realm, a demon beast that was the same level as himself, so it shouldn’t be underestimated.

The Alpha wolf’s eyes narrowed fiercely at Jiang Xu, sizing up this short opponent up and down. Then, its body slowly moved back. Suddenly, its spiritual force erupted, rushing towards Jiang Xu’s direction rapidly.

Looking at the Alpha wolf rushing towards him like a whirlwind, Jiang Xu flew up and swung another swordQidirectly at the Alpha wolf. At the same time, Xiaoyuan also opened her mouth and spat out a dozen golden threads at the Alpha wolf, who launched the first attack.

The Alpha wolf had been paying attention to Jiang Xu, so his swordQifailed to hurt it, and the attack was avoided in time. However, Xiaoyuan’s sneak attack succeeded. More than a dozen golden threads hit the red wolf’s body. However, those golden threads were too thin. Even if it pierced the red wolf’s crest, the other party still didn’t feel any pain or itching.

On this side, Jiang Xu and the Alpha wolf fought together. On the other side, Liu Mufeng, along with the Primordial Spirit Insects, beast fire, and Wisteria Vine, faced the remaining twenty-three wolves (there was a total of thirty-two wolves, eight red wolves were killed, and the Alpha wolf was removed, leaving twenty-three wolves left to fight Mufeng). The three red wolves of the Nine Stars of the Spiritual Realm were thrown by Liu Mufeng to the flame eagle. The flame eagle suffered a lot before, and it was still only one person tall, but it was more than enough to deal with a few red wolves of the nine stars of the Spiritual Realm.

The Water Spirit Insects and the Wisteria Vine joined forces to deal with the five wolves with eight stars in the Spiritual Realm. Other Primordial Spirit Insects attacked the other red wolves in batches.

“Oww, ooh…” A red wolf with seven stars in the Spiritual Realm rushed towards Liu Mufeng.

Seeing the red wolf rushing over, Liu Mufeng immediately spawned weeds under the red wolf’s feet, entangling the wolf’s legs.

“Owwww…” struggling hard, the red wolf howled angrily.

Liu Mufeng raised his hands and green light shot out one after another from his palm. It then turned into a green spear and stabbed directly at the wolf.

Before the wolf could break free from the shackles on his feet, it saw a green light flying towards it. The wolf howled and hurriedly avoided the attack. Green light brushed past the wolf’s body but directly pierced the wolf’s left hind leg.

“Oww…” With a scream, the red wolf slumped to the ground weakly.

“Owoo…” Seeing the tragic death of their companion, the two wolves rushed towards Liu Mufeng with red eyes.

After taking out a shield, Liu Mufeng smashed it directly at the two wolves, blocking the two wolves that had rushed over. Liu Mufeng took a few steps back. Then, raising his hand, he threw a row of six darts.

Looking at the six darts thrown at them, the two wolves instinctively turned sideways to dodge.

Liu Mufeng stared at the six darts, his pupils shrank, and his soul force was directly released. The trajectory of the six darts changed immediately. It hit the two wolves with precision and accuracy.

“Ow, ooh…” The two wolves slumped to the ground and couldn’t move anymore.

Liu Mufeng waved his hand to attract the Golden Spirit Insect. The Golden Insects immediately killed the two wolves and began to frantically eat their flesh and blood.

Because of the preparations, traps were arranged in advance, Liu Mufeng’s progress here was relatively smooth. The wounded red wolves were soon killed.

The progress on Jiang Xu’s side was not very smooth. He had been fighting with the Alpha wolf for quite some time, but there was no winner. However, Xiaoyuan’s sneak attack had been successful many times. At first, Jiang Xu felt that Xiaoyuan’s golden thread was useless. But over time, he no longer felt that way. Because he noticed that his opponent was getting more and more strange.

“Ow ooh…”

Looking at the Alpha wolf howling in pain, Jiang Xu seized the opportunity and chopped off the Alpha wolf’s head. The wolf’s head fell to the ground, and he saw white worms with no legs, feet, or wings pouring out from the wound. The larva kept squirming in the Alpha wolf’s body. Jiang Xu couldn’t help the twitching of the corners of his mouth. He finally got the answer he was looking for,‘No wonder the wolf howled so miserably. It turns out that its body was full of bugs!’

“Xiaoyuan, why did you give birth again?” Seeing the bugs crawling in and out of the Alpha wolf’s body, Liu Mufeng scratched his hair in desperation. Weren’t these little Primordials too prosperous? The number of spirit insects in his hand has now reached 30,000. If she continued to give birth like this, he would not be able to support them!

“Buzz…”These are not my children. These are parasitic seeds. It is secreted from my body. After they eat the flesh and blood of the Alpha wolf, I will eat them again, and my strength will be improved.

Hearing this, Liu Mufeng breathed a sigh of relief just now. “You, take it easy for me, don’t give birth to so many. I can’t afford it.”

“Master, why are you so stingy! How bad are my people? After fighting this battle with you, I lost more than a thousand children. Now adding my husband, the total number of insect swarms is not even thirty thousand.”

“Okay, don’t talk nonsense. Let them clean the battlefield.” Liu Mufeng said helplessly.

“En, I understand!”Nodding, Xiaoyuan immediately ordered the swarm to clean the battlefield.

Jiang Xu walked over to take a look, selected a circle and took away fifty kilograms of wolf meat. Some of the wolf meat was not very tasty. Still, something was better than nothing. When staying with a group of bugs, one must learn to snatch food. Otherwise, he and Mufeng would only be able to eat Fasting Pills.
