After washing up.
He went out to the backyard. Quina was already there, seeming to be meditating.
Upon hearing footsteps, Quina stood up and saw that it was Wang Jue. She immediately stood up and said, "You are here, my Lord."
Wang Jue nodded and said, "Quina, let's go out for a walk later."
"Carry 80ml of spiritual spring water with you in case of unexpected needs."
After a few hours, there was already 120ml of spiritual spring water in the Gushing Spirit Well.
With that said, Wang Jue walked out of the courtyard.
They came to the soldiers' straw shed and saw Soldier Carl.
Wang Jue took out the newly produced spiritual spring water and handed it to Carl.
"This is a recovery potion. It can heal your injuries after you drink it."
Carl nodded. He distributed the spiritual spring water to the soldiers before he finished the remaining amount.
Wang Jue saw that most of Carl's health points had recovered in an instant. Carl exclaimed, "The results of this potion are really instantaneous. I've recovered significantly. Thank you, my Lord!
"My Lord is willing to use such a precious potion on me, I am ready to die the cruelest death for you!"
As he spoke, he went down on one knee.
Seeing that Carl and the soldiers' loyalty had increased again, Wang Jue nodded in satisfaction and said coolly,
"This is what you deserve. I won't mistreat anyone who's loyal to me. Get up, Carl. I have another mission for you today."
Wang Jue instructed the farmers to continue gathering the surrounding supplies and left three soldiers to protect the territory.
The group immediately set off for the grass plain.
With the help of Quina, the journey was a safe one.
With the help of the hints, Wang Jue gathered a considerable amount of materials and resources along the way as well.
During this time, they saw a group of wild horses. Wang Jue and company successfully subdued them and turned them into mounts.
Riding the horses, the party had already traveled seven to eight kilometers and arrived at a vast grass plain.
The terrain here was flat, and the sky was clear. At a glance, one could see the scenery of 10 to 20 miles.
Other than some areas with dense growth, there was practically nothing else.
Looking into the distance, one could almost see a successive mountain range.
[There are precious supplies 30 miles ahead, but there are wolves there. Please be careful.]
It did not alert him of danger, only mentioning to be careful. It shouldn't be a problem.
Wang Jue signaled with a look and Carl immediately said,
"My Lord, I'll scout ahead."
"Be careful."
Wang Jue nodded lightly, indicating for him to proceed.
Riding a horse was a no-no when scouting. Otherwise, someone would have sensed you before you even arrived there.
Carl tied his horse up and cautiously strode forward.
It was already afternoon and the sky was cloudy but hot.
Quina's ears were perked up. She stood as the main fighting force behind Wang Jue.
"Aah ooh…"
From afar, a wolf's howl suddenly sounded.
They had been discovered. Wolves were much more alert than most humans.
A pair of red wolf eyes stared fixedly at the party.
"Aah ooh… aah ooh…"
More and more wolf howls sounded.
Wang Jue took a look and estimated that there were about 30 of them.
[System notification: Prairie Wolf]
[Level: LV 2]
[Agility: 57]
[Damage: 30
[Health Points: 260]
[Prairie Wolves are not big, but they are very agile. Social animals are very difficult to deal with. You can defeat them by killing the alpha wolf.]
After seeing the attributes of the Prairie Wolf, Wang Jue made a decision.
They can be killed by force!
This was not a group of powerful creatures. Although the alpha wolf was hidden among the pack, the strength of Wang Jue's current party thought nothing of this pack of Prairie Wolves.
A wolf pack's method of offense was to first confront, deter, and observe their prey before launching a swift and fierce attack.
However, Wang Jue wasn't going to give them this chance.
Wang Jue unsheathed his iron sword and began to kill the nearest Prairie Wolf.
Carl reacted quickly and charged into the battlefield side by side with Wang Jue.
Clang…
Karl found an opportunity to charge at the alpha wolf and slashed at it.
But he did not even break the skin of the alpha wolf.
The metalized defense was stronger than he had imagined.
Fortunately, Carl was agile, he managed to dodge the subsequent attacks of the wolves in an instant and break out of their encirclement.
The wolves could not break through their defense at all.
However, there were too many wolves, it seemed that they wouldn't be able to end the battle for a while.
Quina fitted an arrow and shot. The exquisite bow and arrow instantly exploded into a hail of arrows that shot into the wolf pack.
Mass Damage: Evil Spirit's Hail of Arrows!
At once, a large number of wolf corpses were scattered all over the place.
[Killed 21 Prairie Wolves, EXP+1050]
The alpha wolf sensed that something was wrong and howled, preparing to retreat.
After the arrow was shot, Wang Jue didn't continue attacking.
The outcome was a foregone conclusion.
However, Wang Jue didn't intend to let the wolves leave.
This was because a golden hint appeared at this moment.
[The alpha wolf is extremely intelligent. If you can subdue it, it will be a good choice.]
Wang Jue didn't know how to subdue the alpha wolf, but he could tell that this was a world where strength reigned.
Since the alpha wolf was extremely intelligent, it meant that simple communication was possible. In this case, Wang Jue had a way to make him submit.
"Keep some alive, Quina. Don't let the alpha wolf get away."
Quina nodded at Wang Jue's command.
Following which, she lifted her bow. An arrow flew directly into the wolf pack and landed steadily below the alpha wolf.
Seeing that the alpha wolf had almost been penetrated by the arrow, the pack of wolves couldn't be bothered to attack anymore and turned around to protect their alpha.
Wang Jue and the alpha wolf met eyes. He smiled and said,
"I know that you can understand my words. I will now give you two choices. Submit to me, you and your subjects will be treated kindly."
After a pause, Wang Jue said with a cold gaze, "Or everyone will stay and become my dinner!"
The alpha wolf clearly understood Wang Jue's words, and its gaze flickered with the glow of wisdom.
Moments later, the alpha wolf walked out from the pack and stood in front of Wang Jue.
Looking at the alpha wolf, who was as tall as Wang Jue, standing in front of him, Carl gripped his sword tightly to prevent any unforeseen happenings.
Wang Jue looked at the alpha wolf calmly.
After that, the alpha wolf lowered his head towards Wang Jue, and the pack of wolves behind him also followed.
[System notification: Subdued the Alpha Wolf]
[Level: LV 5]
[Race: Shadow Wolf (Few in the bloodline)]
[Quality: High]
[Loyalty: 60]
A golden hint.

Wang Jue didn't expect to actually subdue an alpha wolf with a special bloodline with his casual act. Although there were few wolves in the bloodline, it could still grow later on.
The alpha wolf pushed its head against Wang Jue, seemingly trying to curry favor.
Its mouth opened as if it was asking for food.
Wang Jue took out a piece of lizard meat from his Backpack and put it into its mouth.
He then touched its fur.
It was soft.
It was hard to tell that such fur was so rigid that even Carl's sword could not break it.
Presently, the alpha wolf did not look fierce at all.
On the contrary, it was a little cute.
