#153 - Chapter 152 Hunting
"Senior, they seem to be waiting for their companions. Why don't we speed up and fly away? Once we leave this mountainous area, they probably won't chase us anymore," Min Huiye suggested softly, swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva to moisten his dry throat.
"Don't rush. Brother Ape, do you sense anything unusual?" Zhang Yuanjing carefully observed the Howling Moon Wolves, noticing that they were mostly staring in the direction they were traveling, and asked Ape Thirteen behind him.
Ape Thirteen, now calm, twitched its large ears and conveyed its thoughts: "There's movement, like the sound of large-bodied demonic beasts running… Hmm, more and more!"
"Which direction?"
"Ahead!"
"Flying swords, ascend, but not too high. Quick!"
The two humans and one ape summoned their flying swords and flew into the air for more than ten zhang. Looking around, they were all shocked. On the narrow mountain path ahead, hundreds of miles away, more than a dozen wild bull-like demonic beasts were running wildly, followed by a dark mass, actually one hundred and several tens of Howling Moon Wolves. Looking at the mountain slopes on both sides, there were also twenty or thirty Howling Moon Wolves chasing after them.
"Thunder Horn Bulls!" Min Huiye exclaimed the name of the wild bull demonic beast, a greedy glint flashing in his eyes. "Their whole bodies are treasures. Their blood is like quicksilver, which can be used to refine pills. Their bones are like crystal copper, which can be used to refine weapons. Their hides are tough and excellent materials for refining defensive equipment. Especially their pair of hard horns, which contain thunder power, are top-grade materials for refining thunder-attribute magical tools!"
Zhang Yuanjing looked carefully. The Thunder Horn Bulls were extremely large. Even from hundreds of miles away, he could clearly see the strong muscles on their bodies. This beast had two forked curved horns on its head, a single eye between its brows as large as a flat peach, a body two zhang long and one zhang tall, and a very long tail, quite similar to a snake's tail. The leading one seemed to be injured, with spots of light on its body, which were streaks of silver blood.
"The Howling Moon Wolf pack is hunting. We'll cross over from the sky and land ahead," Zhang Yuanjing said to Min Huiye and Ape Thirteen, pointing to the road behind the wolf pack, after understanding the situation and feeling relieved.
Min Huiye also knew that safety was the priority and that he should not be greedy, so he immediately nodded in agreement.
Ape Thirteen took a deep breath with its nose and conveyed a thought: "The blood on these demonic bulls smells so good. I want to eat it."
Zhang Yuanjing was stunned and asked, "How much do you want?"
"Just the lead one. Its blood is the best and can help me enhance my bloodline power," Ape Thirteen licked its lips, its fierce eyes shooting out a look of craving.
"Then let's observe the situation first and act when the opportunity arises! Huiye, focus on watching the surrounding night sky. If any flying creatures appear, warn us immediately!"
Min Huiye was slightly surprised to hear this, but he didn't ask any further questions. He simply responded with a yes and climbed up two zhang, using his magic power to assist his eyes and scanning back and forth across the four directions and the dense forest below.
Zhang Yuanjing didn't know the strength of those Thunder Horn Bulls, but robbing food from the mouths of more than a hundred Howling Moon Wolves was undoubtedly very dangerous. Ape Thirteen might be able to protect itself, but he and Min Huiye could be buried in the wolves' mouths at any time.
"Awoo—!" A sharp howl suddenly came from the wolf pack. The Howling Moon Wolves on the mountain slopes on both sides began to charge towards the Thunder Horn Bulls.
The Howling Moon Wolves' speed talent was fully unleashed at this moment. The wolf pack, which was originally three or four miles away, rushed from the side to a position level with the bull herd like lightning, and then suddenly plunged into the herd, attacking the six or seven demonic bulls running at the rear.
At this time, twenty or thirty wolves also rushed out from the wolf pack directly behind, accelerating forward.
In terms of individual combat power, one Thunder Horn Bull could fight ten wolves. However, in the process of high-speed running, the huge demonic bulls could only barely avoid vital points, choosing to withstand the wolf claws attacking other parts of their bodies.
The claws of the Howling Moon Wolves were very sharp. Once they hit firmly, they would always leave a few wounds, seeping out spots of silver blood, with a fishy and pungent smell, stimulating the Howling Moon Wolves to become even more violent.
The wolf pack behind quickly approached the bull herd, but they only followed closely, not rushing into it. If any Thunder Horn Bull slowed down due to the entanglement of the Howling Moon Wolves, they would immediately pounce on it and attack it in groups. Although the Thunder Horn Bulls kicked with their hooves, rammed with their bodies, and flew sideways, they could only hold on for two or three breaths before staggering and falling. Once a Thunder Horn Bull fell, these Howling Moon Wolves would ignore it and continue to follow the bull herd in front to besiege the remaining Thunder Horn Bulls that fell behind.
Any Thunder Horn Bull that fell once, even if it could struggle to get up, could no longer pick up speed and was soon swallowed by the large force of wolves coming from behind, like a large stone falling into a rapid current, only stirring up a cluster of water splashes before disappearing. When the wolf pack flowed past, only the black bull horns and bronze-colored skeletons remained, emitting a dim and eerie light in the hazy moonlight.
Thunder Horn Bulls were constantly falling out of the formation and being devoured by the wolf pack. The number of Thunder Horn Bulls decreased from more than ten to six. The Howling Moon Wolves suffered even greater losses. Of the thirty or so Howling Moon Wolves that first rushed into the bull herd from both sides, only ten or so remained. Only half of the twenty or so Howling Moon Wolves chasing from behind remained.
At this time, another team rushed out from the main force of the wolf pack, about fifteen or sixteen of them. The leader was very tall and strong, with fur as shiny as if it had been oiled. There was a small tuft of white hair on its forehead, and the middle of the white hair was slightly raised, as if a horn was faintly about to emerge.
This wolf howled "Awoo", and flew forward as fast as lightning. The ten or so Howling Moon Wolves between the bull herd and it accelerated together when they heard this howl, rushed into the bull herd, and fiercely attacked the other five bulls besides the lead bull.
At this time, the bull herd had run to a position fifteen miles ahead of Zhang Yuanjing, entering the range of his divine sense. He immediately checked the lead bull's cultivation—Pseudo-Core Realm!
He also looked at the remaining Thunder Horn Bulls and the dozen or so Howling Moon Wolves rushing in front. They were all in the Spirit Opening Realm, mostly in the early to mid-stage, but there were also some in the late stage. Especially in the Howling Moon Wolf pack, two had reached the Great Perfection of the Spirit Opening Realm.
He subconsciously shifted his gaze to the large wolf chasing from behind. This wolf's speed almost reached half a mile per breath. Its figure was almost invisible to the naked eye when it ran, and it quickly broke into the bull herd. It was also in the Pseudo-Core Realm!
The leader's attack was the order to launch the final charge.
The dozen or so Spirit Opening Realm wolf demons that Zhang Yuanjing and the others first encountered also launched a charge from the front, fearlessly crashing into the Pseudo-Core Realm Thunder Horn Bull.
This bull demon's single eye was full of bloodshot veins. It lowered its huge head, extended its two curved horns, and roared loudly. A bolt of lightning flashed from its horns and blasted the head of the Great Perfection Spirit Opening Realm Howling Moon Wolf that was charging straight at it. This wolf screamed "Awoo" and fell to the ground, motionless.
Another Great Perfection Spirit Opening Realm Howling Moon Wolf, without fear, took its place and pounced on the bull's head. The Thunder Horn Bull swung its head, and its horns pierced through the wolf's belly. However, this Howling Moon Wolf did not immediately die, but mustered its remaining strength and slapped the bull's single eye.
The Thunder Horn Bull roared miserably, its single eye cracked, and silver blood seeped out, immediately blocking its vision. However, since it had reached the Pseudo-Core Realm, it could still run fast even without its eyes.
More than a dozen Spirit Opening Realm Howling Moon Wolves charged repeatedly, attacking the vital positions of the Thunder Horn Bull's head and neck. The Thunder Horn Bull mustered all its strength, and lightning power burst out from its horns, blasting these demon wolves to death one by one.
In this way, the front was finally cleared, and this Pseudo-Core Realm Thunder Horn Bull cleared all obstacles and opened an escape route.
However, the remaining Thunder Horn Bulls behind it had all fallen into the wolf pack and become their food. It itself had also exhausted its thunder power and was extremely exhausted. Only this breath of survival was still as full as ever, supporting it to run with all its strength. And that leader wolf, like a gust of breeze, floated behind it, preparing to launch a fatal blow when it ran out of strength.
"Brother Ape, let's follow them first. Huiye, you stay here. If you have a chance, pick up the bull horns and bull bones on the ground. However many you pick up are yours, but safety first. Don't be greedy!"
The leader wolf had long discovered the two humans and one ape standing still in the sky, especially the giant ape's aura, which made it feel oppressed. However, relying on more than a hundred of its own kind behind it, it was not afraid of this ape. Moreover, it was also certain that these two humans and one ape would never dare to come down and snatch the Thunder Horn Bull.
However, the sudden change of action of Zhang Yuanjing and Ape Thirteen made it feel threatened. Its fur stood on end, and a violent killing intent flashed in its eyes. It raised its head and let out a short "Awoo" sound. Immediately, more than ten mid-to-late Spirit Opening Realm Howling Moon Wolves accelerated forward and surrounded the Thunder Horn Bull in front.
When Zhang Yuanjing saw this, he knew that if he didn't snatch it, this Pseudo-Core Realm Thunder Horn Bull would also be buried in the wolves' mouths. He shouted to Ape Thirteen, "Brother Ape, go and snatch that Thunder Horn Bull. I'll block the wolf pack for you!"
At this time, Ape Thirteen, who had long been unable to hold back, rushed towards the Thunder Horn Bull like a whirlwind, driving its sword.
Zhang Yuanjing controlled his sword and inserted it diagonally, took out a small bag from his storage bag, and threw it towards the open space between the Thunder Horn Bull and the wolf pack. Inside was three pounds of Yin Severing Sand.
Seeing Ape Thirteen take action, the leader wolf also immediately accelerated. At this time, the small bag of Yin Severing Sand attached to Zhang Yuanjing's divine sense had already flown over, and he immediately detonated it, and countless black sand covered the leader wolf's head.
Although the leader wolf's movements were agile and its speed was extremely fast, it could not avoid this attack. It had to stir up the power of its qi and blood to strengthen its skin and forcibly block the sand.
Yin Severing Sand was good at breaking protective magic power, and it could also erode the defenses of demonic beasts. Countless black sand hit the leader wolf's beautiful fur, eroding small needle-like spots, the injury was not serious, but it hurt the demon so much that it howled.
Zhang Yuanjing frowned, suddenly thinking of something. He reached out and touched his storage bag, and threw a Cyan Sky Thunder towards the leader wolf.
Having suffered from the previous loss, the leader wolf dared not let this thing get close, and immediately twisted its body and dodged from the side. The Cyan Sky Thunder exploded on the ground, blasting the dozen or so Spirit Opening Realm Howling Moon Wolves behind the leader wolf into a dizzy state. Wood poison spread everywhere, and an unknown number of wolf demons inhaled it, and immediately fell to the ground.
The leader wolf turned its head and saw this, and roared in extreme anger. It suddenly turned towards Zhang Yuanjing's position, and shot like a black light. In Zhang Yuanjing's puzzled eyes, white light wings grew out of the wolf's ribs, flew into the sky, and grabbed at his throat with a claw.
Zhang Yuanjing was shocked, and subconsciously took out the Spirit Restraining Hoe and knocked it against the wolf's claw, while quickly retreating. The leader wolf twisted its body and advanced again, stepping on Zhang Yuanjing's chest with its two front paws, stretching its wolf head forward, and opening its bloody mouth to bite his neck swiftly.
At this time, Zhang Yuanjing was retreating, but the leader wolf's speed was much faster than him, and it was in front of him in the blink of an eye. In the face of life and death, he was not flustered, ignoring the two front paws of the leader wolf attacking his chest, he visualized the true inheritance token transforming into a golden shield, blocking this fatal bite.
In an instant, the golden shield flashed with light, steady and motionless, but the leader wolf's feet were firmly stepping on Zhang Yuanjing's chest. Although he had a magic robe to protect him, this blow also shook his internal organs and caused him to bleed from his mouth and nose.
However, the leader wolf hated Zhang Yuanjing, and even ignored the Thunder Horn Bull. It flapped its white light wings, wanting to chase after him again.
However, it was after all in the Pseudo-Core Realm, and these light wings could only be maintained for a few breaths. At this point, they had disappeared, and most of its strength had been consumed, and its body was quickly falling uncontrollably.
The height of ten zhang was naturally nothing to it. Even if it fell, it would not be injured. It opened its two blue-black eyes and stared at Zhang Yuanjing hatefully.
Zhang Yuanjing snorted softly, raised his hand, and first sacrificed the Dragon Binding Vine, wrapping it towards the leader wolf. Then he threw the Yin Wind Saber into the space in front.
In the leader wolf's hateful eyes, a look of mockery appeared. The Dragon Binding Vine flew close, and it stretched its neck and opened its mouth to bite the long vine.
In its opinion, the magical instruments used by Foundation Establishment cultivators, no matter what the quality, could not withstand a bite from its sharp teeth. However, to its surprise, in the blink of an eye, this long vine actually jumped on its own, extremely cleverly dodging its bite, and then wrapped downwards, tightly binding it from head to tail.
Because it was suspended in mid-air, the leader wolf had body skills and strength, but could not use them, and could only watch helplessly as the long vine bound it, making its four feet unable to move.
At this time, the Yin Wind Saber arrived, and slashed on its neck with a muffled sound, like hitting rotten cotton. The flying knife bounced back, and the leader wolf did not suffer any injuries except for a few black hairs falling out.
The wolf howled, both angry at being slashed by Zhang Yuanjing's knife, and mocking him for overestimating himself. It secretly accumulated strength, waiting to recover slightly before breaking free from the long vine on its body.
Zhang Yuanjing's mind flashed, and in an instant he thought of a way. He exerted force on the flying sword under his feet, quickly swept across a few zhang of space, moved to the side of the leader wolf's body, whose eyes were flashing with different colors, and pointed his hand at the Dragon Binding Vine, and put it into the spirit beast bag.
Seeing their leader in distress, the wolves below all raised their heads and howled wildly. In an instant, in the cold night, wolf howls rose everywhere, spreading throughout the mountains and fields, very terrifying.
At this time, Ape Thirteen had already flown back carrying a giant bull. After catching up with the Thunder Horn Bull, it fought with it for several rounds. With its Vajra body, it forcibly withstood a blow of thunder power before breaking its thick neck with a stick and killing it. Then, it danced the Heaven Shaking Staff, and a set of Vajra Subduing Demon Staff used speed to attack quickly, beating the dozen or so Spirit Opening Realm Howling Moon Wolves to death or injury, before calmly picking up the giant bull and coming to meet Zhang Yuanjing.
Listening to the mournful howls of the wolves below, Zhang Yuanjing felt uneasy. How could he dare to delay any longer? He immediately used the storage bracelet to collect the bull's corpse, let Ape Thirteen take the flying sword, first found Min Huiye, who was enthusiastically searching for Thunder Horn Bull bones and horns in the valley, and then the two humans and one ape followed the mountain road straight to the mountain stream.
