Gale Wolf Pack

"This is Blue Silver Grass..."

Looking at the Blue Silver Grass that had already been hammered flat, Li Fei thought of a method. The Blue Silver Grass and the Blue Silver King shared the same roots. Could he use Perception to sense the Soul Power properties and aura of the Blue Silver Grass, then use that to locate the Blue Silver King?

"Third Soul Skill: Perception!"

No sooner had he thought of it than he acted. He activated his third soul skill and carefully sensed the Blue Silver Grass beside the tree. An aura unique to life was clearly imprinted in his mind. Though extremely faint, it was also exceptionally tenacious.

As a ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring, Li Fei's Perception extended two hundred meters outward from himself. It was absurdly powerful.

After memorizing the Soul Power characteristics of the Blue Silver Grass, Li Fei began constantly moving through the Star Dou Great Forest. Whenever he reached a new place, he released his third soul skill to sense whether there was any powerful Blue Silver Grass in the area.

"Damn it, I was clearly being so careful. Who would've thought this Gale Wolf King had a mental attribute and actually followed my spread-out spiritual power here!"

Li Fei, covered in wounds, raced through the Star Dou Forest at full speed, constantly dodging the rainstorm-like wind blades behind him. More than a thousand Gale Demon Wolves were pursuing him.

Over the past three months, Li Fei had searched the Star Dou Great Forest for traces of the Blue Silver King and experienced countless life-and-death battles. A small portion of them had been ambushes by other Soul Masters. He had nearly died once, but fortunately, his first and second soul skills had pulled through and preserved his life.

This time, he had finally sensed a powerful life force through his Perception skill, only to find himself surrounded by Gale Demon Wolves.

If his Perception range had not reached two hundred meters, Li Fei would have been torn apart by the wolf pack in an instant. The danger far surpassed any battle he had faced before.

"No, I have to kill the wolf king. If this keeps up, the pack will definitely surround me!"

Watching the thousand-year Gale Demon Wolves gradually close in, Li Fei frowned. As wind-attributed Soul Beasts, Gale Demon Wolves were not only incredibly fast but also tremendously powerful attackers. The wounds on Li Fei's body had been inflicted by them.

"Swift Reform: Wind Shear!"

He twisted in midair, evading a Gale Demon Wolf's lunge and bite. His right hand formed sword fingers as Gold Attribute Soul Power surged and flickered from them. With a slash at the wolf in the air, a streak of golden sword qi flashed past and severed its head cleanly.

Still sprinting at full speed, Li Fei began searching for a suitable place and opportunity to counterattack. He only needed one chance to get close to the Gale Wolf King and kill it in a single strike.

"That patch of woods on the left is so dense. It can limit the pack's movements perfectly!"

With a glance, Li Fei noticed that the trees to his left were far denser than those elsewhere. The gaps between them were less than a meter wide, making it the perfect battlefield.

He turned sharply and used the trees' flexibility to propel himself into the woods on the left.

"Good, they followed me in!"

Seeing the Gale Demon Wolf Pack follow him, Li Fei grinned smugly and began darting through the woods at high speed. Once more than half the pack had entered the forest, he immediately changed direction and charged toward the Gale Wolf King. Using the treetops to evade the attacks of the Gale Demon Wolves below, he made several leaps before springing from a thick tree directly at the Gale Wolf King.

"Awwoo!"

The Gale Wolf King let out a skyward howl. The wind-attributed Soul Power within the mouths of more than a dozen nearly ten-thousand-year Gale Demon Wolf guards around it gathered, and with a single exhalation, they unleashed hundreds of wind blades. They blanketed the sky and slashed toward Li Fei.

"What a clever wolf king. It knows that people can barely move in the air and wants to kill me from above! Too bad I'm not someone you can judge by common sense!"

Li Fei was slightly surprised at the sight of the incoming wind blades. Then Soul Power circulated rapidly through his body, and three Spirit Rings—purple, purple, and black—appeared.

"Third Soul Skill: Perception!"

"Second Soul Skill: Adamantine Body!"

"Moon Step!"

He activated both soul skills in an instant, and his entire body turned dark gold. His spiritual power perceived the trajectory of every wind blade with perfect clarity. Soul Power surged beneath his feet, and he began running through the air, dodging most of the wind blades. Still, some struck his body.

However, bolstered by Adamantine Body, they failed to break through Li Fei's defenses, allowing him to reach a position above the Gale Wolf King.

"Awwoo!"

The Gale Wolf King roared, sending several wind blades several meters long shooting toward Li Fei.

"Die!"

The trajectories of the wind blades flashed through his mind. Li Fei stomped wildly with Moon Step, dodged the wind blades, spun around, and summoned the Baiji Revolver into his hand, aiming it at the Gale Wolf King's head.

"Bang! Bang!..."

Sparks flashed from the muzzle as Soul Power erupted. He fired six consecutive shots, and six silver bullets plunged into the Gale Wolf King's head, blasting it apart.

Li Fei used Moon Step once again to widen the distance between himself and the wolf pack before fleeing into the distance.

"This Soul Power version of Moon Step really consumes a lot. Those twenty steps just now nearly drained all my Soul Power!"

He landed on a large tree and concealed himself, panting heavily. Through the gaps in the leaves, he observed the wolf pack while loading bullets into Baiji.

With the Gale Wolf King dead, the leaderless pack began scattering in all directions. Before long, there was not a single living creature near the wolf king.

"That's a soul bone!"

Once the pack had dispersed, Li Fei could clearly see the condition of the wolf king's corpse. Beside the black Spirit Ring was a small bone fragment resembling a leg bone, radiating an eerie blue glow.

He had no need for the Gale Wolf King's Spirit Ring, but he had to take this nearly thirty-thousand-year leg bone. With the pack's deterrent still lingering and no other Soul Beasts nearby, Li Fei quickened his pace and ran toward the wolf king.

"It really is a soul bone. I didn't expect an unexpected gain this time!"

Holding the soul bone in his hand, joy appeared in Li Fei's eyes. He hurriedly stored it in his Storage Bracelet and ran into the distance. The bloody scent of the Gale Wolf King's body would surely attract the attention of bloodthirsty Soul Beasts. It was better to leave quickly.

Only after sprinting nearly ten thousand meters did Li Fei hide in a tree hollow. He covered the entrance with leaves before resting and recovering his depleted stamina and Soul Power.

After recovering, Li Fei returned to the place where he had previously sensed the powerful Blue Silver Grass and advanced deeper inside.

As he went further in, the surrounding Blue Silver Grass grew increasingly abundant and resilient. A peaceful, tranquil aura permeated the forest, and Li Fei knew he had come to the right place.

"So many Blue Silver Grass Soul Beasts. There are even three Blue Silver Kings with silver patterns. They're all very suitable for me!"

Upon reaching the core area, Li Fei did not rashly advance. Although the Blue Silver Kings were not adept at attacking, there were so many gathered together that their control abilities would be difficult to withstand. Otherwise, the Blue Silver Grass would not have been able to occupy such a territory in the Star Dou Forest.

"Since they're grass, they must be afraid of fire!"

Li Fei chuckled and took several jars of strong liquor from his Storage Bracelet, tossing them directly onto the vast patch of Blue Silver Grass before him. Then, with a flick of his finger, a spark fell into the liquor, and blazing flames immediately erupted.
