Luring and Killing

The little golden bull ran a few minutes in the woods with Xia Feng on its back, and reached a cliff.

"Xia Feng, look, the werewolf tribe is right up ahead."

The little golden bull raised its hoof and pointed forward. It had learned Xia Feng's name during the previous communication.

Xia Feng had seen it without the bull's cue.

That was the only area with buildings in the vast prairie. It couldn't be more eye-catching.

The cliff was too far away from the werewolf tribe. Even with Xia Feng's eyesight, he couldn't see things clearly. All he could see were some vaguely moving shapes.

Xia Feng turned around, and asked, "Can we get any closer?"

The little golden bull slightly shook its head.

Frowning, Xia Feng stared at the werewolf tribe, deep in thought.

A moment later, a large batch of werewolves came out of the tribe.

"Where are they going?" Xia Feng's eyes glittered when he saw that.

"They're going hunting," replied the little golden bull.

"So, they're the hunters among werewolves." Xia Feng scratched his chin, and said to the little golden bull, "Have you tried attacking their hunters?"

"We have, but we're too loud when we're running. The cunning werewolves notice us early every time." The little golden bull soon gave an answer.

Xia Feng thought for a moment, and gave up the idea of ambush.

Bulls could only deal damage in a head-on clash with charging. They weren't cut for ambushes.

Massaging his temples, Xia Feng thought quickly, and came up with another plan.

"Is there a vast canyon in this area?"

The little bull tilted its head and looked at Xia Feng before it pointed at the right side of the cliff, and said, "You mean like this one?"

Xia Feng moved quickly to the right side of the cliff.

Very soon, he saw a huge canyon.

The canyon was quite spacious and surrounded by steep mountains hundreds of meters tall on three sides.

Its only entrance was about 300 meters from the edge of the forest.

The entrance of the canyon was 100 meters long and 10 meters wide. It was perfect for Xia Feng's plan.

"This is the place."

Xia Feng confirmed the location, and informed the little golden bull of his plan.

After hearing the plan, the little golden bull left the cliff, and carried it out without hesitation.

Xia Feng stayed on the cliff to observe the werewolf hunters. He also opened the trade menu.

He searched for gunpowder, and found several people who were selling it.

They were mostly demanding materials and food in return. Xia Feng bought all of their stock, which was 26 portions of gunpowder.

Then, Xia Feng opened the craft menu, and crafted another two spiritual bombs, however reluctantly.

No pain, no gain. Xia Feng was hoping to score an SSS rating this time.

[System notification: Gunpowder -12, Iron -8, Bronze -16, Source Crystal -4, Fire Spiritual Rune -32, Earth Spiritual Rune -16]

Feeling insecure, Xia Feng opened the channel of the Xia Alliance and pinged everybody.

"Does any of you have Fire Spiritual Runes? I need nine. I can exchange the spiritual runes of other classes for them."

Soon after he sent the message, a system notification popped up.

[System notification: Lin Feifan has offered you 5 Fire Spiritual Runes.]

This kid.

Xia Feng was more or less touched. He sent a screenshot of the two foreigners' equipment to him in the private channel.

"What equipment do you want?"

"Boss, do you not need any of that equipment?" Lin Feifan soon replied.

"I looted it from two foreigners. It's not good enough for me," Xia Feng spoke bluntly.

"Very well. I'd like the Exquisite Spiritual Bow." Lin Feifan didn't refuse it.

Xia Feng simply offered the equipment.

[System notification: Exquisite Spiritual Crossbow -1]

"Thank you, Boss." Lin Feifan was enthused to receive the crossbow which further increased his combat ability. He was not far away from the top.

"Okay, time to increase your combat ability."

Hardly had Xia Feng ended the conversation with Lin Feifan when he received a few more private messages.

The other four members of the Xia Alliance told Xia Feng the number of Fire Spiritual Runes they had, and what class of spiritual runes they wanted in return.

After bartering with them, Xia Feng acquired 27 Fire Spiritual Runes in total.

Correspondingly, he gave away 12 Water Spiritual Runes, eight Water Spiritual Runes, and two Earth Spiritual Runes.

Xia Feng made another spiritual bomb.

Four spiritual bombs should be enough. After all, the bombs were Rare, and should be very powerful.

15 minutes later, the little golden bull reached the cliff with the herd.

Xia Feng asked Big Black to keep an eye on the werewolf hunters, while he led the herd to the entrance of the canyon.

He gave a strange order, which was to let the bulls poop while they moved towards the werewolf hunters.

He didn't let them stop until they had pooped for hundreds of meters.

Then, Xia Feng asked some of the golden bulls to hide themselves beyond the canyon, and let only 10 of them stay inside the canyon.

After the herd was set, Xia Feng found several vines, and tied them to the rings on the bombs. He then buried the bombs in the canyon.

When everything was set up, Xia Feng led the little golden bull away from the canyon, and ran to the werewolf hunters.

***

Half an hour later, in an unknown forest, the little golden bull was chasing Big Black in the woods, stained with blood.

One of the tall hunters among the werewolves pointed at the little golden bull, and excitedly shouted, "Captain, look, it's the little golden bull, the leader of the Golden Herd."

"Where is it?" The captain of the hunting team instantly looked over.

Its eyes widened the moment it saw the little golden bull.

"It's really the little golden bull! We must be truly blessed! Everybody, catch the little golden bull!"

While giving the order, the captain lunged at the little golden bull ferociously.

They didn't have to be afraid of the bulls at all in the woods. Besides, the little golden bull was alone.

Their main target was to look for the little golden bull. Hunting was their secondary purpose.

As long as they caught the little gold bull, and fetched its blood for their chief, their chief would grow much stronger, and could lead their tribe to unite this island.

The little golden bull, which was pretending to chase Big Black, noticed the werewolves immediately.

It instantly turned around, and quickly directed the werewolves to the canyon.

The werewolves chased it without thinking. They had nothing to worry about in the woods even if they were faced with the herd.

Just like that, 100 werewolves were attracted to the canyon by the little golden bull.

The little golden bull was so fast that its golden fur seemed to be glittering when it was running at full speed.

It quickly lured the werewolf hunters to the edge of the canyon.

"Captain, there are a lot of bull feces here." Behind the little golden bull, a werewolf pointed at the ground after accidentally stepping on the bull feces.

"It means that we're approaching them. Everybody, hurry up! We have to catch the little golden bull, got it?" the captain commanded loudly.

Then, the werewolf hunters continued rushing, and came to the canyon.

They were excited to see the little golden bull inside the canyon with only a dozen other bulls.

"Brothers, charge!"

The captain initiated the charge with bloodshot eyes.

At that moment, it could see the picture where the little golden bull was caught alive.

It never occurred to the werewolf captain that this could be a trap.

Based on what happened in the past half year, the golden bulls had more brawn than brains.

They could only charge in head-on clashes, and they didn't know how to devise traps.

It was also why the werewolf chief had dared to send a team to hunt the little golden bull.

Those stupid bulls were destined to be their prey.

However, the werewolves miscalculated.

While the bulls didn't know anything about traps, they had a human supporter.

Human beings were better than any beast in terms of cunningness.

Therefore, the werewolves' tragic ending was inevitable.

100 werewolves howled and eagerly rushed into the canyon.

Then…

BOOM!

…four mushroom clouds rose to the sky.

At the same time, the werewolves in the base several kilometers away heard the explosion that was louder than thunder too.
