The boundless wilderness was dotted with withered bushes and thickets. Upon entering the desolate territory, the bushes were covered with a thin layer of autumn frost, revealing signs that winter was approaching.
"Awoo!"
With a wolf howl, the bushes were cut in half by the attacking wind blades. The howling wind formed an overwhelming offensive, sweeping away the bushes and forests in its path. Its agile mobility and explosive power made it unstoppable!
"Smack!"
With their massive paws landing, several shadow wolves, accompanied by a gust of wind, darted out at lightning speed. On their backs rode fully armed knights, weapons at their waists and light crossbows in their hands, clearing the way for the main force behind them!
This is a wolf rider unit in training, launching fierce and lightning-fast attacks across the wasteland.
"Creak!"
Behind them, on the cleared straight road, countless giant wolves dragged chariots and raced swiftly!
Because the wolf pack was quite large, their formation was changed to the shape of the Chinese character "山" (mountain). Also, because the hospitable and friendly little fox wanted to pay New Year's respects to the lord of the wasteland and make a good impression, Xiao Han naturally and frankly rode the wolf riders in the middle of the "山" shape, sitting on a chariot engraved with no less than fifteen magical patterns, the patterns intertwined and shining with a magnificent light.
After some counting, the combined wolf pack consisted of 184 strong and elite wolves who had followed the Fox King in his conquests.
Initially, because of the karmic fire that descended from the sky, he was regarded by the wolf pack as a divine messenger who could control the divine fire. In addition, a large number of foreign tribes were killed in the explosion, which actually consolidated the Fox King's position.
Therefore, under the awe and trembling gaze of the wolf clan, Xiao Han conceived the idea of creating wolf riders, and with the prestige of the forest king, he allowed young wolf clan members to follow him and go out to do great things.
Even though the wolf clan lost its young warriors, it still maintained its position as the most powerful force in the forest. In addition, the wolf clan was the first to pledge allegiance to the Fox King and was thus highly regarded. The remaining few hundred old, weak, sick, and disabled wolves were not bullied by outsiders and were sent by Xiao Han to the logistics department to prepare for the winter disaster.
His goal was simple: to transform Darkmoon Forest into a breeding ground for wolf riders, and Wasteland into a training ground, recruiting a portion of the wolf race's fighting force in the form of mercenaries.
Over time, Titan City will accumulate a large cavalry force, strengthening the city's armed forces. Only then will it have the confidence to participate in the resource competition among various forces and to orchestrate a series of events involving scapegoating and framing.
"Smack!"
The animal hide was as soft as silk, warm to the touch, and covered with vein-like patterns. When rubbed, it would spark a string of electric sparks.
Xiao Han sat in the spacious imperial carriage, his fingers tracing the animal hide as he lay half his body back on it, feeling indescribably comfortable.
Although the journey was quite bumpy, the magical patterns inside the chariot provided shock absorption, allowing Xiao Han to maintain the most comfortable posture. With the blessing of the lucky clover, it was as if a world was surging within his pupils, condensing into a torrent of molten lava that rolled down from the void.
"call out!"
In an instant, the molten lava burst open, splashing up dazzling sparks, and a crimson short sword shot out, transforming into a crimson shadow, piercing and shattering a mountain of real data visualization!
Then, Xiao Han frowned, touched his forehead, his face slightly pale, which made him feel tired.
He tried to analyze the crimson longsword and integrate it into his own power system, but unfortunately, it was a divine object after all. If he hadn't been incredibly lucky and was not the Crimson Demon King favored by the evil god, he would have suffered a mental breakdown and a collapse in his rank just by touching that area. His brain couldn't withstand the torrent of information from the divine object and would have exploded on the spot.
The effect was slight; his spirit improved slightly, but he had no clue about analyzing the characteristics of the longsword.
Then, he tried a different approach, visualizing a towering willow tree, but he couldn't even grasp its form. A section of its verdant green almost burst his mental world, causing a strange change!
Finally, he gave up visualization and focused his attention on the reward for completing the task.
First, there was the emergency kit, and only one was left. Xiao Han planned to wait for a suitable time to open it.
It's worth mentioning that the Immortal's Journey isn't a one-time consumable item; like the cards used for forging equipment, it automatically recharges.
Then, there are 20 bottles of silver potions for the counterattack mission.
Xiao Han touched a bottle of silver-blue potion, inside which a dark blue flower was blooming, clearly indicating that it was no ordinary item.
Item: Silver Potion
Grade: Silver
Description: An evolution potion made from various magical materials, effective only for Bronze-rank players.
Feature 1: 100% chance of breaking through to the Silver tier.
Feature 2: There is a 25% chance to break the gene lock and unlock a random talent.
Feature 3: There is a 5% chance of breaking through the life level.
[Hey? Open the door, you bastard! Your genetic lock is rusty! I'll fix it for you!]
Xiao Han: "..."
It only applies to the Bronze tier, meaning he missed out on this benefit?
Without hesitation, Xiao Han opened the bottle and drank the whole bottle in one gulp.
"Ding! Experience points +1000! (???)"
In an instant, Xiao Han's 5% experience bar surged to 21%. After a moment's thought, Xiao Han repeated his old trick, drinking 5 bottles and accumulating 101% experience points.
In this way, his next upgrade will directly step into the third human limit in order to cope with a more dangerous situation.
Although drinking six bottles of potions was a waste, given his cultivation speed, accumulating 6,000 experience points to reach the first level would take at least a month. And with the calamity of winter, who knows what changes might occur?
Not to mention, in addition to the harsh weather, there are also various forces around them eyeing them covetously. The nobles of the Southern Duchy are eager to reclaim the North, restore the Duchy's glory, and open up new transportation routes.
