Chapter 1787: Maple Leaf Wolf

"You?"

Wu Kuang frowned.

Although the current underground cavern no longer had the army of the alien race, there were still many aliens surviving inside. Since it was called an expedition, there would certainly be danger. If teammates were too weak, it would greatly affect the overall strength.

The two before him—the boy, needless to say, had a pale face, clearly showing severe injuries, and the young man also looked sickly, his strength not even reaching the Saint Domain. Taking these two along would definitely be a burden.

"I don't know why you want to enter the cavern in this condition, but I still advise you not to joke with your life!"

After a pause, Wu Kuang advised.

"We appreciate your kindness, Master Wu, but we have a reason to enter the cavern. We only need to follow behind you. As for the danger, we will bear it ourselves and will never implicate you all!"

Zhang Xuan said with a bitter smile.

The number one genius of humanity, a Golden Body realm Grand Perfection expert, was actually looked down upon by a Saint Domain realm four cultivator... Just thinking about it was disheartening.

"Very well!"

Wu Kuang said no more.

Life and death were up to them. He had said his piece, and if they insisted, if they encountered danger, they couldn't blame him and the others for standing by.

After all, no one had the obligation to save others.

"Courting death..."

"They must have never suffered a loss, not knowing what danger is!"

The others, seeing that these two still wanted to go, all showed disdain.

Without even Saint Domain strength, unable to fly, if they encountered danger, they wouldn't even have the ability to escape. What else was that but seeking death?

Without further ado, the group walked out of the old bell tower and headed toward the building ahead. After only a few steps, several war masters appeared, blocking the way.

"Seven Star Master Teacher, Wu Kuang. This is my pass." Wu Kuang approached.

A war master took the pass, examined it carefully, then nodded: "Go in. You have three days, and you must return within three days!"

"Don't worry!"

With a smile, Wu Kuang led the group inside.

Although the cavern was open, allowing ordinary master teachers and cultivators to enter, they still needed to prepare a pass in advance. Otherwise, those whose cultivation hadn't even reached the Saint Domain would be hard to control once inside.

The entrance to the cavern was sealed within the building. After walking for a while, they successfully entered.

As before, the blood moon hung high, and the entire world was filled with a killing aura.

"This is your first time here, so you need some time to adjust. Otherwise, it's easy for the killing aura to invade your spirit and form inner demons!"

Arriving at an open space, Wu Kuang did not continue forward but instructed.

The killing aura was extremely terrifying. Cultivators with insufficient mental fortitude could easily be invaded, causing irreversible psychological trauma.

Although these people were not weak in cultivation, being here for the first time, they needed some time to adjust before going deeper.

"We..."

Seeing that everyone was about to rest on the spot, Wu Chen looked over.

Although they were injured or had not recovered their cultivation, this level of killing aura was nothing to them. There was no need to waste time here with the others.

"Don't rush. In our current state, even if we're anxious to return, there's nothing we can do. Let's recover our strength as we go. At least it's safe here for now." Zhang Xuan said.

This Emperor Chen Yong had lived in a blood moon environment since childhood, so recovering here would be much faster than in the Master Teacher Continent.

Wu Chen nodded.

In this state, rushing over might lead to falling into the enemy's trap. Since the enemy was in the open and they were in the dark, it was better to take things step by step.

The others fell silent, each adapting to the killing aura. Zhang Xuan, meanwhile, sent his spirit into the folded space, extracted the treasures and spiritual energy stored there, and quietly channeled them into his acupoints, letting them seep into his body to be tempered into Heavenly Dao true energy.

Rebirth from a drop of blood could ensure a person would not die, but each time one was slain, it consumed a great deal of lifespan. For this very reason, although Zhang Hongtian was extremely powerful, he still fell before others.

Zhang Xuan ended his own life in the Master Teacher Hall, partly to give an account to the human race, and partly to enter the Spirit Race undetected and unnoticed, making it easier to act.

Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle!

Spiritual energy crazily poured into his body. As his true qi grew more and more vigorous, his strength quickly recovered.

Soon he reached the Saint Domain realm, then the first level, second level...

In less than half an hour, he had recovered to around the third level.

Rustle, rustle, rustle!

While he was striving to recover, a series of sounds rang in his ears. Zhang Xuan immediately opened his eyes and looked into the distance.

Wu Chen also frowned.

"What is it?"

Zhang Xuan did not know much about the environment of the Spirit Race, so he could only transmit his voice to ask.

"It's a Maple Leaf Wolf. It grows stronger by devouring the power of the Blood Moon. The wolf king has the strength of the Saint Domain fifth level, the Out-of-Body realm, and is extremely ferocious!"

Wu Chen said.

"Maple Leaf Wolf?"

Zhang Xuan nodded.

Although the ancient battlefield where the Spirit Race resided had a harsh environment, it also possessed countless spirit beasts and plants. He had never heard of this so-called Maple Leaf Wolf, but since it could make the dignified Chenyong Emperor call it ferocious, it should not be simple.

"Everyone be careful, something seems to be coming..."

As they were transmitting voices, Wu Kuang on the other side seemed to have noticed it too. He exclaimed and quickly stood up.

Swish!

As soon as his words ended, seven or eight wolves had already sealed off the surroundings, encircling everyone.

These wolves were entirely gray, except for a tuft of white hair on their foreheads, shaped like a maple leaf.

They were not many in number, but each carried a fierce aura, causing everyone to turn pale with fright.

"Don't resist. Be obedient and become our food... and we'll give you a quick death!"

A cold shout rang out, and then from behind the wolf pack, a snow-white wolf king walked out, its eyes red.

"Out-of-Body realm strength?"

His pupils contracted, and Wu Kuang's body stiffened.

The others also turned pale.

They never expected such bad luck.

Originally, they thought they would enter here, find suitable medicinal herbs and treasures, then turn back and make a fortune. They never dreamed that just after entering, before even adapting to the killing aura, they would encounter such a powerful sacred beast!

A Maple Leaf Wolf tempered by the killing aura was itself more ferocious than a master teacher of the same level, and now a wolf king had appeared...

Could it be that they had just arrived and would fall here?

"Prepare for a tough battle..."

Taking a deep breath, his eyes narrowed. Wu Kuang flipped his wrist, and a long sword appeared in his palm. He suddenly raised it and stabbed toward the wolf king.

The only chance to survive now was to find a way to kill it. Once this creature died, the other Maple Leaf Wolves would no longer be a threat.

"Awoo!"

Seeing this human target him as soon as he made a move, the wolf king sneered, a look of deep contempt in its eyes. It raised its hoof and struck forward.

Swish!

The killing aura surged wildly, and a fierce bloody aura swept through. Before Wu Kuang could react, he was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

A seven-star peak master teacher was not even a match for a single blow!
