In the dense forest, the moonlight was sparse, reflecting the entire forest. Tonight, the moonlight was pale, as if it was mourning for something.

On top of a several zhang tall tree, Dugu Yifeng was quietly hiding. This time, his opponent was the white wolf.

The white wolf was one of the more famous Houtian strange beasts. Just like humans, fame was never obtained for no reason. The white wolves' fame stemmed from their ruthless hunting methods and their opponents.

Generally speaking, the white wolves lived in groups. Their strength was generally around the middle Houtian realm, and the White Wolf King's strength was probably between the high Houtian realm and the peak Houtian realm.

Tonight, Dugu Yifeng's target was the pack of white wolves in front of him.

This was his first battle in the wilderness!

There were not many trees in this pack of white wolves. One was the White Wolf King, and there were around ten ordinary white wolves. With just this bit of strength, he wouldn't be able to withstand Dugu Yifeng's strict punishment if he was in any other place.

However, this was a wilderness!

The wilderness was filled with strange beasts. For thousands of years, these strange beasts had been living in the wilderness, following the simplest rules of survival ? Survival of the fittest!

With thousands of years of survival of the fittest, the sense of smell, sight, and even hearing of these strange beasts were all extremely sensitive. Once Dugu Yifeng fought with this group of strange beasts, the sounds of a fight, the smell of blood, and the aftermath from a fight would quickly spread. All of this would definitely attract powerful beasts to come and take a look.

Before coming to the wilderness, Dugu Yifeng had asked for some detailed information regarding the wilderness. Countless strange beasts lived in the wilderness. Generally speaking, these strange beasts were around the Houtian realm, and their intelligence was quite low. But this wilderness was not that simple.

The Paragons were all beasts that had reached the Xiantian realm. Not only were they extremely powerful, even their intelligence was not inferior to humans.

Influenced by the humans, they had actually divided the wilderness into many intersecting areas. In these areas, they generally didn't care about the life or death of adult beasts. However, young beasts were protected by them.

The most important reason for their actions was ? humans!

For the past thousand years, in order to prevent beasts that were too powerful from appearing in this area, every few decades, humans would send their experts to sweep the wilderness, exterminating all of those powerful beasts.

Dugu Yifeng remembered that he had immediately thought of a word when he saw such a record in the Manor's books: cage!

Indeed, from Dugu Yifeng's point of view, wasn't the wilderness a living prison?!

Dugu Yifeng remembered that such a place was not uncommon in his previous life. Back when he became a mercenary, he would often bring newbies out to train. The training grounds for his rookies were similar to this wilderness. However, the monsters that Dugu Yifeng had seen in his previous life were not as powerful.

He understood one thing clearly: to the top human warriors, these beasts were like meat on the chopping block, they could do whatever they wanted to them. However, to him right now, these 'meat' was not something he could easily mess with.

The moon was clear and peaceful, with a pale hue. At this moment, Dugu Yifeng moved!

Whoosh!

A voice that could not be heard sounded out from within Dugu Yifeng's heart. He jumped down from the tree and rushed towards the three white wolves that were closest to the tree! In an instant, it was only a single exchange. Blood splattered, flesh churned, and three white wolves died!

At this moment, Dugu Yifeng had already been discovered by the white wolves. However, it was as if he didn't notice it at all.

"Crack!" "Crack!"

Another four white wolves fell to the ground. The sword force went through their bones, creating a sound of friction before piercing straight through the heads of the two white wolves behind them.

In just a few breaths, six white wolves were killed!

"Roar!"

Finally, the wolf's howl was heard. The White Wolf King's eyes were bloodshot and filled with rage. When the news spread out, all he had to do now was to stall Dugu Yifeng.

But, would Dugu Yifeng allow it to do so?

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sounds of the consecutive swords scraping against the wind indicated the departure of the white wolves. In the time it took to take another dozen breaths, all the wolves had been cleared except for the White Wolf King!

Blood dripped down from Dugu Yifeng's hair. His face was also a rosy red. The actions just now had caused his blood to boil.

The White Wolf King did not have much intelligence, but the trembling of its soul caused it to instinctively retreat. His steps were trembling, but he still slowly stepped back. The fear in his eyes was still staring at Dugu Yifeng. It did not dare to turn its head. It was afraid that if it turned around, its brain would not have the chance to return ?

Fear, fear, death, etc. spread throughout the Wolf King's mind. However, in the blink of an eye, Dugu Yifeng had released it.

One sword was peerless!

This was the most beautiful sword technique that this wolf had ever seen in this world. At the same time, it was also the last sword technique that he had ever seen.

After taking care of these wolf kings, the seriousness in Dugu Yifeng's eyes did not fade. With a flip of the sword flower in his hand, the wolf king's stomach was immediately sliced open.

Dugu Yifeng caught the moonlight and scanned it with his consciousness. After a moment, he felt a little disappointed. There were no treasure beasts!

Generally speaking, strange beasts that reached the Xiantian realm would all have beast treasures inside their bodies. According to the level of the strange beasts, the treasures were also divided into several grades. Generally, Houtian level strange beasts also had the possibility of possessing this beast treasure, and some of them were even more precious than the beast treasures found in Xiantian realm strange beasts' bodies.

For instance, the peak Houtian realm treasure that Dugu Yifeng had obtained in the Thousand Cave Mountain, if the Thousand Feet Green Scorpion King and Golden Thread Snake could produce a treasure, it would be absolutely priceless.

After finding no treasure in the White Wolf King's body, Dugu Yifeng no longer investigated the situation of the other ordinary white wolves. He immediately leaped out and disappeared from the white wolves' corpses in an instant.

The strange thing was that in just a few breaths of time, Dugu Yifeng had actually come back. This time, he was still hiding in a nearby tree. He slowly withdrew his consciousness and the Nine Heavens Free Spell also began to circulate within his body.

The aura around him slowly disappeared. The forest had lost all traces of him.

After Dugu Yifeng hid for several dozen breaths of time, the ground finally began to tremble. Dugu Yifeng was squatting on a tree, completely relying on his eyes. He saw countless beasts rushing towards him.

Two-headed Wolf, Green Tiger Savage Bear, Nine Steps Snake, Amethyst Heavenly Lion ? These strange beasts had all reached the Houtian realm. They all rushed towards the wolf pack. The smell of blood on the ground was constantly stimulating the senses of these strange beasts.

In their eyes, these white wolves that had just died were treasures!

These wolves had just died, and the essence of their bodies was completely gone before it could even dissipate. If these strange beasts were to eat it, their power would certainly be greatly boosted.

The hordes of beasts all ran towards the wolf pack with bloodshot eyes. The greed in their eyes was not concealed at all.

However, at this time ?

"Chirp!" A clear whistle sounded from behind the crowd of strange beasts. The sound was crisp and clear, but it carried a trace of unquestionable dignity. Dugu Yifeng also heard this light cry from the tree. He saw a flying beast that seemed to have jumped down from the moon as it charged towards the wolf pack at a rapid speed.

Only when they got closer did Dugu Yifeng manage to clearly see the true appearance of the flying beast ? the Blue Luan!
