Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

"Ok, everybody make the necessary preparations. We have to be careful, we can’t let this guy escape. When I count to three, everyone will rush out together, destroy his arms but make sure you don’t harm his life."

Looking at the wooden bow behind his back, an icy glow appeared in his eyes. A few days ago, his metal bow had been taken away by the Southern Mountain Village people, and the cause of all of this, was Fang Zhengzhi. This vengeance was something he couldn’t swallow.

"Understood. Deputy captain don’t worry, we will act appropriately!" The hunting squad members nodded. The Northern and Southern villagers were mutually dependent. Appropriate forms of revenge and conflicts were always present, but if killing occurred, this relationship would be destroyed completely.

"One"

"Two"

"..."

"Awoo!"

Just when Zhang Yangping was about to count to three, the howling sound of a huge beast suddenly resonated throughout the entire Cang Ling Mountain.

This stunned all of the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad members, who were already prepared to act. This sound... was too near, as if it sounded out from right beside their ears.

"This..." A hunting squad member was somewhat puzzled.

...

Fang Zhengzhi was similarly rather puzzled. He was just reading his book, where did such a loud howl even come from? He had stayed in the Cang Ling Mountain for some time, and had encountered a countless number of animals.

But...

This sound definitely couldn’t have come from just any ordinary beast.

"Awoo!"

As he pondered, a humongous shadow shot out with lightning speed from the dense forests, and ended up less than hundred metres away from Fang Zhengzhi.

...

"What the... f*ck! It’s humongous!" Fang Zhengzhi was truly shocked this time. The beast in front of him was really too big. It was at least twice the size of the Metal-Toothed Thorn Hog.

Its navy blue fur were like metal needles enveloping its body. Its razor-sharp front claws were perched on a piece of stone, and those black claws emanated the cold air of the forest. They looked even sharper than the two metal fangs on the Metal-Toothed Thorn Hog.

Most uniquely, on the forehead of this wild beast, there was a line of fire-red fur. That fur was like a blazing trail, leading all the way from its forehead to its tail...

"Blue... Blue Fire Wolf!"

"Deputy captain, it’s... it’s the Blue Fire Wolf!"

When the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad saw the beast that shot out, they trembled uncontrollably, the weapons in their hands almost dropping to the ground in fear.

Zhang Yangping shook uncontrollably with shock.

Blue Fire Wolf, this was the real king of the Cang Ling Mountain outskirts.

It couldn’t even be classified as a beast anymore, it was a truly fearsome monster!

"Deputy captain, what should we do?" A hunter’s legs trembled in fear. Faced with the monster Blue Fire Wolf, there was only one way. That was to run, run as far as they possibly could.

The Blue Fire Wolf was too strong, even adding a few people to their group, they were nothing compared to the Blue Fire Wolf, much less their strength of twenty over people.

Shoot arrows?

I’m afraid that before you even manage to pull your bow, the Blue Fire Wolf would have already pounced right in front of you.

Moreover, even if you somehow managed to shoot a few, that wasn’t sufficient to injure the Blue Fire Wolf. Because, the skin and fur on the Blue Fire Wolf was too thick. An average arrow could only at most scrape the surface of its skin, if one really intended to kill the Blue Fire Wolf with arrows, that was downright impossible.

"Run!" Zhang Yangping ordered, barely hesitating at all.

"How about the kid?

"Leave him, hurry up and run!"

...

Fang Zhengzhi also prepared to run. He didn’t even bother taking along his basket, among other personal items. This thing in front of him was obviously very terrifying. Even though he didn’t know what it was, but one look at its head told him that it was even bigger than the lion he knew from his previous world.

The reason he entered the mountain today was only to feed the animals, he didn’t even have a friend beside him.

Fight one to one?

Fang Zhengzhi wasn’t dumb.

But at the second he turned his body.

The Blue Fire Wolf also began to move, an icy yet blood-thirsty glint shining in its faint blue pupils. Slightly curving its front claws, its gigantic body shot towards Fang Zhengzhi like a streak of lightning.

"Snap!"

The sound of stepping on broken wood rang out and immediately after, the gigantic Blue Fire Wolf disappeared.

"Huh?" Looking back, Fang Zhengzhi instantly stopped running. In his sudden burst of panic, he had forgotten that he was surrounded by pitfalls.

No matter how deadly a beast was, as long as it stepped on the trap, it would definitely fall in!

...

"Deputy captain, quick, look! The Blue Fire Wolf seemed to have fallen into the trap!" A Northern Mountain Village hunting squad member who was preparing to run had just realised what was happening.

"Fell into the trap?" Zhang Yangping was similarly taken aback. He knew Fang Zhengzhi was surrounded by pitfalls, but, the Blue Fire Wolf was an extremely sly beast, it would never fall into just any ordinary trap.

But now...

"It really fell inside the trap, quick look, it’s just over there!" Another hunter shouted out.

"This kid’s traps are indeed amazing, don’t tell me even the Blue Fire Wolf had been tricked?" Zhang Yangping didn’t dare to believe, but this reality was unfolding right before his eyes.

"Deputy captain look, that kid is going over!

"Deputy captain, that is the Blue Fire Wolf, if it had really fallen into the trap, it’s definitely worth a huge amount of silver! I heard that the worth of the Blue Fire Wolf’s skin is even calculated in gold!"

The Northern Mountain Village hunting squad members were excited. Even though they deeply feared the Blue Fire Wolf, but after so many years of hunting on the mountain, how could they not have developed even a slightest blood-thirsty personality?

Right in front of their eyes, the Blue Fire Wolf had fallen into the trap. Their bad luck instantly turned into an opportunity.

The Blue Fire Wolf was indeed worth a lot of money, but just the thought of being able to remove such a huge hidden danger in the Cang Ling Mountain outskirts was definitely something worth risking

"Prepare to act, today we will snatch this Blue Fire Wolf first! This will make up for our losses these few days!" Zhang Yangping pondered for a short moment, then biting his teeth, gave his orders.

"Roger that!" The Northern Mountain Village hunting square began to shout out one by one.

While they shouted, they also didn’t dare to let down their guard. Each of them drew their bows and prepared to kill the Blue Fire Wolf together.

...

Fang Zhengzhi at this moment was walking unhurriedly towards the pitfall containing the Blue Fire Wolf. All of a sudden, he heard a wave of shouting around him, then, saw a few men wielding long blades and bows scuttling out from the bushes.

"You want to snatch my prey? This place is filled with traps!" Fang Zhengzhi immediately recognised that these people were the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad.

But, he wasn’t worried at all. Because, with the presence of these traps, they had absolutely no way of snatching.

Ideals are perfect, but reality is cruel.

Very quickly, Fang Zhengzhi began to realise something was amiss. All of the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad members seemed to have grown a pair of divine eyes, even though they ran as fast as rabbits, but all of them skidded around the traps skillfully.

What was happening?

Fang Zhengzhi felt that this was downright impossible.

Then...

Something even more impossible thing happened.

"Awoo!"

With an infuriated howl, the Blue Fire Wolf which had fallen into the trap suddenly jumped right out.

"..." Fang Zhengzhi was stunned.

The twenty over shouting hunting squad members were also similarly stunned.

All of them stared at this fearsome beast, their faces convulsed with pure fear. From those faint blue pupils, everyone had managed to infer one emotion...

Fury!

"The Blue Fire Wolf has jumped out, run away quick!"

"Run!"

After a moment of shock, the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad members immediately regained their senses and one following another, instantly began to run.

"Blue Fire Wolf? This is the Blue Fire Wolf?! But... why is there no fire?" Hearing the cries of the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad, a wave of suspicion swept over him.

Then, he suddenly regained his senses.

"What the f*ck, Blue Fire Wolf!"

His stumpy legs could instantly turn into wheels of fire, Fang Zhengzhi’s running speed was definitely not slow. But, compared to the Blue Fire Wolf, it was still slightly inferior.

With a "swoosh!", the Blue Fire Wolf leapt, and blocked off Fang Zhengzhi’s escape path.

Most importantly...

This time, Fang Zhengzhi had really managed to see fire.

At the instant the Blue Fire Wolf leapt, he saw with unmistakable clarity, a ball of bright-red flame engulfed its razor-sharp claws, and once the Blue Fire Wolf landed, that ball of flame once again mysteriously disappeared.

"There is really fire!"
