Chapter 658 - 315: Hunt Plan Change and Han Tao’s Invitation
The Tier Two genes within its body will also be inherited by its descendants, providing a continuous source of Essence Material for Lin Feng’s Desert Wolf evolution path.
At this thought, Xu Wanfeng’s gaze towards Lin Feng had obviously changed.
This meticulous young man had plans far deeper than he initially imagined. From the start, he never considered the small Oasis Town in his sight; all his ambitions were built upon the hegemony of the Royal City.
Perhaps in a few years, Lin Feng will become a strong candidate for the next Tier Three King.
At this moment, after hearing Han Tao’s explanation, Lin Feng had already decided to change the target of hunting the Desolate Wolf Beasts from the two in the valley below to the one lurking in the shadows on the right.
After all, between these two strategies, whether in terms of success rate or risk in taking action, the latter is superior to the former.
The two giant beasts before them, although entangled with Bai Ye, always kept their attention on the surrounding environment, indicating they were already prepared for potential ambushes. Moreover, there were a large number of Tier One Late Stage Leader-level Giant Wolves nearby, ready to join the fight and cooperate with the Desolate Wolf Beasts.
Once Xu Wanfeng and Han Tao joined the fight, they would need to face a significant amount of high-end combat power from the Desert Wolf Race, posing a great risk.
As for the latter, the Desolate Wolf Beast lurking in the shadows, once locked onto by Lin Feng and the others, would be the sole Giant Wolf and could easily be taken down under focused fire.
So Lin Feng immediately shared his idea with the two present.
For this perfect plan, Xu Wanfeng and Han Tao naturally raised both hands in agreement.
After all, they were the ones truly risking their lives, while Lin Feng was responsible for long-range attacks and didn’t have to worry about engaging in close combat with the Desolate Wolf Beast.
The pressure of facing one Desolate Wolf Beast vs. two is completely incomparable.
However, before taking action, Lin Feng specifically asked Han Tao:
"By the way, can you perceive the specific evolutionary strength of the two Desolate Wolf Beasts at the foot of the mountain?"
Han Tao nodded and directly replied:
"This is simple, it’s only five or six hundred meters away, the pressure exerted by the Desolate Wolf Beasts feels as if they are right before our eyes."
"The two Desolate Wolf Beasts in front of Leader Bai, the twenty-meter one should be at the upper limit of Tier Two Early Stage, Level 23, with very formidable strength. Even if President Xu Wanfeng and I work together, we can barely manage against it."
"As for the smaller one, around fifteen meters or so, it’s just a Level 21 Desolate Wolf Beast. With my Rock Horse Armor on, I can barely handle it."
Lin Feng nodded, having already deduced about how much the specific strength of the Desolate Wolf Beast lurking in the shadows might be.
Bai Ye had once introduced himself, saying in the Desert Wolf Race, besides the Leader Wolf Ao of the Ancient Wolf Race heritage, there were only three Tier Two Desolate Wolf Beasts, all of which were the offspring of Wolf Ao.
They were respectively called Wolf Da, Wolf Two, and Wolf Three.
Their Evolution Levels and power decreased in order.
Wolf Da is the strongest, Level 23 evolution, needing only to hunt a Mid-stage Giant Beast to advance to Mid-Tier Two.
The other two, Wolf Two and Wolf Three, were at Level 22 and Level 21 advancement stages, respectively.
After the appearance of the two giant wolves, Lin Feng, and the others were only possibly hunting Wolf Two among the three brothers.
A Level 22 evolver Desolate Wolf Beast, similar in power to Lin Feng and Han Tao, with the addition of Xu Wanfeng who is a Level 25 Evolver, gives them a great chance for a successful surprise attack.
Lin Feng immediately arranged for Xu Wanfeng and Han Tao to act stealthily and eliminate the wolf sentries on the nearby hilltops.
They excel at close combat, and Lin Feng’s long-range firepower makes too much noise; therefore, this part could only be done by them.
Xu Wanfeng nodded, the wolf sentries of the Wilderness at most only have middle to early Tier One strength, which to her, a Mid-Tier Two evolver, would be as easy as stepping on a mouse or rabbit.
As such, her silhouette swiftly moved, quickly heading towards the evolved Desolate Wolf on the right hill.
Lin Feng turned slightly to see Han Tao pulling out the steel saber slung at an angle on his back, walking behind Xu Wanfeng, and looking back at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng slightly narrowed his eyes, silently displaying the attributes of the branded armor’s Fine Steel Wolf Blade. As soon as the opponent made any offensive move, it would activate instantly.
At which point, two Mantis Sabers made from Level 26 Fine Steel Wolf Fangs would emerge from Lin Feng’s arm armor to pierce the enemy in front.
Previously, during a spar with the strongest Rock Horse Warrior Li Hao, Lin Feng relied on the strike of the Fine Steel Wolf Blade to break through the opponent’s Mid-stage Rock Horse Armor’s defense, causing a bloody hole in the left shoulder armor of the armor.
The Fine Steel Wolf Blade has 300 points of damage, but its armor-piercing effect is comparable to a Level 26 Armor-Piercing Wolf Spear, often yielding unexpected results when used for surprise attacks.
And 300 points of damage, for Han Tao who is only a Level 21 evolver, even if he has some trump cards by coming from the Life Farm, it would be difficult to withstand 300 points of instant damage.
After all, a Level 21 evolver’s Life Value is, at most, just over 200, and if the Rock Horse Armor can’t stop the armor-piercing effect, ordinary power armor would certainly stand no chance at all.
Ordinary steel insert plates, in front of the Fine Steel Wolf Blade, are like a clump of tofu, basically no difference.
Fortunately, Han Tao made no other movements, just stared at Lin Feng for a few seconds before Xu Wanfeng walked away, suddenly opening his mouth:
"Leader Lin, as an evolver on the Rock-Horned Horse Path, you should have the same feeling as I do, right?"
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, indeed none who become Tier Two evolvers on their own are simple characters, something he said just now had already aroused suspicion.
However, he still needed Han Tao’s cooperation for now, so it was not yet time to reveal his hand. Thus, Lin Feng shook his head and replied:
"Although I started with a Rock Horned Horse Evolution Agent, since I awakened the Firearms Superpower, to ensure the success rate of long-range sniping and to improve precision, I specifically modified the power armor I wear to shield internal and external auras, reducing my perception of the environment while remaining unaffected by external environmental changes."
"Especially when killing a Tier Two Desolate Wolf Beast, you need to enter a fully concentrated state."
Han Tao nodded, seemingly believing Lin Feng’s explanation, and no longer dwelled on this topic, but instead asked:
"Then Leader Lin, as a Rock Horse Warrior, although you rely more on your powers to engage in battle, you must have heard about the upper limit issue that comes with this evolution path, right?"
Lin Feng suddenly looked at Han Tao, his voice deep:
"I’ve heard a little about it, but when I see Patriarch Li Hao of the Li Family, he seems to have advanced to a Late-Stage Rock Horse Warrior during a battle with a Tier Two Peak Wolf Ao, which should be related to the Life Farm in Holy City, right?"
Han Tao nodded, a slight smile on his lips:
"Exactly, Li Hao’s rapid development of himself and his entire family is attributed to their close relationship with the Life Farm."
"Leader Lin might not be aware, but in the Holy City, Life Farm is one of the three top-tier forces besides the Church."
"They possess extremely advanced biological technology, inheriting alien technology from the Old Earth Era, capable of mass-producing Rock Horned Horse Evolutionary Meat in labs through artificial cloning."
"Apart from artificial meat farms, Life Farm’s research into the Rock-Horned Horse Path has reached the highest level in the Wasteland."
"Oasis Town’s Nongzhuang Village’s Rock Horned Horse Breeding Industry owes much of its technology to Life Farm, and Li Hao himself is one of Life Farm’s clients."
"If Leader Lin wants to understand the evolutionary resources for the Rock-Horned Horse Path after Mid-Tier Two, then Life Farm is unavoidable."
Realizing Han Tao’s intent, Lin Feng responded accordingly:
"Hmm, once I head to Holy City, I suppose I’ll reach out to Life Farm to see if we can establish a cooperation..."
Han Tao was secretly pleased; although Li Hao’s power grab failed and nearly ruined years of planning for the Life Farm...
Nonetheless, the emerging Tier Two powerhouse in Oasis Town gave Han Tao even greater hope.
If they could wrest Lin Feng away from the Church and win his allegiance to Life Farm, he might become a powerful asset under their command in the future.
With this thought, Han Tao decided to be frank and extended an invitation:
"That’s perfect, Leader Lin. You may not know this, but over the years, I’ve made some connections with Life Farm and become an internal member of the organization..."
"If Leader Lin wants to explore further, afterward I’d be willing to act as your introducer for a visit to the farm."
