383 Chapter 227
When it was close to the wolf pack, its huge body suddenly stopped.
As if it sensed something, it immediately turned its tiger head and looked into the distance with its brown eyes. Through the fog, it looked at Su Ming, who was observing the other party.
Not Good!
Looking at the other party’s teasing expression, Su Ming felt that something was wrong and realized that he had been cut.
Up until now, his thunderous vision had not been detected by any living creature. However, he had never thought that the fierce tiger, which had the strength of a mid-level king, would have such a powerful perception ability.
Since he had already kept his tracks, Su Ming did not plan to continue hiding. It would be meaningless.
The battle patterns on both sides of his body lit up slightly and burst out with a blue light. A large number of thunder flowers appeared on his four limbs and covered the top of his sharp claws.
A king’s aura emerged from him and spread out in all directions, bringing with it a powerful pressure.
He was like a star in the dark night, shining brightly before the eyes of the large tiger. His aura was much stronger than an ordinary initial-stage king.
Observing the change in the Tiger’s form, the tiger’s expression changed from mockery to surprise. It regretfully withdrew its sharp claws and took a deep look at Su Ming in the distance. Then, it ignored him and turned around, it continued to leave in the same direction as before, not caring at all whether the enemy would attack.
Su Ming did not let down his guard against the Tiger’s actions. No one knew if the situation in front of him was a ploy by the other party.
He pretended to leave first to get rid of the giant Wolf’s wariness. When it was completely relaxed, he would charge at it with lightning speed and catch it off guard.
One should not underestimate the intelligence of mutated creatures, especially king-level creatures. They already had high intelligence and knew how to use strategies, not reckless fighting methods.
Facing such powerful creatures, Su Ming was absolutely vigilant and didn’t have any thoughts of taking any chances.
Not only did he not lower his guard, but he also gathered more thunder potential energy in his eyes, trying to find out the movements of the large tiger.
As time went by, the powerful tiger completely disappeared from his sight.
Only then did Su Ming let out a sigh of relief. He retracted the Thunder potential energy back into his body and controlled his muscles to relax to ease the soreness. He sat down again and released his guard.
Although the large tiger had disappeared, Su Ming didn’t think that it had let him and the wolves go. Especially the meaningful look in its eyes before it left, which made it suspect that the threat of the tiger was still surrounding the wolf pack.
Shaking his slightly stiff forelimbs, Su Ming looked at the sky from afar. When he was monitoring the tiger, it was already late at night. The moonlight was shrinking back, and the smoke was gradually getting thicker.
It was time to rest. After experiencing tonight’s incident, Su Ming thought to himself tiredly.
He turned around and patted Su Hui’s back, waking up his little brother who had fallen into a dream.
Facing the confused expression of the other party who seemed to be still asleep, Su Ming sighed helplessly and growled softly.
After a short ten seconds, the little brother, Su Hui, woke up completely with the help of Su Ming and took over the task of guarding his brother.
He even patted his chest confidently and told his worried brother to have a good rest. He would be on duty for the next half of the night.
Su Ming looked at his little brother who was in a daze. Although he was still a little worried, he had no other choice. He lay on top of the wreckage and quietly rested.
In order to prevent unexpected situations from happening, it controlled its mind and kept its sleep state at a shallow level.
Once there was a situation, it could quickly wake up. It would not be like Su Hui, who would fall into a confused state for the first few seconds.
...
The night passed without a word. The next morning.
The Moon hanging high in the sky disappeared and was replaced by the morning sun. The rays of orange-red morning light dispersed the smoke and brought vitality to the entire volcano region.
Feeling the dazzling rays of light outside his eyelids, Su Ming immediately left his sleep state. He opened his eyes and woke up.
He wanted to look forward to the rare scenery in the morning and sigh at the arrival of a new day.
Su Hui, who was beside him, was firmly guarding his duty and patrolling the surroundings. He did not neglect anything and successfully completed the task that his big brother had taught him.
Perhaps it saw that his big brother had woken up. In order not to disturb the rest of his companions’sleep, it did not speak. Instead, it slowly nodded at Su Ming to express its morning greetings.
Following that, its entire body could not help but relax. It was no longer as stiff as before. Su Ming’s awakening also announced the end of his mission. There was no longer a need for him to patrol the surroundings alone and guard his companions.
Regarding this, Su Ming also responded with a nod. He withdrew his gaze from the distance and took advantage of the time that the other two wolves had yet to wake up to think about the team’s route today.
Based on the team’s current situation, they were already in the inner area of Changbai Mountain. To be able to meet a mid-level king level fierce tiger meant that the wolf pack was not far from the central Tianchi volcano.
Su Ming estimated that the team would take about three hours to reach the outer area of Tianchi volcano after walking another dozens of kilometers.
If they were lucky, they would be able to reach their final destination before noon today. He only hoped that no creatures would come to interfere with their movements during the rest of the journey.
Especially the large ferocious tiger they met last night. This might be the target that the team needed to be on guard against today.
While he was thinking, the morning sun above Su Ming’s head had already risen slowly. It hung in the sky and shone on the magma, raising the temperature by a lot.
Su Yi and Ling were also awakened by their biological clocks. They slowly woke up and looked around. When they saw Su Ming’s tall and straight body, they finally let out a sigh of relief.
As for Su Hui, this kid actually took advantage of the moment when his big brother woke up to let down his guard and lie down on the ground again, taking a nap.
Even though he was being observed by the other three wolves, he still did not know it and kept snoring.
Su Yi and Ling secretly laughed. Su Hui walked to the other party helplessly and patted its back, forcefully waking it up from its sleep.
Fortunately, Su Hui had not entered the stage of deep sleep and quickly woke up. It looked at its big brother in embarrassment and tried to explain that it did not fall asleep on purpose, but that it was too tired.
Su Ming raised his wolf claws and patted his shoulder to show that he understood. At the same time, he also considered that if there was a similar situation next time, it would be better for him to be on duty for the second half of the night.
After all the members were packed up and ready to go, Su Ming, as the leader, walked to the front and led the entire team to continue moving forward.
After the Wolves left for a long time, a large amount of turbulence suddenly appeared at the right side of the smoke. A huge monster walked out of it. It widened its huge tiger eyes and looked thoughtfully at the position where the Wolves had left, it followed behind at a leisurely pace.
...
The sun shone brightly, dispersing the smoke.
With his good vision, Su Ming could easily see the scenery in the distance and better predict if there were any signs of life.
As the team went deeper, the mutated creatures living around them became stronger.
In view of this situation, Su Ming decided to change the previous way of fighting. Instead of letting Su Hui and Su Yi fight, he would use himself as the main force, after all, a creature with the strength of a king was not something that two elite-level giant wolves could deal with.
Su Ming did not speed up the process in order to arrive at the destination as soon as possible. He knew that the team had to have some spare strength to deal with an attack that could happen at any time.
The three members also trusted their leader, Su Ming, and followed closely behind. They did not look too far and slow down the team.
