Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Greedy Wolf

Martial Arts Hall, when Chen Qingniu returned, he couldn’t help but ask in wonder, “Master, why did you let Wang Xuan leave? If he encounters danger, wouldn’t it mean facing life-threatening situations?”

In his view, there was no reason for Wang Xuan to leave; shouldn’t he stay in the Martial Arts Hall, seize the time to practice, and make himself stronger, so he would not stand under dangerous walls?

He the Sixth, shrouded in smoke, said indifferently, “He has his reasons for leaving; someone like Wang Xuan is highly adaptable, able to survive anywhere.

For him, the Martial Arts Hall is indeed the safest place because I’m here. However, Yuzhang City is also a place where turmoil gathers, making it the most dangerous place for him.

Being exposed time and again, too many people with interests will remember him; better to keep away from trouble now, find a place to practice, and when he returns, everything will be different.”

Wang Xuan really wanted those immortals flying around to forget about him; disappearing is a good way to let others forget him and not think about trying to take his life.

Although the Martial Arts Hall is safe, every time the masters of the hall make a move, it costs affection; doing this repeatedly is excessive expenditure of good will.

When the masters at the Martial Arts Hall feel that they’ve done “enough” for Wang Xuan, then his life-and-death crisis truly won’t be managed, so he’d rather go out now, quietly grow, and maintain the bonds with the Martial Arts Hall.

Fortunately, those immortal characters remain in Yuzhang City, even if he leaves, they won’t pursue because there’s no time for it.

No one knows how confident Wang Xuan truly is; as long as he has enough source power, within a few years he can rise to the Earth Immortal Realm, and during this period, if martial arts masters tend to him slightly, he can grow safely.

Wang Xuan rode vacuum maglev, heading north from Outer Mongolia; after leaping through several cities, he entered sparsely populated areas, heading to the agreed location with the Hunting Team.

This time, the hunt saw his appearance a few days late, but it did not matter; the Hunting Team had enough time and enough prey, as long as there is strength, results will follow.

The personal terminal is no longer turned on, instead using special communicators; the wilderness is a place where the network of laws is sparse, and just by drilling a bit through, it can be bypassed, a place where it’s too difficult to investigate the dead, requiring precaution.

Changing attire and disguise, after using Bone Shrinking Technique and Puffing Technique, Wang Xuan’s appearance changed drastically, unrecognizable to anyone; he had never been so cautious before.

With a long knife at his waist and a sniper rifle on his back, he changed various means of transportation and frequently alternated routes, finally stepping into Siberia on foot, this haven for beasts, a place where humans stop.

Between human settlements and the White Frost Plain border lies a buffer zone, where beast density is lower, and martial artists and cultivators frequently come and go in the wilderness. Crossing this buffer, even snipers like Wang Xuan must keep their eyes sharp.

If one rushes into the territory of fierce beasts and demon beasts, directly fighting strong creatures results in a high probability of death, hence avoiding these areas, moving on the edges of various territories.

In a valley, a group concealed behind large rocks, with binoculars probing out from one side, observing that ferocious beast of a height of ten feet in the distance.

“Captain, this big guy isn’t easy to deal with.” A burly man, two meters tall with muscles all over, watched the fierce beast with a fearful look; the sheer weight of the ten-foot Iron-Scaled Tiger is quite evident.

Ordinary tigers can fight Bone Refining cultivators, and this mutated creature has grown to the fierce beast peak, with final bloody evolution killing massive creatures, able to battle Bone Marrow Refining cultivators and even Blood Exchange cultivators. And this is without reaching the fierce beast peak; otherwise, few in the Body Refining Realm would dare challenge such a creature.

“It’s tough to handle, which proves its value; this Iron-Scaled Tiger is worth quite a bit, more than our gains from other fierce beasts.” The captain is a vigorous man seeming to be in his thirties but actually nearing fifty.

The Martial Arts Master in the Blood Exchange Realm, well-maintained, can live up to one hundred forty to fifty years, nearly the limit for ordinary human lifespan.

Captain Yan Hua’s plan involves others feigning attacks, while he goes for a lethal strike when the Iron-Scaled Tiger lets down its guard; otherwise, a normal fight will see the beast unleash its ferocity, even putting him at risk.

But the big guy still shook his head: “Captain, you’d better take it head-on; if I get hit once, a few of my bones would break.”

Qin Ba appears honest but isn’t foolish; he normally stands strong in the team, having reached Perfection in Iron Cloth Shirt through Organ Refining cultivation, his Horizontal Training quite solid, compared in game terms to a meat shield.

Though he’s quite large and has decent defense, compared to this Iron-Scaled Tiger, he’s still far behind; this fierce beast’s several thousand pounds of weight is the conservative estimate. His body is all iron, but how many nails can he take?

He probably won’t last more than a few minutes before ending up injured all over.

“If you don’t take some of the weight, we’ll have no chance to resist; are you asking this frail woman to go hand-to-hand with the Iron-Scaled Tiger?” Liu Hong snorted, being a tall, fair-skinned, stunning beauty, she’s quite popular in the Hunting Team.

A somewhat cold-spirited, medium-built, robust man spoke up: “Think of a plan; brute force won’t work. We’re supposed to be smart; don’t let your years of practice turn into mere muscle use.

Liu Hong, aren’t you a poison expert? Why not figure something out.”

He is Leng Feng; his sword remains unsheathed, but it’s a lethal weapon when used, as he specializes in ambushing enemies within the Hunting Team, going for one-hit kills.

Without preparation, even Bone Marrow Refining cultivators might be assassinated by him.

Leng Feng’s scouting and stealth abilities are extremely strong, unmatched by even the captain; his outdoor survival chances far outstrip theirs, considering his assassin background.

“If only Wang Xuan were here, there’d be more solutions.” A man named Shen Yuan spoke; he has no particular specialties, just being relatively fast; among life-saving techniques, he’s the best, outrunning even Captain Yan Hua when fleeing.

Several mechanical spiders crawled around Shen Yuan’s body, clad in the latest Executioner Shield No. 1; besides researching Lightweight Technique, he focuses on electronic technology, providing technical support to the Hunting Team.

Besides these few, two men kept silent, being the action-oriented ones, likely not participating in the brawl compared to Liu Hong and Shen Yuan, but they must take action.

As Bone Marrow Refining cultivators, their combat power in the Hunting Team is second only to Captain Yan Hua.

The team, named Greedy Wolf, belongs to the Celestial Dragon Team, which is vast, encompassing various Star Domains, forming a grand force, albeit loosely organized.

Seven are here, typically consisting of eight members; it was originally nine, but one met their end half a year ago, leaving only them.

Liu Hong snorted coldly, clearly unimpressed with Wang Xuan: “What can he do here? Perpetually in the Meat Training Realm, while I, a so-called weak woman, am in the Bone Refining Realm!

His spear technique is good? So what if his spear technique is good, it’s not like he can only hide on the side shooting, having him go up and fight the Iron-Scaled Tiger, can he do it?

A worthless person, yet some say he’s great, utterly baffling.”

Shen Yuan shook his head, a sniper not engaging in melee fights but shooting from afar; otherwise, what’s a sniper? A sniper whose mind has gone haywire?

Everyone knows this woman holds grudges with Wang Xuan, though Shen Yuan figures that Liu Hong is ticked off, blaming past matters on Wang Xuan.

Her sister died, but what concern is it to others? Wang Xuan didn’t pull the trigger and kill her, really unfathomable.

“You’re possessed.” Shen Yuan had no interest in speaking further with Liu Hong.
