Bloodthirsty Wolf Pack

Lord-class beasts were exceedingly rare. Today was already the fourth day, and in the entire region, only Nan Feng had killed a level 2 lord-class beast, the Dart Bee Queen.

Killing a lord-class beast granted additional attribute points as a reward, which greatly tempted Nan Feng.

So the moment You Ran mentioned a lord-class beast, Nan Feng immediately became restless.

You Ran said, "The coordinates are 410:483. I'll wait for you here."

Nan Feng checked the coordinates. Damn, it was so close to the Wooden Cabin?

It was less than twenty minutes away.

After quickly finishing the last few bites of roasted meat, Nan Feng took twenty mana potions and headed out.

"Let me see, I should head southeast... just the opposite direction from the mine."

Nan Feng switched to the Wooden Dagger and strode forward.

But as he walked, he suddenly realized something was off—this direction looked familiar.

Wasn't this the direction where he had discovered the Jungle Treant yesterday?

Could the lord-class beast You Ran had found be that treant three or four meters thick?

Nan Feng vividly remembered the Jungle Treant.

It was a beast covered in question marks. Forgetting it would have been difficult.

"No, the Eye of Insight can inspect beasts within three levels of me, so the Jungle Treant must be at least level 6..."

"The lord-class beast You Ran found is level 5, so it definitely isn't the Jungle Treant."

Having figured that out, Nan Feng let out a breath of relief and continued onward.

When he passed through the Jungle Treant's territory, Nan Feng cautiously made a wide detour to avoid being ambushed by the treant.

That thing's vines were fifty or sixty meters long. One careless step and he would get caught.

After bypassing the area, Nan Feng's view suddenly opened up.

There were far fewer towering trees that blocked out the sky, replaced by layers upon layers of small hills.

As he continued toward the coordinates, Nan Feng noticed that more low-level beasts were appearing around him.

Besides common beasts like Ironclaw Rats and Redeye Rabbits, there were also some plant-type beasts Nan Feng had never seen before.

One kind was a pea that spat seeds, leaving Nan Feng utterly speechless.

"Why are there Pea Shooters here too?"

"Are we fighting zombies or something..."

Before level 5 Nan Feng, these level 2 and 3 beasts were utterly helpless.

After casually dealing with them, Nan Feng arrived in a valley.

On a rock beside the valley, You Ran, dressed in a robe, smiled at Nan Feng. "You got here pretty fast."

The corners of You Ran's lips curled upward, and her eyes narrowed into crescents. Even her eyes seemed to be smiling.

Girls who loved to smile usually had pretty good luck...

Nan Feng looked You Ran up and down and found that she had an excellent figure as well—slender waist, long legs, fair skin, and a pretty face. She was a captivating little temptress.

"You pervert, why are you staring at me?" You Ran shot Nan Feng a glare.

"Looking once is instinct. Looking twice makes someone a pervert." Nan Feng spoke righteously. "I didn't blink just now, so it was instinct."

You Ran covered her mouth and chuckled twice. "All right, let's talk business."

Right, business...

Nan Feng carefully surveyed the surroundings. Only after confirming there was no danger did he slowly approach You Ran.

It couldn't be helped. One had to stay on guard around others.

What if this You Ran was a bad person and wanted to cut out one of Nan Feng's kidneys?

If he lost a kidney, Nan Feng's future happiness would be cut in half. He had to be cautious.

"All right, this distance is fine."

As Nan Feng slowly approached, You Ran also cautiously kept a certain distance from him.

There was not much trust between the two of them.

"How heartbreaking. You don't trust me at all..." Nan Feng said in anguish. "I'm your good big brother."

You Ran ignored Nan Feng's act and began discussing business. "Deep in this valley is a pack of Bloodthirsty Wolves, around forty of them. They're all level 5 beasts. There's also a Bloodthirsty Wolf Leader, a lord-class beast."

Nan Feng was startled. "That many? I can't handle that."

If there had only been one lord-class beast, Nan Feng could have tried kiting it to death.

But with more than forty level 5 Bloodthirsty Wolves on top of that, Nan Feng would not be able to win.

You Ran waved her hand, signaling Nan Feng to stop talking for now. "There's also a stalk of Illusion Grass in this valley. Eating it can increase stamina by 10 points."

"This Illusion Grass is about to mature, so the Bloodthirsty Wolf Leader has been guarding it and has no intention of leaving."

"That gives us an opportunity. We can kill the Bloodthirsty Wolves first, then deal with the Bloodthirsty Wolf Leader."

Nan Feng nodded.

If the Bloodthirsty Wolf Leader did not make a move, Nan Feng was still confident he could handle the remaining Bloodthirsty Wolves—unless they ignored all honor and ganged up on him.

After briefly explaining the situation, You Ran turned to Nan Feng. "The kill reward from this lord goes to you, but the Illusion Grass goes to me. How about it?"

Nan Feng said, "Fair."

The last time Nan Feng killed the level 2 lord, the Dart Bee Queen, he received rewards of Reputation *1 and Stamina *4.

This Bloodthirsty Wolf Leader was a level 5 beast. Its rewards would definitely be better, and he might even receive a Strength reward.

For Nan Feng, the kill reward was certainly far better than the 10 stamina provided by the Illusion Grass.

Seeing Nan Feng agree, You Ran smiled slightly. "All right, follow me. I know a good spot."

You Ran led Nan Feng beneath a protruding rock wall. Using both hands and feet, the two of them exerted considerable effort before climbing up.

From this angle, they could see the distant Bloodthirsty Wolf pack perfectly.

You Ran smiled. "The rock wall below us is vertical. The Bloodthirsty Wolves can't climb up here."

Nan Feng took a look and found that it was indeed true.

This small hillside was easy to defend and hard to attack. The Bloodthirsty Wolves could not climb up at all and could only take hits from below.

Nan Feng sighed. "This really is a tower defense game..."

And Nan Feng and You Ran were the two defense towers.

Beside him, You Ran took out a wooden wand wrapped in vines. The vines seemed to have grown from the wand itself.

"I can cast fireballs to lure the Bloodthirsty Wolves over."

So jealous. She actually had Fireball... Nan Feng had dreamed of becoming a mage ever since he was little.

As You Ran spoke, she looked at the Wooden Dagger in Nan Feng's hand. "What about you? Aren't you taking out your handgun?"

Nan Feng froze, then gave a foolish laugh. "Hehe, you actually believed Sakura Kojiro's nonsense?"

You Ran smiled at Nan Feng, a trace of cunning flashing through her eyes. "Then all the experience from these Bloodthirsty Wolves will be mine?"

As she spoke, a fireball condensed on You Ran's wand, tracing a perfect arc through the air before smashing into a Bloodthirsty Wolf snoring nearby.

What accuracy!

"Awooo!"

In pain, the Bloodthirsty Wolf scrambled to its feet and began howling.

Very quickly, more than forty Bloodthirsty Wolves noticed Nan Feng and You Ran and charged over with furious roars.

"Roar!"

The wolf pack had only run a few steps when the Bloodthirsty Wolf Leader let out a roar. Half the Bloodthirsty Wolves immediately stopped and returned to the leader's side, guarding the Illusion Grass as it matured.

Nan Feng raised his brows. "Huh? Is the leader afraid we'll lure the tiger away from the mountain?"

You Ran nodded. "Its intelligence is not low. We need to be careful when dealing with it."

Whoosh.

You Ran swung her wand again, and another fireball flew out, striking a Bloodthirsty Wolf.

Nan Feng felt a little itchy with envy.

This was farming monsters without taking any damage!

A level 5 Bloodthirsty Wolf could give Nan Feng 50 experience points, far more than a Cave Spider.

Should I take out the Desert Eagle, kill You Ran to silence her, and keep all this experience for myself?... An evil thought surfaced in Nan Feng's mind, but he immediately dismissed it.

Nan Feng could not bring himself to do something so shameless.

Beep beep beep.

While he was hesitating, Nan Feng suddenly received a private message.

He opened it casually, then was instantly shocked. "Holy shit!"

"What happened?" You Ran was startled by Nan Feng.

Nan Feng's expression turned grave as he stared at the private message.

The message had been sent by Su Ziran.

It was very short, but it contained an enormous amount of information.

Su Ziran: "Sakura One-Sword is preparing to challenge our District 527!"
