"Awoooo —"
In the maze realm forest, a loud and clear wolf howl suddenly broke the silence of the morning. Within the short shrubs, dozens of st.u.r.dy Black Wolf s were sprinting forward, as fast as lightning.
A few dozen meters in front of the pack of wolves, a figure was running frantically. It was Tang Huan.
"Dammit! We"ve been in the forest for more than ten days, and we haven"t found a single low-ranked gem yet, but now we"re going to be chased by these beasts even if we sleep!"
Tang Huan was depressed in his heart, but he did not dare stop in his tracks.
In his previous life, he had also seen wolves at the zoo, but those wolves were only the size of a dog. However, every wolf in the maze realm forest was actually close to one meter tall, especially that wolf that looked like a wolf.
Just yesterday, Tang Huan saw a fellow who should be a Martial Disciples of the second rank being torn to shreds by a few Great Black Wolf s behind him.
Right now, there were dozens of Black Wolf chasing them. If they were surrounded, the result would be very miserable.
During the dozen or so days they had been in the maze realm, Tang Huan had been extremely vigilant at night, constantly paying attention to the movements in his surroundings. After continuously doing this for so many days, he was already exhausted to the point of being unable to hold on.
However, he didn"t expect that the wolf pack would find him at dawn.
By the time Tang Huan woke up, the wolf pack was already a hundred meters away. Tang Huan didn"t even have time to pack up his tents, dry rations and the like before grabbing the Fire Cloud Sword and running away.
Last night, Tang Huan intentionally chose an empty place to sleep, so that he would be able to discover danger.
In such an area, the wolves were almost unstoppable.
Even if Tang Huan used his Innate Qi and sprinted with all his might, he could not even compare to the Black Wolf with four legs. In no time, the distance between the two sides had been shortened by half.
Fortunately, there was a forest not far ahead.
One hundred meters … Fifty meters … Thirty meters … Ten meters …
"Whoos.h.!.+"
Tang Huan fled into the lush forest like an arrow that had left the bow.
His eyes quickly swept across the area, and after a moment, Tang Huan selected a large tree that was around 20-30 metres tall, and shot upwards like an ape. He reached a tree branch that was about 10 metres above the ground in a few steps, and felt that it was still not safe, thus Tang Huan climbed another few metres.
Immediately after, dozens of Black Wolf rushed into the forest and surrounded the big tree.
"Awoo!" The st.u.r.dy head wolf howled and a few Black Wolf s took a few steps forward and started chewing on the tree trunk crazily.
"An animal is an animal, you think this …"
Seeing that, Tang Huan could not help but laugh out loud, but before he finished speaking, his laughter suddenly stopped, and his eyes revealed shock that was difficult to hide. The speed at which the Black Wolf were chewing on the tree trunk was astonis.h.i.+ng. The tree pieces flew around their mouth, and in a short while, a circle of the tree trunk was bitten off.
If this trend continued, this tree, which took almost two people to hold together, would probably be bitten off in less than a minute.
"Awoo!"
Pang Shuo"s head wolf let out another heaven-shaking roar as it raised its head to look up. Its pair of dark green eyes seemed to be filled with ridicule.
Listening to the cracking sounds coming from below, Tang Huan felt his scalp go numb.
"You are all vicious. I do not believe that you can eat all the trees in this forest!"
Tang Huan grinded his teeth and cursed, in a moment, he swept his gaze across the area, and then quickly ran along the thick branches, after a while, he jumped up high and landed on another big tree more than 10 metres away, but at the same time, the wolves closed in from below once again.
"Crack, crack …"
The Black Wolf who was chewing on the tree trunk changed a few of them, but that kind of voice that made people sour once again sounded out, after staying for just a little while, Tang Huan had no choice but to change his position.
After about half an hour of continuous circulation, the tree he was standing on had already been replaced by a few dozen.
The wolves below were completely on his tail, and they followed him wherever he went, then began to nibble at the tree trunks. Under this kind of situation, Tang Huan didn"t dare to get down from the ground.
Tang Huan was caught between a rock and a hard place, if he had known this earlier, he would not have climbed up the tree. If he had continued to run in the forest, with the help of the trees, he might have been able to change the situation.
However, at this point, it was too late for regret.
"We can"t continue like this."
Tang Huan thought quickly, "This pack of wolves is too troublesome. If they stay under the tree for more than ten days and don"t leave, even if I am not eaten by them, I would starve to death in the end. Moreover, after dying of starvation, I would still become the food of those beasts below."
After thinking about it, Tang Huan moved his big tree that he settled down on again.
"Awoo!"
The wolf pack followed him again, but halfway through, the head wolf suddenly howled.
The wolf pack immediately turned around and charged towards another lush tree. In a split-second, the tree was surrounded.
"Hmm?"
Tang Huan was surprised, but he did not act rashly. In his mind, it was very likely that the wolves were tired of chasing after them, and the reason they had made such a move was to lure him down from the tree, and now, there were probably Black Wolf lying in ambush around.
In the next moment, Tang Huan immediately counted, only to realize that the number of Black Wolf around the big tree did not decrease at all.
All of the Black Wolf s that were chasing him were there!
"Awoo!"
Just as Tang Huan was confused, the head wolf suddenly growled. It took two steps forward and used its claws to smack the slightly concave piece of tree bark onto the ground.
In a flash, a hole the size of a washbasin appeared.
"Yiya!"
Inside the hole, a blue beast the size of a soccer ball was curled up into a ball, trembling in fear. Even from where Tang Huan was standing, one could see the tears glistened in its black eyes, it looked pitiful.
"Awoo!" In the next moment, almost all of the Black Wolf s opened their mouths and roared, and their voices revealed unconcealable excitement.
"Yiya!" "Yiya …"
The small blue beast desperately squeezed its way inside, its mouth producing a childish cry. The tears in its large eyes could no longer be concealed as they fell down in long streams.
Tang Huan was not a compa.s.sionate person, but when he saw its pitiful appearance, he couldn"t help but feel pity for it in the bottom of his heart.
"This little thing can"t be a spirit beast, right? Otherwise, why would he have such a human-like expression? "
Tang Huan could not help but mutter. In this world, spirit beasts were a rare beast that could absorb spirit energy like humans, and they were extremely strong in terms of spirit energy. They might not be strong enough, but they would usually possess some extremely miraculous and unbelievable ability.
The pitiful state of the little blue beast made the wolf pack even more excited. They couldn"t help but approach the hole with eyes full of greed.
"Awoo!"
When the head wolf saw this, it bared its fangs and let out an angry roar. The surrounding wolves immediately became clear-headed, and no one dared to challenge its authority. It hurriedly retreated with its tail between its legs.
"Yiya, yiya …"
Just then, the blue beast seemed to have sensed Tang Huan"s existence, and looked at him through the hole, its round and bright eyes full of pleading.
