=========
Although he didn't know if these Brown-Furred Wolves were here because they saw the Red Nightmare Horse or they were attracted by the fragrance of the roasted meat, all of that didn't matter anymore.
Zhang Ye only knew that after killing these hundred-plus two-star Brown-Furred Wolves, he would be much closer to collect stamina pill to help him advancing into a level 4 magician.
Really, everything was working in his favor!
Previously he was still troubled over finding another species that gathered in groups after letting the herd of elephorses go. Unexpectedly, another prey appeared immediately afterwards to supply him with experience. Zhang Ye nearly laughed out loud from this.
However, these Brown-Furred Wolves were obviously afraid of the fire. Although their green eyes were staring at Zhang Ye's side, they didn't take the initiative to launch an offense immediately.
Instead, the Red Nightmare Horse to the side became their number one target.
Following Hanxue's fearful cry, a few Browned-Furred Wolves immediately separated from the wolf pack and pounced at Hanxue, grunting lowly.
Despite the fact that Hanxue was a one-star Commander-quality beast, his strong suit didn't lie in attacking. Facing the encirclement of several of his natural predator, he let out a long neigh in fear, and ran towards Zhang Ye like a bolt of lightning to take cover.
"Hey, you're a Commander-quality exotic beast. Can't you bring out your dignity?" Zhang Ye felt a little at a loss for words, seeing Hanxue running towards him.
This fellow was good in everything other than his offensive capabilities. It seemed like there wouldn't be any use for him in the future, other than using him as a mount.
Hanxue didn't care about Zhang Ye's mocking. He looked at Zhang Ye pitifully, as if he was saying,'If our enemies are too great in number and your weak. It's better for us to run. Let's quickly escape!'
"Useless fellow. There are so many delicious prey right in front of me. How could I give up on them just like that? Why don't you run by yourself first, and come back when I'm done with these wolves?" Hanxue turned to look at the wolves surrounding them in all directions. He let out a few low neighs and suddenly turned into a pocket size horse, entering Zhang Ye's pet bag.
"The heck, what is this!?" Zhang Ye freaked out. He was caught unprepared, nearly jumping off the ground.
Hanxue was merely his pet, not his subdued beast. How was it possible for him to enter his pet bag?
Suppressing his astonishment, Zhang Ye immediately looked into his Pet Bag, and he saw a small horse relaxing.
It didn't have to be said that the small horse was naturally Hanxue.
Alright, Zhang Ye understood the situation. All of this must be the work of the pet crest. He was glad to see this happening.
First, he didn't have to worry about Hanxue's safety in the future. Second, even if that fellow got hurt by accident, he could still return to pet bag to recuperate. Third, since Hanxue could devour the golden light emiting from the pet crest, there was surely a chance of him advancing in quality in the future.
He felt excited just thinking about it. 'What quality is above comander tier?' Although Zhang Ye didn't have an answer for that, even a dummy knew that it would be much better than Comander-quality.
"Awoooo!"
Just as Zhang Ye was focused on his inner world and was wearing a faint smile on his face, the leader of the wolf pack finally couldn't hold it in anymore and raised its head, giving the order to attack. The Brown-Furred Wolves from all sides no longer cared about their fear of the bonfire and pounced at Zhang Ye.
"Heh, I'm not even in a hurry, and yet you are! Since you're adamant on dying, I'll grant your wishes!" Zhang Ye remained calm. With a wave of his hand, light beam shot at them. At the same time, he ready his sword.
These Brown-Furred Wolves were only two-star bronze-quality exotic beasts. How could they possibly resist the light beam?
The pitiful wolf pack had never seen such a scary offensive method it was like a rain shower of light beam. Their ferocity fell greatly, no longer interested in attacking Zhang Ye.
However, the miserable Brown-Furred Wolves had no idea that an even more horrifying attack was about to befall them.
Zhang Ye stood by the bonfire with a relaxed expression,waving his hand shoting the pitiful wolf, fending off the attacks of several Grassland Brown-Furred Wolves, allowing him to oversee the entire battle peacefully, in search of the location where the wolves were most densely packed.
Looking over, Zhang Ye quickly discovered the location where the wolf pack was most concentrated was where the extraordinarily large wolf was at.
Pointing his sword at the alpha wolf, Zhang Ye activated the Black Blade Art attack without any hesitation.
Black Blade Brandish/One Flash (Kokutō Issen)< Swings the blade to launch an invisible Flying Slash Attack, which is able to cut everything in his path>
Invisible Flying Slash immediately spread out, and the wolves in front of him immediately fell down in a fan shape, their miserable cries ringing out ceaselessly.
The alpha wolf held on strong, however. After being struck by the attack, a few trails of blood trickled out of its seven orifices. It let out a mournful howl and turned around, leading the remaining fraction of wolves to escape into the grasslands.
Seeing this, Zhang Ye revealed a smirk on his face. He wave his hand and use Goro Goro No Mi skill chain Lightning.
Chain Lightning Hurls a bolt of lightning that leaps through nearby enemy units.
Chain Lightning skill was the one at level 2 Lightning Mage skill. Because it was a low level skill this skill only paralyzed the enemy. The lightning bounce to the woves pact, and the half remaining wolves fell over paralize. Over half of them even turned into rays of light immediately, directly killed by chain lightning.
"Congratulations, get one Stamina Pill's pieces!"
"Congratulations, get one Stamina Pill's pieces!"
"Congratulations, get one Stamina Pill's pieces!"
"Congratulations, get one Stamina Pill's pieces!"
"Congratulations, get one Martial Arts pieces!"
"Congratulations, get one Weapon pieces!"
"Congratulations, get one Stamina Pill's pieces!"
"Congratulations, get one Haki pieces!"
In just the short span of several minutes, the wolf pack that numbered over a hundred was killed or paralyzed, just like that!
What's left was only for Zhang Ye to deal grind more piece to the Brown-Furred Wolves that were rendered immobile, and this perfect counterattack would come to an end.
"At least twenty monster core dropped. Although the Brown-Furred Wolf's strength isn't anything impressive, it will allow me to collect more stamina pill!" Zhang Ye quickly walked over to where the fallen wolves were at. his fist is constantly falling on it he use Goro Goro No Mi to make his punch faster, and the Brown-Furred Wolves turned into streaks of light one after another.
Soon, Zhang Ye looked at the stack of two-star bronze-quality monster core in his hand and check his system he was dumbfounded what he see. Finally unable to hold it in, Zhang Ye let out a hearty laugh.

'So im level 3 mage and level 4 warrior now that i have system status i can easly check my own level'
Seeing the amount of stamina pill he have ,Zhnag Ye need to start train his Devil Fruit ability
'Before that i need to take my dinner'
Only went on for less than three seconds before it came to an abrupt stop. He saw the black mass hanging over the bonfire, on the verge of tears. "My freaking dinner… It's actually burned. How am I supposed to eat it…"
...........
In the end, Zhang Ye still didn't get to eat a meal of piping hot roasted meat.
When the wolf pack attacked, the bonfire was burning strong.
By the time all of the Brown-Furred Wolves were killed, at least twenty minutes had passed, and the meat above the bonfire was burnt to a char.
"Forget it. I don't have salt and other seasoning this time, anyway. There's probably not much flavor just eating it like that." Zhang Ye could only console himself this way, looking at the block of burnt meat above the bonfire.
However, it was really vexing!
A meal was delayed just like that; even obtaining the twenty-odd monster core didn't feel so exciting anymore.
The night gradually arrived. The helpless Zhang Ye could only eat compressed biscuits along with clear water in the end. As he chewed on it with his brow knitted, he consoled himself inwardly, 'When I bring the seasonings next time, I can find some weak exotic beast and get Hanxue to kick it to death. That way I'll be able to eat delicious roasted meat.'
After finishing his disappointing dinner, Zhang Ye pitched his tent by the bonfire. The sky was fully dark by then.
...........
This place was deep into the beast world. For safety's sake, Zhang Ye even he have Observation Haki he still summoned Hanxue to guarding around the tent.This fellow had acute senses for danger; it would be stupid not to use him as a sentry.
After staying in Zhang Ye's Pet Bag for over an hour and having a good meal, Hanxue was very unsatisfied with Zhang Ye for forcefully kicking him out.
Hanxue's mood turned for the better only when Zhang Ye successful scam the poor horse.
...........
At midnight, Zhang Ye was deep in sleep when Hanxue's restless low neigh suddenly rang out from outside. Zhang Ye was jolted awake and quickly sat up, hurriedly putting on his shoes, and came out to take a look. However, he didn't discover anything amiss.
Obviously there weren't any signs of danger.
However, Hanxue was clearly upset. It immediately came running with short strides to Zhang Ye after seeing him, whimpering. "Oh you little… What happened? Could there be some exotic beasts around us in hiding?"
Seeing Hanxue acting so distressed, Zhang Ye turned nervous, too.
After all, this guy had a sharper sense for danger. Did it really sense some danger approaching them that he cant?
At Zhang Ye's questioning, Hanxue blinked repeatedly and shook his head, looking up at the night sky from time to time. "You mean, some aerial beast just flew by?"
Zhang Ye went to full alert. If it truly was so, then it would be troublesome…
No matter how powerful the exotic beasts on land were, he could rely on Hanxue's exceptional speed to escape. But if the danger was from the sky, facing those aerial beasts with astonishing speed, how was he supposed to escape successfully?
A suffocating sense of crisis suddenly loomed over Zhang Ye's heart, bringing panic with it. He felt that the sky was filled with the presence of an unseen enemy.
However, Hanxue's reaction left Zhang Ye even more confused.
Seeing Zhang Ye not understanding what it was trying to convey, Hanxue decided to bite on the corner on Zhang Ye's clothes, and it started walking in the direction the foot of the mountain range extended toward.
"You're telling me to quickly hide into the mountains?" Although its master still didn't understand exactly what it was trying to convey, at least he understood his intention. Hanxue immediately nodded profusely.
Zhang Ye seemed to understand now. Hanxue was saying that it was more dangerous if they stayed here, and they needed to hide in the mountains?
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Ye decided to trust in Hanxue's senses. He immediately turned around and stowed his tent, stuffing it into his Storage Ring.
Seeing the anxiety on Hanxue's face becoming more apparent, he quickly flipped himself over Hanxue's back. "Come on, go to a place where you feel safe."
"Xilvlv…" Hanxue immediately let out a long neigh and started galloping at top speed.
From the very start, Hanxue's speed erupted to the limit, running along the mountain's foot like a bolt of lightning.
Zhang Ye noticed the severity of the matter from Hanxue's actions. He leaned forward on his mount's back, his brow tightly knitted, thinking about what possible danger was upon them.
Hanxue had probably come by this area in the past. It was rather familiar with the topography here, and took no time at all to run to the entrance of a narrow gap between two mountains, lowering its speed.
'Does this fellow want to bring me in here?- Looking at the dark, narrow slit in front of him, Zhang Ye couldn't help but feel conflicted. It was so freaking dark in there; who knew what danger lay beyond?'
Right at this moment, the sky suddenly lit up, as if it was daytime.
Using that light, Zhang Ye saw a little of what was in the narrow ravine in that split second.
In the time it took for a spark to ignite, Zhang Ye only managed to see that the ravine seemed to extend up towards the mountain. It was unlike what he had imagined, that it would be a bottomless abyss.
"Honglonglong…"
A few breaths after the light faded, the rumblings of thunder were heard. The entire world seemed to be shaking along to the rumblings.
'Is a storm approaching?' Zhang Ye couldn't resist turning back to take a look. He saw silver snakes of lightning dancing in the sky, the brilliant light stung his eyes, forcing him to close his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, an unending wave of thunder rang out, like the concentrated firing of cannons, nearing causing Zhang Ye to lose his hearing. 'The force of nature on this side of the gate is actually this horrifying!'
