Chương 32: Escaping from wolves

Standing on top of a tree, Wang had his vigilance as he observed the area around him, he had asked Ruruo about the place to hunt and got an answer so he visited at night. The moon was out, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to see if a breakthrough in blood forging was something that could happen tonight.

During this period in practice, internal energy seems to accumulate faster and it has some golden tinge to it. It is cold but he can not utilize blood energy or he would be announcing his location, the internal energy circulated from his dantian, it still had that vague look like fog but with yellow patterns to it that run along his meridians and push the cold away, keeping him warm.

The moment he accumulated internal energy to some extent using the ginseng he tried to use it in internal organ strengthening and the effect is very negligible. Perhaps only when it turns into true Qi is that even possible and that can only happen when one is in the grandmaster stage.

He jumped from the tree branch and nimbly landed, starting to check out the direction to go, as his head was put against the ground, he had learned some basics from Ruruo as their relationship has indeed improved over time.

He was listening to any movements, and he changed direction several times because of this, and when he suddenly had some significant gains and rushed there, only to discover he had entered a wolf's den. In this place, every direction has some glowing eyes, and deep blue color seemed to shine in the dark.

With the numerous pair of eyes covering him from every direction, Wang seemed to instinctively assume the pose of the White Tiger Fist, ready to skip into action any time and also serve as intimidation.

"This is going to be more than just a challenge, seeing how they are eying me it seems that they have not eaten meat for a while now. But I also have some interest in them, as the records indicated that consuming monster meat could speed up the cultivation speed in the blood-forging realm. However, I need to be careful, after all these wolves have a leader with them probably hiding somewhere around here giving orders, the most effective way is to take out the leader if this was a war. But in this jungle, it would be hard to find them unless it exposed itself."

Wang was very vigilant towards wolves since they were creatures he preferred to not meet especially on such a night, but their meat seemed to have an even better effect on the blood-forging realm than pills. In that case, as much as his vigilance was in play, he had some greed for their meat. Eating something with immense benefits to his cultivation in that way seems to be in no way something he can think twice about. The biggest issue was whether he could actually kill them.

"However, it seems that something is not right, how could a group of wolves be gathered here like this, I did not attract their attention thus something else did. Besides, this group does not seem to be moving to attack me at all, but just observing as though waiting for something to happen." He could see that the eyes reflected in the shadows did not only represent the wolves.

No wonder he was very cautious about these wolves, and yet he could not see anything around him that seemed of value. Or it is important to say he failed to see what was making all these creatures in the vicinity gather together at this time of the night, The wolves are obviously inhabitants in the nearby region and something must have attracted them and at the same time scared them.

From the information, he had read about medical herbs he managed to get some data about monsters as some guards near some important spirit herbs and in the case of wolves he saw some descriptions and it made him sure that they had the same habit as humans, to wait until a herb matures and come to compete for it. In all cases, he never saw a herb being guarded by wolves from the collection but most of the herbs seemed more attractive to them. After all, unless the bloodline of a wolf is unique, they can develop in any direction and their evolution is not fixed.

More surprisingly, this is the fact that these wolves held back when they saw him even though he could feel that such a large number of wolves would not be capable of completely satisfying their consumption needs daily. In any way, it would be unrealistic to think that the wolves were not interested in tasting his flesh, and the fact that they were drooling yet staying still made him very wary of where he was standing.

But things did not disappoint him as he saw them showing signs of retreat, and before he could figure out what was going on, his back felt some chill. With the wolves quickly disappearing in the darkness as though retreating, he knew he was already in danger and had no time to turn back. Unlike the wolves, whatever was behind him seemed to target him and he was sure that escape was probably impossible, and turning his head would be even more detrimental to him in this situation and his heartbeat seemed to accelerate.

For some reason, his body almost went stiff, but he put himself together, as someone that did not want to die again, immaturely. In this case, he analyzes things more and more of the choices he makes but some things such as coming to this forest is not something that he can just not do, otherwise, his strength will take more time to get resources and combat experience. When he felt the wind coming towards him, he jumped to the left, by pushing his body to move. He then turned with his fist swinging towards the direction he felt the threat coming from.

"Boom!"

A collision seemed to happen and Wang retreated but on the other side, a shadow seemed to be coming toward him rather than retreating. Despite being panicked, Wang did not show it on his face and retreated while blocking with his hands. But he only felt some claw marks on his hands, and this situation seemed to be forcing him to retreat continuously. And when the claws were about to land this time his foot released a kick. But in the end, only managed to knock it back four meters back. The shadow rolled down three times before looking at him, and he felt some murderous intent in the air.

He could have sworn he heard some whimper, but the black shadow seemed to be using its claws to dig in the ground as though it wanted to launch another but heard some sound from the bushes and around. This made him very vigilant and he retreated very fast.

In the beginning, he did not even discover the existence of this creature at all and it seemed that it was the one that made others retreat, or so he thought but he just felt some oppression when he was fighting this monster. The first thought in his mind was to retreat instantly, and he could see that the creature he was fighting had the same thoughts as him.

He knew that if he delayed he might not be able to escape from this place and thus he instantly burst out with all his speed and took a direction, by using trees as a cover, not caring what would happen or what was happening to the creature behind him.

Because he knew that things were going way beyond his control and he might not be capable of gaining anything at this moment. And it wasn't until he had covered some distance had been covered that the owner of the strong bloodline oppression arrived, and it does not find anything important. As his figure disappeared in the dark, he could still hear shrills from his back but did not even turn back, he was moving fast shuttling between trees and bushes.

As he escaped he remembered the battle and his face was slightly pale. Though the battle was not that long and occurred in less than half a cup of tea, both parties seemed to have received some losses. Seeing the wounds on his hands, Wang seemed to have paid some price in this collision and no gains. The blood flowing from the wounds on his hands

After traveling for some distance he went ahead to relax by the tree branch, with the thought that the enemy chasing behind them probably was more interested in the creature he was fighting. In that case, he would be grateful since someone was helping him take this pot. At the same time, he was just about to close his eyes when he looked to the right, only to see
