That's right, the gray wolf that Li Wei just killed gave him another 30 hunting experience points. Combined with the previous 75 hunting experience points, he now has 105 points, which is just enough to upgrade his one-star hunter card.

Cool!
But this should be considered a quick transition during the beginner period.

Thinking this, Li Wei also thought about the final battle with the wolf pack tonight. There were still three wolves outside, but it was possible that another one would spawn.

Therefore, he alone had to hold off at least the black wolf and the other gray wolf.

So, how should we allocate these five newly acquired free attribute points?
Strength, or agility?
His ability to grab the wall and escape from the wolf's jaws at the critical moment was largely due to his 7 points of agility.

This greatly improved his physical coordination, balance, and reaction speed.

However, tonight's head-on battle will require more than just agility.

After thinking for a moment, Li Wei decided to increase his agility to 8 points. Then he checked his defense attribute, which was 3 points. Should he add the remaining four points to it? What effect would 7 points of defense achieve?
Can it withstand the bites of wolf claws?
He didn't know, and he didn't dare to take the risk.

"Comparatively speaking, physical strength is actually more important."

"Once your physical strength is exhausted, it is impossible to recover quickly in a short period of time, and you will be at the mercy of others."

"In addition, without the attributes of stamina, strength, and agility, they cannot be fully utilized."

At this moment, Li Wei looked at his attribute panel. When he woke up this morning, his condition was naturally excellent. However, after a brief battle, he actually consumed 50 stamina points.

In particular, the simple action of climbing over the wall and jumping back at the last second took up a full 40 points.

"So even if you do nothing, you will still consume energy when you are under high stress."

"We must learn from this and learn to control our emotions..."

"Don't be like Fila; being too anxious will affect your performance."

At this point, Li Wei had made up his mind. Without saying a word, he added all four remaining free attribute points to his stamina, raising it from 100 to 140.

The next second, he suddenly felt hungry, extremely hungry.

It feels like there's a fire burning inside my stomach.

Li Wei was shocked, but he quickly got up, tore off a piece of wolf jerky, and began to chew it.

The hunger only gradually subsided after the wolf jerky was eaten.

Looking at my stamina, the recovery speed was much faster than usual.

There seems to be some hidden pattern here.

"Moo!"

Inside the camp, the old ox was bellowing anxiously. It hadn't drunk any water for two days. Fortunately, Li Wei had cut enough grass beforehand, which ensured that it wouldn't go hungry and could also replenish some water. So, although it was thirsty, at least it wasn't in any danger of dying.

Fila and Penny are both taking the time to rest.

The valley outside the camp was peaceful, with only swarms of buzzing flies, grasshoppers, and small birds flying around.

Li Wei was also thirsty, but she could still endure it.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Fila and Penny came out of the house, both looking very serious. "George, we plan to use a strategy of luring the enemy in, that is, letting those wolves in and killing them at the entrance. Now we are just worried that they will not fall for it. If they keep fighting with us outside, that would be terrible."

Fila spoke first.

"Therefore, we need to have a two-pronged plan. If we can win the battle, that would be great. Otherwise, we will go out and fight them head-on."

"Okay, I agree."

Li Wei didn't care; he was in peak condition and felt he could easily fight the two wolves hand-to-hand.

“The entrance to the cowshed needs to be sealed off, George, you do that. Mother, you go back and rest. I'll make another hunting bow; hopefully it will be useful.”

Penny then offered her suggestion.

Having a bow and arrows, even if it means shooting down a gray wolf beforehand, would be a huge advantage in the final battle, and she wouldn't be stingy with that now.

Li Wei and Fila naturally wouldn't refuse.

Soon, the sun set. Although they were very thirsty, the three of them silently ate a piece of dried wolf meat. After resting for a while, they lit a campfire in the camp. Fila even made three torches out of grease.

As night fell, the howling of wolves echoed outside the camp once more.

"Open the door!"

Li Wei and Penny worked together to remove the obstacles at the entrance of the camp wall. At the same time, Fila lit torches, sticking two of them into the wall at the entrance and holding the remaining one herself.

“George, once the wolves appear, remember, you only have one chance to shoot an arrow.”

Penny whispered her instructions, a little worried.

Li Wei didn't speak, but remained silent, breathing deeply and calmly, in a better state than Penny had expected.

After removing most of the obstacles, the three immediately retreated a distance. The remaining obstacles were no longer enough to stop the wolves from jumping in. That's right, they had to jump in.

At this moment, Li Wei stood still ten meters away, holding his hunting bow, nocking the last feathered wolf-tooth arrow, and waiting quietly.

The howling of wolves continued outside the camp, but they seemed unaware of the gap, as the howling continued from the southeast.

"I'll go lure it!"

Penny, however, was quite bold at this moment, and grabbed her woodcutter's axe, ready to charge forward.

"Wait, be careful, this might be a trap!"

Li Wei quickly reminded him that the black wolf was very good at using feints and diversions, and it had already succeeded twice.

Penny glanced back at Li Wei, her eyes lowered, and said calmly, "I know, but in this situation, someone has to be the bait."

After saying that, she jumped onto the obstacle and yelled twice at the darkness outside the camp.

The wolf howls from the southeast of the camp stopped abruptly, as if they were charging towards them.

Penny immediately turned around, ready to jump back, but in the instant she turned around, a dark shadow suddenly appeared out of nowhere and pounced on Penny with lightning speed.

How insidious! How cunning!
When did this black wolf sneak in?

At this critical moment, a wolf-tooth arrow shot out and struck the dark figure, though it was unclear from which spot. The dark figure, however, did not change its momentum and still managed to knock Penny down by its inertia.

It all happened so fast.

After firing the arrow, Li Wei abandoned his hunting bow, quickly bent down to pick up the wooden spear, and simultaneously charged forward. His series of movements were as fast as the wind and as smooth as flowing water, almost at his peak. He was expected to reach Penny's side and kill the black wolf in just two seconds.

That's right, it's that black wolf, the leader of the pack.
