Chapter 553 Wolf Pack Hunt
Chapter 553 Wolf Pack Hunt
After making the call for help, Yi Chen and Bai Jue headed towards the direction from which the wolf howls were heard.
For safety reasons, the hunting teams of the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom cannot go to areas more than 500 kilometers away without a fourth-level leader.
Those who are not top-tier fourth-tier experts cannot serve as pioneers to explore unknown areas.
That's why Yichen and Baijue are paired up as a team.
Because the main force was scavenging the areas they had roughly explored in the rear, only they could continue to explore in depth.
In a short while, the two followed the sound to the place where the wolves were hunting.
To their surprise, the wolves were not hunting deer or cattle, but humans!
Or rather, it's a human city!
The location of that human city seemed somewhat detached from its surroundings, as if it had never belonged to this terrain and had only appeared recently.
However, the two of them quickly understood.
This human city is part of the original Earth region, while the surrounding area is part of the region that emerged during the second spiritual energy revival tide.
As for the wolf pack that hunted this human city, each of them was full of wildness in their eyes, their gazes towards the human city filled with greed, showing no trace of the shrewdness and wisdom of evolved creatures.
Clearly, this pack of wolves consisted entirely of savage beasts.
They came to hunt this human city solely out of their desire for food and their simplest instinct for evolution.
Fortunately, this human city has a good foundation for defense, with walls reaching a height of 100 meters. It must have been the result of the combined efforts of a large number of earth-elemental evolvers that such defensive facilities were completed.
However, seeing that the survivors of this city could only fight with their superpowers and bows and arrows, Yi Chen understood that without the intervention of external forces, the outcome of this hunt was self-evident.
In particular, after seeing the alpha wolf in the pack, with its exaggerated size.
Height exceeding ten meters, body length exceeding thirty-five meters...
Level five!
Without a doubt, this must be a fifth-tier savage beast!
If this fifth-tier savage beast had appeared at a different time, Yichen and Baijue would have been overjoyed.
However, this fifth-tier savage beast is the leader of a wolf pack of over a hundred, and they are currently hunting down a human city...
This is very bad.
At this moment, the fifth-tier wolf leader was leisurely waiting for his underlings to break through the defenses of the human city.
As the leader, although it is a savage beast with no superpowers or intelligence comparable to humans, it still has its own sense of pride.
It won't make a move unless its underlings can't take it down in half a day.
As a fifth-tier powerhouse, this is the proper attitude.
In fact, it has hundreds of wolves under its command, and judging from their size, twelve of them are fourth-tier, making it quite powerful.
On the other hand, in the human cities, there were quite a few people in the distance, but strangely, the number of evolved beings was not large.
The number of truly effective defensive forces is ridiculously small.
Even without a wolf leader, the wolf pack, like a cat playing with a mouse, would occasionally swarm to the city wall and provoke the guards above.
But when people frantically draw their bows and shoot arrows, the provocative giant wolves will quickly run away.
This is the hunting style that wolves are most familiar with. They do not pounce on their prey to fight it head-on at the beginning, but instead maintain constant harassment of the prey, exhausting it before launching a sudden attack and defeating it in one fell swoop.
The survivors in this city can only be dragged into this rhythm, their energy slowly being eroded, and their demise is already inevitable.
"Brother Chen... what do we do now?"
Having taken in the situation in the distance, Bai Jue lowered his voice and asked.
"Judging from the situation, there shouldn't be any large-scale casualties in the near future."
Let's first send a note to Cang Kong and ask Tiger for help.
If we just observe and wait, Tiger should be able to arrive before the wolves launch their final attack.
Yi Chen thought for a moment and then answered in a low voice.
This city of survivors, located within the Dragon Kingdom, must be inhabited entirely by Dragon Kingdom people.
As fellow citizens of China, if someone is in trouble and we encounter the same situation, how can we not lend a helping hand?
Moreover, they do have the ability to help.
However, this ability refers to their ability to summon the Celestials, not their ability to defeat fifth-order evolved creatures on their own.
Unless fifty fourth-tier powerhouses perform a legion chant together, only Cang Nian has managed to defeat a fifth-tier opponent with a fourth-tier powerhouse so far.
"Okay! I'll pass the note right now!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Jue nodded emphatically.
Then, she took out a piece of paper and started writing on it quickly.
After writing it down, she repeatedly opened and closed the light wheel of the storage space to prompt the little sable. Only after doing this several times did she put the note into the storage space.
Woof!
But just then, a deafening bark suddenly rang out!
Upon hearing the sound, Yichen quickly parted the branches and leaves and looked toward the source of the sound.
A large, slender dog with a head shaped like a bicycle seat and entirely black fur stood atop the city wall.
It was quite large, comparable to those fourth-tier giant wolves, but it was insignificant compared to a fifth-tier wolf leader.
Yet, when it faced hundreds of giant wolves alone, its eyes showed no fear, but rather a resolute determination to die.
Upon seeing this, the people on the city wall began shouting something, seemingly trying to stop the big dog.
However, the big dog jumped off the city wall without hesitation!
"Oh no! This bastard is just causing trouble!"
Upon seeing this, Yichen couldn't help but curse under his breath.
Given the current situation, the fifth-tier wolf leader is too lazy to take action and instead lets the other wolf pack members hunt him down.
The other members of the wolf pack hunted by surrounding the survivors without killing them, thus expending their energy. These survivors were safe for the time being.
Once the year of the dead arrives, everything will be calmed down.
However, the sudden appearance of this large black dog is about to disrupt this balance!
However, Yichen also knew that this was not the big dog's fault. It didn't know that there were reinforcements. It just wanted to fight to the death.
Huh~!
The next instant, the big dog that jumped off the city wall transformed into a cloud of black mist. The front of the mist still retained the shape of a dog's head, but its eyes shone with a scarlet light!
Immediately afterwards, the dark clouds, like cannonballs trailing flames, passed through the third and fourth-tier giant wolves!
Its mouth opened and closed, but it didn't leave a single scratch on the giant wolves.
Ouch~!
Ouch~!
However, the giant wolves that were swept by the cloud of mist that the big dog had transformed into were struck as if by lightning. After crying out in pain, they fell to the ground and could not get up, their bodies twitching uncontrollably!
In just one exchange, more than a dozen third- and fourth-tier giant wolves fell to the ground.
The large black dog, however, transformed back to its original form and gracefully landed opposite the wolf leader, its dog eyes fixed on the wolf leader without fear.
Although it was not even as tall as the wolf leader's knees, its imposing presence was not suppressed by the wolf leader; it was majestic and imposing.
