Chapter 383: Chapter 268: Creating a Grave_2

The agonized screams escalated quickly, but within moments, the convulsing body ceased its movements. Instead, the beast’s figure collapsed on the ground, with the final breath slipping from its twisted lips; the will to live had entirely left it.

In Deng Wu and Sha Yun’s eyes, there was a glimmer of excitement, but the frustration in Wang Julong’s gaze was evident due to her abilities not being utilized.

Deng Wu extinguished the flames with a cancellation inscription, then approached the beast, followed closely by Yan Xiaobao and the others.

This beast was like a treasure trove, teeming with valuables that would prove useful in the future.

First came the high-quality meat, its sheer quantity astounding. Properly dried, it could easily replenish Deng Wu’s storage ring, which he had emptied earlier during a trade.

The fur was softer than any they had encountered before. Though uncertain about future challenges, Yan Xiaobao decided to skin the beast to prepare warmer garments, should the need arise. Even with Sha Yun’s claws riddled with holes, the material remained of superior quality, and he was happy to accept it.

The beast core shimmered a pristine white, signifying the creature’s pure cultivation. Such specimens were increasingly rare and explained the intelligence Yan Xiaobao had observed earlier.

Though beast cores of this caliber fetched a high price, Yan Xiaobao promptly handed it to Deng Wu, as it was one of the essential items for crafting new inscription patterns. One day, these high-grade inscriptions could save them in a dire situation.

Gazing at the fallen wolf, Yan Xiaobao knew the bones were another significant resource. With a chuckle, he crouched down and began to disassemble the beast, treating every part as though it were a priceless treasure.

The three friends were accustomed to Yan Xiaobao’s meticulous work; they all collaborated harmoniously, like a single entity operating in perfect sync.

Wang Julong and Deng Wu retrieved wood from their storage rings to build a fire. Sha Yun used her innate connection with the earth to scout the area and set protective traps.

After completing her tasks, Sha Yun’s face turned pale. She quietly approached Yan Xiaobao, tapping him gently on the shoulder. In a hushed, uneasy tone, she said, "I don’t want to alarm you, but... a lot of wolves are heading our way. Truly a lot."

Upon hearing Sha Yun’s warning, Yan Xiaobao immediately stopped dismantling the wolf’s corpse. He placed one hand on the stone floor, melding with it to scout the tunnels ahead.

Just as Sha Yun had said, when Yan Xiaobao swiftly returned to his body, a cold smirk spread across his face.

Contemplating his next move, Yan Xiaobao motioned for the others to retreat to their starting position, where the tunnels narrowed. In the face of a colossal Wolf Pack, limiting the number of simultaneous combatants was strategically advantageous.

Taking up the rear, Wang Julong scattered her plant seeds on the ground once more. This time, she invoked only two spells: one for poppy flowers and another to sprout tree trunks beneath the stone floor.

With a sigh, Deng Wu swept a hand across his storage stone and picked up a stack of mid-tier inscriptions.

These inscriptions were powered by spiritual energy, but none matched the potency of the ones he had used on the earlier wolf. Lacking the luxury to deplete his cultivation base further, Deng Wu opted for the pre-made inscriptions instead.

Sitting on a stone chair, Sha Yun no longer appeared complacent. Instead, she concentrated on drawing energy from her beast core, readying a torrent of earthen spikes to impale wave after wave of wolves.

Yan Xiaobao was the only one who had yet to prepare. In his right hand, he gripped his black blood dagger. Infusing it with a small amount of spiritual energy, he circulated both his spiritual energy and Qi through his meridians, prepared to deliver the wolves a decisive blow if the others faltered.

At the narrow tunnel entrance, only one wolf could attack at a time. While this strategy was safer, it underscored the importance of preserving spiritual energy for Xu Yue and the others. Should their energy run out before the Wolf Pack was vanquished, they would face disastrous consequences.

As a training exercise and to conserve energy, the group quickly devised a strategy to defeat five wolves before rotating out. This ensured a reserve of energy among them, allowing someone to intervene should a high-rank beast appear or an unexpected danger arise.

A deep growl echoed as a wolf tested its luck, creeping toward the poisonous flowers and the young adventurers standing behind them.

Its eyes glinted with intelligence, much like the previous wolves’, and its sharp fangs seemed to sneer as it drew closer at a deliberate pace.

The flowers bloomed gorgeously under the light that streamed from the light stone, and Yan Xiaobao couldn’t help but feel a flicker of anticipation as he awaited the Wolf Pack’s charge.

The wolf gazed warily at the flowers, and as if recognizing their toxicity, it took a deep breath and held it while advancing through the floral barrier.

Yan Xiaobao had never witnessed Wang Julong’s abilities in action before, and he watched her with curious bewilderment. What would happen if the wolf overcame her flowers?

Turning to look at Wang Julong, Yan Xiaobao opened his mouth to speak, but before he could utter a word, a tortured howl resounded from within the flower field.

Yan Xiaobao whirled back around, his eyes widening in astonishment as the wolf disintegrated while still alive.
