16 Namu's Settlement (3)
"Qing Yi and Xiao Qing, protect the others! Use the stones gathered in the camp if they try to attack!" Mu Qing Lang valiantly charged outside of the camp to attract the aggro.
His sudden movement caught the attention of seven Ashen Wolves, with three left in the camp trying to surround the goblins. Every time one of the wolves tries to attack, Qing Yi will use the stones in their hand to attack them.
It was a temporary defensive measure, along with some straw mats that were rolled into a rod to disturb the wolves from charging at them. Occasionally, there are one or two goblins got bitten or scratched from their relentless attack.
Meanwhile...
"Come here!" Mu Qing Lang holds the knife upside down to increase his ability to land critical wounds on the Ashen Wolves. Using this tactic to fight against the wolves, Mu Qing Lang already injured three of them, with four wolves still capable of running around.
"The benefit brought by eating the Xian-Qin Pill is numerous. Not only my fitness point is better, even my ability to fight increases." Mu Qing Lang enjoyed the lighter feeling brought by the additional point of Fitness and Force brought by eating the two Xian-Qin Pills.
Five minutes more, another Ashen Wolf is dealt with. With three wolves left from seven at the beginning of the fight, the wolves lost their confidence in winning this fight.
If the wolf can speak, perhaps they'll complain about how this human fought.
"How can this individual recovery rate is much faster than the Titan Tribe's Lower-Class Orge? Not only that, he's too strong to be a human!" the surprise to the wolves come one after another as they look at their fallen comrades.
If each human was this strong, won't they be domesticated like immediately? None of the wolves present here questioned the possibility!
"Come here!" Mu Qing Lang provokes the Ashen Wolves to attack him. As a beginner fighter, the easiest way to win a fight is by defending instead of attacking. It is also the best choice he could make in this situation.
"AOU! AO... UUU!!!" one of the Ashen Wolves howled and escaped. The other follow suit including those inside the camp. Although the sneak attack can be said as half successful, they lost the fight without any profitable gain.
No, they lost the fight entirely. The pack of Ashen Wolves without an Ashen Wolf King is already short in numbers. With the death of four wolves and two injured, their position is likely to be taken away by another wolf pack if they were to be attacked.
With the wolves are all gone, the goblins quickly went outside the camp and searched for their master. But the moment they found their master, it came with another shock.
Their master single-handedly killed four Ashen Wolves. From what Qing Yi and Xiao Qing knows, the meat from an Ashen Wolf has the gift to strengthen the body. Of course, that's only possible if they were consumed frequently to absorb the strengthening benefits.
As for the injured goblins, Mu Qing Lang distributed one bottle to each of them including the one he caught earlier. Since that fellow wasn't suspected to be a spy from the Namu's Settlement, it wasn't an issue to keep one additional worker.
That night, everyone returned to their bed early. One of the reason is due to the big harvest tomorrow, and the second is caused by the exhaustion from the fight in the afternoon. But that was only for the goblin and not Mu Qing Lang.
The fight ended prematurely, but it was enough for Mu Qing Lang.
Surprisingly, each Ashen Wolf he defeated provides him with 25 Experience Points. And at the same time, a kind of stone is harvested from their skull, carrying a deep blood color. It is likely the rumored bloodstone that only existed in typical light novels.
After the goblin removed the edible flesh from the corpses, their hides are gathered and returned to Mu Qing Lang if he would like to process them. As a predator, the meat, bones, hide and bloodstone on their body are all precious materials.
Once he entered the carriage, Mu Qing Lang went to the table to check on his status panel.

"I'm 88 points away from 1,000 experience point. I wonder what will happen when the experience reaches the border?" Mu Qing Lang smiled at his own Status Panel. After the status, he proceeds to the three selections at the left bottom upper corner.
[*Ashen Bloodstone*]
[*Ashen Wolf Pelt*]
[*Ashen Wolf Scraps*]
"Let's go on with the reading without stopping in between." although the fight did not sap away too much of his stamina, having a proper rest before the harvest day tomorrow is still better than waking up late on the last day of his second week.

Ashen Bloodstone [Unranked]
Evaluation: a tribe-exquisite stone formed from the bloodline

Ashen Wolf Pelt [common]
Evaluation: Proper animal leather, durable against piercing attack but weak against slashes
Condition: Perfect condition. This material can be made into proper tool or equipment if given sufficient side materials.
-
Information: Taken from the dead Ashen Wolf. The pelt of this creature often is on demand, especially for the archers or hunters. Tools made from this pelt had their comfortability enhanced, as for the leather armor, they are resistant to strong piercing force. Material quality is too low to be graded.

"Alright. I'm done checking the items looted from the four wolves, but will there be anything to be made? I hope the Material Preparation Shelf can process them into a tool or weapon. Hell, even an armor should be great for me to put on." Mu Qing Lang anticipates the surprises the shelf might bring.

"Alright... I guess it's either two vests, or one cloak or claw. I don't need the weapon for now, so it's either two vests, one for me or both for the goblins, or a cloak. What should I get..." Mu Qing Lang becomes indecisive when it comes to such matter.
"I'll get the cloak for myself first. For the others, we can slowly start hunting when the material to make weapon and armor comes from Ka-Ruo Settlement." Mu Qing Lang decided to craft the Ashen Cloak for himself first.
Because no matter what people might say, the four Ashen Wolves and their product come from his own effort, without any outside help except the goblins handling the meat. Such contribution allowed him to decide what to make from the materials.
Furthermore, who can create these kinds of equipment except his Carriage of Immortality? If somebody has to take the blame for this, blame themselves for not having their own Carriage of Immortality then!
His finger moved to the [Ashen Cloak] tag and tapped on it once. After waiting for more than ten minutes, the shelf finally finished crafting the Ashen Cloak. The cloak was 185cm long and 125cm wide. When he grabbed the edge of both side, it was long enough to wrap himself inside the Asen Cloak.
"I got a piece of equipment at last!"
