Chapter 74

Fang Yi, who had landed on the ground, immediately rolled and quickly crouched down, his eyes catching sight of the Druid who had rushed out right behind him. The Druid was agile enough~ The Druid in front of him leaped out of the carriage, but it was clear that he had used some kind of spell, landing softly and steadily on the ground, looking much more graceful than Fang Yi.

The out-of-control carriage crashed into a large tree at an angle, and the thick, thorny bushes on the ground pierced through the wooden carriage, making it look thoroughly cold. Under the moonlight, a group of shadowy figures could be seen surrounding the carriage, and in the silent wilderness, only the neighing of the two horses remained.

Fang Yi thought it was bad luck, encountering an accident on his first night out. The NPC driver hadn't made a sound from the beginning, so he was probably in a bad state. He greeted the Druid in front of him and asked, "Want to team up?" The enemy situation was unclear, and having a Druid with wilderness survival skills nearby would significantly increase safety.

However, the straight-standing Druid put away his staff, glanced at Fang Yi with a slight disdain, and turned to dive into the forest, clearly having some kind of forest traversal skill.

"Damn, what are you being so proud about, man..." Fang Yi sighed, feeling extremely unlucky and unfortunate, and drew his dual blades, entering stealth mode.

In "Miracle," there was no map exploration function while riding in a carriage. Before having a mount, players could only explore unknown areas on foot. So in this desolate wilderness, the map only showed a small dot representing Fang Yi himself, and the rest was as dark as the forest in front of him, with no place names.

The two who had jumped off the carriage did not escape the eyes of the night creatures. A rustling sound approached from a distance, and something was sprinting toward the spot where they had landed. The Druid could enter the forest because he had forest traversal skills and a series of animal-related skills, as well as low-light vision, making him fearless in the wild. Fang Yi, however, did not immediately enter the forest to hide but crouched in the grass, secretly observing the cause of the accident.

Three creatures similar to dire wolves appeared, but they were much larger, with bodies about 8 feet long. Under the moonlight, it was hard to see the color of their fur, but the red eyes of the wolf pack floated in the darkness, allowing Fang Yi to clearly identify their positions.

Fang Yi's level 4 detection skill proved useful at this moment, but the information it provided was not optimistic, causing his brows to furrow.

Ferocious Wolf

Level/Class: 13/Warrior

Challenge Level: 12 (solo), 15+ (group of 3 or more)

There were only three in front of him, but Fang Yi didn't know how many more were still coming. Seeing the three ferocious wolves sniffing around and slowly approaching his hiding spot, Fang Yi glanced at the dark forest beside him and sighed: "I still have to go into the forest; I can't outrun these four-legged creatures on the plain."

Before the ferocious wolves got too close, Fang Yi, in stealth mode, silently slipped into the forest, using the weak moonlight under the tree shadows to move deeper into the woods.

He had just sent offline messages to Caisangren and Heishan Xiaoyao, informing them that he might be late, when Fang Yi, hiding in the lush tree canopy, noticed the enemy trailing him: the ferocious wolf's padded paws made no sound as they stepped on the ground, its large head lowered, and its sensitive nose sniffing around the trees, searching for the mysteriously vanished enemy.

This ferocious wolf had been tracking Fang Yi for a long time, and he had refrained from attacking to avoid alerting other wolf packs. Now that it was alone... Fang Yi flicked his right hand, and the small stone he had been holding hit the trunk of a nearby tree accurately. The ferocious wolf's head jerked up, and it immediately crouched down, preparing to crawl toward the source of the sound.

Fang Yi, perched above the ferocious wolf, seized the opportunity and leaped down. As his body landed on the wolf's back, he plunged the elven dagger into the wolf's neck, and the Bloodflow short sword slashed at the long snout.

Two critical hits caused massive damage numbers to pop up, and the Bloodflow's slash triggered a critical hit, instantly freezing the ferocious wolf's long jaw with a white frost. Just as Fang Yi was about to raise his short sword for a second strike, he felt a powerful force from below, and his body was involuntarily launched into the air. His left hand, holding the elven dagger, went numb, and he was thrown away.

"Damn, it's so strong..." Fang Yi adjusted his balance and landed on the ground, ignoring the pain in his ribs, and immediately rushed back to the enemy. The severely injured ferocious wolf moved slowly and weakly, and its seemingly fierce attack was easily dodged by Fang Yi, who then stabbed it in the abdomen.

"You're not dead yet!" Fang Yi's right short sword twisted, and the damage numbers -22 and -37 shot up. The ferocious wolf's life finally ran out, and it howled and collapsed to the ground.

Fang Yi pulled the elven dagger from the ferocious wolf's neck, intending to use the harvesting skill, but he subconsciously checked the combat log and was taken aback. He left the wolf's corpse and quickly disappeared into the night.

"Interesting..." Fang Yi, in stealth mode, looked at the combat log and thought.

Combat Log:

Your attack caused 37 physical damage to the ferocious wolf (second hit).

You killed the ferocious wolf.

Since the ferocious wolf is a summon of a warlock, any attacks by the warlock on you in the next hour will be considered self-defense.

No prompt for the player, so it must be an NPC warlock? A warlock in the forest... Fang Yi sensed something unusual.

Soon, a tall and robust ferocious wolf emerged from the shadows, looked around alertly, then approached the wolf's corpse, sniffed it, and circled it a few times. After a moment, it lifted its head and sprinted in a specific direction.

Fang Yi, hiding in the shadows, saw everything clearly. After the ferocious wolf's figure disappeared into the bushes, Fang Yi followed in its direction.

The ferocious wolf moved intermittently, circling in the forest. Initially, Fang Yi thought it had noticed someone following, but he soon dismissed this idea: the summoned monster was clearly searching for something, perhaps for him?

Just as Fang Yi was about to lose patience and finish it off, the ferocious wolf suddenly seemed to receive an order and started sprinting in a specific direction. Fang Yi followed closely, initially maintaining a safe distance, but eventually, he couldn't keep up and had to run at full speed. Even so, he soon lost sight of the ferocious wolf.

As Fang Yi was feeling frustrated, a few wolf howls suddenly echoed through the dark forest, their high-pitched sounds piercing the quiet. Soon, an explosion's rumble came from the right front. Fang Yi determined the direction and immediately ran toward the source of the sound.
