Chapter 305

At this moment, Xiao Yi paid no attention to the grieving howls of the Wolf King, instead walking toward the wooden spear stained with wolf blood.

Xiao Yi’s body was saturated with bloodlust, his heart still cold from the aftermath of terror.

Although Xiao Yi had yet to use the Absolute Defense he had exchanged earlier to guard against Daniel.

Even without Doggie’s final strike, Xiao Yi wouldn’t have died.

But just now, Xiao Yi had indeed faced the most dangerous moment of his time in this wilderness—even more perilous than when the brown bear had crushed down on him.

That time, the snow had cushioned the bear’s impact; even without Absolute Defense, Xiao Yi might still have had a sliver of hope to survive.

But just now, two wolves had targeted his throat and spine—any one of those bites would have meant certain death.

Of course, Doggie’s final strike was still essential.

Otherwise, if Xiao Yi had used Absolute Defense, especially during a live broadcast, he might not have been able to explain it, and would’ve been forced to resort to hard qigong as an excuse.

“Woo!”

“Woo!”

Seeing Xiao Yi walking alone toward the wolf pack, Blackie was frightened and quickly followed after him.

“Watch the Wolf King!”

As for Erhei and Doggie, they also wanted to rush over to protect Xiao Yi, but then heard Xiao Yi’s cold voice speak.

Now that things had come to this, Xiao Yi had no reason to spare the old Wolf King—this old wolf must die today.

Upon hearing this, Doggie and Erhei immediately turned their gaze back to the Wolf King, fixing their eyes tightly on every move he made.

Even Doggie, who had spent the most time with Xiao Yi, felt uneasy—he had never seen Xiao Yi so cold.

But this state of Xiao Yi filled him with an intense sense of danger, making Doggie himself feel afraid.

Soon, the three bears realized they had overthought it—this cold Xiao Yi didn’t just feel dangerous to them; even the wolf pack was now fearful.

As Xiao Yi passed through the wolf pack, though the wolves howled angrily, each one shrank back several steps in terror as he drew near.

They let him walk past them—clearly, the wolves had been terrified by Xiao Yi’s slaughter.

After all, the battle had lasted only half an hour, yet six wolves had been hunted down, five of them by Xiao Yi himself.

This was an unprecedented blow to the pack, and now they faced the very threat of annihilation.

Thus, Xiao Yi walked straight to the bloodstained spear, lifted it up, and took hold of it again.

Because it had just pierced through the neck of a wolf, the wooden spear still retained a faint warmth of wolf blood.

Holding the bloodied wooden spear, Xiao Yi looked even more sinister—and far more intimidating.

At this moment, the livestream viewers witnessed this scene and were all stunned.

“My God, Xiao Shen holding a bloodstained wooden spear is so cool!”

“What’s this ‘bloodstained wooden spear’? Call it Bloodwolf Spear! After all, it’s bathed in wolf blood—isn’t that a cooler name?”

“Too rustic. How about ‘Godslayer Spear’? Haha, I think that’s better!”

“Cough, bro, you’ve wandered into the wrong set—this is a wilderness challenge show, not a primordial myth drama.”

“I think ‘Snowwolf Spear’ sounds even better than ‘Bloodwolf Spear’!”

“No, ‘Bloodwolf Spear’ sounds more bloody and majestic!”

“But have you noticed how terrifying Xiao Shen looks holding that spear now?”

“I feel uneasy too—Xiao Shen is completely different from before.”

“He’s become more serious, more cold—I still prefer the old Xiao Shen.”

“Exactly, I feel the same!”

“If you’d just gone through that level of extreme danger, you’d change too.”

……

……

In truth, Xiao Yi was still not recovered from the panic of just now—his cold demeanor was partly a mask for his inner fear.

Of course, netizens were now mostly discussing the wooden spear stained with wolf blood, even Fenfen naming it.

But Xiao Yi, of course, knew nothing of the livestream’s chatter—he turned his gaze once more toward the Wolf King.

Xiao Yi wondered: would the old Wolf King choose to make the entire pack die with him?

In truth, even if the battle continued, the pack wouldn’t all stay behind to die for the Wolf King.

Because fear had already taken root within the pack.

After Xiao Yi and Doggie had just killed two more wolves, the wolves’ once-fierce eyes had grown dull and confused.

Otherwise, when Xiao Yi walked alone to retrieve the spear, no wolf would have dared to stop him—even with the overwhelming bloodlust radiating from him.

Because the pack had lost all will to resist—or had accepted that the tide had turned beyond reversal.

If Xiao Yi killed one more wolf now, some wolves would surely flee the pack.

Though wolves are loyal, united, and never abandon their own, that doesn’t mean every wolf fears death.

“Aowu!”

As Xiao Yi stared at the Wolf King, the Wolf King scanned the surrounding area.

He let out another howl, filled with reluctance and bitterness.

He never imagined that stealing from a human hunter would bring such ruin upon his entire pack.

Yet even now, the Wolf King felt no regret—in this wilderness, it was always the strong preying on the weak, always survival of the fittest.

He had simply met a stronger opponent.

Besides, the Wolf King had roamed this wilderness for many years—he had no regrets, only sorrow for his pack.

This was the super pack he had built himself—but now it could no longer be called a super pack.

Yet if the pack retreated now, it would still be a formidable force in this wilderness.

Even without him, they could still survive here.

But now, the Wolf King must say farewell to his pack—he could no longer protect them.

“Aowu!”

“Aowu!”

Hearing the Wolf King’s howl—filled with release—the entire pack wailed in mourning, as if bidding farewell to their old leader.

Soon after, the first wolf fled into the forest; then the second followed quickly.

The third, fourth, fifth, sixth!

Afterward, only the Wolf King and the She-Wolf remained on the low hill.

The She-Wolf slowly walked toward the Wolf King, pressing her head against his neck, nuzzling close.

“Wuuu!”

The Wolf King’s voice grew urgent, urging the She-Wolf to flee—but the she-wolf remained unmoved, lying down beside him.

Seeing the pack flee, both Blackie and Doggie wanted to hunt down the escaping wolves, but Xiao Yi called them to stop.

Xiao Yi knew the old Wolf King had chosen to sacrifice himself to preserve the remaining wolves—and he had no objection to granting him that mercy.

Yet when he saw the Wolf King and She-Wolf in this scene,

Xiao Yi couldn’t help but be moved—but he also knew this was no time for misplaced compassion.
