Alienated Martial Arts

Chapter 12 Sharpening
The afternoon sun shone through the gaps in the shade, casting a golden spot in the valley.

Wei Tao leaned against some hot rocks, carefully observing and listening to the movement around him.

Suddenly, a pair of dark green eyes appeared in the bushes more than ten meters away.

Immediately afterwards came the second pair, the third pair, and finally more than a dozen red-capped gray wolves came nearby.

Wei Tao tensed up immediately, grabbed a few sharp stones he found on the road, and hid his body even deeper.

"Fortunately, the hard work these days was not in vain, and I finally found them near their old nest."

"But luck is also a bit bad. The last time I saw them, there were only three or four wolves. Today, more than ten wolves came all at once."

The wolves that live in Cangmang Mountain are usually only a few wolves, and the number can go up to double digits, which can definitely be regarded as a large group.

As Wei Tao read in miscellaneous books before, it is impossible for hundreds of thousands of wolves to exist in the vast mountains.

After all, the larger the number of wolves, the more food they consume every day, which brings huge pressure on their survival, and will eventually return to a balanced state.

The wolves huddled in the bushes without moving, and he also hid behind the rocks without moving.

It wasn't until a quarter of an hour later that a gray shadow rushed out of the bushes, and in an instant it had arrived under the tree where the mountain deer was hanging upside down, jumped up high and bit it.

Wei Tao frowned, and did not take this opportunity to throw stones.

He waited quietly until the red-capped gray wolf tore the mountain deer off and dragged it back to the bushes without making a hasty move.

There were too many wolves, far beyond his expectations.

So I can only give up this hunting opportunity and wait for the next time to be more fully prepared before returning to this place.

The wolves quickly disappeared deep into the bushes.

Wei Tao waited for a while, then moved his body a little bit and left slowly.

Suddenly, his back suddenly felt cold.

A gust of wind came blowing.

Without any hesitation, Wei Tao turned around and slashed out.

Swish!
A gray shadow had already rushed close, and one could even smell the stench emanating from its mouth.

Its claws were less than a foot away from Wei Tao's body, and then it was cut by the machete, and a row of dazzling sparks suddenly splashed out between the blade and the sharp claws.

The machete was bounced high, spinning and piercing into a tree trunk on one side.

However, the huge impact force also swept away the pounced gray shadow, hit the ground and rolled around a few times before standing up.

A low whimper sounded from the deep throat of the red-capped gray wolf, and it kept digging, preparing for the next attack.

Wei Tao confronted it at a distance of several meters, he didn't attack first, and he didn't even use Youshiquan to throw the stone out of his hand.

Because in this short period of two or three breaths, two adult red-capped gray wolves sprang out from the bushes and surrounded him from different directions.

He felt a little regretful that he shouldn't have come to hunt alone.

Because until then he discovered that the red-capped gray wolves here are very different from the gray wolves on Earth.

They are bigger and stronger, and they didn't feel anything when I saw them from a long distance last time.

Looking closely now, each of them is almost as big as a calf.

The shrill wolf howls came and went.

A golden symbol appeared before the eyes, and the status bar just appeared, but then disappeared.

"My heart is a little messed up. I want to improve my practice progress under the watchful eyes of a pack of wolves. I am looking for death."

"I have to work hard, at least I have to go down the mountain alive..."

Wei Tao suppressed the tension and anxiety in his heart, let out a long breath of foul air, his hands suddenly swelled and became red like blood.

The fishy wind suddenly started.

Two red-capped gray wolves, one on the left and the other on the right, swooped over from both sides.

He didn't have time to think about it, his body had already reacted instinctively.

The red line boxing practiced day and night came out of stress.

Stepping, twisting the waist, bowing, punching.

Wei Tao tried his best to let the claw of the red-capped gray wolf on the left brush against his waist, and punched heavily on the waist of the wolf coming from the right.

Click!

A crisp sound came from the red-capped gray wolf.

Simultaneously stabbed.

A gap was drawn in the clothes around Wei Tao's waist.

Fortunately, he added two layers of thick linen body protection inside, so that no wound was left under the wolf's claws.

The red-capped gray wolf on the right howled miserably, fell to the ground, struggled desperately but couldn't stand upright.

With a copper head and an iron tail, Wei Tao's forceful and heavy punch immediately robbed him of his combat effectiveness.

But before he could catch his breath, two red-capped gray wolves pounced on him.

Wei Tao did not dodge or dodge, and met him head-on.

In this kind of surrounded fight, especially when the speed is not dominant, he can only choose to fight head-to-head, or even exchange injuries for injuries.
Overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum and smash their fighting will with fists, in order to gain a chance of life.

The fierce battle lasted less than half a cup of tea, and it was declared over.

The wolves left two seriously injured companions and took the mountain deer away, not knowing whether it was a loss or a gain.

Wei Tao also paid a big price.

Blood was bubbling outwards from several places on his body, and the continuous circulation of Qi and blood burst into punches, making him almost on the verge of losing strength.

Sweat soaked through the torn clothes, and the wound was burning and painful.

He leaned against the tree and panted heavily, his legs trembling uncontrollably, barely able to support the weight of his body.

"kindness!?"

Wei Tao was about to sit down on the ground, but his pupils shrank suddenly.

A red-capped gray wolf slowly stepped out of the bushes with graceful steps.

It was a circle larger than the others of its kind, and there was a cunning and cruel light in its green eyes, which formed a stark contrast with other red-capped gray wolves.

Wei Tao was anxious in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

He even left the big tree he was leaning against, strained his limp legs with all his strength, and approached the crouching red-capped gray wolf step by step.

It should be the alpha wolf of the entire wolf pack, testing his reality.

Then, he must not show the slightest weakness at this time.

You can't turn around and run away, leaving your back to them.

The distance between Wei Tao and it was getting closer and closer, his arm swelled and enlarged again, and he clenched his fist that was so painful that it was about to burst.

The red-capped gray wolf that appeared last lowered its head, whimpered softly, and began to back away slowly.

until it disappears completely.

Wei Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, his physical strength was almost exhausted, and he was injured, so he couldn't even exert [-]% of his previous strength.

If the alpha wolf really came up regardless, the best outcome would be that he killed it at the cost of serious injuries.

Then he was bitten to death, or lying on the ground incapacitated to die.

After bluffing and waiting on the spot for a while, Wei Tao finally regained some physical strength.

He first took out the herbs prepared in advance from the basket to smear the wound, and then seized the time to bleed the red-capped gray wolf, and put everything into the wine bag prepared in advance.

Gudong!

Goo, goo, goo!

A few mouthfuls of wolf blood mixed with medicinal wine were swallowed.

Wei Tao opened his eyes wide suddenly, as if a line of fire went straight from his throat into his stomach.

Qi and blood circulated slowly, and he felt as if his arms were burning.

It was like going back to the morning when he was apprenticed to the master, Master Zhou shot like lightning and hit him.

After a while, although the wound was still burning, at least in terms of Qi and blood circulation, it had recovered to a level of six or seven.

And the effect of wolf blood is still continuing, waiting to be digested and absorbed by the body, constantly making up for the previous consumption.

Cutting off a branch as thick as a cup to use as a shoulder pole, Wei Tao tied the two red-capped gray wolves with hemp rope, and hurriedly walked out of the mountain along the original road.

At this time, the sun has begun to slant to the west, and the mountain wind has gradually brought a little coolness.

Wei Tao quickened his pace, otherwise it would be difficult to return to the city before the city gate was keyed and locked.

He was not afraid of spending the night in the wild, but he had to send the flesh and blood of the red-capped gray wolf back to the martial arts hall as quickly as possible. If the delay was too long, it would affect the efficacy of the Huoxue Pill.

After this hunting, Wei Tao finally deeply understood what Peng Yue said, how effective training in the mountains is for sharpening boxing skills.

At the same time, I deeply realized my own shortcomings.

He overestimated his own strength and ignored the application of various means.

The practice of the Red Line Fist is the foundation, but for other methods that can kill the enemy, no matter how much you prepare in advance, you can never have too much.

Traps, drugged, poisoned, hidden weapons and so on.

If conditions permit, he even wants to get some bows and armor.

After turning a corner, Wei Tao suddenly restrained his thoughts and stopped walking in a rare mountain.

He put down the burden on his shoulders, and held the machete behind his back with his backhand.

Several men in worn animal skins jumped out and blocked his way.

Whoosh!
Immediately afterwards, a feathered arrow flew from the rear slanting thorn, and sank deeply into the tree trunk beside it.

The gazes of several people wandered back and forth over the corpse of the red-capped gray wolf, and then looked at Wei Tao, who was dressed in rags, with uncertain expressions and unpredictable eyes.
