With his viewers appearing doubtful, Wang Kui explained, "I've mentioned this calling to you before. In the face of a challenge, animals under the impression that there's an invader in their territory would become competitive."
"Everyone has seen the wolfdog too—you can tell at first glance that it is the tough sort which won't back down simply. So, I just need to provoke it a few times, and it would definitely not hold back!"
We understand the principle, but why does it feel like your words are baseless?!
Dusk was approaching soon.
Warming his throat, Wang Kui was ready to howl like a wolf to lure the wolfdog to him.
Thanks to his purple expert-class hunter card, he had long since mastered the basics of mimicking animal voices.
"Howl—!"
Incredible!
The viewers in his channel were left gaping once he started howling.
So realistic!
If they were not seeing it with their own eyes that Wang Kui was the one making the sound, they would have believed that it was real.
[Could you be a voice actor, Old Kui?]
[Um… are you sure you won't draw a wolf to yourself instead?]
[At that level, you could go on CCTV's 'The Sound'!]
[Could you purr, streamer?]
***
Wang Kui ignored the live comments just then. He needed to keep the air in his lower abdomen if he wanted to imitate an alpha wolf's howl because canines would easily recognize it if he lost momentum halfway through.
Hence, he continued howling repeatedly.
His voice was actually rather terrifying with the backdrop of a forest at dusk!
That was when the super-wide-angle camera captured some motion from the northeast—in other words, from Wang Kui's right.
A pitch-black shadow suddenly leaped out, just like a demon.
It was the wolfdog!
Once it landed, it promptly lowered and arched its body, its tail straightening and appearing on guard.
"Sniff… Sniff…"
Abruptly, it turned its head.
Its ears were withdrawn as it started sniffing with its nose. Baring its razor-sharp teeth, it growled quietly, and at the same time, its body was dripping with black blood as its wounds stretched and extended due to overexertion of its muscles. Matched with its scarlet eyes, it looked just like a vengeful spirit!
Could Old Kui really defeat it?!
The viewers were already shuddering beside themselves just after a look!
No one could offer an answer.
Nevertheless, at the very least, Old Kui's plan was effective. No matter how the wolfdog sniffed around the clearing, it could not sense him in the forests.
And now, it started to move.
It was patrolling its territory, prepared to seek out the enemy that had 'provoked' it.
However, Wang Kui could not afford to be hasty.
He had to follow the correct order of things if he was to do this.
He must hold back!
As he watched the wolfdog walk in circles around the tree husk, Wang Kui forced himself to calm down. It was too far, and he would not deal enough damage even if he attacked now!
Come closer!
Closer!
Yes!
Yes!!!
Watching as the wolfdog moved to just three meters to his side, Wang Kui finally could not hold back. His gaze sharpening, he kicked forward with both his feet and launched his flint spear like a meteor. It was thrown several times quicker than before, and it instantly shot toward the wolfdog's ribs!
He had never practiced martial arts.
However, his muscle regulation that reached up to 104.2%, his nervous system that controlled his reflexes up to 103.5%, along with his memories of prey dissection and physiology, allowed him to instantly release a lethal strike!
"Arf—!"
The wolfdog barked in rage, flailing its tailbone as its eyes went redder at the sight of a familiar face. Its wounded left eye even seemed to swell three inches outward while its limbs sunk to the ground at ninety degrees, its body almost touching the ground before it lunged upward!
Was it trying to go down together?
Wang Kui's spear that had been thrown too suddenly would definitely hit it.
Even so, the wolfdog dashed wildly toward him like a crazed demon without regarding the spear that would tear through him, its jaw gaping as it bit toward Wang Kui's crotch!
"Go to hell!" Wang Kui roared fiercely.
How could he not know about the sinister ball-crunching tactics of canines with his years of hunter's experience?!
Hence, he promptly stretched his leg and reined in his center of gravity, before shifting his hip and driving his kneecap forward!
Crunch—!
The rock-hard kneecap instantly slammed between the wolfdog's upper jaw and nostrils!
A crisp sound could immediately be heard because it was basically one of the wolfdog's most delicate spots!
"Yip!"
The wolfdog whined, but once it landed, it turned around and bit at Wang Kui's ankles!
Nonetheless, Wang Kui turned his leg, his thigh muscles tightening as he loosened his calf muscles on a full burst for a violent kick!
Pow!
His adrenal gland working at its maximum capacity of 1.53 times, his foot slammed onto the wolfdog's upper chest and throat like a sledgehammer!
Another critical hit!
Whoosh!
The kick sent the wolfdog flying over two meters away, dragging a long trail over the wild grass!
But it was not over yet!
Without wasting a breath, Wang Kui raised his spear, pivoting to gain momentum. His shoulder muscles were bustling like a bomb, pushing into his upper arm as he launched his spear!
Whoosh!
It would be over for the wolfdog if the spear hit!
It understood that its life or death hung in the balance.
However, as its rear limbs clawed into the ground, black blood flowed endlessly from its wounds again due to the exertion—but that did not matter now!
Run!
It had to run!
Using the recoiling force over its rear limbs, the wolfdog struggled to get up.
Then, it broke into a dash just as the spear was about to hit it.
The tip of the flint edge sliced through its back, leaving a bloody gash.
"Are you trying to run?!"
His nerves raw from the conflict once his adrenaline kicked in, Wang Kui's head was now filled with blood flowing rapidly, and he gave chase without bothering to pick up his spear!
Moreover, he was driving the wolfdog toward the opening between the bushes!
The viewers did not realize this.
And if even they did not have the time to think, the wolfdog certainly would not.
The moment it ran into the tripwire, there was a soft click as the counterweight dropped, and the elastic tree shot through the air instantly!
It struck the wolfdog directly on its rear limbs!
"Yip!"
It whinnied as it lost its balance and slammed directly on the ground.
It struggled, only for a resounding roar behind it to echo.
"Stay down!!!"
Wang Kui lunged upon it from the air, slamming his elbow instantly on its nape and pressing his whole body down upon the wolfdog!
The animal struggled to get up, but it was pinned down overwhelmingly by the massive force.

"What the… That's amazing, Old Kui! Amazing!!!"
A small neighborhood in Lijiang city.
Liu Ming was sitting in his living room while waiting for dinner. As he watched the livestream and the instant Wang Kui got the drop on the wolfdog and pinned it down, he had a rush of blood to the head and yelled at the top of his lungs, clapping his own thigh!
Smack!
Unexpectedly, his father, who had been sitting beside him, promptly slapped him. "Made me jump… what were you even yelling for?! Sit down!"
"Stay…"
Liu Ming clutched his burning cheeks, and the words 'stay down' almost left his lips out of reflex, but he ultimately held his tongue and sat down with much grief. "Yes, Dad!"
It was not just Liu Ming either.
Every last person in the livestream channel was in an uproar at the sound of Wang Kui's roar!
