The others trembled in fear, and regret could be seen on their faces.
They had always heard that the Subterranean Gallery was filled with treasures, and as long as one's luck wasn't too bad, they would be able to earn a fortune and obtain sufficient cultivation resources. Who could have thought that they would encounter such a formidable pack of wolves in less than an hour? Even the strongest among them, Wu Shi, was defeated in a single move.
If even he wasn't a match for them, what could they possibly do?
"Let's make a move together, or else we might really die here!"
An elder gritted his teeth as he took out a spear and infused his zhenqi into it. The tip of the spear pulsed with energy, reminiscent of a long snake.
His cultivation was only at Saint 4-dan Primordial Spirit realm primary stage, but he was able to utilize the might of his weapon. Had it been any other time, he would surely have won cheers from the crowd. However, in the eyes of the pack of wolves, he was nothing more than a joke.
Hu la!
One of the Mapleleaf Wolves made a move. Without needing the Wolf King to make a move, the ordinary gray wolf bit down lightly on the spear and swallowed it whole. At the same time, with a swipe of its paw, fresh blood spurted furiously from the wound on the elder's chest.
"Luo Gong!"
Seeing that he was injured, a middle-aged man beside him couldn't hold back any longer. He took out his weapon and rushed over as well. The others also understood that this was a matter of life and death, so they didn't dare to be careless. They all rushed forward and used their strongest moves.
Peng peng peng peng!
The sound of gunny sacks being torn echoed in the air, and those who charged forward were sent flying at an even faster speed. Their faces were covered in dust, and blood seeped from the corners of their lips.
The disparity in their strength was simply too great, and they were unfamiliar with the environment shrouded in the crimson moon.
Seeing how the men he had led were so helpless before him, despair surfaced on Wu Kuang's face.
If only he had known that this would happen, he would have come alone. At the very least, he would have been a smaller target, and he would have been able to adapt to the situation and escape.
Now, they were probably all going to die here, with no chance of escaping.
Just as he was thinking about how the wolves would deal with him, he suddenly noticed that the two men whom he had been unwilling to bring along earlier were still seated on the spot, not moving at all.
It was as if they hadn't noticed the arrival of the wolves.
"They …"
Just as Wu Kuang was about to fly into a rage, he sighed deeply. "Forget it. With their strength, it would be useless even if they charged forward …"
One of them was sickly and the other hadn't even reached Saint realm yet... Even he, a Seven Star pinnacle master teacher, was unable to stand against the Mapleleaf Wolves. What could they possibly do?
"Human master teacher, the energy in your body is extremely pure, so you should be able to nourish it greatly. Leave this to me, you can deal with the rest …"
Seeing that the crowd no longer had the strength to resist, the Wolf King harrumphed coldly and walked toward Wu Kuang.
Regardless of whether it was to the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe or the saint beasts living in the Master Teacher Continent, the pure zhenqi in the body of a master teacher was extremely nourishing.
"I didn't expect that I, Wu Kuang, would die here …"
Seeing the Wolf King getting closer and closer, Wu Kuang knew that he would not be able to escape. A trace of sorrow appeared in his eyes.
He had thought that with his identity as a Seven Star pinnacle master teacher, he would be able to achieve great things in the Subterranean Gallery. Yet, before he could even make a move, everything had already ended.
With that thought in mind, another surge of power surged out from Zhang Xuan's body, wanting to take the Wolf King down with him. Suddenly, the ground shook and a dull sound came from underground. No one knew where it came from, but it shook everyone's souls.
"Scram!"
Hong long!
The voice was cold and sinister, reminiscent of a tornado. The Wolf King and the other wolves felt goosebumps rising on their bodies, and they couldn't help but retreat several dozen steps. Their massive bodies trembled uncontrollably, and blood seeped from the corners of their mouths.
A single bellow actually injured all of them at the same time!
With fear in his eyes, the Wolf King hurriedly scanned his surroundings.
Under the cover of the crimson moon, there was not a single person in sight. A light breeze blew, and a chill crept into his body.
Even though the voice earlier was low, it felt as though it had pierced right into his soul. It felt as though he would be killed if he dared to make a move on these humans.
"Let's go!"
Knowing that this expert would make a move at any moment, the Wolf King trembled uncontrollably. In the end, he didn't dare to make a move on Wu Kuang and the others. Tucking his tail between his legs, he turned around and fled.
They were just a few human master teachers. No matter how delicious their meat was, it wasn't as valuable as his life.
"Elder, thank you for saving our lives …"
Seeing that the pack of wolves had left, Wu Kuang and the others glanced at one another, and a look of relief appeared on their faces. They quickly got up and kneeled to the ground.
Even though they had no idea where the elder was, given that he was able to communicate telepathically with them, he should have been able to see their actions and hear their gratitude.
After a long while of expressing their gratitude, no one appeared at all. It was as if the elder from before didn't exist at all.
"Wu Shi, what do we do now?"
Seeing that no one was responding, 'Luo Gong' turned to look at Zhang Xuan.
"The actions of an expert aren't something that we can fathom. Since you don't wish to meet us, you should hurry up and leave …"
Wu Kuang said after a moment of contemplation.
He had been expressing his gratitude to the other party, but the fact that the other party hadn't appeared meant that the other party wasn't willing to meet him.
"Un."
With the matter with the pack of wolves, the group knew that the area was dangerous, so they didn't dare to stay any longer.
After walking for an hour, they heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that there was no longer any danger.
After a moment of contemplation, Wu Shi said, "I know a place with medicinal herbs. Let's hurry over and return as soon as we obtain them. Otherwise, we would have come here for nothing!"
Since they were already here, they couldn't back down just because of the danger.
If they were to leave now, not only would they not be able to obtain anything, it would also affect their state of mind and their future cultivation, just like how soldiers would flee without a fight.
The group nodded in agreement.
"Before we set off, I would like to say a few words!"
A middle-aged man stepped forward.
The group turned their gazes over.
"It was dangerous earlier, but those two didn't move at all. They didn't contribute at all. I suggest that we don't bring them along anymore!"
The middle-aged man harrumphed coldly as he pointed to Zhang Xuan and Wu Chen.
When the pack of wolves first arrived, those two fellows had been feigning death on the ground. They didn't have the slightest fighting prowess … Now that they were going to search for medicinal herbs, they actually chose to follow them. Their skin sure was thick!
"Indeed, we mustn't bring them along!"
"They're completely useless. They'll only be a burden!"
A few others nodded in agreement.
They were here on an adventure, and the stronger the group, the better. Those two couldn't do anything at all, and yet, they still insisted on following them. Were they really going to split a portion of the medicinal herbs with them?
Hearing the words of the crowd, Wu Kuang frowned. He turned to the duo and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"
It wasn't that he didn't want to bring them along, but the performance of those two when they encountered the wolf pack was simply too lacking.
"I have nothing to say …"
Just as Wu Chen was about to speak, Zhang Xuan waved his hands.
"Hurry up and scram then!"
The middle-aged man bellowed coldly.
"Take care of yourselves …"
Seeing that the crowd was unhappy, Zhang Xuan shook his head and clasped his fist. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly felt a powerful aura pressing down on him from the sky. Following which, a massive vulture slowly descended from the sky.
