The distance between Zi Chen and the Moon Wolf King was not too far. Under normal circumstances, Zi Chen would be able to reach the peak of the mountain and reach the Moon Wolf King with just a few leaps.
However, at this moment, there were many Moon Wolves blocking their path. Furthermore, many of these Moon Wolves had already launched their attacks.
The Moon Wolf King deduced that this human could not even take care of himself. It was impossible for him to cross such a long distance to kill it.
The Moon Wolf King's expression just now was one of mockery and disdain, expressing its disdain for the human.
This was because the human had miscalculated and had to pay the price.
The Moon Wolf King stopped smiling and opened its mouth to issue a new order.
Once this order was issued, it was time for the human to pay the price for his miscalculation.
Not only would the human not be able to kill it, but he would also cause other humans to die because of this foolish decision.
The Moon Wolf King opened its mouth and issued an order to send some of the Moon Wolves back to kill the other humans in the cave.
The Moon Wolf King saw the human's smile in response, but it did not pay much attention to it.
With its intelligence, it could not tell that the human was a threat to it at all. Therefore, it thought that the human's smile was one of extreme anger.
It opened its mouth and was about to issue an order when it suddenly felt a sense of danger.
This sense of danger was very strong and came without warning. It could not quickly determine where the threat came from.
However, due to its innate sensitivity, it leaped to the side of the mountain peak. This was its body's natural reaction.
Swoosh!
Just as it left its original spot, a black light appeared where it had been standing. It was very fast and disappeared in a flash.
A hint of fear flashed through the Moon Wolf King's mocking eyes. It was obvious that if it had reacted a little slower, its head would have been pierced by the black light.
'What was that black light? A human's hidden weapon?'
The Moon Wolf King, who possessed extraordinary intelligence, guessed inwardly. At the same time, it was glad that it had reacted quickly.
It looked at the human again with fear and even more killing intent. This time, the human did not kill it, so it would kill all the humans here.
It looked at the human, who happened to be looking at it at the same time. The human's snow-white teeth were still bared, and the smile on his face did not weaken at all.
The Moon Wolf King could not understand this smile. Its attack had clearly missed.
Of course, there was no need for it to understand.
That was because the flash of black light had changed direction in an instant and was rapidly approaching.
This time, the Moon Wolf King's reaction was not faster than the black light.
"Pu!"
The black light instantly pierced through the Moon Wolf King's head.
The doubt in the Moon Wolf King's cold eyes froze.
Its eyes stared at Zi Chen, and then became lifeless.
"Bang!"
It fell from the top of the mountain and lost all signs of life. After tumbling for a while, it stopped not far from Zi Chen.
The black light that pierced through the Moon Wolf King's head turned into a flying dagger and circled around Zi Chen before returning to his sleeve.
With the death of the Moon Wolf King, there was a brief moment of silence. The gazes of the Moon Wolves were fixed on the dead Moon Wolf King. There was no grief, only silence.
Zi Chen stood where he was, his sweat mixed with his blood. The broken saber in his hand was also dripping with blood.
With an indifferent gaze, he swept his gaze across the Moon Wolves who had lost their leader. These Moon Wolves, who had shown no fear of death before, now had obvious fear in their eyes as they began to slowly retreat.
"As expected!"
Looking at the retreating Moon Wolves, Zi Chen's heart skipped a beat. The courage of these Moon Wolves indeed came from the Moon Wolf King.
After realizing this, he turned around and strode towards the cave.
As he moved forward, he did not put up any defenses. He just swaggered forward.
However, the Moon Wolves did not dare to take the opportunity to attack. Instead, they kept retreating.
Zi Chen returned to the cave and sat down cross-legged.
Seeing Zi Chen reappear and sit down cross-legged while the Moon Wolves were nowhere to be seen, Xiu Qi and the others were very surprised.
"Where are the Moon Wolves? Have they all left?" Xiu Qi asked. There was an uncontrollable excitement in her voice.
If the Moon Wolves had really retreated, then they had really struck it rich this time. These Moon Wolf corpses could be exchanged for a lot of resources.
"Come out and take a look." Zi Chen, who was sitting cross-legged with his back facing the cave, said.
The excited Xiu Qi immediately scurried out. However, when he walked out of the cave, he was dumbfounded.
This was because there was still a dense pack of Moon Wolves in his line of sight. Although they did not immediately attack, they did not retreat either. Instead, they stood a few hundred meters away from Zi Chen, facing each other.
"What did you do? They seem to be very afraid of you." Xiu Jin, who had just walked out, asked.
"I just killed the Moon Wolf King!"
Zi Chen's words shocked the four of them. However, this was clearly not the time to ask about the details of the battle. Xiu Qi asked, "Since the Moon Wolf King is gone, why haven't they retreated?"
"Who knows? Maybe they are waiting for a new Moon Wolf King to arrive.
Get me some food first. I used too much energy just now. "Zi Chen, who was sitting cross-legged to recover, said.
When Xiu Qi heard this, he immediately turned around and returned to the cave to get the dry rations and water that he had already prepared.
Tang Pu said coldly, "These damned bastards want to eat us? Then let's eat their companions first. I want to roast wolf meat!
Drink wolf blood! "
"Let's just eat the dry rations. Doing so will only anger them. It won't do us any good.
When they retreat, we will be truly safe. "
Zi Chen stopped Tang Pu's actions. Doing so would only be a temporary relief. However, it would be very troublesome in the future.
Wiping away the blood on his face, Zi Chen took a piece of biscuit from Xiu Qi's hand. Ignoring the blood on his hand, he ate it.
"What should we do?" Looking at the countless Moon Wolves, Xiu Qi's expression was bitter.
"Replenish our energy and conserve it." Zi Chen, who was eating the biscuit and drinking water, said.
If the Moon Wolves did not retreat, the battle would not end.
When the new Wolf King arrived, it would be time for the battle to resume.
Another two hours passed. Zi Chen, who had rested for two hours, had recovered a lot of energy.
At this moment, the sky was already turning white. It was as if the sky was about to brighten.
"I really didn't expect that we would be able to see the sun the next day after encountering the Moon Wolves." Xiu Jin looked at the white sky and could not help but sigh.
"This is indeed a miracle. However, if we can see the sun rise the day after tomorrow, we might have a chance of survival." Xiu Qi said.
The Moon Wolves' hunting time was very short. Under normal circumstances, they could ransack an area in a day or two, so they would not stay for too long.
Now, they only hoped that the Moon Wolves would leave quickly after ransacking.
Of course, this was just pure hope. Perhaps the Moon Wolves would not leave until they took them down.
Before the sky was completely bright, Zi Chen heard a whining sound. The new Moon Wolf King had appeared.
These Moon Wolves, who had always been afraid of Zi Chen, seemed to forget their fear when they heard the Moon Wolf King's voice. They pounced at Zi Chen.
Another fierce battle began. Xiu Qi and the other three hid in the cave and watched anxiously but helplessly.
Just like before, Zi Chen continued his slaughter, quietly changing his direction in the midst of the slaughter. However, every time he moved slightly further away from the cave, a Moon Wolf would launch an attack at the cave.
At the same time, the whining sound did not appear in the same place. Sometimes, it would appear in the east and sometimes in the west.
Clearly, this new Moon Wolf King was more cunning and difficult to deal with.
After knowing that the Moon Wolf King was the Moon Wolves' weakness, Zi Chen did not care too much.
In any case, these Moon Wolves were temporarily unable to charge into the cave. Therefore, after guessing the approximate location of the Moon Wolf King, Zi Chen left again.
This time, the moment Zi Chen moved, the Moon Wolves split into two groups. One group attacked Zi Chen while the other attacked the cave. During this time, some used force to move the boulder, while others continued to dig.
When the sky was completely bright, Zi Chen changed directions three times before he finally sensed the unique Moon Wolf King.
However, there were too many Moon Wolves guarding the Moon Wolf King, so it was impossible for him to charge over.
Fortunately, Zi Chen did not need to charge forward. All he needed to do was pretend that he was charging forward.
Pfft!
While charging forward, Zi Chen controlled the throwing knife. It was like a beam of light that shuttled between the Moon Wolves. In the end, the throwing knife pierced through the Moon Wolf King's eye and came out from the back of its head.
The second Moon Wolf King was dead!
Zi Chen still had 13 drops of Sacred Source Liquid left.
Zi Chen did not know if it was because the hunt was coming to an end or if they had sensed trouble, but after the second Moon Wolf King died, he saw the Moon Wolves charging forward again.
This time, Zi Chen did not hear the Moon Wolf King's commands. However, these Moon Wolves had the courage to not fear death.
This time, after expending four drops of Sacred Source Liquid, Zi Chen found the Moon Wolf King and used the throwing knife to kill it.
This time, the throwing knife did not go smoothly, as the Moon Wolf King was extremely vigilant. Over a dozen Moon Wolves had sacrificed themselves to save him, causing Zi Chen a lot of trouble.
Now, Zi Chen still had nine drops of Sacred Source Liquid left.
In the cave, Xiu Qi and the other three only had one drop of Sacred Source Liquid left.
...
...
Thirty miles to the south of where Zi Chen was fighting, there was a plain.
The Moon Wolves that had returned from their hunt had all stopped here. In addition to the countless Moon Wolves, there were also dozens of Moon Wolf Kings. After returning to the plain, they would involuntarily glance in a certain direction with obvious reverence in their eyes.
In that direction, there was an even larger Moon Wolf King. Its eyes were cold and deep, just like a wise man among humans.
At the moment, a Moon Wolf King was crouching in front of it, reporting something to it in wolf language.
When the largest Moon Wolf King heard the report from the Moon Wolf King beside it, it turned its head and looked in a certain direction. Its deep, human-like eyes glinted coldly.
The Moon Wolf King was looking in the direction of Zi Chen's battle.
At the same time, Zi Chen heard the voices of four Moon Wolf Kings from four different directions.
