Fairy, please step aside, I've taken a liking to your man.

Chapter 048 Demon Wolf

With a sudden shift from darkness to light, Shen Bai realized that his surroundings had undergone a tremendous change.

I had thought the White Dragon Secret Realm was on the water or in the White Dragon River, but after entering the secret realm, all I could see was a flat grassland, and the classmates who were walking in front of me had disappeared.

"Time travel? Or a miniature world?"

Shen Bai turned around and looked around. The portal he had entered through had disappeared, as if he had appeared out of thin air on this grassland.

When they entered, it was the dead of night outside, but it was bright daylight inside the secret realm.

This incredible scene left Shen Bai in awe.

After taking off the flying skateboard from his back, Shen Bai tested it and found that it worked normally. He stepped on it and, at a height of 1 meter above the ground, randomly chose a direction and began to fly at low altitude.

After flying for more than half an hour, the unchanging grassland began to change, the land started to undulate, and a white, shimmering landscape appeared in the distance.

"Is it a lake?"

Shen Bai flew over quickly, but when he got close, he found several Qi Refining stage cultivators watching from around the lake.

Upon seeing Shen Bai's school uniform, one of the middle-aged men shouted, "Get out of here! This is an area only for those in the Qi Refining stage. What are you doing here, a student from Jiangbei No. 1 High School?"

Shen Bai was startled and turned to run.

He hadn't expected that his random flight would lead him into an area where Qi Refining stage cultivators gathered resources. According to Teacher Yang Xiao, upon entering the White Dragon Secret Realm, one would be teleported to different areas. Qi Refining stage cultivators were mostly teleported to areas inhabited by demonic beasts, while martial artists were teleported to lower-risk areas inhabited by spirit beasts.

The difference between "monster" and "spirit beast"—just one word can change the difference in attack power and danger by more than tenfold.

Shen Bai didn't care what was in the lake; he only knew that he had gone the wrong way.

After flying for a short while, Shen Bai suddenly felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end. He abruptly stopped his flying skateboard, looked around, and immediately spotted a demon wolf.

A demonic wolf the size of a calf!

A first-tier demonic beast, a demonic wolf, whose strength is comparable to a cultivator in the early stage of Qi Refining.

The demon wolf is never a lone wolf; the appearance of one means that there is a pack of wolves nearby.

The demon wolf stared intently at Shen Bai, drool slowly dripping from the corner of its mouth. Shen Bai wasn't sure if his flying skateboard could escape the wolf's pursuit, nor could he see any other demon wolves in his line of sight. But none of this prevented him from immediately pulling out his Desert Eagle from under his arm and aiming at the demon wolf.

Unexpectedly, he had to use his trump card as soon as he entered the secret realm.

With a muffled thud, the demon wolf collapsed. The rampaging spiritual energy had blown half of its head off, and it died without ever seeing what had been aimed at it.

Shen Bai quickly landed beside the demon wolf, swiftly slashed his blade, and dug out a first-grade demon core from its chest. Then he turned and headed away into the distance.

"Aww—"

The distant howl of wolves startled Shen Bai, who frantically propelled his flying skateboard forward.

Fortunately, the wolves were a bit far apart, and with their aerial advantage, the two sides maintained a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

After flying for a while, Shen Bai's heart gradually calmed down, and he was no longer so flustered. Instead, he had the leisure to turn around and look.

More than twenty demonic wolves followed behind, but they were only at the early stage of Qi Refining and could not fly, so they ran wildly on all fours.

Even so, their speed is by no means slow.

Shen Bai gritted his teeth, pulled out his Desert Eagle, switched to metal bullet mode, and fired two guns, one with fire bullets and the other with ice bullets, unleashing a furious barrage of fire at the pack of wolves.

He flew forward on his flying skateboard, shooting amidst the turbulence. His accuracy was poor, but Shen Bai remained calm and composed, alternating between his left and right hands. Initially, he missed all ten shots, but later he was able to hit two or three out of ten.

After emptying both magazines, Shen Bai quickly replaced them with new magazines and new spirit stones.

Forty bullets hit seven or eight demon wolves, each one leaving burn or freeze marks through its body.

The pain did not frighten the wolf demons; instead, it aroused their ferocity, and they charged madly toward Shen Bai.

Shen Bai, instead of panicking, re-aimed. This time, he was able to hit five or six demon wolves out of ten shots. His powerful muscle control and keen senses allowed his marksmanship to improve rapidly.

This is the difference between martial artists and ordinary people. If an ordinary person didn't practice with thousands of bullets, they would never achieve his current high hit rate on a moving target.

After emptying the two magazines again, Shen Bai reached into his pocket and found two new magazines in his hand.

Having decided to fight to the death, Shen Bai held back, unleashing two magazines and forty bullets, which rained down on the demon wolves a hundred meters away.

This time, Shen Bai's aim was even more precise, with many bullets hitting the heads of the demon wolves directly, instantly tearing open the skulls of seven or eight demon wolves.

Shen Bai's accuracy improved with each shot, eventually hitting nine out of ten. The ferocious demon wolves were all badly injured, their skin torn and bleeding.

"Aww—"

The howling of wolves echoed from afar. More than ten wounded demon wolves finally stopped chasing and turned to run into the depths of the grassland. With endless resentment and covered in wounds, the pack of demon wolves quickly disappeared into the vast grassland.

They suffered a great loss in this battle, and if they did not move quickly, they would likely be attacked by other monsters. This was the main reason why the alpha wolf asked them to evacuate.

……

Seeing that the demon wolves had all fled, Shen Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that these were his last two magazines, each containing less than five bullets. If he ran out, he would have to reload manually, which would take a long time.

Fortunately, the other party was scared of him, otherwise I really don't know what the outcome would have been.

Shen Bai stopped his flying skateboard, cautiously looking around while taking out loose bullets from his backpack and quickly loading them into the magazines. With all six magazines full, Shen Bai's confidence returned.

This time when I entered the White Dragon Secret Realm, I brought a total of 500 bullets. I just emptied four magazines, and the remaining two magazines only have ten bullets left. I used up a total of 110 bullets.

Now that I've filled all six magazines, I still have 280 loose bullets left, which should be enough for me to use in the secret realm.

With ample ammunition, Shen Bai felt confident and turned to fly to the demon wolf's corpse, quickly extracting its demon core.

Including the previous demon cores, there are a total of nine.

The exchange rate between a first-grade demon core and a low-grade spirit stone is roughly one to one hundred, so nine demon cores would be worth nine hundred low-grade spirit stones.

The six magazines just now cost six spirit stones, plus 110 bullets, totaling 33 spirit stones.

After a seemingly exhilarating battle, a full 39 low-grade spirit stones were consumed!

If it weren't for the demon cores that came in, this battle would have been a complete financial disaster.

This is also the fundamental reason why I risked my life to come back and touch the corpse.

Fortunately, I made a big profit this time.

After carefully storing the demon core, Shen Bai didn't dare to linger for a moment and quickly flew into the distance.

Gradually, a vast forest came into view.
