Chapter 202: The Death Wolf Woman

Hong Chen’s arrival brought both shock and joy to the group led by Kai Xin. The shock came from learning that all members of the Xiyi Gate had been wiped out in Situ Luoyu’s scheme, with only Hong Chen surviving by hiding in the secret chamber of the Death Wolf Woman. The joy stemmed from the fact that Hong Chen possessed the cultivation level of the Mysterious Realm; with a short rest, he would surely become a great asset.

Hong Chen told them that during this time, as he had been avoiding the pursuit of elite fighters from the two major gangs, he hadn’t even had time to treat his wounds or cultivate. He had even planned to go to the Death Wolf Woman’s chamber to die, but fortunately, he went unnoticed and had been able to wait by the chamber’s edge until now.

Hearing this, Kai Xin sighed. If Hong Chen died, the Xiyi Gate would lose a key member for the next month, allowing the Luoyu Gate to maintain its dominance. Their actions in the Fox Cave and the use of the “Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle” would then seem less significant. But if Hong Chen survived, it would be a disaster for the greatly weakened Luoyu Gate!

The Luoyu Gate already had few top experts. In the future, if Hong Chen came to attack, the Luoyu Gate would have no choice but to reveal the background of the First-Class Hall early or seek help…

In fact, it would be difficult for them to compete with the Xiyi Gate in the Fox Cave anymore.

Thinking of this, Kai Xin felt relieved. He exchanged a glance with Yao Shi Wanneng and instructed Hong Chen to cultivate on the spot to heal his wounds. Under the protection of Kai Xin and his group, Hong Chen recovered quite well, though some residual internal and external injuries wouldn’t heal immediately…

Kai Xin wasn’t stingy either. He took out a Jade Dew Pill for Hong Chen to take. Besides relieving internal injuries and nourishing the body, the Jade Dew Pill also accelerated the healing of external wounds. Once the pill took effect, Hong Chen fully recovered!

“Um… may I ask where you got this pill?”
“The alchemist can make it.”

The Jade Dew Pill wasn’t a secret, and Kai Xin had no intention of hiding it.

“Great stuff!”

Having experienced the benefits of the Jade Dew Pill firsthand, Hong Chen understood its advantages and importance all too well. He thought that if they had this during a battle against Situ Luoyu, the members of the Xiyi Gate wouldn’t have been completely wiped out. Even if they couldn’t turn the tide, at least some of them could escape.

“Don’t overthink it…”

Just by looking at Happy’s expression, one could tell what he was thinking. Without hesitation, he poured cold water on the idea: “The cost of a single Jade Dew Pill is as high as 2,000 taels of silver. Adding in time and the chance of failure, the initial investment is huge—each pill costs nearly 3,000 taels… At this stage, no guild can equip them in bulk.”
“…”
Upon hearing Happy’s quote, Hongchen’s spirits immediately sank.
Spending 3,000 taels of silver on medicine at once was indeed too high. Even a skilled person could only afford a few pills after equipping themselves properly, and it wasn’t easy for ordinary players to save that much money.
Although he really wanted to ask how much more Happy had, he ultimately didn’t speak up—there was no need to.
“Happy, before dealing with the Death Wolf Woman, I think it’s necessary to clean out the scum on the second floor of Fox Cave…”
“Hm?”
“Those who died here are just a small group of elites from the Falling Feather Sect and the Joyful Happiness Sect. There are many more active outside. If they attack alone, none of us here would be afraid of them. But I’m worried that they might intrude while we’re fighting the Death Wolf Woman…”
Hongchen’s warning wasn’t unfounded.
Although Happy knew Hongchen was filled with resentment and a desire for revenge, he still had to take this into account. If those people harassed them from afar during the fight, it could cause irreparable damage. The second floor of Fox Cave indeed needed to be cleared.
“However, it’s not easy. There are at least eighty or ninety people from those two major gangs, all with advanced martial skills—they’re not ordinary players. Clearing them out is even harder than clearing out the White Foxes on the second floor of Fox Cave,” Yao Shi said with a serious expression.
The other four also nodded gravely.
That meant each person would have to deal with twenty experts. Even Happy wouldn’t find it easy, let alone those present who were only slightly stronger.
“If only we had the ‘Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle’ again…” Xiao Bei’s words filled everyone with helplessness.
Then, Happy spoke up!
“The people from the Joyful Happiness Sect and the Falling Feather Sect must be cleared out, but not now…” His words immediately drew everyone’s attention.
“What do you mean?”
Hongchen looked thoughtful and hesitant.

“The Fox Cave is only open for about three hours each time… It’s been over an hour since it opened, and it will take at least another hour to eliminate the members of the two major gangs!” Kai Xin analyzed seriously with a serious expression, “With the remaining time, we not only won’t be able to deal with the ‘Dead Wolf Woman,’ but we also won’t have the chance to obtain the resources deep in the second level of the Fox Cave. It’s not worth it at all.”
“That’s right.”
Yao Shi Wan Neng nodded in agreement.
In fact, the goal of suppressing the Luoyu Gate had already been achieved. It would be good if the remaining members could be eliminated, but even if they couldn’t, it wouldn’t have any decisive consequences. The Xiyi Gate already had the upper hand in the conflict with the Luoyu Gate; there was no need to waste time on trivial matters that could hinder their development—The Spirit Void Body and the Fox Demon Shadow were clearly more attractive and meaningful than clearing out the Fox Cave.
“Do you decide to continue dealing with the Dead Wolf Woman?”
Hong Chen finally understood what the two meant and frowned, “But what if…”
“My plan is for Yao Shi to scout the entrance and keep watch, alerting us immediately if anything happens. Me, you, Xiao Bei, and Lei Zhan—four of us will take on the Dead Wolf Woman together! We’ll try to deal with her in the shortest time possible before dealing with the members of the two major gangs.”
Kai Xin remained calm as he outlined his plan.
However, there was a fatal flaw: while the four of them were dealing with the Dead Wolf Woman, they might attract the attention of many forces from different gangs.
Fighting against the boss of the Life and Death Realm, the “Dead Wolf Woman,” was extremely difficult and would take a long time.
It was said that the first “Dead Wolf Woman” consumed nearly a hundred experts at the Creation Realm for over an hour, with more than thirty of them dying…
Hong Chen was stunned for a long time, unable to imagine where Kai Xin’s confidence came from.
Even Xiao Bei, Yao Shi Wan Neng, and Lei Zhan were skeptical about Kai Xin’s proposal, frowning in hesitation. If not for Kai Xin’s consistent success and solid contingency plans, they might have raised objections on the spot.
“Boss, do you have any insider information?”
Xiao Bei asked Kai Xin in a mysterious tone, his face full of curiosity: “Like the hidden cave found on the first level?”
The other three’s eyes lit up!
