Bloody Emperor - Chapter 26 Through the Mountains part 2

“ARH-WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

A loud, long howl of what probably was a wolf sounded in the peaceful night just over some miles from Nero’s camp. Then after that louder howl came other, slightly weaker howls.

“SHIT! FUCK!! DAMN!!!”

Nero was very upset. He had been running for more than half an hour but could not get rid of the wolves that were chasing him. Maybe it was time to run to the camp and ask for help. Nero was really upset about having to ask for help. But he couldn’t even count how many wolves in the Martial Warrior Realm were after him now.

“You jerk! I told you it was going to suck!”

Sarah was almost sick with worry even though she was a spirit. She couldn’t help but blame Nero for being reckless.

About half an hour before.

“Can you find out anything else about the sound?”

Sarah asked Nero about the animal sound he heard as they went towards the sound.

“It was like a dog walking and smelling. Now it’s going away, so I have to increase my speed, so it doesn’t run.”

Nero was really enjoying his senses, being so much more potent after he reached the fourth layer. His strength, and especially the speed, also had significant improvements. Now that he heard that dog-like animal, he was eager to test his power improvement.

“It is probably a wild wolf. You have to be careful as wolves can be weak on their own, but they usually go in packs, and that makes them a serious threat.”

Sarah could feel a certain amount of cultivation with her spiritual sense that even though it was fragile could still be useful. If Nero got close enough to the wolf, she could tell if it would be dangerous or not. But Sarah was afraid that a wolf would not walk alone except in rare cases.

“Okay, I’m just hearing one of them.”

Nero kept running, and in a few seconds, he could see a wolf walking towards the top of the mountain. The wolf was almost two meters long and nearly one meter high. It was a huge wolf compared to those on Earth. Its fur was black onyx, and he was sniffing the ground as if it were tracking some prey.

“It is in the first layer of Martial Warrior Realm. Even if you can defeat it quickly, I think it is better not to go against it because if others appear with the same strength, you can get in trouble.”

Sarah was sure that Nero could defeat someone in the early-stage of the Martial Warrior, but she feared that other wolves would appear. Sarah’s thought was always to be cautious, but Nero was sometimes very impulsive.

“I do not hear any sounds other than the wind and insects in a mile. It must be safe to fight this wolf, and if more appear, I can just run.”

Nero was not very confident in his strength, but his speed was another story. His main attribute was certainly speed and senses, but even that has its limits.

Nero ran towards the wolf with the Qi Guardian gauntlet formed ready for action. Sarah could only roll her eyes at Red World for Nero’s recklessness.

*Clang*

When Nero was about to hit the wolf from behind in a surprise attack, the wolf turned and blocked the grip that Nero tried to make with the gauntlet with its teeth making a sound of metal colliding with another metal because the wolf’s teeth were really hard.

“Too slow!”

Nero had not used all his speed because he wanted to test his whole body, so when the wolf blocked his gauntlet, he used the wolf as an impulse to throw his legs high in an attempt to kick from top to bottom as if falling from the sky.

The wolf was unable to dodge because Nero used more speed, so the wolf was kicked in the head, making a whining sound and trying to run from Nero, who fell standing two meters from it after the move.

When Nero realized that the wolf was trying to escape, he gave a sinister smile and ran after the poor wolf. Even injured, the wolf was very fast running with its four super strong legs. The wound it had was on the head, not preventing
