Chapter 24 – You have brains, but not much
"Roar!"
The Wolf King let out a fierce roar, and the dozen or so giant wolves around it charged forward.
Chu Xuan remained motionless, casually saying, "Leave the stronger ones for me, kill the rest."
Little Dragon, Little Tiger, and the six Yin Corpses instantly received the command.
A violent gleam flashed in their eyes as they swiftly leaped out.
In just a moment, the wolf pack was defeated.
After all, most of them weren't transcendent animals.
But the Yin Corpses refined by Chu Xuan truly possessed innate spells.
And their realms were not low.
The weakest Yin Corpse, with an innate spell of self-detonation, was at least at the level of a Level 3 Corpse Soldier.
Plus, with Little Dragon and Little Tiger, dealing with the wolf pack was a piece of cake.
In the blink of an eye, the whimpers of the giant wolves echoed.
Chu Xuan glanced over casually.
He saw that the weaker giant wolves had already been killed.
The four giant wolves, which were Level 1 Transcendent animals, had their limbs broken and were thrown to the ground.
Little Dragon and Little Tiger immediately flanked the Wolf King from behind, forming a pincer attack.
The Wolf King was dumbfounded.
The situation had changed too quickly.@@novelbin@@
It thought it had the advantage.
Unexpectedly, in an instant, it went from being the hunter to the hunted.
"Roar!"
The Wolf King roared angrily, kicked the ground, and lunged directly at Chu Xuan.
It had encountered transcendents in Shuanglong City who were skilled at controlling transcendent animals, but without exception, those transcendents were physically weak.
So, it ignored Little Dragon, Little Tiger, and the Yin Corpses, charging straight at Chu Xuan.
In its view, as long as it killed this human quickly, it could break through the encirclement.
With its speed, those Yin Corpses would definitely struggle to catch up.
After all, how could two legs compete with four in terms of speed?
"You have brains, but not much."
Chu Xuan smiled faintly.
This Wolf King had clearly figured out that he was the controller of those Yin Corpses.
As long as it dealt with him, the Yin Corpses would collapse on their own.
Unfortunately, he wasn't one of those weak summoners from novels.
Where the summoned beasts were ridiculously strong, and the summoner was pathetically weak.
If he didn't have enough strength, how could he control Yin Corpses like Little Dragon and Little Tiger?
Chu Xuan remained standing, unmoved.
He could already see the Wolf King's sharp fangs, the drooling saliva, and the foul stench coming at him.
Whoosh!
A streak of blood flashed by.
At that moment, it was as if a giant club had struck the Wolf King's head.
They say wolves have copper heads, iron bones, and tofu waists.
The most vulnerable part is the waist.
The hardest part is the head.
But if the force is strong enough, even a blow to the head can knock the wolf out.
Bang.
In an instant, the Wolf King was knocked out, losing consciousness on the spot.
The battle ended before it even began.
Little Dragon watched everything, immediately curbing its thoughts, not daring to have any disrespectful ideas.
"Carry them back."
Chu Xuan said casually.
Roar!
The Yin Corpses roared in unison.
They hoisted the wolf carcasses and the unconscious giant wolves onto their shoulders, following behind Chu Xuan.
Every now and then, they would sneak a lick on the wolf carcasses.
It was like sneaking candy behind their parents' backs.
On the way back to Haotai Hotel, Chu Xuan didn't ride his flying sword.
After all, with so many Yin Corpses following, it was impossible to take them on a flying sword.
"This time, when I return to Cangxuan Continent, if there's a chance, I need to get a new flying spiritual artifact."
"Preferably a top-grade flying spiritual artifact."
Chu Xuan made a mental note of this, striding back with confidence.
With his group's strength, they could stroll through the city without worrying about zombie attacks.
Well, perhaps the zombies should be the ones worried.
After all, in Chu Xuan's eyes, every zombie was a source of Blood Pearls.
If any enthusiastic zombies came his way, Chu Xuan would surely thank them with tears of gratitude.
...
At three in the afternoon.
At the border between East Lake City and Shuanglong City.
A Wuling Divine Car drove in from afar, stopping where a pickup truck had broken down.
Wang Gangjian, Wang Yong, Song Dayi, and Zhuang Qiang got out of the car.
The injured Zhuang Qiang was protected in the center by the other three.
All four were extremely vigilant.
Zhuang Qiang looked at the pickup truck, a look of grief on his face.
"My five comrades all died here."
"I watched helplessly as they were dragged away by the wolf pack."
"Those damn beasts, I swear I'll skin them myself!"
Wang Gangjian sighed lightly.
Before the zombie crisis, he had served in the Linjiang Army for several years, reaching the rank of squad leader, overseeing ten soldiers.
He could feel Zhuang Qiang's inner resentment.
Watching comrades, with whom he laughed and fought daily, get killed.
That feeling was unbearable for most people.
"Take me to the edge of the woods, I can see if there are any of those creatures around."
Zhuang Qiang took a deep breath, speaking earnestly.
The three nodded, escorting him to the forest edge.

Zhuang Qiang placed his hand on the surface of a tree, closing his eyes.
He could only communicate with one tree.
Branches, leaves, roots, they became his eyes and ears.
He could sense the tree's memories.
In fertile soil and humid climates, a tree's roots and canopy are almost equal in size.
Meaning, the canopy's size is mirrored by the roots.
So, within the roots' coverage, he could clearly perceive all movements through the tree.
"I hear heavy breathing, a lot of it! It's the wolf pack!"
"But not now, it was a few hours ago, around noon."
"I also heard zombie roars, intense fighting, the battle ended quickly... I heard the dying whimpers of the giant wolves!"
"And, human voices!"
Zhuang Qiang's talent only lasted three minutes.
But he was already drenched in sweat.
His front and back soaked.
Wang Gangjian and the others were stunned, "You mean there was a battle a few hours ago?"
Wang Yong continued, "A battle between humans and the wolf pack?"
Zhuang Qiang nodded, "I can confirm, it was a battle between humans and the wolf pack, with zombies mixed in."
"The wolf pack likely suffered heavy losses."
Wang Gangjian and the others exchanged glances, surprised.
Someone actually took on this wolf pack and won!
"The leading Wolf King is a Level 2 Transcendent animal, right? Is there a Level 2 Extraordinary Being in East Lake City who can take on the Wolf King?"
Wang Gangjian scratched his buzz cut, bewildered.
I've been in East Lake City for years, how come I didn't know?
"The wolf pack suffered heavy losses, they probably won't hunt, let's search nearby, we should find the battle site."
Wang Yong said seriously.
"Alright, let's spread out to search, but not too far apart, if there's danger, shout loudly."
Wang Gangjian nodded.
The four split into three groups.
Wang Gangjian and Wang Yong each took a group.
Song Dayi protected Zhuang Qiang in another group.
The four began their search.
Soon, they found the site of the battle.
"Oh my god..."
The four were stunned by the scene before them.
What do you think?
