Chapter 51: Challenging the Leader
“Take care of the rest of them, Chief Lu. I’ll go after their leader so it doesn’t escape.”
After leaving those words, Ji Ye dropped his emptied crossbow, took out his Black Serpent Sword, and rushed to the alpha wolf by running along the cliff wall.
At the main battlefield below, Jiang Wenming finished off another wounded wolf using his numb arm and suddenly saw Ji Ye’s movement.
“He has alacrity skills?”
Just as he raised his head and saw this scene, his eyes revealed a look of yearning.
He had always been a big fan of wuxia stories and couldn’t help but feel excited when thinking about how he might learn something similar in the Land of Inheritance.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOf course, Ji Ye wasn’t using an alacrity skill. It was his Primordial Chaos Force that allowed him to boost his strength, enabling him to jump several times higher and faster than normal. Strictly speaking, this wasn’t an alacrity skill, but jumping. Thus, the stones and floor in his path were cracked under his force.
If it wasn’t because he had accumulated enough experience in extreme sports, he definitely wouldn’t have dared to do this.
However, to be honest, Ji Ye naturally yearned to have such alacrity. The agility and speed of the wolves in front of him could be said to be the strongest ground creature he had ever seen.
He wondered if he would have the chance to drop the legendary alacrity skill after killing this Steelback Blue Alpha Wolf.
Seeing their leader in danger, some of the Blue Wolves ditched their targets and turned to chase Ji Ye. action
Using Primordial Chaos Force, Ji Ye slashed at the closest wolf with his sword, successfully cutting it in two halves from the middle. Thankfully, the sword could control the spilled blood or he would have been soaked in red from head to toe.
However, the suicidal attacks of the lesser wolves successfully hindered Ji Ye’s actions. Those wolves were of lower ranks, but Ji Ye couldn’t completely disregard their attacks or he would still get hurt. At this rate, he could no longer focus on the alpha wolf while preventing all the other ones from attacking as they gave chase.
The situation was made worse when the alpha wolf had clearly realized their plan, after seeing its “strongest soldiers” being butchered by Lu Zhishen within seconds. Bit by bit, it began retreating from the battlefield.
Of course, Ji Ye wouldn’t allow it to leave.
“Roarrrr!”
To everyone’s surprise, Ji Ye suddenly tried imitating a wolf by howling into the sky. His strange action even astounded the chasing wolves that were trying to stop him; they suddenly paused and stopped moving for a moment.
“Fu*k. This actually worked?” Ji Ye glanced at the confused wolves in disbelief.
He had never learned any “sound attacks” before. That was only a small trick he remembered from a survivalist chat group. According to a certain “veteran,” he could mimic the threatening cry of a wolf to pretend that he wanted to challenge their leader, in case that he stumbled into a full pack of wolves in the wilds. As long as there was only one enemy, he could look for a way to escape.
This unreliable idea was even supported by many other members of the group.
Ji Ye didn’t know what he was thinking about at the moment. But he did remember it.
Of course it was a joke. This “veteran” never showed up again in the group, probably because he had tried out his silly tactic and ended up getting eaten by wolves.
Normally, Ji Ye would have never believed such a thing. But he still did it out of desperation. He had never expected it to have any effect.
Grrrr...
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe alpha wolf stopped moving, probably because it did consider Ji Ye as a challenger. Running away meant it would lose its leadership, as well as its lovely mates in the pack.
It slowly arched its back higher, bared its sharp fangs and gazed at Ji Ye with gleaming eyes.
“You’re staying? Good.”
Taking the chance when nothing was stopping him, Ji Ye quickly reached the top of the platform to face the alpha. Without giving his opponent any time to get ready, he slashed with his Black Serpent Sword at the wolf’s head.
The black fur on the creature was even sturdier than the Mandrill’s hair. The weapon was stopped as if it had struck metal. Though the great impact of Ji Ye’s Primordial Chaos Force still caused the wolf to stumble.
The attack wasn’t completely in vain; it left a small cut on the wolf’s forehead, from where blood seeped out. As long as there was flesh wound, the sword could speed up the bleeding process by an order of magnitude.
Enraged, the wolf straightened its legs and went for Ji Ye’s neck. Due to its size, it could do so while standing on all fours.
However, it only snapped empty air between its jaws.
Due to the serious blood loss and the great knock on the head, it could no longer see its target clearly. Ji Ye needed only to move slightly aside to evade it.
Since the wolf had been slowed down, Ji Ye quickly saw another chance and slashed again, gouging a slit on the wolf’s back this time.
