Chapter 5: Rapid progression and a mystery for the future
time skip of 1 week and 4 days
As I ran I heard rustling from the bushes or my side without thinking turned around and put my left arm forward in a defensive thrust.
Then a wolf bites my forearm and shakes itself in an attempt to rip it apart.
But all it does is break your teeth because I used the iron scale gu to protect me in time.
Without giving it a chance I impaled its head and neck with two moon-shaped blades curved inwards like Marvel's x-23
The wolf almost dies instantly and lets go of my arm, but soon 5 more normal wolves come and without thinking too much I throw the energy blades at him and in one case he is left with moderate injuries.
But these small fish are not the ones that bother me, but rather the giant wolf behind them that could bite my head off
He is probably a beast that can reach the level of Hundred Beast king
But without wasting any more time, I use the flaming moth gu to launch several fireballs at the smaller wolves to balance the battle
And the result is that the one that was furthest away escapes without injury and returns to the side of the largest, two that were in the middle of the path suffered some fire but quickly rolled to the ground to pay the fire and retreated, the last three were not so lucky and were seriously injured. wounded then retreated a little but maintained the lead in the attack formation and what I had already reached died thanks to the fireballs
Now it's 1 direwolf and 4 normal ones against me
Without delay, I activate my gu again, which generates 6 5-pointed ninja stars and throws them towards the wolves in an attempt to cause more damage and I succeed
One of the seriously injured loses an eye and those with moderate injuries and the one that emerges unharmed suffer small injuries
The wolves, realizing that they can no longer stand still, try to attack me, with the 2 most injured in the front and the two moderately injured on the sides
So with a face plan I trap the two seriously injured using the gu stone house that creates a square stone structure that they have no way to get out because they are very weak
Then I activate two gus at once which are the strength of the wolf gu and the claws of the wolf gu which temporarily give the strength and agility of a wolf and which makes my nails grow and become hard to the point of scratching stones but after a Eventually they will break and my fingertips will be extremely painful
With that I move forward and rip out the throat of the wolf that was coming from the left, leaving it on the ground to suffer until death.
And then I feel a wind coming from behind
from the wolf's point of view he lunged to bite me in the neck but when he bit I only heard the sound of an empty bite
-chomp!! That's what the wolf heard while he was confused
Taking advantage of the momentary confusion, I appeared from a very sturdy branch above the giant logo while throwing a fist encased in stone and thrusting it into the spine and using the same movement to disappear and reappear at a safe distance.
After I gain more distance, four more normal wolves will appear
The big wolf saw this and looked at me with a smile on his face as if he had already seen what he didn't expect is that two of these wolves would immediately bite his heels into a bloody wound and retreat
while two others blocked and immobilized one of the two remaining sodable wolves
These wolves are actually my domesticated wolves
Taking advantage of the chance they had, I fired several fireballs at him and now he is barely standing
So to finish, I create the lunar blades in my hand again and launch them at him, which finally makes him fall to the ground to the point of death.
And I turn to see how my wolves are doing and I see that they managed to immobilize and trap the two most sociable wolves
So, I didn't see any more sense in my granddaughter, fighting closer to the giant wolf, but leaving a safe space between us, so I finished by throwing two more lunar blades at the head.
I then made the wolves trapped by throwing some phobo balls inside
I can well say that I am satisfied with this new gu that I have refined, which is the first besides my vital gu to be of the chimera path, despite its problems
This gu is the lunar rib gu rank 2 with the abilities to generate 6 stars or 2 lunar blades that can be used melee or speared and the second abel and for each rank they can absorb an abel from the path of the moon or stars sacrificing gu with this skill
As for the other two remaining wolves, I will enslave them with the rank 2 dog enslaver gu
When I use it, I feel a slight resistance that quickly passes over both my and my wolves' persuasion.
After subduing them I crown them with the divine light gu and I also use it a little on myself to relieve the pain and tiredness I had from running a marathon with the wolves behind me.
Well, I can say that everything went better than expected, having realized that I came here because there were a few more traps set up, but they weren't persistent.
And I think I've become much better at controlling my emotions.
I owe this to the wolves, despite calling them that, so far from being normal as they are extremely resistant as only rank 2 gus works on them and they still demonstrate extreme resistance to lightning strikes which they compete with the thunder wolves of Fang Yuan's mountain for food in the past?
Well, I just know that it was a shock to discover this the first time after managing to refine my first rank 2 gu, which consisted of being of the electrical path with a power very similar to the chidori.
My god I almost lost my hand because of that
leaving reflective thoughts for later to start treating the wolves' bodies as quickly as possible
Dealing with the bodies was quick, I took the parts that could be useful and stored them in gus for rank 1 materials and let my gus feed if they can feed on something.
The only thing I can weigh now about my gus is that I still haven't found any useful for the hydra chimera but I managed to refine a rank 1 gu from the blood path that feeds on blood and since its ability wasn't very useful I fed it for the parasite that now not only feeds on the energy of other beings but can now eat blood to gain energy to keep or give to others
Other than that, I think I have a strong record of stomach pain and diarrhea caused by excessive use of the parasite.
Well, I didn't have much of a choice since Divine Light is a relatively good gu but with extremely strict dietary requirements and as I used it a lot in the first few days because it didn't stop me from getting angry during the fights, as a result I ended up eating all of its food much sooner than expected.
Other than that, the gu that I missed the most was the steps of roots gu that while hearing within a radius of 10 meters of my foot some raises I can simply quickly sink to the ground and appear on any branch or root within a radius of 200 meters and the How quickly this happens depends on how much essence I use
Once the collection was finished, I started heading to the right since this is the last part I have left to explore on this side of the mountain.
On the mountain I'm on I noticed that the lips avoid going too far to the left and that could mean two things: a hundred beast king in that area or a mutated animal which would be the worst possibility
I'm trying to find a safe place to try to climb from Upper to Peak of rank 2 soon because I don't know how long my gu rank 3 will last in hibernation
After a while I found a narrow cave entrance, it was very smooth inside and cold air came out constantly.
I'm not stupid, I know there are only 3 possibilities: a powerful ice path gu, a legacy or a zone with ice path resources
So I quickly form a plan
A little while later I'm back in the cave but with several live but emubilized prey
So I made the entrance with some uses of the gu stone house and now I'm ready to explore
