Chapter 978: Chapter 978
Baldier's wolf pack didn't possess particularly powerful combat capabilities; they merely served as his eyes.
Hua Hua could easily kill these things, but their only purpose was to help Baldier confirm the enemy's position.
Then Baldier would launch his attacks from afar.
"When I don't activate the Absolute Barrier Between Two Realms, he determines my position through causality."
"When I activate the Absolute Barrier Between Two Realms, he uses the wolf pack as eyes to find me."
"That means no matter what I do, he has a way to locate my position."
"However, these two methods probably can't be synchronized."
Zhang Yi immediately called Hua Hua and Lele, moving to another location.
So he wasn't the least bit anxious. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs NovєlFіre.net
That night, the wolf pack reappeared around Zhang Yi's hiding place.
A gray wolf narrowed its eyes and wrinkled its nose, sniffing the scent of that person.
Soon, arrows rained down from the sky!
Zhang Yi, hiding in the shadows, saw everything clearly.
The arrow rain descended from above, but instead of shooting toward Zhang Yi, they targeted a distant location.
There, Hua Hua was running at extreme speed. Seeing the arrows tracking it, it let out a sharp roar.
"I already know your attack methods."
A cold smile curled at the corner of Zhang Yi's mouth. He leaped down from above, appearing before Hua Hua after several blinks, and immediately slashed out dozens of times!
Black Void Power collided with silver arrows, erupting in brilliant sparks.
Seeing this, the wolf pack turned and fled without the slightest hesitation.
Zhang Yi shot them down one by one with his gun.
Although these were all Ability Creatures that would reappear after being killed, eliminating them at least prevented continued tracking.
Zhang Yi took Hua Hua and Lele, opened the Dimensional Gate again, and traveled over ten kilometers away.
"I've already figured it out. The wolf pack tracks based on scent. These beasts have incredibly sensitive noses."
Zhang Yi rubbed his own nose, while Hua Hua and Lele gave him strange looks.
He called the wolf pack beasts, so what did that make them?
Zhang Yi patted their heads, a profound smile in his eyes.
"I can conceal my own scent and use the Absolute Barrier Between Two Realms to completely block Baldier's sensing."
"But you two can't. The scent on beasts is too obvious. Especially... excrement."
And he had used this very point to experiment on the wolf pack.
Hua Hua carried a urine bag containing his urine.
So when it ran away, the wolf pack would mistake it for Zhang Yi riding on Hua Hua's back.
That's why Baldier's arrows targeted it.
"I basically have it figured out now."
Zhang Yi took a doll from his Dimensional Space and dressed it in the combat suit he had worn before.
"If the wolf pack can lock onto my position through my scent, then I just need to repeat the same trick."
"But urine might not be the most effective. Body fluids work best."
Zhang Yi glanced at his hand, images of countless heroic figures flashing through his mind.
In situations , heroes usually gritted their teeth and cut their palms to draw blood.
"Actually, I might not need to use that method."
Zhang Yi shook his head. He found it quite difficult to be harsh on himself.
"But I have other ways to substitute."
Soon, Zhang Yi had everything prepared.
He had Hua Hua carry the dummy outside the range of the Absolute Barrier Between Two Realms, then hid inside a building.
He himself quietly left, observing from a distance.
Sure enough, not long after, the disappeared wolf pack emerged again from the toxic miasma.
They chased the scent in the wind. Whenever Zhang Yi, Hua Hua, and Lele stepped out of the Absolute Barrier Between Two Realms, they would quickly locate their positions.
Hua Hua ran out from the ruins carrying Zhang Yi's dummy.
The wolf pack raised their heads, smelling the familiar scent in the air—the scent of prey!
Soon, Baldier, dozens of kilometers away, opened his eyes.
He drew his compound bow to its full extent and released hundreds of silver arrows toward the distant sky!
He knew this wouldn't kill Zhang Yi, but as long as it consumed Zhang Yi's patience and energy, that was enough.
Hundreds of silver arrows streaked across the night sky. Zhang Yi's tactical visor quickly calculated the opponent's position based on the arrow trajectories.
Without another word, he immediately activated the Absolute Barrier Between Two Realms and charged over before the arrows could land!
He knew his opponent would flee immediately after a failed attack, so he had to seize this opportunity.
He couldn't let the other escape again!
Hua Hua, covered in silver armor, faced the deadly attacks from above, its amber and ice-blue pupils filled with vigilance.
It let out a "meow—" and accelerated to its maximum speed, almost becoming a blur.
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"
Arrows descended from the sky, continuously targeting the dummy on Hua Hua's back.
No matter how fast Hua Hua was, it couldn't escape the arrows that tracked the scent.
Baldier kept his eyes closed. The wolf pack were his eyes, and the arrows carried his will.
So his arrows could only be severed, but they would never miss, relentlessly pursuing the enemy until death!
Hua Hua charged recklessly through the ruins, tangling with the hundreds of arrows.
But while it was fast, the arrows weren't slow either.
They wove into a large net in the air, descending like a cage!
A silver arrow pierced through the dummy's body.
Baldier paused slightly, then immediately grew alert.
He knew his opponent's capabilities—they couldn't be so easily pierced by a simple arrow.
Either his opponent was testing him, or—this was a trap prepared for him!
But by the time he understood everything, it was already too late.
The time Hua Hua had bought was enough for Zhang Yi to arrive at full speed.
And Zhang Yi, within the barrier, moved silently, not even stirring the wind.
He had finally found Baldier!
Zhang Yi raised his Thunderbolt. Where his mind focused, no aiming was needed. A Sacred Silver bullet condensed with formidable power shot toward Baldier's head!
As a top-tier hunter and soldier, Baldier could sense the danger of the headshot.
The hair on his back stood straight up. In that split second, there was no time to draw his bow!
A clear, explosive sound echoed deep within the toxic miasma.
That wasn't the sound of the bullet firing—Zhang Yi's ability could erase the explosive noise caused by spatial vibrations.
That sound came from the bullet striking a hard object.
Baldier's feet plowed two deep furrows in the ground. His hands gripped his compound bow tightly, holding it before his head.
On the bow's body, a small but deep dent remained.
The compound bow made of Adamantium had actually been deeply dented by Zhang Yi's single shot!
