Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded

Chapter 657 - 315: Hunt Plan Change and Han Tao’s Invitation

Han Tao’s words added new uncertainties to the action plan Lin Feng had devised.

There were only two Desolate Wolf Beasts on the scene, entangled and wrestling with Bai Ye, so where was the third Early Tier Two Desolate Wolf Beast now?

Earlier, both Lin Feng and Xu Wanfeng were drawn to the fierce battle within the valley, forgetting to analyze the overall advanced combat power of the Desert Wolf Race and subconsciously ignored the last Tier Two Giant Beast.

Now, reminded by Han Tao, the two realized that the current stalemate and combat might be a trap carefully set up by the Desert Wolf Race for the Human Evolver team from Oasis Town to walk into.

Once the three of them took action, it was highly possible that the last Desolate Wolf Beast had already been lurking somewhere, ready to launch a surprise attack when humans let their guard down.

And Han Tao’s reminder also led Lin Feng to conceive a better combat operation.

He immediately asked Han Tao if he could perceive the position of the last Desolate Wolf Beast.

The latter did not respond but instead took off the helmet of his Power Armor to reveal his head, then took a deep breath, sniffing the dust and blood smell in the air.

Soon, Han Tao fixed his gaze towards the right side of the valley, which was the direction in which the Salvation Army intended to break through.

After confirming the target’s location, Han Tao quickly placed the helmet back on his head, then slowly spoke:

"As an Evolver following the Rock-Horned Horse Path, the level of fusion with Rock-Horned Horse genes deepens at Tier Two, transforming into a Rock Horse Warrior."

"We possess stronger endurance and tolerance than other Human Evolvers, and we can also control Rock Horse Armor to transform into a small Rock Horse Giant Beast."

"However, the instinct engraved deep in the Rock-Horned Horse genes will cause Rock Horse Warriors to feel a deep genetic fear when facing the natural enemies of the Rock-Horned Horse Race..."

"This could lightly affect combat momentum and reaction speed, or severely, cause a complete lack of courage to face a Desolate Wolf Beast."

"After all, from what I understand, the Rock-Horned Horse Race once had the potential to produce a Tier Three Horse King, but at the most critical moment, during a gathering of numerous Rock Horse Giant Beasts after a great battle, they showed signs of transforming into a king..."

"Yet at such a crucial moment, a Wolf Race led by a Tier Three Wolf King suddenly emerged, carrying out a brutal massacre on the gathered Rock Horse Giant Beasts..."

"After losing that elite group back then, the Rock-Horned Horse Race never recovered, and the subsequent genes continued to carry the fear of the Desert Wolf Race."

"Since then, Rock-Horned Horses have become particularly sensitive to Desert Wolves, being able to sense their presence from two to three kilometers away."

Saying this, Han Tao lifted his head and glanced around. After confirming that the scent he had just released had not been detected by nearby Evolved Desolate Wolves, he continued:

"For a Tier Two Rock Horse Giant Beast or Rock Horse Warrior, this fear from deep within their genetic material is particularly intense."

"Thus, we are particularly sensitive to the presence of Desolate Wolf Beasts, detecting them almost instinctively, like biological perception, leading me to notice the threat at the back of the right side of the valley."

"Similarly, the Desert Wolf Race is also very sensitive to the scent of Rock-Horned Horses. They can even use more developed olfactory skills to detect the presence of Rock-Horned Horses earlier."

"Allowing them to gather other companions and patiently hunt the Rock-Horned Horse Herd."

"Earlier, I took off the helmet to increase perception to locate the Rock Horse Giant Beast, which also posed a risk of exposing my presence."

"But as it stands, the bloody smell permeating the valley helps to mask my scent."

After listening to Han Tao’s account and explanation, Lin Feng and Xu Wanfeng nodded thoughtfully.

Especially the latter, realizing the special envoy relationship between the Rock-Horned Horse Race and the Desert Wolf Race, he came to understand that in the previous peak Tier Two battle, the Lord Bishop clearly used Patriarch Li of the Li Family, Li Hao, as bait for a trap set by the Wolf Race Leader.

And now, with many Evolved Desolate Wolves being killed by Oasis Town, the Desert Wolf Source Material collected, and even the Tier Two Desolate Wolf Beast about to be killed...

Their value extends far beyond just Evolutionary Meat and Biological Materials; their body’s Life Source Material infused with racial genes and wolf bloodline could be far more valuable than Evolutionary Meat and Biological Materials.

After all, having an evolutionary path brings value and benefits that far surpass any Source Material.

With this in mind, Xu Wanfeng suddenly realized that the young man beside him might have planned this from the very beginning.

After all, among the Evolved Desolate Wolves killed by Oasis Town so far, a considerable number were acquired by Lin Feng through the exchange of artillery shells.

In addition to the Tier Two Elite Squad combat plan personally proposed by Lin Feng...

On the surface, it appeared to be for the breakout safety of Oasis Town and to rescue the Salvation Army besieged by the Wolf Race army, but the real task at hand was to kill a Tier Two Desolate Wolf Beast.

And the body of a Tier Two Giant Beast after killing the Desolate Wolf Beast, would naturally become Lin Feng’s trophy.

Thus, it seemed that everything was part of Lin Feng’s secret scheme, a step-by-step collection of all the pieces needed for the evolutionary path of the Desert Wolf Race.

More importantly, Xu Wanfeng vaguely recalled that Lin Feng’s convoy always had a Desert Wolf he kept, which he feared had been nurtured into an Evolved Desolate Wolf by now.

By further absorbing the flesh and Source Material of a Desolate Wolf Beast, it is bound to become one of the few Tier Two Giant Wolves on this Wasteland...
