Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 20 The Wolf King's Demise (Please continue reading)

Within the territory, chaos reigned, blood flowed like rivers, and the carcasses of livestock, people, and even more so, wolves lay strewn across the land.

Li Wei suppressed his sorrow for the frost, his face grave.

"Give the dead a proper burial, send the wounded to Dr. George, send the remaining beef, mutton and wolf meat to my castle, skin the wolves and sell the pelts to the fur traders. Next, I will eradicate the threat that is lurking around our territory."

Li Wei said to the old butler, Alford.

"Yes, my lord." The steward was still in shock; the experience had been too terrifying.

Those bloodthirsty and terrifying wolf packs appeared in droves.

This teenage lord, however, could hunt and roam freely and calmly among these wolves.

This inevitably reminded him of the cold and stern Black Serpent Knight, Baron Soder.

"He's becoming more and more like the master," the butler Alford muttered to himself, before hurrying off to do his work.

Livy and Sir Fred returned to the castle.

"Sir Fred, let these three smell the wolf king's blood on your sword." Li Wei led Sir Fred into the courtyard, where three juvenile Northern Bears, each the size of a Siberian tiger, were playing.

"Little White, Little Gray, Little Fatty, come here."

Li Wei gave a signal, and the three little bears immediately came running over, wagging their tails.

Over the past year, Li Wei's expenses have been increasing to feed these three bears. Although he and Sir Fred can eat a lot, they are nothing compared to these guys who eat at least a dozen kilograms of meat a day.

And these three are still just juveniles. Once they become adults, they will need to eat nearly 100 kilograms of meat a day, otherwise they will not be able to support the consumption of their huge bodies.

Raising a bear for a thousand days, using a bear for only one moment.

Li Wei's keeping of these three gluttons wasn't just for petting bears. In this era of scarcity, such a luxurious hobby and idea could only be realized in dreams.

"Hoo hoo." The three little bears saw Li Wei and immediately pounced on him happily, standing up on their own. Then, Sir Fred let all three of them smell the wolf king's blood on his knight's sword.

After a year of training, with the help of [Wild Heart], Li Wei was able to clearly perceive the thoughts of the three little bears.

At that moment, upon smelling the blood, the three bear cubs immediately became agitated.

Li Wei immediately sensed what the three little bears were thinking.

"You're saying this guy killed your three brothers' mother?"

Li Wei asked.

Because all three were male bears, Li Wei habitually referred to them as the three brothers when communicating with them.

The three brothers nodded, rubbing their hands together, eager to try.

They are far from being adults yet.

But ordinary mountain wolves are no match for them at all.

"Alright, now take me to find it."

"Today, I avenge your mothers, my residents, and my soldiers."

Li Wei said coldly.

"I injured the wolf king's hind leg with my Ripple power, making it difficult for it to move. It certainly won't go far, and its strength has decreased. Now is indeed the best opportunity to strike while it's down. Once the wolf king recovers, it will be much more difficult to hunt it down again."

"Sir Fred said."

"Then I'll trouble you, Lord Fred, to take ten of your strongest soldiers and we'll head into the mountains... to hunt wolves."

After arranging the aftermath of the wolf attack, Li Wei and the others followed the three brothers up the mountain.

The wolf king was bleeding because of an injury to its hind leg.

This made it easier for the three brothers to follow the wolf king's scent.

From the wolf king's route, Li Wei could tell that the wolf king was extremely intelligent, constantly trying to take detours, and several times, Li Wei and his companions ended up in a dead end.

However, thanks to Li Wei's maxed-out hunting skills and the three brothers' powerful sense of smell, Li Wei and his companions eventually managed to find the wolf king's lair in Black Mountain after much effort.

On a giant rock, the enormous wolf king was frantically tearing apart a corpse—the carcass of a mountain wolf.

It was feeding on its own kind when it sensed Li Wei and his companions approaching. It stopped, let out a howl, and dozens of mountain wolves began to gather around it from all directions.

The wolf king's eyes were bloodshot, and it stared at Li Wei and his group with extreme ferocity. It noticed the three bear cubs first, and it was right that the human had taken in the three bear cubs.

"What a beautiful creature, it's a pity you're going to die."

Li Wei looked at the Wolf King and sighed softly. Then he drew his bow and nocked an arrow, which pierced through the void!

boom!

A mountain wolf stood in front of the wounded wolf king, was shot by an arrow, and died instantly.

The wolf king stared at Li Wei with terrifying, cold eyes.

Li Wei felt as if he were facing a human being, not an animal.

With the wolf king's command, the already wounded wolf pack pounced on Li Wei and his companions once again.

"Sir Fred, you go and hold off the wolf king, I'll deal with the other wolves."

After saying that, Sir Fred charged forward. The Wolf King stood up, staggered, and it was clear that the injury to his hind leg made even this king unable to stand steadily.

An ordinary knight might not have been able to injure the thick-skinned wolf king so severely with that sword strike, but the Ripple Force of Knight Fred shattered the wolf king's leg bones from the inside out.

This revenge battle went very smoothly.

Before long, Li Wei had hunted down all the mountain wolves at the cost of only four wounded soldiers. This time he was well prepared and brought a lot of iron arrows. As long as the soldiers created opportunities for him to attack, he could kill them all.

In this battle, the three brothers also demonstrated their terrifying strength as northern giant bears for the first time. At only two years old, they were already able to hunt down mountain wolves.

Meanwhile, the battle on Fred Knight's side was also coming to an end, as the wounded Wolf King was ultimately no match for Fred Knight.

In addition, Li Wei kept ambushing the wolf king and shooting it with arrows.

In the end, Knight Fred used his most powerful move, the Ripple Cross Slash!

In a daze, Li Wei even saw ripples appear in the air after this strike.

Then, the wolf king's enormous head fell to the ground. Until the moment of its death, the wolf king's cold eyes remained fixed on Li Wei, a feeling that sent chills down one's spine.

"Heh, what are you looking at?" Li Wei stepped on the wolf king's head.

"Such a fine wolf pelt, sold to those great nobles, would be worth at least five gold coins."

Li Wei ordered his men to start skinning the animals; this was all money, and they couldn't afford to waste it.

"Great! Those damned beasts killed several of our comrades. Now we've finally gotten our revenge."

"Tie all these bodies to the sleds and pull them down the mountain."

Li Wei commanded that these wolf pelts and meat could salvage some of his losses.

At the same time, the chubby one of the three brothers suddenly ran to Li Wei's side, nuzzled him with his head, and growled softly.

Li Wei understood.

While exploring the wolf king's lair, Little Fatty discovered a cave containing a strange human skeleton.
