Nearly half an hour passed, and Tian Jihong still didn't see the expected beast appear. Somewhat disappointed, he was about to get up and give up this plan, when his eyes suddenly locked in the direction, Tian Jihong found that there was fine sand and gravel rolling down the bottom of the cliff between the opposite mountain walls, and after a while, a gray-black head carefully poked out of the boundary of the ridge. Seeing this scene, Tian Jihong quickly stopped his movements and squatted on the back of the rock used for shielding again.

Fortunately, he didn't seem to alarm the guy who appeared behind the stone wall, and Tian Jihong saw after several identifications behind the rock that the sneaky head in the distance did not seem to look like a tiger or leopard, but a huge gray wolf head. At this time, Tian Jihong, who didn't dare to get up easily, couldn't see his clear appearance clearly, because the other party seemed to be nervously scanning the various movements between the entire cliff like him, wanting to confirm whether the fire-spine sheep in front of him was a trap laid by other enemies.

Tian Jihong behind the rock waited for ten minutes without showing his head, until the sound of stones rolling down in his ears became clearer and clearer, Tian Jihong finally breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that he had not been exposed to the other party's perception. Due to the consideration of the exploration of the spirit beast's soul power, Tian Jihong deliberately chose a hidden location fifty meters away from the target location between the opposite cliffs. If this can be perceived by the other party, then the strength of this spirit beast is not something that he can compete with at all, and naturally there is no possibility of fighting with it in the future.

According to Tian Jihong's judgment, the strength of this oncoming spirit beast should not be very strong. At least at this distance, I didn't feel any of the breath released by it, and I might be able to deal with it. When the other party finally stepped on the front of the mountain, Tianjihong saw the whole picture clearly. This spirit beast that walked over seemed to have nothing to surprise except for its size, and its appearance looked exactly like an ordinary gray wolf, except that it was a full circle larger than the latter.

After careful observation by Tian Jihong, it was found that the lower body of the gray wolf in front of him seemed to be slightly different from its kind, its limbs looked much stronger than those of similar gray wolves, and the muscles of the legs were also well-defined. On closer inspection, the soles of the feet used for support have obvious variations; Rather than a wolf's claws, it is better to say that the four legs of this giant wolf are more like broad tiger claws, which is also the reason why Tianjihong mistook his footprints before. With its claws embedded deep in the soil as it walks, it's no wonder that this creature can easily walk freely between the steep cliffs like a firespinal sheep.

In fact, there is no strict division of this breed of wild wolf in the Dongyun Mountains, and the caravans passing through the mountains are directly unified according to the customs of the older generation. As mentioned above, this unique wild wolf in the Dongyun Mountains has a more stable bottom, allowing it to hunt elusively in the mountains. This eastward wolf can also be regarded as one of the main natural enemies of passing caravans, whether it is the food carried or the accompanying personnel, they are often attacked or harassed by groups of eastward wolves on the way, and many people die in the mouths of these wolves every year. Therefore, when the name is mentioned, the merchants who haunt the mountains every day are all gnashing their teeth at it.

Of course, Tian Jihong was not interested in the name and origin of this Dongyun wolf, at this time, he just regarded this wolf as his opponent, and his habits and offensive methods were what he cared about the most. And the eastward wolf in front of him is actually more different, it is quite strange that it is independent of the herd and acts alone, and it is even more strange that it has been wandering in this volcanic realm where vegetation is scarce; After all, this place looks quite barren, and in such a harsh environment, except for a few fire-ridged sheep among the mountains, there is hardly any other food, and it is not suitable for such a lone wolf to hide its body.

Looking at this piece of Dongyun wolf, which is three or four times the size of his head, Tian Jihong is still a little bottomless in his heart, although he has always been eager to find an evenly matched opponent, but the wild wolf in front of him is obviously a genuine spirit beast; Even if he was confident that he could deal with such an existence, compared to the brainless attacks of ordinary beasts, the strength and wisdom of spirit beasts could be described as qualitatively improved, and it was definitely impossible to easily take them down for a while. Therefore, Tianjihong naturally did not give up the innate advantage of the other party in the light and himself in the dark to run to the other party, but chose to continue to observe the other party's actions from a distance.

According to Tian Jihong's plan, he will use the same methods as he did to deal with the firespinal sheep before, taking advantage of the distraction of the Dongyun wolf in the distance to hunt and feed in situ, or trying to move stones to drag the bait back to the nest, he will use the same method to block the way of its retreat with wooden stakes or stones, force the other party to escape in the direction of the rocky platform above, and then intercept the opponent between the platforms without knowing it.

Tian Jihong's goal for himself is to drive the opponent away as much as possible without being severely injured by the Dongyun wolf, so that the opponent can no longer interfere with his subsequent actions. As for whether he can kill the other party or capture him alive, he doesn't have much hope, Tian Jihong knows that the strong counterattack of the spirit beast when it is dying is quite terrifying, and he has no interest in dealing with a giant wolf who has been driven to a dead end, and it would be too cost-effective to make sure that he was accidentally pulled by the other party.

At this time, the Dongyun wolf in the distance had quietly approached the fire spine sheep that fell to the ground, and it was ruthless without the slightest hesitation, and directly bit the neck of the fire spine sheep, and the latter did not move in a few seconds. However, the former, who quickly killed the Firespinal Sheep, did not take it lightly, but quickly retreated a step back and clinged to the stone wall behind him while making a move, and then looked around nervously, and its hind paws even had a noticeable bent and taut posture. Obviously, with its intelligence, it is also worried that the good thing that will fall from the sky in front of it is very likely to be a trap set in advance, and it will be the beginning of the accident when it hunts the bait.

Seeing this scene, Tian Jihong also admired the wisdom of the spirit beast more and more, and such a keen insight was no different from that of a real human being. Fortunately, he had already made all the preparations, and he was far away from the scope of the other party's soul sense, so it was impossible for him to reveal his position as soon as he came up.

After a while, he found that there was no follow-up movement of the Dongyun wolf, and then he gradually began to believe that the delicious meal in front of him was indeed delivered to the door for nothing, but it still did not relax its vigilance and still chose to try to move the boulder pressed on the fire-spine sheep, which also made Tianjihong, who was secretly observing on the side, frown.

According to the latter's thoughts, if the wolf chooses to eat on the spot, the situation will be more favorable to him, and he will have more time to prepare while the opponent is distracted, and it will also be convenient for him to get closer to the opponent to launch a surprise attack.

But at this time, the Dongyun wolf who began to move the boulder made Tianjihong a little difficult, and he must not have guessed whether the other party planned to move the boulder to make it more convenient for him to eat, or decided to simply take the prey away and return to the lair. Tian Jihong didn't dare to bet, if that guy chose the latter, it would be too late for him to wait until he was sure that he would move backwards. By the time he arrived at the foothold on the opposite peak, the eastward wolf would have fled.

So at this time, he only had one choice, to take advantage of the other party's distraction by moving the stones, and immediately take action in advance! Tian Jihong knew in his heart that even the stones that he could easily move would not be much of a hindrance in front of the Dongyun Wolf, who was also famous for his strength, and the other party would be able to dispose of the boulder in less than half a minute. So, seeing that Tianjihong's old technique was repeated, he immediately got up and threw out a piece of dead wood that had been prepared beside him.

However, this time it was slightly different that considering that as a spirit beast, the Dongyun Wolf's soul power perception must be far superior to that of the previous Firespinal Sheep, Tianjihong did not shoot directly at the Dongyun Wolf as before, but had already arranged other means above the latter's foothold. Although he didn't have the materials and energy to lay out any decent traps in the wilderness, it was not difficult to use human ingenuity to come up with some noisy traps to cover up his intentions.

In the time since the bait was arranged, the whimsical Tianjihong saw a narrow platform not far above this place, and then he planned to place a crumbling rolling stone there. Under his own careful arrangement, Tianjihong placed the rolling stone directly above the retreat of the Dongyun Wolf, and once it fell downward, it could immediately wipe out many footholds between the ridges, thus cutting off the back road of the absolute side. All you need to do is throw a stake from a distance to smash the platform below where the rocks are placed, and you can easily release the latter. In this way, while achieving his goal of driving away his opponent, he can also effectively prevent the eastern wolf from sensing the direction of his attack, so as to locate his hiding place in reverse.

The dead wood that crossed the mountain stream hit the target's platform with precision and shattered it, and everything seemed to be carried out according to the established plan of Tianjihong. The falling boulder not only completely wiped out the retreat path of the Dongyun wolf, but even rushed towards the latter's foothold along the path that the other party had stepped on. At this time, the Dongyun Wolf had just finished dealing with the obstacle pressing on the Firespinal Sheep, and was about to pick up its corpse and return. It stands to reason that if it was an ordinary beast like the fire-ridged sheep before, I am afraid that it would have been frightened and panicked by the oncoming boulder, and it would have instinctively chosen to turn around and flee.
