Luckily for Atlas, the Ironblood Hound pack was made up of mostly Beasts that he could handle quite easily. They were led by a beast at his level, which would have been a challenge if he was any other cultivator.
Unfortunately for the Ironblood Hounds, Atlas was a monster. He razed their pack in a matter of minutes, taking just a few more to sever their heads and store them.
'There are only nine of them. If I could, I would look for a few more. However…'
He looked up at the sun.
'I'm out of time.'
He knew it would come to this. Instead of submitting his tasks one at a time, he would have to move according to the enemy's movements and only submit tasks when he had the assurance that he wouldn't be traced.
'I must hurry and set up the second encounter.'
