Decisive Battle with the Wolf Pack

At dawn, Red Iron Tribe.

A team of thirty-one set out, hauling their weapons and equipment.

There were twenty Red Iron Tribe warriors, ten Lukun Tribe warriors, and Feng Xu.

Another team of more than a dozen Lukun warriors, eight Red Iron Tribe warriors, and ten Wind-Fire Tribe women had arrived at the ambush site three days earlier to make preparations.

Of the thirty-one facing the wolves head-on, everyone except Feng Xu had giant-form armor.

Over fifteen days, they had built six trebuchets, twenty Fire-Scale Bombs, five hundred solid stone shot, and three hundred vine-bound Shrapnel Bombs and Bone Caltrop Bombs.

Four would face the wolf pack directly, while two were placed in the valley for the ambush.

Feng Yuqi ran up to Feng Xi and handed him a short knife fashioned from polished wolf fangs.

"Be careful on the road. I made this. I hope it helps."

Delight appeared on Feng Xu's face. Finally, someone could speak normally. Yuqi's words were still somewhat stiff, but she could already express herself through language alone.

"Don't worry. We'll return safely."

Feng Xu accepted the short knife and tucked it into his belt.

The team set off. Rather than crossing mountains and ridges, they went around the mountains. They carried plenty of supplies, and crossing the mountains would have been too troublesome and prone to accidents.

Four days later, they arrived at the designated location.

They were thirty li from the wolf pack. It was time to assemble the trebuchets.

In the distance, the Wolf King sensed something unusual and sent two giant wolves to investigate.

When the scouting wolves arrived, they discovered that the Human Race was digging holes and burying posts.

"They want to build another set of defenses like before over there."

The Wolf King stared into the distance in thought.

The previous night raid had inflicted heavy losses on the wolf pack. They could not allow something similar to happen again.

Now that the Human Race had come out on their own, it was the perfect time to attack them.

Retreat was impossible. If they retreated whenever they encountered the Human Race, how could the wolf pack maintain a foothold? This was wolf territory. If they retreated into the domains of other powerful beings, their casualties would only be greater.

"The Human Race is weak. Once they leave their own territory, they will be unable to withstand the wolf pack's attack. All who can fight, attack!"

The Wolf King leaped onto high ground and let out a loud howl.

The entire wolf pack heard it clearly, as did Feng Xu and the others thirty li away.

Half a day had passed since they arrived, and the trebuchets had already been assembled.

Each frame stood twenty zhang tall, with throwing arms over forty zhang long. Their range was three to seven li, and their legs were buried in the earth.

A trench had been dug ahead of them. Though it was not deep, it could still slow the wolf pack's charge. The excavated earth had also been piled into a wall, though its defensive power was inferior to a stockade.

With so little time, this was all they could do.

The sound of the wolf pack's footsteps drew closer and closer. Every warrior stood ready.

The wolf pack was about to enter the seven-li range when Feng Xu shouted for the bombardment to begin.

"Fire!"

The Lukun Tribe warriors were tense and at a loss. After receiving some encouragement from the warriors beside them, they began launching the bombs.

All the Lukun warriors transformed into giants, red palm prints appearing on their faces.

The four trebuchets fired in rotation.

They first launched several rounds of solid stone shot to disrupt the wolf pack's rhythm.

The boulders crashed down from the sky. Combined with the giant wolves' fierce charge, a single hit could knock over one or two wolves while slowing the momentum of the wolves behind them.

Some wolves managed to dodge in time, while others were knocked down by giant wolves sent flying by the blasts, then trampled beneath the wolves charging behind them.

The Wolf King was shocked. How long had it been? The Human Race had already created another new weapon?

A wolf howl rang out, and all the wolves spread apart.

"Damn it, we should've used the Shrapnel Bombs first. Is this Wolf King's reaction speed really that fast?"

Facing trebuchets for the first time, he had found a countermeasure after only two rounds of bombardment. This Wolf King was indeed difficult to handle.

"Number One, launch Bone Caltrop Bombs. The rest, continue firing solid stone shot."

More than three hundred wolves were charging forward. The first hundred were battle wolves over a century old, while those behind were ordinary adult wild wolves.

The Bone Caltrop Bombs did little damage to the battle wolves and could only slow their charge, but they were much more effective against ordinary wild wolves.

Once the wolf pack entered the five-li range, Feng Xu ordered the Shrapnel Bombs to be launched.

The moment the Shrapnel Bombs struck the ground, the vines snapped, sending countless fragments of stone flying in every direction. The fragments cut into the wolves' flesh and eyes. Combined with the Bone Caltrop Bombs' effect on the ordinary wild wolves, the wolf pack was split into two groups.

After the wolf pack entered the four-li range, Feng Xu ordered the Fire-Scale Bombs to be launched.

Once the phosphorus fire touched their bodies, it was difficult to extinguish. The burning giant wolves rolled wildly across the ground, knocking down one companion after another.

Before long, a wall of fire rose ahead.

The Wolf King howled again, suppressing the panic spreading through the wolf pack as he accelerated once more.

Feng Xi and Iron Mountain led twenty warriors. After activating their Bloodline Power, they hurled javelins.

After three volleys of javelins, the wolf pack suffered more casualties.

The Wolf King's eyes turned red. He absolutely could not allow the Human Race before him to continue developing. Otherwise, the wolf pack would sooner or later be wiped out.

Rage had clouded his reason. He did not notice that only a little over thirty battle wolves remained behind him; the rest had either died in battle or fled in rout.

They were too close now. The trebuchets were useless.

The Lukun Tribe warriors stood behind the other warriors, gripping long spears and preparing for close combat.

Feng Xu stood on Feng Xi's shoulder, drawing his bow and firing.

The wolf pack drew closer and closer.

Two li.

One li.

With the Human Race right before him, the Wolf King opened his massive jaws, ready to devour them at any moment.

With the Wolf King leading thirty giant wolves, charging at such speed, even a spear formation could not stop them.

Feng Xu forced himself to remain calm. Just as the Wolf King sprang into the air, he activated his Dharma Treasure.

Heavenly Net and Earthly Web!

A massive golden net spread open at high speed, blocking everyone's path.

The Wolf King reacted swiftly. The instant he landed, he resisted the net's pull and forcibly turned to flee.

The remaining wolves could not react in time. They charged a few more steps forward, then flailed their suspended limbs as the great net swept them away.

"How is this possible? A Human Race tribe without even an Earth Immortal actually has a Dharma Treasure?"

The Wolf King was terrified. Had he not sensed in advance that some mysterious force had locked onto him and reacted early, he would have been taken by the Dharma Treasure along with the other battle wolves.

This had to be reported to the Heavenly Demon Wolf King. The Human Race was growing too quickly; preparations had to be made early.

Though he was not of the Heavenly Demon Wolf clan, he was still under the Heavenly Demon Wolf King's jurisdiction. If he could gain the Wolf King's favor through this, his pack could develop again.

On the other side.

Feng Xu could not help swearing.

The Wolf King was like he had cheats enabled, with no delay in his reaction. The instant the Dharma Treasure locked onto him, he immediately turned and fled.

Feng Xu had already locked onto the Wolf King, yet he had still escaped. It would only be harder to capture him later.

This battle was different from the one at the Yuze Tribe.

That time, he had directly targeted the water. No matter how strong the Giant Golden Carp was, it could not escape while swept up in the powerful current.

His cultivation was still too low.

If he possessed Earth Immortal cultivation, the Wolf King definitely would not have escaped.

Feng Xu sighed and put away the Dharma Treasure.

Using the Dharma Treasure consumed too much power. With his current magical power, he could not use it a second time within a short period.

This time, he had captured only twenty wolves. The remaining giant wolves had not had time to react before the warriors charged forward and killed them.

Feng Xu looked in the direction the Wolf King had fled and snorted coldly.

Even if you escaped the Dharma Treasure, you would not escape this calamity.

Those who offend the Human Race shall be slain, no matter how far away they flee!

Everyone pursued the retreating wolf pack.

They ignored the trebuchets for now. They needed to drive the wolf pack toward the ambush site.

The fleeing wild wolves did not stop after returning to their den and instead continued fleeing into the distance.

The warriors pursued at an unhurried pace, driving them toward the ambush site.

The mountains here had only shrubs, with no forests where the wolves could hide. The wolf pack ran and stopped repeatedly, reaching the designated location two days later.

Aside from the Wolf King, only thirty battle wolves and more than a hundred ordinary wild wolves remained in the entire pack.

During the pursuit, the Human Race found more than twenty cubs. They were all placed under Little White's command, led by Little White back to the Red Iron Tribe.
