Playing with fantasy beasts in the martial arts world

Chapter 16 Wolf Brothers
After eating the Wolf Hunter Palu Egg, Cha Nan's shoulder injury had almost completely healed. After moving the materials over, Cha Nan first lit up the primitive workbench and took out the workbench.

Watching Cha Nan casually piece together two pieces of wood to create a simple table, Guo Fu stared wide-eyed at Cha Nan's hands with curiosity, as if she wanted to reach out and touch them to see what was so magical about them.

As if she had made a connection to something, her pretty face suddenly turned rosy, and her eyes became even more moist as she looked at Cha Nan.

Cha Nan ignored Guo Fu's curiosity, activated the low-level Palu Ball crafting with the last technology point, then retrieved the materials Guo Fu had collected earlier and began crafting the Palu Ball.

As the creation of the Paluk Ball began, Cha Nan could clearly feel his physical strength and internal energy being rapidly depleted.

It takes about three minutes to make a low-level Palu Ball. After making it, Cha Nan's internal energy was completely exhausted, and his energy was somewhat depleted. If he hadn't eaten two Palu Eggs in succession and still had a lot of stored essence in his body, Cha Nan was not sure if he could have made a complete Palu Ball.

"What's the logic behind this? Why is it so quick and stable to make a workbench with almost no energy consumption, but it's so difficult to make a Palu ball?"

"Is this how everything is made, or is the Paluk Ball the only one that's special?" Cha Nan has limited resources in all aspects and cannot make a comparison to find the answer. He can only guess that the Paluk Ball might be special because its effect is indeed very incredible.

This tiny sphere can not only capture mythical beasts and even humans, but also tame and modify them.

If you were to call this technology, Cha Nan couldn't even imagine how dark it really was.

Cha Nan even speculated that the native humans in this fantasy world might have had a much harder time making Paluks than he did.

The logic is simple: if making Paluks were easy for native humans, the world would already be full of towns and cities, instead of being occupied by mythical beasts, with very few traces of human activity.

After making one Paru Ball, he would rest for about ten minutes. An hour later, Chanan successfully made six low-level Paru Balls, using up all the black stones he had.

With the addition of the Paluk Ball she found earlier, Chanan now has seven Paluk Balls protecting her, and her confidence soars.

Ouch!

A mournful wolf howl echoed from the nearby mountains and forests.

Then all that could be heard was the rustling of leaves.

The cotton slugs, who had been grazing with their heads down, all looked up, revealing wary or even fearful expressions, and huddled together in groups of three or five.

The chickens flapped their wings and flew up to the tree branches.

Although most mythical beasts possess ranged attack capabilities, flying onto tree branches isn't exactly safe, but at least standing a bit higher gives these little chickens a slight sense of security.

Huff, huff, huff!
Heavy breathing could be heard as two male wolves emerged from the woods. When they saw the broken eggshells on the ground, their ferocious eyes instantly turned bloodshot.

Following the scent, they quickly located the culprit.

The aroma of roasted Paru eggs still lingered on Cha Nan and Guo Fu.

Cha Nan glanced at Yun Zhonghe, who was still recovering inside the stronghold and whose health bar was not yet full, and summoned him out without any emotion, holding him in front of her.

At the same time, he pressed his hands to the ground, and the soil and rocks in the stronghold churned up, forming a cluster of pillars of varying heights.

Both Yun Zhonghe and Lie Lang are known for their speed, but Lie Lang has a higher linear speed. Its body structure determines that it is not as good as Yun Zhonghe, who is skilled in light-footed movement, in short-distance maneuvering and movement.

After all, the cranes in the clouds run on two legs, while they have four.

Cha Nan created this environment to facilitate Yun Zhonghe's operations and to restrain the two hunting wolves that had come to pursue him.

Moreover, as long as the wolf hunters' speed is restricted, Pipi Chicken and Mianyouyou might have a chance to seize the opportunity and deliver a vicious blow. Although the wolf hunters' target is him and Guo Fu, Mianyouyou and Pipi Chicken are unaware that they are destined to take the fall for Cha Nan.

After all, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. They forage and move around on Chanan's territory, so it's time for them to pay their rent.

Baa, baa, baa!

Glug glug!
Cotton and the chickens teamed up to make noise, trying to threaten the two hunting wolves into leaving.

The two wolves stomped their feet, drooped their tails, had fierce eyes, dripped saliva from the corners of their mouths, and locked onto Cha Nan and Guo Fu with bloodshot eyes, making threatening 'huffing' noises.

Suddenly, one of the hunting wolves pounced, its body moving so fast that it became a blur in mid-air, its mouth snapping straight at Cha Nan's throat.

It was fast, but Yun Zhonghe was not slow either. He flashed and stood in front of Cha Nan, throwing out his steel claws to pierce the wolf's abdomen. Previously, he had been surrounded by the wolves and seemed powerless to fight back. It was as if he, a first-class martial arts master, was too weak. Now that he had the advantage of home ground and there were only two wolves, Yun Zhonghe's skills were finally revealed.

With a single strike, he sent the wolf flying. Then, he tore apart an air cannon with his steel claws, his movements as swift as a ghost, appearing behind another wolf and poised to strike with his claw.

The fierce wolf felt a chill run down its spine and hurriedly turned around, but it was too late.

Awooo!

The wolf let out a shrill scream, and drops of blood dripped from between its legs.

The cobblers who had originally planned to use their self-destruct abilities to block a wave of attacks all fell silent, looking at the unfortunate wolf with pity and sympathy.

Cha Nan aimed with the Palo Alto and found that the capture probability had reached 32%, which was a 30% success rate. If he wasn't unlucky, there was a chance of getting the kill in one shot.

"Great! That's the rhythm, Yun Zhonghe, keep going... be even more insidious. You're the villain, so don't worry about your image. Use whatever shameless tricks you have!" Cha Nan cheered for Yun Zhonghe from the side.

At this moment, he even had a breakthrough in thinking: subduing Palu doesn't necessarily require a direct confrontation; wouldn't using hidden weapons or poison be just as effective?

I'll look into it when I have the chance.

Before Yun Zhonghe could even form a proper smile, a clump of dark mud smeared his face. Then another wolf pounced on him, biting his thigh and tearing him apart, leaving a large chunk of flesh torn off.

In pain, Yun Zhonghe let out a scream and, without bothering to explain, threw a handful of powder onto the wolf's face. The wolf choked on the powder and had no choice but to release its grip.

Yun Zhonghe limped onto the earthen pillar, managing to dodge two consecutive air cannon shots with some agility. His face was already pale, and his occasional sidelong glances at Cha Nan were full of resentment.

Huff! Huff! Huff!

The wolf, its male pride shattered, let out a mournful howl, urging its buddies to join it in the attack to avenge its 'brother.' Little did it know that its buddies' gazes toward it were beginning to change.

Anyone who frequently watches stray dogs fight at the village entrance knows that dogs have done all the tricks that humans have done, and in fact, they do them even more elaborately than humans.

Dogs and wolves have many similarities.

The wolf, whose shank had just been ripped out, suddenly felt a familiar scent press against it, and then the excruciating pain was followed by an even greater tearing.

Awooo!

The screams were particularly shrill, causing the wolves that had heard the first few howls and were rushing to the rescue to stop in their tracks, prick up their ears, and show a human-like look of confusion on their wolf faces.
