I Use My Secondary Job To Add Talents

Chapter 14: Thunderclap

Although Song Baoshi had never heard the phrase "A golden dragon is not a creature of a mere pond, it transforms in the face of wind and clouds," he slowly began to feel that his adopted son was drifting further away from him and Stone Bull Village.

It was like the genius from the neighboring village ten years ago who reached the pinnacle of the fourth layer of Exterior Forging at the age of twenty-five and was quickly recruited by a powerful force in Passing River City. Later, he brought his parents to Passing River City and lived a comfortable life.

The talent and aptitude displayed by his adopted son now far surpassed that of the genius from the neighboring village. Once exposed, it should not take long for a powerful force from Passing River City to recruit him.

However, having lived in Stone Bull Village for a lifetime and having only a few good years left, Song Baoshi did not want to go to Passing River City now.

Just when Song Fulu had stabilized his cultivation at the fourth layer of Exterior Forging, he heard that a Green Wind Wolf had appeared on the outskirts of Stone Bull Mountain, constantly attacking hunters who entered the mountain. In just a few days, more than ten hunters were killed, including two from Stone Bull Village.

Green Wind Wolves usually lurked deep in Stone Bull Mountain and possessed strength comparable to a Martial Artist at the Interior Refinement realm. They were not comparable to the Martial Artists in the surrounding villages who had at most reached the fourth layer of Exterior Forging. Lone hunters encountering them would meet a certain death and couldn't even escape.

Even if several Martial Artists at the fourth layer of Exterior Forging joined forces, it would be difficult to defeat the swift Green Wind Wolf.

Seeing the increasing number of hunters killed and eaten by the Green Wind Wolf, the surrounding villages couldn't sit still. They formed a wolf-hunting team together, hoping to rely on their numbers to kill the Green Wind Wolf.

However, after busy work for more than half a month, not only did they fail to kill the Green Wind Wolf, but they also lost more than ten hunters.

The Green Wind Wolf was quite cunning. When it encountered a large group of hunters, it would immediately avoid them. Even if the wolf-hunting team set traps, it could quickly detect them.

It only attacked lone hunters or small groups of hunters. The wolf-hunting team couldn't patrol the outskirts of Stone Bull Mountain all the time, nor did they have enough manpower.

Therefore, the Green Wind Wolf repeatedly succeeded. The number of hunters and villagers lost by Stone Bull Village alone had reached four, one of whom was Song Fulu's neighbor.

The neighbor had gone to the outskirts of Stone Bull Village to pick wild vegetables, but unexpectedly encountered the Green Wind Wolf. By the time they realized it, only a pile of bones remained.

For a while, the people of Stone Bull Village were in panic, and the villagers dared not enter Stone Bull Mountain anymore. However, Stone Bull Mountain was the place they relied on for survival. Without entering the mountain, there would be no food. In just over half a month, many villagers began to go hungry.

This situation was clearly not a solution. The surrounding villages also considered pooling money to hire Martial Artists at the Interior Refinement realm for help, but after finding several Martial Artists at that realm, they were not confident.

The Green Wind Wolf was too fast. Even if they could defeat it head-on, they couldn't catch up to it. It would be easy for it to escape.

Seeing that no Martial Artists at the Interior Refinement realm agreed to help, the surrounding villages became somewhat helpless, and life became increasingly difficult.

At this time, Song Fulu had already realized that although the Green Wind Wolf was fast, its frontal combat power was not high. At most, it was equivalent to a Martial Artist at the first layer of Interior Refinement, which was within his range of dealing with.

After all, at this moment, Song Fulu possessed a strength of over 800 kilograms with every movement, a speed of about 20 meters per second, and a reaction speed that surpassed many Martial Artists at the first layer of Interior Refinement. Even if he fought head-on with a Martial Artist at the first layer of Interior Refinement, it would be enough.

He also had advantages in terms of weapons, poison powder, and so on. Dealing with the Green Wind Wolf was not too difficult.

After considering it for a while, Song Fulu decided to give it a try. Even if he failed, with his already perfected Basic Movement Technique, it would be easy for him to escape.

For safety, Song Fulu put on several pieces of stone bullhide armor that he had prepared long ago. The armor was mixed with fifty refined steel, tightly wrapping himself up. He even wore a steel helmet mixed with fifty refined steel on his head, fully armed. Taking advantage of the night, he quietly left Stone Bull Village and arrived at the outskirts of Stone Bull Mountain.

Song Fulu did not actively seek out the Green Wind Wolf, but instead hid in a forest where the Green Wind Wolf often appeared, waiting for its arrival and preparing to ambush it.

Fifty-refined Goose Feather Knife, fifty-refined steel bow, fifty-refined arrows, fifty-refined poison needles, fifty-refined poisoned dagger, fifty-refined crossbow... Carrying them at all times, hidden among the green leaves, only waiting for the appearance of the Green Wind Wolf.

This wait lasted for several days.

"Ah..."

Accompanied by a scream, a man from Stone Bull Village, several hundred meters away, was bitten in half by the suddenly leaping Green Wind Wolf and quickly devoured.

The man, named Qu Daxin, had come out to search for wild vegetables and fruits. His family had not eaten for several days, and they had already borrowed from everyone around them. Feeling embarrassed to continue borrowing, he went out with a glimmer of hope, taking advantage of the scorching midday sun, to find something for his family to eat.

Unexpectedly, he ran into the hunting Green Wind Wolf and was instantly killed.

Song Fulu did not make a move, watching helplessly as Qu Daxin was eaten by the Green Wind Wolf. Even if he had made a move, it would have been too late.

Hidden among the green leaves, with medicine applied to his body to avoid being detected by the Green Wind Wolf, Song Fulu quietly drew his bow and prepared to shoot when the Green Wind Wolf approached.

Two days ago, Song Fulu had encountered this Green Wind Wolf, but because the distance was too far, he did not have confidence in hitting it, so he had to give up. Today was the second time he encountered the Green Wind Wolf.

This Green Wind Wolf was over two meters long and over one meter tall, entirely green in color, able to move with the wind, and astonishingly fast. Even Song Fulu, who had perfected the Basic Movement Technique, could not match its speed.

After devouring Qu Daxin from Stone Bull Village, the Green Wind Wolf did not immediately leave, but instead circled around the foot of the mountain near Stone Bull Village, searching for its next target, slowly approaching Song Fulu.

Song Fulu held his breath and focused, waiting for the Green Wind Wolf to approach. The distance between the two sides gradually shortened: three hundred meters... two hundred and eighty meters... two hundred and fifty meters... two hundred meters...

The Green Wind Wolf did not discover Song Fulu, who had been hiding for a long time. Cruel light shot from its green eyes, coldly staring in the direction of Stone Bull Village, waiting for its target to appear.

After an unknown amount of time, the Green Wind Wolf was only one hundred meters away from Song Fulu.

"Whoosh..."

The bowstring had silently been drawn to its limit, and the fifty-refined arrow suddenly shot out, making a sound as it broke through the air, instantly appearing in front of the Green Wind Wolf. The bow was like a thunderbolt, the string startling.

No matter how fast the Green Wind Wolf was, it couldn't catch up to the powerful bow that shot out with over eight hundred jin of force, especially when it was an ambush.

"Chi..."

The arrow directly pierced the right eye of the Green Wind Wolf, and the unimaginable pain caused it to let out a piercing scream: "Aoo..."

Immediately, to Song Fulu's astonishment, the Green Wind Wolf did not retreat but instead charged fiercely towards him.

In just a few seconds, it had already crossed the distance of over one hundred meters.
