[Because you killed the wild wolf last night without eradicating the roots, the escaped wild wolf informed the Wolf King of what you had done, and now the Wolf King led his crowd to come. 】
[Survive for 12 hours when being chased by wolves or kill the wolf king to complete the mission. 】
[This mission is the last link of the mission chain "Tide of Beasts". If the mission fails, the soul power invested cannot be returned. 】
"The last link in the mission chain?"
Zhang Yue was on his way back to Zhoucun at this moment, when suddenly such subtitles flashed on his retina.
He was quite surprised. He didn't expect that one of the wild wolves he killed last night escaped.
"No, those three wild wolves have been killed by me, how could they escape?"
Zhang Yue remembered very clearly that one of them was disembowelled and both heads were missing, so how could he escape?
Could it be that... it wasn't Sanjo who was there at that time, but Shijo?
There was another one hiding aside waiting for a sneak attack, but after finding out that he had killed three of his companions, he pretended to be dead and waited for him to leave before running away?
If this is the case, then the IQs of these wolves are not low, and they are much smarter than many people.
Zhang Yue looked at the sky. The sun was shining brightly and it was almost noon.
After killing the man-eating tiger in the morning and having someone cut up some of the tiger meat, he set off on his way back.
Prepare to take the opportunity to kill that old kid.
After receiving the Tiger Demon Strengthening Bone Sutra, his confidence skyrocketed, and he felt that the gap between him and Lao Kaizi was no longer big.
It's a pity that now we have encountered the last link of the task chain, which allows the other party to live a little longer.
"No, maybe not."
Zhang Yue raised his head and looked at a mountain col in the distance, and the cold hairs on his skin were already standing on end.
A familiar sense of threat was coming from over there, similar to when he was stared at by the old kidnapper before.
"I just said that the village chief's persuasion was of no use at all. The old kid finally came anyway."
Zhang Yue's intuition is very sensitive. The other party has discovered him, and the murderous intention burst out has clearly told him the other party's determination.
But how did the old kidnapper know that he would come back at this time and ambush him here?
Zhang Yue looked at the mountain col in the distance, and it didn't seem like the best ambush point, otherwise he wouldn't have been seen so easily.
"So the other party wanted to chase me to Xiaowang Village to kill me, but found me back on the way, so they found a place to ambush?"
Thinking about it now, this should be the most likely scenario.
After all, there is only one way back, and as long as two people want to go towards their destination, they will inevitably meet in the middle.
Zhang Yue retreated to where he was and hid behind a big tree to avoid being exposed to the old kid.
Liu Bo has such good archery skills, and Lao Guaizi might be even better.
"Facing such an enemy, no matter how strong your inner strength is, it's useless. You can't get close at all."
Zhang Yue hid behind the tree, feeling unwilling to do so.
If he succeeded in practicing the Pig Demon Skin Training Technique, the arrows would be ineffective against him, and he would still be hiding here.
It's a pity there is no time.
Then there is probably only one thing that needs to be done next.
Stay with it.
He endured until the old kid could no longer hold on.
or……
When the wolves came over, he and the old kidnapper died together!
Zhang Yue looked at his mission prompt. After triggering the wolf mission, he had already started counting down.
There are no traces of wolves around, maybe they are tracking them based on their own scent.
"Then I should change my position and let the old kid become the shield between me and the wolves."
This thought flashed through Zhang Yue's mind, and then he looked at his surroundings.
He needs to quickly cross a distance ahead, and then be exposed for a short distance in front of the mountain col, before he can finally jump into a dense forest further ahead.
But the dense forest is also the end point, and there will be a blank space further forward. If the old kid is chasing after him, he can easily shoot himself to death from behind with his archery skills.
Zhang Yue hesitated for a moment, then immediately gave up his worries. His body was like an ape, and he jumped out from behind the tree in an instant and ran forward.
The old kid obviously didn't expect Zhang Yue to be so decisive and was stunned for a while.
Then he hurriedly took off the hunting bow from behind, attached the arrow, and shot directly forward.
Lao Guaizi originally thought that Zhang Yue might see him as he was old and wanted to drain his energy first, so he did not put all his strength on guard, but instead recuperated his energy.
Therefore, when he saw Zhang Yue appear, he seemed a little flustered and missed the opportunity.
It's also because I haven't hunted for a long time, so my skills are not as agile as before.
The arrow was not shot well, it was slightly crooked and passed through two bodies behind Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue's explosive speed at this moment exceeded the old kid's imagination.
The muscle strengthening brought about by the Demonic Bear's powerful palm allowed him to reach the ultimate running speed.
Again, at this critical moment of life and death, if he just missed a good opportunity, he would never have another chance.
Zhang Yue almost jumped into the dense forest not far away before the second arrow arrived, and then immediately hid behind a tree, holding his breath to hide his figure.
The old kidnapper quickly stopped his pursuit and looked at the dense forest not far away with a cold smile.
The reason why he set up an ambush in the easily discovered mountain col instead of in this dense forest was because it was not suitable here.
Although this is a dense forest, it is not very large.
Other places either have natural hazards that could lead to death if you are not careful, or there are dead ends that are impossible to pass.
There are only two directions that can leave the blur.
One is the place where I just entered. I am guarding here. If I show up, I can take the other person's life.
The other road is the avenue ahead, which seems to be smooth, but it basically requires you to completely expose your back in front of you.
No matter where the opponent goes, they will die under their own arrows.
He is good at archery, but his close combat ability is not as good as Xiao Wu who can kill wild boars and giant bears.
Therefore, he will never enter the dense forest lightly, no matter what means the other party uses to lure him.
The old kidnapper frowned, feeling that his lame leg began to hurt again, so he found a private place and lay down.
The corner of Zhang Yue's mouth curled up. Of course he knew that this was a Jedi place. As long as he entered here, he would be entering the opponent's trap.
But the old kidnapper didn't know what he was waiting for.
"What do these wild wolves do for food? They haven't appeared yet."
Eating fried noodles with dried meat and drinking sugared salt water, Zhang Yue glanced at the countdown, there were still 9 hours left.
He has been here with the old kidnapper for three hours.
The wild wolves that were supposed to appear showed no signs of movement.
"Those wolves are very intelligent. Are they waiting for night to fall?"
Zhang Yue looked at the sky, and there were still a few hours before night.
Those wild wolves don’t really think so, do they?
The sun in the sky gradually slid downwards, and the embers of dusk gradually disappeared from the field of vision.
When darkness began to cover everything, a long wolf howl came from a distant place.
