The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 3077 Healing
There are over a thousand wolves in the entire cave, and they are all quite strong.

Of course, for Chen Mo, although these wolves were quite strong, they didn't pose much of a danger. If they rushed over to attack him, they would probably only deplete some of his true energy.

However, what he was thinking about now was how to ensure that killing all the wolves wouldn't affect the stalactite on the stone pillar. He also needed to check whether there was any stalactite on the stone pillar platform.

Unfortunately, the cave is now teeming with wolves, nearly a thousand of them filling the cave hall. If he goes in to kill them, he might provoke them and damage the stone pillar.

However, while Chen Mo was still observing the cave and thinking about how to safely remove the stalactites, he saw the wolf leap a few times and arrive at the stone pillar, beginning to lick it.

Now Chen Mo finally understood why the section at the bottom of the stone pillar was so smooth—it was because of the licking of wolves.

After the alpha wolf licked him, he found that the alpha wolf had regained its energy, easily leaped to a stone platform nearly ten meters high, and then slowly lay down, seemingly to rest.

After the alpha wolf finished licking the stone pillar, the other wolves, according to their status and position within the pack, took turns licking it one by one.

Sure enough, these smooth spots were all licked by these sycophants.

After each wolf finished licking the stone pillar, it retreated and found a spot to lie down and rest. Of course, the places these wolves chose were related to their status in the pack; the stronger the wolf, the closer it was to the alpha wolf, and the weaker the wolf, the farther away it was from the alpha wolf.

After watching the wolves lick the stone pillars, Chen Mo gradually understood why these wolves were so huge and powerful. It was because of the stalactites that this was the result.

In particular, these wolves live in this cave, using it as their habitat, and also to protect this stone pillar.

Indeed, every change has a traceable cause and effect.

In particular, some wolves that were previously injured or seriously wounded are now gradually recovering.

This also shows that these stalactites must be rare and precious natural materials, otherwise they wouldn't have such effects.

Now, Chen Mo is even more curious about whether there are any pits or holes on the stone pillar that might store some stalactites.

After all, when the stalactites formed by the stalactites drip down, they create a water droplet effect. Over thousands of years, this should be enough to create a cavity in the stone below, allowing the stalactites to be stored.

The stone pillar before us is likely formed from stalactites that overflowed from a hollow at its top, flowing down the pillar and creating a patina. This explains why wolves lick the pillar to heal their wounds, increase their strength, and grow larger.

Of course, even if there are no holes on the stone pillar, and the stalactites drip down and directly moisten the entire pillar, Chen Mo would still take the stone pillar away.

After all, the patina on the stone pillar is formed by stalactites flowing down it, and it can be ingested if it hangs down. Of course, there's no need to cut off and use the areas that have been licked until they look like mirrors.

After all, this area has been licked by thousands of wolves, so it's not very hygienic, and the stalactite content is probably very low.

He had just been thinking that if there were no recesses on the stone pillar to store stalactites, he wouldn't want to waste his true energy killing these wolves. But now the entire stone pillar was covered with a thick layer of stalactite patina, and this patina was even more potent than the liquid stalactites themselves, so he had to take the stone pillar with him.

If you come across something good, it would be a real shame not to take it.

Now that we have a general understanding of the situation and there is no way to avoid these wolves, we can only lure them out, kill them, and then collect the stalactites.

If we were to kill the wolves in this cave, they might recklessly smash through the stone pillars, crushing them to pieces. That would be a waste of our efforts.

He dodged backward, then took out the Soul-Chasing Nail and threw a stone at the wolf closest to him in the cave, injuring it instantly.

The wolf, which had been resting with its eyes closed and enjoying the benefits of the stalactites, was hit by a stone and began to howl in pain.

The entire wolf pack was instantly alerted. The alpha wolf leaped to the injured wolf, sniffed it around, and then barked at the stone cave passage where Chen Mo was.

Instantly, hundreds of wolves, like soldiers receiving orders, charged towards the stone cave passage.

The cave was only wide enough to accommodate two wolves side by side, but instead, hundreds of wolves rushed into the cave passage and ran quickly toward the entrance.

Chen Mo also retreated, quickly running towards the outside of the passage. After all, if he killed the wolves inside, they would eventually block the passage, and their blood would contaminate the entire area. Therefore, he decided to lure the wolves out of the passage first, and then kill them.

Besides, his current spiritual control only extends to about three and a half meters, and the Soul-Chasing Nails are also used within this range. If he wanted to kill the wolves, he wouldn't be able to do so, and the wolves behind the passage might even escape.

After Chen Mo slipped out of the passage, he stood close to the top of it. Because he had used a talisman, all his aura was contained within it and did not leak out. Therefore, the pack of wolves, which emerged from the stone cave passage, did not target him.

Hundreds of wolves rushed out of the cave. When the last one darted out of the passage, Chen Mo instantly blocked the passage. Then, the Soul-Chasing Nail flashed out and burrowed into the mouth of the last wolf, emerging from its head.

In an instant, the wolf was killed by the Soul-Chasing Nail. It didn't even have time to utter a sound before it collapsed to the ground, dead.

Meanwhile, the wolves in front, still howling after rushing out without noticing Chen Mo, were still barking.

Chen Mo flashed forward again, and the Soul-Chasing Nail followed suit, instantly piercing the ear of the second wolf and then shooting out of its mouth, bringing out several wolf teeth. The wolf collapsed to the ground the moment it was attacked, and died.

Then came the third, the fourth, the fifth...

However, after killing many wolves, some wolves would gather together. When they saw their companions lying on the ground, they would also see Chen Mo.

Immediately, the pack of wolves pounced on Chen Mo, trying to tear him apart.

Unexpectedly, the Soul-Chasing Nails spun around and killed all the wolves that surrounded them.

The wolf pounced without regard for anything else, trying to tear at the clothes, but it couldn't even bite the hem of the garment, and instead died on the Soul-Chasing Nail.

Hundreds of wolves were killed in no time and lay on the ground in front of the cave.

Chen Mo stepped forward and put all the liquid into his Qiankun bag. These wolves could become food later, especially since they were powerful and the energy contained in their bodies would be beneficial to eat.

Of course, the benefits for Chen Mo may be very few, but for Ouyang Ruoxi and others, they will be much greater.

He darted back into the cave passage and returned to the entrance of the cave hall. He then used a stone to lure the wolves out of the cave hall.

Although the alpha wolf was exceptionally strong and highly intelligent, it was still a wild beast and did not understand the concept of piecemeal tactics. Instead, upon seeing another wolf being attacked, it howled and dispatched hundreds of wolves to hunt down Chen Mo.

Once again, hundreds of wolves repeated the same result as before: after rushing out of the stone cave passage, they were all impaled and killed by the Soul-Chasing Nails. Some wolves were even quite perceptive; realizing they couldn't escape, they were directly pinned to death on the spot by the Soul-Chasing Nails.

He put the hundreds of dead wolves back into his storage bag, then returned to the cave hall to lure out the third batch of wolves.

The wolves chased after them time and time again, wiping them out time and time again. In the end, only the alpha wolf, some wounded wolves, and a few cubs remained in the cave. The rest of the wolves had been taken into Chen Mo's Qiankun bag.

This time, Chen Mo didn't throw stones at them again, but instead went into the cave to face the wolves directly.

In the blink of an eye, the Soul-Chasing Nails pinned the wolves to their deaths in the cave once more.

When the alpha wolf saw this, it raised its head and howled, but no other wolves joined in!
Seeing his tribe wiped out by Chen Mo, the alpha wolf could no longer stand it and leaped out, trying to pounce on Chen Mo and tear him apart.

Of course, Chen Mo also avoided the stone pillar in the middle, so that when the alpha wolf charged up, it wouldn't smash or break the stone pillar along with it.

As the alpha wolf pounced, the Soul-Chasing Nail also rushed forward instantly. However, unexpectedly, the alpha wolf suddenly stepped onto the stone wall, then leaped up and bared its teeth, charging at Chen Mo once again.

"Huh? This wolf is fast! I didn't expect it to be able to dodge the Soul-Chasing Nails!" Chen Mo was also surprised by the wolf's speed. Seeing the wolf leaping towards him, he kicked out.

Unexpectedly, the alpha wolf dodged Chen Mo's attack once again.

Chen Mo followed again, wanting to see just how fast the wolf was.

Having previously fought other wolves and never encountered this one before, he hadn't expected it to be so fast. It seemed this wolf possessed a natural talent for speed, allowing it to evade his attacks.
