Chapter 82: It Can Speak!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Get ready?" Hao Ren could not keep his feet still when the MDT told him to get ready to fight. "Ready for what? Do I really have to fight with the wolves?"

Hao Ren looked at what he was wearing. He was unarmed. He was wearing pyjamas and no shoes! He roughly remembered that every black wolf on the prairie was taller and bigger than him! The MDT had actually told him confidently to "get ready" under such circumstances. He had the sudden urge to tie the piece of junk to a rope and turn it into a bolas. It was the only armed method he could think of in his position.

The MDT pretended to be unaware of the dissatisfaction in Hao Ren's tone. It swung into Hao Ren's pocket and inexplicably said, "You’ve got your pay but, how much you can take out this time depends on you."

As Hao Ren was about to ask the MDT what it meant, an audible rustle suddenly came from the nearby bushes. The wolves had seemingly noticed that they had alerted their "prey" and quickly shrank the blockade.

Like the MDT mentioned, it was not realistic to try getting out of the siege by force. Hao Ren could only stay focused and prepared to face his first challenge in The Plane of Dreams.

He recalled the scene in which he faced hundreds of armored wraiths in the crypt. Honestly, there was little reference value in that battle. He was accompanied by two super women with strong combat powers. Also, the armored wraiths just woke up so they were slow and clumsy. They had no advantage other than their tenacious vitality. Therefore, it was easy to handle the armored wraith. All he did was calm down and then kick them hard. However, dealing with the wolves in The Otherworld was a whole different story. Perhaps these wolves were "lower" than the armored wraiths in Vivian’s eyes. However, as a man with little combat experience, the threat of predators was obviously higher.

Hao Ren suddenly found it a little ridiculous. He ran into The Plane of Dreams without a second thought and sought trouble for himself just to improve his strength. Did it really make sense?

A light in the darkness interrupted his thoughts. The wolves were getting closer. The smell of wolves wafted through the air and dark shadows appeared in sight. The wolves smelled so close he could touch them. Hao Ren did not know what to do should the beasts leap at him. Nonetheless, he guessed that the pack would probably send one or two first to test the water. That was how Animal World portrayed the wolves’ behavior. He did not know how big the difference was between wolves in The Plane of Dreams and wolves in the real world...

The confrontation between them did not last long. After the wolves found that the ambush had failed, one of them could not restrain itself any longer and leapt at Hao Ren.

Hao Ren saw a huge shadow enlarging rapidly in front of him. He was extremely focused at that moment. His muscles were so tight, they almost burst open. All of a sudden, he dodged. Before he dodged, he fantasized that he would punch the black wolf right in the chest and got his first shot perfectly. But in fact, he did not have the courage to do it. When facing the danger of a fast attack, dodging was a man’s first instinct.

At least, he dodged well. The strange, giant black wolf was distinctly more fierce and agile than any wolf on earth yet, Hao Ren was still able to dodge it. While he dodged the attack, Hao Ren instinctively brandished his right hand. He vaguely felt like he had hit something but he was not sure how powerful the punch was.

The black wolf turned quickly after falling to the ground. It kept a certain distance and confronted Hao Ren. Moonlight scattered across the prairie; Hao Ren’s enhanced vision allowed him to see the beast’s looks vividly.

They were roughly the same as the wolves on earth, but they were two times larger than normal wolves and they were all black. There were many plate-like, black protuberances on their heads and waists which seemed to be some kind of keratose. This was simply not the same species as the wolves on earth.

There was no disturbance among the surrounding wolves. They just slightly adjusted their formation and kept the encirclement tighter. Hao Ren saw hostility in countless pairs of eyes. He was stunned. These stares were real. The wolves around him were observing the current situation with a keen look.

The first black wolf growled at Hao Ren threateningly and sounded irritated. One of the protrusions on its waist was broken. It seemed that Hao Ren had hit it at random.

The beast pounced on Hao Ren again in the blink of an eye.

However, Hao Ren was in a much better state at the moment. He was surprised to find that his reflexes could keep up with the strange wolf’s extreme hits and this boosted his confidence. After making sure that the wolves around him did not intend to join the fight, he felt more reassured. Each time the wolf pounced on him, he repeated his actions. He fixed his eyes on the wolf and observed its movements. Then he dodged and punched it.

During the fight, he found that he could see every inch of the wolf’s hair even at such a fast pace. In the moment of of his punch, he could even slightly adjust the angle of his attack. This was the kind of feeling he could not experience when he was dealing with the sluggish, armored wraiths using brute force in the crypt.

Hao Ren punched the strange wolf in its belly. He did his best to not just hit the keratose armor. Therefore, the second punch was obviously much more powerful. The wolf whimpered, failed to grab Hao Ren’s shirt and fell. However, Hao Ren soon felt a searing pain on his face. When he touched his face, he found that his hands were full of blood.

He could have fallen to the ground because it meant that his head was almost bitten off by the wolf earlier on. But he had no time to quiver in fear. The wolf turned and rushed at him again as soon as it fell. At this point, Hao Ren reacted slower than the wolf. He watched the wolf’s mouth as it approached him but his body could not keep up with his mind. He could only watch the jaws bite his arm.

"Damn…" Hao Ren spontaneously shouted. However, before he could recall what had just happened, he realized something. "Eh, why doesn’t it hurt?"

The wolf hung heavily on his arm and it was really weighing down on him. Yet, when Hao Ren looked carefully, he found his arm covered with a thin layer of translucent membrane. The light membrane was thin but indestructible. The wolf lost lots of its fangs when it bit on the membrane.

The wolf reacted slowly. After chewing his hand for a few seconds, it realized something was not right. The wolf howled in pain and quickly retreated. It ran around in circles a few meters away with a mouthful of blood.

Hao Ren was still confused. The MDT explained, "The two punches were quite good. You barely passed the mentality adjustment. This shows that you can keep up the fighting mentality in the case of ineffective assistive tools. The conditions are judged to be fulfilled. As the agent, your basic abilities have reached the target. Now, you get a Rigid Shield. Though it's not as good as the Psionic Shield, it has no radiation and it’s good enough for you."

Hao Ren was ecstatic to hear it. Finally Raven 12345 did not cheat him this time!

"But I have to warn you, the Rigid Shield is limited in capacity. The "gadget" that you use to activate the shield in your body is symbiotic with your body. It’s just for protecting the agent to keep him alive. Don’t think of it as invincible. Of course, it’s more than enough to deal with these wolves."

"That’s good enough!" Hao Ren waved excitedly. When he found that he finally had something to call a "skill", he could not wait to try it. So, he pounced on the other wolf closest to him.

The wolves finally stopped watching. They were in an uproar. Four wolves pounced on Hao Ren at the same time from two different directions. He did not dodge and let them bite him as he was protected by the shield. After the wolf lost some of its teeth it finally attacked Hao Ren’s body. The brute force and agility of the wolf were real. Two of them were fighting one on one. 　　

The battle was massive and astonishing. In fact, it was not so chaotic but it would appear to be more powerful this way. Anyway, Hao Ren felt the way he fought was quite intense, and neglected the MDT when it said, "You're fighting like an animal". In the end, a reckless man was afraid of a rude man while a rude man was afraid of a fearless man. Hao Ren was as strong as the black wolves and was protected by the shield. After a while the wolf was beaten. The other wolves were also hesitant to come forward after realizing that this weirdo could not be hurt. But the wolf was still fierce and tough. The wounded giant wolf still straightened its neck and roared, "Do you dare to spare my life?"

How could Hao Ren possibly let go. "No way! Who attacked me first just now?"

"I was just watching. The first one to attack you is another one!" The wolf roared, looked around and yelled, "Don't just watching you cowards, come and help me!"

"Doesn’t matter how many of you, I'm going to grab just you… the heck you can talk?!"

"The heck you react so slowly?"
