Chapter 642 Hunter (2).
Shi Lang rushed out of the tree hollow with lightning energy covering his body. The wolves noticed him, and, following the Alpha’s howl, they all bared their fangs at him. The terran had yet to land on the ground when the leaves began to surge toward him from all sides.
He would not have spared a second thought if it were simple leaves, but these leaves were life-threatening weapons. In the task scroll he had received from the Moon Night Diner, he had discovered that the Leaf Wolves specialized in shredding their prey when it was alive. They will feast on the shreds of what was left behind.
This bizarre way of hunting surprised Shi Lang, but he realized that this method was probably more efficient since Leaf Wolves had big packs numbering from thirty to forty members each. They might need to hunt more than a few prey to meet the needs of the entire pack.
Shredded meat was easy to digest and quick to eat. However, now was not the time for him to admire the ingenuity of the enemy. Wolves were very compassionate. Once they know who killed their kin, they will all hate you. Shi Lang did not wish to be entangled with all this.
The leaves were burned to ashes when they came into contact with his body. Shi Lang watched the Alpha wolf and found that not only were the coats of these guys very similar to the leaves on the trees, but they also had a few wooden twigs sticking out of them. This made the wolves look similar to bushes in the forest.
He swung his spear, and the lightning energy condensed in a visible arc before it hit a wolf nearby. Shi Lang did not stop there and began dancing with his weapon swinging along. Arcs of lightning energy assaulted the charging wolves. However, the Alpha had yet to enter the battle in the true sense. It was only watching Shi Lang with a cold and cruel gaze.
This made Shi Lang feel odd because he was sure that this guy was not just the biggest wolf of the pack but also the most cunning. The eyes of the wolf gave away his intelligence.
The terran was not overly cautious. He could tell the guy would sneak up on him when he took his mind off the Alpha. This could lead him to be severely injured. Shi Lang did not wish to hinder his progress, so he let out a light shout, “Lighting Rain.”
His spear turned into afterimages as he attacked the wolves. His speed was not the only thing that made this attack lethal but also the damage from the lightning energy. The attack was enough to destroy the internal organs of the wolves.
They fell to the ground with painful growls. This sequence of displays from Shi Lang enraged the Alpha. The beast vanished from its place and appeared behind the terran. Shi Lang could sense every moment of the beast, and he swung his spear in an arc, and the sharp head landed two inches before the beast.
The wolf had a good sense of danger and flinched back when the attack was coming his way. Shi Lang raised his brow, and the next moment, he stabbed forward with the spear. The lightning radiating from the tip pushed the Alpha wolf into passive defense.
The other wolves tried to attack but were even more scared of Shi Lang than their leader. The Alpha had a higher bloodline purity and, thus, could dodge the attacks. As for the other wolves, even if they managed to avoid a death blow, they were severely injured.
The terran did not wish to waste any more time on this group of wolves. It was already evening, and he needed to feed Yu Xiedi. He did not forget that his disciple was here, too. The Alpha sensed danger increasing, and it howled. Its body scattered and broke down in small leaves. These leaves surprised Shi Lang. He did not expect something like this.
He held his spear and looked around vigilantly as he mumbled, “Turns out that the Beast Lord is not that easy to deal with.”
The wolf before him was comparable to the Immortal Lord. This level was not easy to achieve for a spirit beast, and the skills it displayed contained a trace of dao laws. Shi Lang could tell that it was the Laws of the wind that the beast had touched upon. Thinking about this, he was almost driven to use his skills, too, but he decided not to.
He wanted to save the card for grave situations. He said, “Lightning Domain.”
The boundary of lightning appeared around Shi Lang. The flying leaves became slow, and the terran spotted a silhouette floating amidst them. He narrowed his gaze and stabbed his spear. He did not stab where the silhouette was, but he predicted the spot it was going to be and stabbed forward.
As he stabbed the silhouette, a painful howl echoed. The leaves around Shi Lang had been moving slowly because of the domain. However, they were still fast enough to cut him, and as they were getting closer to him.
After the howl, the leaves gradually condensed back into the beast’s body, and the beast fell to the ground. The spear was stabbed into the heart of the wolf. Shi Lang smiled and twisted it. The clear eyes of the beast became hazy in an instant.
Shi Lang looked around and found that only a few wolves were alive. They witnessed the demise of the Alpha, and they lost all their will to fight. A gaze from Shi Lang, and they ran away.
However, Shi Lang did not intend to let these guys go away. They would not give up on hating him, and they could come after him. Hatred was a strong force that could drive mountains away. He chased after them and killed them quickly. 𝓞𝓋𝑳xt.𝔠𝗈𝐦
After everything was done, Shi Lang kept all the beast corpses in his space ring and left. While rushing toward Yu Xiedi, he sensed someone invading the protection boundary around the tree. His speed increased exponentially. When he reached the tree, he found a group of cultivators looking at the tree curiously.
He yelled, “Who are you?!”
