Chapter 121: Phantom Wolf

  Coax

  The sword's shadow danced up and down, its cold light intimidating the heart. As the mournful howls echoed, Xia Yan gradually ventured deeper into the beast gathering grounds. Along the way, Xia Yan had already slain over a dozen beasts. The long sword in his hand was stained with crimson blood.

  "If this goes on, my internal energy will also be exhausted." With a concentrated gaze, Xia Yan flashed into a wooden house in the wilderness, holding his breath while perking up his ears to listen for sounds outside.

  The internal force circulated in the body for a week, recovering some of the internal force that was just consumed. Xia Yan slightly furrowed his brow, and now he didn't know the exact location of the phantom wolf. He could only walk and search while walking. And this piece, at least there were more than 100 wild beasts. If he continued to search like this, by the time Xia Yan found the Jade Wolf, his internal force would be almost exhausted.

  "Hiss"

  At this time, it seemed like a wild beast rubbed its nose against the door several times.

  Xia Yan's eyes narrowed, and the long sword in his hand suddenly surged with internal energy, his gaze fixed on the direction of the wooden door.

  The faint rustling sound grew farther and farther away, apparently the beast had not discovered Xia Yan in the wooden house. It's gone. Xia Yan didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he no longer heard any sounds.

  "How can I quickly find the Phantom Wolf?" Xia Yan thought deeply, his eyebrows furrowed together. On his white shirt were a few spots of crimson blood, which he had accidentally stained while killing the beast just now.

  A loud crash!

  The wooden door was smashed violently like tofu, and wood chips flew everywhere.

  Summer words condition reflexively, one foot stepped out, the long sword in hand instantly stabbed out, bringing a fierce whirlwind. This sword, fully infused with inner energy, even if it were a hard steel plate, would be pierced through transparent holes.

  "It's a giant wild boar!" Xia Yan's eyes changed, and he saw that the one who had burst through the wooden door was a huge gray wild boar with bristles on its head standing upright like sharp thorns.

  The wild boar, after entering, also saw Xia Yan in the room. With a fierce force, its four hooves kicked against the ground and its body charged at Xia Yan like a huge boulder again. Perhaps it thought Xia Yan would be smashed to pieces like this wooden door. The protruding tusked mouth let out a shocking and terrifying howl at the same time.

  "Hmph, looking for death!" Xia Yanlun hummed. The long sword transformed into a strange spirit snake, accurately stabbing into the wild boar's open mouth with lightning-fast speed. Instantly, blood gushed out.

  "Crack"

  "After the wild boar's mouth was pierced, it didn't die but instead bit down hard on Xia Yan's hand that held the long sword with its sharp teeth, making a cracking sound."

  Xia Yan's strength surged, and he quickly drew his sword out, stabbing it into the wild boar's head once again. This time, the wild boar let out a mournful cry, its body shaking several times before finally collapsing to the ground, dead.

  After seeing the wild boar, Xia Yan also felt a hint of horror in her heart. The body of this wild boar was actually three meters long, its huge body could even allow people to sit on it safely.

  "Wah wah"

  Before Xia Yan could put away his long sword, a wild beast's howl echoed from afar, this sound...

  Xia Yan's eyes lit up!

  "This howl, it must be the Phantom Wolf!" After carefully identifying the direction, Xia Yan's foot kicked off, and his body instantly leapt ten meters away. Then, Xia Yan's body transformed into a whirlwind, rapidly sprinting towards the direction of the sharp wolf howls in large strides.

  Behind a small hill, a wild beast with eyes glowing green was baring its teeth and occasionally raising its head to let out a long howl.

  Around it, several wild beasts excitedly bumped their heads against the trunks of large trees.

  Rumbling

  This howling beast does not have a body that inspires fear, on the contrary, its body appears slightly smaller and is shaped very much like a mongrel dog. Its black fur has a circular patch of white fur on its head.

  The thin dog of Jiang's family, even a common village dog looks much sturdier than it. However, as it sits on a round rock at the moment, it has an air of looking down on other wild beasts.

  When it howls, other beasts all quietly look up at this wild beast that resembles a mongrel.

  "Hmm?" Xia Yan's gaze was fixed, he felt that he had seen the Phantom Wolf. Looking at its appearance, this wild beast that looked like a mongrel seemed to be the incredibly formidable Phantom Wolf of legend.

  But...

  Xia Yan couldn't help but feel suspicious, Phantom Wolf. Could it be that this thing that looks like a mud dog is actually...?

  Apart from its greenish eyes, Xia Yan really couldn't find any difference between it and the stray dogs running all over the streets.

  At this time, a wild beast resembling a local dog lazily left the round stone, shook its black fur several times, and scanned around with its narrowed eyes, seemingly very satisfied with its own majesty.

  The butt wiggled a few times, the paws lightly scraped against the ground a few times, and it stretched out a lazy waist in a very human-like manner.

  Seeing this scene, Xia Yan's eyes almost popped out, is there really such a beast?

  "It seems that this is indeed the Phantom Wolf, a beast with some wisdom. However, it's not a spiritual beast. If it were, I wouldn't be its match even with my current strength." Xia Yan thought to himself as he slowly crouched down, circulating his internal energy and preparing to dash out and kill the Phantom Wolf.

  It seems to have felt that the atmosphere was a bit off, and the local dog looked around nervously, but Xia Yan hid behind a low mound.

  Cow

  The dog's nose twitched and its eyelids blinked a few times. If you just look at this dog's face, it really looks like a human being.

  That blinking and frowning action is exactly the same as humans.

  Then, the local dog began to slowly back away, it had smelled a dangerous aura.

  Just then, Xia Yan's body suddenly darted out from the mountain pass, his long sword thrust straight forward, making a whistling sound, and rushed towards the earth dog with incredible speed.

  The dog saw Xia Yan suddenly rushing out. His eyes widened, and his whole body's black fur stood up, then he turned around and ran away.

  It felt that the human rushing over was very powerful, so it didn't even think about fighting and ran away. The wild dog was extremely confident in its speed, as long as it started running at full speed, there were absolutely few humans and beasts that could catch up to it.

  "Ho Ho"

  The four hooves scattered, and the local dog, with its bare buttocks exposed, plunged headlong into the dense forest.

  Xia Yan followed closely behind and chased after him.

  "This Phantom Wolf seems special!" Xia Yan thought to himself as he quickened his pace.

  Xia Yan's movements were not affected in the slightest as he navigated through the dense forest. His body changed shape, completely unimpeded by the underbrush. Each transformation was as natural and smooth as water flowing into a canal.

  The mud dog sprinted forward, desperately trying to burrow into the dense forest. In its opinion, a human body would definitely be hindered by the trees and underbrush in the dense forest. However, this time it had miscalculated. Generally speaking, even a spiritual master couldn't control their body as nimbly as Xia Yan did. As for muscle control ability, Xia Yan hadn't seen anyone stronger than him yet.

  After running at full speed for a while, the local dog thought it had already shaken off the human who was closely pursuing behind. With a turn of its head, a look of complacency appeared in its eyes as it looked back. But this one glance made its soul flee, and its eyeballs almost popped out. Its four hooves kicked violently in all directions, almost directly into the ground.

  Then with a flick of its tail, it sped up again.

  It saw that the detestable human was just fifty meters behind itself.

  Xia Yan sneered in her heart, "This phantom wolf doesn't look like much, but its speed is indeed incredibly fast. When it runs, it's like a gust of wind. If we were on the plains, I might not be able to catch up to it. But in this dense forest..."

  One by one, they left the manor, gradually moving deeper into the depths of Black Wind Mountain.

  Xia Yan didn't even have time to stop and observe the terrain, he could only follow the ghost wolf that looked like a local dog at its fastest speed over one small mountain peak after another.

  In front of the mud dog, every time it turned its head to look back, it was more frightened. This human being still hadn't been shaken off. Moreover, the distance between the two seemed to be getting closer and closer.

  Quack

  In the mountains and forests, from time to time some flying birds are startled by a man or a wolf and fly out.

  There were also some beasts, only feeling two black shadows flashing in front of them, a gust of wind sweeping past. Later, only a few low shrubs swayed for a while before returning to calmness.

  "This Phantom Wolf is indeed extraordinary."

  The more he chased, the more astonished Xia Yan became. He increasingly felt that the Phantom Wolf's intelligence was extremely high. In the process of escaping, Xia Yan saw that the Phantom Wolf actually understood how to use many escape methods that only humans would use. Although they were not far apart, a moment of carelessness would cause him to lose track of the Phantom Wolf.

  However, Xia Yan's five senses were extremely sensitive, and even if he temporarily lost the Phantom Wolf's trail, he would quickly find it again.

  Time slipped away unnoticed, and Xia Yan's internal energy was also gradually being consumed. However, the distance between him and the Phantom Wolf had been narrowed to only twenty meters.

  At this moment, Xia Yan can clearly see various expressions on the wolf's face. For example, frowning, terror, surprise, incredulity and other human expressions all appear on the wolf's face.

  "Still have to run!" Xia Yan's body leaped forward, a wave of air bursting out from his hand, surging towards the Phantom Wolf's body.

  Feeling something unusual behind him, the Phantom Wolf's body shifted horizontally, its four hooves making a sudden turn on the ground. It left four clear marks and actually dodged Xia Yan's palm blast, without even slowing down its running speed by a single bit.

  Xia Yan's eyes widened slightly in surprise, and then she pushed off the tree trunk with both feet, her body quickly dashing towards the illusory wolf in front of her.

  Within twenty meters, he caught up in an instant. With a long sword in hand, he made a slash, accompanied by a sharp sword aura, and was about to stab the Phantom Wolf's back.

  In a flash of lightning, the Phantom Wolf's body suddenly dodged, although it didn't see Xia Yan's long sword. Yet, it could clearly judge and accurately avoid this sword.

  Xia Yan was shocked again, his long sword fell empty, and then he followed the momentum with force, kicking out one foot and hitting the phantom wolf's abdomen!

  "Aaaaah!" The wolf's eyes rolled back and forth in agony, letting out two short yelps like a small dog as its body thrashed about in mid-air, crashing into a nearby large tree.
