...

Fang Zhengzhi’s madly kicking legs stopped, sweat dripping like rain from his forehead.

What was terror, what was a narrow escape? He felt that at this moment, no one would be able to understand this feeling better than him.

It was too frightening.

A moment ago, when his short legs came into contact with the Blue Fire Wolf’s forehead, it felt as if the kick landed on a metal board.

The immense strength and resistance sent his heart to his throat. When he saw the Blue Fire Wolf’s salivating mouth biting down on him...

At the instant, Fang Zhengzhi felt as if he had stepped into the door of death.

Every single pore on his body leaked profusely with sweat. Fortunately, at this crucial period, his blanked-out mind finally unleashed its abilities. That feeling of desperation had pushed him to move everything he could control in his body onto his stumpy legs.

His heart only contained three words...

Give everything possible!

Then, the results seemed very remarkable. The Blue Fire Wolf was finally kicked away by him, at the same time, he felt a unique sensation. At that moment, he felt his stumpy legs fill up with power.

As if it was about to explode.

Wait a minute, just now, he seemed to be...

Controlling?!

That’s right, it was control. When the word control flashed in Fang Zhengzhi’s mind, he finally came to realisation. Running away now was downright impossible, the Blue Fire Wolf was too fast. If he dared to turn his body, his back would definitely get attacked.

That means he could only try to control his body.

I am now someone who can shatter a stone with one fist, I can’t be scared, I am very strong! Fang Zhengzhi reassured himself while trying to gain control over the flow of things in his body.

Thinking of that rejuvenating feeling of kicking away the Blue Fire Wolf, then looking at the Blue Fire Wolf staring at the ground, its nose and mouth dripping with blood.

His confidence instantly grew.

"That’s right, I am very strong!" Fang Zhengzhi bellowed, doing so to bolster his confidence further.

Some distance away, the already completely stunned Zhang Yangping and the rest of the hunting squad were instantly jolted back to their senses by these words.

"What is he saying?"

"He seems to have said... he is very strong?!"

"He’s indeed very strong!"

That last sentence came out from Zhang Yangping’s mouth. Even though he didn’t really understand what was going on, but, to be able to kick the Blue Fire Wolf away definitely wasn’t something luck could achieve.

"Deputy captain, now that the kid and the Blue Fire Wolf are confronting one another, let’s escape quickly!" A hunting squad member reminded in a soft voice.

"No!" Zhang Yangping suddenly bit down on his teeth. "This Blue Fire Wolf has been wreaking havoc in the Cang Ling Mountain outskirts for so many years, who knows how many villagers it had killed. Now... there’s an opportunity!"

"Opportunity?!" The hunting squad members couldn’t really understand his intentions.

"That’s right, an opportunity which we never had for so many years! All of you look, now that the Blue Fire Wolf is deep inside the trap formation area with that kid, it can drop down anytime. Furthermore, that kid has the ability to hold off the Blue Fire Wolf for a short time. This kind of opportunity, did we ever have it?" Zhang Yangping calmly analysed the situation.

As the deputy captain of the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad, he had the responsibility of ensuring the hunting squad members’ safety. But, as long as the threat of the Blue Fire Wolf remained, that safety would forever only be temporary.

"I will follow Deputy Captain!" A hunting squad member very quickly responded. His eyes were fixated on the Blue Fire Wolf not too far away with an icy glint in his eyes.

His own older brother, had died under the claws of the Blue Fire Wolf. At that time, he was only seventeen!

"I will also follow Deputy Captain!" Another member similarly stood out. There was an almost three inches long wound on his calf that extended into the bones. As long as it was a rainy day, it would become exceptionally painful.

This was due to running away too slowly during his previous encounter with the Blue Fire Wolf. In the end, he was slashed by the Blue Fire Wolf’s claws.

And that was the same time he personally witnessed his buddy, who stuck with him all the way since childhood, dying in the mouth of the Blue Fire Wolf. That brutal scene appeared even in his dreams.

"Deputy Captain, let’s do it!" All of the hunting squad members drew their wooden bows, each of their faces revealing a look of pure conviction.

"Good, that’s the way! Everybody, follow my orders!" Zhang Yangping gazed at the vigour and determination that radiated out from each of the men’s bodies. Traces of tears entered his eyes.

The wickedness of the Blue Fire Wolf had caused a lifetime of pain for all the villages within miles of the mountain.

...

On the outside, Fang Zhengzhi’s current state still seemed very brave and powerful. At least, Zhang Yangping and the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad had already pinned their hopes on him.

But in reality, inside his heart, Fang Zhengzhi was deeply agonized.

What, I am very strong? That was just words to reassure himself. Compared to the Blue Fire Wolf...

"Snap!"

The shattering sound of rocks sounded out. The gigantic body of the Blue Fire Wolf crawled up. Faced with such immense strength, the broken pieces of rocks on the ground immediately exploded into powder.

How powerful the Blue Fire Wolf was can be seen from this.

"Awoo!"

Howling, the Blue Fire Wolf wildly rushed towards Fang Zhengzhi. It actually wasn’t too far off the ground, its entire body keeping close to the ground. It was just like a ray of blue light.

Fang Zhengzhi had never before seen such an offensive tactic.

Don’t tell me the offensive strategy of wolves aren’t all about head-on pounces and going around in circles? Then, what’s the meaning of this strange gliding scene in front of me?

Indeed, I can’t try to understand this world based on my past thinking!

"I’ll dodge!"

Oh, terrain!

His eyes suddenly lit up. Fang Zhengzhi, evidently not bothering to be graceful, rolled on the ground towards his right, ending up behind a rock.

Having pounced at thin air, the Blue Fire Wolf didn’t stop at all. Its humongous body twisted around, and two balls of fire suddenly erupted from its two hind claws.

It was like stepping on two balls of fire.

Then, initially pouncing towards the front, its entire body forcefully changed direction and was instantly pouncing towards Fang Zhengzhi’s back.

Nearer, nearer...

At this moment, the two front claws of the Blue Fire Wolf also burst into two bright-red balls of flame. There was even a small flame dancing in its faint blue pupils.

...

A wave of scorching smell spread out, a smell so provoking that it even numbed the scalp of Fang Zhengzhi.

Experience, was what he lacked the most. Real hunters would never turn their heads at such moments.

But, Fang Zhengzhi wasn’t aware of this. He turned his head, and saw that the Blue Fire Wolf was already less than one meter from his back, those razor-sharp fangs dripping with a faint trace of blood...

"Am I going to die?!" Fang Zhengzhi wasn’t godlike, at this instant, he had no way of retaliating. He rolled on the floor, wanting to run...

He couldn’t even stand up.

The huge stone was right in front of his eyes, but this single step was so far away. Like a huge ravine, there was simply no way of stepping across.

"Why is this Blue Fire Wolf’s speed so fast?!" Fang Zhengzhi didn’t give up, but he had no alternatives. The disparity in strength was too large, he simply couldn’t dodge this strike.
