Watching his companions gradually perish under the scorching Hellfire was an incredibly sorrowful sight.
However, they had already witnessed the power of Hellfire and were terrified by the gruesome fate of their comrades.
As the howls grew fainter, the Wild Wolves burned by Hellfire slowly lost their vitality, lying on the ground in agony, showing no signs of struggle.
The fear in their eyes was evident, as if they were terrified even in death.
The Wild Wolf leader, seeing his subordinates die one by one, was filled with rage.
“Awooo!!”
He howled mournfully to the sky, seemingly bidding farewell to the fallen wolves.
Meanwhile, on Ye Ling’s side, the scene was quite different.
“Ding! Auto-pickup target acquired: Wild Wolf Claw.”
“Ding! Auto-pickup target acquired: Wild Wolf Heart.”
“Ding! Auto-pickup target acquired: Lesser Fire Crystal.”
…
Ye Ling suddenly realized how incredibly useful the auto-pickup function given by the system was.
Goodness!
Every time a Wild Wolf died, a pile of materials would enter the system space, saving Ye Ling the time and effort of collecting them manually as he used to.
However, the constant notification sounds from the system were indeed quite annoying.
“System, can you mute the auto-pickup notifications? It’s so noisy.”
Rubbing his temples, Ye Ling felt his head was filled with the incessant dinging sounds, making it ache.
“Ding! Auto-pickup notifications muted. Host can check the auto-picked items in the system space.”
Fortunately, the system had such a function, and it immediately muted all subsequent auto-pickup notifications.
With the noise gone, Ye Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When he opened his eyes, he suddenly noticed that the remaining Wild Wolves and their leader were all glaring at him with bloodthirsty eyes, as if they wanted to tear him apart.
“What are you looking at? Look any longer, and I’ll gouge your eyes out!”
Ye Ling was not at all intimidated by the fierce gazes of the Wild Wolves.
The reason for his boldness was simple: both of his Spiritual Pets, Blood Phantom and Feng Jiu, could fly now.
These ground-bound demons posed very little threat to him, almost none at all.
Even the remaining Wild Wolves didn’t worry Ye Ling in the slightest.
The Wild Wolf leader, enraged by Ye Ling’s words, glared fiercely and exuded a murderous aura.
He turned and howled at the remaining Wild Wolves behind him.
“Awooo!!”
Then, the Wild Wolf leader charged at Ye Ling, leading the pack.
He paid no attention to Feng Jiu, who was soaring in the sky.
One reason was that his fireballs were ineffective against her, and another was simply because he couldn’t fly!
As a ground demon, his only anti-air measure was the fireball, which was useless in this case.
Under such circumstances, the Wild Wolf leader naturally ignored Feng Jiu.
As long as he could kill the Spirit Tamer, it would be enough. The life connection between a Spirit Tamer and their Spiritual Pet was one-sided.
If the Spirit Tamer died, the Spiritual Pet, unless possessing special abilities, would also be severely injured.
After being injured, the Spiritual Pet would unleash tremendous power to avenge their Spirit Tamer, then gradually weaken until death.
Therefore, attacking the Spirit Tamer was more cost-effective and slightly easier than attacking the Spiritual Pet.
For low-level Spirit Tamers, the power feedback from their Spiritual Pets was limited, and the skills they learned were also very limited.
Thus, they could easily lose their lives when facing direct attacks from demons.
For high-level Spirit Tamers, this problem didn’t exist.
High-level Spirit Tamers had more Spiritual Pets, thus receiving more power feedback, making their physical attributes stronger.
They also mastered more Spiritual Pet skills.
At that point, demons would have to seriously consider their own strength before attempting to ambush a high-level Spirit Tamer.
“Don’t come any closer!”
Seeing the Wild Wolf leader and the pack charging at him, Ye Ling took two steps back.
It wasn’t out of fear; it was because the Phoenix’s first battle task required Feng Jiu to complete the fight alone to receive the reward.
If Ye Ling intervened or let Blood Phantom intervene, the task would likely be considered a failure.
Therefore, Ye Ling was quite troubled by the Wild Wolves charging at him.
Despite his shouts, the Wild Wolf leader ignored him, baring his teeth menacingly.
The other Wild Wolves were similarly dangerous, showing no intention of stopping.
Seeing this, Ye Ling knew he couldn’t just stand there.
Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, fleeing is the best!
