Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Hunting the White Wolf
With the aid of the Cursed Blade, Shirai believed that obtaining an employee card in the early stages would not be difficult for her.
At least during the safe period, it is not very difficult.
Bai Cheng tried to use the same trick again, but although the number of white wolves gathering around the train was increasing, it had no effect on her.
“Visibility is limited at night, and wolves shouldn’t be as impulsive as that silly dog during the day.” Bai Cheng raised an eyebrow.
Is there a method that is low in risk and high in tolerance for error?
Her gaze fell upon the stone spear that had just been used for roasting: "If you tie the blade of certain death to its tip, wouldn't it become a spear of certain death...?"
Although there was no rope, Bai Cheng was a girl, so she had rubber bands!
Bai Cheng ripped off the hair tie, and her smooth white hair instantly fell over her shoulders.
She wrapped the hair tie around it several times, but the connection between the dagger and the stone spear remained loose, making it unusable.
"It's likely that the dagger will fly out with a flick of the wrist..." Bai Cheng frowned. "If the blade of certain death falls outside the safe zone, it will be troublesome."
Her gaze shifted downwards, then settled on the white over-the-knee socks on her legs.
Without hesitation, Bai Cheng decisively took off one of her shoes and socks, and at the same time, she didn't forget to smell it.
"Ouch, it's sour."
She quickly reinforced the Death Blade and Stone Spear a second time with her stockings.
After shaking it again, Bai Cheng was now certain that the dagger wouldn't fly away easily.
After all, she didn't need to stab the wolf in the stomach with a dagger; she only needed to make a cut on its body.
"This is enough." Bai Cheng looked at the few white wolves that were lying in wait not far away. They were hidden in the darkness, and their eyes flashed scarlet in the dim firelight.
Bai Cheng picked up a piece of hyena meat, then got out of the car, took two steps forward, and threw it away.
With a soft thud, bright red flesh, stained with fallen leaves, rolled a short distance away and came to rest not far from a white wolf.
The enticing smell of blood immediately filled the air, making the surrounding white wolves drool.
Bai Cheng, who was standing to the side, suddenly realized that the wolves still did not attack him.
"It seems these creatures all know they can't attack the train."
However, Bai Cheng doesn't believe these creatures are intelligent; it's more likely that they have been implanted with some kind of instruction by the system.
Otherwise, if all creatures were as foolish as that hyena, it would be far too easy for survivors to use the rules to kill these beasts.
Of course, it's also possible that creatures in the dead of night are more intelligent and dangerous.
Even with fresh hyena meat right in front of it, the white wolf remained wary and did not rush forward to bite.
Perhaps due to extreme hunger, another white wolf not far away couldn't resist any longer and suddenly rushed forward, biting into the hyena's flesh.
It bared its teeth and gave a low warning, and the white wolf beside it immediately rushed forward to fight and tear it apart.
The other white wolf, with meat in its mouth, had no intention of fighting. Instead, it immediately grabbed the meat, turned around, and ran away.
The two white wolves were completely focused on their prey and made no attempt to guard against Bai Cheng.
In their eyes, Bai Cheng was nothing but prey. How could a hunter be on guard against its prey?
At this moment, the two wolves were only a little over two meters away from Bai Cheng, with at least one meter of that distance within the safety barrier. The length of the stone spear was more than enough.
Seeing that the white wolf carrying hyena meat was about to leave, Bai Cheng no longer hesitated and immediately gripped the end of the stone spear and thrust it out forcefully.
The next second, the tip of the blade of certain death easily sliced through the wolf's hind leg.
Bai Cheng barely stopped moving before swinging the stone spear at another white wolf to the side.
The wolf reacted extremely quickly, turning around and adopting a defensive posture almost instantly.
Unfortunately, the wolf's claws were still slashed by the blade that swept across the ground.
Normally, this situation wouldn't even qualify as an injury for them, as it wouldn't affect their combat effectiveness at all.
In fact, the wolf immediately retaliated.
It lowered its body, but before it could even jump, black runes covered its entire body, and it died and collapsed to the ground almost instantly.
This sudden turn of events happened almost instantly. The other white wolves, hidden in the shadows, seemed to realize that Bai Cheng had left the safe zone, and they immediately swarmed out!
All around was darkness, the leaves rustled, and countless scarlet eyes flickered back and forth, moving rapidly.
It turns out there are far more white wolves lurking in the shadows than Bai Cheng imagined!
Moreover, they were extremely fast, leaving only a blur in Bai Cheng's sight.
Almost instantly, three white wolves leaped out from the front, left, and right, rushing straight towards Bai Cheng.
However, Bai Cheng was never more than a meter away from the safety barrier behind her. She had been fully focused on killing the two white wolves and had made a backward movement.
She just hadn't expected these white wolves to be so fast.
Bai Cheng swung his stone spear haphazardly, and as soon as he took a step back, he heard a muffled thud.
In her panic, she felt herself slashing the bodies of two wolves, but the stone spear in her hand was also struck by a force, causing it to slip from her grasp.
The white wolf crashed into the transparent barrier in front of it, thud!
Bai Cheng was so frightened that she sat down on the ground with a thud, her face turning pale.
"Phew...that was close!"
At this moment, the faint campfire that had been lit earlier had been completely extinguished, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness.
Unable to observe the situation before her, Bai Cheng immediately got up and returned to the track car.
He just happened to touch a tree branch when he braced himself with his hand on the ground.
Bai Cheng immediately took out a lighter and lit it, the dim light instantly dispelling the surrounding darkness.
Several white wolves were sniffing something on their companion's body when the firelight shone on them. The wolves scattered in an instant and ran away as if fleeing for their lives.
Bai Cheng was somewhat puzzled: "Did you sense the danger of the Blade of Certain Death?"
In the firelight, she looked at the three white wolf corpses in front of her and suddenly realized what was happening.
Bai Cheng did indeed slash the bodies of two wolves, but the last white wolf simply ran into the blade that was destined to kill it.
The dagger was still stuck in its belly, which is why the white stone spear slipped from its grasp.
In just a short time, even Bai Cheng would not have imagined that he had killed five wolves.
"If their flesh were edible, we'd really be rich now." Bai Cheng pouted, feeling a pang of regret.
What pleased her even more was that she finally got the White Wolf employee card as she had hoped.
Although the meat is inedible, they still shed leather!
This is also a crucial resource for Bai Cheng, and it's not heavy.
As the corpses decomposed automatically, Bai Cheng repeatedly confirmed that there was no danger around her. She first retrieved her weapon, and then carefully moved all the leather onto the railcar.
There are 10 leathers in total.
Meanwhile, at the bottom of the screen on the track car, several automatically generated unlimited coins and a white employee card were flashing.
Several messages were also displayed on the screen, taking up the entire screen.
