Thump!

Lu An leaped down from the tree, his eyes narrowing as he looked at the black marks on the ground, then turned and continued to rush up the mountain.

With the flame by his side, Lu An felt a little more confident. To prevent not having a flame to use in a hurry, he kept a flame lit in his hand the entire way, just in case.

After the previous attack, Lu An miraculously didn't encounter any other wild beasts. After running continuously, around one o'clock in the night, he had reached a place where he could see the mountaintop.

At this time, the dark clouds had slowly dispersed, and the moon in the sky was exceptionally bright. Lu An was a bit tired from his frantic run, especially having to constantly maintain the flame in his hand, which made him, who was not very abundant in Destiny Wheel power, even more exhausted.

Suddenly, Lu An's eyes widened, his body tensed, and he quickly hid behind a large tree! Then he slowly poked his head out and looked towards the mountaintop!

On the prominent boulder at the mountaintop, a massive wolf stood in the moonlight, pressing a constantly struggling large green bird with its claws.

When Lu An saw this wolf, he instantly frowned!

This wolf looked exactly like the wolf that killed his parents that day, only its size was twice as large; it was probably an adult Snow Wolf!

It was a true Rank One Strange Beast!

Although Lu An recognized the Snow Wolf, he didn't know the Snow Wolf's abilities. In fact, an ordinary Rank One Snow Wolf has no special abilities; it just far surpasses ordinary wolves in speed and strength. Especially its fangs; even adult tigers are as weak as kittens in front of a Snow Wolf.

A hint of Killing Intent appeared in Lu An's eyes. Because of his parents' death, he had extreme hostility towards the ferocious Snow Wolf species. But he wasn't impulsive; instead, he took a deep breath, looking at the large green bird struggling under the Snow Wolf's claws.

The large green bird's wings were both pinned down by the Snow Wolf, its sharp wolf claws deeply embedded in its wings, blood gushing onto the ground. The green bird struggled incessantly, letting out piercing wails.

Suddenly, Lu An's eyes widened, staring intently beneath the green bird's feathers. As its wings flapped continuously, he saw a brown waterskin right there on the boulder!

Taking a deep breath, Lu An tried to calm himself down. He looked at the Snow Wolf and the green bird. It was clear that the Snow Wolf had the absolute upper hand, and it was only a matter of time before the green bird was killed. After the Snow Wolf killed the green bird, it would at most enjoy a delicious meal and then probably leave. At that time, he could go to the boulder to retrieve the waterskin, then go down the mountain and return to the academy, which would be enough time!

It's just that...

Lu An frowned, looking at the struggling large green bird, listening to the mournful cries coming from its mouth, and a surge of Killing Intent couldn't help but rise in his heart!

This scene reminded him of the day his parents died at the hands of the Snow Wolf. He saw the Killing Intent in his eyes growing stronger and stronger, then he took a deep breath!

Kill the Snow Wolf! Then take the waterskin!

Lu An immediately made up his mind! He looked at the Snow Wolf on the distant mountaintop, which appeared exceptionally large in the moonlight. With a body length of five meters, Lu An knew he absolutely could not be careless!

The Snow Wolf was, after all, a true Rank One Strange Beast, and although he could release his Destiny Wheel, he was at most a Rank One Sky Realm. There was a whole Rank difference between them. To kill this Snow Wolf, he had to be fully prepared!

Lu An calculated the distance. Based on his previous flame throw, he absolutely could not throw a flame onto the Snow Wolf from here. If he wanted to hit it, he had to get within ten meters.

Thinking of this, Lu An quietly moved, inching closer to the boulder. In fact, a Snow Wolf's vigilance should have allowed it to detect Lu An's presence, but at this moment, the Snow Wolf was busy subduing the green bird under its claws, and the green bird was also constantly roaring, which prevented it from noticing its surroundings.

Soon, after Lu An's almost silent advance, he reached a spot about twenty meters from the boulder. But at this point, there were no more large trees for him to hide behind; the mountaintop was an open space. If he wanted to reach the ten-meter mark, he would have to expose himself to the moonlight!

Lu An's eyes were grave as he looked at the huge Snow Wolf in the distance, tearing and howling. One of its legs was taller and thicker than Lu An! Lu An couldn't help but gasp, his eyes growing calmer, and he gritted his teeth as he slowly stepped out from behind the tree.

Wolves have extremely strong vigilance; Lu An knew this very well. Even though this Snow Wolf was currently confronting the green bird, he had to be extremely careful and cautious.

Not daring to breathe loudly, and stepping as lightly as possible, Lu An moved forward slowly, step by step.

Closer.

Even closer.

It took a full half-minute for Lu An to move eight meters forward. He held his breath, and a red flame gradually rose in his hand.

And just at that moment, Lu An's forward steps suddenly halted, his body freezing in place, unmoving!

Lu An swallowed hard, his eyes wide as he looked at the tall Snow Wolf more than ten meters away. He saw that the Snow Wolf was now looking back, its ferocious eyes staring down at him!

"Run!" Lu An shouted inwardly, and he didn't hesitate, turning and running! When the Snow Wolf saw a weak human daring to appear behind it, it immediately let out a long howl to the sky, instantly let go of the green bird, turned, and pounced towards the weak human!

Bang!!

Accompanied by a loud noise, Lu An suddenly found the ground beneath his feet covered by darkness! He turned his head sharply and saw that the huge Snow Wolf had actually leaped into the air, pouncing towards him!

Within ten meters!

Lu An's heart tightened. He suppressed his fear, gritted his teeth, turned sharply, and flung the flame in his hand towards the sky!

Whoosh!

The flame instantly shot towards the Snow Wolf. Lu An ran while staring intently at the flame. He also really wanted to see if his flame could kill this Snow Wolf!

Swish!

In Lu An's widened eyes, he saw the Snow Wolf's massive body actually twist in mid-air, dodging the flame!

So fast!

Lu An's heart tightened, and he frantically plunged into the forest! The Snow Wolf, delayed for a second by the flame, landed on the ground and quickly rushed towards Lu An!

The Snow Wolf's huge eyes emitted a cold light. In its eyes, this weak human was no match, and the green bird's wings were injured and unable to fly, so it was in no hurry.

After Lu An entered the forest, the Snow Wolf followed closely. However, the trees in the forest were dense. Lu An was running frantically, while the Snow Wolf directly knocked down everything in its path, its speed not decreasing at all. It was about to catch up to Lu An again!

Lu An fled, looking at the Snow Wolf behind him, and gritted his teeth, throwing out two more flames! The first flame was directly dodged by the Snow Wolf, but the second flame was thrown by Lu An in the direction the Snow Wolf was dodging. With the obstruction of the surrounding trees, this Snow Wolf might not be able to dodge it!

Indeed! Just as Lu An expected, the Snow Wolf, after knocking down a large tree to dodge the first flame, paused its body, and the second flame went straight for its neck, with no space to dodge!

Bang!

"It hit!" Lu An's heart filled with joy, but in the next second, his eyes widened!

He saw that the flame didn't hit the Snow Wolf's neck, but its raised paw! The flame was slapped away by its paw, hitting a large tree, which immediately burst into roaring flames!

However, a little flame still clung to its paw. He saw that the flame began to spread rapidly, covering more than half a meter of its paw in just a breath!

The Snow Wolf was clearly startled. It hadn't expected the flame to be so powerful. In a hurry, it suddenly landed on the ground, fiercely plunging its paw into the ground, a look of pain on its face!

"Awoo!!!"

The Snow Wolf howled, then pulled its completely buried paw out of the soil, only to see that the paw was bloody and mangled. Some places were even deep enough to see bone, a truly gruesome sight!

The Snow Wolf howled again, its voice filled with pain, but even more with rage! Its eyes flashed with fierce light, and it suddenly swung its other paw at the tree in front of it. With a 'crack', the tree instantly broke in half and flew straight towards Lu An!

Whoosh!

Lu An's eyes widened as he saw the huge tree flying towards him. He couldn't dodge at all; he could only lunge forward, covering his head with his hands, trying to minimize the damage!

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

In the dead of night, a violent sound erupted in the forest. When everything was calm, Lu An was seen lying under the dense tree trunks, covered in blood!

"Cough, cough!!"

Lu An coughed violently twice, blood gushing from his mouth and covering his face.

"Awoo!" The Snow Wolf didn't have time to catch its breath. It leaped up, its massive body soaring into the air, completely covering Lu An and the tree above. The Snow Wolf's fierce eyes met Lu An's, and then it pounced fiercely towards Lu An!

"Awoo!" With another long howl, the Snow Wolf's incredibly sharp claws pressed down towards Lu An.

At this moment, a fierce glint also appeared on Lu An's face. He used his last bit of strength to forcefully throw the Mystic Deep Cold Ice in his left hand into the air!

"Die!!" Lu An roared loudly. In an instant, a spear-like ice shard shot into the air, flying towards the Snow Wolf's lower jaw!

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

Another earth-shattering roar, scaring the wild beasts in the forest into shrinking their necks!
