26: Chapter 26 Desert Wolf Pack, Terrifying Two-Legged Beasts

In reality, even Leng Shi herself was unaware that her iceberg-like heart was slowly thawing.

At that moment, Captain Qin Hao saw the kill notification.

[Congratulations, player, for killing a Desert Giant Python. Obtained energy core ×1, dropped items: refined iron ×10]

Just then, Captain Qin Hao's Danger Perception suddenly issued a warning—an attacker was about to arrive.

He hurriedly scanned his surroundings and, after observing for a moment, finally noticed something amiss.

Not far from them, a desert wolf was lying in ambush, slowly creeping closer.

Captain Qin Hao frowned. Wolves are pack animals. When you spot one wolf, you might soon face an entire pack!

He relayed this information to the women.

"What? There are desert wolves here?"

"And there might be a whole pack?"

It was astonishing that wolves could survive in such harsh desert conditions. Their ability to endure such an environment likely meant their combat prowess was formidable.

Rao Shuqing and the others were greatly surprised.

Captain Qin Hao said, "I'll collect the treasure chest, then we'll move closer to the Spaceship."

With that, he quickly dashed to the nest and retrieved the chest.

[Obtained Bronze Treasure Chest ×1]

Then, he led the women toward the location of the Spaceship.

"Oh no, Captain Qin Hao, we're surrounded!" Rao Shuqing exclaimed in shock.

They realized that more and more desert wolves were gathering in the distance, coming from all directions, with the largest concentration behind them!

"Owooo!"

A wolf's howl echoed, low and powerful, carrying an intense sense of pressure.

Captain Qin Hao frowned slightly. Truthfully, he wasn't afraid for himself, but he was somewhat worried about the Counselor and the others.

Because he noticed these were all ordinary wolves; their leader was probably the one that had gained sentience.

"These desert wolves look thinner and smaller than grassland wolves, but they seem fiercer and more resistant to hunger and thirst," Captain Qin Hao murmured.

"Yeah, they look really savage."

As Captain Qin Hao and the others retreated, the desert wolves gradually gathered, reaching over a dozen in number. Moreover, the wolf king in the rear seemed to have appeared—it was the one directing the pack.

Among them, two wolves went straight for the giant python, beginning to tear into it, creating a gruesome scene.

At this moment, Captain Qin Hao was also taken aback. Only a dozen or so wolves? Then why were they running?

"Damn, maybe because desert resources are scarce, there seem to be only about a dozen wolves. We're not running anymore."

Captain Qin Hao suddenly declared.

"What? Captain, are we just waiting to die if we don't run?" Zhao Zihan asked, puzzled.

Captain Qin Hao was speechless. Could she really be all looks and no brains?

He said exasperatedly, "Zihan, did all your IQ really go to your chest? It's only a dozen wolves. We fight back! We'll chop them into mincemeat."

He had initially thought that if the wolf pack numbered in the hundreds, they should run for it. Besides, he didn't even like wolf meat.

He never expected a mere dozen wolves would dare to surround them. They really had some nerve. How dare they?

If Emperor Captain Qin Hao didn't display some of his divine abilities, they wouldn't know who's boss.

"Captain, you... you... don't scold me,"

Zhao Zihan gritted her teeth. She had only asked because no one else responded to Captain Qin Hao's words, and this jerk Captain Qin Hao actually dared to insult her. She was furious.

Ling Xiaoke and the others snickered.

Rao Shuqing also nodded and said, "Then, Captain Qin Hao, you take command."

Captain Qin Hao assessed, "From my observation, these are all ordinary wolves. Only the wolf king has gained sentience, reaching Level 1 Low Tier."

"With the physical enhancements from the constitution strengthening fluid you've taken, you can definitely handle them. Plus, you have weapons."

The reason humans have no natural predators is because they use weapons.

In the eyes of animals, bipedal beasts are relatively weak. Of course, that changes when bipedal beasts pick up weapons, especially when they bring out 'the truth.' Then, bipedal beasts become the apex of the natural food chain.

"Oh, we understand," Lu Shuang nodded.

Captain Qin Hao said, "The most important thing is for you not to be afraid."

"Follow me and charge! Let's kill them!"

Captain Qin Hao charged forward directly, wielding a large machete.

Rao Shuqing, Zhao Zihan, Leng Shi, Ling Xiaoke, and Lu Shuang also followed Captain Qin Hao into the fray.

"Owooo~"

The wolf's howl echoed again. The sentient wolf king, seeing the charging bipedal beasts, was instantly roused to fury, rallying the pack to surround and tear them apart.

Immediately, the wolf pack moved, charging toward Captain Qin Hao and the others.

Captain Qin Hao seized the moment, swiftly cleaving one wolf in two.

Two wolves lunged at his legs. He kicked the one on the left, sending it flying and half-dead, then quickly retracted his blade and slashed the one on the right to death.

"Thud!"

He stomped heavily on the head of the kicked and dazed wolf, causing its head to burst open—dead beyond any doubt.

He transformed into a human-shaped Gundam and charged again, displaying extreme ferocity.

Captain Qin Hao's actions terrified the wolf king, nearly scaring it out of its wits.

How could this bipedal beast be so fierce? Whose general is he? Truly terrifying.

On the other side, the women also realized they could no longer be weak and let Captain Qin Hao shoulder the burden alone.

They overcame their inner fears and engaged the wolf pack in combat.

Overall, the women held the upper hand.

"Go to hell!"

After dodging a wolf's attack, Rao Shuqing kicked it down and then severed its head with one sword stroke.

As the Counselor, Rao Shuqing was more composed. She was also the first among the women to kill a wolf.

The other women also began to contribute one after another.

Lu Shuang had a tougher time, as three wolves were attacking her.

Her left leg was accidentally bitten, and her right thigh was slashed, leaving a long scratch.

But she gritted her teeth and held on. She was actually quite steady, not as delicate as the other girls.

Fortunately, Captain Qin Hao provided timely support, and together they killed the three wolves.

"Wow, Shi Shi, you're really talented!" Zhao Zihan exclaimed after cutting down a wolf with her sword.

Because she saw Leng Shi applying her innate ability to her sword, forming a frost blade that seemed even more powerful.

Moreover, with her innate ability in hand, she wielded it with incredible fluidity, fighting two wolves alone and killing them unscathed.

Captain Qin Hao was also taken aback. Leng Shi was quite capable. It might be good to have her act as a frost archer.

In the end, they successfully dealt with the entire wolf pack.

The women were all delighted. This was their first direct confrontation with such danger, and they achieved a great victory.

"Wow, we're actually this strong! Like Shi Shi, taking on three wolves alone wouldn't be a problem!"

This successful battle greatly boosted their confidence, marking a transformation.

Captain Qin Hao nodded. It seemed he should find opportunities to train all the women on the ship in the future.

"Heh, still trying to run?" Captain Qin Hao looked at the rapidly retreating wolf king and sneered.

He moved with extreme speed, pushing himself to the limit, almost flying as he instantly caught up to the wolf king and ended it with a single slash.

They really had some nerve, daring to provoke a bipedal beast with weapons. They clearly didn't know how to spell 'death'.
