"I thought they'd be stronger than that."
He walked over and kicked the corpse of the alpha wolf. "Posed so menacingly, I expected them to be more formidable. Tch."
Saying this, he crouched down and began to skin and butcher the meat.
"Well, they say cultivation isn't possible here," Yi Feng muttered. "So I guess the animals here aren't much different from those in the mortal world."
It must be that the environment of the Immortal Realm is different, making them look a bit strange.
Yi Feng cut up the meat from all three wolves, prepared some to eat by making a fire, and stored the rest in his storage ring.
As for the wolf pelts, Yi Feng carefully preserved the alpha's hide intact.
The wind and sand here were too harsh; his clothes were already tattered and worn.
This wolf pelt would make a good garment to wear and shield him from the wind and sand.
After dealing with the wolf meat and donning the alpha's pelt, Yi Feng continued westward....
...
The fierce wind howled, and an indeterminate amount of time passed.
A fire-red silhouette emerged from the sandstorm.
The figure drew closer.
Jiang Zhi's face was deathly pale; she had been struggling terribly on Dark Shadow Island these past days. The animals that survived here had all been baptized by the power of frenzy.
While humans couldn't cultivate here, the animals that had adapted to the frenzied power could.
Compared to cultivating immortals, these animals were even more terrifying.
Having cultivated in the frenzied power, these beasts were all savage and bloodthirsty.
If encountered, one would be like a lamb to the slaughter without cultivation power. As for using cultivation...
Take her current situation, for instance. During this time, she had used spiritual power to deal with the mutated animals she encountered, only to be backlashed by the frenzied power.
Not only did it affect her cultivation, but one wrong move could result in a miserable death.
So she dared not use her cultivation power anymore and could only barely sustain herself through bigu fasting.
Jiang Zhi slowly emerged from the sandstorm.
As she drew near, she saw the corpses on the ground.
Corpses littering the ground weren't unusual here, as they were typically human remains.
But when she saw the bodies of the Shadow Wolves, her face showed shock.
Other animals needed to accept the baptism of frenzied power to survive on Dark Shadow Island, mutating to adapt to the environment.
But Shadow Wolves were different. They were born and raised here.
Every blade of grass, every stone, every gust of wind, every grain of sand, even every thread of frenzied power on Dark Shadow Island could make them stronger.
On this island, Shadow Wolves were the true overlords.
It's no exaggeration to say that they ruled over the life and death of all beings on Dark Shadow Island.
Except for intra-pack conflicts, almost no force could cause their death here.
If it were pack infighting... Jiang Zhi looked around.
Apart from the three wolf corpses, there was nothing else.
In a pack conflict, there would surely be more than just three wolf bodies.
If not bodies, there should at least be blood traces from other Shadow Wolves.
Yet here, there were only three wolf corpses and blood stains...
Could it be...
A thought appeared in her mind, but Jiang Zhi quickly dismissed it.
It was impossible for anyone to kill Shadow Wolves, especially the ferocious alpha Shadow Wolf.
Perhaps it was still due to a small-scale wolf pack dispute, where they killed each other.
Jiang Zhi crouched down, wanting to examine the wounds on the three wolves.
Unfortunately, when she lifted the fur of two wolves, let alone wounds, most of the good meat had been stripped away. Only the bones remained intact.
As for the alpha wolf, not only was the meat gone, but even the skin was missing.
Seeing the traces of cooking nearby, Jiang Zhi understood that someone must have been here before her.
They had taken advantage of the situation, eaten the wolf meat, and even skinned the alpha wolf.
Jiang Zhi swallowed hard. After a moment's consideration, she picked up the bones from the ground, went to where the fire had been, and began to work.
For the first time in a long while, Jiang Zhi ate her fill.
This allowed her to maintain bigu fasting without using her cultivation power, giving her a brief respite.
After a short rest, she got up and walked towards the distance.
The yellow wind mixed with sand particles blew past, stinging Jiang Zhi's face.
She couldn't help but think of the young man who had earlier said he wanted to leave Dark Shadow Island.
With mere Human Immortal strength, in this hellish Dark Shadow Island, he should be dead by now.
Recalling his lively appearance when he had eagerly asked her to team up and leave Dark Shadow Island, Jiang Zhi felt a bit downcast.
Even with a life as fragile as grass, he hadn't given up hope of survival.
It was admirable, really.
But what of it...
Among the countless dry bones on this ground were numerous high-level immortals, let alone a mere Human Immortal...
