Chapter 41: Second Sect Competition
With a long gash across his forearm, Li Lang knew he had to end the battle quickly. Letting a fight stall when one was outnumbered and injured was a fool’s errand.
Luckily, the wolves were confused, as their leader had been slain. They cautiously surrounded Li Lang but were too indecisive to take action.
Li Lang took advantage of that and charged toward his next target. Having just fought with the large leader of the pack, the other wolves appeared weak in comparison. If they were compared to humans, the alpha would be at the peak of early Energy Gathering like Li Lang while the other wolves would be around the first stage to the second stage of Energy Gathering.
The hesitation of the pack snowballed once they saw yet another of their companions mercilessly assaulted. It only took one wolf to begin retreating before it caused a chain reaction, and the rest followed.
Li Lang watched them cautiously as they did so while consuming another Recovery Pill for his wounds. With the alpha dead, the pack should dissolve, and in the rare case of them reforming, the new leader would likely be much weaker and less cunning for a long while. Either way, he had done enough to complete the mission he had taken on.
Once the wolves all disappeared from view, the lone boy proceeded to cut off the ears of his kills before moving on to the hide and fangs.
The ears of the alpha should be enough to complete the mission, but the other parts could be used as materials.
With his task complete, the boy took out a red gemstone and placed it against his head.
“Ruby, can you transport the body of a wolf into your artifact space?”
“Yes, master. As long as it isn’t alive. I’m not too sure if they’ll be useful for alchemy, though.”
“It’s fine. Better to have it so I can play around with their fangs and pelt if the need arises in the future.”
With everything settled, Li Lang took one last glance around the field he fought in and found that morning had already arrived at some point.
