Chapter 1620: Chapter 697: Dancing with Wolves, the Shattering Iron Rain

The boss who was fastening his belt took a hit to the entire back with iron pellets as the gunfire sounded, sending flesh splattering, and his body was flung by the bullet’s impact, crashing into the big locust tree.

Brother Overcoat reacted the fastest, not even having time to fasten his trousers. He pulled up his waistband and turned to run.

He instinctively wanted to shout ‘it’s coming’ to tell Lin Baici, but swallowed the words back.

Shouting now would most likely attract the creature’s attention, becoming the first target for it to hunt.

“God Lin, it’s coming!”

Classmate Zhou was not so clever and shouted out loud.

Others were also sprinting wildly, shouting to inform Lin Baici.

Now everything is in chaos!

Bang!

Another gunshot rang out.

A boss screamed ‘ah’ miserably and fell forward, his legs hit, bleeding all over the ground.

“Save me!”

The boss pleaded.

No one helped because staying meant death.

Swish!

The wolf-headed figure with a bullet belt slung diagonally, holding a shotgun in one hand, flipped over from behind a broken wall and ran in this direction.

“God Lin, the creature is here!”

Lu Changming’s heart rate instantly jumped to one hundred and eighty, breath huffing quickly with palms sweating from tension.

There was still no movement in the well water.

“What to do?”

Lu Changming looked anxiously at Hua Yue Yu: “You should have a way to urgently contact God Lin, right?”

“No!”

Having gone through so much rule pollution, Hua Yue Yu was fairly knowledgeable and experienced. Although a bit flustered, she kept her wits and knew what to do.

Perhaps Hua Yue Yu liked Lin Baici too much and didn’t want anything to happen to him. Thus, the moment she saw the wolf-headed creature attack, her thought was how to best protect Lin Baici.

That was to immediately relocate, diverting that creature!

If the wolf-headed figure knew Lin Baici was in the water, pulling a waiting trick, then Lin Baici was doomed.

“Run quickly, go find Red Medicine!”

Hua Yue Yu turned and sprinted. She worried those people would shout Lin Baici’s name by the well, attracting the wolf-headed person’s attention, so she kept yelling.

“Quick, get into the village!”

“As long as you find Red Medicine, you’ll be safe!”

“Don’t stop, you’ll die!”

Despite her petite frame, as a God Hunter, Hua Yue Yu’s physique was enhanced—ordinary people couldn’t compare. When running with all her might, she easily left those people over thirty meters behind.

Then she quickly slowed down.

She worried running too fast might make Lu Changming and the others despair, making them return to the well to find Lin Baici.

The wolf-headed creature reached the boss whose legs were shot full of holes, and pointed the gun barrel at his head.

“Don’t kill…”

The boss didn’t finish his words,

Gunshot sounded!

Bang!

The boss’s head shattered into bits.

The wolf-headed figure, holding a double-barreled shotgun in the right hand, twirled the gun and placed it over the shoulder, with a leisurely expression, jogging to give chase, like playing a hunting game.

…

Splashes!

Lin Baici broke through the water surface, revealing his head.

Huff!

Holding breath for nearly twenty-five minutes, Lin Baici began to breathe again, feeling a sense of rebirth.

Despite holding the White River Dolphin’s Tooth, preventing suffocation, those used to breathing felt immense discomfort holding breath for too long. Moreover, the dark environment of the well water, coupled with the immense water pressure, creating a confined space, heavily taxed the spirit.

Lin Baici didn’t call for help to be pulled up because it was eerily quiet above; he didn’t hear anything.

Something is wrong!

“Could it be the wolf-headed figure is here?”

Lin Baici was startled inside, no longer thinking to conserve Divine Power, immediately activating NO BODY, teleporting to the well’s edge, and made a quick dodge to avoid getting hit.

While dodging, Lin Baici quickly scanned his surroundings.

A headless body lay on the ground over ten meters away, and further away under the big locust tree was another corpse, the blood smeared all over the trunk.

Lin Baici looked worriedly towards the village, wondering how long the creature had been around?

Lin Baici didn’t rush to support but immediately crouched down, placing the box in his hand on the ground, preparing to open it first.

If it were Soldier Sheepskin inside, that’d be great!

The box was wooden, flat, and long, resembling a violin case. Soaked in the well water for so long, it was severely rotted, and green algae had grown all over.

A palm-long bronze lock sealed the box, the kind commonly seen in ancient historical dramas, adorned with dragon and phoenix patterns.

Worried about damaging the sheepskin, Lin Baici didn’t forcibly break it but cautiously pried the box open with his Bronze Sword.

Inside was a large packet of brown oil paper.

Lin Baici touched it, the waterproofing was excellent. He took off his clothes, wiped the water stains dry from the oil paper in a few swift motions, and then unwrapped it.

A white sheepskin coat appeared in Lin Baici’s view.

Even though confined in oil paper for so long, its fur remained undyed, still pure white and flawless, each strand stood up, a shake made it seem like waves on the Mongolian steppes.

Beautiful, luxurious!

However, the style was somewhat unsophisticated and rustic.

Lin Baici knew without trying it on that wearing this thing would make one look like an old man. If holding a tobacco pipe and driving a flock of sheep, that image…

Perfect!

[Soldier Sheepskin Coat, wearing it turns you into a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Your hunting ability will increase several times, turning the wilderness into your domain.]

[Any creature seeing you will feel a genetic fear, fearing they’ll be devoured by you.]
