Insufficient balance

  The tigress suddenly stood up, and a loud roar came from her mouth. Tang Hao was stunned, wondering if the tigress had turned against him so quickly. But when he looked closely, he found that the tigress was not charging towards him, but rather towards something behind him.

  Tang Hao turned his head and was stunned for a moment, seeing dozens of blood-red giant wolves drooling as they stared at Tang Hao and the Sword Toothed Tiger family. In the few days since Tang Hao arrived in the Kunlun Star Domain, apart from cultivating, he didn't forget to read some strange stories, among which there was a book that recorded this kind of animal.

  Blood wolves, with bodies as red as fresh blood, have a keen sense of smell and can detect the stench of death from miles away. Since they only feed on dead or injured animals, they lack the brutal combat training, making them relatively weak in battle among the demon beasts. They are the ideal prey for this hunt, but they always travel in packs, as the saying goes "a swarm of ants can kill an elephant". With their unity and solidarity within the pack, no one dares to provoke them. However, this time, the blood wolves will definitely be provoked by the mother tiger's stench.

  Tang Hao took a look, the wolf king among this group of blood wolves was only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, but there were four leaders at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and more than a dozen small heads at the fourth level of Qi Refining. The rest were just some minor characters at the second or third level of Qi Refining.

  A few tiger cubs seemed to be scared too, hiding behind their mother and peeking out at him stealthily. Tang Hao's palms were also starting to sweat. If he had to fight these blood wolves one-on-one, no one would be his match, but there were so many of them coming at once. Plus, Tang Hao didn't know any large-scale spiritual techniques. To put it in earthly terms, he was more like an assassin, only with higher accuracy and critical hits.

  The saber-toothed tiger seemed to think that Tang Hao was no match for the Blood Wolf, so it put its three cubs on its back and called out to Tang Hao twice, twisting its body as if telling him to get on.

  Tang Hao knew that the Sword Toothed Tiger was going to retreat, so he lightly jumped and his jade legs landed on the tiger's back. The Sword Toothed Tiger saw that Tang Hao had settled in, then flew towards the depths of the Xuan Yin mountain range.

  The speed of the sword-toothed tiger in the mountains was very fast, and even if Tang Hao activated the Wind Array, it would only be a little faster. However, Tang Hao's magic had been reduced to 30%, so he didn't waste any time and began to recover his spiritual energy on the tiger's back.

  The Blood Wolf's running speed was slower than the Saber-Toothed Tiger, but it had incredible endurance and chased after it relentlessly. As time passed, the Saber-Toothed Tiger's strength gradually weakened, and its speed slowed down due to its original injuries.

  The Blood Wolves' speed had also started to slow down, but not as quickly as the Sword Toothed Tigers, so the distance between them was slowly narrowing. However, the Blood Wolves' speed was also uneven, and their originally dense formation slowly spread out, with those four Blood Wolves in the fifth layer of Qi Refining running at the front.

  Tang Hao's spiritual power also recovered to 50%, but even if it recovered to 100%, he still wouldn't have the confidence to defeat the Blood Wolf Army, and could only take things one step at a time.

  Jian Chi Hu and Tang Huan slowly ventured deeper into the Xuan Yin mountain range, where the demonic beasts' cultivation grew increasingly higher. Jian Chi Hu seemed to want to exhaust himself with the Blood Wolf, seeing who would be intimidated by the creatures within first and retreat.

  Once the Blood Wolves have locked onto their prey, they generally find it hard to let go. Although they also fear the existence of deeper places, at present, the general level of demonic beasts in the fifth layer of Qi training is not enough to make this army of dozens of Blood Wolves retreat.

  Three tiger cubs wouldn't think of such a thing, and started playing on the tiger's back. Accidentally, one of the tiger cubs fell off from the mother tiger's back.

  The mother tiger stopped in a hurry, turned around and wanted to pick up the tiger cub to continue running. Unexpectedly, the blood wolf's distance had already been pulled very close. The mother tiger picked up the tiger cub and wanted to turn around and continue running when a Qi-refining fifth-order blood wolf had already arrived in front of her.

  Tang Hao didn't know why his body suddenly moved, perhaps he saw this as the best opportunity to take action. Tang Hao jumped down from the tiger's back and immediately arrived beside Xue Lang.

  The Blood Wolf stared intently at the mother tiger and her cub, but didn't expect Tang Hao to suddenly jump down. With this race that likes to pick up leaks, their combat experience was originally insufficient, and they were stiffened there.

  Tang Hao saw that the other Blood Wolves were still far away, so he made a decisive move. With his hand rising and knife falling, Tang Hao drew on the experience and lessons learned from assassinating the mother tiger. He utilized the extremely sharp characteristics of this dagger, no longer using his original assassination method but instead directly chopping off the wolf's head. At the same time, a white-colored Yuan also appeared.

  Tang Hao's eyes were quick and his hands were fast, directly putting away the demon yuan. At this time, the Sword Toothed Tiger's physical strength was almost gone, if Tang Hao jumped up again, although Tang Hao's current body only weighed ninety or so pounds, it would still be a burden for the Sword Toothed Tiger, plus Tang Hao's jumping speed was no slower than the Sword Toothed Tiger's, so he directly flew into the forest.

  The wolf pack saw their companion being killed, and their eyes turned red in an instant. They all used their full strength to chase after Tang Hao. Tang Hao saw that he had attracted the attention of the wolf pack, so he simply ran away in another direction.

  The wolf pack's target is now only Tang Hao, and they all chased after Tang Hao, without caring about the escaped saber-toothed tiger. The saber-toothed tiger saw the wolf pack chasing after Tang Hao, and was taken aback for a moment, wanting to go towards Tang Hao, but looking at the cubs on its back, it continued to run in the opposite direction of Tang Hao.

  Tang Hao saw that the Sword Toothed Tiger had escaped danger, and he finally let out a sigh of relief. The previous fatal blow was too perfect, so much so that Tang Hao didn't expend much spiritual energy at all. When Tang Hao played games on Earth, he also knew what it meant to fly a kite. Now, he planned to use the method of flying a kite to wear down this pack of wolves.

  However, there are two necessary conditions for flying a kite. One is the advantage of speed, and the other is sufficient buffer space. Now, Tang Hao's position is getting deeper and deeper, and if this continues, he may become the main course for other demon beasts.

  But now Tang Hao can't take care of so many things, solving these crazy wolf groups is the most important thing. Tang Hao saw that the wolf group's formation had opened up further, and those three five-layered blood wolves were forming a triangular array to come at him.

  Tang Hao chose the blood wolf in front of him, suddenly made an emergency stop, then jumped towards that blood wolf, and another dagger. With the experience from last time, Tang Hao was even more skilled, directly cutting off the wolf's head, and taking away the demon yuan with ease.

  What Tang Hao didn't expect was that the Blood Wolf, which was originally ten meters away from him, suddenly jumped up and accelerated rapidly, pouncing towards Tang Hao.

  Tang Hao suddenly understood that the demonic beasts' cultivation process was not like humans seeking spiritual techniques to enhance their abilities, but rather they possessed a kind of innate instinct, such as the Sword Toothed Tiger's Wind Blade, while the Blood Wolf was this rapid surprise attack.

  Tang Hao knew that it was too late to escape now, and in his desperation, he could only lean back and avoid the sudden attack of the Blood Wolves. The two Blood Wolves suddenly pounced on empty air and collided with each other, fortunately they withdrew their sharp claws in time, otherwise they would have died at each other's hands.

  Tang Hao took advantage of the two wolves' eyes flashing with golden stars and struck down twice, taking two lives. This counter-kill made Tang Hao involuntarily break out in cold sweat, but he was also overjoyed - these Blood Wolves were indeed lacking in combat experience, and had actually let Tang Hao take advantage of them.

  The Wolf King in command saw his four Golden Guardians all fall, and suddenly his anger ignited, he took the lead, charging towards Tang Hao.

  Tang Hao discovered that this Wolf King had been holding back its strength all along. At full speed, it was almost on par with Tang Hao.

  Tang Hao knew that flying a kite with it was no longer realistic, so he could only hope to pull the Wolf King and the wolf pack far away, and then have a one-on-one fight.

  As expected, the Wolf King's excessive self-confidence caused him to abandon his own people. Tang Hao saw that the wolf pack had pulled far away and stopped, using the Concealment Array to hide his figure.

  The Wolf King saw Tang Hao suddenly disappear and began to search slowly. The stealth array on this clothes is useless, it's just invisible and hiding breath, it's okay for low-level demon beasts, but it's still a problem when facing the sixth-layer Refining Qi period Wolf King.

  Because even if he hid his figure, the airflow and light around him would still reveal some flaws. If one was careful enough, they would eventually be discovered. Tang Hao only wanted to find an opportunity to launch a fatal attack before being found out.

  The Wolf King saw that there was something strange behind a tree, the air flowing to it automatically bypassed it. The Wolf King's eyes revealed a hint of sharpness as he directly pounced towards it. Sure enough, Tang Huang who had been hiding was pounced out and pinned to the ground by the Wolf King.

  Tang Hao was pinned down by the Wolf King, unable to move. He could only watch as the Wolf King's sharp claws pierced his chest. Suddenly, a blue light flashed on Tang Hao's chest, and the defensive array on his chest began to activate. However, this defensive array only slowed down the Wolf King's speed, and its sharp claws still pierced Tang Hao's chest.

  Tang Hao's body suddenly turned into a puff of white smoke, and the Wolf King's head also fell off. Although the Wolf King was defeated, Tang Hao lost half of his spiritual power, which is now less than 20%. However, it's still enough to deal with those small fries.
