The Mountain Wolf was a size larger than an adult wild wolf on Earth, with a ridged back like a mountain range, growing a row of bone spurs like mountain peaks.
However, at this moment, it looked quite miserable; several bone spurs were broken, large patches of fur were burned off, and three or four short arrows were stuck in its body, with one even piercing its left eye.
Its body was covered in countless wounds from blades and swords, with several deep enough to expose white bone.
"This is just too tragic; these Adventurer Squads are truly inhumane!"
Qin Feng muttered to himself, then his body suddenly jolted, and he couldn't help but retreat two steps.
In the dim light, the Mountain Wolf, which was lying on the ground, actually opened its right eye. Its brown pupils seemed to reflect in the darkness, appearing exceptionally bright.
However, the Mountain Wolf merely glanced at Qin Feng, made no reaction, and then closed its eyelids again, barely clinging to life.
"This Mountain Wolf isn't completely dead?"
Qin Feng's heart trembled, then a thought sparked, and he became bolder.
"It's as good as dead anyway. If I seize this opportunity to finish it off, I might gain a lot of reputation, and even an unexpected treasure chest!"
"But as a beast with 310 combat power, getting too close to bite it directly is too risky. Besides, there might be poison in the meat, and if it casually swats me to death, it would be an even greater loss!"
After a moment of thought, for the sake of caution, Qin Feng decided to stab the Mountain Wolf to death with a short arrow from his backpack.
The frontal risk was too great, so Qin Feng moved to the side of the Mountain Wolf, used his tail to wrap a poisonous iron arrow, and thrust it towards the Mountain Wolf's body.
Splat~
With all his might, relying on the sharpness of the arrowhead, Qin Feng barely managed to embed half of the arrowhead into the Mountain Wolf's body.
The Mountain Wolf opened its right eye again, its gaze burning with anger, and tried to get up.
Rustle ~
Under Qin Feng's nervous gaze, the Mountain Wolf failed to get up, the anger in its eyes gradually cooled, replaced by helplessness, and it closed its eyelids again, allowing Qin Feng to do as he pleased.
Seeing this, Qin Feng no longer hesitated, seizing the opportunity to stab specifically at the Mountain Wolf's wounds.
Splat~
Splat~

[Congratulations, Qin Feng, for being the first to kill an elite beast in the eastern Yaqila Mountain Range. This reputation value is doubled, and you have gained the title: Fighting Wolf Lizard (Elite).]

[Congratulations, your reputation has leveled up to: Unknown lv6 (11/40).
Some low-level beasts and Adventurers in the Yaqila Mountain Range now know your title, Fighting Wolf Lizard (Elite). Wolf-type creatures' hatred +20%.]
[Congratulations, you have received a Treasure Chest (Elite).]
Just as Qin Feng's satiety dropped to 5%, and he no longer had the strength to even lift the iron arrow to stab the Mountain Wolf, the good news of the Mountain Wolf's death finally arrived.
Rip~
At this moment, Qin Feng no longer cared about reputation or the treasure chest. The hunger in his body affected his actions, and he immediately tore into the Mountain Wolf's open wound, quickly sending chunks of red meat into his mouth.
"This meat is really chewy, even more satisfying than eating beef jerky!"
Qin Feng realized that he often had to chew for a long time before he could swallow a mouthful of flesh and blood. Fortunately, his biological characteristics had made him extremely adapted to devouring raw meat, unafraid of its rawness... [Satiety +15%]
[Satiety +15%]
[Your satiety has reached 100%; you cannot eat any more!]
After eating until he was completely full, Qin Feng finally stopped, looking at the remaining Mountain Wolf corpse in front of him. He had eaten less than one percent of it.
"If this Mountain Wolf's flesh and blood doesn't spoil, it will be more than enough for me to eat for a month.
The outside world is too dangerous for me right now. As long as I exercise and consume satiety, I can gain growth experience. So, why not temporarily hide in this cave and develop for a while?
I see there are a few water puddles in the cave, enough to drink. At worst, I'll buy the intelligence but not open it yet, waiting until my combat power is stronger before opening them one by one!"
Finally, after enduring hardship, Qin Feng determined his future growth plan and immediately prepared to put the Mountain Wolf in front of him into his storage backpack.
[The corpse is too large to store in the backpack. It can be decomposed and then stored. Decompose?]
"It can even be decomposed; the system's design in this regard is quite authoritative."
Qin Feng naturally had no reason to refuse. The temperature in the Yaqila Mountain Range was relatively high, and the meat might rot and spoil in a few days.
"Decompose."
[Decomposition successful: earth magic core (Elite) x1, Mountain Wolf fresh meat (Common) x60 jin, Mountain Wolf fresh blood (Common) x500ml.
Mountain Wolf internal organs and bones x30 jin, Mountain Wolf head x1, Mountain Wolf bone spurs x6.
Mountain Wolf claws and teeth x44, Mountain Wolf damaged fur x1.]
(Note: The magic core contains most of the elemental power within the beast. The quality of flesh, blood, and materials automatically decreases by one rank, except for special beasts.)
[Iron Arrow (Common) +6]
"One Mountain Wolf almost filled my storage backpack. Luckily, there's still 1 slot left. These five extra iron arrows are an additional gain. Wait, shouldn't they be poisonous iron arrows?"
Qin Feng noticed the anomaly, immediately opened the information to check, and suddenly understood.
[Iron Arrow (Common): A common iron arrow whose poison has been depleted. It has some wear but is still quite sharp.
Sell: 5]
"Forget it, even a mosquito's leg is meat. Let's first check the value of the other gains!"
Qin Feng's gaze fell on his backpack, looking for suitable items to sell to accumulate copper coins for buying intelligence tomorrow.
