Chapter 1, Spirit Pearl

This originally white spirit pearl is also undergoing some subtle changes in color

The spirit pearl transformed into a faint red color, and a warm sensation spread throughout Ai Xiaohai's entire body. Ai Xiaohai felt that his strength was rapidly increasing, and his hearing seemed to have become significantly sharper.

The cracked land resembles the wrinkles on an old man's face, seemingly narrating the history that this land has once endured

The wolf surprisingly understood Ai Xiaohai's words, and the plea in its eyes transformed into gratitude. It emitted a sound of "woo woo" from its throat, but its head turned in another direction

To regain the essence, it is likely that it cannot be achieved in less than a few years

Little Seven

The spiritual pearl within Ai Xiaohai's body seemed to sense something, restlessly moving around inside him, and began to gradually emit a peculiar energy that made Ai Xiaohai feel warm all over, while the strength in his arms suddenly increased

The spiritual pearl reacted swiftly, resembling an insatiable glutton, as it immediately began to absorb the essence of the mother wolf continuously into its body

What is even more troubling is that this type of wolf possesses a certain level of intelligence and a high degree of teamwork awareness. They quickly realize that the target before them, Ai and Tu Shu Xiao Hai, is much stronger, and the trouble caused by the small dog is not significant. Therefore, after a brief exchange, a combat strategy is immediately formulated

This made Ai Xiaohai almost unable to bring himself to act ruthlessly. He waved his hand and said, "Go on, considering how loving you two are as a couple, I will not take your lives."

On the other hand, the mother wolf surprisingly was unable to eliminate Little Seven

Are these two wolves conveying some message to each other in this manner

However, the strength of this Hark wolf is truly immense, and its agility is by no means inferior to that of Ai Xiaohai. As soon as its head was caught, it immediately struggled with all its might, and its massive body twisted violently, unexpectedly pinning Ai Xiaohai beneath it

He agilely dodged the fatal strike of the wolf and seized its head.

Little Seven jumped around with far more agility than the mother wolf, occasionally managing to bite the mother wolf a few times in retaliation. Although the mother wolf wanted to quickly eliminate Little Seven to assist her mate, she surprisingly found herself unable to do anything about this little dog.

Meanwhile, the mother wolf swiftly pounced on her target

This time, the rate of consumption noticeably accelerated; within just a few dozen seconds, the she-wolf collapsed beside her husband

Neither Ai Xiaohai nor the public wolf could know that at this moment, the spirit pearl in the *picture* book was greedily absorbing the essence of the public wolf, as if it were consuming the most nourishing supplement in the world

This is Ai Xiaohai's second hunt. Last time, he and his pet puppy "Xiao Qi" only hunted a single badger

Uh, this ...? ... Could it be that the wolf was actually suffocated to death by itself?

Looking at Xiao Qi again, Ai Xiao Hai doubted whether he had seen it wrong; Xiao Qi seemed to have grown a bit. Could it be that Xiao Qi has also absorbed some of the energy brought by the spiritual pearl

Xiao Qi is a local dog, about the size of a pet dog like a Teddy. Logically, a female wolf, which is not much larger than a male wolf, should easily be able to take down Xiao Qi. However, the reality is quite the opposite.

Ai Xiaohai was too busy to pay attention to it. Just as he was about to take action, the female wolf, upon seeing her husband lying on the ground, let out a mournful cry and rushed over here without a second thought

This spiritual pearl within the body is truly remarkable; Ai Xiaohai knows its true name—Dragon Spirit Pearl

Under the attack of a fierce male wolf, it is unlikely for an ordinary human to survive. However, Ai Xiaohai, who has obtained the power of the Spirit Pearl, has undergone preliminary modifications to his body, far surpassing ordinary people in strength, agility, and judgment.

Two large prairie wolves are staring intently at their prey and the books before them, their blood-red eyes glinting with ferocity. Their arched bodies and the continuous whimpering sounds from their throats signify that they are ready to launch an attack at any moment

He forcefully pushed away the wolf on him and was astonished to find that he did not feel tired at all; instead, he felt even more invigorated than before the struggle with the wolf. Moreover, what puzzled him even more was that it seemed as if something within his skin was trying to push its way out.

At this moment, Ai Xiaohai's life was at stake, completely disregarding these matters; however, the public wolf on him was in utter distress.

The male wolf is responsible for entangling Ai Xiaohai, while the female wolf quickly eliminates the puppy in the shortest time possible, swiftly joining the encirclement against Ai Xiaohai

The wind blows in gusts across the fields, completely at odds with the luxury of the city in this desolate and vast land

Desperate now, there was no other choice but to fight! Ai Xiaohai exerted himself with all his might, gripping the male wolf tightly as if he were two iron pincers.

The male wolf exerted all its strength to turn its body, but Ai Xiaohai firmly controlled it. Once it was turned around, its sharp teeth would quickly be at his throat

After 5 minutes, Ai Xiaohai opened his eyes and discovered that the essence of the two prairie wolves absorbed by the spirit orb had been completely assimilated by his body. His physical strength, agility, and reflexes had all significantly increased.

The male wolf was not dead; instead, it lay there on the brink of death. Its blood-red eyes no longer held the chilling glare that instilled fear, but rather reflected fear and a plea for mercy

In front of them were a male and a female Hark wolf. This species of prairie wolf is known for its extremely fierce temperament, agile movements, and lightning-fast speed, making it the most famous wild wolf. Moreover, they possess a very strong sense of territory, and the sudden appearance of Ai Xiaohai and his dog in their domain quickly evoked a palpable sense of murderous intent.

Here, one cannot see any shopping malls or supermarkets, nor are there bars or KTVs, and even a few households are not visible. Only by straining to look can one catch a glimpse of the shadows of two dilapidated houses in the distance

At this moment, the two wolves on the ground staggered to their feet, their vital essence completely drained. At this point, even a seven or eight-year-old child could easily defeat them.

As Ai Xiaohai began to absorb the power brought by the Spirit Pearl, Xiao Qi seemed to sense something and quickly ran to Ai Xiaohai's side, then pressed closely against Ai Xiaohai's leg, as if also experiencing the power emanating from the Spirit Pearl

The male wolf felt the energy within its body rapidly depleting, as if something was desperately extracting this energy, causing its body to grow increasingly weak, and its strength to struggle diminished further.

Ai Xiaohai was prepared to eliminate them, but as soon as this thought crossed his mind, the male wolf sensed something and quickly positioned himself in front of his mate, his eyes filled with pleading.

At this time, Ai Xiaohai had already gained experience; the changes occurring within his body made his movements more agile and swift, allowing him to deftly evade the desperate strike of the mother wolf, and then he forcefully tackled the mother wolf down.

The speed at which the spirit pearl absorbs the essence of the male wolf is astonishingly rapid; in less than two minutes, Ai Xiaohai suddenly felt that the male wolf on him had become completely still

To be honest, Ai Xiaohai did not want to associate with wolves, which are fierce, brutal, possess a high degree of teamwork, and even exhibit some primitive intelligence. However, there was no choice; the spiritual pearl within his body needed to absorb the essence of animals in order to gradually grow.

The more powerful the animal, the more it can accelerate the growth of the spiritual orb. However, in the city, where can one find powerful animals aside from the pets kept by people? Should one steal those animals from the zoo that have long lost their wild nature?

The wolf charged out fiercely, as swift as a flash of lightning. Once its sharp teeth sank into the opponent's throat, there would be no possibility of survival

At this moment, Ai Xiaohai, entangled with the public wolf, suddenly experienced a remarkable change within his body
