CHAPTER 307: Dark Battle
Prairie wolves are recognized as a menace on the grasslands, especially during winter when orcs do not go out to graze. In winter, the wolves have far fewer ways to obtain food, so they band together in large packs to raid small orc tribe settlements, causing great harm.
This time, Zhao Hai and his group encountered a pack of wolves that numbered over a hundred thousand. These wolves appeared very thin, with green eyes that glowed ominously, clearly having gone a long time without food. Starving wolves are the most dangerous; desperate for survival, they dare to attack any living creature.
As soon as Wells saw the pack of hungry wolves, he became cautious. They moved carefully, and when nighttime came, he intended to send someone to keep watch. However, Zhao Hai sent out undead beings to guard the camp.
In fact, Zhao Hai's intention was not just to keep watch; he wanted to wipe out the pack of prairie wolves. Zhao Hai noticed that there seemed to be many different types among the wolves, and he wanted to capture them and bring them into the space store to see if he could upgrade his ranch, as he was quite dissatisfied with the current upgrade speed.
After Wells and the others fell asleep, Zhao Hai immediately called Cai'er out and released some mild toxic gas in the camp. This gas would only make the orcs faint without causing significant harm. Next, he turned his attention to dealing with the prairie wolves.
This time, Zhao Hai released all the undead beings he had to encircle the wolves. Although these prairie wolves were indeed formidable, they were no match for six hundred thousand undead beings. Surrounded, they had no chance to escape and were all eliminated, with many captured alive as well.
All of this took just over three hours. Once everything was settled, Zhao Hai immediately took the prairie wolves into the space and directly entered the ranch space.
As soon as he entered the ranch space, a notification sounded: "Mutated wolf-shaped creature, level 25, maturation time 20 hours, can give birth five times, five offspring each time, consumes two feed grains per hour, animal datafication, can be purchased in the space store."
"Mutated wolf-shaped creature, level 25, maturation time 20 hours, can give birth five times, five offspring each time, consumes two feed grains per hour, animal datafication, can be purchased in the space store."
...
After hearing the same notification five times in a row, Zhao Hai felt dizzy. He didn’t understand what was happening, so he quickly checked the store page, which now displayed images of five wolf-shaped creatures.
Zhao Hai understood now. Although these wolves all belonged to the prairie wolf species, they were classified into many different types. It seemed the space had grouped the various types of prairie wolves into a new creature, which was definitely good news for him.
At that moment, another notification sounded: "Wolf-shaped creatures, strong attack power, classified as harmful creatures. The space has added a harmful creature deployment device, which can deploy harmful creatures to destroy enemies."
"The space has met the upgrade requirements and has upgraded to level 8. Please work hard, host!"
Zhao Hai was stunned again. He wasn't surprised by the space upgrade, but he didn't quite understand what the harmful creature deployment device was.
He immediately asked Cai'er about it. It turned out that this was a transformation of an original function that allowed for the release of wild animals into friends’ spaces, causing harm to their crops and allowing him to gain experience. However, since Zhao Hai became the host and had no friends here, this function transformed into the deployment of harmful creatures. The prairie wolves were categorized as harmful creatures, which activated this function.
Zhao Hai was thrilled; this function was incredibly powerful. He now had another valuable card in his hand, and the space had reached level 8. He truly hoped to see the ranch space upgrade to level 10 soon; he wanted to see what it would be like at that level.
