Shen Qingyao bought dozens of small animals from the trading market—rabbits, mice, and even frogs.
She poured the poisonous mixture she had prepared in advance, made from mushrooms and tree sap, into the stomachs of these small animals.
She knew that wolves were suspicious by nature, so she deliberately placed some of the animals on top of the traps and piled the rest near the entrance to the yard, close to the river.
She wasn’t worried about the wolves refusing to take the bait!
The meat placed on the traps was sitting in plain sight, so the wolves would naturally feel safe eating it. All they had to do was avoid the traps nearby.
But they definitely wouldn’t dare!
That left the pile of meat inside the fenced area.
To them, that pile of food wasn’t a trap.
It was a treasure waiting to be stolen!
They would only swallow something without hesitation when they had snatched it themselves!
That afternoon, Shen Qingyao had already practiced shooting her bow. After replenishing her stamina, she had even made more than a thousand arrows.
For dinner, she once again ate a huge chunk of green wolf meat.
Since it was a little greasy, she also gnawed on two tomatoes.
Worried that she wouldn’t have time to submit her food at night, she did it in the evening.
“Host, are you sure you want to submit Mortal-Tier Grade 2 Lettuce ×2,000 and Mortal-Tier Grade 3 Lettuce ×1,000?”
“Confirm!”
“Please confirm the materialization location!”
Without much thought, she selected Anyun County.
“Congratulations, Host! Ten-thousandfold return to Blue Star! You have obtained 12th place on today’s points leaderboard!”
Three thousand heads of lettuce multiplied ten thousand times meant thirty million heads of lettuce!
She wasn’t even in first place!
She looked at the first- and second-place rankings.
Good grief!
One person had submitted 56 Mortal-Tier Grade 5 Human-Faced Monkeys!
Another had submitted one Mortal-Tier Grade 8 Black Panther!
She had underestimated these people!
Forget it. She wasn’t holding back anymore!
She opened the system again and pressed the button.
“Host, are you sure you want to submit Mortal-Tier Grade 4 Lettuce ×1,000?”
“Confirm!”
She had originally planned to keep this lettuce for herself or use it for trading. She hadn’t intended to submit it at all.
But when she thought about the Golden Treasure Chest, she simply couldn’t resist!
She could always grow more vegetables.
But once she missed out on a Golden Treasure Chest, it would be gone!
“Please confirm the materialization location!”
“Anyun County!”
“Congratulations, Host! All supplies have been returned to Blue Star ten thousandfold! You have obtained second place on today’s points leaderboard!”
She still couldn’t beat Wang Guodong!
Shen Qingyao clicked her tongue in surprise.
That guy had actually submitted another 20 Human-Faced Monkeys!
She couldn’t compete.
She really couldn’t compete with him at all!
Forget it.
She had never gotten second place before, so she might as well take it this time!
Second place should also come with a Golden Treasure Chest, right?
What she didn’t know was that the moment her ID appeared on the leaderboard, the entire Zhonghua erupted!
“I knew it! I knew it! 666 Boss wouldn’t let us down!”
“Hahahaha! 666 Boss is fine! She’s fine!”
“God knows how worried I was today! Thank goodness she’s okay!”
“I’m from Anyun County! I told you all a long time ago that she was fine, but none of you believed me! It’s a shame we have to move out now. Otherwise, I could show you what our beautiful Anyun County looks like!”
For the sake of civilian safety, all residents living near the fixed materialization points had been evacuated.
The entire Anyun County had now been taken over by the authorities.
Therefore, not many people knew that Anyun County had already been covered in greenery!
Anyun County had now become Zhonghua’s agricultural base!
They had already begun working hard toward becoming self-sufficient!
Meanwhile, Shen Qingyao was hiding in the cornfield, fully prepared and waiting for the wolf pack to arrive.
Sure enough, as soon as dusk fell, the wolf pack quietly approached.
Shen Qingyao looked at the green wolves in the distance.
Each one was five to six meters long.
Her expression grew solemn!
The wolf pack lingered outside the fence.
As expected, they didn’t eat the meat hanging over the traps!
They merely sniffed it a couple of times before cautiously avoiding the area.
They had originally planned to invade through the fence near the house.
But after spotting the pile of meat by the river, they immediately changed their target.
Shen Qingyao quietly waited for their feast to begin!
About five minutes later, the wolf pack snatched up the meat and began howling toward the sky.
“Awooo! Awooo!”
The orderly formation of the pack suddenly descended into chaos!
Some of the wolves even began attacking one another!
Even the alpha wolf started frantically biting the wolves around it!
Now!
This was her chance!
Shen Qingyao seized the opportunity and began firing arrows from hiding!
It was already dark, and the wolf pack was in complete chaos. None of the wolves noticed the arrows she was firing at them!
After she took down more than a dozen wolves in succession, the smell of blood only drove the pack into an even greater frenzy!
Shen Qingyao knew that an opportunity like this was extremely rare, so she simply began firing three arrows at once!
“Awooo—!”
Perhaps her luck was simply bad. The Wolf King actually regained its senses.
Seeing its wolves fighting among themselves, it was furious and immediately threw back its head and howled at the moon.
That howl quickly brought the wolves back to their senses.
They realized that they had been killing each other!
Yet they hadn’t even seen where their enemy was!
The Wolf King, however, wasn’t stupid.
It charged straight toward the cornfield!
After killing so many wolves, Shen Qingyao had already grown bolder.
She drew another arrow and fired it at the Wolf King!
The first arrow missed!
The second arrow missed as well!
The third arrow finally pierced the Wolf King’s eye!
“Awooo—!”
The Wolf King gritted its teeth and charged toward Shen Qingyao with the arrow still embedded in its eye!
The bow was useless now!
She pulled out her Spirit-Tier Hoe and swung it down!
The Wolf King’s eyes practically filled with stars as it fainted on the spot!
Shen Qingyao immediately seized the opportunity and struck it several more times.
Only then did the Wolf King finally die!
The ordinary wolves following behind the Wolf King charged forward, baring their teeth.
One of them even bit down on Shen Qingyao’s leg!
She swung the Spirit-Tier Hoe backward and slammed it into the wolf’s back.
They said wolves had “copper heads, iron bones, and tofu waists.”
Her hoe had landed right on its waist!
The adult male wolf was knocked to the ground by a single blow!
Shen Qingyao then swung her hoe at several nearby wolves that were closing in.
Although she didn’t kill them, she injured them all!
Now that the Wolf King was dead and the pack had lost its leader, the remaining wolves finally panicked and fled in all directions, their tails tucked between their legs!
Unfortunately for them, her fence wasn’t so easy to get past!
Shen Qingyao endured the pain and didn’t even bother drinking a healing potion.
Instead, she continued beating the fleeing wolves while they were down, killing several more.
The pack’s morale had already completely collapsed!
After their mutual slaughter and Shen Qingyao’s attacks, only about half of the wolves remained!
They finally found the gap in the fence through which they had entered and fled through it.
When everything was over, roughly forty to fifty wolf corpses were left on the ground.
Shen Qingyao collapsed onto the ground from exhaustion.
The hand gripping her hoe trembled slightly, but her eyes were shining like light bulbs!
She had killed the Wolf King!
She had killed so many wolves!
So they weren’t actually as terrifying as she had imagined!
It turned out that her physical strength had long since reached the point where she could actually go toe-to-toe with the green wolves!
She had simply been too timid.
That’s why she had dragged things out until now!
She took out a Basic Healing Potion and gulped it down, then collected all the remaining wolf corpses from the ground.
She couldn’t be bothered with the rest of the mess.
She didn’t even have the strength to repair the broken fence!
Her legs trembling, she leaned on her hoe and slowly shuffled back toward the shelter.
Her expression was a mixture of grief and joy. She laughed as she walked, then cried while laughing.
Covered in blood, she looked almost like a madwoman.
“Hahaha… If only I had been this strong back then…”
Shen Qingyao’s emotions were in turmoil.
After returning, she didn’t even take off her clothes before collapsing onto the sofa and falling asleep.
