He ran to the main road outside the forest in one breath, finally no longer seeing the traces of the wolf pack.
"Feng, I’m about to level up to 20."
"Me too, let’s grind another round this afternoon and strive to advance today!"
From another forest path in the distance, several knights suddenly rushed out, and a team of knights came in disarray.
"Giddy up, giddy up!"
Seeing Xiao Jie and the others, they quickly shouted, "Feng, quick, there’s a BOSS behind us!"
Without hesitation, Xiao Jie called out, and everyone continued running, looking back as they ran.
From the dense forest, a team of Elite Wolf Cavalry burst forth, with a flaming red giant wolf leading the pack. On the wolf’s back rode a red-haired Wolf Demon, clad in splendid golden armor, wearing a Red Pearl Crown on its head, with a sword and a blade in hand, radiating searing flames.
Chi Mei Jian (Wolf King) Level 22 Boss-level Boss. Life Value: 3000.
Feeling a jolt in his heart, Xiao Jie sensed the disdainful aura and the cold eyes, indeed worthy of the Wolf King.
Though only level 22, it had an even more imposing air than those martial experts in the city at level 26 or even Level 30. It was simply beyond comparison.
A Boss-level Boss, definitely with great combat power, this guy was much stronger than the Ancient Tomb Corpse King.
Luckily, Chi Mei Jian, after seeing that everyone had run far away, showed no intention of pursuing them.
Xiao Jie looked towards Little White Dragon beside him, "How did you guys end up leading the entire pack of wolves out?"
The leader of the knights from before was none other than Little White Dragon.
"Our target was the Wolf King, if we didn’t lead it out for a walk, how could we figure out our tactics? I was scared to death, thank goodness we ran fast! Eh, we really went all out for these contribution points, we must get a great merit for this when we report back to the captain."
The two groups returned to Luoyang Town all the way. They were the last to come back. The other scouting parties had long since retreated, having only roamed around the outer circle.
"How did the scouting go?" Hidden Dragon Do Not Use asked Xiao Jie and Little White Dragon.
Xiao Jie said, "We scouted a portion of the terrain, I’ll send you the photos."
Little White Dragon excitedly said, "Captain, we drew out the Wolf King!"
"How did you lure it out?"
"We caught a few young wolves, didn’t kill them straight away, but slowly chopped them to death. That Wolf King was lured out, and then a system notification appeared — [System Notification: Your actions have infuriated the wolf pack, and you have caught the attention of the Wolf King.] Luckily we ran fast. Phew, it was terrifying."
"Well done, awarding your group of five a collective Medium Merit."
Little White Dragon’s group immediately had smiles spreading across their faces; now they wouldn’t be scared of not having points to get equipment when they go back to kill the Wolf King.
As for Xiao Jie and the other groups, they only achieved minor merits.
Soon, several map photos were compiled, and together with the maps scouted by the other groups earlier, the majority of the map around the Hundred Wolves Cave was almost completely clarified.
To kill the Wolf King Chi Mei Jian, there were two routes: one was to charge directly into the Hundred Wolves Cave. However, the inner layout of Hundred Wolves Cave was intricate and complicated, and monsters could spawn at any moment, not to mention rumors that there was an even more powerful hidden BOSS deep within the cave, making it more dangerous than the mines.
So this was a last resort.
The other method was to lure Chi Mei Jian out, and with this approach, there would be no issues of terrain. Now that Little White Dragon had found a way to draw out the Wolf King, it indeed counted as a great achievement.
Hidden Dragon Do Not Use continued, "I will send the intel to the staff department first and let them make a plan, while also simulating the success rate of the operation. Let’s all wait patiently for the news."
This staff department was a direct department under the main association. It was said to consist not only of game experts and military specialists but even AI analysis was involved. Provided the data was sufficient, it could significantly predict the success or failure of operations and plan accordingly.
It was a unique advantage of the Dragon Soaring Knights.
"Oh, Feng, come over. Let’s make a trade."
Xiao Jie immediately felt a surge of excitement, knowing that it must be the Monster Inner Cores.
Clicking on the trade, he saw three inner cores suddenly appear in the trading column.
