Chapter 1177 – Solving the Sand Wolves
The extreme magic crystals were worth a lot, but it wasn’t a good idea for the sand wolves to keep following so far behind.
After all, Prisoner Sand Mountain was not a safe place, where one could meet other sand beasts at any time.
Once she was entangled by other sand beasts, the sand wolves at the back would definitely take the opportunity to attack.
At that time, if she wanted to get away again, she was afraid that she would have to pay a considerable price.
If she could completely solve the Sand Wolves’ problem, using two Extreme Grade Magic Crystals would not be a bad idea.
The sense of smell of the sand wolves was amazing, and they were able to distinguish between friend and foe through their scent.
After discovering that the cultivator who had killed his own kind had stayed somewhere and had not moved for a long time, the head wolf’s eyes flashed with vigilance, and his speed slowed down instead.
But Xu Chuniang never moved, and as the sand wolves slowed down, the distance between the two sides continued to shorten.
In the end, across the low dunes, she and the wolves looked at each other from afar.
After confirming that there was no other danger around, the head wolf finally moved.
With its command, more than a hundred sand wolves descended like fierce tigers, crossing the low hills and pouncing towards Xu Chuniang.
Looking at the sand wolves with hatred and enmity in their eyes, Xu Chuniang looked calm and just let them come towards her.
Seeing this, the head wolf intuited that there was a trick.
It was about to order these sand wolves to be careful when Xu Chunniang finally moved.
With a thought, the Chaotic True Qi within her body condensed into a dense spatial law, falling forcefully towards the few sand wolves closest to her.
Sensing the irresistible power of this law, panic and fear flashed in the eyes of the sand wolves as they subconsciously struggled in an attempt to avoid this spatial law.
However, the power of the spatial law was very overbearing, and almost the instant the power of the law touched the several sand wolves, their figures immediately disappeared from their original positions and were teleported away.
The sand wolves were stunned for a split second by this sudden turn of events, and their gazes towards Xu Chuniang became hesitant.
The head wolf had also sensed the overbearing spatial force just now, and his expression became much more cautious than before.
However, the head wolf was well aware of how difficult this cultivator in front of him was to deal with, and it didn’t want to miss the opportunity that had come so easily.
The head wolf tilted its head and let out a few short roars, and the wolves that heard the order immediately understood and gathered together with the other sand wolves.
The originally scattered sand wolves converged into five or six sand wolf regiments, each of which had nearly twenty sand wolves.
Xu Chuniang watched the sand wolves’ movements in her eyes and did not stop them, only continuing to push the Chaotic True Qi in her body, condensing more Law Force and falling towards the head wolf in the distance.
The head wolf sensed something bad, its body emitting a faint yellow aura as it subconsciously tried to vanish.
However, the reason why the Laws of Space were so dominant was that they could ignore distance and space and accurately hit the target.
Even though the head wolf resisted in the first place, it still disappeared under the spatial law.
The disappearance of the head wolf caused a commotion among the wolves, and Xu Chuniang took the opportunity to mobilize the vines to launch an attack, catching the wolves off guard.
However, the Sand Wolves’ numbers held an absolute advantage, and after a short period of commotion, the wolves quickly organized a powerful counterattack, and the situation began to become unfavorable for the vines.
It was at this time that Xu Chuniang struck again, as she continuously condensed spatial laws and fell towards the sand wolves that had fallen alone.
One after another, the sand wolves disappeared under the power of the laws.
The rhythm of the sand wolves’ counterattack was once again disrupted, and the vines took the opportunity to kill indiscriminately, taking away the lives of several sand wolves.
Whenever they raised the slightest hint of resistance, Xu Chuniang would strike quickly and accurately, nipping the seeds in the bud. After repeating this several times, the sand wolves finally realized that if this battle continued any longer, all of their kind would be accounted for here.
But the battle had entered a white heat, and it wasn’t that easy for them to leave.
After realizing that the situation was not good, the sand wolves launched a desperate counterattack, like trapped beasts in a cage, climbing and biting the Soul Breath Vine regardless of the consequences.
Unfortunately, under Xu Chuniang’s control and command, this dying counterattack only lasted less than two quarters of an hour before it came to an end.
With the sound of a whimper, the last Sand Wolf, unwillingly, collapsed in the yellow sand.
At this point, the sand wolf’s plague was considered to be completely lifted.
After resolving all the sand wolves, Xu Chuniang’s taut mind finally relaxed.
Utilizing the laws of space to forcefully teleport the other sand wolves away required the consumption of a large amount of Chaotic True Qi.
Even if she had made sufficient preparations beforehand, the Chaotic True Qi in the Dao Fruit Demon Seed would inevitably be extracted.
As for those sand wolves that had been teleported away by the spatial laws, even Xu Chuniang didn’t know where they had been teleported to.
It was still questionable whether these Sand Wolves could survive after they fell alone, and she was half worried about their retaliation.
Just as she was about to leave, she heard the sound of quicksand, coming from the distance.
Xu Chuniang looked in the direction from which the sound came, and saw that on the hill, a pit several feet square had suddenly appeared.
There seemed to be an endless suction in the pit, sucking the surrounding dust and sand in.
Having experienced it once before, Xu Chuniang knew at a glance that there was a new heavy stone to be congealed underneath.
The reason for the formation of the heavy stone was very simple, it was a stone that contained the power of special laws that naturally coalesced out of the Prisoner Sand Mountain after being sharpened by countless winds and sands.
They were incomparably heavy, and also possessed a powerful suction force, capable of absorbing the surrounding dust and sand and transforming them into their own power.
After discovering the pit, Xu Chuniang did not head to the bottom of the pit to explore it first.
She observed the movement of the quicksand, gauging the time, and waited until the speed of the quicksand slowed down before driving a few Soul Breath Vines, causing them to go down to investigate.
After the Soul Breath Vines dived into the bottom of the pit along with the quicksand, it wasn’t long before they brought up a grayish-brown stone the size of a pellet, and handed it over to her as if it was a treasure.
Xu Chuniang took the heavy stone, and it was indeed an extremely heavy texture in her hand.
A heavy stone that was only the size of a pellet, but contained the strength of ten thousand pounds within it.
It was hard to imagine how astonishing the weight of a magic weapon would be if it were to be crafted from a heavy stone.
What was even more interesting was that the yellow sand flying around had also miraculously stopped after the appearance of the heavy stone.
In fact, the wind and sand did not stop, but the weight of the yellow sand was too light, and when they were close to the heavy stone, they would be sucked up by the suction force coming out from the heavy stone, which created the illusion of the wind and sand stopping.
Xu Chuniang put away the heavy stone, and not long after, new yellow sands indeed reappeared around her.
She recalled the topographical map of the Prisoner Sand Mountain and did not return to the Sand Wolf Plains, heading towards the Sand Snake’s Nest, which was much closer to this place.
The Sand Wolves were too time consuming to kill, and there was also a not insignificant risk, compared to that, it was still easier and more profitable to hunt other Sand Beasts.
Sand snakes liked dryness, and their nests were usually built near the Firethorn Wood.
After Xu Chuniang followed the topographical map and found a small patch of firethorn forest, she indeed found several nests of sand snakes.
