Gao Wu Da Ming: Starting as a military household and ascending to the rank of Martial Saint
Chapter 10 An Unexpected Gain
While the entire hunter team was in despair, Yu Shaowu's mindset remained unaffected.
He sat cross-legged on a low tree, his gaze calmly fixed on the alpha wolf in front of the pit, searching for any opportunity to shoot it down.
Judging from his extraordinary observational skills, the alpha wolf before him, though enormous, was still made of flesh and blood. Otherwise, no one would have specifically worn armor over its heart and throat.
When the Zhenhai Xuntian Bow is fully drawn, the pulling force is a full 800 jin. With its ability to shoot an arrow through a willow leaf from a hundred paces, it might be able to kill the giant beast in front of it with a single shot.
However, Yu Shaowu did not act rashly.
Judging from the alpha wolf's light gait, its enormous size did not seem to affect its agility. If the arrow missed, given the alpha wolf's cunning nature, it would surely flee to the rear and command its offspring to devour the hunters.
With so many gray wolves swarming at you, even if you're incredibly accurate, it's unlikely you'll survive.
Therefore, Yu Shaowu waited silently, waiting for the opportunity to strike a fatal blow.
At this moment, the beast did not easily enter the pit. In fact, if it wanted to, it could have easily leaped over the pit and killed all the hunters behind it.
Yu Shaowu guessed that the reason it hadn't acted yet was twofold: firstly, it was enjoying the thrill of teasing its prey, and secondly, the wolf's cunning nature made it cautious and unwilling to take risks easily.
However, under Ji Shouyi's constant provocations, the alpha wolf was clearly getting impatient. Its eyes grew increasingly fierce, and its small steps became more frequent. The oppressive aura emanating from this attack sent chills down one's spine, even from a hundred paces away.
But Ji Shouyi knew he was doomed and was no longer afraid. He pointed his knife at the alpha wolf, constantly provoking and cursing, from the prefect Hu Nan to the imperial court, as if he wanted to vent all his resentment.
As Ji Shouyi was hysterically laughing wildly, the alpha wolf finally made its move. It pushed off with its legs, and its massive body soared into the air.
In an instant, the giant wolf's body, like a small mountain, blotted out the sky and crashed towards Ji Shouyi's location. Before the wolf even arrived, a thick, foul wind, carrying the aura of death, swept over the hunters.
By now, these hunters were risking their lives. But faced with the sudden attack of such a behemoth, they ultimately lacked the courage to confront it and began to scatter and flee.
Yu Shaowu had been waiting for this moment. He took a breath, nocked an arrow, and drew the bowstring taut in one go.
With a whoosh, a long, barbed arrow flew out with lightning speed, hurtling towards the giant wolf.
The bow is fully drawn, like a full moon; the long arrow cleaves the sky.
After firing that arrow, Yu Shaowu continued to draw his bow, nock arrows, and fire them in rapid succession. With his uninterrupted movements, these barbed arrows rained down on the alpha wolf like a machine gun.
The alpha wolf instinctively sensed a tremendous threat and began frantically waving its two front paws. But it was still in mid-air, and no matter how fiercely it swung its paws, how could it gain any strength?
With a soft "plop," the first arrow pierced its left eye, splattering a large pool of blood.
The alpha wolf let out a bloodcurdling howl that shook the mountains. Before it even hit the ground, a second arrow had already pierced its right eye.
Then, the third, the fourth... each one shot towards the alpha wolf's eyes. A torrent of blood gushed from its eye sockets, splattering into the air like a rain of blood.
The hunters near the pit were stunned by what they saw. They never imagined that, with both feet already on the brink of death, someone would actually pull them out.
As the rain of blood fell, the alpha wolf's body crashed heavily to the ground. The crowd scrambled for cover, the stench of blood splattering them from head to toe, making them look utterly disheveled. But their near-death experience filled them with ecstatic joy; they cared little for the stench.
"Who was this extraordinary person who saved us?"
"Thank God, we can go home safely!"
"Thank you, heavens! You should thank a wise man!"
"..."
The crowd cheered, their faces beaming with the joy of rebirth.
After its decline, the giant wolf did not struggle much. Its eyes were filled with arrows, some of which had penetrated deep into its brainstem.
The impact of an 800-pound bow, even at a distance of 100 meters, still has enormous destructive power, which cannot be withstood by mere flesh and blood.
Blood flowed continuously from its eyes, quickly staining the surrounding land red. The wolf king lay in a pool of blood, panting heavily, its tongue lolling out on the ground; it was clear it was nearing its end.
Ji Shouyi, still shaken, turned around and looked at the high slope where Yu Shaowu was, shouting, "Whose handiwork was this?"
After a brief wait, Lin Li's voice, filled with surprise and excitement, rang out: "It's Young Master Yu! Senior Brother! It was Young Master Yu who shot the arrow!"
Upon hearing this name, a buzz of sound erupted around them. Both Ji Shouyi and He Huan were stunned for a moment.
Especially He Huan, who knew Yu Shaowu's background best. He never expected that this young master would be so powerful.
But Yu Shaowu did not respond. He nocked the Zhenhai Bow again and stared at the pack of wolves in the distance.
The killing of the wolf king does not mean they are safe, after all, there are still many wolves behind the wolf king.
When these wolves charge, one person simply cannot withstand them. After all, one only has so many arrows; even if every shot hits its mark, one can only kill a dozen or so wolves.
He killed the wolf king with overwhelming force to intimidate the pack. If the wolves were determined to avenge their leader, they still wouldn't be able to safely descend the mountain today.
Fortunately, when the alpha wolf fell dead, the pack seemed to be terrified and retreated a considerable distance. Some wolves trembled and shook, clearly having lost their will to fight.
Humans fear wolves, and wolves fear humans. When faced with danger, all living things prioritize their own safety.
Standing next to Ji Shouyi, He Huan also noticed the wolves' hesitation and said to Ji Shouyi, "Brother Ji, these beasts are scared. Should we take this opportunity to launch a preemptive strike?"
Ji Shouyi said, "Of course, Young Master Yu has already taken care of the major part for us. Are we just going to stand by and do nothing?"
With that, he roared, "Brothers, the wolf king is dead, and the remaining wolf cubs are like frightened birds. Let's charge together and slaughter them all!"
With that, he raised his broadsword, circled the pit, and charged towards the pack of wolves. Reaching a gray wolf positioned at the front, he beheaded it with a single stroke.
Upon seeing Ji Shouyi's bravery, the crowd immediately cheered loudly. Yu Shaowu, watching from a distance, was also somewhat shocked.
To be a leader, one must indeed possess some exceptional qualities.
As Ji Shouyi slaughtered his way through the area, He Huan was the first to follow, and the others picked up the large swords they had dropped in fright and charged towards the pack of wolves with the two of them.
As experienced hunters, they knew that although the pack of wolves in front of them was large, they were too terrified to launch a collective attack.
As long as their thoughts and actions are not unified, humanity will remain invincible.
Sure enough, when the wolves saw the humans charging towards them, they did not fight back, but instead tucked their tails between their legs and fled in a panic, like dogs with their tails between their legs.
With the wolf king dead and the pack leaderless, their escape routes were completely haphazard.
Now the hunters were even more confident in their pursuit, and even the archers on the high slope picked up their weapons and went after the moving silver.
Only Yu Shaowu didn't give chase; he had a good understanding of his own strength. Given the wolves' escape speed, if he went now, he probably wouldn't even get a sip of soup.
However, he didn't stay idle. He jumped down from the tree, went around the wall of fire, and came to the giant wolf's corpse. He slowly squatted down and stroked the armor on its body.
Although he had not served in the military before, he had grown up in an official family and still had some respect for them.
If he wasn't mistaken, this armor was made of a material called black gold armor, which contained vital energy, and only high-ranking generals of the imperial court had the authority to use it. He had seen such a thing on his uncle, Yu Zigao.
But now, materials under the control of the imperial court have actually appeared on a wild beast living deep in the mountains, which is quite a strange thing.
Could these wolves have some connection with officials of the Ming Dynasty?
He sensed that the water here was very deep, and before he could think about it, several lines of information suddenly appeared in his mind:
[Black Wolf Armor]
【Green Quality】
[Equipment Effect: Bloodthirst Heals Wounds, Blood Boiling Power]
[Note: When blood stains the black armor, it temporarily arouses its ferocity, generates vital energy, rapidly heals injuries, and increases both strength and agility.]
[Equipped?]
