Chapter 156: Take the Lead, Big Brother

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

‘A wolf pack!?’

The continuous wolf howls woke up Zhou Feng.

“Woof!”

He didn’t expect Big Yellow next to him also let out a howl.

Although this howl was full of milk flavor and didn’t have any deterrent force, it was enough to prove Big Yellow’s courage.

‘It ate so fast?’

Zhou Feng glanced at the Spirit Stone in Big Yellow’s paws. It had turned into an empty shell again, and he raised his eyebrows.

This little fellow’s appetite was big.

Zhou Feng took out another Spirit Stone and stuffed it into Big Yellow’s paws. He then walked out of the carriage to check the situation.

Just as Zhou Feng walked out of the carriage, he saw that the scene was chaotic.

Because of the wolf howls, almost all the horned horses pulling the carriages were scared.

Many people were comforting the frightened horses.

“What happened?” Zhou Feng asked Qian Shang.

“We seem to be targeted by the wolves! And it’s The Howling Moon Wolves! I heard that…”

The nervous Qian Shang felt much more at ease when Zhou Feng came out. Then he began to explain what had happened.

This pack of Howling Moon Wolves had their eyes on the caravan. Howling Moon Wolves were the most numerous demonic beasts in the vicinity.

Basically, every adult Howling Moon Wolf had Qi Condensation cultivation.

Moreover, because the demonic beasts’ physical bodies far surpassed those of humans, they were stronger than ordinary Qi Condensation cultivators.

It was also said that these Howling Moon Wolves would even cooperate. Once the number of wolves increased, even Soul Altar cultivators wouldn’t be able to gain any advantage.

The most terrifying aspect was that each wolf pack had a Wolf King.

Those who could become Wolf Kings usually had cultivation comparable to Soul Altar cultivators.

“This is, after all, the United Chamber of Commerce. The hearts of the people aren’t aligned…”

As he spoke, Qian Shang revealed a trace of worry on his face.

This was because countless merchant groups formed the United Chamber of Commerce.

Once they encountered danger, they would prioritize protecting themselves.

This way, the wolf pack would easily find an opportunity to split up the battlefield.

The Howling Moon Wolf wasn’t the only demonic beast in the wild. Other demonic beasts were eyeing them like tigers eyeing their prey.

Under such circumstances, it was no wonder that Qian Shang was so worried.

This joint caravan had enough people, so it could intimidate most of the lone demonic beasts in the wild. Only then could they pass through this road.

Once there were too many casualties, it might not be enough to intimidate some of the demonic beasts.

This would have a huge impact on the rest of the journey.

‘So troublesome?’

Zhou Feng frowned and used his perception to sense the location of the Howling Moon Wolves.

To be honest, he did not want any accidents to happen now. It would be best if they could reach Heavenly Star City smoothly. The longer he dragged this out in the wild, the greater the risk.

Because of this, Zhou Feng suddenly made a surprising move.

‘Blood-Burning Technique! Spiritual Attachment Art!

‘Activate!’

Zhou Feng unleashed his strongest aura without hesitation, even burning his Blood Qi.

“This… This aura?”

“Who is it? What are they doing?”

“…”

Zhou Feng’s overbearing and fierce aura made most of the people around them feel extremely uncomfortable.

It was too oppressive!

Just the aura alone was enough to make most of them unable to breathe.

“Awooo!”

The Howling Moon Wolf King, which had been circling outside the caravan, did not want to be outdone. It erupted with a terrifying aura as well.

Zhou Feng and the Howling Moon Wolf King exchanged blows in the air.

“Is it that person from this morning?”

“Is he fighting with the Howling Moon Wolf King!?”

“I didn’t expect that! This person actually stood up? Why is that?”

“…”

What many people didn’t expect was that Zhou Feng actually took the initiative to stand up against the Howling Moon Wolf King.

To those large caravans, the Howling Moon Wolves were not a big threat to them.

Even if the outer defense line collapsed, only the small merchant caravans would suffer heavy losses.

And once the wolf pack was full, coupled with the deterrence of these large merchant caravans, they would usually retreat.

Therefore, those Soul Altar cultivators in charge of protecting the large merchant caravans were basically sitting on a fishing platform.

They basically wouldn’t do anything to stand out.

After all, there was a risk in being the first to stand out. Once those beasts targeted them, even if they didn’t die, they would still be heavily injured.

For those Soul Altar cultivators, doing nothing was the best choice.

However, Zhou Feng didn’t. He directly went up against the Wolf King.

“AWOOOO!”

The Howling Moon Wolf King and Zhou Feng faced each other, and in the end, it realized that it couldn’t suppress Zhou Feng no matter what.

It also sensed that there were many powerful auras in the joint caravan.

After weighing the pros and cons, the Howling Moon Wolf King actually retreated.

The elusive wolf pack quietly disappeared into the distance with a wolf howl.

“Retreated? Did they retreat in fear?”

“This seems to be the first time! This is the first time I’ve seen the Howling Moon Wolves retreat in fear!”

“That’s great!”

“…”

The Howling Moon Wolves’ sudden retreat filled many people’s faces with astonishment.

What followed was a pleasant surprise, as well as gratitude toward Zhou Feng.

A good person! This was definitely a great person!

Zhou Feng’s actions were definitely a great favor to the small merchant caravans.

Because of him, these small merchant caravans had avoided great losses.

Since Zhou Feng had accomplished his goal, he silently deactivated the Blood-Burning Technique and Spiritual Attachment Art.

He just didn’t want to slow down the speed of his journey to Heavenly Star City.

Such a thing wasn’t worth mentioning to Zhou Feng.

Moreover, when Zhou Feng deactivated the Blood-Burning Technique and Spiritual Attachment Art, his passive skills were triggered!

The first skill that was triggered was the passive Tenacious Heart!

He could recover 1% of his HP per second.

A large amount of Blood Qi and Spiritual Qi was consumed, and the injuries in Zhou Feng’s body healed at speed visible to the naked eye.

One, two, three!

Three seconds! In just the time it took to count to three, Zhou Feng’s injuries had recovered entirely.

1

Other than consuming some Blood Qi and Spiritual Qi, his condition had once again recovered to its peak.

He once again felt the passive Tenacious Heart’s terror!

He only needed to leave the battle state to be able to recover his injuries, and this recovery speed was truly frightening.

This was the true method of breathing and recovering blood.

After forcing back the Howling Moon Wolf King, Zhou Feng also returned to the horse carriage.

This night passed peacefully.

Not long after, the sky slowly turned white.

The long night had passed, and the day had arrived.

During this period, many small merchant caravans had sent some gifts to Qian Shang in order to express their gratitude for Zhou Feng’s actions last night.

The backbone of the entire joint caravan had actually shifted slightly because of last night’s event.

Initially, the backbone of the joint caravan was the three large merchant caravans, and they made some decisions.

But from today onward, perhaps the voice of this joint caravan would begin to shift.

From last night’s performance, Zhou Feng was undoubtedly more suitable to be the leader of this joint caravan.

To be honest, Zhou Feng hadn’t thought of this before.

Originally, he merely wanted to deter the wolf pack from charging into the caravan so that they could arrive at Heavenly Star City faster.

As for being their leader? This wasn’t what Zhou Feng wanted!
