Shi Lang called the team to arms and everyone stood up from the ground in an instant. They saw the young general standing on the boulder and quickly shifted their sights to look at the place marked in their visors. Hawk said, “Beast activity, at least two hundred.”
Milo ran a quick scan and asked, “What are these things?”
They all could see beasts, hiding behind the tree line, these beasts were similar to wolves. Sparrow said, “The numbers will be a problem.”
The rest of the people agreed, Shi Lang said, “This is your first rodeo in this world. These beasts are not your common wolves. Channel the spirit energy inside you, and you will understand what they are, and how strong they can be.”
This statement made the people wake up and they all channeled the spirit energy in their bodies Sonic said, “Shit, boss, why do these things have spirit energy circulating within them?”
They could detect the flow of spiritual energy once they channel the energy in their eyes. Shi Lang said, “This is the reason I selected this planet. The presence of spirit is strong. Come on, get ready, they will charge at you any second now.”
As soon as his words fell the beasts moved. They did not rush all at once but sent out a wave of ten or so wolves. The speed was very fast, however, the Terran team also reacted similarly. They all scrambled yet maintained an irregular formation..
Wolf fighting rules state completely, never to separate from your team or the beasts will swarm at you. So the team all maintained a formation but with enough room to maneuver. Shi Lang looked at them and nodded, however, he did not move from his spot. The beasts charging at him were about to bite his ankle when Shi Lang emitted a strong aura.
This was enough to make the beast freeze and retreat. The young man became a stone for the river of beasts. The team, on the other hand, did not have such an easy time. It took them five minutes to deal with the first wave of wolves.
Shi Lang clicked his tongue and said, “Monitor the flow of spiritual energy inside the beast’s body when they attack. Locate the weakest spot and attack them with the pressure force method. Conserve your energy, the battle will be long.”
His strong voice made the people calm down and they replied with a war call, “HOORAH!!!”
The voice was infused with spirit energy and echoed in the surroundings, and the battle picked up the pace, the number of the wolves coming at them increased by one after each wave, and the ten of them have already dealt with a hundred or so beasts, yet the waves were never-ending. They were not exhausted physically but psychologically.
Shi Lang looked at them and nodded, he evaluated that the people were psychologically tired because of the repetitive attacks and said, “You all might be bored from standing in a spot and facing similar attacks. Come, retreat, I will take them on.”
That said, he vanished and appeared in front of the ten people. He said, “Now, take a step back.”
He came to Milo, borrowed his handgun, and then came to stand in the front of the team. The wolves slowed down a bit because they were scared of Shi Lang. The young general shook his head and emitted a strong battle aura.
He has already spotted the alpha of this pack and was looking right at him. The Alpha wolf was really sensitive and when he sensed the challenge, it let out a loud howl. Shi Lang smiled and said, “If anyone of the wolves makes past the point where I stand, feel free to fire at it. Watch my back.”
The rest of them took out their weapons, while Milo stood in the back, watching everything and making a visual record. Shi Lang suddenly raised his head and then he fired shots. Phaser beams flew through the void and landed directly at the heads of the engaging wolves. The wolves were falling to the ground very quickly.
Shi Lang had no scruples while fighting these savage beasts. Just as the number of the beasts increased, his figure began to flicker and shots were being fired from different directions. At this point, he was the only thing that the wolves were targeting, they ignored the other team members as if they did not exist.
Sparrow asked, “Why can the boss kill them with phasor beams? Did he not say that spiritual energy can bypass the phaser beams?”
Milo said, “Yes he did, but you have you understand that spirit energy only defends so strongly when it is concentrated under a formation. Without a formation array, spirit energy is just like wisps of air.”
The others realized what was happening, and they complimented Milo for his smartness. They focused back on the young general.
Shi Lang had just shot down the last wolf approaching him when the Alpha of the pack shot at him. The speed was so fast that it did not even allow Shi Lang to adjust the handgun and take aim. So, the young general moved back a few steps and then he gave up the guns. His hands began to glow with dim golden light.
Hawk commented, “This is how spirit energy looks when focused on a certain point in the body.”
He was educating the others when Shi Lang turned around and landed a backhand fist on the side of the beast’s mouth. The beast landed a few meters away and growled at Shi Lang. The size of the alpha was twice the other wolves in the pack, and his eyes were more spiritual. This was not an ordinary beast, this guy was a beast king.
Shi Lang channeled his spirit energy through the mind and said, “You have taken a lot of pain in cultivating to this point, leave, I do not wish to kill you.”
The message was sent directly to the beast, however, this thing did not know what compassion meant and with blood-red eyes, it charged at Shi Lang. The young general let out a sigh as he punched the beast head-on. He was aware that the temperament of a wolf will not allow it to bow its head and would rather die fighting.
The collision between the two was so strong, that a dull boom sounded. Shi Lang slide back half a step while the sand on the beach flew up. However, the condition of the beast was critical, it was flung away for a few meters before falling to the ground.
The eyes of the alpha were filled with hatred and regret, he thought these creatures were new and weak which was why they did not enter the forest and stayed outside. However, he did not know, that his decision would lead the pack to their death. Shi Lang had alone finished half the strength of the wolf pack.
Sparrow let out a whistle and said, “Boy, you were very impressive.”
Shi Lang shook his head and said, “Life, whether it is Terran or a beast, should not be wasted. Cultivation is not easy, and this guy was a beast king, he could have persisted and become something even stronger. you must understand that spiritual cultivators should not give up their life for just a simple thing like pride. That will not make you strong.”
The team nodded and Shi Lang said, “You all, dissect these beasts, harvest the meat, and pelts. If you find something that is not bone and is clean of blood from the skull, then tell me.”
The people nodded and began to work quickly, they were not in the mood to sleep after such an exciting fight. Suddenly, the people from the wooden man species appeared. Terrans were ready, Milo was the first one to shoot at them.
Shi Lang shouted, “Stand down Lieutenant.”
The phaser beam was shot at the foot of the woodman, however, they did not show any hostility. Shi Lang said in a deep voice, “You need to calm down.”
Milo replied, “Sorry, Sir.”
Shi Lang focused on the woodman and then transmitted his thoughts through the spiritual energy, “We are not on your land, why are you here?”
The leader of the woodman said, “We have come to express our gratitude. You and your people have ended the bane of my species from this area. These creatures have hunted us down for as long as we can remember, and we have spent countless hours on the lookout and trying to protect our people.”
Shi Lang nodded and said, “I did not do anything for you, it was just a matter of safety for my people.”
He did not melt with such expressions, he was a very petty person when it came to respecting, these natives had curtly asked them to leave, and now they come here. Humph, as if.
The woodman leader nodded and said, “There is a place where you can set up your camp.”
