Chapter 1 The Wedge Seeking Collection

  Wang Yu felt it as soon as he heard the long cry of Hei Jia. This Hei Jia was indignant, resentful and disdainful. Thinking that this proud dragon horse had cultivated the "Hundred Changes Dragon Horse Technique", opened its spiritual intelligence, and was a demonic beast of the dragon horse clan, yet it was competing in speed with that unenlightened Yellow Dragon Horse. This was truly a great shame!

  "Master, what are you comparing me to this thing? Can this lowly dragon horse be compared to me? If I release my pressure, it will immediately crawl down." Soon, Wang Yu received the dissatisfied emotional soul exchange from Hei Jia.

  "Shut up! You're going to ruin everything for me. If you keep this up, I'll have you slaughtered and served as meat soup." Wang Yu glared at Hei Jia, thinking: This Hei Jia still has a bit of a wild streak, I need to find an opportunity to teach it a lesson.

  "Haha, Wang old brother is interested in horse racing, I'll accompany you. Let's go!" Yan Yu led the Yellow Dragon Horse, quickly mounted it, turned his head and shouted to Wang Yu, "Wang old brother follow up! Drive!"

  "Alright! Big brother will lead the way!" Wang Yu responded, and at the same time, he jumped onto Hei Jia's back, his two feet stomping firmly on the stirrups. He beckoned to Hei Jia and said, "Follow closely, don't overtake it, just hang behind it."

  "Hmph!" The black armor responded discontentedly to Wang Yu, and also told Wang Yu through actual actions... it's not good to bully, three steps forward, five steps shaking.

  But on its back, the king feather did not see any shaking, which made Hei Jia puzzled. Was this grown on his own body? No matter how he shook it, it was useless, and he followed the yellow dragon horse with confusion.

  "Hmph, you're still as stubborn as ever, Black Armor. Want to play dirty with me? Think you can take me down and humiliate me? Keep practicing for two more years, my thousand-jin plummet isn't something I've been practicing in vain!" Wang Yu thought to himself with a sense of pride.

  "Hey, Wang. It's getting late, let's find a place to rest for a while and continue on our journey tomorrow morning." The sky was gradually darkening when Yan Yu, who was leading the way in front, suddenly called out to Wang Yu.

  "Let's take a rest and continue tomorrow morning." Wang Yu readily agreed with Yan Yu's proposal.

  Wang Yu and others stayed in a bamboo forest, with gusts of wind blowing through. "Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~"

  "Wooo~~~" A mournful howl came from deep within the bamboo forest.

  Yan Yu walked over from a distance, still holding a bundle of firewood in his hand. A bundle of firewood was piled up, and Wang Yu stretched out his hand to summon the fire spirit to ignite the wood. Suddenly, the entire valley was illuminated brightly. The surrounding area of the valley was densely forested, with the only open space being where Wang Yu and the others were resting, a soft grassland with comfortable bedding. Adding to that, they had game meat roasting in their hands, it was truly a great enjoyment.

  "Love is not wrong, the mistake lies in loving at the wrong time..." Wang Yu hummed along to a modern song from his past life while roasting the wild rabbit in his hand.

  Not far from Wang Yu, Yan You looked at him with a puzzled expression, then closed his eyes to meditate again. Wang Yu, on the other hand, was leisurely roasting the wild rabbit in his hands. Before long, a rich aroma wafted through the air, even rousing Yan You, who had been sitting cross-legged and seemed to be absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. He opened his eyes to find a golden-brown piece of rabbit meat sizzling away amidst the flames, its color a perfect golden hue, its aroma enticing, and its presentation flawless, making one's mouth water at the mere sight of it.

  "Wooo~~~" The distant wolf pack was also stirred by the savory smell, and their loud howls rose and fell in succession.

  Suddenly a loud roar rose from the chaotic wolf howls, "Ahhh~~~" At that moment, the bamboo forest was quiet, as if time had only this one sound.

  That's right, the wolf king howled. The wolf king let out a few more mournful and drawn-out howls before stopping, followed by several high-pitched yips. It seemed to be the "backbone" of the wolf pack, with a few high-pitched calls that sounded like a military bugle call, eliciting wave after wave of responses. Then the sound of running footsteps was incessant, and upon closer discernment, the wolf pack had split into several routes to encircle Wang Yu and Yan Yu.

  Upon hearing the wolf's howl, Yan furrowed his brow as if contemplating something. After a long while, he spoke up, "This Wolf King seems to have broken through; last time we passed by here it was only at the peak of Qi Refining, who would have thought this beast had actually cultivated to the Foundation Establishment stage? I'm afraid you and I are no match for it now, trying to leave is a bit troublesome."

  "Haha, I'll advance and retreat with Brother Yan! Hope Brother Yan won't abandon me!" Wang Yu joked, but thought to himself: Old guy, still trying to play tricks on me? Dammit, the sky isn't even dark yet and you want to stop here for the night. Now we've run into this Foundation Establishment stage wolf king... who would believe there's no ghost? I think it's because you can't kill the wolf king alone, so you're pulling me in as your helper!

  Wang Yu thought so in his heart but didn't say it out loud, as saying this at the moment would be bad for everyone. Because losing one's life over a careless remark from Wolf King wasn't worth it.

  "Where's the fun in that, brother? Haha, never mind. Let me tell you about this wolf pack. The Wolf King and the leading wolves won't participate in the initial attack, they'll just keep sending out small groups of wolves to harass us until we're exhausted, then they'll launch a real attack. If too many of the smaller wolves are lost, I reckon the Wolf King will also urge the leading wolves to attack. The scale of this wolf pack is around 1,000 to 1,200, with six leading wolves and one Wolf King. The Wolf King currently has foundation-building period strength, while the other leading wolves have late-stage refinement period strength... mostly seventh and eighth tier..." Yan Yu analyzed the wolf pack's strength for Wang Yu.

  Wang Yu furrowed his brow upon hearing this data, after all he had just entered the late stage of Qi Refining, and a 7th rank cultivation base was considered a fairly strong expert in the secular world. However, in the Immortal Realm, this level of power was too weak, and could only be used to muddle along at the bottom rungs.

  "Ahhh~~~" A sturdy, forest grey wolf pounced on Wang Yu. Before he could react, Wang Yu instinctively drew the Blood Spirit Knife from his back and sliced the attacking wolf in half. The air was filled with the stench of blood, and the originally excited wolf pack caught wind of it, their eyes reddening as they struggled to contain their emotions and not attack.

  "Ao!" The Wolf King gave another order, and the pack of wolves swarmed in, surrounding Wang Yu and Yan Yu, making it impossible for them to escape.

  "Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!" The sound of wolves being disembowelled, the sound of them falling to the ground. Countless grey wolves lay on the ground, their lifeless eyes devoid of any spark.

  "Hiss!" A cunning wolf launched a sneak attack on Wang Yu from an extremely sharp angle, leaving a claw mark on Wang Yu's back.

  "Damn it, you're a stupid beast who hasn't awakened to spiritual wisdom yet, and you dare to lay hands on me? Go to hell! Wang Yu was enraged by this sneak attack and struck back in anger. The Blood Spirit Knife's blade spun around and smashed the ambushing gray wolf into minced meat."

  "I am a wolf from the north, walking in the vast wilderness. The piercing north wind blows by, and the endless yellow sand sweeps past. I am a wolf from the north, walking in the vast wilderness. The piercing north wind blows by, and the endless yellow sand sweeps past. All I have is to bite my cold teeth and respond with two long howls... Haha, refreshing! In that pack of wolves, a man covered in blood was wielding an even more blood-red treasured sword, killing wolves like slaughtering dogs. One knife per wolf, his mouth still muttering something, which the wolves couldn't understand."
