Chapter 73 Close Combat Against the Wolf King
With the help of the barricades erected in advance and the ice and snow walls built later, Yuan Linghan, who was hiding in the camp, used the bow and arrows he carried and the javelins he made to kill all the gray wolves that had invaded the camp.
According to the staff of the "Living Alone in the Wilderness" program, such a record is indeed somewhat unbelievable. Even if other contestants used "Truth," they might not be able to achieve such results.
But Yuan Linghan knew that unless the mutated wolf king was completely eliminated, he would have to keep one eye open at all times, even while sleeping in the shelter, to guard against its sneak attacks. Since they had become mortal enemies, it was better to settle things once and for all.
The wolf king, which had been hiding two hundred meters away, finally couldn't suppress its killing intent and rushed towards Yuan Linghan behind the barricades like a ghost.
Normally, gray wolves can run at speeds up to 60 kilometers per hour. However, with the snow and ice in the jungle now soft, ordinary gray wolves will run slower. But the mutated wolf king's speed can reach at least 100 kilometers per hour.
"As expected of a mutated wolf king, its speed is this fast even in snowy jungles. What about in the plains?"
While marveling at the mutated wolf king's incredible speed, Yuan Linghan once again drew the iron-framed bow to its full draw. At the same moment this heavy arrow was released, another heavy arrow was launched in an instant.
When the mutated wolf king keenly sensed the threat of the heavy arrows and quickly slowed down to avoid them, five more heavy arrows almost blocked its path. Despite the wolf king's agility, it was still grazed by the arrows.
The crew members watching the live broadcast of Yuan Linghan's battle against the mutated wolf king were mostly stunned, exclaiming, "My God, in just a few seconds, he fired five heavy arrows in succession?"
"This white wolf is terrifying; even five heavy arrows failed to kill it."
"The last arrow did hit the wolf king. However, it didn't seriously injure it."
"Shit! No wonder even when Apex Corporation sent out intermediate-level wilderness hunters, they couldn't hunt down this mutated wolf king. Its speed is terrifying; it's difficult for ordinary hunters to even lock onto and aim at it!"
"Shut up, everyone, keep watching! The wolf king is completely enraged. The rescue team is immediately heading to Camp Six to prepare for a rescue operation. If the mutated wolf king escapes, kill it at all costs."
With a roar from Supervisor Dim, the other staff members instantly fell silent. The rescue team, which had been on standby, immediately boarded a helicopter and flew to Camp Six. More than rescuing Yuan Linghan, they wanted to kill the mutated wolf king that had revealed its presence.
On the helicopter, the rescue team leader said with a serious expression, "Brothers, stay alert. I know you all want to shoot the mutated beasts. But you should also understand how terrifying and horrific they are."
Although I've never hunted mutated beasts myself, I did participate in one such hunt during my military service years ago. It was a mutated bison, but do you know how it ended up?
Seeing his subordinates looking curious and silent, the team leader said in a heavy tone, "Even our team's most elite strategic sniper, using a large-caliber sniper rifle, failed to kill that mutated bison."
But no one expected that after being hit by a large-caliber bullet, the mutated bison would go completely berserk. Two of the five hunting teams were almost entirely wiped out. Those men were killed by the mutated bison, either by being run over or trampled to death.
As soon as the rescue team leader said these words, the expressions of the other rescue team members instantly turned serious. Just as the rescue team leader said, mutated beasts are very valuable; hunting one would not only make money but also enhance one's reputation.
The problem is, if mutant beasts are so easy to hunt, how could their value become so high?
At this moment, Yuan Linghan was completely focused and unaware that the rescue team was on its way. Facing the mutated wolf king, whose speed had increased again after being injured, Yuan Linghan knew that it was almost impossible to kill the wolf king with just a bow and arrow.
Yuan Linghan tossed his bow and arrows aside into the snow, drew his hunting knife, and gripped his pickaxe, preparing to engage the mutated wolf king in close combat. He felt confident in his current physical condition that he could fight the mutated wolf king.
(pickaxe)
The fact that the heavy arrows fired earlier could injure it indicates that the mutated wolf king's defenses are not high. What's truly worrisome is the mutated wolf king's speed. However, in close combat, the mutated wolf king's greatest advantage will be completely negated.
Just as the mutated wolf king got closer and closer to the barricade, and even when it was about a meter away from the barricade and its body suddenly leaped into the air, Yuan Linghan, who had been standing still, suddenly kicked the barricade beside him.
The moment Yuan Linghan's tactical thermal boots made contact with the barricade, the originally bulky barricade instantly flew up. The vines binding the barricade burst open, sending sharpened barricades flying into the air.
Faced with the suddenly flying barricades, even if the mutated wolf king in the air reacted quickly and moved its body, it would still not be able to fly. Once its time in the air was up, it would fall down as well.
Yuan Linghan, who could kick away a section of the barricade, followed the principle of "strike while the iron is hot" and aimed at the mutated wolf king that was dodging the barricade in mid-air. He swung his hunting knife and slashed fiercely at the wolf king.
This desperate courage also surprised the wolf king. As the wolf king twisted its body again to avoid the fatal blow of the hunting knife, the truly deadly move was hidden in the pickaxe behind the hunting knife.
The hunting knife cleaved with a forehand stroke, while the pickaxe sliced with a backhand stroke. As the sharp axe blade instantly sliced through the wolf king's most vulnerable belly, the wolf king, about to fall, bared its sharp fangs and bit off Yuan Linghan's hand.
Just as the pickaxe struck the wolf king, Yuan Linghan dodged the wolf's jaws with a quick sidestep, gripped his hunting knife tightly, and brought it down hard on the wolf king's neck. Before the wolf king could react, the hunting knife sliced through its neck in an instant.
The splattered wolf blood instantly covered Yuan Linghan, who was standing right next to him. As the wolf king landed, Yuan Linghan, who had forcefully drawn his sword, kicked out again with great force. The wolf king, kicked in its soft belly, instantly slammed into the barricade.
The entire battle was compressed to the extreme. Before the crew of the "Living Alone in the Wilderness" program could react, they saw the ferocious wolf king being kicked away and then impaled in the abdomen by a stake, its body impaled on the barricade.
After a long silence, one of the staff members who witnessed this scene finally exclaimed, "This...this is Chinese Kung Fu?"
"The mutated wolf king was completely defeated? How is that possible?"
"God, is this white wolf really a mutant?"
Listening to these incredulous discussions, Dim decisively said, "Replay his fight with the Wolf King in slow motion. I need to know exactly how he killed the Wolf King."
"Yes, supervisor!"
"Notify the rescue team to withdraw. We'll head to Camp Six once Aipai arrives."
Tim, equally incredulous, decisively issued several orders. Whether this albino wolf king was a mutated beast would only be confirmed after Aipai Company conducted tests with professional equipment.
Having just finished telling the story and hoping to keep the team on high alert, the rescue team leader received an order from the production crew. Looking somewhat bewildered, he asked, "Go back? Wait, did that mutated wolf king escape?"
"Team Leader McCormick, the Wolf King has been killed by Yuan. All the gray wolves that appeared outside the camp have now fled."
Upon hearing this, the rescue team leader couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "What? Killed? How is that possible?"
Although it seems unbelievable, when it comes to matters of life and death, who would dare to joke about it?
Whether it's true or false, we'll find out when we get back to the production team's camp!
