Gray wolf pack
“That… hello, Big Brother, my name is Lin Shuang. We were all students at the University of Technology before, and now we’ve formed an Alliance called the University of Technology Immortal Cultivation Alliance. Thank you very much for saving our people.”
Although Lin Shuang was a bit scared, he still led his team back.
One of the girls helped the frightened twin-tailed girl, who had collapsed onto the ground, stand up, and then they both bowed to Lu Yao.
Immediately after, Lin Shuang looked at Lu Yao with concern and said, “Big Brother, these people are from the Jia Ke Alliance. They are an Alliance formed by the celebrity Li Sijia, and it’s said that they’ve already grown to over a hundred people.”
At this point, Lin Shuang felt a bit jealous.
He had formed his Alliance last night and had been recruiting people all day today. But no matter what they said, no one was willing to join their Alliance.
Even having the girls in the Alliance step forward didn't help; instead, they were often teased by others.
Currently, their Alliance only had eleven members in total, all of whom were students from their University of Technology.
Yet, Li Sijia, who had formed her Alliance at the same time as him, had easily recruited over a hundred people, which made him feel very unbalanced.
“When these people came to cause trouble just now, they had already contacted their Alliance Leader. They’re probably arriving soon, so you should leave quickly. It’ll be troublesome if they see you.”
It sounded like he was concerned for Lu Yao's safety.
But Lu Yao naturally saw through his little scheme at a glance.
He glanced at Lin Shuang indifferently, “Where is the purple treasure chest?”
Lin Shuang’s face turned pale.
He used the excuse of concern to make Lu Yao leave because he was afraid Lu Yao would compete with them for the purple treasure chest. He had hoped to take advantage of the situation, but he didn't expect Lu Yao wouldn't fall for it.
“Big Brother, the purple treasure chest is guarded by a pack of gray wolves. It might be dangerous for you to go alone. And the Jia Ke Alliance’s people are coming soon…”
Lin Shuang still wanted to stop Lu Yao, but Lu Yao directly interrupted him, “Where is it?”
Lin Shuang stammered, clearly not wanting to say.
Behind him, a Pot Lid Head boy wearing glasses said, “That purple treasure chest was discovered by us first. You’re not going to be like these bandits and try to steal it from us too, are you?”
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than Lu Yao pointed his gun at his neck.
They remembered the scene of Lu Yao killing people just now, and their faces instantly turned ashen. A foul-smelling liquid flowed directly from between the Pot Lid Head boy’s legs.
“Do you have an opinion?”
Lu Yao asked coldly.
He knew these people too well; they wouldn't even dare to fart in front of ruffians, but if they faced someone easy to talk to, they would become ruffians themselves, always liking to stand on the moral high ground to accuse others!
Therefore, Lu Yao bothered not to say another word of nonsense to them.
“No… no opinion.”
The Pot Lid Head boy was so scared his legs went soft. He tremblingly raised his hand to point the direction to Lu Yao, “The purple treasure chest is in the valley behind us. If you go around this way, it’s just a few dozen meters.”
Although Lin Shuang was displeased, he dared not say anything more.
However, he had a flash of inspiration and said to Lu Yao, “Big Brother, let us lead the way for you.”
After speaking, he walked to the front.
Rounding a hillside, there was indeed a small valley ahead, and the dazzling light emitted by the purple treasure chest could be seen from afar.
However, surrounding the purple treasure chest were at least thirty gray wolves, each about the size of an adult local dog from the village.
Some were lying on the ground basking in the sun, others stood on rocks looking out, with a pair of pointed ears perked up.
As soon as anyone approached the valley, they would immediately be discovered.
“It’s just ahead, Big Brother. You must be very careful.”
Lin Shuang pretended to be concerned.
Lu Yao ignored him and quietly took a few steps forward.
There were over thirty wild wolves in the valley, so he naturally wouldn't be reckless. He wanted to check the wolves’ attributes first before making a decision.
As he continuously approached, he quickly saw the wolves’ attributes:
[Gray Wolf: Ordinary Beast (No Realm)]
[HP: 55 / 55]
[Attributes: Strength 8, Agility 15, Defense 4, Spirit 2]
[Skills: Sharp Claws (Low Grade Mortal), Bite (Low Grade Mortal)]
[Analysis: Pack beasts, possessing a certain degree of tactical cooperation. Usually, each pack has a leader.]
“There are actually two skills!”
Lu Yao was secretly surprised.
The gray wolves were stronger than the beasts he had encountered before.
He quickly checked the gray wolves’ two skills.
[Sharp Claws: Uses sharp claws to attack enemies, dealing 150% agility damage.]
[Bite: Gray wolves possess astonishing biting force. Once bitten, it will cause 400% strength damage.]
“Damn, are these Low Grade Mortal skills? Their power is almost comparable to my High Grade Mortal skills.”
Lu Yao secretly clicked his tongue.
The gray wolves’ attack power was strong, but fortunately, their HP was not high. As long as he hit a vital point, even a normal attack could be a one-shot kill!
Moreover, he also had Superior Iron Armor for protection, with nearly 17 points of defense, so the gray wolves’ normal attacks wouldn't cause him any damage.
If he really couldn't win, he could just switch to the Nimble Daoist Robe and run away.
Lin Shuang’s group hadn't left, and Lu Yao clearly knew what they were planning. If the wolf pack chased after him, he would lead them towards Lin Shuang’s group. As long as he ran faster than them, he would be safe.
Thinking of this, Lu Yao no longer hesitated and walked straight into the valley.
“Brother Shuang, he went in.”
Seeing Lu Yao walk towards the valley, the screw-head man immediately became a bit excited.
Lin Shuang hummed in acknowledgment, his gaze fixed on Lu Yao’s back, and he said darkly, “Everyone get ready. When he and the wolf pack are both severely wounded, we’ll all rush in together, kill the person first, then kill the wolves!”
The twin-tailed girl was greatly startled upon hearing this and quickly advised, “Senior, he just saved us. Isn’t this repaying kindness with enmity?”
In her heart, Lu Yao was her Prince Charming.
Although she hadn't had time to express her admiration, she would never allow others to harm Lu Yao.
Lin Shuang took her hand and comforted her, “Junior Jiaojiao, look at his attitude towards us? Clearly, he didn't genuinely save us; he just wanted to snatch our purple treasure chest.”
“I know everyone doesn’t want to kill people, but you’ve seen how cruel this world is. If we don’t kill others, others will kill us. We must quickly improve our strength, or we will only be at the mercy of others! That purple treasure chest might be our chance to turn things around, and I will never allow it to be taken by someone else.”
“Classmates, if you don’t dare to act, I will! As the Alliance Leader, I deeply regret not being able to protect Junior Jiaojiao just now. I will never allow the same thing to happen again. I must become strong!”
He spoke with righteous indignation, and his classmates all looked at him with admiration.
Even the twin-tailed girl hesitated.
“I support the Alliance Leader!”
The Pot Lid Head boy clenched his fists tightly. The humiliation he suffered just now, he must return it in full!
“I agree too.” Lin Shuang’s girlfriend pondered for a moment and also nodded.
“The purple treasure chest is ours, and no one can take it away!” the screw-head boy gritted his teeth and said.
The others expressed no objections.
Lin Shuang’s gaze also became more resolute.
Now, all that remained was to wait for Lu Yao and the wolf pack to both be severely wounded!
