MTLNOVEL Chapter 166: Dark Wolves!
At first, Lucian had been sceptical as the supply boxes of the institute was usually stationed in open.
Free-for-all, unrestricted.
But Lucian shrugged after a few seconds of thinking.
He spent another 10 minutes digging the ground as he refused to use his Earth Swim ability since it consumes too much of his energy and stamina.
Digging was a lot better although time consuming, he would at least save more than 90% of his energy.
At that time, Lucian had been incredibly happy when the bone he was using to dig her hit something.
Excitedly, he had even thrown the bone away to using his hands to drag apart the sand.
After a few seconds, Lucian was expressionless as his hands had brought out a perfectly Cubic square lump of gold.
Currently holding onto the lump of gold, Lucian's expression kept twitching. He didn't know much curse words, so he kept repeating the few he knew. The compass had wasted one of his three chances at finding a treasure
Gold, gold, gold. If he were in his previous life, Lucian would undoubtedly go down his kneels with happiness since the lump of gold would definitely transform him into a rich man.
But he was in another world. Although gold wasn't as worthless as stones, it was only slightly more expensive than stone.
Moreover, an Exercising practitioner has no use for gold since it did absolutely nothing to increasing one's strength. Gold was only valuable for its appearance and its beneficial properties when used in building god relics, tool, equipment etc.
Therefore, it was basically useless to Lucian. But at least, this piece of gold would cost at most 5000 relic coins.
Lucian sighed as though he had lost his soul. And he tossed the gold away. But as one might have expected, Lucian's figure immediately flashed and he picked the hold back up.
"5000 is still something." Lucian mumbled.
Right now, he was in another location the compass had pointed out to him.
As he was very close to reaching the place, the holographic arrow image started to brighten. Immediately, Lucian slowed his steps to a halt as he surveyed the location ahead of him.
An old broken and dilapidated building was in front of him. The building would have being 20 meters tall of it wasn't the fact that the top building had collapsed.
Lucian inspected the building and he wired for a couple of minutes. He wasn't in a hurry and if he had learnt one thing during his stay here, it was to remain as low key as possible least you die an unexpected death from the unknown.
Suddenly, Lucian's ear flickered as he heard some strange noises coming from the second floor of the building as the building was at most, five stories.
Lucian frowned softly, it seems a herd or pack had settled in the building. He could feel a headache on its way.
His eyes suddenly flashed snd without hesitation, Lucian quietly covered the lid of the compass, automatically cancelling the holographic arrow image on the air.
Bringing forth his interface, a dim holographic image was presented. It seems as though Hazel was aware of the situation, therefore she had reduced the brightness level of the holographic image to a minimum.
Lucian then activated the lifeform scanner.
In that instant, multiple red dots appeared in is vision.
Lucian blinked in disbelief, there were like 20 red dots in his vision. Which means, 20 something life forms were in the building before him.
And in that same building, that was where the treasure or supply box was located at. Lucian could feel his headache brewing.
In a split second, his ear flickered once more and he instantly shrunk down, lying softly to the ground.
In the next moment, the bushes at Lucian's flank suddenly rustled and three Evolved beast emerged from the dense jungle.
'Dark wolves' Lucian mumbled softly in his head.
Dark wolves are one of the Evolved varient of the Black wolves species.
The species was said to have evolved to gain the ability to see in the dark. It was their most basic ability and most importantly, they could sense vague fluctuations of different waves in the air.
That was their true ability. There was even a rumour that special types of wolves could actually utilise these waves to communicate and to command its subordinates.
Although it was just a rumour, there was still a possibility that it might be true.
Lucian didn't dare to be careless he immediately held his breathe not to make any sound. He needed to kill the three wolves in at most three seconds.
If not, the remaining wolves in the cave would definitely sense the angry waves of their fellow comrades and would definitely swarm him with their attacks. It would definitely not be a pretty sight.
The three Dark Wolves were all dragging something with their mouths.
The two dark wolves behind the first wolf were dragging the corpse of a very large evolved beast that looked like a mammoth with their mouths, scraping the floor. It was unknown how that even hunted such a huge thing.
While the Dark wolf at the fore front was using its mouth to drag the corpse of a male student.
Its posture was one of pride as it arrogantly made its steps to their layer, the dilapidated building.
More, just come closer a little more. Lucian mumbled in his heart.
Drip.
Lucian stiffened, and the wolves also froze in synchronisation. It was the sound of Lucian's sweat dropping to the ground.
Lucian didn't need the help of anyone to know he would definitely be discovered in at most two seconds, the time it would take for the wolves to determine the location at which the vibrational wave came from.
Although the sound of a drop of sweat would barely cause any ripple in the dense jungle, but the wolves could feel the vibrational force of the drop of sweat hitting the ground with their feet and would just require several seconds to locate the exact position.
