Chapter 46 Searching for the Wolf King

Chen Hao walked alone in the forest.

At first, he could still see groups of people.

Some of the teams, seeing Chen Hao alone with a knife and bow, couldn't help but feel greedy.

They quickly surrounded them.

Upon seeing Chen Hao's face, those who recognized him immediately ran away in fright.

Those who didn't recognize him sneered, "Alone? Hand over all your weapons."

Upon hearing this, Chen Hao made only one move.

He quickly handed over a knife.

Before the other party could react, the blade had already pierced his heart.

Another draw.

The other person stared wide-eyed, looking utterly incredulous as they fell backward.

died.

At this moment, Chen Hao turned his head and looked around.

Anyone who met his gaze was filled with fear, let out a strange "Ah!" and ran away in a panic.

He ran while shouting, "Murder!"

Chen Hao didn't chase after him, but continued forward.

Stop every now and then to take out the map and look at it.

Once you've gone far away and ventured deep into the forest, you rarely see any other people.

With a "whoosh," Chen Hao drew his sword and slashed down.

A venomous snake that was about to ambush him was cleaved in two, twisting into a ball on the ground.

Chen Hao did not stop and continued forward.

Shortly after he left, the snake, now in two, was quickly devoured by small animals attracted by the smell of blood.

A while later, a gust of evil wind came from behind Chen Hao.

Chen Hao pushed off with both feet and jumped nearly ten meters away, leaving two small craters in the muddy ground.

After escaping the attack, he suddenly turned around with his sword drawn.

There stood a lynx, about 1.5 meters long, in the spot where he had been standing.

Chen Hao, knife in hand, charged forward towards the lynx.

Unexpectedly, the lynx didn't fight Chen Hao head-on at all. Instead, it turned around, jumped onto a nearby tree, and climbed up the tree in a few quick movements.

They stared at each other, one after the other, while Chen Hao stood under the tree.

"You think I can't do anything to you?"

"Hmph," Chen Hao snorted coldly, took the Purple Tiger Bow from his back, nocked an arrow, and aimed at his opponent.

The lynx had never seen a human bow and arrow before. It remained where it was, licking its paws while staring intently at Chen Hao.

Looking at Chen Hao's actions, a hint of doubt even appeared in the big cat's eyes.

"What is the prey doing?"

The next second, the arrow shot out rapidly and hit the lynx's head accurately.

[Congratulations! You have successfully killed a 1-star common creature—a jungle lynx—and obtained two 1-star cards.]

With a "thud," the lynx's carcass fell from the tree.

Chen Hao approached the lynx's corpse, pulled out the arrow, and left.

He couldn't easily carry the body, so he had to abandon it.

After he left, several wild animals, attracted by the smell of blood from the corpse, even started fighting each other.

As Chen Hao continued forward, he encountered a large area of ​​thorns blocking his path.

So Chen Hao climbed up the tree next to him, stood on a branch as thick as his thigh, and looked down.

Below was a thicket of thorns, and there were even many animal carcasses, all tightly entangled by the thorns.

This patch of thorns is quite large, with the thorns wrapped around a large, dark tree and extending outwards.

Just as Chen Hao was observing, a wild rabbit accidentally wandered in.

The rabbit's fur offered little protection against the barbs on the thorns, and it was quickly caught and injured.

The intense pain caused the rabbit to struggle continuously, but the more it struggled, the more thorns entangled it, the more barbs pierced its body, and the more wounds it sustained.

He eventually bled to death.

Afterwards, the rabbit will become nutrients for these thorns, making them grow even more vigorously.

Up in the tree, Chen Hao thought for a moment and decided to take a detour.

This thicket of thorns covers a considerable area, and even with Chen Hao's current strength, clearing a path forward would require a significant amount of time and effort.

It's better to take a detour; it will save time and effort.

Soon, Chen Hao climbed down the tree and walked along the edge of the thorns until he reached the end, thus avoiding the thorns.

Then he looked at the sun's position, compared it with the directions marked on the map, and began to reposition himself.

Once the location was successfully established, Chen Hao continued forward.

"Awoo!" After walking for an unknown amount of time, Chen Hao suddenly heard a wolf howling from ahead.

This brought a hint of joy to his eyes.

"Found it."

He slowed his pace and approached slowly.

However, unlike the slow-witted goblins.

Wolves have a very keen sense of smell.

The unfamiliar scent emanating from Chen Hao immediately alerted the two Forest Wolves as soon as they got close.

They sniffed carefully, and after confirming that it wasn't the scent of their own kind, they immediately let out wolf howls.

The wolf howls Chen Hao heard were warnings issued by these two wolves.

As a result, more and more forest wolves began to howl.

This made Chen Hao pause in his tracks; he sensed that something was amiss.

But it was too late.

A pack of forest wolves ran towards his location.

They soon spotted each other.

Upon seeing the intruders, the pack of Forest Wolves immediately turned red in the eyes, baring their fangs as they charged at Chen Hao.

Chen Hao's expression changed, wondering how he had been exposed.

But he knew that it was time to run.

So he ran back without looking back.

However, there were many obstacles in the forest that affected Chen Hao's speed.

This caused the pack of wolves behind him to get closer and closer.

"No, if this continues, I'll be caught by these gray wolves very soon."

So he quickly stopped and went to a thick tree. In no time, he climbed up the tree.

A few seconds later, a pack of forest wolves surrounded the tree; they couldn't climb trees.

They bared their teeth and roared at Chen Hao in the tree.

Every now and then it would jump up, seemingly trying to grab Chen Hao from the tree.

Chen Hao stood on a thick tree branch, looking down at the large pack of wolves roaming below, his expression icy.

"Did my scent give me away?"

At this moment, with both feet off the ground, the clever brain has once again taken over the high ground.

After the crisis was temporarily averted, Chen Hao instantly understood why he had been discovered.

"If we can't launch a sneak attack, then we'll have to deal with these wolves first, and then we can deal with the wolf king."

Chen Hao observed from the tree for a while but did not spot the wolf king.

They did find several wolves that were several sizes larger than the other wolves.

The other gray wolves are about 1.5 meters long, but the larger ones are over 2 meters long.

Gao was a head taller than the other gray wolves.

"Elite gray wolves?"

Chen Hao guessed, "Alright, then I'll start with you guys."

So Chen Hao drew his bow and aimed at one of the big gray wolves.

With a "whoosh," the arrow flew out and accurately struck the big gray wolf on the head.

[Congratulations! You have successfully killed a one-star elite creature—the Forest Gray Wolf—and obtained three one-star cards.]

"As expected, they are elite creatures."

Chen Hao smiled smugly.

However, the wolf pack became disorderly.

These "Forest Gray Wolves" are minor leaders within the wolf pack; they usually lead a group of "Forest Gray Wolves" on hunting expeditions.

The other gray wolves in the forest, who often hunted alongside this gray wolf, suddenly let out a mournful howl.

Soon, another "Forest Big Bad Wolf" was chosen as Chen Hao's target and killed with a single arrow.

The deaths of the two gray wolves plunged the pack into panic.

The wolf pack began to riot.

Just then, Chen Hao struck again, shooting down another [Forest Big Bad Wolf] with a single arrow.

This is the third one.

There were only five in the arena.

The death of the third "Forest Gray Wolf" completely ignited panic among the wolf pack, and many gray wolves began to run back.

Chen Hao seized the opportunity to fire another arrow, but missed the target.

Because the target hid in the bushes nearby, Chen Hao misjudged the situation, but it wasn't without its gains; he shot and wounded an ordinary gray wolf.

Chen Hao didn't have a chance to shoot a fifth arrow because there were no more wolves under the tree. Only the gray wolf that Chen Hao had shot in the leg was still limping away.

Chen Hao jumped down from the tree, strode over, raised the Blood-Drinking Blade, and chopped off the head of the wounded gray wolf.

After that, he began to retrieve the arrows he had shot, and then returned to the tree to wait for the wolf king to appear.

He refused to believe that the Wolf King wouldn't seek revenge after his subordinates were killed.

Of course, it wasn't the original tree, but another tree nearby.

Furthermore, Chen Hao hid in the tree canopy, waiting for the wolf king to appear so he could deliver a fatal blow.

Sure enough, a little while later, some noise was heard.

Chen Hao looked closely and saw that it was a leopard.

The leopard pounced on the wolf carcasses, tearing open the belly of a grey wolf with its claws and enjoying its delicious, soft entrails.

But before it could take two bites, a gust of wind flew by and cleaved the leopard in two.

Chen Hao's pupils contracted as he looked at the wind blade.

The next moment, a huge gray wolf, more than three meters long, appeared in front of Chen Hao.

"The Wolf King".

Chen Hao instantly understood the other person's identity.
