22: Damn it
Lu Yu let out a sigh of relief; his choice was not wrong.
The Howling Moon Wolf King’s signature skill, Moon Shadow Three Wolves, was almost unsolvable; once used, the Howling Moon Wolf King’s next attack was practically guaranteed to hit.
Its only weakness was that the moment the Howling Moon Wolf King struck its opponent, its main body could not instantly move; this was the only chance for a counterattack.
If it were an ordinary ferocious beast, even knowing this weakness, it would still be injured by the Howling Moon Wolf King’s attack first, then lose its ability to counterattack, and ultimately be killed by the Howling Moon Wolf King.
But coincidentally, Lu Yu possessed an even more unsolvable skill: Golden Body!
Although it could only last for one second, during that second, Lu Yu was completely invincible, immune to all damage, and this one second was also enough for Lu Yu to unleash a powerful counterattack, using a set of skills to instantly kill the opponent.
The Little White Fox beside him opened her mouth wide, her eyes filled with admiration and fear as she looked at Lu Yu.
Among ferocious beasts, there was a clear distinction between strong and weak.
Lu Yu demonstrated his strength, completely subduing the Little White Fox.
Seeing Lu Yu quickly recover his spiritual power in place, the Little White Fox immediately shook her small legs, bounced over to the spirit fruit, and grabbed the spirit fruit with her front paws.
Lu Yu narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the Little White Fox; if the Little White Fox had any intention of eating the spirit fruit, Lu Yu would kill her with lightning speed.
What he needed was a subordinate, not a ferocious beast that didn't understand the situation.
Feeling the rich spiritual energy emanating from the level three spirit fruit, the Little White Fox’s eyes were filled with longing, and her small mouth even began to drool.
She knew very well that as long as she ate this spirit fruit, she would be able to break through to D-rank, becoming an existence like Lu Yu!
This spirit fruit was full of temptation for her, making her immensely want to claim it for herself.
But the Little White Fox dared not; after only a moment of hesitation, the Little White Fox dispelled the inappropriate thoughts in her heart, grabbed the spirit fruit, came to Lu Yu’s side, and offered the spirit fruit with both paws.
Seeing this, Lu Yu nodded with satisfaction, put away the spirit fruit, and patted the Little White Fox’s head.
Based on the Little White Fox's performance during and after the battle, Lu Yu considered her one of his own.
Lu Yu put the spirit fruit into his panel space; it was not the time to enjoy the spirit fruit.
He opened the panel and directly plundered the Howling Moon Wolf King’s corpse.
【Congratulations on obtaining 260 Evolution Points, current remaining Evolution Points: 318!】
【Congratulations on obtaining skill: Moon Shadow Three Wolves!】
Lu Yu was overjoyed; his anticipation had not been in vain after all.
The Howling Moon Wolf King had indeed dropped a skill, and it was the Moon Shadow Three Wolves, which Lu Yu coveted the most; it was such a coincidence that Lu Yu even suspected he was the Son of Destiny, blessed by the Goddess of Fate.
He quickly opened the panel to check:
Moon Shadow Three Wolves (Lv1) (Evolution Points required for upgrade: 10 points): Uses spiritual power to conjure two phantoms, whose aura is completely consistent with the main body; the main body can transfer between the phantoms at any time (Note: Phantoms can be destroyed; when actively attacking, transfer is not possible; after attacking, phantoms dissipate).
Since the Lv1 Moon Shadow Three Wolves could only conjure two phantoms, Lu Yu did not hesitate, directly spending 10 Evolution Points to upgrade it to Lv2, then spending 100 Evolution Points to upgrade it to Lv3.
Thus, the skill became this:
Shadow Strike (Lv3): Uses spiritual power to conjure four phantoms, whose aura is completely consistent with the main body; the main body can transfer between the phantoms at any time (Note: Phantoms cannot be destroyed; after attacking, phantoms dissipate).
Lu Yu’s eyes widened; after upgrading to Lv3, the skill not only generated four phantoms, but even its only original flaw was gone!
Shadow Strike had completely become a divine skill!
With just this one skill, Lu Yu’s combat power would definitely double!
He closed the panel and adjusted his excited mood.
He flew to the severely wounded, dying giant wild boar and flapped his wings to completely end its life.
Lu Yu, who was about to plunder the giant wild boar, paused, cast a wind blade, cut off the giant wild boar's hind leg, and threw it to the Little White Fox.
Although the Little White Fox did not have her own panel and could not plunder the corpses of ferocious beasts, eating the corpses of higher-rank ferocious beasts could also absorb their spiritual power to feed herself, though the efficiency was not as high as plundering.
Since meeting Lu Yu, the Little White Fox had led Lu Yu to find many good things, and now she seemed to have submitted, so Lu Yu would not be stingy.
The Little White Fox, overjoyed at receiving the wild boar meat, repeatedly waved her front paws in a bowing gesture towards Lu Yu to express her gratitude.
【Congratulations on obtaining Evolution Points: 180 points, current remaining Evolution Points: 628 points!】
The corpse was incomplete, so the Evolution Points obtained were much less, but Lu Yu didn't care.
Currently, around this clearing, there were many corpses of ferocious beasts that had just been killed by the three D-rank ferocious beasts; these were all Evolution Points!
Lu Yu flew around, plundering all the ferocious beasts without missing a single one, obtaining a total of 180 Evolution Points, bringing his current Evolution Points to 808!
He was only 200 points away from gathering enough Evolution Points to advance to C-rank!
Moreover, he still had a third-grade spirit fruit he hadn't consumed!
This wave, Lu Yu had made a killing!
Watching the Little White Fox still enjoying the wild boar meat, Lu Yu turned his gaze to the foot of the mountain; at this moment, the humans at the foot of the mountain were battling the ferocious beasts... Time rewound to before.
Commander Xu, realizing that the number of ferocious beasts this time exceeded expectations, called for reinforcements.
When the reinforcing soldiers arrived and set up their formation, they just happened to encounter the ferocious beasts driven down the mountain by the three great D-rank ferocious beasts.
These ferocious beasts, having been ground down on the mountain by the three great D-rank ferocious beasts, came down the mountain with a belly full of anger, only to encounter humans; at this point, all their rage erupted.
The great battle between ferocious beasts and humans was on the verge of breaking out.
“All units attention! Long-range firepower cover, absolutely do not let the ferocious beasts charge through! Superpower team, follow me and adapt to kill ferocious beasts!”
Commander Xu made a decisive move and quickly gave orders.
At his command, the rockets and missiles deployed behind them were immediately launched, bombarding the ferocious beasts.
Facing the heavy firepower of humans, these ferocious beasts, only E-rank and F-rank, immediately suffered heavy losses.
E-rank ones were fine, having some resistance to hot weapons, but F-rank ones were miserable; as soon as they were hit by a missile, they were instantly blown to pieces.
After suffering many losses, humans finally revealed their ferocious claws.
Soon, the heavy firepower carpet bombing ended; after all, it was a temporary reinforcement, and the ammunition carried was limited.
Although heavy firepower had eliminated nearly 60% of the ferocious beasts, there were still a few E-rank and a dozen F-rank ferocious beasts alive.
“Charge!”
Commander Xu took a deep breath and ordered.
The next moment, the superpower team followed Commander Xu and charged forward, directly confronting the ferocious beasts.
To be safe, the five of them surrounded a wild dog over two meters tall; judging by its aura, it was an F-rank ferocious beast.
