The Scorching wolves repeatedly tried to pounce on Ye Tian Yun, but an invisible wall blocked them every time and pushed them back.
Ye Tian Yun shook his head and looked around, trying to understand the new atmosphere.
"Can you feel it?" Wang Yao asked.
"The Qi..." Ye Tian Yun frowned.
Wang Yao nodded, "Yes. There is no Qi here. Don't waste your Qi unless you have no other way out."
Ye Tian Yun lightly nodded.
He was skeptical of the situation and even very cautious because, without qi, his battle prowess would decrease significantly.
But to his surprise, there was not much difference.
Never fighting in this situation, Ye Tian Yun underestimated the limitations of a cultivator's physical strength.
The flow of qi through the body directly improves muscles and physical strength. Therefore it's safe to say that a cultivator is quite strong compared to mortals even without the presence of Qi.
'And it's not like this is the first time I have lost my Qi....'
Ye Tian Yun distinctively remembered his time in the high-tier spirit Vein of Gracious Sword Sect, where he did his acupuncture.
'It took so much time....'
Ye Tian Yun had no intention to repeat that process thrice.
He sighed and observed the surroundings.
He was in a stairway that was leading upwards.
Raising his head, Ye Tian Yun noticed the exit of the stairway. It was just a hundred or so steps above.
But that didn't mean that getting there was going to be easy.
Because Ye Tian Yun had already sensed several presences through the broken stairway.
When he had landed on the steps, he had instinctively spread out his qi sense to defend himself against any immediate danger.
At first, there was nothing, but after a few moments, especially right now, Ye Tian Yun could sense several presences in front of him.
But there was one problem.
The whole path in front of him was pretty normal.
Ye Tian Yun didn't see any issue except for the broken steps here and there.
"Was I hallucinating?" Ye Tian Yun asked.
"-you think they can hide? They burn in an invisible flame. And by burning themselves, they are shrouded by the invisible flame, making them invisible too."
Ye Tian Yun frowned, but something interesting caught his eyes just then.
Just a few steps above him, a wolf had appeared!
To be more specific, it was a wolf's head, but it was as alive as it could be. And the head was seemingly hanging in the air.
"This wolf..." Wang Yao said, "He had poked his head out of the Invisible Flame."
Ye Tian Yun frowned, "This flame is quite weird."
Wang Yao smiled, "I bet it's one of the rewards of this dungeon. This flame is very powerful, especially for a cultivator like you."
"Yeah," Ye tian Yn lightly nodded.
Above the steps, the wolf frowned a little while staring at Ye Tian Yun, as if irritated by the fact that the enemy had no fear in his eyes.
"Grrr....." It growled and gathered momentum in its hind legs, the wolf suddenly disappeared.
Ye Tian Yun, who had his spirit sense spread out, could sense the moments of the wolf, and without hesitation, he sliced his swords in the air in front of him.
-SIu! Siu!
-BAM!
A wolf sliced in pieces appeared in front of him, on the ground.
Ye Tian Yun had killed another Burning wolf.
'I don't see the prompt....'
Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but think about the prompt that would appear before him whenever he killed the wolf on the previous floor.
'Is it because there are still some Burning Wolves left?'
Ye Tian Yun looked around and counted about fourteen more burning wolves.
"Fourteen..." Ye Tian Yun spoke as if informing Wang Yao about the situation.
Wang Yao frowned upon hearing this number, "I have not even seen two Burning Wolves together, and here there are so many of them...."
Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips, "The real enemy is Fenrir... king of these wolves. Most probably because of that wolf, there are so many of these."
WAng Yao nodded, "I guess so."
Ye Tian Yun smiled, "Alright then, let's get done with these and move on to the hall."
Without wasting any more time, Ye Tian Yun moved, and this time, he went for the kill instead of waiting for the wolves to attack him.
