Chapter 21

The single-wheel imprint of the Thunder Clan!

The old man's heart was stirred by a tumultuous wave. People with a single-wheel attribute were extremely rare, not one in ten thousand, but even one in a thousand was hard to find. Moreover, there were differences in the quality of single-wheel imprints. The rarer they were, the more precious they became. Lei Xingfeng had a Thunder Wheel, an extremely rare Thunder Wheel imprint.

"Where is he?"

At this moment, the old man was truly moved. If this matter was handled well, perhaps he could be transferred back to the Great Flood Cave.

Ying Xiaowu muttered, and the old man impatiently interrupted him, "Shut up, you speak!"

Ying Dafei hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, he lives in Tiger Cliff Fort."

The old man asked, "What's his name? Are you sure he's only sixteen or seventeen years old? Right, what's his current level... Hmm, he can injure Ying Xiaowu, so he must be quite good, probably a Thousand Wheel Master..." He had a clear understanding of people with a single-wheel attribute. Their cultivation would rapidly improve.

Ying Dafei recalled and said, "Seems... seems to be called something Feng... Yes, his name is Lei Xingfeng. Strange, he even has the surname Lei!"

The old man asked, "What do you mean?"

Ying Dafei explained, "In Tiger Cliff Fort, the main surnames are Hu and Ke. Lei Xingfeng must be an outsider." He continued, "He definitely hasn't exceeded eighteen years old. There's one thing I've always been puzzled about. At first, he could only fight with me, and we were evenly matched."

The old man said, "Nonsense! You are a Hundred Wheel Master, Ying Xiaowu can beat you ten to one! How could he lose to Lei Xingfeng?"

Ying Dafei said, "When he fought with Uncle, Uncle injured him in one move. However, during the battle, it rained heavily... Lei Xingfeng was struck by lightning, and then he strangely persisted, as if his strength had surged."

The old man said, "Even if his strength surged, he couldn't master it immediately!"

Ying Dafei said, "Uncle didn't lose; he was ambushed by Lei Xingfeng... using a one-time wheel weapon to injure him."

The old man was startled and said, "A one-time wheel weapon?"

Ying Dafei nodded and said, "Yes, a one-time wheel weapon, very powerful. When it was activated, it annihilated everything around. Fortunately, the boy wasn't skilled, or Uncle and he would have perished together." This was why, when he first saw the wheel weapon explode, he immediately fled with Ying Xiaowu, not daring to be careless. If it happened again, he couldn't bear it.

The old man frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Lei Xingfeng... He must have someone behind him. Hmm, to be able to refine a one-time wheel weapon, which is quite powerful... No, I need to find someone to help."

At this moment, the old man understood. This must be the disciple of some expert. Not just anyone could refine a one-time wheel weapon, which was even harder to refine than a regular wheel weapon. One-time wheel weapons were rarely used by people with a single-wheel attribute, but were very popular among those with mixed-wheel attributes, as they could activate multiple one-time wheel weapons once they cultivated wheel power.

However, a young man with a Thunder single-wheel attribute was incredibly attractive to the old man.

Ying Dafei, full of hope, said, "Sir, let's destroy Tiger Cliff Fort! Avenge Uncle!"

Ying Xiaowu's eyes were filled with hatred, and he nodded continuously.

The old man said coolly, "Destroy what? If Lei Xingfeng agrees to join the Great Flood Cave, hehe, Tiger Cliff Fort can even apply for a Great Flood Cave expert to sit in!"

Ying Xiaowu and Ying Dafei stared with eyes wide open, their faces filled with disbelief and extreme disappointment, which they couldn't hide.

The old man said, "Both of you stay here, don't go anywhere, and definitely don't go to Tiger Cliff Fort. Remember that, or don't blame me for being unfriendly!"

Ying Xiaowu grumbled a few times, saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth. He was furious and desperate, but he knew he couldn't oppose. He was very clear about his master's temper; if he angered him, he would definitely suffer.

The old man said, "Don't be so upset. If he can join the Great Flood Cave, your contribution will be significant. As for your wound, I will find someone to treat it again."

Ying Dafei, not giving up, said, "Sir, if Lei Xingfeng refuses to join the Great Flood Cave..."

The old man sneered and said, "Impossible! I will find an expert." He understood that if Lei Xingfeng refused to join, the Great Flood Cave would definitely destroy this young man. The potential of a Thunder single-wheel attribute was too great. If he couldn't be used by the Great Flood Cave, his growth would pose a threat to them, giving them a sufficient reason to eliminate him.

...

Lei Xingfeng spent several days refining and familiarizing himself with his wheel power armor. He also received a material for refining wheel weapons from his grandfather, as he couldn't find the materials himself.

A metal block weighing several kilograms, a metal he didn't recognize, neither iron, steel, gold, nor copper, with a very peculiar color.

Black with silver threads, about the length of an arm and the thickness of an egg, its name was also strange: Thunder Release Gold. According to the old man Lei Bao, this material was not naturally formed but a mixture of over a dozen substances, capable of storing Thunder Wheel power and changing shape with Thunder Wheel power.

At Lei Xingfeng's level and skills, he was absolutely unable to process such a large piece of Thunder Release Gold. He played with it, finding its properties very unique. Using Thunder Wheel power, he could cut it, and under the manipulation of Thunder Wheel power, it could become as soft as mud, allowing him to shape it into any form. However, once formed, it required a large amount of Thunder Wheel power to fix, and the Thunder Wheel power had to form a specific circuit.

After several days of contemplation, Lei Xingfeng finally understood some basics and realized that he was incapable of handling such a large piece of Thunder Release Gold. He cut off a small piece, about the size of a thumb.

Spending a day refining, Lei Xingfeng barely made a ring. This was the easiest to make. Through this ring, he could release a five-meter-long electric beam. He now understood that Thunder Wheel power was not just electricity as he knew it from his previous life; it was a form of energy, containing a large amount of electricity, which he was trying to comprehend.

His previous life's knowledge actually hindered his understanding of this life's Thunder Wheel power, requiring him to relearn and understand it.

Fortunately, the Star Python Record was there, and he gradually began to understand Thunder Wheel power.

After making the ring, Lei Xingfeng went to find the clan leader Hu Cangya, organizing another hunt. This time, Hu Cangya gathered more people, almost all the hunters, plus over a hundred young and strong women, totaling nearly four hundred people, who left Tiger Cliff Fort in a grand procession.

This time, they didn't go to the pond but to the place where the wild bulls gathered, only half a day's journey from Tiger Cliff Fort. They didn't dare to go too far.

The wild bulls' gathering place was about ten square kilometers of grassland, where all the trees had disappeared. The characteristic of wild bulls was that once startled, they would charge wildly, destroying the trees. In the end, a flat grassland was formed. Even large wild beasts dared not hunt the wild bulls here. On this small piece of land, thousands of wild bulls gathered.

Any wild beast only dared to hunt at the edge, never entering the grassland. Once startled, hundreds of wild bulls charging would trample any wild beast into mud.

Even the barbarians dared not enter, only hunting at the edge of the grassland, using the cover of the forest.

This time, Lei Xingfeng decided to hunt here, but he also didn't dare to hunt in the center of the grassland, planning to hunt at the edge, where there were more opportunities than at the pond.

The people of Tiger Cliff Fort stayed in the forest, finding a dense area to prevent the impact of a large herd of wild bulls. Lei Xingfeng led a dozen hunters to the edge of the grassland, and Ke Dashi and others followed.

As the main hunter, Lei Xingfeng had the authority to command all the hunters. He said, "We need to find a few large trees, um, trees that wild bulls can't destroy."

A hunter said, "I know where there are giant trees."

Soon, they arrived at several giant trees, each requiring four or five people to encircle. Lei Xingfeng thought for a moment and said, "I need more people, Uncle Ke, go call them."

Ke Dashi said, "Okay, how many people do you need?"

Lei Xingfeng calculated and said, "I need a hundred people."

Ke Dashi was stunned and said, "So many people? Alright, I'll go call them." He turned and headed into the dense forest.

A short while later, over a hundred hunters arrived, and Hu Cangya also came. This hunt was too important, and he couldn't stay in Tiger Cliff Fort. Moreover, the team needed his coordination, as Lei Xingfeng was too young, and he feared some hunters might not understand the gravity of the situation and offend the young man.

Hu Cangya said, "A Feng, we all follow your command."

Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, "I need you to dig pits."

Everyone was stunned, and a hunter couldn't help but say, "You want to dig traps? This... we've tried traps... they don't work."

Lei Xingfeng shook his head and said, "I'm not planning to dig traps. I want to dig..." He asked Ke Dashi for a short spear and quickly dug a one-foot-wide, two-foot-deep pit in the ground, saying, "Dig pits like this!"

Everyone was completely confused, and Hu Cangya shouted, "Everyone listen to A Feng. He's the main hunter, do as he says!"

Lei Xingfeng didn't explain and said, "Dig pits at this distance, one every meter, in a plum blossom pattern." The hunters didn't argue further but started digging pits according to Lei Xingfeng's instructions. These pits were easy for hunters to dig, and in less than an hour, the ground was covered with hundreds of pits.

Lei Xingfeng said, "Cover the surface with leaves and branches."

Horse traps.

This was a method Lei Xingfeng knew from his previous life to deal with galloping horses. He believed it would be equally effective against the wild bulls of this world. Although the wild bulls were more robust and had larger hooves, their weakness should be the same. With such a massive body, even the sturdy legs of a wild bull couldn't withstand this trick.
