0028: Wild Beasts on the Prowl, the Wolf King's Pursuit

"What happened?"

Cao Qingtian saw the injuries on Pik Tao's body, and his inner uneasiness became more intense.

How could this injury be so serious?

And there were about forty farmers who went out hunting this time, but only Pik Tao came back.

"Lord City Lord. We, we..."

Now Pik Tao's mood is extremely unstable, his face is full of fear, and he can't speak clearly.

"Speak slowly."

Cao Qingtian is sure that something must have gone wrong.

"Lord City Lord, we encountered the Wolf King in the wild!"

"Lord Hei Niu killed too many wild wolves, which attracted the attention of the Wolf King. Now the Wolf King is leading his people to hunt down Lord Hei Niu!"

"Wolf King?"

Cao Qingtian's brows were wrinkled into a "chuan" shape.

In Cao Qingtian's cognition, the Wolf King is just a few points stronger than ordinary wild wolves. Compared with ordinary wild wolves, the Wolf King has a clear gap in intelligence.

But now Pik Tao told him that Li Hei Niu was hunted down by a group of wild wolves led by the Wolf King.

Cao Qingtian was clear about Li Heiniu's fighting power. If the hunting team and Li Heiniu were in such a mess, then the fighting power of this wolf king must be quite good!

Just as Cao Qingtian was thinking, a global announcement suddenly sounded.

This global announcement was not about the upgrade of the player's main city.

"Congratulations on surviving until now in the [Empire], and next you will face the first challenge of coming to the [Empire] - the beast patrol."

"After the sun sets today, many beasts will appear around your city, and the beasts will attack you and your farmers. Therefore, if you cannot protect yourself from the beasts, the best way is to hide in the main city and don't make any noise. This way, there will be a very small chance of survival."

"In ten seconds, countless treasure chests will appear within a ten-kilometer radius of your main city. The levels of these treasure chests range from level one to level ten. The higher the level of the treasure chest, the richer the rewards. The treasure chest will exist until dawn."

"These treasure chests are the key to your fight against the beasts. Everyone, while the beast parade has not yet begun, hurry out of the city to find the treasure chests. Note: Only the city lord can see and open the treasure chests."

This global announcement made everyone who was originally terrified when they learned that the beast parade was about to begin excited.

The beast parade is a challenge and an opportunity. As long as they can get enough self-protection items from the treasure chest outside the city before the beast parade, they can also use them when the local forces attack in the future.

This is an opportunity to quickly enhance their own strength and the strength of the city!

Time is running out. Now there are only about ten minutes before the sun sets.

All people hurried out of the city to find treasure chests.

Chaos City.

Cao Qingtian frowned after hearing the global announcement.

Li Heiniu was just chased by the wolf king, and then the beast parade came out. More importantly, treasure chests will appear around the city.

Li Heiniu was chased by the wolf king and was in danger. Han Xin went to intercept the supplies of the Yellow Turban Army and has not returned yet. Huang Shichen is still opening up wasteland with his old subordinates.

Now there is only him and a group of farmers who have just returned in the city.

Should he go to save Li Heiniu or open treasure chests around the city?

This is not a difficult choice. Cao Qingtian chose the former without hesitation.

He is not a heartless person. After just two days of getting along, Li Heiniu, the simple black man, has left an indelible impression on him.

"Where are they roughly?"

Cao Qingtian looked at Piktao and said in a deep voice.

"Lord City Lord?!"

Beside him, Diao Chan looked at Cao Qingtian in surprise, "Are you going to leave the city yourself?"

"No, this is not possible. It's too dangerous. Lord City Lord, your safety is always the first priority. Why not wait for General Han Xin to come back before rescuing Li Heiniu."

Diao Chan's tone was full of worry, and she also revealed a little stubbornness, not allowing Cao Qingtian to leave the city.

This was the first time that Diao Chan did not follow Cao Qingtian's wishes.

Not only her, but Piktao and other farmers all felt that it was inappropriate. If Cao Qingtian got into trouble, Chaos City would be leaderless.

"Yes, Lord City Lord, this is too dangerous. Why not wait for General Han Xin to come back?"

Piktao also begged.

"Hmph, by the time Han Xin comes back, Li Heiniu might have already become a cold corpse!"

"Hurry up and tell me, or you'll miss the chance!"

Cao Qingtian's tone was cold and his attitude was unquestionable.

"Lord City Lord, since you want to leave the city, take me with you." Seeing Cao Qingtian's tough attitude, Diao Chan felt helpless.

"No, you still need to take care of many matters in the city. You should wait for me to come back in the city."

Pi Ketao looked at Cao Qingtian, hesitated for a while and told him the direction.

"Lord City Lord, when I said goodbye to them, I ran all the way back from the north."

"Okay, Diao Chan, send Pi Ketao to the clinic for Zhang Cuihua to treat him."

After saying that, Cao Qingtian went out of the city directly.

The sun sets over the long river, and there is a lonely shadow in the desolate forest.

At this time, treasure chests have also appeared around the city. Cao Qingtian didn't leave far when he saw a golden treasure chest.

[First-level treasure chest]

As soon as Cao Qingtian looked over, the information about the treasure chest appeared in front of him.

Cao Qingtian did not hesitate and continued on his way. Every second counted!

Along the way, treasure chests were scattered everywhere, but most of them were low-level treasure chests, and the highest level was only level three.

Cao Qingtian felt that it was not a good idea to search blindly like this.

Li Heiniu was chased by wolves, so the noise could not be small. He had to find a place with higher terrain so that he could have a chance to find some movement.

Cao Qingtian saw the nearest hilltop at a glance. He pushed his speed to the extreme, leaving a trail of shadows in the forest.

The Tyrant Bloodline brought Cao Qingtian not only a strengthened main city and a hundred times of time reduction, but more importantly, an all-round improvement of his own quality.

Soon, Cao Qingtian reached the top. There were still many treasure chests shining with golden light along the way, but Cao Qingtian ignored them one by one. On the top of the mountain, Cao Qingtian looked far away.

"There?"

Where Cao Qingtian was looking, birds that were about to roost were startled and flew away from time to time.

Below the flying bird, the jungle swayed wildly, and the movement was so loud that even Cao Qingtian, who was so far away, could hear some sounds.

． ． ．

In the jungle.

"These wild wolves are really something. I just killed a few wolves. Do you have to chase me like this?"

In the jungle, Li Heiniu held the ancestral kitchen knife in his hand, ran away in panic while complaining, but his face was very pale and his voice was weak.

His clothes were soaked in blood, and there were several deep wounds where the clothes were torn.

"Pi Ketao and the others should have returned to the city safely."

"I'll run farther. These wolves are too powerful. I can't let them discover the existence of the city."

"Bang!"

Li Heiniu was thinking, and suddenly kicked a stone, and the whole person fell to the ground.

Behind him, a group of wild wolves pounced fiercely.

"I'm going to die."
