Chapter 9: Formidable Prediction
Most Spiritual Beasts, regardless of their grade, had a Death Acupoint. Most warriors were aware of this fact.
But even though everyone knew about Death Acupoints, it was incredibly difficult to actually strike one in battle. The Spiritual Beasts also knew about their own Death Acupoints, so in a fight, they would do everything they could to protect their vulnerabilities.
This fight between Jing Yan and the Fanged Wolf apparently ended up with Jing Yan hitting its Death Acupoint with one strike. It was the only way to explain why the Fanged Wolf had died so quickly, but even so, Jing Yan remained puzzled.
Even when Jing Yan had been a Precelestial, it would have been pretty hard to kill a Fanged Wolf like that by hitting its Death Acupoint. Of course, at that point, Jing Yan could kill First-grade Spiritual Beasts with ease. But killing one by hitting its Death Acupoint would have been more than challenging.
"It seems like it really was my good luck that did it!"
Jing Yan's eyes glittered. He bent over and got to work.
The most valuable thing in a Fanged Wolf's body was no doubt the pair of long and sharp fangs.
Based on the current market price in Dong Lin City, the pair of fangs should be worth about five Spiritual Stones. The rest of the body wasn't even worth one Spiritual Stone.
Jing Yan dug out the fangs, put them in his beast skin sack, and quickly left.
As for the body of the Fanged Wolf, there was no reason to take it with him. He planned to stay in the Blackrock Mountains for a month and hunt a lot more than one or two Spiritual Beasts. He would be overcome with exhaustion if he tried to carry all their bodies out, so he had to give up the idea of taking everything with him. Instead, he only planned to take the most valuable parts of his prey.
Jing Yan was back on his way as he walked cautiously in the outer area of the mountains.
A short period of time later, Jing Yan once again noticed the scent of Fanged Wolves, except that this time, there were two of the creatures. The pair were moving together.
