　　The other members of the group shuddered in fear as regret covered their faces.

　　They had heard many rumors about how the Subterranean Galleries were littered with treasures, and that as long as their luck was not too bad, they would be able to make a killing just by entering the premises. With the fortune earned, they would be able to purchase sufficient resources to advance their cultivation. Never in their wildest dreams could they have expected to encounter such a powerful pack of wolves within an hour of entering the Subterranean Gallery, such that even the strongest among them, Wu s.h.i.+, was defeated in a single blow!

　　If even Wu s.h.i.+ was no match for them, what in the world could they do about the Mapleleaf Wolves?

　　“We have to coordinate with one another to deal with those wolves. Otherwise, we might all lose our lives here…” one of the elders uttered through tightly gritted teeth as he took out his spear.

　　Infusing his spear with his zhenqi, he drove his spear forward as if a viper leaping forth for a kill.

　　His cultivation was only at Saint 4-dan Primordial Spirit realm primary stage, but he was able to bring out the imposing might of a spearmaster. Had it been any other occasion, he might have won himself the admiration of others.

　　However, in the eyes of the pack of wolves, the strength that he could summon was nothing.

　　Hula!

　　One of the Mapleleaf Wolves leaped forward. With a simple bite, the gray wolf stopped the spear in its track. At the same time, it swiped its claw forward toward the elder, and gruesome lacerations immediately appeared on the chest of the elder.

　　“Luo Gong!”

　　Seeing that the elder had been injured, the middle-aged man beside him immediately whipped out his weapon and charged forth as well. At the same time, the remaining members of the crowd also realized what treacherous circ.u.mstances they were in, so they followed suit and executed their strongest moves without the slightest hesitation.

　　Peng peng peng peng!

　　The sound of popping rucksacks filled the air. The crowd that had charged forward were sent flying backward with even greater momentum, and they collapsed onto the floor cloaked in dust. Crimson blood oozed from the corners of their lips.

　　There was simply too great a disparity in their fighting prowess, and the fact that they were in an unfamiliar environment worsened the situation. As a result, the battle ended before it could even start.

　　Seeing how his group had been defeated with such ease, Wu Kuang despaired.

　　Had he known that this would happen, he would have ventured into the Subterranean Gallery alone. If so, he would have had no qualms turning tail and fleeing.

　　But in their current situation… it seemed like they were doomed to lose their lives.

　　Just as Wu Kuang gave up all hope, he caught sight of the duo whom he had been unwilling to bring along seated calmly by the side, not moving at all despite the onslaught of the Mapleleaf Wolves.

　　It was as if they were oblivious to the battle.

　　“They…” He wanted to rage at them for their nonchalance, but he eventually sighed instead and muttered, “Forget it. Given their strength, it would be futile even if they came over to help us…”

　　A severely wounded adolescent boy and a young man who had not even reached Saint 1-dan… Considering how even a 7-star pinnacle master teacher like him was unable to match the Mapleleaf Wolves, it would not have made any difference even if those two fellows had helped them.

　　“The energy harnessed within the body of a master teacher is much purer than ordinary human cultivators. I want this one. As for the rest, I’ll leave it to you to distribute them as you deem fit!” Seeing that their prey had finally given up on struggling, the Wolf King coldly issued its orders before making its way toward Wu Kuang.
