Chapter 306: Chapter 303: Lucky Baby

Feng Hao’s vigilance proved to be justified.

No sooner had Xi Yueyao spoken than countless howls echoed from all directions, closing in on them. A moment later, over a hundred gray-and-black wolves had them surrounded, their bloodthirsty eyes locked on the pair.

"Damn, a wolf pack right off the bat? Does it have to be this exciting?" Feng Hao said, exasperated.

The girl blinked, pointing at the larger wolf leading the pack. She covered her mouth and gasped, "Look! That puppy is so cute."

"That’s a wolf, you know," Feng Hao said, completely speechless.

The Wolf King had clearly heard Xi Yueyao. A Spirit Beast of its level could naturally understand human speech.

To be mistaken for a dog and, to add insult to injury, be called "cute"—how could the king of the wolves possibly stand for that?

It threw back its head and let out a long howl, its kingly aura flaring out in an instant. As if on command, the surrounding pack howled and charged.

"These puppies are so naughty, daring to bite people. My Miaomiao is much more obedient," Xi Yueyao said with a pout.

Feng Hao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. "Don’t just stand there, kid. Get ready to fight."

"Oh," Xi Yueyao replied softly. She swung her long whip in a wild arc, and with a series of sharp CRACKS, a large swath of nearby trees toppled over.

Feng Hao snapped out of it with a faint smile. A light flickered in his Crystal Eye as he quickly locked onto the gray-and-white-furred Wolf King.

[Hasi Jungle Wolf Leader] (Taishi Spirit Beast)

Level: 28-Star

Qi Blood: 217,500

Vitality: 302

Strength: 1,443

Defense: 2,250

Speed: 1,408

Claw/Fang Damage: 284

Fur Protection: 45 (Dark Force Protection: 25)

’For real? A husky?’ Feng Hao grumbled to himself. With twin daggers in hand, he charged straight for the Hasi Jungle Wolf Leader.

He had to admit, the Spirit Beasts in the Fourth Secret Realm were incredibly strong. That much was clear from its stats alone, especially its Qi Blood, which was incomparable to the beasts from the Triple Secret Realm.

"AWOOO~!"

Seeing Feng Hao charge at it, the Hasi Jungle Wolf Leader howled and pounced forward arrogantly to meet him.

As leader of the pack, its authority could not be challenged. As it lunged, a crimson energy flared from its sharp claws. Anything that energy touched, whether tree trunk or solid rock, would be torn to shreds.

Unfortunately for the wolf, with Feng Hao’s skill and footwork, there was no way it could ever land a claw on him.

"Come on, come on. I’ve got a nice little leash for you right here," Feng Hao grinned, effortlessly dodging the Hasi Jungle Wolf Leader’s lunge. He flicked his wrist, sending the Poisonous Chain flying out.

Guided by both his Divine Sense and his magic soul, the dark green chain seemed to have a life of its own as it snaked through the air and coiled around the Hasi Jungle Wolf Leader.

The chain’s inherent poison immediately began to seep into the Wolf King’s body, eating away at its Qi Blood.

However, the Wolf King’s vitality was a staggering 302, so the poison’s toxicity of 180 had little effect. Moreover, as the Hasi Jungle Wolf Leader struggled, Feng Hao’s Magic Power was being drained at a frantic rate.

’So, maintaining the restraint consumes Magic Power, just as I thought,’ Feng Hao sighed inwardly. He had already expected this.

Thus, Feng Hao wasted no more time. He yanked the Wolf King toward him and simultaneously rushed forward with Rapid Shadow Slash.

PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!

Rapid Shadow Slash struck the Hasi Jungle Wolf Leader in mid-air. It was immediately followed by a magnificent combo surging with dark light—Dark Moon Carnage and Moon Wheel Dance, their shadows intertwining—before finishing with Moon Thorn.

By the time the Hasi Jungle Wolf Leader hit the ground, it had less than sixty thousand Qi Blood left.

Meanwhile, Xi Yueyao had already scattered the wolf pack. From a distance, it looked as though she were herding sheep.

"Where do you think you’re going, stupid mutt? Take this!" Xi Yueyao shouted as she fought, clearly having the time of her life.

It couldn’t be helped. After the "grafting" from Feng Hao, the girl’s power was absolutely terrifying. Her Dark Force damage, in particular, while not on his level, was certainly greater than that of most Dark Force Mages.

And that wasn’t all; besides her Dark Force damage, Xi Yueyao’s physical strength was nothing to scoff at either.

Faced with the encircling pack, Xi Yueyao could wipe them out with a single move, Frenzied Dance Strangulation. The poor jungle wolves couldn’t withstand her damage at all, and more than half of them were killed before they knew what hit them.

By the time the hundred-some jungle wolves had fallen, so too had their leader.

The pitiful Hasi Jungle Wolf Leader let out a final, mournful howl and collapsed, only to be hoisted up and left dangling from a tree branch by the Poisonous Chain.

"Tsk, tsk. The more I look at it, the more it resembles a husky," Feng Hao joked. His Su Mu Daggers went to work, and he easily dug out the Primordial Essence. ’I wonder what its stats are like.’

As he spoke, he channeled his Divine Sense through his Crystal Eye to inspect the Primordial Essence in his hand.

[Primordial Essence]

Quality: High-grade

Qi Blood Bonus: 6,800

Defense Bonus: 428

Attack Speed Bonus: 122

"Tch, pretty average stats! And here I thought you were a boss. Turns out you’re just a regular old husky," Feng Hao said, his eyes filled with disappointment.

After finishing off the wolf pack, Xi Yueyao came skipping over. "Didn’t you say the Fourth Secret Realm was supposed to be dangerous? This feels pretty easy to me."

"Er, I guess it is a little easy," Feng Hao chuckled, at a loss for words.

To other Mages, that wolf pack might have been a serious threat. But for them, it was a walk in the park.

Xi Yueyao blinked and suggested, "Why don’t we go try the Fifth Secret Realm?"

"Alright," Feng Hao agreed with a soft laugh, his eyes sweeping over the area. "There are enough jungle wolf corpses here for us to condense our Tai Shi Power. But before we head to the Fifth Secret Realm, we should find a Listening Stone first."

Speaking of the Listening Stone, he couldn’t help but sigh. "These Listening Stones aren’t easy to find, you know. It took your husband here a very long time to find one back then."

The words had barely left his lips when Xi Yueyao suddenly jogged a short distance away. She bent down, picked up a perfectly round stone, and said with a slight pout, "You mean this? It wasn’t that hard to find."

"..." Feng Hao’s expression froze on his face. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

’Holy crap, I almost forgot. This girl and Xiyue Frost must be the illegitimate daughters of the Goddess of Fortune. Their luck is just off the charts.’

’If I remember correctly, I only found a Listening Stone last time because I was teamed up with Xiyue Frost. I never expected this girl’s luck to be even more ridiculous than her sister’s. Finding a Listening Stone the moment she entered the Secret Realm... she’s practically a walking good luck charm.’

’They say comparisons are cruel. Faced with the girl’s ridiculous luck, Feng Hao felt completely inadequate.’

"Ahem. Well, in that case, let’s get ready and head straight to the Fifth Secret Realm," Feng Hao said, the corner of his mouth twitching.

"Okay!" Xi Yueyao nodded obediently and began to refine the Listening Stone in her hand.

Feng Hao shook his head with a wry smile and began absorbing the vital essence from the Hasi Jungle Wolf Leader’s corpse. He soon condensed the Fourth-level Tai Shi Power in his sea of consciousness.

Meanwhile, after refining the Listening Stone, Xi Yueyao also quickly condensed her Fourth-level Tai Shi Power. Then, she and Feng Hao exchanged Spiritual Marks.

It was the girl’s first time using Stone Listening Communication, and she was exceptionally excited. Though they were standing right next to each other, she insisted on using the Listening Stone to talk, leaving Feng Hao exasperated.

"Alright, alright. Let’s get ready to go to the Fifth Secret Realm," Feng Hao said, his patience wearing thin.
