My Super Pet Dragon - Chapter 58
At the same time, Yang Tian was naturally unaware of Zhao Shuangxing’s arrival. Even if it was Zhao Shuangxing, he would not see him because he knew that all Warriors assumed he possessed a Grade Eight Beast Core then. Previously, Zhao Shuangxing did not bear any hostile intent toward him, but things had changed.
Not all Warriors could resist the pull of a Grade Eight Beast Core.
Yang Tian moved quickly. He wanted to find a Grade Five Monster and obtain a Grade Five Beast Core before it got dark.
The Warriors in the area were swarming like flies because Yang Tian turned on his Warriormate not too long ago.
Yang Tian had moved only a short while when he saw a middle-aged woman and a young man. Yang Tian observed them and saw that they were displaying their affections to each other as they walked. Their relationship was not platonic. Yang Tian smiled and moved in another direction.
The scene told Yang Tian that the number of Warriors in the area were numerous.
If it were not for Drago’s warnings, he would have been trapped a long time ago.
Under such circumstances, Yang Tian had to slow down and move carefully. As night fell, Drago guided Yang Tian to finally find a Grade Five Silver-backed Bear.
Previously, Yang Tian and the team had used a lot of effort to kill the last Silver-backed Bear.
However, this time Yang Tian used only two strokes of his saber to decapitate the Silver-backed Bear. He plucked out a light blue Grade Five Beast Core from the beast’s skull.
The entire battle was extremely easy for Yang Tian.
This was because in two short months, Yang Tian’s abilities had developed greatly. Currently, he could even kill a Grade Six Monster.
As it was night, a majority of the Warriors set up camp to rest. With Drago’s guidance, Yang Tian stealthily traversed the forest…
Three days later.
The weather was splendid. The clouds that blanketed the sky finally parted and the warm sun shone down. The fog that had obscured the forest dissipated at long last.
Good weather brought good moods.
Yang Tian was very happy as he was only roughly ten kilometers away from the rendezvous point he set up with Xiao Fei.
Awooo…
Suddenly, the howl of a wolf could be heard in the forest ahead.
Yang Tian had heard this sound countless times by now. Based on his judgment, he could even tell if the howling was from a normal Black-backed Wolf, a Grade One Silver-fanged Wolf, or a higher Grade pack leader.
A wolf pack!
The moment Yang Tian heard the howl, he immediately could tell that it was a signal from the pack leader to begin the assault.
Ratatata…
Soon, the sound of automatic gunfire could be heard.
In the forests and under normal circumstances, when one knew that other Warriors were under attack by a wolf pack they would stay well away.
Between Warriors who did not know each other, they were more cold-hearted than the average person.
However, Yang Tian ran toward the sound of the gunfire. He was worried that if Xiao Fei and the others were besieged by the wolf pack, they would be in trouble.
…
Yang Tian’s guess was correct. Xiao Fei and the others were surrounded by the wolf pack. This pack’s numbers were at least twice more than the pack they faced the last time. In the forests, the territory of a wolf pack was more or less set in stone. The pack would not enter the heart of the Danger Zone as high-Grade Monsters were there. No matter how numerous a pack was, it was not enough for those Monsters’ appetites.
Approximately ten minutes later, Wang Guang, who was standing in the second ring of Alloy Fencing, had run out of ammunition for his Gatling Gun. He discarded the heavy gun and left it on the floor.
At that moment, the pulped carcasses of wolves were strewn across the ground on the other side of the Alloy Fencing.
Even though many were killed, the wolf pack still came with wild abandon. The Alloy Fencing was five meters tall and full of barbs, and it still could not hold off their assault. A hundred or so Black-backed Wolves and a small number of Silver-fanged Wolves were beginning to bite through the last ring of Alloy Fencing, or starting to climb over it.
Even though the Alloy Fence was sturdy, it was not comparable to the City Walls. Under the pressure of the climbing wolf pack, the metal support beams that held up the Alloy Fencing began to buckle. It was clear that the end was near.
“Who thought we’d be that unlucky as to meet another wolf pack,” Zhao Wu said with a bitter smile as he looked at the tide of wolves.
Xiao Fei wiped the wolf blood from his face as he smiled. “This area has always belonged to the wolves. Staying here for long would definitely lead to them discovering us.”
“Team leader, what now?”
Li Xuan shot his final arrow and threw his bow away before he asked Xiao Fei.
Xiao Fei gripped his sword and said, “There’s only one way. We split up and fight our way out and test our luck!”
This was the best way. If they grouped together to fight their way out, they were not as agile as the wolves. They would be quickly overrun. If they split up, the wolf pack would split up too, and everyone would have a chance of getting away.
Of course, this was purely a matter of luck. In the forests, being marked by a wolf pack usually did not end well.
When Zhao Wu heard Xiao Fei’s words, he knelt and began to silently sort out his things. He knew that among the seven of them, his chances of survival were the lowest as his ability was the weakest.
Seeing Zhao Wu’s reaction, Xiao Fei knew what had crossed the man’s mind. He stepped forward and slapped Zhao Wu’s back as he said, “Number Five, don’t worry. I won’t leave you behind. Later, you follow me! I promise you that I’ll die before you do!”
“I’m not leaving either!”
At that moment, Wang Guang chipped in.
“We’ll die together! In any case, we came in here prepared to be killed by Monsters or other Warriors.” Li Xuan combed his hair and smiled as he spoke.
At that moment, the other team members all nodded.
With that, Xiao Fei’s previous suggestion had been vetoed.
Looking at his young teammates, Xiao Fei could not help but smile bitterly.
Awoo…
Nearby, the howls of the wolf could be heard again.
However, this time the howl was cut short. It was as though the pack leader had been strangled halfway as it howled.
At the same time, the Alloy Fencing was just about to collapse. However, the wolf pack was thrown into disarray when the howl was cut short.
A hundred meters away, Yang Tian used his knife to split open the Green-fanged Wolf’s skull and picked out the pink Grade Three Beast Core within.
“Another Grade Three Beast Core.” Yang Tian looked at the carcass of the wolf as he spoke. He then put the Beast Core in his pocket.
The pack leader was dead and naturally, the pack was in disarray. The Black-backed Wolves were running helter-skelter, and they were soon all gone.
This time, the battle was not as intense with the help of the Alloy Fencing. Apart from Wang Guang who had used the Gatling Gun to rack up over 200 kills, the others had only killed a dozen or so each after the outer fencing was destroyed.
The wolf pack had retreated. Xiao Fei opened the fence and looked toward the direction of where the howling came from.
A while later, a man with a sword walked out.
“Yang Tian!”
Xiao Fei exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the newcomer.
In Xiao Fei’s eyes, Yang Tian had matured a lot compared to previously. Of course, this was in terms of his aura. Appearance wise, Yang Tian had not changed much, since it had only been two months since they separated.
“Team Leader, I’m here! It’s good that I came in the nick of time.” Yang Tian smiled as he stood before Xiao Fei.
Xiao Fei closed the distance and hugged Yang Tian.
The other six teammates happily went over at that moment and one by one they hugged Yang Tian.
“Oh! Number Eight, you stink! Take a shower when you can. If you don’t the smell will stick with you and become your body’s odor. Next time when you see your girlfriend, she’s definitely not going to sleep with you.”
Liu Xiao pinched her nose and joked after hugging Yang Tian.
The rest of the group roared in laughter at her words.
Yang Tian scratched his head in embarrassment.
The seven of them walked toward the camp and sat in a circle. Under Xiao Fei’s questioning, Yang Tian began to recount his experiences.
“What! You don’t have the Grade Eight Beast Core?” Zhao Wu said in awe when he heard Yang Tian recount the incident at Qingxi Valley.
Xiao Fei cut in with a smile, and said, “High-Grade Monsters fight each other for their Beast Cores so they can also evolve. The Beast Core must’ve been taken by another Monster. Yang Tian was just passing by and must’ve been misunderstood by others.”
Yang Tian smiled but did not speak.
