Traversing the path of life and death

Chapter Twenty-Three: Azure Wolf

When Lin Yu entered the Wild Beast Forest, the sky had already brightened. Small beasts occasionally appeared in Lin Yu's field of vision at the edge of the forest, but Lin Yu ignored them. After all, these small beasts were not very aggressive, and even if they were caught, they could only be used for ornamental purposes and had no other use.

The Wild Beast Forest is the most dangerous place, with dangers hidden everywhere. Lin Yu was always very careful when he traveled there. He walked for a whole day but was still on the edge of the forest. After all, the Wild Beast Forest was really too big.

Night was falling, and the Wild Beast Forest was where wild beasts roamed at night. Anyone who entered the forest would stop at night and take defensive measures to protect themselves.

Of course, Lin Yu was no exception. For Lin Yu, making protective measures was a piece of cake, after all, he had the experience of exploration in his previous life. However, Lin Yu did not dare to be careless in the Wild Beast Forest, because in the Wild Beast Forest, the more careful a person is, the higher their chances of survival.

Lin Yu took out an ordinary knife from his ring. This knife was for chopping up odds and ends. In addition to this knife, Lin Yu had also prepared many other things, such as medicine and daggers, for emergencies.

Then, Lin Yu used a knife to cut off the thick branches of several large trees nearby. The cut branches fell heavily to the ground, creating large craters.

Lin Yu used the branches he had cut from the ground to make a simple fence around a giant tree. All the branches and leaves on the tree had been cut off by Lin Yu and thrown into the fence. On the last remaining branch, Lin Yu lay down.

The night in the Wild Beast Forest is quiet, but the faint roars of beasts stir the nerves of the people, who long for the dawn.

Lin Yu lay motionless on the tree, absorbing the elements of heaven and earth, which filled his body and continuously released elements. Beside him, the white spirit seed tirelessly absorbed the elements released by the five-colored mark. The two intertwined infinitely, a situation that had occurred since the spirit seed was successfully condensed.

Lin Yu was immersed in his cultivation, but he was fully aware of the commotion around him. The occasional roars of beasts reached his ears, but they did not affect him at all.

Time passed minute by minute, but the roar of the beast suddenly disappeared without a sound. Instead, there was only silence, an extraordinary stillness. Lin Yu woke up from his cultivation and looked around. He immediately became very nervous because he had a feeling of unease in his heart, as if something bad was going to happen. And the fact was exactly as Lin Yu had thought.

Just as Lin Yu was looking towards a corner in the east, he noticed a faint glow at the fence, with wisps of flame emanating from its back. Only then did Lin Yu realize that it was a Blue Fierce Wolf, and not just one.

Wild beasts in the Sky Continent are strictly divided into five ranks, and above that are the Primordial Wild Beasts. Primordial Wild Beasts are also divided into many levels according to their strength. The strength of Primordial Wild Beasts is higher than that of humans in the Gathering Soul and Spiritual Movement stages. The most important feature of Primordial Wild Beasts is that they can transform into human form.

Most of the Azure Wolves in the Wild Beast Forest are low-level Tier 1 wild beasts. Any human who enters would rather encounter a high-level Tier 1 wild beast than an Azure Wolves, because Azure Wolves live in groups.

Because the danger of the Azure Fierce Wolves is unimaginable, anyone who encounters a pack of Azure Fierce Wolves must either rely on external objects to drive the pack away, rely on their superior strength to scare the pack away, or rely on their own agility to escape from the wolves' jaws. They can choose one of these three options; otherwise, they will only be sent to the wolves' jaws.

Lin Yu certainly couldn't choose the latter two options now. Although his strength had reached the fifth level of Body Solidification, he hadn't yet learned any combat skills. Besides, there were so many Azure Wolves on the ground; he couldn't fight them all.

So Lin Yu could only choose the first option, which required him to rely on external means to drive away the wolves. As the wolves drew closer, Lin Yu began to feel nervous. Although Lin Yu had the soul of someone in their twenties and was far superior to ordinary people in every aspect, he was still nervous in this situation.

Lin Yu gripped his fists tightly, his fingers making a crisp sound, and stared coldly at the pack of wolves outside the fence, his gaze meeting their menacing stares.

Then, with his left hand, he gently took out a small bottle from the ring, slightly opened the bottle mouth so that the liquid inside could flow out. The Azure Fierce Wolves outside the fence seemed to be particularly hungry, leaving scratches on the branches, and the flames on their backs burned even more fiercely, threatening to break through the defense at any moment, and a series of wolf howls resounded from there.

The howls of wolves slowly spread. People who were resting and preparing for battle nearby heard the howls and silently prayed that some unlucky soul had encountered a pack of wolves. Tonight was destined to be anything but peaceful.

Lin Yu was closely observing the surroundings. As soon as the Azure Wolf broke through the fence, Lin Yu would pour the liquid from the small bottle onto the Azure Wolf.

The fence finally gave way. Under the charge and bite of the Azure Fierce Wolf, the fence broke open. Lin Yu opened the bottle and let the liquid inside flow down the small bottle to the Azure Fierce Wolf below. When the liquid came into contact with the Azure Fierce Wolf below, with a sound, the flames on the Azure Fierce Wolf's body were instantly extinguished.

Lin Yu's actions just now did not seem to have much effect. The Azure Wolves continued to charge forward, and the flames on the backs of each Azure Wolves were extinguished when they came into contact with the liquid.

Finally, the wolves outside the fence seemed to feel scared. Seeing the Azure Fierce Wolf running towards the giant tree in the middle, the flames on its back suddenly went out, and it stopped moving forward. The successive extinguishing of the flames was undoubtedly shocking to the Azure Fierce Wolf. The Azure Fierce Wolf, which originally wanted to continue to rush forward, was frightened by this sudden change and shrank back, running away into the distance.

Lin Yu then noticed a giant white wolf in the distance and thought, "That giant white wolf must be the king of the Azure Fierce Wolves." At that moment, the giant white wolf was also looking at Lin Yu, and the two stared at each other.

Like other Azure Wolves, the snow-white giant wolf had flames on its back, but the flames on the snow-white giant wolf's back were particularly dazzling. Lin Yu, who was in the distance, seemed to be able to feel the heat of the flames, and the liquid in the small bottle had just been used up.

It could be said that a great battle was about to break out. Lin Yu clenched his fists tightly, and the gaps between the gauntlets made a 'creaking' friction sound. The gauntlets seemed to sense Lin Yu's fighting spirit and dimmed into a faint red, and a burning sensation was transmitted to Lin Yu's hands.

Just as Lin Yu was about to rush down and fight the wolf pack, three loud roars reached his ears.

The pack of Azure Fierce Wolves, which had been pressing Lin Yu closely, suddenly shuddered upon hearing the roar. The giant white wolf let out a loud howl and then quickly ran off in a certain direction of the forest. The other Azure Fierce Wolves, seeing this, also let out a loud howl and followed the giant white wolf away.

Lin Yu, perched in the tree, was at a loss.
