In a perfect world, you start by relying on your own strength.

The valley is filled with jagged rocks, red dust covers the ground, and hot air churns through the forest.

A dozen or so young men dressed in rough animal skin clothing huddled together against the rocks, their faces tense and their eyes filled with fear.

Deep howls of wolves echoed all around, and agile fire wolves surrounded the group.

These ferocious beasts had fiery red fur, beneath which scorching air currents surged. Their sharp fangs gleamed coldly, their scarlet eyes were fixed on their prey, and saliva dripped from their mouths. Waves of hot and ferocious aura swept over you.

The encirclement continued to tighten, and the Fire Wolf lowered its body, bracing itself with its limbs on the ground, ready to pounce at any moment.

One of the youths gripped his polished stone spear tightly, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. Looking at the countless fire wolves swarming in all directions, he gritted his teeth and growled, "Damn it, how did so many fire wolves appear here?!"

The rest of the tribesmen were in a state of panic. They had gone into the mountains to hunt together, and had managed to deal with a few fire wolves they had encountered sporadically before. Now, surrounded by the tribe, their situation was extremely precarious.

A fire wolf leader, far larger than its kind, stood at the rear of the pack. Its massive head was slightly raised, and a deep, muffled growl came from its throat. Its crimson mane stood on end, and a fierce aura enveloped the entire valley.

A scorching, fishy wind swept through the valley, and the fire wolf leader raised his head and let out a sharp howl, the ear-piercing sound echoing through the mountains and forests.

As the howl subsided, the fire wolves surrounding them launched an attack in unison, their crimson figures surging towards the crowd like streaks of flame.

The wolf's claws swept across the ground, immediately stirring up gusts of hot air. The hard rocks were carved with deep and shallow grooves by the claws, and the scorching heat hit you in the face.

The dozen or so burly men turned pale and hurriedly gripped their stone spears and bone knives to defend themselves.

They were all ordinary tribespeople, without any powerful cultivation, relying solely on the experience they gained from hunting in the mountains to protect themselves.

The weapons struck the fire wolf's tough fur, only scattering sparks. Far from severely injuring the beasts, they only enraged them further.

Several cries of pain rang out in succession. Some people were unable to dodge in time and were struck on the arm by the fire wolf's sharp claws. Their clothes were torn instantly, and their flesh was exposed and bleeding. The scalding beast breath made it difficult for them to breathe.

"Hold on! Don't let them get separated!"

The leader gritted his teeth, forcefully swinging his stone spear to repel the fire wolves charging at him. Cold sweat mixed with dust slid down his forehead. "If we split up, none of us will escape!"

The group huddled together back-to-back in defense, but the fire wolves were numerous and attacked wave after wave relentlessly. Before long, many people were wounded, their strength was rapidly depleting, and the defensive line was on the verge of collapse.

The fire wolf leader coldly surveyed the battle, seeing his tribesmen closing in step by step. He let out a low growl, gathered strength in his limbs, and charged straight towards the center of the crowd with his thick body enveloped in rolling heat waves.

Flames flickered around it, clearly indicating that its strength far surpassed that of an ordinary fire wolf. The ferocity contained in this attack was enough to severely injure everyone.

The leader of the fire wolves swooped down, accompanied by a wave of heat, its sharp fangs gleaming coldly. It looked as if it was about to scatter and crush the crowd, and a sense of despair enveloped them.

Just at this critical moment, a cool and aloof figure gracefully descended from the cliff and forest.

A strong wind suddenly swept through the valley, and an invisible aura burst forth, forcibly blocking the violent heatwave.

The charging fire wolf leader suddenly stopped, its limbs gripping the ground tightly, cracking the hard rock. Its eyes flashed with ferocity, but it was suppressed by the sudden pressure and dared not advance rashly.

Shi Geng slowly stepped onto the ground, his calm gaze sweeping over the surrounding wolf pack. The once ferocious fire wolves seemed to have encountered their natural enemy, their crimson bodies trembling slightly. Their fierce attacks instantly ceased, and the howls of the wolves turned into soft whimpers.

The ordinary fire wolves sensed this overwhelming aura and instinctively retreated, causing the encirclement to loosen instantly.

"What... what's going on?" The tribe's youths stared blankly at the suddenly appearing Shi Gen, their faces full of astonishment. A child who suddenly appeared had actually frightened the fire wolf pack.

Enraged, the Fire Wolf leader roared furiously, its body engulfed in crimson flames. Abandoning the others, it turned and charged straight at Shi Geng. A scorching wind swept over them, and the surrounding vegetation was slightly curled by the heat.

Shi Geng remained completely calm, raising his hand and making a light wave. There were no complicated moves; he simply threw a punch from a distance.

Bang!

A dull, deafening roar suddenly erupted. The fire wolf leader's massive body didn't even get close enough to get a step before it was struck hard by the force. Its crimson body flew backward and crashed heavily onto the rocks, causing the ground to tremble violently.

It struggled several times to get up, but its body kept twitching, and the flames around it dimmed, losing all its ferocity.

Seeing their leader defeated in an instant, the remaining fire wolves were completely terrified and dared not linger any longer. They tucked their tails between their legs and fled in all directions, disappearing into the depths of the forest in a short while.

The noisy valley instantly returned to silence, leaving only a mess on the ground. The young men of the tribe put down their weapons and stared at the boy standing in the middle of the field, their faces full of disbelief.

The ferocious fire wolf leader from before couldn't even withstand a single move from the opponent; such formidable strength far exceeded their comprehension.

The group quickly regrouped, wiped their wounds, and the leader stepped forward, bowed to Shi Geng, his expression full of gratitude: "Thank you for saving us. If it weren't for your appearance, we would have been devoured by wolves."

The other clansmen also bowed and thanked him, looking at Shi Geng with awe.

Shi Geng nodded slightly, his expression indifferent, not taking the matter to heart. His gaze swept over the various wounds on the group's bodies, then looked at the rocks and vegetation damaged by claws around them, and asked, "Are you from a nearby tribe?"

The young man leading the group gave a wry smile and sighed, "We come from Qingshi Village at the foot of the mountain. Recently, our tribe has been short of supplies, so we went into the mountains together to look for prey. We never expected to accidentally enter a wolf pack's den and almost lost our lives."

As they spoke, Xiao Bai walked down from the forest with light steps. Its snow-white body was bathed in the sunlight, its single horn was crystal clear, and its figure was handsome and extraordinary. It had a peaceful and agile aura about it.

All eyes turned to Little White, their faces filled with astonishment, and they couldn't help but gasp in surprise. They recognized at a glance that this was an extremely rare unicorn from the Great Wilderness.

Unicorns are incredibly fast runners, capable of traveling thousands of miles a day. They are also proud and difficult to tame. In the vast wilderness, only the larger tribes have the ability to capture and tame them. Ordinary villages rarely even get to see one.

Everyone's gaze returned to Shi Geng's youthful face, and they couldn't help but speculate in their hearts.

Judging from his young age, his strength is formidable, and he possesses a divine mount like a unicorn. This young man must come from a powerful clan.

The crowd looked at Shi Geng with increasing respect, and several of them turned their gazes to the dying Fire Wolf leader, their eyes immediately filled with joy.
