Chapter 47 Fishing

Jacob followed the galloping group with steady yet silent footsteps while calmly observing the situation at the back.

'That little girl (Kiana) is wearing an aromatic scent. Even I can smell it from here, not to talk about those annoying dogs. They're going to get killed no matter how much they run because of their own stupidity.

'Since that's the case, they better be baits for me and let me see if I can sneak attack the wolf king. As long as I killed that beast, the leadership will crumble, and I can easily get the heart and blood.'

The animals above uncommon rank was known as beasts, and they were far more powerful than any uncommon animals. Those rare species with high intelligence and low physical strength can't hold a candle to those beasts if they don't have the means to deal with them.

Jacob hasn't encountered any beast from all the way here, and it was only natural because he was heading in the direction of the uncommon region. Luckily, or else he might've been chased around by the beasts in the rare region if he had taken the opposite route.

Nevertheless, he didn't want to miss the chance to acquire a rare species' heart and blood. As for going to a human settlement, he had already spotted a map in Arian's possessions, so he cared less about those strangers' lives anymore, since they were more important as his baits than guides.

Besides, just as he said, even if he wasn't here, those four reckless fools were destined to die, but now they'll die because of a cause.

Just as Jacob's prediction, thereupon, multiple footsteps sounded within the valley and those four also notice this and started to panic.

Gus couldn't help but shouted in horror, "What is happening? How can they track us so quickly?!"

Arian has also had a pale expression, clearly appalled by this same question. He suddenly thought of something and proclaimed, "It's the smell! Dark Wolves have a terrifying sense of smell. We should've prepared for this damn it, it's too late now!"

They were riding as fast as they could, but the trees were making it difficult for horses to gain distance, and those wolves were catching up.

Kiana's expression was ashen as she shouted in frenzy, "Do something, I don't want to die!"

Arian retorted grimly, "There's nothing you can do now. Those wolves behind us are just the vanguard. As long as they surround us, more will come. We can only run for our lives!"

Gus felt great despair at this moment when he saw dark wolves, the size of an adult lion, chasing while viciously looking at them with their beastly eyes. He suddenly thought of something.

His eyes landed on Arian, who was also looking back, and a ruthless glint flashed past his eyes. He pointed his rifle at Arian's horse's head and pull the trigger.

'Boom'

Arian didn't even know what happened and after this explosive sound, his horse suddenly somersault, and he was sent flying into a tree. He slammed right face first and his face banged open like a watermelon as blood gushed out.

Jennifer couldn't believe what Gus had just done and looked at him with frightened eyes as she looked back and saw those wolves pouncing on the dismembered horse and still hanging by a threat, Arian.

Gus exclaimed coldly before Kiana or Jennifer could utter a single word, "If I haven't done this, we all would be torn into pieces by those animals right now. It was either us or him, so just focus on running!"

They couldn't retort to his statement because now those wolves weren't chasing them like before, and they could only keep their head low.

Jacob, who was moving in the shades of trees, naturally observed everything and pull an amusing yet cold smile. 'Hehe, backstab when needed, just like me in the old days. Let's see who will be sacrificed next. I want to see if he could kill his kin for survival. I'll collect that rifle and other stuff later since those dogs won't eat them probably.'

Although he wanted that map, he didn't want to put a target on his head right now, so he gave up and decided to look for it after this was all over if there was something left of it.Gt latest ovel chpters on nv(e)lbj/n(.)c/m

'Awooooo'

The same powerful howl rang again, and those wolves trembled slightly before they stopped eating the corpses and again chased the reaming three.

Jacob's eyes shimmered when he saw those wolves leaving and looked at the bag laying in a bloody pool of dead horse and the rifle not far away from Arian's mutilated corpse.

'If I want to sneak attack the wolf king, my already jagged knife won't be enough anymore' Jacob looked left and right before quickly leaping toward the leather bag and rifle at full speed.

He successfully grabbed the bag before he picked up the rifle and retreated hastily before any wolf could notice him!

His speed was 90 Km/h after his body fully became compatible with his heart, and not only that, he can achieve this speed within a second.

That was what made this snatching occasion so easy just now, or he might've got noticed by those vicious animals by now.

Jacob threw the back into the infinity pendant without checking the interior and examined the Colt Lightning Rifle with searing eyes. He couldn't help but creased its smooth magazine gate.

'Although this is the crude imitation of Colt Lighting, it still has its power, but its muzzle is of inferior quality and the trigger pin seemed to be of silver. I wonder which idiot made it. This will blow up in 50 or 55 shots and from the look of it's still new and fully loaded, so I should be able to use it for some time'

Jacob saw thought the rifle's flaws at a glance, but he was satisfied as long as it can shoot some bullets in succession since he didn't have the time to modify it right now!
