“Awoo!”
The Steelback Blue Alpha Wolf’s offensive capabilities were actually relatively average compared to its defensive capabilities. Against a battle formation formed by wielding long and short weapons, and compared to when it surrounded others as a wolf pack previously, the wolf found it difficult to gain the upper hand against the ten elites who were clearly much more familiar with the operation of battle formations.
Even though it was an Extraordinary creature, the moves it grasped were too much of a burden. However, the layer of black fur on the Steelback Blue Alpha Wolf’s body that was as hard as steel was indeed troublesome.
Clang, clang, clang…
Although it was surrounded by a battle formation, be it blades, axes, or spears, they could not deal any damage to it.
Instead, several elite soldiers were injured by the Alpha Wolf’s continuous counterattack!
Thankfully, the black fur did not cover the Alpha Wolf’s entire body.
Furthermore, it was definitely unable to protect its eyes!
Whoosh!
After the other soldiers suffered injuries and forcefully limited the Blue Alpha Wolf’s movements,
Qin Yueyu, who had long taken out a talisman arrow, took advantage of the Blue Alpha Wolf’s carelessness and shot an arrow through the air, hitting its eye precisely.
Boom!
Then, the talisman power on the arrow exploded in the Blue Alpha Wolf’s head, immediately causing it to be severely injured!
“Pew!”
Li Qing seized the opportunity and rushed forward. The saber in his hand pierced through a small piece of the Blue Alpha Wolf’s white fur on its chest like Ji Ye did previously. It directly pierced through its heart!
Whoosh!
Having lost its totem wolf skin, it was obviously impossible for the Alpha Wolf to transform into a wolf soul to attack again after its death. Just like the previous two trial creatures, it turned into a yellow power of providence.
However, this time, they were scattered among the ten people who formed the battle formation. Qin Yueyu and Li Qing clearly obtained more.
“Wa, Ninth Uncle, help!”
On the other side of the battlefield where Ninth Uncle was in charge, trouble ensued!
After fighting Jade Scorpion for more than a minute, Mister Bug finally stopped his “Hero’s Possession” state because of his lacking body that couldn’t support the divine talisman.
Then, his legs went limp as he genuflected on the ground. He looked at the Jade Scorpion charging at him with a pair of large pincers and yelled.
“Bellyband!”
Ninth Uncle’s unibrowled face was slightly covered in sweat. He formed a hand seal and shouted at him from behind the altar.
“Ah… Yes!”
Mister Bug reacted and quickly took off his red bellyband that had a tied knot. Using the last ounce of his strength, he threw it at the charging Jade Scorpion’s face. He could see that the back of the red bellyband that was flipped over had a large swath of hidden red runes drawn.
Pop! Crackle!
The moment the red bellyband came into contact with the Jade Scorpion, the runes on it suddenly lit up.
Then, several bolts of lightning covered the Jade Scorpion’s body.
It was the Thunder Talisman Ji Ye had specially practiced previously, but because the Soul Alpha Wolf was too powerful, he did not use it much in battle against the Souls.
Among Maoshan’s Five Thunder Art talismans that Ninth Uncle grasped, although the most demanding and strongest talisman art was the “divine talisman”, it was naturally the “Thunder Talisman” that was the true core considering its name!
The Jade Scorpion’s carapace had been damaged greatly in the previous battle.
After the power of lightning erupted, it immediately entered its organs. The Jade Scorpion’s body that emitted the fragrance of roasted meat dissipated from the impact. It turned into the power of providence like the three Extraordinary creatures from before!
Hum!
When the four powers of providence entered the core shrine of the fort, two yellow dragons of providence coiled around each other and rushed up from the fort to announce that the human race had become the first race to advance in this region.
[The settlement you belong to has advanced. According to your contribution in the entire settlement’s advancement process, you obtained 122 Honor.]
As expected, when the settlement leveled up, a reward message appeared in his head.
However, compared to normal Honor, there was another piece of information that attracted Ji Ye’s attention.
[You have contributed the most to the current settlement as a Chosen One. You are now eligible to enter the City of Humans in the first round!]
[The first entry to City of Humans will be seven days from now. At that time, you need to ensure that the settlement’s power of providence is at a sufficient state.]
The term “City of Humans” appeared once again. Coupled with the Golden Card in his mind, Ji Ye could not help but think.
City of Humans.
As the name suggested, it was a city built by humans in the Land of Inheritance, right?
Compared to Ren Hamlet and Twin Dragon Mount which were “village towns,” that was a “city” which was one level higher, right?
Also, how could he enter the city?
According to the last clue, it shouldn’t be like searching for the starter settlement which required people to cross the map on foot…
“Chief Lu, do you know anything about this City of Humans?”
Ji Ye pondered as he saw Lu Zhishen walking over with the staff in hand. He could not help but have a thought.
Since the notification specifically mentioned that he was number one in contribution among the Chosen Ones, those who contributed among the natives would definitely be selected.
Even though Ninth Uncle had played a huge role in the battle to eliminate the Souls, his overall contribution was definitely inferior to Lu Zhishen.
“No idea!”
Unfortunately, although Lu Zhishen had a lot of information regarding the Land of Inheritance, he did not know about the City of Humans.
Similar to Ji Ye, he had just obtained a Golden Card.
It wasn’t just Lu Zhishen. Everyone who participated in the kill received a “City of Humans Card”!
Among them, Ninth Uncle, Qin Yueyu, and Li Qing obtained Silver Cards. As for Chu Yin, Mister Bug, and the other eight elite soldiers, they obtained Bronze Cards.
However, they did not receive any notification that they could enter the City of Humans.
Clearly, there were only two spots in the first round.
“Then let’s leave it at that for now. There’s still seven days after all.”
“Now that the settlement has been leveled up, let’s go in and see what kind of items we can convert from the Stones of Civilization that the Souls’ Chosen Ones dropped.”
Ji Ye didn’t harp on the matter.
However, before that, he had something to settle.
“Let’s keep these wolves in captivity!”
Ji Ye turned around and pointed at the few Steelback Blue Wolves that were still sprawled on the ground. He said to Su Nongying, who had just walked out of the village.
These Steelback Blue Wolves didn’t have high levels, but their speed was faster than most creatures. They were better at running in forests and on rocks.
After raising a Rank-6 “Strong Wolf”, its size would be enough for humans to ride on it.
Furthermore, because of the steelback hide, he did not need to worry about the problem of how normal canines couldn’t bear weights.
In the future, he might have a chance to cultivate some Steelback Wolf Knights!
