Chapter 8: Retreat of the Wolf Pack

At this moment, Zhao Wuji suddenly leaped like a tiger; indeed, it was a tiger leap. His agile physique exuded an aura of a king. Immediately after, Zhao Wuji suddenly opened his mouth wide and roaredーーー

Zhang Peng signaled everyone to hurry, and Zhao Wuji led the way. They had walked for less than half an hour when they suddenly stopped. Everyone halted as well, watching their surroundings with vigilance. Apart from the dense forest, the ground was covered with dry leaves and shrubs, while the towering ancient trees were entwined with creeping vines, spreading freely. A few rays of sunlight penetrated through the leaves and fell down, shimmering like sunflowers.

Fengzi said beside him: "You are bare-shouldered and have no issues, have you also taken the Dragon Elixir?"

Gangzi curiously asked, "Brother, how did you get into trouble with the diamondback rattlesnake?"

This is entirely a theory that goes against common sense. As everyone knows, Zao Wou-Ki does not speak without reason, and they curiously look at Zao Wou-Ki, waiting for an explanation

"I know, the captain has eaten," Fengzi said eagerly. "What does it have to do with the wolf pack?"

Yes. Jiangzi also responded with a hint of sorrow, shouldering Zhao Wuji.

After seeing everyone gather around, Zhao Wuji said warily: "It is a pack of wolves"

Everyone was taken aback, their faces filled with surprise and concern. Although they did not know how Zhao Wuji was aware that the wolf pack had already passed and that there were more than 500 of them, everyone chose to trust him due to their interactions over the past few days. Being watched by more than 50 wild wolves was certainly not a good thing, so it was best to leave quickly

"You are a pervert," Zhangzi exclaimed, "a pervert even more obsessed with martial arts than I am, a perverted martial arts fanatic"

Indeed, I hadn't noticed it until you mentioned it. As Gangzi spoke, he looked around and confirmed that there was indeed nothing. Everyone had survived in the primeval forest and understood its terrors. Among them, the blood-sucking leeches were ubiquitous little creatures, along with the unpredictable venomous snakes and poisonous ants, all of which could be deadly.

Wuthering Heights, where the beasts are awe-inspiring

"That year, I encountered a bottleneck in my training. The older generation said that when a person faces a life-and-death situation, they can unleash their potential and possibly break through the bottleneck. The facts have proven that the older generation was right," said Zhao Wuji.

"Brother, come back!" Fengzi shouted in surprise, about to run over to pull Zhao Wuji back, but was stopped by Zhang Peng, who shouted, "Wait, everyone stay alert and keep watch around us. The safety of Brother Wuji is in my hands"

No one paid any attention, and everyone continued on their way

Ah? Wasn't it said that we should not dare to approach? As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately envisioned the scene of over 500 fierce and brutal wild wolves hunting, their faces filled with bitter smiles. With everyone's abilities and means, dealing with a hundred or so wild wolves would not be a problem, but over 500 is a different matter. This is not merely an increase in numbers, but also an enhancement of combat power.

At dusk, after having eaten something, Zhao Wuji suddenly raised an alarm. Everyone gathered around, inquiring about the matter. People had become accustomed to Zhao Wuji's ability to foresee danger. In their view, a person who had lived for a long time in the primeval forest must possess a heightened sense of danger compared to ordinary individuals. No one knew that Zhao Wuji's strong perception was entirely due to his cultivation of the "Natural Classic" divine skill. A person who has long lived in the primeval forest must have a sense of danger that is different from ordinary people. No one knew that Zhao Wuji's strong perception was entirely due to his cultivation of the "Natural Classic" divine skill.

The resounding roar echoed through the mountains and forests, shaking the surroundings, causing the entire woodland to tremble. Birds flew chaotically in all directions, and the wolf pack cast a reluctant glance at Zhao Wuji before turning to flee, leaving no trace of wolves in the vicinity.

A domineering roar burst forth, and before my eyes, a small whirlwind arose, lifting the dry leaves from the ground into the air. My body, like that of a tiger, stretched and contracted, followed by another wild roar, Roar!

Zhang Peng and others stared in astonishment at Zhao Wuji, their eyes filled with awe, a reverence befitting the king of the mountains. It was not until the pack of wolves fled that Zhao Wuji's body swayed and collapsed to the ground. The crowd then came to their senses and hurriedly rushed forward to help Zhao Wuji, calling out his name with concern

Without the trailing end, everyone relaxed considerably along the way. Zhao Wuji and Zhang Peng walked one after the other, both possessing 'Dragon Elixir', which caused some minor toxins to dare not approach, retreating instead. Everyone felt that this journey through the primeval forest was truly too easy, resembling a vacation.

The King Cobra? Everyone possesses rich survival skills and knowledge of the primordial forest, and naturally understands what the King Cobra signifies. It is indeed astonishing. In the primordial forests of tropical rainforest regions, the King Cobra is undoubtedly the king of snakes, the ruler of the jungle. Not only is it the most venomous, but it is also the most difficult to deal with, possessing the strongest combat capability. Even an elephant, upon encountering it, would only turn around and flee.

Zhao Wuji said: "Have you forgotten that Dragon Elixir?"

"The jungle is fair, and nature is also fair. I pursued the king cobra for seven days and nights. Although I endured considerable hardship and almost became its snack, I learned the attack patterns of the king cobra and created my own set of boxing techniques, which was worthwhile. Half a month later, I used this set of techniques to kill the king cobra, so in the end, I still made a profit," said Zhao Wuji.

Once again, there was a frenzied retreat. Ten minutes later, Zhao Wuji heard countless loud noises, along with many whistling sounds, darting through the forest. When he turned back to look, the original position resembled a fireworks display, accompanied by numerous cries of anguish.

After glancing at Zhang Peng, Zhao Wuji suddenly came to a realization and quickly called everyone to gather. The few of them gathered together without hesitation. Zhang Peng asked, "Why should we come together? Wouldn't it be more effective to spread out into a defensive formation to enhance our combat effectiveness?"

"Are you talking about that Dragon Pill?" Zhang Peng, the person involved, looked at Zhao Wuji in surprise, his face filled with excitement. This thing is great; it is simply an essential treasure for traveling in the primeval forest.

Binzi said with a smile: "If anyone can evade the traps I have set, they probably haven't been born yet; that would be enough for them to drink a pot of it."

The "Book of Nature" is an extraordinary work that not only promotes health and longevity but also enhances one's perception of the surroundings. Zhao Wuji has uniquely developed a set of Beast Fist by harnessing the internal energy cultivated through practice, combined with the movements of wild animals during hunting, which possesses remarkable power. Zhao Wuji's grandfather, having aged, does not need to engage in combat with wild beasts and naturally lacks knowledge of fighting techniques. However, with his profound internal skills, he can easily traverse hills and obstacles, ensuring his longevity.

Zhao Wuji, with a weary expression, said: "Damn it, if I don't practice this thing for a long time, I will regress. I can't go on, I'm exhausted. Let's hurry and leave this place, move forward." As he spoke, he pointed in a direction and fainted.

"No wonder I feel my body filled with strength, incredibly powerful, as if it were inexhaustible," Zhang Peng said gratefully. "However, scaring away poisonous insects may not necessarily scare off a pack of wolves, right?"

Zhao Wuji whispered, "It is a pack of wolves, everyone be careful"

Along the way, Zhao Wuji listened to everyone introducing the happenings outside, the dozens of stories of high-rise buildings, the small cars racing down the streets, the various exquisite foods, and the diverse array of beautiful women, all of which overwhelmed his senses, making the descriptions delightful to hear, and he was filled with longing for the life beyond.

"Defensive formation? I don't understand." Zhao Wuji said, "If we stay together, the wolf pack won't be able to find us?"

Zhao Wuji was also at a loss; could it be that the number had increased, and their courage had grown? Without time to explain, he signaled for everyone to back up against each other, forming a circular formation. This way, no matter from which direction the wild wolves approached, they would face counterattacks. This was a desperate measure among desperate measures; facing several hundred wolves, choosing to attack was no different from choosing to die.

Upon hearing this, everyone took on their responsibilities, carefully watching the wolves in their respective positions, ready to fight with all their might. Gangzi coldly laughed, "Come on, just in time to add a meal for me tonight"

Hard attacks are everyone's favorite, but once these wolves resort to cunning strategies, they are no less formidable than humans. Just as everyone was nervously and passionately pulling back their gun bolts, Zhao Wuji took a few steps forward, set down his large bow, spread his legs apart, and crouched down with both hands poised as if to grasp. He crawled on the ground like some kind of animal, raising his head, his sharp gaze filled with disdain and arrogance.

Along the way, whenever encountering wild fruits, Zhao Wuji would leap like a monkey, picking quite a few to share with everyone. They also caught several wild chickens during the journey, enjoying food and drink. Life was truly filled with joy and was immensely pleasant

"I can, as for the reason, I do not know. Well, the wolf pack just passed by us on both sides, there were probably more than fifty of them, heading over there," Zhao Wuji said, pointing to the location of the enemies behind.

Zhang Peng hurriedly shouted, "Gangzi, carry Wuji brother on your back, quickly, everyone hurry up and leave". His tone was urgent and anxious, and no one noticed that there was a trace of tears in the corner of Zhang Peng's eyes, tears of emotion

Wolves are social animals, fierce and skilled in battle, and even more adept at cooperation, with a strong sense of collective consciousness. Faced with so many wolves, no one felt assured, and everyone looked to Zhao Wuji, placing their hopes on him. It was not that they lacked confidence in themselves, nor that their abilities were insufficient, but rather that in the primeval forest, they believed that no problem could stump Zhao Wuji. With Zhao Wuji present, there was no need to worry too much about anything.

Indeed, at the age of fifteen, I killed a king cobra larger than the last one, and I also obtained a dragon pill. Zhao Wuji said: After consuming that substance, not only do you not have to worry about poisoning, but the poisonous insects in the forest flee upon seeing you. I cannot explain the reason, but it is also very beneficial for the body; the older generation is well aware of this.

Everyone listened to Zhao Wuji recounting stories, as if he were discussing an ordinary matter unrelated to themselves. The dangers were mentioned in passing, yet no one was foolish; they could imagine the extent of the hardships involved. Their curiosity about Zhao Wuji's mystery and strength only grew. However, no one dared to ask, as they all understood the importance of respecting others' privacy

The golden evening glow spills into the mountains and forests, casting streaks of golden light on the ground. A gentle breeze sweeps over the hills, causing the forest to rustle with sound. A whiff of a pungent wind approaches, carrying the scent of blood and the musk of animals; the wolves are coming

Then, everyone quickly ran forward. Gangzi curiously said, "I wonder if that dragon's breath emits some kind of aura. Ordinary beasts and poisonous insects might mistake this aura for the presence of a giant python, causing them to flee. It's similar to what is described in fantasy novels about dragon breath. What do you all think?"

Before long, shadows of wolves gradually appeared all around, peering cautiously, and did not choose to attack immediately. Perhaps they were wary of the guns in everyone's hands; after all, these fine firearms are not to be underestimated.

"Have you not noticed that throughout our journey, there have been no poisonous creatures such as scorpions, venomous spiders, poisonous snakes, or mosquitoes approaching us?" Zhao Wuji inquired

I estimate that this time we will definitely scare them out of their wits, they are just ordinary small fry, lacking in strength, and I believe they will not dare to pursue us any longer

Everyone glanced at the unconscious Zhao Wuji, their faces filled with concern and gratitude, as well as endless admiration and reverence for the strong, and quickly ran forward
