Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 27: The End

But in that lightning-fast instant, under the faint illumination of the firelight, Li Wei's gaze met the eyes of that black wolf. For some inexplicable reason, Li Wei had a strange feeling that his strike would likely miss.

Because even though the black wolf had been shot with an arrow, it still had enough strength to dodge—it was simply too robust.

Additionally, its sharp claws seemed to have severely injured Penny, and with Penny already pinned to the ground, she was completely unable to provide any supporting attack.

Now, it was like a master duelist looking down condescendingly at Li Wei, as if it had already predicted all his moves.

Its gaze seemed to say, "Slow, too slow!"

Its agility was definitely higher than Li Wei's.

Any thought of repeating his previous tactic from a few days ago, like when he stabbed that gray wolf, was completely impossible!

This realization flashed through his mind like lightning. Suddenly and without any warning, Li Wei, like a javelin thrower, tossed the wooden spear upward when he was less than three meters from the black wolf. With a flick of his wrist, he instantly changed his grip.

That's right, you can predict my predictions, you can surpass my agility, but before the laws of physics, everything is insignificant!

Especially at such close range, and especially since Li Wei had already built momentum with a running start. Even though changing his grip caused a slight delay, he still held a tremendous advantage!Of course, there was also the most important possibility: this black wolf might never have seen a javelin throw before and didn't understand the significance of this subtle change in movement.

This was also one of the key reasons Li Wei was willing to take this risk.

However, in reality, just as Li Wei changed his grip on the wooden spear, adjusted its angle, and quickly built up force, the black wolf suddenly charged straight at Li Wei at full speed. It truly could seize every possible combat opportunity—there was no deceiving it.

At this point, it was too late for Li Wei to switch from throwing to thrusting.

But in that split second, the black wolf, which had been rapidly pouncing down, suddenly staggered almost imperceptibly. One of its hind legs had been tugged by Penny, and though it broke free immediately,

for Li Wei, this was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Especially since he had remained completely calm—his heartbeat, breathing, and even all the muscles and bones throughout his body had entered a natural state. In that instant, the wooden spear left his hand and, at point-blank range, accurately pierced through the black wolf's throat.

It fell to the ground dead without making a sound.

The professional bonus from the Two-Star Hunter Card seemed to be effective for spear throwing as well.

Beyond that, the body coordination brought by 8 points of Agility also played a tremendously important role.

Of course, the greatest contributor to this battle was undoubtedly Penny.

Li Wei had no choice but to view her in a new light.

No matter what, he had to acknowledge this debt of gratitude.

Piercing wolf howls sounded again but quickly faded into the distance. The remaining two gray wolves had fled. They had originally been positioned to the southeast, howling and feigning attacks, while the black wolf launched a flanking assault from another direction.

If the camp entrance had been breached, a true massacre could have unfolded.

However, with the death of this leader, the black wolf, the two gray wolves immediately scattered like frightened birds.

[You have killed a strong, cunning pack leader wolf. You have gained 60 Hunting Experience points. The remaining gray wolves have been scared out of their wits and no longer dare approach your family camp. The Wolf Menace Mission has been resolved. You have gained an additional 100 Hunting Experience points. You have gained 10 Family Contribution points. Current total: 33 points.]

[Due to your outstanding performance, you have automatically replaced Fila as the temporary Family Head. The term is valid for one month. During this period, you can issue family main storyline tasks. If the main storyline tasks are completed perfectly, you will receive a favorable clearance evaluation.]

[Friendly reminder: After one month, if no family member's Family Contribution points exceed yours, you will continue to serve as Family Head.]

[Friendly reminder: Please issue family main storyline tasks as soon as possible. Otherwise, it may trigger chaotic Plot Kills among family members. If, during your tenure as Family Head, any family member dies or is eliminated for any reason, including being eliminated by Plot Kill, your prestige will be severely impacted. Of course, if you believe you can control the situation, there is no need to issue family main storyline tasks.]

[Friendly reminder: The family's missing personnel will randomly appear after this month's summary. Their identity will be determined based on the best performer over the past period.]

Lines of information swiftly passed by, and Li Wei couldn't help feeling a bit excited inside.

However, he didn't delay at all at this moment. First, he helped Penny up. She was soaked in blood, with several deep wounds on her back—it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say her flesh was torn open.

"Mom, do we have any medicinal herbs left?"

Li Wei shouted toward Fila, who was still in a daze. Mainly because everything that had just happened was too fast. By the time she processed it, not only was the battle over, but even the Wolf Menace Mission had been resolved.

"Oh, yes, yes, my poor child."

After a momentary pause, Fila finally snapped out of it, threw down her wooden spear, and ran to the storage area to search. Only then did Li Wei realize Penny was nearly unconscious, appearing critically weak.

He had no choice but to carry her into the house.

On the other side, Fila finally became reliable, having Li Wei hold a torch while she treated Penny's wounds. After a great deal of busy work, Penny gradually regained consciousness.

Excellent, it seemed she wouldn't die.

Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief. Now that he had become Family Head, his perspective felt entirely different.

"Boom!"

A thunderclap roared, and torrential rain poured down, as if heralding the start of a new chapter...

The heavy rain continued throughout the night.

At daybreak, Li Wei woke from deep sleep and first went to check on Penny's condition. Fortunately, there was no fever or similar issues, meaning the wounds hadn't become infected or anything like that. This was extremely important; the First-Level Awakening of the Health attribute was practically a divine skill.

From this perspective, allowing family members to progress and upgrade moderately was actually necessary. Otherwise, if Penny had died today, he as Family Head would have followed in Fila's footsteps, becoming a one-day-wonder leader.

"How are you feeling?"

Li Wei asked.

"Pretty rough. I'll probably need over ten days to recover. During this time, the family will depend entirely on you. Take good care of Mom," Penny spoke somewhat weakly, but her gaze remained quite calm. Clearly, she had also gained significant benefits from this experience.

"Alright! During this period, I'll go outside to search for iron ore, chop wood, hunt game, and prepare some supplies for winter. Without the wolf pack threat, Mom can also gather wild vegetables and mushrooms around the area when she's not cooking. Once you've recovered, we'll build a blacksmith shop together."

As soon as Li Wei finished speaking, a line of information appeared before his eyes.

[Will you set this as the family main storyline task for the next month?]

He of course selected confirm.

The next second, three of his Family Contribution points were consumed, and new information appeared.

[New family main storyline task issued. Within the next month, you need to collect at least one unit of iron ore, three units of wood, and two units of game. After completing the task, you will receive eight Family Contribution points. Any excess can be donated to the family for additional Family Contribution points or kept as personal property.]

[Fila needs to gather at least five units of wild vegetables and mushrooms, be responsible for Old Ox's daily grazing, and handle the family's three daily meals.]

[Penny needs to rest and recover from her injuries. Once her condition improves, she needs to build a blacksmith shop with your assistance.]

[Warning: The family main storyline task cannot be delayed too long. If delayed to forty days, the family main storyline task will be declared failed, and the Family Head will receive a lower clearance evaluation score.]
