The little Golden Wind Wolf suffered because it was still too small and hadn't fully developed yet.
It was quickly suppressed by the Blue Wind Wolf, which pinned it to the ground with a casual swipe of its claw.
The Blue Wind Wolf let out a proud howl, seemingly announcing its victory, and was about to bite the little Golden Wind Wolf to death.
But at that moment, a massive black shadow flashed past, violently pouncing on the Blue Wind Wolf and pinning it to the ground.
Han Ye raised his tiger claw and angrily swiped at the Blue Wind Wolf's head, crushing its skull instantly.
The little Golden Wind Wolf was his only subordinate; he would never let this fellow go for trying to kill it.
Seeing Han Ye's arrival, the little Golden Wind Wolf gave two whines, stood up, and walked behind him.
In the distance, the Wolf King looked at Han Ye, appearing to hesitate.
With his back to the mountain and facing the Wolf Pack, Han Ye stood tall and unafraid.
As the King of All Beasts, how could he be scared away by a pack of wolves?
Although the pack was numerous and their leader, the Wolf King, was quite extraordinary.
[Race: Astral Wind Wolf]
[Rank: E-Rank ☆☆☆☆☆]
[Talents: Body-Protecting Astral Wind, strong defense; Wind Chaser, extremely fast speed]
[comprehensive combat power: 501]
This Wolf King's combat power was quite a bit stronger than Han Ye's; its strength was very formidable.
However, it seemed to be wary of something and didn't dare cross the boundary between the two mountains.
After giving Han Ye one last deep look, it led the Wolf Pack away, disappearing from sight.
Han Ye wasn't stupid; he didn't think the Wolf King feared his strength.
Most likely, there was some being hidden on this mountain that even the Wolf King was wary of.
He immediately took the little Golden Wind Wolf back to the cave and became more cautious while Hunting in the following days... One day, on the neighboring mountain peak.
Leng Qingqiu, the Reincarnation of the Empress, was currently Cultivating by the cliffside.
Faint Moonlight scattered across her pure white fur, making her look like a white tiger from myths and legends.
After a long time, she opened her tiger eyes, a hint of pride showing within them.
"I've barely managed to Cultivate halfway through the first layer."
"Now, by bolstering my body with spiritual energy, my combat power should reach the level of E-Rank ☆☆☆☆☆."
"But Cultivating like this is still a bit slow; it's easy to lose the initiative."
The initiative Leng Qingqiu spoke of naturally referred to the Opportunities emerging everywhere during the Spiritual Qi recovery phase.
"Eh? This feeling is... a moon stamen flower?"
"I didn't expect the moon stamen flower to evolve this early."
Suddenly, she snapped her head toward the mountain peak where Han Ye was located.
"That being is still sleeping; even the scent of the moon stamen flower couldn't wake it."
"Tsk tsk, once it awakens, it will definitely be a D-Rank being."
She was weighing the pros and cons; if she went to seize the flower and that being happened to wake up, it would be bad.
"If it comes to that, I'll use my trump card."
"Fortune favors the bold. This moon stamen flower can significantly strengthen the Physical Body; I cannot let it slip through my fingers."
She thought to herself and immediately descended the mountain, heading toward the neighboring peak.
Halfway there, she suddenly remembered the Tiger Roar she had heard several months ago.
"It's been a long time since I heard that Tiger Roar. Could that guy have already left?"
"I'll take the chance to subdue him this time to avoid future complications," she calculated in her mind, "if he's still on that mountain."
...On the other side, atop the mountain.
A massive black tiger was lying next to a flower.
Behind this black tiger followed a tail-wagging Golden Wind Wolf.
Three months had passed since that day of the confrontation with the Wolf Pack!
[Race: Sabertooth Nether Tiger]
[Rank: E-Rank ☆☆☆☆☆]
[evolution points: 467]
[evolution points required for next evolution: 5000]
Talents: [Hunting], [Unyielding], [Blood Locking], [Tiger Roar], [Nether Wave]
[comprehensive combat power: 702]
Han Ye had laid low for another three months, quietly developing in the mountains.
He had just made a Breakthrough not long ago, achieving another life-leap.
He unlocked a new Talent, [Nether Wave], which was an offensive skill.
It could fire a black wave of energy from his mouth to damage opponents.
This energy pillar was somewhat corrosive and had extreme destructive power.
Moreover, it had a long attack range and was very useful.
At that moment, a river deer darted out from behind.
This Mutated Roe Deer's strength wasn't low; it was E-Rank ☆☆, with a combat power of 132!
It was also a being attracted by the blooming moon stamen flower, wanting to fight for the Opportunity.
Han Ye silently watched the charging Mutated Roe Deer, completely unmoved.
At this time, the Golden Wind Wolf behind him stood up.
The Golden Wind Wolf's figure blurred several times, and in an instant, it pounced beside the Mutated Roe Deer.
[Wind Chaser] seemed to be one of the wolf race's talents; he had also seen this Talent on that Wolf King from the neighboring mountain before.
Although it was a common Talent for the wolf race, its effect was excellent, and its speed was indeed remarkable.
The Mutated Roe Deer was caught off guard; once the Golden Wind Wolf closed in, it hurriedly tried to turn its head to bite.
The result, however, was the Golden Wind Wolf using its claw to slash the neck, severing its entire head.
"Ding! Host's vassal Golden Wind Wolf has hunted an E-Rank ☆☆ being, evolution points +14!"
This was one of the hidden functions Han Ye discovered after exploring the System: the ability to bind vassals.
After the vassals hunted beings, the results could be attributed to him.
However, this function had a limit: one slot would be unlocked for every evolution.
From his Rebirth until now, he had evolved twice in total, so he could only bind two vassals.
After the Golden Wind Wolf hunted the Mutated Roe Deer, it immediately tore a piece of meat from it.
This piece was the choice cut of the Mutated Roe Deer; the Golden Wind Wolf carried it in its mouth to Han Ye for him to enjoy.
The little Golden Wind Wolf could be said to have been raised by Han Ye personally; on the vassal attribute panel, its loyalty to him had reached 100%!
But Han Ye was in no mood for raw meat right now; he raised his paw and waved it slightly, signaling the Golden Wind Wolf to eat it itself.
The Golden Wind Wolf treated Han Ye's orders as gospel and immediately took the meat to the side to enjoy.
After finishing, it stood up to patrol nearby, helping Han Ye keep watch.
"Although this little guy is only E-Rank ☆☆ now, a Mutated Roe Deer of the same Realm is vulnerable before it."
"Its true combat power is comparable to a ☆☆☆ Rank being. In another half-year, it might be able to compete with the Wolf King on the neighboring mountain."
Han Ye snapped out of it, this thought suddenly occurring to him.
The rules of the wolf race were simple: strength was paramount. As long as the Golden Wind Wolf defeated the Wolf King,
It would be the new king of the pack. At that time, he would have a massive Wolf Pack under his command, which would be no small help.
"So fragrant! This flower should be ready to eat, right?"
He took a deep sniff and looked at the pale white exotic flower before him.
The exotic flower's appearance was somewhat like a night-blooming cereus, and its fragrance was very intense.
If it weren't for the fact that this flower grew right in front of the cave where he lived, and the mountain's creatures knew this was his territory and didn't dare come,
Then it wouldn't just be this stupid river deer coming to its death; many more beings would have been attracted.
Looking at the moon stamen flower, Han Ye was getting a bit impatient.
He was just about to swallow it in one gulp.
But at that moment, a powerful aura suddenly approached.
He snapped his head around and saw a white-furred Tigress pouncing toward him.
"So... so beautiful!"
