Su Yuan''s face darkened, but after observing for a while, he did not leave.
On the periphery, star beasts were sparsely distributed. He could often only kill seven or eight in a day, but it was rare to see so many star beasts at once.
These were all Star Dust!
Moreover, although the young man ahead was being chased by so many Fire Stepping Wolves, he moved at a steady pace and showed no obvious signs of panic on his face; he was evidently not simple.
After a brief thought, Su Yuan drew his long knife and quickly walked forward, with silver light flashing in his eyes. Instant Movement was ready.
If this person was just using him as a scapegoat, Su Yuan wouldn''t mind using Instant Movement to leave immediately.
Seeing Su Yuan approaching with a knife, Zhuang Xun showed a look of delight.
"Good man, I knew anyone daring to venture here alone must be extraordinary. As expected, this guy is tough!"
Those beautiful and unique silver eyes made Zhuang Xun take a few more glances. However, now was not the time for observation. To show his sincerity, Zhuang Xun turned around and swung his sword into the wolf pack when Su Yuan was within twenty meters!
Red flames entwined the sword, and the two leading Fire Stepping Wolves were immediately injured by the long sword!
However, the wolves were quite tenacious. If you didn''t kill them, you had to be prepared for a fierce counterattack. In just a short moment, Zhuang Xun was surrounded by a pack of wolves, left struggling to fend off attacks from both sides, surrounded by danger.@@@@
Fortunately, Su Yuan''s figure had already crashed into the wolf pack. With Wind Walking enhancing his steps, Su Yuan''s movements were incredibly agile, and he swung his long knife toward the Fire Stepping Wolves.
Su Yuan''s arrival immediately attracted the attack of several Fire Stepping Wolves. Zhuang Xun felt the pressure lessen sharply, and while swinging his sword, he turned his head to look, seeing that Su Yuan moved lightly and gracefully, the four Fire Stepping Wolves surrounding him almost unable to touch the hem of his clothes.
Impressive!
Zhuang Xun was slightly surprised. He didn''t expect to randomly encounter a student near Guangchuan City whose strength seemed no weaker than his own. Guangchuan City was merely a third-level city under Qingye City. When had it become so extraordinary?
Zhuang Xun shouted, "Good brother, thanks!"
Swinging his knife and killing wolves, Su Yuan replied without turning his head, "Let''s deal with them first."
Zhuang Xun smiled, the flames on his sword burning even hotter, "Alright!"
With someone sharing the pressure, the remaining three Fire Stepping Wolves posed no threat to Zhuang Xun.
Previously, because there were too many, even a genius student like Zhuang Xun from Qingye High School could do nothing.
Because Star Apprentice''s Star Power was limited, they typically wouldn''t learn high-consumption AOE skills during the Star Apprentice Level. They would be out of power after a few uses, making it impractical.
However, what Zhuang Xun didn''t expect was that Fire Stepping Wolves which were supposed to be at the initial Bronze Level, had evolved into Green Flame White Wolves!
If they were only Bronze Level Fire Stepping Wolves, Zhuang Xun was confident he could handle them, but Green Flame White Wolves were elite star beasts, far beyond the combat power of Fire Stepping Wolves.
Moreover, the Green Flame White Wolf had gathered many Star Apprentice-level Fire Stepping Wolves around it. Left with no choice, Zhuang Xun could only retreat.
However, the Green Flame White Wolf was too sensitive and noticed Zhuang Xun retreating. It dispatched many Fire Stepping Wolves to chase after him, leading to the situation Su Yuan now saw.
Zhuang Xun seemed to think of something and suddenly brightened his eyes at Su Yuan, "By the way, Su Yuan, seeing you use the Steel Flame Finger, you must be a Fire Star Card Master, right? Listen, I know there''s a Green Flame White Wolf ahead, an elite star beast evolved from the Fire Stepping Wolf. There''s a chance it might drop an elite grade skill, the Gray Flame Strike!"
"A Green Flame White Wolf?" Su Yuan''s expression changed slightly, "What level?"
Zhuang Xun laughed, "Just Bronze Early Stage!"
Hearing this, Su Yuan quickly thought it over.
The Green Flame White Wolf was an elite star beast evolved from the Fire Stepping Wolf. Its representative skill was the Green Grade Gray Flame Strike, a special skill only possessed by the Green Flame White Wolf species, greatly powerful, with very fast projectile speed, making it hard to avoid.
Generally, green star cards were priced at tens of thousands, and rare green cards might be worth thirty or forty thousand. The Gray Flame Strike could sell for at least over twenty thousand if put on the market!
Although he was not a Fire Star Card Master, obtaining a practical green card wasn''t easy for Su Yuan in his current situation. This was a rare opportunity. Besides, with the system''s help, he could extract the Gray Flame Strike with 100% certainty.
Su Yuan asked, "What do you want for giving me the Green Flame White Wolf''s intel?"
"Rest assured, the Gray Flame White Wolf''s Star Core is yours." Zhuang Xun smiled, explaining, "To be honest, my target is a Flame Crystal Stone occupied by that Gray Flame White Wolf. This information was top-secret intel I paid a high price for, and I came here quickly.
If I leave empty-handed this time, the Flame Crystal Stone might be taken by someone else.
Su Yuan, you''re strong. If we team up and solve the Green Flame White Wolf together, the Star Core is yours, and the Flame Crystal Stone is mine. What do you say?"
Flame Crystal Stone? No wonder.
Su Yuan suddenly understood.
Flame Crystal Stone was a second-stage fire attribute mineral. Though not a particularly high-grade material, its high demand made it often out of stock and hard to buy.
"Alright, no problem!"
Su Yuan didn''t think much more and immediately nodded in agreement.
The elite-level Green Flame White Wolf was undoubtedly stronger than the Wind Running Weasel he encountered yesterday. Still, it wasn''t impossible to handle. Unlike the speed-focused Wind Running Weasel, he had confidence in using Instant Movement to escape from the Green Flame White Wolf if necessary.
"Good!" Zhuang Xun''s eyes brightened, "Then let''s go, and recover a bit on the way."
