Yi Qingfeng looked at the prompt messages refreshing across his retina.

He could not help but touch his neck.

Direwolves, once they piled up to a certain number, really were fiercer than things like goblins…

Yi Qingfeng now understood:

Why these direwolves hadn’t been thrown at him during the boss fight.

If, while he was fighting the Wolf King in a bloody battle, these crafty fellows had still been assisting from the side,

his first bout of soul weakness would have been left right here…

In truth, Yi Qingfeng had thought he was done for.

A wolf pack of this size seemed, for the current him, even harder to deal with than a boss monster of the same level.

Although Most Sacred Slash could finish off a direwolf in one strike,

these agile beasts, filled with hunting wisdom, would not swarm him all at once like goblins.

They would circle around him, coordinating and fighting together.

And compared to wolf packs in Earth OL:

These beasts, more or less steeped in extraordinary power, were not affected by so-called “battle losses.”

They would fight to the very last member.

After taking down more than half the wolf pack, Yi Qingfeng had grown somewhat unable to sustain himself.

The remaining direwolves naturally would not give him time to rest and recover.

After another signature coordinated charge from the wolf pack, one direwolf clamped firmly onto Yi Qingfeng’s neck.

In that instant, he could clearly hear the brittle cracking sound of his own neck being torn by the direwolf’s bite.

And at that moment, the HP on the Comprehensive Network panel locked at 1%…

The terror of being on the verge of death made Yi Qingfeng feel that his heartbeat at that moment must have exceeded the limit…

He sat in his chair for a while, waiting for his life to slowly recover.

Fear?

Confusion?

At this moment, as his body gradually broke free of weakness along with the slow restoration of his life,

what he felt was only a little regret and reflection over failing to wipe out the enemy completely…

There are still too many areas that need improvement…

Yi Qingfeng thought so.

As for the mechanism under his current Comprehensive Network version number, which allowed him to be teleported out and spared from death after completing an apprentice instance’s objective,

it gave Yi Qingfeng some ideas.

Among his mob talents, there was a sub-talent related to boss monster intrusions.

Looking at it this way:

Perhaps he could first clear the instance’s basic objective,

then challenge some higher-difficulty extra content?

Afterward, Yi Qingfeng opened the Comprehensive Network panel and began sorting through his gains this time.

A boss monster plus extra monster packs.

Although in the end, he had not managed to eliminate all the direwolves,

he had still pushed the instance’s total Slaughter EXP up to a rather enormous figure.

Even his Comprehensive Network Disaster Coins had reached a tremendous 500-plus.

If he could purchase instance invitations at the price of 100 Comprehensive Network Disaster Coins each,

wouldn’t that mean directly obtaining five instances?

Yi Qingfeng thought with great satisfaction.

He began looking forward to tomorrow’s trading section…

And aside from these basic gains,

Yi Qingfeng also discovered that although bosses below level 5 did not count toward the rewards for bloodline advancement,

they would be included in the elite progress of Blood-Red Sublimation.

And as a boss, the Wolf King had also provided him with a new bloodline template option:

Lesser Storm Wolf?

Looking at this bloodline module that was entirely focused on agility,

Yi Qingfeng thought about it and, for the time being, did not plan to switch.

The mobility and explosive power brought by Boar Charge were still extremely useful.

Although its upper limit was definitely somewhat weaker than this advanceable bloodline module,

for his extraordinary class,

bloodline modules were more like plug-ins that could be flexibly swapped out.

Although he still could not perform real-time “stance changes” during combat,

it was absolutely enough for tackling daily instances at the moment.

Aside from these, the Wolf King had also dropped a purple-quality accessory:

Fang of the Wild:

Equipment Type: Accessory

Equipment Quality: Purple

Equipment Level: Level 2

Equipment Durability: 5/5

Equipment Effects:

1. Power of the Wild:

This equipment can provide the character with an additional +1 Agility (effective cap: 15).

When the character launches an attack, there is a chance to trigger Call of the Wild (lasts 5 seconds/attack +2 additional).

It was a pendant shaped like a fang.

As far as Yi Qingfeng was concerned, he had never liked hanging little odds and ends on himself.

Of course, if it could increase his basic attributes,

then there would be nothing to hesitate over…

In this regard, Yi Qingfeng had always been practical.

A pity no helmet dropped…

Come to think of it, if his motorcycle helmet were still around,

how would that direwolf have managed to lock onto his throat at the end?

Only after experiencing close-quarters slaughter for himself did Yi Qingfeng realize the importance and real combat strength of such a thing.

But it was no problem:

This thing was sold in town.

And his riot gear set was almost here.

Although the breastplate inside would no longer be of use,

the helmet and gloves would perfectly fill his current gaps.

And finally, there was this ticket related to Abyss difficulty:

The Wolf King’s Cordial Invitation:

Item Type: Abyss-Difficulty Instance Challenge Letter

Corresponding Instance: Camp Deep in the Forest/Escaped Direwolves, etc.

Instance Challenge Difficulty: Level 5+

Instance Monsters: Storm Wolf King (Level 5 Large Boss), large numbers of direwolves

Abyss-Limited Drops: Rare—Storm Wolf King’s Reins (Large Mount), Storm Wolf King’s Acknowledgment (Apprentice Epic Weapon Selection)

Instance Description:

Your strength and wisdom have earned the Wolf King’s acknowledgment.

It cordially invites you to step onto this wild and cruel stage of the wilderness.

And it, too, will face you in a life-and-death duel in its prime state…

…………

…………

Level 5 large boss?

Yi Qingfeng thought about it and temporarily set it aside in his item backpack.

This was clearly not something the current him could challenge.

He did not know exactly how strong a level 5 large boss was.

But did he not know about the weakened version he had just fought a bloody battle against?

Fortunately, the Slaughter EXP from this time was enough. He could raise his class level now…

Give me some monthly tickets!

P.S. The Comprehensive Network is calling!
