Chapter 587: Chapter 587: Black Wind Wolf Pack

Hundred Beast Ferocious Mountain, various incidents were happening everywhere. People were dying, escaping, and encountering opportunities and adventures.

On a cliff on the outskirts of the Hundred Beast Ferocious Mountain, Crown Prince Zhou Yishui and his group were stationed.

There was an inconspicuous cave on this cliff concealed by many vines. It had been inhabited by several three-transformations, five-layer flying demon beasts, which were killed by Zhou Yishui.

This cave was incredibly concealed and the terrain was steep. Normal beasts couldn’t reach it. Even flying demon beasts would find it hard to discover this cave.

So Crown Prince Zhou Yishui and his companions stayed within this cave for a while.

Zhou Yishui had brought only four people with him on this expedition to the Hundred Beast Ferocious Mountain, all of whom were his confidants.

Besides Mengyuan, there were an old servant dressed in grey robes, a taciturn youth, and a middle-aged man with a scar on his face.

Each of Zhou Yishui’s confidants was inherently powerful. Therefore, even with their small numbers, his team was among the most competitive among all groups that had entered the Hundred Beast Ferocious Mountain.

At this moment, Zhou Yishui was cross-legged, absorbing the essence of a thousand-year-old ancient medicinal herb, which they had found within the cave. It could be considered an unexpected windfall.

Suddenly, sounds echoed from outside the cave. It seemed that a flying demon beast had discovered their location and was squeezing in through the vine-covered crevices.

The old man in grey robes stood up and stepped out of the cave. Seeing a huge black bird attempting to rush into the cave, he immediately acted.

With a single strike, the black bird screeched and its head was pulverized, plunging straight down the cliff.

It was a three-transformations, second-layer demon beast, or so it seemed. Therefore, easily squashed by one strike from the old servant in grey. One could only imagine the man’s incredible level of prowess.

“Prince, should we stay here?” Mengyuan looked outside the cave and asked.

Zhou Yishui opened his eyes and said, “Let’s stay here to wait and see how things develop. The previous wave of beasts was quite strange; I suspect there will be another wave.”

Mengyuan furrowed her brows. “But if we stay here, we won’t know what’s happening outside.”

Zhou Yishui responded with a slight smile and didn’t explain further. He opened his Spirit Eye and projected a Spirit Body.

“My Spirit Body will scout the outside world first,” Zhou Yishui said. This Spirit Body looked exactly like his physical form but only possessed a fraction of his actual strength.

The Spirit Body nodded to its original form and left the cave.

“I’ll also have a look outside.” The usually taciturn youth suddenly spoke out.

Zhou Yishui glanced at him and nodded approval. The youth then followed Zhou Yishui’s Spirit Body, both leaving the cave together.

“What is he going to do?” Mengyuan asked, puzzled.

Zhou Yishui kept quiet, letting the old man in grey robes respond, “He went to find someone.”

Mengyuan’s eyes flickered as she asked, “Dugu Nian or Fang Lin?”

“Of course Fang Lin,” the old man in grey robes replied.

Mengyuan giggled while Zhou Yishui remained indifferent, absorbed in absorbing the essence of the thousand-year-old ancient medicinal herb, seemingly oblivious to their conversation.

“Fang Lin is probably dead by now. This youth may have wasted his time,” Mengyuan laughed.

······

In the depth of Hundred Beast Ferocious Mountain’s dense forest, two young men and women dressed in black were walking together. A floating dark seal lay ahead of them, its surface faintly shimmering with light.

This seal was uniquely shaped, featuring an image of a Pill Furnace, and engraved with the characters “Guarding the West” at its base.

This was the seal of the Lord of the Western Guarding Palace, and one of his most cherished treasures.

These young men and women were those dispatched by the Lord of the Western Guarding Palace to enter the Hundred Beast Ferocious Mountain. Holding this seal, they could kill any beast below the Four Transformations realm.

They walked fearlessly within the Hundred Beast Ferocious Mountain, constantly searching for traces of Fang Lin.

“Hmm?” After walking for a while, they suddenly discovered bodies of violently mutilated bear demons.

“What happened?” After examining the scene, both their faces hardened with the firm realization that this was definitely done by human hands, and not just one person. However, the extreme suffering endured by these bear demons seemed lacking. Why?

“The gallbladders and demon cores were removed.” The youth frowned and said.

The girl inspected the surroundings, discovered the traces of human departure, and said, “They went in this direction. Let’s follow and see who might be responsible.”

“Alright!” The youth agreed and followed the girl, as the dark seal led the way.

······

Fang Lin and his companions were facing trouble, serious trouble.

They had inadvertently intruded upon the territory of the Black Wind Wolves.

Black Wind Wolves, individually weak at just the second transformation, the eighth or ninth layer, were known to move in packs. Typically, when one appeared, several others tended to follow, swarming the area.

Even other formidable beasts were loath to enter the territory of Black Wind Wolves, which guarded their terrain fiercely. Any intruder was seen as a provocation.

Fang Lin and his companions had entirely intruded upon their territory. It was only when they discovered numerous droppings left by wolves that they realized the trouble they were in.

But by then, it was already too late. Black Wind Wolves surrounded them from all sides, their eyes, glowing in the dark, glaring at them menacingly. The wolves did not immediately pounce on them but seemed to be waiting for the optimal moment to strike.

“What should we do? Black Wind Wolves are notoriously difficult to deal with. They’re everywhere; there’s no way we can escape,” a pale-faced royal said.

“Don’t panic!” Steward Shen said as he scrutinized the wolves surrounding them.

Suddenly, a massive pack of wolves appeared from the front, a few hundred to be precise. Among them, a Wolf King could be seen.

Noticeably larger than common Black Wind Wolves, the Wolf King had needles-like fur, extraordinarily long fangs, and exceptionally thick limbs.

Everyone’s hearts sank. A Wolf King leading the Black Wind Wolves meant an even more terrifying threat. The Wolf King could command the wolf pack to act collectively, rather than haphazardly attacking like a swarm of flies.

The Wolf King glared at them with blood-red eyes and howled, which prompted the army of wolves surrounding them to follow suit.

This alternating chorus of howls was punctuated by an inexplicable force, causing everyone’s heads to spin, and legs to wobble.

“Not good!” Steward Shen yelled, trying to clear his head, hopelessly.

Fang Lin didn’t hesitate. He reached into his Beast Bag and pulled out a golden puppy that was sleeping inside.
