Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade novel Chapter 1173

Chapter 1173 The Wolf Pack 

Apart from waiting for other challengers to arrive at this place, Alex reckoned there really was no other way but to follow them and walk the rest of this journey together. 

Previously, because of his incredible speed, he had left those people far behind. He had no idea when they would arrive at this place, and whether or not they would run into him was still uncertain. 

The waiting period always felt long. Alex sat on a large rock, focusing on his cultivation. Not far from him, about ten meters away, a pack of wild wolves bared their fangs as they watched Alex. However, they were hesitant to attack due to the intimidating aura emanating from him. All they could do was stretch their wolf heads and keep their eyes on Alex. 

Naturally, Alex, with his spiritual energy released, also noticed their presence. As long as they didn’t actively attack him, he wouldn’t take action. 

Unknowingly, nearly two hours had passed. The wolves, which had been waiting for an opportunity to strike, suddenly changed direction. They shifted their attention away from Alex and focused on something in the distance. 

Not far away, a young man in his early twenties, holding a small wooden stick, struck a tree in frustration. He was so exhausted that he could barely lift his legs as he stumbled along. 

After walking for a short while, the young man couldn’t go any further. He plopped down on the ground and complained, “This awful place! If I had known, I wouldn’t have come. How did I even manage to get lost?” 

Taking a bottle of water out of his backpack, the young man opened the cap and started gulping it down. After wiping the corner of his mouth, he let out a refreshed sigh. 

At this moment, he was completely unaware that he was actually in danger. A pair of dark eyes were fixed. on him from a shadowy corner as if waiting for something. 

He was a young man from Venenum Clan named Elijah Brown, who ventured into this forest for the first time. He walked too slowly and lost track of the main group, finding himself alone and lost in the woods. 

Just as he was about to close his eyes and take a good rest before continuing his journey, he heard a rustling sound coming from behind him. Startled, Elijah turned his head to look and froze, his face turning pale with fear. 

At a distance of more than ten meters from him, five or six wild wolves were staring at him. Their large mouths were half-open, revealing sharp fangs and their drool hung from their mouths, making them look extremely terrifying. 

Elijah was just an ordinary Venenum Clan villager, struggling to deal with even a single wolf, let alone facing five or six at once. 

Faced with this situation, he was completely terrified, and his legs turned to jelly. There was no way he could even stand up from the ground, let alone think about escaping. 

Picking up the broken stones from the ground, Elijah threw them at the pack of wolves. Unfortunately, he didn’t hit any of them, and even if he had, it would have been a futile effort. 

As the pack of wolves hadn’t approached yet, Elijah quickly unzipped the backpack, hoping to find something inside that could be used for self-defense.
