76: Chapter 76 The Second Fiendish Golden Wolf?

Rip...

On the other side, the Sha Jin Wolf rolled on the ground, threw off the Claw-Tooth Wolf clinging to its back, and quickly stood up. It charged at the Claw-Tooth Wolf that had just regained its footing and bit into its throat.

With a three-level difference and the enhancement of the Hundred-Refined Body, the Claw-Tooth Wolf's throat was crushed by the Sha Jin Wolf in almost an instant. After finishing this, the Sha Jin Wolf dashed with all its might toward Qin Ding.

"Awoo!"

Its pitch-black wolf eyes reflected the Claw-Tooth Wolf that Qin Ding had thrown off, as well as Qin Ding, who was about to stand up.

In that instant, the Sha Jin Wolf's killing intent seemed to be smoothed away. Without the slightest hesitation, it bit into the back of the neck of the last Claw-Tooth Wolf.

The terrifying bite force instantly severed the Claw-Tooth Wolf's flesh, blood vessels, and the spine at the back of its neck. The ghastly white spine was ripped out by the Sha Jin Wolf in a vicious instant.

"It was my misjudgment. Fortunately, it's nothing serious."

After speaking, Qin Ding glanced at his injured arm, which had been scratched by the Claw-Tooth Wolf's claws when he threw it off earlier.

The Sha Jin Wolf dropped the Claw-Tooth Wolf and immediately darted in front of Qin Ding. Looking at the wound on Qin Ding's right arm where the flesh was slightly turned outward, anger and sadness intertwined in the Sha Jin Wolf's heart.

"Woo..." [Boss, it's my fault for not protecting you well...]

"Hm?" Seeming a bit surprised by the Sha Jin Wolf's words, Qin Ding paused in surprise before decisively shaking his head. "You've already done very well. When venturing into the wild, getting injured is a matter of time. It's impossible to return safely every single time like the last one."

"It's just a flesh wound."

After speaking, Qin Ding glanced at the patches of missing fur and the lacerated skin on the Earth Dog's back, then curled his lip. "You're talking about me? Don't you also have a wound on your back from the Claw-Tooth Wolf?"

The scene quieted down. The man and the wolf stared at each other for a while before Qin Ding pulled another Storage Ring from his Storage Ring.

"I remember this Storage Ring contains some medicine..."

As Qin Ding muttered to himself, he had already taken out two types of medicine from the Storage Ring.

This Storage Ring belonged to that group of burly men. Inside, besides clothes, there was at most some medicine, and other than that, only a few federal bank cards...

Qin Ding didn't know where to fence this kind of Storage Ring, so he simply kept it in his own Storage Ring. It had been there for over half a month, and he only remembered there was medicine inside now that he was injured.

"Ointment for external wounds, recommended for spirit beasts below level 20."

"Ointment for external wounds, recommended for Beast Tamers below Tier 3 Mental Energy..."

Looking at the two items in his hands that looked identical, with only the distinction between human use and beast use, as well as the simple and clear usage instructions, Qin Ding couldn't stop his eyes from widening in surprise.

"I'd heard long ago that the medicine from the Beast Tamer Hospital was simple and crude, but is it really like this?"

Because they were medicine, the Life Records did not pop up. Qin Ding sniffed the scent and could smell a bitter, fragrant aroma, like the bitterness of traditional Chinese medicine mixed with the fragrance of spirit items.

To be safe, Qin Ding handed the medicine jar in his hand to the Sha Jin Wolf.

"Come, take a sniff and see if you can smell any problems."

Da Hei leaned forward, sniffed, and shook his head.

"Awoo." [Boss, I don't smell any problems.]

Hearing this, Qin Ding nodded slightly. He took out the medicine spoon that came with the medicine, scooped a spoonful, and flicked it onto the corpse of the Claw-Tooth Wolf nearby. Seeing that the corpse did not show signs of festering, he finally felt completely relieved.

"Come, let me apply the medicine to you first."

Holding the spoon, he applied the ointment to Da Hei's body spoonful by spoonful, then used his hand to spread it as evenly as possible. Afterward, Qin Ding opened the jar for human use and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The one for humans is this runny?"

He saw that the medicine jar for humans didn't contain solid ointment, but rather a flowable ointment similar to porridge. Other than that, there was no difference in the appearance of the two medicines when stationary.

There wasn't even a medicine spoon included inside.

He let Da Hei sniff it again and confirmed that the human version was just runnier than the beast version.

After a moment of contemplation, Qin Ding glanced at the Earth Dog's expression, which seemed somewhat comfortable, and then thought about how he shared 20% of Da Hei's physique.

He simply put the human version away and chose to use the beast version directly.

The moment the ointment was applied to the wound, Qin Ding's first sensation was cold—very cold. It was so cold that he couldn't help but gasp, but it also made the wound feel very comfortable, completely devoid of the burning sensation from just before.

Qin Ding couldn't help but shiver and took a deep breath. "This beast medicine has quite a kick. It'll probably heal faster too."

After quickly taking gauze and tape from his Storage Ring to bandage himself, and then bandaging Da Hei, Qin Ding finally began to collect the corpses of the five Claw-Tooth Wolves.

"Five high-level Earth Element Inner Cores, plus these five wolf pelts, I can sell them for another ten or twenty thousand federal currency."

There was no annoyance in Qin Ding's tone regarding his injuries, only a longing for making money.

To him, earning money meant he could become stronger, and he could accomplish his and the Earth Dog's goal.

Da Hei watched from the side, its wolf muzzle twitching, clearly hungry.

"The last one..."

"Woo!" [Boss, I smell the scent of my own kind, and they're coming toward us!]

Hm? My own kind?

Hearing this, Qin Ding, who had been wiping the last blood-stained Inner Core, paused, his brows furrowing. "My own kind?"

"Is it the same as the ones on the ground, a wolf, or is it like you?"

Da Hei's pupils constricted, and with a movement of its body, it instantly blocked Qin Ding.

"Awoo!" [It's like me... It's here!]

The Storage Ring on his finger flashed with white light, and the long spear, which had been put away only a few minutes ago, was back in his hand.

Qin Ding looked with a serious expression in the direction Da Hei was watching.

In the dim woods ahead, a familiar-looking black wolf walked out, carrying a young man on its back.

[Beast: Sha Jin Wolf] [Potential: Excellent] [Element: Gold] [Level: 12 (High Tier)] [Abilities: Grudge-holding, Stubborn Stone Body, Black Iron Claw] [Bloodline: Wolf-type (100%)] [Evolution Path (Wolf-type): Must reach level 30.] [Potential Upgrade: Must reach level 30.] [Introduction: A close-combat wolf that specializes in physical body. It is fierce in close combat, but its speed and agility are slightly lacking. It may be kited when encountering fast enemies, but it has good cultivation value.]

The young man on the wolf's back squinted as he sized up Da Hei, his eyes gradually darkening. His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by a low growl from the Sha Jin Wolf beneath him.

"Woo."

The young man's moving lips froze. He squinted and sized up Qin Ding, pondering internally, "A Sha Jin Wolf, and its level is even higher than mine. Is he a Tier 2 Mental Power user, or just a stupid brute?"

"But looking at this battlefield and the post-battle situation, he doesn't look like a fool; it looks more like he really has Tier 2 Mental Power... How could someone like this appear in a place like Chang City?"

He tried hard to recall, and after confirming that there was no one like the person before him in the First to Third High Schools of Chang City, the young man's expression gradually became wary.

Could it be that the number of transfer quotas for Chang City this year really increased by one?

Cultivation talent is innate, but if one has powerful Beast Tamers among their parents or ancestors, then future offspring have a greater possibility of advancing further. The more generations removed, the smaller this possibility becomes.

Commonly known as atavism, this is an atavistic phenomenon unique to humans.

A peer with Tier 2 Mental Power... I'm afraid both his parents are at least Tier 7, Commander-level Beast Tamers!

His parents are probably much stronger than even my grandfather.

Did he come down from a Level 1 City... No, or even a Federal City?!

Xiang Tian, not daring to think further, shook his head violently.

"You're not a student from Chang City? Among the people with assets in Chang City, there's no one like you..."

"Who are you?"
