Chapter 78: Borrowing Power to Exterminate the Wolf

  In the open space around the rocky outcrops, in the dense forest, and in the thickets of bushes, a vast expanse of wolves, estimated by Guo Fei to be at least over a thousand, surrounded the rocky outcrops.

  Guo Fei climbed up the big tree, held his breath and hid in a spot upwind. The wolves' sense of smell was extremely keen, so he might be discovered at any moment. Guo Fei had to be careful.

  Then, upon closer inspection, under the pile of rocks there was a narrow opening that only allowed one person to pass through. Outside the entrance were scattered over a hundred wolf corpses, almost blocking half of the entrance. There was no doubt that Hu Xiaoyue and the others were trapped inside.

  The wolf pack, in the Blackrock Highlands is a terrifying existence, they live in groups, with the head wolf commanding, small packs of dozens, large packs of hundreds to thousands, acting in unison and attacking fiercely without fear of death, extremely difficult to deal with. Even lions and tigers have to avoid their edge.

  Moreover, after Guo Fei carefully observed from the big tree, he found that three wolves were not ordinary creatures. Their bodies were not only extremely tall and large, but their fur had also changed color. One wolf had a silvery white coat with black and white stripes, looking very majestic. Another wolf had a fiery red coat, as if wearing a red cloak. The third wolf had an earthy yellow coat. The three wolves clearly possessed spiritual intelligence, huddling together and whispering to each other in low tones.

  Guo Fei conveyed a divine thought through the spatial ring to Hu Xiaoyue, telling them to calm down and let him think of a solution slowly.

  Upon closer inspection, Guo Fei discovered that at the entrance of the stone cave amidst the rocky cluster, there were signs of flames burning and ice crystal water stains. It was clear that these three wolves were not simple demonic beasts; they could obviously manipulate the five elements to emit flames and icy cold air for attacks. Guo Fei estimated that even if Hu Xiao Yue and the others charged forward, they wouldn't be able to get out, and going up himself would also be futile. He could only slowly think of a plan and wait for an opportunity.

  After three hours, the white wolf's body was clearly impatient, got up and let out a low growl. A virtual shadow appeared on its head, and a small white light wolf floated out of its head, opened its mouth and sprayed out a pale blue air swirl. The air swirl quickly turned into an ice ball the size of a fist, which whizzed towards the stone cave entrance.

  "Hiss!" A gray gas shot out, accurately hitting the ice ball, which shattered instantly. At the same time, the wolves on the ground rushed up and charged towards the narrow hole.

  "Hsss!" Grey gas flashed, one by one wolf corpses were thrown out, not much time passed, fresh blood gathered into a small stream, flowing down along the muddy soil under the chaotic stone forest.

  "Aroo!" After dropping hundreds of wolf corpses, the white-headed wolf let out a low growl and charged forward. The ferocious wolves that had retreated in fear returned, lying down on the ground, staring intently.

  Guo Fei understood that they were waging a "war of attrition", exhausting Hu Xiaoyue and the others' energy before making a final charge. However, Guo Fei was also somewhat perplexed - with these wolves' intelligence, they wouldn't recklessly fight to the death; could it be that Hu Xiaoyue and the others had taken something precious from the wolf pack?

  "Huh!" Just as Guo Fei was thinking of a solution, a group of forty or fifty people came walking from the mountain path in the distance. Among them, three people were familiar to Guo Fei - Lin Zhen, Lin Shan and the person they called "Liu Shu".

  "This old guy is quite capable, he can actually find this place." Guo Fei remembered when they were in Linjia Fort, from his tone, it seemed that his nose was very special, able to smell and remember unusual smells.

  "Hehe, Lin Chen and Lin Shan, sorry about this. I can only trouble you to lead these beasts away!" Guo Fei smiled secretly, his hand gripping a flying dagger.

  They rushed up to the mountain ridge with extremely swift movements.

  "Hiss!" Just as they were about to rush up the mountain ridge, before they reached the top of the ridge, Guo Fei made his move. The flying knife transformed into a flowing light, shooting towards the large wolf with tawny fur.

  "Pfft!" Due to the distance being too long, the flying knife shot onto its buttocks and only inserted a little. Apparently this wolf's skin was also extremely tough.

  "Roar!" The wolf let out a loud roar, turned its head to look around, and just happened to see Lin Zhen, Lin Shan and others appearing on the mountain ridge.

  "Roar!" Then another angry roar, all the wolves suddenly turned their heads and stared at this group of people.

  "Drive off the wolf pack! Be on guard, retreat!" The hunting team of Linjiabao was very experienced and reacted quickly. A man named Liu Shu shouted loudly, and several men with long guns rushed to the front of the team, while at the same time, the archers flanked left and right, aiming at the wolf pack in front of them.

  "Hiss!" A silver-white mist burst out of his body, and he spat out an ice ball with his mouth, which exploded in front of their team, bursting into a cluster of ice crystals. The two let out a miserable cry, and deep wounds were cut on their faces. Their entire body was instantly covered with ice crystals, and their body shuddered with cold.

  "Hiss!" Another body emerged, with a red glow surrounding the wolf's body. A small, fiery light wolf appeared on its back, opening its mouth to spew out a fireball that shot towards the Lin Family Fort's Hunting Team. Someone beside Lin Chen let out a loud shout and fired a long gun, striking the fireball with a pale red spearhead. The fireball exploded in front of the team, bursting into a ball of flames. The people in front let out miserable cries as they scattered to avoid it.

  "Fire arrows! Fall back!" Liu Shu shouted loudly, a hail of arrows shot out, covering their slow retreat.

  However, the wolf pack apparently thought these people were reinforcements brought by Hu Xiaoyue and others, with eyes glowing red, they howled and charged forward. A skirmish thus unfolded.

  "Seal of Frost!" Lin Chen shouted loudly. He raised his hand and flung out a second-level "Frosty Ground" seal.

  "Hiss!" A burst of light flashed by, and a ten-meter-long layer of ice crystals instantly appeared on the ground, causing the charging wolf pack to slip and fall.

  "Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" The arrows flew wildly, killing a batch. But the wolf pack still charged forward fearlessly and undaunted.

  "Uncle Liu, what's going on? Have these wolves gone mad?" Lin Chen asked in great surprise. It wasn't like this before; when a wolf pack encountered a hunting team, as long as they formed their battle array and cast one or two spells, the wolf pack would automatically retreat.

  "Master! It seems like things are taking a turn for the worse. These wolves and us have clashed to the death, this has never happened before!" Liu Shu seemed to be in a hurry too, shouting loudly.

  "Fireball Seal!" Lin Zhen couldn't be bothered to say more, and with a wave of his hand, he released several fireball seals, igniting large fires in the wolf pack, blasting and burning them to death.

  The Lin family was indeed wealthy and powerful, and such a fireball talisman was thrown around like throwing stones, making Guo Fei's eyes jump straight.

  Finally, the fireball talisman was used up. Then Lin Chen issued a few third-level "Earth Thorn Talismans", and sharp stone thorns suddenly protruded from the ground, killing hundreds of wolves that were rushing over.

  Guo Fei roughly estimated that so far, they had killed four or five hundred wolves. What a rich reserve and shocking attack power! If they let them find Hu Xiaoyue and the others first, just the talismans would be enough to make Hu Xiaoyue and the others unable to withstand it. It seems that these people came prepared.

  The people of Linjiabao had no choice but to retreat violently, which was a wise decision. The wolf pack acted quickly, and once they retreated, their formation would be scattered, and they would soon be surrounded and eliminated by the wolves.

  After the talismans and bows and arrows were used up, they began to fight at close quarters. It was a fierce and bloody battle, with the wolf's eyes glowing red as it bit and clawed with its mouth and paws, while the people of Linjiabao stabbed and slashed with their spears and swords.

  Behind Lin Zhen, three masters from Linjia Fort closely followed. As soon as they made a move, Guo Fei saw that these three people had at least one foot in the ranks of the Zongzhe, and a faint glow emerged from the invisible true energy, with signs of turning into an aura.

  One formless true energy emitted a fiery red color, one was earthy yellow, and one was cyan green, possibly already entering the source realm. After its formless true energy took on the attribute of yuanqi, its attack power became extremely fierce, with aura slashing about like chopping vegetables, instantly annihilating the wolf pack that charged up.

  "Hsss!" The three-headed wolf couldn't sit still, and suddenly charged forward, instantly clashing with the three masters of Linjia Fort. The wolf whose body hair gradually turned fiery red charged towards the hunter from Linjia Fort whose aura was turning red, the wolf whose body hair was a yellowish-brown color charged towards the hunter whose aura was a yellowish-brown color, and the wolf whose body mostly turned silvery-white charged towards the person whose aura showed a greenish-blue color.

  From Guo Fei's experience, it was clear that the three-headed wolf demon beast had at least reached the realm of Great Perfection of Demon Guard, and was only one step away from becoming a Demon General. They were evenly matched with these three people.

  This level of battle was very helpful to Guo Fei, so he watched carefully. However, soon after the fight began, Guo Fei discovered that the three people from Linjiabao were no match for the three-headed wolf. Because they did not grasp high-level martial arts skills, nor did they have any ultimate techniques to stimulate their vital energy, and fell into a lower level. The head wolf, on the other hand, had cultivated its body with elixirs, and transformed into a beast that could stimulate the five elements to attack and cause harm. Its attacking power was much stronger.

  As expected, just like Hu Xiaoyue said, once a demon beast enters the ranks of Beast Soul attacks, it far surpasses humans of the same level, unless humans have powerful ultimate skills on their side, otherwise it's very difficult to counterattack.
