Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 22 One-Star Hunter Card
[You saved a family member and gained 5 family contribution points, bringing your total to 23. However, because the Wolf Plague mission is not yet complete, you cannot become the head of the household.]

[You have killed a strong adult gray wolf. You have gained 45 hunting experience points. The wolf infestation quest is 1/4 complete. Warning: This quest progress is not fixed and will change over time or as events unfold.]

[Friendly reminder: During the Wolf Plague mission, the gray wolf carcasses belong to the family collectively, but the person who kills the gray wolf will receive double the experience reward.]

Two messages flashed by quickly, but Li Wei didn't pay much attention to them. He directly discarded the wooden spear in his hand, which was already covered in blood and was no longer suitable to hold.

He wiped himself off casually, then picked up the wooden spear that Fila had thrown on the ground and turned to chase after it into the forest. He was determined to at least kill the wounded gray wolf.

As for Fila, she seemed to be terrified after being tackled again.

Penny had at least a dozen wounds on her body, none of them vital, but after her previous escape and crucial assist, she was now completely exhausted.

"George, don't be reckless! Come back quickly, we can discuss this further!"

Fila finally cried out, but Li Wei remained unmoved. Instead, he quickened his pace. He only had one chance. The wounded gray wolf was sure to die, but he couldn't let it die in the mouth of other wild animals or bleed to death elsewhere.

Li Wei needs the experience it brings.

At this moment, he was not reckless, but rather very rational.

In fact, the more he chased, the faster the two gray wolves ran. They were so fast that they could even scare away poisonous snakes.

After crossing the stream, on the outskirts of the forest, the wounded gray wolf finally collapsed to the ground. The other gray wolf let out a mournful howl, glanced back at Li Wei, and then dashed into the forest like a gust of wind, not daring to fight Li Wei one-on-one.

A dozen seconds later, Li Wei rushed forward and killed the wounded gray wolf with a single spear thrust, then decisively dragged its corpse back.

Almost simultaneously, several lines of information flashed by.

You have killed a common adult gray wolf, gaining 30 hunting experience points. Wolf Infestation quest progress 2/4.

[This is the third gray wolf you've killed. Your courage, strength, and skill have been proven. Do you want to take it a step further?]

You will receive a one-star hunter card, unlocking your second class, but the cost is that the conditions for completing the mission will change.

-

Huh?
Hunter Card!
What a surprise.

Li Wei certainly wouldn't refuse; he couldn't be happier.

The next second, it was as if time had stopped again. Gray mist surged in from all around and then quickly dissipated. A gray card, exactly like the Farmer's Card from before, was floating in front of him.

The moment he picked up the hunter card, it vanished, replaced by a strange surge of heat that flowed into his heart. A power was brewing and taking shape, and something seemed to have been added along with it.

At the same time, lines of information appeared.

[Already bound to a 1-star Hunter Card, automatically gaining 5 free attribute points]

[Has already been promoted to Apprentice Hunter]

[Gain Class Talent: Passively increases ranged weapon accuracy by 30%]

[Entered the corresponding world, world difficulty one star]

[World Background: Unknown]

[Mission Requirements: Survive for at least 36 months and accumulate at least five units of Standard World Resources]

[Mission Failure Penalty: Farmer's Card and Hunter's Card removed, related memories erased, and the individual sent back to their original world. However, considering humanitarian considerations, 50% of their awakened life attributes will be retained.]

It's so good.

For a moment, Li Wei really wanted to chase after the two gray wolves into the forest without stopping and kill them. Apprentice hunter, a second profession, and with five extra free attribute points.

He, Li, has now become visibly powerful.

But Li Wei quickly calmed down. The forest was not like the more open valley. Once he entered it, he would face more than just two gray wolves.

In addition, after this battle, his stamina has dropped to 10 points, and he can feel his calves trembling. He will need to rest for at least one or two hours to recover.

That's right, physical strength doesn't immediately recover once it's depleted.

Therefore, everything really needs to be considered carefully in the long run.

Li Wei immediately picked up the gray wolf's carcass and retreated. Meanwhile, Fila and Penny had already worked together to drag the other gray wolf's carcass back to the camp.

None of the three said anything. After Fila finished treating Penny's wounds, she hurriedly came out to deal with the two wolf carcasses, which would easily decompose in such hot weather.

Li Wei went to the stream to wash himself, picked up the fallen wooden spear, and rested for more than an hour until he was fully recovered. Then he drove the old ox to graze near the camp and took out a sickle to cut grass.

Although the wolf problem has not been completely solved, it doesn't mean that other things can't be done. Herding cattle and cutting grass are still possible, but one must be vigilant and not get distracted.

The valley then became very quiet, except for the occasional howl of wolves from the depths of the forest to the east. The howl was very mournful. Surely these wolves weren't calling to their friends?

The thought occasionally flashed through Li Wei's mind, and then he cut the lawn even faster.

Thanks to the abundant rainfall, the wild grass in the valley grew well. Li Wei frantically cut grass around the camp. In one day, he cleared a large area around the camp, and the cut grass was enough for the old cow to eat for several days.

Li Wei's actions were, of course, purposeful.

An old ox needs to eat grass, and someone needs to graze it every day. If it gets attacked by a gray wolf while grazing, how wrong that would be!

In addition, mowing the grass also clears out a large area of ​​visibility, preventing wolves from approaching silently.

As the sun set, Li Wei drove the old ox back to the camp. Just as he was hurrying to return a bundle of grass, the howling of wolves echoed again from the eastern forest, this time very close.

"George, come back quickly! The wolves are coming again!"

Behind the camp wall, Penny, her face pale, screamed. She had been injured and could not do much, but even so, in the afternoon, she insisted on standing on the oxcart to look out and warn Li Wei.

The wolf threat forced them to temporarily unite.

Almost simultaneously, a line of information appeared silently.

[Warning: Because the wolf king was not completely eliminated, the wolf menace quest will change over time. Current wolf menace quest progress: 2/6]

Good guy!
Where did these two wolves spawn from?!

Li Wei jogged all the way, even abandoning the grass he had cut.

When he rushed into the camp and stood on the oxcart to look out, he saw four gray wolves rushing towards him, their arrogance quite overbearing. In particular, one of the black wolves was very strong, with a sinister look in its eyes. When it raised its head and stared at him, Li Wei even had the feeling that there was a person inside its body.

That was hatred, hostility, and a declaration of war to the death.

Li Wei's heart skipped a beat when he saw the black wolf.
