The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 251 Hunting the White Wolf King and Tanning Leather Clothes

The grassland under the moonlight is like a patch of kelp in the ocean, swaying and undulating with the night breeze, creating an extremely poignant and beautiful scene.

Xu Xingchen jumped and stepped on the clouds, descending from the air. When he was still about 20 to 30 feet above the ground, a double magnetic ring appeared around him, which slowed down his falling speed until he finally landed gently on the ground.

After putting away the Yuanci Magic Ring, Xu Xingchen tapped his dizzy head with the scabbard of the sword, and checked the internal force in his dantian that was missing by half. He felt that he had been having too much fun and was a little careless.

Although this is a world of martial arts, human power is limited after all. No matter how exquisite his martial arts are, how can he really fly to the sky?

What's more, his true Qi has already returned to its original state, and he is no longer in the state of unity between man and nature. Even though his internal energy recovers much faster than that of ordinary people, it cannot keep up with the crazy output and consumption just now.

However, the exhilarating feeling of "walking on the clouds" still fascinated him and left a deep impression on him.

".The new form of the Cloud Escape Technique is really interesting. I will study it slowly in the future and try to develop more application modes."

"Who knows, one day, I might be able to fly into the sky and into the ground."

Putting away the endless reveries in his mind and feeling the cool summer breeze blowing across his body, Xu Xingchen took another step forward and soon came to an area of lush grass.

A strong smell of blood floated in the air, making people want to vomit.

Dozens of wild wolves surrounded a dozen antelopes lying on the ground, roaring and whimpering threateningly in their throats while tearing the flesh of their prey with all their might.

After a long period of tracking and hunting, they are enjoying a feast.

The arrival of an uninvited guest disturbed their feeding. They looked up at the hairless prey with alert and ferocious eyes.

Xu Xingchen's eyes swept across the dozens of wild wolves with gray fur, and finally landed on a group of white wolves that were gleaming silver in the moonlight.

The white wolf was obviously the king of this pack of wild wolves. Not only was its body stronger and taller than the other wolves, its fur was also much more beautiful.

As the alpha wolf, it had already enjoyed the delicious food first and was now lying on a nearby hill with its eyes closed and taking a nap. It was guarded by seven or eight wild wolf guards as big as calves, some of whom were sitting, some lying, some gazing into the distance, and some staring down at their fellow wolves who were eating the leftovers.

Xu Xingchen's arrival startled them. They all turned their heads to look at him, growling threateningly, and at the same time alerting their own alpha wolf.

"My lord, something's happening!"

Xu Xingchen didn't care what the wild wolves were communicating in wolf language. When he saw the white leader wolf, his eyes lit up and he immediately jumped up and went to the hill.

At that moment, the white wolf suddenly opened his sleepy eyes, and a cunning look flashed in his bright eyes.

Several wild wolves guarding the surroundings howled and pounced over. Each one was as fast as the wind, with sharp claws and fangs, determined to kill the hairless prey.

"I'll use you to test the power of my new body!"

Xu Xingchen muttered to himself, his steps light and nimble, dodging among the wolves that were rushing towards him like a gust of wind.

With one punch, the wolf's hard skull was shattered and half collapsed, and the corpse was thrown three feet away like a torn sack.

With one slap, another wild wolf's body sank deep into the grass. The places where it was hit had broken bones and flesh torn apart, and it died in a miserable way.

With a kick, the third wolf's body was like a high-speed spinning wheel, whizzing along the grass and rolling several feet away.

He stretched out his hand, grabbed the neck of the wild wolf that pounced on him, and swung it around like a mace, smashing the bodies of the other four wild wolves away with bangs.

These ferocious and cunning wolves were as fragile as a few chicks just hatched from their eggshells under Xu Xingchen's hands. They had no power to resist and were wiped out in no time.

At this time, the wolf king jumped up from the ground and let out a loud wolf howl towards the sky, summoning his men who were still eating meat to come and attack the prey quickly.

Unfortunately, its action was too late, or rather, Xu Xingchen acted too quickly and had already dealt with its guards when the wolf king's howling order was just issued.

So, when the wolf king finished howling and turned around to see his fellow guards lying on the ground, a look of surprise was clearly revealed in his highly spiritual eyes.

Before it could think of escaping, its eyes blurred and it saw the ugly, hairless prey blocking its way, looking at its body with a creepy look.

The next moment, it felt a pain in its forehead, its eyes went dark, and it lost all feeling.

He shattered the wolf king's brain with one palm and then grabbed its neck and lifted it up.

The wolves that were about to pounce saw their leader being killed by the terrifying hairless prey with one blow. They immediately whimpered, turned around, and ran away.

With a rustling sound, it quickly disappeared into the bushes in all directions. Xu Xingchen did not chase after the wild wolves. With the white wolf in his hand, he had a place to put his fur coat.

He was about to turn around and leave, but after thinking it over, he roughly peeled off the fur of the wild wolves he had killed and rolled them into a large bundle. Then he carried the wolf king's body and strode back to the barren mountain.

At the side of a stream, they carefully processed the wolf king's body, threw all the internal organs into the water, peeled off the skin and flesh cleanly, leaving only a large piece of white fur, which they rolled up and placed together with the furs of the gray wolves, ready to be taken back to the cave and slowly tanned.

As a result, as soon as he stepped into his cave, he was almost knocked down by the stench inside.

One reason was that his sense of smell had become more acute after his transformation; the other reason was that the stench inside was too pungent.

The reason why he was able to stay in there for so long was because of the principle that "if you smell the stench for a long time, you will not know its stench; if you smell the fragrance for a long time, you will not know its fragrance."

Now after a walk outside and coming back again, I can’t stand it anymore.

"Come to think of it, what on earth was that thing that wrapped around my body earlier?"

"I was so focused on experiencing the power and beauty of my new body that I forgot to look at those things."

After taking a deep breath outside and holding it, Xu Xingchen strode into the cave. He temporarily threw the wolfskin scroll in his right hand on the ground, opened his palm upwards, and a column of flame about a foot high rose up, illuminating the entire cave.

Coming to the stone bed, I looked at the messy pile of filth on it. There seemed to be blood, hair, and some white broken bones in it.

Xu Xingchen instinctively reacted that these filthy things should be the impurities and garbage excreted from his body, and were the by-products of his rebirth and marrow cleansing.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it seems that during the transformation, the changes in my body are so drastic that they are beyond my imagination."

"If I was still awake at the time, I don't know if I could have endured the endless pain caused by such a drastic change in my body."

He patted his chest with some fear, and the flame burning in his palm quickly turned into ice blue. He flipped his palm and pushed, and the filth on the stone bed was immediately frozen in crystal clear ice.

Then, the ice-blue flame disappeared, and he slapped his hand suddenly, instantly exploding the air and stirring up a violent gust of wind, which swept up the filth that was frozen on the stone bed and rushed out of the cave.

However, even with this treatment, the air in the cave could not return to normal for a while.

He could only carry the Dragon Slaying Sword and the Wolfskin Scroll and leave the cave again. After a dozen leaps and bounds, he reached the top of the mountain and lit a bonfire in a sparse woods.

"Tonight, I can be a savage without clothes, but tomorrow, I must be a civilized person with clothes on"

"So, tonight, we have to tan this fur."

Spread out the wolfskin rolls, put the wolf king's white fur aside, and practice with the gray wolfskins first. This is the purpose of Xu Xingchen bringing back those furs.

The process of tanning fur is complicated and time-consuming, and requires some special tools and materials.

But Xu Xingchen couldn't wait that long, and he didn't have the tools and materials, so he could only think of a solution based on his own martial arts.

As his palms rose and fell, ice-blue cold flames and scarlet red flames appeared alternately on the wolf skin.

First, use the power of cold to remove harmful small organisms in the fur, disinfect and sterilize, and at the same time, "preserve" the fur to a certain extent.
Then slowly release the power of the flame, carefully roasting the wolf skin for secondary processing.
Then, continue to use the power of ice and the power of fire in rotation.
During this process, the wolf skin is pulled, stretched, contracted, and stretched with the power of Yin and Yang magnets to make it loose, soft, and stretchable.
When Xu Xingchen was traveling around the world, he had seen how hunters tanned the fur of their prey, and was familiar with this process.

However, he wanted to save time, processes, and materials and use another method to tan, but it was not an easy task.

No matter how careful he was, the first piece of fur that had been tanned soon turned into waste with black, white, torn and rotten pieces.

Next is the second wolf skin, the third wolf skin, and the fourth wolf skin.
With each discarded wolf skin, Xu Xingchen's control over the temperature in the leather tanning process became more and more precise and skilled.

By the sixth wolf skin, the leather had barely taken shape.

The seventh wolf skin is a low-quality product.

The eighth wolf skin has become qualified.

By the ninth piece, which was the last piece of fur for training, after careful refining, the leather became soft and elastic, and the gray wolf hair attached to the leather also became extremely smooth, like silk.

Only then did he begin to tan... Oh, no, to refine the fur of the White Wolf King.

The ice-blue flame and the scarlet flame alternately rolled and flowed on the fur of the White Wolf King, and the black and white magnetic force moved back and forth in it.
This piece of fur is carefully processed, disinfected, sterilized, preserved, purified, stretched, shrunk, tanned, and steamed; then it is processed again, purified again, tanned again, and preserved again.
This process was repeated three times before it was finally successful!
