Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 27: The End (Bonus chapter for the Alliance Leader, Old Five from Wuliang Mountain Dormitory)

But in that split second, under the dim light of the fire, Li Wei's eyes met those of the black wolf. For some reason, Li Wei had a strange feeling that his attack might miss.

Even though the black wolf was shot with an arrow, it still had the strength to dodge; it was too strong.

Furthermore, its sharp claws seemed to have severely injured Penny, and with Penny already pinned to the ground, she was powerless to launch an attack.

Now, it's like a dueling master looking down at Li Wei from above, seemingly having foreseen all his changes.

That look seemed to say, "Slow, too slow!"

Its agility is definitely superior to Li Wei's.

His attempt to repeat his previous trick and stab the gray wolf as he had a few days ago was now futile!

This feeling flashed through Li Wei's mind like lightning. Suddenly, without warning, like a javelin thrower, when he was less than three meters away from the black wolf, he threw the wooden spear upwards and flicked his wrist, instantly changing his grip.

That's right, you can predict my predictions, you can be more agile than me, but in the face of the laws of physics, everything is meaningless!
Especially at such a close distance, especially when Li Wei had already taken a running start, even though the change in grip caused a slight delay, he still had a huge advantage!

Of course, there is also the most important possibility: the black wolf may never have seen a javelin thrown before, and it does not understand the different meanings brought about by such a subtle change in movement.

This is also one of the important reasons why Li Wei was willing to take the risk.

However, in reality, when Li Wei changed his grip on the wooden spear and adjusted its angle to quickly complete the charging, the black wolf suddenly pounced straight at full speed towards Li Wei. It was indeed able to seize every possible opportunity and could not be fooled at all.

At this point, it was too late for Li Wei to change his throw to a thrust.

In that split second, the black wolf that had been pouncing down suddenly staggered almost imperceptibly. One of its hind legs was pulled by Penny, though it immediately broke free.

But for Li Wei, it was truly a golden opportunity.

In particular, he remained calm throughout. His heartbeat, breathing, and even the muscles and bones of his entire body entered a natural state. In that instant, the wooden spear flew out of his hand and precisely pierced the black wolf's throat at close range.

It fell to the ground and died without making a sound.

The class bonus from the two-star Hunter card seems to also apply to the Wooden Spear Throw.

In addition, the improved physical coordination brought about by the 8-point agility also plays a crucial role.

Of course, the biggest contributor to this victory was none other than Penny.

Even Li Wei had to look at her with new respect.

Regardless, he had to accept the favor.

The mournful howl of wolves rang out again, but quickly faded away. The remaining two gray wolves fled. They had been arranged to howl in the southeast as a feint attack, while the black wolf would attack from another direction.

Once the camp entrance is breached, a massacre can truly begin.

However, with the death of their leader, Black Wolf, the two gray wolves immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

[You killed a strong, cunning alpha wolf, gaining 60 hunting experience points. The remaining gray wolves were terrified and dared not approach your family camp again. The wolf problem is solved. You gained an additional 100 hunting experience points and 10 family contribution points, bringing your total to 33.]

[Due to your outstanding performance, you have automatically replaced Fira as the temporary head of the household for one month. During this period, you can issue main family quests. If the main quests are completed perfectly, you will receive a good completion rating.]

[Friendly reminder: If no family member's contribution to the family exceeds yours after one month, you will continue to serve as the head of the household.]

[Friendly reminder: Please issue the family main quest as soon as possible, otherwise it may trigger chaotic plot-driven deaths among family members. If a family member dies unexpectedly or is eliminated for any reason while you are the head of the family, including being eliminated due to plot-driven deaths, your prestige will be severely damaged. Of course, if you are confident that you can control the situation, then there is no need to issue the family main quest.]

[Friendly reminder: The missing personnel in the family will be randomly assigned after this month's monthly summary, and their identities will be determined based on the best performer over the past period.] As the lines of information flashed by, Li Wei couldn't help but feel a little excited.

However, he didn't hesitate at all. He first helped Penny up. She was covered in blood, and there were several deep wounds on her back. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that her skin was torn open.

"Mom, do we have any herbs left?"

Li Wei shouted at Fila, who was still in a daze. Everything that had just happened was too fast. By the time she came to her senses, not only was the battle over, but the wolf problem mission was also solved.

"Oh, yes, yes, my poor child."

After a moment of stunned silence, Fila finally reacted, dropped the wooden spear, and ran to the warehouse to search. Only then did Li Wei discover that Penny was nearly unconscious and on the verge of death.

He had no choice but to pick it up and carry it into the house.

On the other side, Fila finally became reliable, having Li Wei hold a torch to treat Penny's wounds. After a lot of work, Penny finally woke up.

Great, it seems I'm not going to die.

Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief; now that he was the head of the family, his perspective had completely changed.

"Boom!"

A clap of thunder rang out, followed by a torrential downpour, as if ushering in a new chapter...

It rained all night.

As dawn broke, Li Wei awoke from his deep sleep and went to check on Penny. Thankfully, she didn't have a fever or anything like that, which meant her wounds weren't infected. This was extremely important; the first-level awakening of the life attribute was practically a divine skill.

From this perspective, it is actually necessary to allow family members to make appropriate progress and upgrade their status. Otherwise, if Penny were to pass away today, he, as the head of the family, would have to follow in Fira's footsteps and become a half-day patriarch.

"how are you feeling?"

Li Wei asked the question.

"This is a bit bad. I might need more than ten days to recover. During this time, the family will be relying on you. Take good care of Mom." Penny said weakly, but her eyes were quite calm, clearly indicating that she had also benefited greatly this time.

“Okay! During this time, I will go out to look for iron ore, cut down trees, and hunt prey to prepare some supplies for winter. Without the threat of wolves, Mom can also gather wild vegetables and mushrooms around the area while cooking. When you get better, we will build a blacksmith shop together.”

After Li Wei finished speaking, a line of information immediately appeared in front of him.

Should this be made the main family task for the next month?

He naturally chose to confirm.

The next second, his three family contribution points were consumed, and new information appeared.

[A new family main quest has been issued. Over the next month, you need to collect at least one unit of iron ore, three units of wood, and two units of game. Upon completion, you will receive eight family contribution points. Any excess points can be donated to your family for additional family contribution points or kept as your private property.]

Fila needs to gather at least five units of wild vegetables and mushrooms, and be responsible for the daily herding of the old cow, as well as providing three meals a day for the family.

Penny needs to rest and recover. Once she's healed, she'll need your help to build a blacksmith shop.

[Warning: The family main quest cannot be delayed for too long. If it is delayed beyond forty days, the family main quest will be declared a failure, and the head of the family will receive a lower completion score.]
