Kill the Wolf

Chapter 19 Kill the Wolf (Please continue reading)

Knight Fred's expression was solemn. He was wearing armor, holding his sword with both hands, and assuming an attack stance.

On the other side, the Mountain Wolf King leaped across a distance of more than ten meters, its wolf claws, as large as tiger claws, slapping towards Knight Fred.

Knight Fred rolled on the spot and then thrust his longsword toward the wolf king's belly. Unexpectedly, the wolf king twisted its body in mid-air like a nimble feline and dodged the sword.

"Damn it, is this still a mountain wolf?" Sir Fred thought in shock.

In all his years, he had been to many places, but he had never seen such a strong mountain wolf with such skilled fighting techniques.

This is definitely knight-level combat power, and it is impossible for a mountain wolf to produce knight-level combat power unless some extremely rare mutation occurs.

boom!

The wolf's claws clashed with the knight's longsword.

The wolf king winced in pain. It felt an extremely strong vibration on the knight's longsword, which made its claws go numb. It knew that the person in front of it was not simple, and it dared not use its claws to confront him head-on.

Instead, he used his speed and agility to dodge Fred Knight's attacks and wear him down.

Knight Fred saw through the Wolf King's scheme. After he stood still, he confronted the Wolf King. He could see the unwavering killing intent in the Wolf King's eyes, as well as the gleaming wisdom within them.

"Kill!" Sir Fred took the initiative to attack. He refused to believe that he, a dignified knight, could be defeated by a beast.

Meanwhile, Li Wei knew that with his strength, it would be difficult for him to participate in the battle against the Wolf King. In order to minimize the loss of people and property in his territory, he first began to clear out the ordinary mountain wolves that were still causing trouble in the territory. Once he and his men had cleared out the ordinary wolves, how could they possibly lose when a bunch of them ganged up on the Wolf King!

With militiamen guarding him, Li Wei's superior archery skills were put to good use. Although he wanted to use these wolves to practice his swordsmanship, it was clearly not a good time to practice under these circumstances.

Thus, Li Wei's arrows, like death warrants, continuously claimed the lives of one mountain wolf after another.

In the end, Li Wei had used up all the iron arrows he brought.

Apart from the wolf king's arrow, all thirty-six other iron arrows hit their mark, killing twenty-five of them on the spot.

This achievement stunned the militiamen.

With Li Wei, the human-shaped auto-aiming device, assisting them, the militiamen, who were originally struggling to breathe under the pressure of the wolf pack, finally felt much less stressed.

Without arrows, Li Wei could only follow the other militiamen, wielding a longsword and fighting in close combat. Wearing armor, he generally wouldn't suffer any fatal injuries unless surrounded by too many wolves.

However, the ordinary militiamen were no match for them; their rattan armor was completely ineffective against the terrifying bite force of the mountain wolf.

Li Wei saw that many militiamen were wounded, and some had been torn apart by wolves. Some wolves were even eating the corpses of their own soldiers.

Li Wei's eyes were bloodshot, and his blood was surging!

He activated his breathing technique with all his might and charged towards the beasts.

[Golden Cross Slash Proficiency +3]

[Golden Cross Slash Proficiency +2]

[Golden Cross Slash Proficiency +4]

Every perfect kill is accompanied by an increase in proficiency.

Li Wei fought to the very end, no longer caring how many he had killed.

His entire armor was stained with wolf blood.

These soldiers were all serfs under his command, insignificant commodities in this era, even tradable.

But they are also sons and fathers of families; they are living, breathing human beings!

Now, with so many people losing their lives to wolves, Li Wei, after all these years since his transmigration, has for the first time realized how worthless human life is in this world.

War, evil spirits, and even these beasts can take all of this away.

"I need to become stronger, but that's not enough!"

Li Wei screamed inwardly as a feeling of hunger welled up in his stomach.

He knew that with his current level of cultivation, he couldn't use the breathing technique at full power for too long; such intense energy consumption required appropriate replenishment.

"Do you have any food on you?" A terrifying hunger struck him, and Li Wei asked in a low voice, feeling like a starving wolf.

The militiamen were startled by him. They stared at Li Wei, whose eyes were bloodshot and who was in a killing frenzy, and said tremblingly, "No...no, lord, I'll go get you something to eat."

"No need." Li Wei directly tore off the hind leg of a mountain wolf beneath him, not caring whether there were any parasites or germs, and started gnawing on it on the spot. Anyway, with the breathing technique, parasites shouldn't pose any threat.

Most importantly, Li Wei was worried that he would go mad if he didn't eat something.

Once or twice might not be a problem, but if it happens too often, one day you will fall into an abyss from which there is no turning back.

Therefore, Li Wei must prevent such a thing from happening again. This time, the incident happened too hastily, and Li Wei didn't even have time to bring enough food. This can be considered a lesson learned.

After eating half a wolf leg, Li Wei felt much better. He suddenly realized that he had just been no different from those hungry wolves who were not discerning in their appetites.

He couldn't help but laugh at himself, "In the martial arts novels of my past life, I was probably the kind of terrifying demon who would eat raw meat and drink blood in order to become stronger."

In the end, under the frenzied slaughter led by Li Wei, most of the mountain wolves were killed. It is roughly estimated that there were more than sixty of them. There were also dozens of others who abandoned their wolf king and all slunk away into the deep mountains and forests.

On Li Wei's side, the losses included seven militiamen, twelve serfs, twenty cattle, and thirty sheep...

Such a loss is like adding insult to injury for the already impoverished Blackwater Valley.

It should be noted that there are only a little over three hundred households and less than a thousand people in the entire Blackwater Valley territory.

"Once I advance to the rank of knight, I must clear out the wild beasts around my territory. In this backward era, these beasts are all potential major dangers to my territory."

It's a pity there are no guns, otherwise Li Wei could have just used the proficiency panel to train his marksmanship to the maximum level. He could have killed as many of these mountain wolves as they came, and even the wolf king could be taken down with one shot.

Meanwhile, the Wolf King, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Knight Fred, saw that the situation was hopeless. It had not expected that the boy's archery skills were so accurate that it had lost most of its men in such a short time.

Now, those remaining subordinates are so terrified that they've all run away without a care for themselves. If it stays here, it will only face certain death.

It tried its best to dodge Fred Knight's attack, but was still slashed in the hind leg by the longsword. Then the wolf king limped away quickly, at a speed that Fred Knight could not catch up with.

"That beast got away." Sir Fred frowned.

This wolf king is too clever; it suffered a loss this time, and it will be difficult to completely eliminate its opponent.

"It's alright. As long as we have the wolf king's blood, we can give it to Little Fatty and the others. The wolf king won't be able to escape," Li Wei said coldly.

He was quite confident in the Northern Bear's sense of smell.
