Chapter 70 Useful Qi Unleashing true strength.
With a swipe, Helen ducked down avoiding the hit and stabbing the wolf\'s leg quickly and moving back. The dagger pierced deep and managed to injure the wolf this gave her enough time to move back a bit and this time, Berg came forward and sliced on of the wolf\'s nails off.
The wolf in annoyance, moved back a bit to create space not knowing that Helen was already behind the wolf. Helen jumped up and then came crashing down with a stab to the wolf\'s back. The dagger sinked in showing that the dagger was an intermediate dagger. This annoyed the wolf a lot that it shook its body forcefully trying to get Helen off and it worked.
Helen was sent flying back from the force of the shake but it was enough of a distraction for Berg was now in front of the wolf and then he swung his sword towards the wolf\'s neck but the wolf already anticipating that the man was dangerous, quickly grabbed Berg who was unable to react in time.
Helen seeing Berg being held by the wolf, quickly thought of a way to help him. With one of her dagger still lunged into the wolf\'s back, she charged in with her remaining one dagger. Meanwhile the wolf was bringing Berg close to its mouth trying to eat his head off.
But Helen was already there just in time. With a jump, Helen was now high enough to reach the wolf\'s claw that was holding onto Berg and then she quickly stabbed the furry part. This made the wolf to howl in pain and then it let Berg go by flinging him away so it could focus on the annoying female.
Luckily for Berg, he wasn\'t flung too far. But he was thrown with such force that a speck of blood came out from his mouth when he coughed. Quickly standing up, he could see Helen dodging and weaving from the wolf\'s paw strike.
"Damn! I never thought an intermediate beast was going to give me much trouble like this." Berg said as he picked up his sword for another round.
In a few seconds, Berg was now in front of the wolf and directly behind Helen waiting for the perfect moment to strike. And finally the time came, the wolf moved back to create space again then it dashed towards Helen with full speed and when it got to Helen\'s position, it swiped again with its claws but Helen quickly rolled over avoiding the swipe and now Berg was ready.
In annoyance, Berg activated the Qi coursing through his body then he used the Qi to coat his blade and also to strengthen his body and now he was ready. With a full and strong swung towards the paw coming towards him, Berg sliced the claw off with ease.
Then he pushed off from the ground with full strength and he fell onto the wolf\'s body. The wolf seemingly sensing the danger coming from the human, tried to shake Berg off but he stood strong and he swung his blade vertically towards the beast. The blade sliced through the beast with ease.
The beast fell together with Berg who was on top of it fell with it too. Climbing down from on top of the beast, Berg walked towards Helen to see if she was okay. After confirming she was okay, Berg started extracting the crystal which was located at the beast\'s stomach area.
Then Berg chucked the crystal up and down and noticed how a little clear it was then he chucked it towards Helen to keep it. "I wonder how that guy is. Do you wanna go look for him?" Berg asked.
"Yes, come on let\'s go. He might have also run into trouble." Helen said about to walk in the direction of broken trees when she saw someone dressed in a black robe walking towards them.
"No need, I\'m okay." Jake said coming over towards them.
"Did you encounter any trouble?" Berg asked.
Not wanting to tell them about him encountering the wolf, Jake decided to lie because he knew if he told them about encountering a wolf and him defeating it, they will Inquire about how he did it and he wasn\'t ready to start coming up with excuses.
"Aside from being chucked so far back by a wolf, what else could I have encountered?"
Berg just shook his head and was about to scold Jake that it he didn\'t encounter any trouble then why didn\'t he encounter any problem why didn\'t he come sooner he could have helped a lot but Helen\'s eyes told him not to say anything.
"So what now?" Helen asked.
"What do you mean what now? We go back to the Guild." Berg said.
"No, not yet. I need to hunt more beasts before I go back." Jake said.
"Are you nuts? I already told you that this forest is one for wolfs and since you weren\'t here, let me recap to you. It was difficult taking it down, I had to use my Qi to take it down." Berg complained.
"If you want to leave, you are free to do so. Just drop the portable telepoter button for me before you leave." Jake said about to go deeper into the forest but before that, he stretched his palm waiting for the button.
He had given it to Berg earlier before they started hunting. He was about to give it to Jake but he was stopped by Helen.
"Don\'t worry, we would hunt for as long as you want to." Helen said with a smile.
Berg looked at her but she just nodded her head and then Berg sighed. "Fine no problem, let\'s go and hunt." Enjoy more content from empire
"Very well then." Jake said heading deeper into the forest along with Berg and Helen.
