Chapter 68: Mission at Wolf Fang Pass
"It wasn’t as smooth as expected." Bone Powder had to stop because his binoculars spotted a wolf pack ahead.
There were about a hundred Wilderness Wolves, led by a Level 40 Mid-Level Fierce Beast, with two Basic-level Fierce Beasts, and the rest at Level 20. Even at Level 20, they were as big as tigers.
That wild and primal aura, Bone Powder had been to zoos to see tigers and lions, but in front of these creatures, they seemed like cute little kittens.
Thankfully, he had binoculars, and the wolves hadn’t spotted him yet, so Bone Powder immediately took a detour from a distance.
"The mission is priority."
Soon, the wolf pack arrived at the spot where Bone Powder had paused.
The wolves started sniffing around, as if they had discovered something.
"Not good!" Bone Powder from afar was keeping a close eye on the movements of the wolf pack through his binoculars.
The wolves that should have moved straight ahead stopped? Right where Bone Powder had paused?
The Mid-Level Fierce Beast in the lead, the Wilderness Savage Wolf, sniffed and sniffed, coming up to the traces where Bone Powder had been watching.
It looked in the direction where Bone Powder departed, and howled at the sky.
The other Wilderness Wolves immediately responded with howls, looking toward the direction Bone Powder had left.
Strike first to gain the advantage.
Innate Skills, Shooting! Activated voluntarily.
Divine Techniques: Quadruple Shot.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out.
The bullet automatically corrected its trajectory and instantly pierced the eye socket of the Level 40 Wilderness Savage Wolf, reducing its Life by more than a third, then three more bullet shadows penetrated, emptying its health.
The Level 40 Mid-Level Fierce Beast, Wilderness Savage Wolf, fell to the ground dead.
With the death of the alpha wolf, the pack fell into chaos and fled in panic.
Ding: Congratulations, for killing the Mid-Level Fierce Beast Wilderness Savage Wolf, you gained 6000 Experience, and proficiency increased.
Bone Powder’s eyes lit up, "Not bad, not bad."
"It’s been a while since I received such a large experience package."
He quickly scanned the other two Basic-level Fierce Beasts, but they were all fleeing, moving very fast, making it difficult to confidently aim for vital points.
After a brief hesitation, Bone Powder put away his sniper rifle and didn’t pursue them.
At this moment, his face looked slightly pale and weak, so he quickly downed a Blood Spirit Potion.
Then he stayed put to catch his breath and calculate.
The seemingly easy shot just now had actually used up the combat technique he possessed - Blood Qi Power.
Bone Weapons are much more expensive than Stone Weapons, but their quality is not as hard, with a higher chance of breaking upon collision, yet they are essential for combat.
The reason is that Bone Weapons can conduct Blood Qi, greatly increasing their power, roughly tenfold under extreme circumstances, while Stone Weapons cannot do so.
This is why a Level 30 combatant can defeat nearly tenfold the number of Level 30 hunters.
Blood Qi conduction also has a weakness, which is that it depletes rapidly when away from the body, only suitable for close combat, not long-range attacks.
Besides Bone Weapons, Metal Weapons have even better Blood Qi conduction effects and are more durable; this is something Bone Powder has tried.
But Metal Weapons are the standard for Witches, no other reason, just expensive.
Bone Powder’s bullets are also metal, capable of conducting and infusing Blood Qi.
Earlier, he had infused more than half of his body’s Blood Qi to kill in one move.
Upon review now, the bullet left the body at such high speed that even so, the Blood Qi seemed to dissipate by about seventy to eighty percent; there was only about one or two times enhancement upon impact, otherwise, with ten times the power, the first bullet should have one-shot the Level 40 Wilderness Savage Wolf.
In this light, facing High-Level Fierce Beasts doesn’t give much confidence for a one-shot kill.
However, Bone Powder was quite satisfied.
Under the binoculars, he observed the remaining Wilderness Wolves, which had disappeared from view, knowing well the way to save their lives, they seemed to split in two directions instead of coming toward him.
"Lucky for you!" Bone Powder thought, and his Bone Horse moved forward.
He was reluctant to leave behind the Mid-Level Fierce Beast’s corpse.
After all, within such a short time, Blood Vine had consumed more than half of the warehouse’s inventory of flesh, leaving just the food for Bone Powder and his companions.
Blood Vine had been quite satisfactory and was close to Level 30, growing to the thickness of a thigh, with many branches resembling snakes spread on the ground.
Plus, it was his first hunt of a Mid-Level Fierce Beast.
But it was too large; how to carry it was a head-scratcher.
Came the time to the body, Bone Powder felt a bit of a headache.
He had no choice but to sprinkle Secret Bone Powder to resurrect an enhanced Bone Horse with a flat back, loaded it up, and headed toward Wolf Fang Pass.
Under normal circumstances, the six-hour mission time was tight just to travel the distance, even when knowing the path.
However, this didn’t account for riding a Bone Beast.
Soon, Bone Powder had covered over half the journey.
The journey was smooth and safe, and the three occasional scattered Level 20 Wilderness Wolves naturally became corpses.
The frugal Bone Powder didn’t abandon the bodies, dragging them along forcibly.
Now, nearing Wolf Fang Pass, he unexpectedly saw seven or eight Wilderness Wolves, led by a Level 30 Basic-level Fierce Beast Wilderness Savage Wolf.
They were approaching him.
Bone Powder was pleased, dropped a Level 20 wolf carcass, and quickly pulled away to distance himself.
Soon, the wolves arrived at the corpse and indeed stopped.
The Level 30 Wilderness Savage Wolf moved closer to sniff the corpse.
Innate Skills, Shooting! Activated voluntarily.
Divine Techniques: Quadruple Shot.
Bang!
The Wilderness Savage Wolf fell to the ground directly, 3000 experience gained.
This time, no need to consume Blood Qi power.
The other Wilderness Wolves panicked, fleeing immediately.
Bang!
Bang!
...!
No skills were deployed for these shots, leaving three Level 20 Wilderness Wolves behind, the others had fled far away, their escape was indeed impressive.
Bone Powder dismounted and proceeded on foot.
Consistent skill use had made him feel fatigued, a slight throbbing at his brow.
Two Bone Horses dragged a total of eight prey, stacked high, trudging forward with difficulty.
However, with Wolf Fang Pass in sight, danger was no more, safely reaching the destination.
It was a completely different sight from last time, in disarray.
Yet the Totem Pole still stood in the very center of the exit, with the Witch leaning against it, surrounded by only three combatants, one with just one arm left.
Bone Powder fixed his eyes and saw only the Witch label, other attributes, health bar were a mystery: ???
The three combatants’ stats revealed more, none had over half their Life, one slightly wounded, two severely injured.
"Finally, someone has arrived. When will reinforcements arrive?" The Witch looked up at Bone Powder, while the lightly injured combatant stepped forward.
Content: Inform Wolf Fang Pass, reinforcements will arrive in 6 hours. (To be submitted)
Reward: Favor with the stationed Witch and Skill Black Bone, unlocking Wolf Fang Pass mission.
